About: I have 5-years of experience as the primary caregiver for my Pomeranian back in Taiwan. My responsibilities went far beyond just daily feeding and walking. I handled her full grooming routine every two weeks, including bathing, blow-drying, and even nail trimming. These tasks require a lot of patience, but I truly enjoy them! I love observing dog behavior to understand their emotions, allowing me to build a deep trust and find a perfect rhythm with every pup I care for. I have a flexible schedule as a graduate student, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I can make time for regular walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m also comfortable adjusting my schedule to follow each pet’s usual routine and make sure they receive the attention and care they need. I always follow each pet’s usual routine and the care instructions provided by their owner. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention and playtime, and regular walks or bathroom breaks as needed. I also pay close attention to their behavior and comfort, especially when they are in a new situation without their owner. I’ll keep their space clean and tidy and provide regular updates so owners can feel comfortable knowing their pets are well cared for.

“Ralena has been wonderful with my stubborn sassy little girl! She is so patient with her, and understands her needs. She’s always gentle and loving. She is very communicative and reliable. We’re so grateful we found her!! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had a family dog for the past 12 years and grew up helping take care of him, so I’ve always been a huge dog lover! I’m comfortable with dogs of all kinds and am happy to do anything from a quick walk around the block to a long walk for pups with lots of energy. I’m reliable, clean, communicative, and will always make sure your dog gets plenty of attention and love. I’m currently a graduate student in dietetics at Loyola University, which gives me a flexible schedule and lots of availability for walks, drop ins, and pet sitting. I truly love being around dogs and would be so excited to care for yours! I’m currently a graduate student in the Dietetics program at Loyola University’s Maywood Medical Campus. I have class on Mondays from 9:00 AM to 8:30 PM and Thursdays from 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM, but otherwise have a pretty flexible schedule! I do have plenty of homework and studying, but I can work from almost anywhere and love taking breaks for walks, playtime, and lots of pets. I truly love animals, and pet sitting is a great fit for me because it works well with my graduate school schedule while giving me an excuse to spend more time with dogs! I live in a high rise apartment, but I’m very comfortable caring for pets in their own home and am happy to travel to you. If your pet stays with me, I’ll make sure they get plenty of walks, bathroom breaks, attention, and playtime throughout the day. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and safe.

“Nataliia has been great! My dog can be a little anxious, but she is patient and built trust right away. It’s such a relief knowing he is in kind, capable hands. We especially appreciate the detailed updates after each walk—it shows genuine care and professionalism.”

About: I am a lifetime dog owner, volunteer with Last Hope. I foster and rescue with PAWS. I volunteer for the animal program at The Nettlehorst School, and plan to open an animal sanctuary. I work part time and have flexible hours. I can meet almost any scheduling needs and will work with you to do what's best for you and your animal(s). My building has an indoor fenced dog park. I have an apartment with a large outdoor balcony. I will focus on your pet's safety above all else.

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.

“Omar is great! He’s walked my dog a few times and will be watching both my dogs while I’m on vacation next week. He’s responsive and friendly. He’s on time. He follows all my instructions and was great with my dogs. I’m looking forward to having him as my permanent sitter!! 10/10 recommend.”

Nia P.

“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.”

“Jacob was my first dog walker for Bear. He arrived later than booked but communicated his arrival. Jacob was able to answer my questions and we spoke about Bear and his behavior. Jacob returned with a happy pup after an hour. I like the report card that shows the walk they went on. I would recommend.”

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.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I have taken care of, walked, fed and boarded many pets since I was 8 years old. I have a deep love for dogs and can't wait to make your dogs day better! I also have experience taking care of cats and giving medications to cats and dogs. I am currently working part time so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to pet sitting. I also have reliable transportation to get to your pets when needed. I do not have any pets in my home so I can give my undivided attention to your fur babies! I live right by a lot of parks and walking areas.

“Christopher has been great with our dog so far! He leaves thorough reviews and always makes sure he has enough water, which is very important given how hot Chicago gets in the summer. You can tell he loves dogs from the way he cares for them. He was also willing to come to meet our pup for a meet and greet prior to the walks which we very much appreciated. Looking forward to keeping Christopher on board as a stellar dog walker.”

“Lizzie is great! Very flexible, accommodating, and excellent communication. She took lots of pictures of my dog Murphy while on his walk to the park. I would def choose Lizzie to walk Murphy again! If you're on the fence and not sure who to choose, choose Lizzie!!”

“Brittany is so patient and kind with our big scaredy Dane puppy. Thank you for taking the time to meet her and letting her warm up to you. We appreciate you taking such great care of her. Highly recommend Brittany!!”

About: Natalia and I both have had dogs for most of our lives and get tons of joy from being around dogs all the time. We even met each other with our dogs. Life with Pepper, our miniature dachshund, is full of laughs, strolling around the neighborhood, and endless cuddling. She is always making us laugh with her larger than life personality. We plan to get another dog, and in the meantime, we would be happy to hang out with yours if you need a sitter while you head out of town. Pepper loves dogs, and they will be running around and cuddling and playing most of the day. Pepper has lived with dogs before and likes to have friends over. We look forward to helping out with your pup! Update: Welcome to Lola, our new lab rescue! Update 2026: Sadly, Pepper crossed the rainbow bridge in 2024, and now we have a wonderful scruffy rescue, Tallulah! Stay tuned for added photos as we move along!
