About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Growing up I was around breeds such as Labradors, Cocker Spaniels, Chows, German Shepards, Poodles and Lhasa Apsos. The first time I became a dog mom was to Zoe, a Bichon Frise. I lived in Chicago at the time in an apartment so I had to walk her multiple times a day. Bichons also need a lot of maintenance with their fur, so I’m very familiar with grooming methods of that type of breed. After Zoe, I became a dog mom to a Pit Bull/German Shepherd puppy, Garner. I got him when he was 8 weeks old and had him for 13.5 years. I understand the level of care a puppy needs as well as a senior dog. I’m also very familiar with handling large breeds on a leash. I understand how a pet is part of the family and I will show your dog lots of love and affection, just like I would my own. I am available Monday-Friday 8am-2pm then from 6pm-8pm. I’m available 7am-10pm on Saturday and Sunday. Please contact me if you need help outside of those times and I can try to work with you. I’m not able to keep your dog in my home, but I will always make sure your dog is safe in your home. I will always follow your safety protocols.

“I recently adopted Tucker and he is very shy around new people. Before the first walk, Shannon took the time to sit with him and get Tucker comfortable with her. After that, he looked forward to the daily walk. I will definitely use Shannon again.”

About: I've had pets my whole life and love them all. I currently have 2 dogs, a cat, 5 chickens, a lizard and a fish. I am a nurse by training and have successfully cared for sick animals at home many times. I have cared for friends dogs for many years and would be happy to love on yours! I am currently not working outside the home so I am available almost anytime. I am happy to meet yours and your pet's needs! I will be happy to follow all directions you give me for caring for your pet. I know how important that is when I leave my own pets with others!

About: I have taken care of dogs and other kinds of pets since I was 14. My family and friends rely on me to come check in, walk, and play with their pets. I am available anytime during the day this summer. I do have a couple vacations already planned but I will communicate if something conflicts with the care you need for your pets! I have a fenced yard and 4 pugs that love to run around! My pets have plenty of toys they love to play with and they get fed twice a day. My cat also has plenty of toys and scratching posts, he also gets fed twice a day.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve volunteered with shelters and own three of my own for the last 10 years. I’m currently working from home and hoping to get out of the house for a bit by doing drop in visits or dog walks. I’m available to board dogs as well so long as any furry guest gets along with the dogs already in the house. I’m comfortable administering medication so long as instructions are given. I’m certified in canine CPR. Im happy to cater to the needs of your dog and follow any instructions you provide. As im working from home, im available nearly all the time except for a few virtual meetings during the week. Our normal routine is a short walk in the morning, they hang out with me while I work, maybe a walk or a game at lunch, more work from home, then free in the evening for movie nights/parks/bite to eat somewhere dog friendly. I have a fenced yard with a doggy door to the back. I have also converted my office into a dog room with space for extra crate if that’s what is preferred. Animals are allowed on furniture at the owners discretion. I recognize all owners do things a bit differently and I know how worrisome it can be to leave them with a stranger so I want to put your mind at ease by conforming my care to how you prefer.

About: I am a lifelong l lover of all animals. As a kid I had dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and fish. As often as I could be, I was outside looking for all types of animals and exploring nature. Currently I have 3 dogs, a cat, and 2 beautiful little girls. One of my dogs is diabetic and I have to administer insulin daily. I have a lot of experience caring for many animals with different dietary and health needs. Right now, I am a stay at home dad. My wife is off work for the Summer, so I will have time available to help care for your pets. My children will also be starting pre-school in the Fall so I will have plenty of time available for pet visits. I am very detail oriented, and will make sure I care for your pets how you prefer, and follow your instructions to the best of my ability. I currently have two daughters in elementary school. I drop-off and pickup every day from school. I am available while they are in school (approx. 8:00AM-2:00PM) and may have availability later in the afternoon some days. I am available for any drop-in visits at client's home (including walking, feeding, and other routine pet care) but, am not caring for pets at my home at this time.

About: I was raised with a variety of cats and dogs for 25 years, volunteered in a shelter while I was in school, and helped with herpetological demonstrations and assisted with their care. The last few years I have had further opportunity to care for coworkers' pets as I house sat for fellow nurses traveling . I have sat for everything from dogs and cats to lizards, snakes, fish, rabbits, even horses, pigs, goats, and chickens. I work as a nurse full time which allows me a relatively flexible schedule for drop in visits over the weekdays and and stretches of time off for longer stays. Flexibility is my motto; I am able to drop by for walks or let them out into the yard if there's fencing, all depending on your preference. I can free feed or work off a schedule, ect. I have worked with everyone from those asking me to just stop by to check the house and take in mail, no pets involved, to another asking for overnight stays with an anxious rescue on a feeding regimen and medication requirements.

About: I love animals especially dogs! I regularly volunteer at a dog shelter, have owned dogs my whole life, and believe every dog deserves to have the best day ever! I am available for walks, taking them to the park, playing fetch, or coming into your home for visits. I’m currently in between jobs so I have lots of time to spend with your pet! If you need walks daily or vacation I’m your girl I make sure the pets I’m caring for are safe, have water and food, activity, and a comfy place to sit, I am willing to follow your instructions

About: I have had pets my whole life growing up. Now I have my own doggies and have trained them since they were puppies! I have the personal skills and previous experience to give both you and your dog a good experience! I want to help ease the stress of “what to do with the pets” during vacations, work outings, etc! I would love to host your pets at my house with a fenced in yard and other dogs to play with! I also can do drop in visits! Guaranteed your dogs will be ready for a nap after coming to my house and playing outside! I have a fenced in yard where the dogs can run around! I also have two other dogs in my house and they love playing with other dogs as they are very energetic!

“Very thoughtful and conscientious. Excellent communication. Super kind with the dogs.”

About: While my primary experience comes from caring for my own dogs, I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize trust, communication, and dependable care. I am a stay-at-home mom and dedicated dog lover. I have two Goldendoodles of my own, and daily walks are already part of my routine. Walking is my favorite form of exercise, so offering dog-walking services felt like a perfect fit. I treat every dog as if they were my own, with patience, care, and attention to their individual needs. Whether your dog prefers a brisk walk or a slower, relaxed pace, I'm happy to tailor each walk to what makes them most comfortable. Because I'm home during the day, I have flexible availability and can give your dog my full attention. You can expect reliable communication, sate walks, and a loving approach every time. I focus on safety, consistency, and following your dog's routine. I use secure leashes, practice safe entry and exit, choose appropriate walking routes, and closely monitor your dog's comfort. I respect your home and provide clear communication and updates.
