About: I have been around animals my entire life, whether it was pets of my own or friends and family’s. I have helped raise cats and dogs of all temperaments, friendly or not. Great communicator with great mid dayevening availability I’m currently working from home full time, so i can make regular, daily visits before, during, or after work. My schedule is very flexible. I adjust my care from pet to pet. Play if they are interested, and give space if they are not. Walks are a must if the weather is nice. Currently, my cat receives dry food and wet food daily, and litter cleaned daily. I would reflect my care for her onto your pet.

About: I’ve had my own dogs my whole life, currently have 3 and have spent the last couple years dog sitting for others, walking others dogs, as well as my own. I work well with any kind and age of dog! I currently work part-time at night 3-4 days a week. So lots of mornings and afternoon free time for dogs! My night availability varies but is not restricted. I currently can not care for other pets in my home, but would be able to treat yours just like my own in yours! I have experience with fenced yards, leashing dogs before letting outside, crating, and harnessing dogs.

About: Hi! I’m Genn, a lifelong animal lover and new Chicagoan who would genuinely love an excuse to spend more time with dogs. 🐾 I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. My family had three dogs while I was growing up, and I’ve also lived with cats for many years, so caring for animals has always been a normal part of my life. I love animals for their very different personalities, and I’m the person who will absolutely stop to say hi to a dog on the street. I recently moved to Chicago and live close to several parks, so I already spend a lot of my free time walking and exploring the neighborhood. Getting to take a pup along for the adventure feels like the perfect combination. I’m happy to do everything from a quick neighborhood walk to a longer stroll for dogs who need to burn some energy. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want someone to give mine, making sure they’re safe, comfortable, happy, and getting plenty of love and attention while they’re with me. I’m currently taking some time to explore my next professional opportunity, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I’d love to meet your pup! 🐶❤️ I have a very flexible schedule right now, which allows me to be available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m active and love getting outside, so I’m happy to build walks into my day and spend extra time with dogs who enjoy longer walks and exploring. I can also sit on the couch and provide belly rubs and inside play. I’m also flexible with weekday and weekend availability and will always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. Since I don’t currently have any pets or children of my own, my home is calm and free of distractions, which allows me to give visiting pets my full attention. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. When caring for pets in their own home, I’m respectful of their space and focus on keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing.

About: With over 5 years of pet care experience, I know that every pet is unique—and they deserve care that’s just as special. Whether it’s an energetic walk, playful companionship, or cozy couch time, I tailor every visit to your pet’s needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m detail-oriented, reliable, and believe clear communication is key. You can trust that your pet is in caring, capable hands—and maybe even having a little extra fun. I’d love the chance to meet you and your furry family! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on Sundays, and weekdays after 3pm. However, my schedule is flexible. I provide attentive care for pets, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment, maintaining routines, offering exercise and stimulation, giving affection and attention, administering medical care as needed, reinforcing positive behavior, and maintaining open communication with owners.

“Andres has been absolutely amazing! He has been amazing to work with. My pittie mix absolutely loves going for his walks with Andres. He is always on time and very professional. Would highly recommend.”

“Diana was so great! Super communicative, sent lots of cute pictures, and took great care of Birdie. She even put on a dog music channel on YouTube before she left :) can tell she really cares!”

“Sofiia was a wonderful referral who helped me last minute when my usual walker couldn’t make it. She was communicative and took good care of my little guy! Will definitely use her again.”

“Annie is an absolute gem. From day one, she’s been kind, reliable, and so clearly passionate about animals. My dog Mabel lights up the moment Annie walks through the door — she quite literally sprints to her leash! Annie has such an intuitive way with dogs; she understands Mabel’s quirks, matches her energy, and makes every walk fun and enriching. Her communication is excellent — I always get thoughtful updates and the cutest photos that capture how happy Mabel is. It’s such a comfort knowing my pup is in caring, capable hands. Annie doesn’t just walk dogs — she builds real connections with them. If you’re lucky enough to book her, you’ll quickly see why Mabel and I trust her completely. She’s the kind of walker every pet parent hopes to find.”

I have experience working with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I’ve completed over 100 services, including dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I treat every animal with patience, care, and attention, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. I’m a calm, reliable, and responsible person who truly loves animals. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a senior dog, or a shy cat, I always adapt to each pet’s individual needs and carefully follow all owner instructions. I’m very punctual, detail-oriented, and committed to providing the best care possible.

This allows me to provide consistent care, companionship, and love for your furry friend whenever needed. I always prioritize pets’ safety and comfort. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, usually in the client’s home, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I follow all instructions carefully, create a calm atmosphere, and make sure every pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for during visits. I provide attention, playtime, and supervision at all times to ensure their well-being.

“Eunice was wonderful! She was extremely responsive and communicative and asked lots of questions to make sure she gave our pup the best care.”

About: I’ve have ample experience raising dogs- though now I find myself a cat mom of 4 haha! I’m originally from Houston and would volunteer at the rodeo and shelter pretty adamantly. I’d enjoy my time advocating and caring for animals at the shelter and spay/neuter pop up events for those in need. In my neighborhood I managed to TNR over a dozen colony cats in my area and was able to send a couple young ones to happy homes :) Additionally, I have my Fear Free Shelter certification and am CPR and First Aid certified, too. My heart has always had a soft spot for pets and making them feel loved and safe as if they’re my own. My motto has always been there are no bad pets just sticky situations and certain accommodations we need to make to keep them at peace. I am freshly new to the city and wanting to make some warm connections involving my passion of animal care and wellbeing. My schedule is very flexible and open at the moment so it’s a perfect chance to explore and work on short notice. I currently have a studio but would love to house sit and do drop in visits for those in Chicago or near west loop. My goal would be to make the pet as comfortable as possible as well as bonding with the animal and humans involved haha.

“We are very grateful we found Mike! He is great with our two large dogs and has worked hard on keeping us updated on their walks, and working with them on listening better while walking. He is very responsive and respectful of our home, and we look forward to working with him again.”

“Chloe was amazing with our golden retriever. She was always on time and sent great photos to keep us updated. Highly recommend!!”
