About: I've been a lifelong animal lover, and I’ve always had pets growing up -- several cats, guinea pigs, fish -- so I’m really comfortable around animals. I also rode horses for a few years, which gave me good experience with larger, more unique animals. Last year in Alaska, I dog walked and cared for cats while their owners were away. I made sure they stayed happy and healthy with many walks, and kept in touch with the owners too, giving updates and adjusting routines as needed. As someone who’s very active and loves the outdoors, watching and walking dogs was a fun way to make a little extra money on the side and have a companion on my long walks! I do have a full-time job, but I’m looking for something on the side to help pay off student loans. I’m definitely an active person who enjoys a busy schedule, so I’m used to balancing multiple things at once and am confident I can handle both work and pet care without any issues. Every pet and owner is unique, and I’m here to listen and follow your lead on how you want your furry family member cared for. I’m flexible and adaptable, happy to do whatever makes you and your pet most comfortable!

“Mary was so great with Milo, especially for his first walk with Rover ? can tell she really has a passion for dogs and making sure they feel comfortable. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly walker/sitter!”


About: Well, I may not be the worlds best, but I sure try to be! Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to give their pets the care and love they deserve for years. I’m currently staying close to home to take care of my mother, so your pet will never be left alone. I will have time to walk or check up on your pets however often is needed as well. I like to make sure that your pet has a happy and safe time in my car. I pay great attention to detail in my care for animals and can follow any additional instructions. I have also had several different kinds of pets myself, so I have a wide experience with all kinds of pets.

“Elva always does such a nice job walking our dog. She is on time, gives us flexibility if we need to change days, or add walks. She is very easy to work with.”


About: Hi, I’m Vanessa! I’m currently in college but my family has been fostering dogs since I was in middle school, so I have experience with every kind of dog from 8-week puppies to older dogs to three legged ones! I currently have 2 rescues I help take care of and train, and love volunteering at animal shelters(Chicago Canine and Wright Way) in my free time, so I have a wide variety of experiences when it comes to caring for animals. Whether it be walking one dog or bathing a van load of puppies, I love spending time with all dogs!!!! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time for walks, check-ins, and overnight stays. I’m available during the weekdays and most weekends, and my schedule is very flexible. I have experience with basic dog training classes, and my two dogs are both crate trained so I can follow any dogs schedule, strict or relaxed, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable. I also love to play with them and help them get the physical and mental stimulation they need to be happy and healthy!

“Sata handled my two dogs like a true dog lover and professional. They are each over 100 pounds and she never doubted that she was the right dog walker for them. She took them on walks through wooded areas and I’m busy streets and kept them safe and engaged. The photos were wonderful to receive. The dogs were so happy with her. But no one was happy as I was. I finally found someone that I can trust with my giant dogs. Thank you so much Sara, I would recommend you and will recommend you to all my friends and family!”


“Paige was awesome! Great with communication and super flexible!! Ollie looked like he has the best time on his walk! We will definitely be a regular for walks with her!”


About: We have a secure backyard with a 6ft privacy fence which our furry guests can enjoy as much as they want. I will also walk them around the neighborhood. I have cared for four dogs and one cat over the past 30 years, giving me experience with various breeds, temperaments, and life stages. This hands-on experience has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of pet care, from providing a nurturing environment for puppies to offering comfort and attention to senior pets. ***Not boarding CATS at this time. I have free time between school drop-off and pick-up. Which is the perfect opportunity for me to get some exercise and I enjoy spending time with animals. I love walking and hanging out with cute pups or kitties, so it's a win-win! They can hang out in our secure, fenced yard as much as they want and can safely run around and get their zoomies out. On our walks, I’ll make sure they have plenty of time to sniff, take care of business, or just relax—whatever they need to feel happy and comfortable!

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: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, and even a bunny. I've had pets of all sizes and personalities and know how important it is to have someone you trust when you're away. Whether it's cuddles, playtime, or a relaxing walk, I treat every pet like my own. Let me give your furry friend the care and attention they deserve💜 I work from home most weekdays and have flexibility to pop in and spend some time with your fur babies or stay a few hours and work from your home. I can either go to your house and spend a few minutes or a few hours depending on you and your fur babies needs. Open to options

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is that I truly love what I do. I’m an active person who enjoys daily walks, so I not only get to stay fit, but I also make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and attention. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or an energetic run, I’ll tailor each walk to suit your pup’s needs while ensuring they’re happy, safe, and well-cared for. My passion for animals combined with my active lifestyle means your dog gets the best of both worlds! Pet care is a big part of my routine, especially since I have a dog who I spend all my time with when I’m not at college. Whenever I come home for the weekend, I make sure to dedicate as much time as possible to hanging out with him. I love taking him on walks and playing with him in my backyard. When caring for pet, I always treat them as if they were human. I believe in creating a calm, positive environment where they feel safe and valued. With new pets, I’m especially patient, knowing they might be hesitant to get to know me at first. I give them space and let them approach me on their own terms. Once they start to trust me, our bond grows, and they seem more relaxed and comfortable. I also make sure to take my dog on walks regularly and I allow him to sniff around. It’s important to me to respect their need for curiosity and give them time to enjoy their surroundings.
