“Rachael was a wonderful sitter. She gave us regular, personal updates and sent pictures twice a day when she visited. I could really tell that she cares about animals and treated our dogs and cat like her own. It was also a very nice touch that she brought in our mail. I would certainly recommend her services to anyone in need of a sitter.”


“Katie is so good to our River! She goes above and beyond during her visits. I feel so much better about leaving River while we're at work since their visits together started. Highly recommend Katie!”


“Sarah was amazing with my dog! She’s so sweet and patient with him and she was able to help on such short notice! I will definitely be booking with her again.”


About: I adopted my first dog at 25, a Bassett hound with special needs. Since then, I have gained experience caring for my own dogs as well as fostering several dogs. I have experience providing post surgery critical care as well as administering medication. Most importantly I am dedicated to providing the same level of care and communication that I expect for my own pups. I have wide range of availability during the summer months as I’m not currently working. I can be available as early as 7am or as late as 10pm. I am committed to arriving on time, and caring for your pets as if they were my own. Your pets’ wellbeing and safety is of utmost importance. I am more than happy to not only provide time to stretch their legs and potty, but also water, food, belly rubs and administer medication if needed.

“Aritza is a gem! She’s punctual, communicative trustworthy and an independent problem solver. We will book with her again!”


“Heather was amazing with my cat, Ember! Emmy took to her right away and I knew it was a purrfect match. 🙂 She is responsible and trustworthy. I would highly recommend Heather and will be using her in the future!”


“Jen is awesome! She has been dropping in on my little pup and having play time. He looks so happy in his pictures and excited to have a new friend. Thank you Jen for making these new puppy parents less stressed”


About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience, a deep love for animals, and a calm, reliable approach to care. I’m 31 years old and have spent my entire life around dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Whether it’s caring for energetic puppies, giving gentle attention to senior pets, or just understanding each pet’s unique needs, I treat every animal like my own—with patience, affection, and respect. I’m confident in administering basic medications, recognizing pet body language, and keeping animals safe, comfortable, and happy in any environment. I work full-time from 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday, but I’m available for pet sitting on weekends and for walks or drop-in visits after 5pm on weekdays. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to give them the attention, activity, and affection they need when I’m with them. I have a fenced in yard with enough space to run and play, I also have a chocolate lab who is laid back and loves other dogs.

“Madison, Thank you for taking good care of Maggie for us. We appreciate your prompt service and attention to detail. And Maggie appreciated the attention and time spent with her. Best Regards, Kevin and Teresa”



“Very reliable and communicative!”


“She was excellent!! She went above and beyond of what I asked for. The communication was excellent. I would recommend her to anyone!! I would book her services again.”


About: I have been taking care of the pets of friends and family for years, ranging from dog-walking to week-long pet sitting. Experience with a wide range of breeds and ages. I am a substitute teacher with a very flexible schedule, so I can take care of animals pretty much any time during days when I am not subbing. For sitting at other’s’ home, I try and keep the pet’s schedule as close to normal as possible! I prefer sitting in other’s’ homes just to keep things simple for the furry babies.

“Dana is fantastic with the dogs! Prompt and a great communicator!”


About: I love all the furry babies, my own fur babies are treated like my children. I work from home, so your baby would have my attention through the entire day. We would have time to play, walk, snuggle, and bond. I have a large fenced in back yard. Your baby would feel at home and comfortable in my home, they would have full access to roam and wander. They also would be allowed on the couches / beds for snuggles and belly rubs. I work from home, giving me the flexibility to ensure your pup has plenty of time and attention. I have an 11 year old son who is just as much as an animal lover. I have a large fenced in back yard. My foxy girl loves to get her zoomies out back there, and loves playing fetch. My son will love on, play, and engage with your pup also.

About: My family has grown up with dogs but I’ve also had experience caring for cats. I also own a horse and very well versed in animal behaviors and caring for animals. I treat animal like it’s my own including love, snuggles, and providing whatever care they need. I’m looking to provide affordable options for individuals or families who want what’s best for their animal! I work remotely and my job is flexible. I am able to take my job with me so I am open to taking jobs that require longer stays, as long as you are okay with me working in the home. I am a very respectful individual and will only go in the areas you give permission too. Your home will be treated how I would want my own home treated.


About: Hi there! My name is Allison and I’m a labor and delivery nurse in the Chicagoland area. Where to begin...I have a Goldendoodle named Delilah and have experience not only caring for my own pup but also pet sitting for families with dogs of many different breeds and ages (Pitbull puppy, senior German Shephard, adult King Charles, etc.). I absolutely love taking pups on walks, playing fetch or just hanging out with them! I am more than happy to adjust to all types of different pups needs whether it be with regard to medication administration or high energy levels - I would be more than happy to accommodate! I would love to share more about my experience or provide references! Can't wait to hear from you!

About: I've had pets my entire life, from rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, dogs and so many more. Family, friends, neighbors & those who have found out about me through word of mouth have relied on me to walk, feed, clean-up after & bathe their pets ranging from cats, dogs, fish, rats, goats, horses & even a tortoise. My mornings & early afternoons are open for dog walks & drop-ins anytime from 9am-2pm Monday-Friday. Saturdays and Sundays I’m available for walks before 8am and potential drop-ins throughout the day. My main priority is to keep your furry friends comfortable and safe. For walks & drop-ins, dogs do not need to be child friendly, though this may enable me to be more flexible with the timing of a service.

About: I am at foster with 2 different rescues and have volunteered at shelters for many years. I also pet sit for friends and family when they are out of town. I am very patient with dogs and love them so much! I will soon be solely an independent photographer so I only work when I have sessions or editing to do, leaving me with lots of time to dedicate to the pups 😀 The dogs wellbeing is my top concern always! If I am coming to walk or play with your dog while you're at work I will make sure your family member is happy and content before leaving.

About: Anyone who knows me knows I am a huge dog lover. I was raised with a dog and went on to get a dog of my own. A sheltie. He was just 8 weeks old. I had the greatest experience training and raising him. He was my best friend and buddy. He unfortunately passed away at the age of 12. I have a high level of love and compassion for dogs as well as other animals. I am a very patient and love to go on walks, play and cuddle. I have two teenage girls who visit and are just as much a dog lover as myself. I do not work outside the home and have the time and attention to give to your best friend. I live in a quiet and dog friendly neighborhood offering comfortable accommodations. I’m happy to share anymore information you would like

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life from puppy/kitten to seniors and always try to make everyday special for them. Very attentive to their needs. Detail and safety oriented. I have a full time work from home job so taking care of pets during the day would be simple if they are taken care of here. I am flexible if need to be in your home, as long as I have internet access for work. I have a very large fenced in yard and numerous rooms in the house to keep your pet comfortable and taken care of. I have my own medium sized dog and cat so if they are friendly they can play but if not, can always sequester them in a nice safe space.
