“Jackson I 10/10 recommend!! I will be scheduling with him again in the future! As a new user on here I was very skeptical with all of this. I have a big pup who is very hyper-active. He was amazing and very professional with all aspects. From the communication, reassurance, and detailed plan (he will provide). I felt so much better about this process! I know my dog can be a lot for other people but he was a champ!! Thank you so much again! For taking care of my baby as your own✨✨✨✨🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼”

About: I'm a stay at home mom who would love to give your pet a fun, safe place to be while you're away! I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10, everything from high energy herding dogs to disabled senior cats to newborn puppies. Since I'm able to be around all day, I can give your pet the full attention and care I know I want for my own when I'm away as well. If they stay with us, we have a nice fenced in backyard and our own very friendly dog they can play with as well. I also have a 1 year old with me at all times, which may be important to know. If your pet stays with us I will keep a very watchful eye/keep them separate if there's any doubt about your pet's comfortability with children around. On our end we've taught our child pet safety from day 1 with our own dog, so we have never had a problem. For walks and drop-in visits, he will be in a carrier on my back. So excited to meet you and your pet! I'm a stay at home mom so I am very flexible with my daily routine and am able to give lots of time to your loved one! I have a nice fenced in yard and a very friendly medium-energy dog that yours can play with if they'd like. I'm very used to following specific feeding instructions, giving medication, etc.,. Whatever care and attention your pet needs, you can trust that they will get it here! I also love to send update photos! I know how nice it is to see that my guy is doing well when I'm away so I'd love to give you that peace of mind as well!

“Stephanie and Beau ( my goldendoodle) immediately connected from the start. I haven't seen Beau this comfortable with someone before. Stephanie you are amazing at what you do. Thank you for your help”

About: I was the primary caretaker for my beloved West Highland Terrier Piper during her senior years until she passed at 17, this included giving medications and providing dynamic enrichment to help her doggie mind and body. I want to do the same for your precious pet! I am a remote student and part time babysitter, I am unable to have my own dog at the moment so I am always looking for a furry friend to spend study breaks and free time with! Strangers can be scary, so I will always engage with your pets to their comfort level and build trust at safe and respectful pace. This safe and respectful attitude also extends to any other pets in the home, and the space itself.

“Jennifer is amazing with our dogs and really helped us out when we needed her. Animals clearly love and feel comfortable with her; even my chihuahuah who hates everyone comes up to her. Will be using Jennifer again and again. Thanks so much for taking good care of our girls”

“I contacted Victoria without much.notice hoping to get somebody to walk my dog 2 times on a day where I was going to be gone for at least 12 hours. She had never met me or my dogs but took on the task. She was.able.to get my dogs out, hung out with them a bit in my yard, and for their second afternoon session she took them for a wooded hike and to a pet store for treats. She went above and beyond and my dogs were very pleased. Great job V.”

“This is our second booking with Valerie, and we are so grateful to have a dog walker we trust. She always takes great care of our pup and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend!”

“Addison was great! And caring of my two pups. I would definitely book with her again. I don't worry that they are in good hands and feel they are safe in her care. Thank you for being you!”

“Wonderful to have our puppy being played with and walked while I'm not available. Always spends more time than needed and cares for Bellas best interest. Thanks!”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and currently care for two of my own with ongoing health needs: one with hip dysplasia, who needs walks with breaks, physical therapy, and swimming sessions, and one with IBD, who needs a strict diet and daily medication. I'm comfortable giving medication, managing special diets, and following care instructions exactly as given. I also spent a year pet-sitting a neighbor's puppy and cat, including daily visits and boarding. I'm a parent to a toddler and available every weekday morning, roughly 8:30am to 12pm, for visits and walks. Caring for pets is part of my daily rhythm already, so your pet gets my full attention during our time together, not a rushed in-between. I follow each pet's routine and instructions closely, whether that's medication, a specific diet, or a particular walking pace. I'm attentive to small changes in behavior or appetite, since I manage similar things with my own dogs at home. I send photo updates during visits so you always know how things went.

“Goes above and beyond for my dog :)”

About: I am currently enrolled at Fox College studying to become a vet technician. I have loved animals my whole life. I began volunteering at my local shelter as soon as I could. I began volunteering with my parents since I was only 10 when I started. I have also been lucky enough to foster multiple families of kittens. You can rely on me to keep your pets entertained, their space clean and ultimately make your life easier! I am currently nannying for two boys on weekday afternoons so I am able to walk or check in on pets before or after that commitment. Other than that my schedule is very flexible. When I care for someone else’s pet, I follow their routine, give them affection, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I stick to your instructions and stay in touch so the pet feels well cared for while you’re away.

