About: I work from home most days and enjoy walking midday and as my time permits. Currently I volunteer at an animal shelter walking and running dogs of all sizes. Having a furry companion makes it all the more enjoyable! I currently have a hybrid work schedule but it is flexible when working from home. Dog walking makes sense as my schedule is consistent and I love to walk! I can ensure that your pet will be happy and safe by following your guidelines and instructions. If your pet has special needs, I can adhere to those too!
“Jenny has been absolutely wonderful walking my puppy weekly, who requires some extra patience and care! She is timely, friendly, and goes above and beyond. I would highly recommend her!”

About: Since I was 11, my neighbors have trusted me to feed and walk their dogs + cats. I have handled very large dogs but also small dogs without struggle, with a wide range of ages from puppies to seniors. I have worked with multiple special needs animals and can administer any kind of medicine. I am a student so I have summer off right now, but start school august 25th. Most important holidays I will be gone out of town for. I am in a boating family, so most weekends we try to get out onto the lake during the summer!! Mostly only free during summer and Christmas break, I try to keep my calendar up to date but feel free to always reach out! I have a fenced in yard with enough space for your pups to run around and play. My neighborhood is a very safe and quiet area. I pay close attention to the pup and will follow your care directions exactly how you would like!

I would definitely ask her again for any other services I need for my dog!!!”

About: Hi, I’m Genesis. I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant for four years and now pet sit full-time. That experience taught me how to care for all kinds of pets. Shy, energetic, senior, or on medication. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible, and I only step out of the home for short periods if needed. I am currently pet sitting full time and will be able to adjust to your pets schedule as necessary. Giving as much exercise and potty breaks as they need! With a background in veterinary medicine, I’m always keeping an eye out for anything that might be unsafe. Whether it’s dropped food, chewed-up toys, or open doors. I don’t allow dogs to meet other dogs while out on walks, and I never do any off-leash activities unless it’s in a securely fenced yard with your approval. I keep things calm, clean, and consistent, and I’m comfortable handling anything from minor issues to emergencies if they come up. Your pet will be in good, experienced hands.
About: I live in a bi-level home in Mount Prospect with my wonderful rescues Bella and Riley. I have grown up caring for dogs my whole life and just adore them. I love dogs and cats and often sit the pets of my friends when they go out of town or even just to have a play date with my Bella and Riley. I have a full-time job, but it is very flexible. I will be available to drop in for visits during the day and night. If your fur baby is staying with me, I want to make sure your pet feels at home, so they are allowed everywhere, couches and the bed. I will also take pictures and provide updates often to make you feel at ease. I would love to care for your fur baby. Please trust that they will be spoiled and loved like my own. I do have a full-time job, but it is very flexible. I would be able to step out for a quick potty break or cuddle. I am available during the day and night, I am also available on the weekends. I have a fenced in large back yard and 2 fur babies to keep you baby company if they are at my home. If I am in a client home, I would adapt to the way they are taken care when you are with them.
About: Since the age of 8 I have been around and raised all kinds of animals. Cats, dogs, ducks (hatched and raised) , rabbits, hamsters, turtles, frogs, guinea pigs. I have lots of patience (I have 2 human babies and 3 fur babies haha), lots of love and lots of experience! I currently work part time (I make my own schedule) and would be able to fit in pet care whenever it is needed by the pet parent. I have a fenced in backyard, I am a current home owner so no need to worry about any apartment building neighbors. I have a very loving pup who would love to have a friend over at our house! If owner feels more comfortable with me going to their house alone, that is also more than okay as well! Whatever makes YOU feel most comfortable, I am here to do!
“Emily always does a wonderful job! She takes my 100 pound German Shepherd for walks with no complaints; and I know he can be a puller! She always shows up for her time with Atlas and makes sure he gets plenty of exercise while she’s here. Seeing the pictures of him while at work, puts my mind at ease. Atlas and I are so lucky to have Emily’s help!”
About: I have a lot of experience caring for and training dogs including my 2 German Shepherds, 2 Black labs, and a Standard Poodle. I have trained agility, obedience, and have fostered and trained a full service dog while in college. I have dog sat for many friends and neighbors over the years and am confident handling large dogs. My schedule varies throughout the week but I have a consistent schedule and days off. I am available M/W evenings, T/Th mornings, Fridays, Saturday afternoons and Sundays. I am currently not able to care for dogs in my own home, but could care for them in your home. I like to keep dogs to their schedule of feeding, playing, exercise etc to minimize their anxiety while you are away!
“Michelle was super awesome and the best to walk toby while I’m away from home. 10/10 recommend if you’re in Lakeview looking for someone to let your little pup out for a break in the day.”
About: I bring a deep passion and understanding to pet sitting. Growing up with a golden retriever and raising my daughters to share this love for dogs has enriched my expertise in providing attentive and affectionate care. My home is a warm, welcoming environment where your pup will feel like part of the family, complete with plenty of playtime and cuddles. My flexible work-from-home schedule allows for pet care to integrate seamlessly into my day. I am available for daycare most days of the week, anytime from 7am to 7pm. This allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. My home office setup lets me keep a close eye on your pup, ensuring they receive plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. My teen daughters, who adore dogs, also help out, making our home a lively, loving environment where your pet will always have companionship and care. Our home features a spacious, fenced-in yard, providing a safe and secure environment for your pup to explore and play. My friendly Viszla Retriever mix, Nash, is always eager to make new friends and will keep your fur baby company with his playful and gentle nature.

“My pup, Maggie, was always so excited to see Mary for walks, day care and extended stays. I know Mary is a dog lover and it showed with all the care, cuddles, walks, play time and attention she gave Maggie. Maggie could be high maintenance in her later years with specific diets and medications and I couldn’t trust anyone more than Mary. She’s kind, caring, professional, punctual and took great care of my dear Maggie on many occasions. I highly recommend Mary for your pet sitting needs.”

Genesis D.
“Genesis cared for our two cats and one dog over a ten day period. This was the first time she housesat for our pets. We've had many people care for our pets over the years, but Genesis will always be my first call, going forward. She was fantastic. She came to our house before vacation to meet our pets, go over their schedules, and review paperwork. Her professionalism and obvious love for animals told me that our pets would be in great hands. I was right. Every day of our trip, she sent a detailed update with multiple photos which soon became one of the highlights of my day (the other people on our trip didn't hear a word from their pet sitters and were very jealous!!). She informed us ahead of time of a pre-scheduled conflict, and then went above and beyond to coordinate temporary care with a neighbor. I highly recommended Genesis for all pet care! She is very professional, highly communicative, trustworthy and kind. FIVE STARS!!!”
Vanessa C.
“Vanessa is very passionate at what she does and always give her 120% to make our dog feel loved and cared for. She treated my dog Aki as her own. We love her! I couldn't trust anyone else with Aki aside from her! She is one of the best dog caregiver out there!”
Julia W.Star Sitter
“Julia is such an amazing young woman. She is genuine and reliable and just a really great person. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will 100% be having her stay with our fur babies again. It is such a peaceful feeling knowing that both your babies and your home are well cared for while you are away. My cats are not very friendly, but there is something about Julia that completely changed that in them, at least when it came to her. They totally love her!! It is probably because of her calm and patient manner with them. Thank you again for everything Julia!”
