Mario was great for our dogs and really cared for them while we were out of town. We were worried leaving during fireworks since one is terrified, but he calmed him down great! Mario was very informative and replied quickly. We will definitely use him again!

About: I have hands-on experience dog sitting for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, administering basic care, maintaining routines, and ensuring each dog feels safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m attentive, reliable, and always prioritize a dog’s well-being, safety, and individual needs. If you text me ahead of time I normally free everyday. I only work randomly 1-2x a week and my shifts aren’t long making my schedule very open. I also have 2 dogs of my own boy and girl that I take care of everyday. Please NOTE I HAVE 2 DOGS OF MY OWN. I CANT ACCEPT SICK DOGS OR UNFRIENDLY DOGS. I closely follow owner instructions, monitor behavior and health, and ensure secure spaces during walks, playtime, and rest. By creating a consistent and stress-free environment, I help dogs feel comfortable, protected, and confident while their owners are away. I also have a fenced in yard for them to go to the bathroom.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life — from growing up with them to raising my own now. I currently care for a black Lab with a strong personality, so I understand leash control, structure, and clear boundaries. I’m calm, consistent, and confident with all breeds, including high-energy or reactive dogs. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walks, feeding, cleanup, and calming routines. Whether your dog needs structured exercise or just a reliable visitor, I’m ready to show up. I work part-time with a consistent, flexible routine that allows me to care for your dogs during the day. I’m available for walks and drop-ins: • Mondays after 11:00 AM • Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays after 8:00 AM If your dog needs structured exercise, calm energy, or just a mid-morning break, I’ve got you covered. While I do not offer in-home boarding, I provide dependable drop-ins and walks tailored to your dog’s needs. I live with my own dog, Sam, who is reactive to other animals, so I cannot bring pets into my home — but this also means I understand how to work calmly and respectfully with dogs that may need space or structure. I’m confident handling leash reactivity, high-energy dogs, and special instructions.

About: I’m a pet loving individual here to help and protect your fur babies in your absence. My name is Cynthia and I currently have two cats, one beagle/hound dog, one hermit crab and a beta fish. I am patient, flexible, caring and have dog and cat training experience, since I grew up with pets of all kinds. I have experience with both large and small dog breeds. I’m flexible with whatever the needs are of your animal and will treat your dog/cat like our own plus accommodate as necessary. I’m active and love going on dog walks or cat sitting and look forward to taking care of your fur babies. Happy to provide references. I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to take care of more than one pet. I’m also flexible either morning or evening works good for me. I have a big fenced yard and two crates (size small and medium) if needed. I also have a friendly dog who can play and keep your fur baby company.

About: 🐾 About us Certified Dog Trainer (Animal Behavior College – Positive Reinforcement Based Training) I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and what started as helping family and friends turned into a true passion and profession. My wife and I both work from home, which means your dog receives consistent supervision, structure, and plenty of attention throughout the day. 📍 Located 10 minutes from O’Hare — perfect for travelers. 🕒 Drop-Off & Pick-Up Hours Monday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Tuesday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Wednesday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Thursday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Friday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Saturday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Sunday: 12:30 PM – 9:00 PM Please select a specific 30-minute drop-off and pick-up window when booking. I ask that you arrive within that window so we can keep transitions smooth, organized, and stress-free for everyone. If anything changes, just communicate as early as possible — I completely understand that travel plans can shift. 🏡 Our Home & Philosophy We have a fully fenced yard and a dog-friendly home designed with safety in mind. Playtime is always supervised, and dogs only interact if we’re 100% confident they get along. It’s completely okay if your dog prefers people over other dogs — we respect every dog’s personality. Each dog enjoys free roaming, walks, and one-on-one interaction with us — they’re treated like part of the home, not just part of a group. 📋 Requirements Dogs must be crate trained and comfortable resting in a crate when needed. They must also be up to date on all required vaccinations to ensure the health and safety of every dog in our care. These standards help us maintain a calm, structured, and safe environment for everyone. 📸 Updates You’ll receive daily updates with photos so you can relax knowing your best friend is in great hands. 🐾 Our biggest priorities are ❤️ Love, 🛡 Safety, 🤝 Trust, and 🏡 Comfort. Our number one rule: no dog is ever put in a position where they feel they have to defend themselves.

About: I have over 9 years of experience as a dedicated pet owner. I've successfully managed a multi-pet household with both cats and dogs, understanding the unique needs and personalities of each individual. For the past 4 years, I have cared for family and friends pets with overnight stay and evening play-dates with my pets. My experience includes: Feeding, grooming, administering medications, and providing fresh water. I've successfully trained multiple puppies using positive reinforcement methods, focusing on basic obedience, socialization, and leash walking. Litter care: I have experience assisting with the care of pregnant dogs and their litters, including monitoring the mother's health, assisting with whelping, and ensuring the proper care and development of the puppies. I understand the dynamics of a multi-pet household and can effectively manage interactions between different species, ensuring a harmonious and safe environment for all. I am adept at observing animal behavior, identifying potential issues, and implementing appropriate solutions, such as addressing separation anxiety or destructive behaviors. Feel free to inquire on experience for special circumstances or special pet needs. I am able to give most attention Friday-Monday and provide more frequent bathroom breaks to pets (dogs). Tuesday-Thursday I have a more limited schedule and can only dedicate time early morning (6-830AM) and evening (after 4PM). Feedings and bathroom break must happen during those timeframes. I am open to caring for multiple pets from same household, but not from different households. I have a fenced yard and a friendly female Labrador that lives with me part-time. My partner and I have separate households and we share her care and quality time. My pet may not be in the home, but when she is present she does well with other dogs and is crate trained.

About: I am an experienced, reliable and dependable pet lover. I have grown up my whole life with animals. I recently had to put my senior pitbull down so my house is very quiet now. Pet care is my passion and currently my main source of income and work. I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am interested in walking, daily visits, or overnight boarding anytime of the week. Our home has a large fenced in yard, perfect for your pup to enjoy some fresh air, or bask in the sunshine. I can take your pet on walks or they can run around in the yard. Or we can snuggle up on the couch and get lots of belly rubs.

We had Nicholas care for our dog and four cats while we were away, including administering medication twice daily for one of our cats. Overall, he was reliable and made sure everyone was fed, cared for, and safe. We appreciated the photos and updates during visits. Our dog did get spooked during one walk due to a loud car and had a harder time going out after that, so more backyard time was used. There was an accident during one of the visits, which he handled and cleaned up, and we appreciated that. Overall, we’re grateful our pets were well cared for and would book again.
