About: I have experience caring for pets and understand the importance of providing them with patience, attention, and a safe environment. My responsibilities have included feeding pets according to their schedules, providing fresh water, taking dogs for walks, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of exercise and companionship. I am comfortable following specific care instructions and paying close attention to each pet’s individual needs and behavior. I am dependable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. After spending 33 years working in corporate America, I am excited to begin a new chapter in life—one centered around spending more time with animals and providing them with loving, dependable care. I developed a strong sense of responsibility, reliability, patience, and attention to detail. I understands the importance of being trustworthy and following through on commitments, qualities that are just as important when caring for someone’s beloved pets. Now retired, I have the time and flexibility to give pets the attention, companionship, exercise, and care they deserve. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and creating a safe, comfortable environment where they can feel happy and relaxed. For me, pet care is more than simply a responsibility—it’s an opportunity to enjoy the companionship of animals while giving their owners peace of mind that their pets are in caring and capable hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My loft provides a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel at home. When your pet stays with me, you can feel confident knowing they’re receiving attentive, loving care in a safe home away from home. My goal is simple: for you to have peace of mind and for your pet to feel loved, secure, and comfortable.

“10/10 super kind and my pup was immediately excited to meet her for the first time, which I think is an EXCELLENT SIGN! Would highly recommend!”

“Anthony is the BEST. We had daily walks while traveling scheduled to help out since my mom isn’t able to walk steadily or far in order to take our dog out. She said that each time, our dog would sit by the door after being told “Anthony is coming over!” Apparently, she sat by the door and couldn’t WAIT for him to arrive. That’s all I need to know. She loved her walks with Mr Anthony, so more walks she will need to have! Thank you Anthony for a stress and worry free time away from our fur baby. We knew she was in excellent hands. We will book again soon!”

“Nadine is absolutely wonderful! My dog Maverick tells me about all the fun adventures and colorful sniffs they unfold together. The pictures of Maverick are definitely ones I love to see while I'm off making movie magic to fill his dog bowl and repeat this wonderful cycle. Keep the good vibes going.”

About: I became the go to pet sitter for my friends in grad school. My work is flexible so I would spend a lot of time building that experience that I didn’t have growing up when it came to pets. It has been an incredible journey caring for and looking after pets and I am excited to continue to hone in on the skills and expertise that I have 💕 My work is hybrid so I have very open weekdays where work from home up until I have to commute to do in person work from 5-10pm. Weekends are completely free with me so I’ll spend it hanging out with friends, catching up on household chores, or just resting from the long week. I have a lot of time to care for pets as the work I do is more marketing, communicative, strategic work that is self paced and guided so I can always take breaks when need be. The area that I live in is incredibly pet friendly and there are a multitude of parks a places where a pet can run freely.

“Patrick so great and patient with my pup Jack! He takes his time making sure his collar is placed correctly and takes very good care of him! I will def be booking again!”

“Sofia was great with walking my two very energetic dogs on short notice. She was very communicative before and during the walk, and she gave a great update post walk. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I have shared my life with cats since childhood, which has given me a deep, natural understanding of their unique languages and temperaments. As a current cat owner myself, I know that cats are not just pets—they are family. I understand how important it is for them to maintain their daily routines and feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I believe communication is key to a pet owner’s peace of mind. I always provide regular photo and video updates so you can see exactly how your furry friend is doing. I will treat your home with respect and your cat with the same love and devotion I give to my own. I have a fully flexible schedule and am available 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. Whether you need a one-time visit or a long-term sitter, I can easily accommodate your cat’s routine. I offer a safe, calm, and fully cat-proofed home environment where your cat will be treated like family. My home is a dedicated 'cat-friendly' space with plenty of cozy spots for napping and safe areas for play. I take safety very seriously; all windows are secured, and there are no hazardous plants or small objects accessible. Since I have my own cat, I am experienced in slow, stress-free introductions if needed, or I can provide a completely separate, quiet room if your cat prefers to be alone. I maintain a very high standard of cleanliness, with litter boxes scooped multiple times a day. Your cat will have my full attention and a peaceful atmosphere throughout their stay

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all kinds since I was 15 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets over the years, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your pup wants lots of playtime and walks or is happiest curled up beside me getting cuddles, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m especially patient and gentle with dogs who need a little extra time to feel comfortable in a new environment. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know that your pet is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own, with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and, of course, treats. 🐾 I have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide your pup with the attention, playtime, and companionship they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and daycare on weekdays and weekends. I’m not currently offering overnight boarding, but I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine and needs. 🐾 I provide attentive, loving care in your pet’s home, following their usual routine so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I’m respectful of your home and your pet’s space, and I follow all care instructions closely. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and daytime care, but I’m not able to provide overnight stays or boarding in my apartment.

“I have a reactive dog and Angela was very understanding of the situation. I did my best to provide directions, so that and her experience with reactive dogs made it so taking out my dog was a breeze. Definitely will be booking Angela in the future!”

About: Moved from Vegas to Chicago summer of 2023! I took time to acclimate myself with the city before I turned my Rover profile back on. I have had dogs my whole life. I am very confident in my knowledge of dogs health & behavior to care for your fur-babies well. They would be in great hands, & having a great time hanging out with me, an extreme dog lover! I'm very well-accustomed to being around dogs of all sizes. I've taken care of many different kinds of dogs and they always brighten my day. I have one dog of my own! They are a huge part of my life.I am looking forward to meeting you & your pup. Currently working part time. Looking to fill my time with my outdoor walking, hanging out with doggies and exploring the city more. We moved here from Vegas 3 years ago and have not explored much. I work from home so I can step away easily to handle any dog walking bookings. I give all the dogs I care for 100% attention and care to make sure their needs are met and they are comfortable. I am patient and intuitive to what is needed. I enjoy walking so it’s a benefit for both me and your doggo. I follow instructions well and will not hesitate to reach out if I have a question. I provide constant follow ups with photos as well to provide peace of mind for the owners.

About: I took care of my childhood dog until he sadly passed from cancer last year. Since then ive picked up more pet sitting shifts and I always enjoy taking care of animals! Im a full time student with a part time job, looking to make some extra cash to help my pay off college. I work around my current schedule, but your pets will be taken care of! Ill spend time playing with them, making sure they have water (and food if its a meal time), and i'm willing to walk your pet too if requested/needed. For cats ill also make sure the litter box is clean.