“The absolute BEST dog walker we've ever had!!! I have two crazy 12 year old Husky mixes with very different needs. One is high-energy, loves to run, get into trouble and chase anything with fur or feathers. The other is arthritic, vocal and very stubborn. Sarah has been able to keep them properly exercised, entertained and above all SAFE for two years :) We are so lucky to have found her--she is an absolute GEM! I would recommend her in a heartbeat, but after seeing the 90+ glowing reviews, she doesn't need it.”

“Zhiyang was great. She followed all very specific directions for my young puppy’s schedule. You can tell she really loves animals with her care and playfulness. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”

About: Throughout my entire life, I have loved taking care of dogs and cats, with two dogs and three cats of my own. Taking care of animals is my safe place! I currently work as a Certified Nursing Assistant here in Naperville, only part-time where I choose my own hours, meaning i’m very flexible! With any pets, I like to slowly introduce myself to avoid stress on our loved ones. I find that fulfilling the time with walks, treats, and toys make your fur babies the happiest!

About: I’ve spent the past two years working hands-on with animals, and caring for pets is something I genuinely love. I started working at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I became a Kennel Manager and spent my days caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I regularly supervised playgroups of up to 15 dogs, which taught me how to read body language really well and understand when a dog is having fun, feeling nervous, needs a break, or just wants some extra space. I also cared for boarding dogs with different feeding routines, medications, and special needs, and became comfortable working with dogs who were fearful, nervous, reactive, or aggressive. I now work in a kennel at an animal hospital, where I continue to care for boarding dogs and provide them with the attention and care they need while their families are away. I also have experience caring for cats, including feeding, litter box care, medication, and of course, plenty of love and attention! I’ve cared for pets staying for both short and long periods of time and understand that every animal has their own personality and routine. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet individually and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. To me, pets are family, and I want every dog or cat in my care to feel like they’re getting the same love and attention they would at home. 🐾❤️ i currently work part time at an animal hospital! with that being said i have a lot of availability during the week. i am free monday through friday from 11:45AM- 3pm. dependent on my work schedule i have other availability as well! i have a condo with no other pets! i do not have a fenced in yard however i have plenty of grassy space for long walks! i also have plenty of access to parks and other areas to get plenty of outside playtime!

About: Animal and Pet Experience: I currently volunteer weekly at a cat shelter where I interact with and take care of a wide range of cats. I absolutely adore working there and have always been an animal lover! I've owned and taken care of a variety of pets throughout my life, including cats, dogs, gerbils, and at one point in my adolescence, a toad. I love and am capable of taking care of a wide range of animals. All of the cats I grew up with had feline leukemia, leading them to require extra care and medication. I am known for being very gentle and patient, and will give your beloved pet lots of attention, care, and cuddles. :) Flexibility/Location/Hours: I am very flexible in terms of pricing, hours, location, and last-minute bookings or cancellations. I know how chaotic life can be and how valuable flexibility is, especially when it comes to the care of our pets. I am willing to negotiate, make adjustments as needed, and will prioritize the best and most stress-free experience for you and your pets. General Qualities: I am a very fast learner, rule-follower, and problem-solver, and will not hesitate to communicate or ask questions if I have them. I want nothing but the best possible experience for you, the owner, and your beloved pets, as I know how much value they bring to a household. I am always happy and quick to communicate if you have any questions or concerns. I promise your furry friend is in good hands! I am currently in the market for an animal-related job, and I am waiting to hear back from several dog kennels and pet stores. In the meantime, Rover is my priority for income and further animal experience. On Monday nights, from 6-8 pm, I typically have a prior commitment, but it can easily be adjusted or joined virtually. For now, animal care and pet-sitting are my number one priority. I do not offer pet sitting at my home, but I am very flexible in terms of location and hours to do what is best for your pet at your own home. I can provide additional treats and toys if allowed or preferred, and will prioritize the safety and care of your pet. I will follow the rules and schedule that are provided and will update you with any questions, concerns, or updates. My main priority is providing safe, stress-free, reliable care that is personalized for your household and pet to your standards and expectations.

“Elizabeth was wonderful with Belle. I highly recommend her.”
