About: My life is centered around cats and dogs. I currently run and host an independent catch shelter from home. We have a completely separate unit to host on board Your cat or dog at any given time. We also count with a fenced in yard. Where they get to hang out and play on beautiful days. I eat, live, breathe pet care. It's what I do on a daily basis with over fifty one cats and three dogs in our facility, that is truly what I am passionate about. And do it all day. Besides having a fenced in yard, every part of our space has their safety and security in mind, Above all. From protocols in place to introduce New pets to the space so they can be comfortable, to separate spaces that accommodate your pets away from the rest of the population and systems to ensure the pets wellbeing above all.

About: I've worked with animals of all temperaments. Shy or nervous rescue dogs are no problem! Big or small, high or low energy, timid, giant breeds, counter surfers, etc. I never stop learning about dogs so you rest assured knowing you have one of the best looking after your pets. I can ensure the best possible experience. I employ what I describe as the perfect balance of a dog being in a home setting it's used to while also having the security on the individual dog level to live their best lives. During the day the dogs get as much play time as you prefer and the weather will allow. I will also make sure your pets are fulfilled mentally and physically each day. I try to mimic their home routine as much as possible so that your pet can feel safe and secure in their own space. I go above and beyond to make sure every dog enjoys their day in the safest possible manner. I have multiple repeat clients who will tell their dog, "Do you wanna go with Anthony?!?" and their dog will go into wiggly happy mode. Many will run right into my arms when I arrive because they truly love me. They have someone who understands their nature and fulfills their needs. I also have a calming presence and try to make sure there isn't that high energy that amps up the dogs and makes them nervous or on guard.

“Absolutely awesome! I’m excited to have met her, and she’s so responsible and good with my two dogs. You know you find the “right one” when they ask good questions, and communicate well with you!! Highly recommend!!”

About: I’m great with communication and patience. I have experience taking care of small-big dogs for years whether it be for family members, my own and to even taking care of a bearded dragon for a few months for school. Nonetheless I do my research beforehand and offer a safe space for your pet with lots of room and privacy I currently work part time and do online school at my own pace. I’m free all week Monday-Sunday mornings-mid day. Late afternoons I take night shifts 3 days out of the week, but for the most part I am free. Communication is very much appreciated I live in an open spaced floor, so it shouldnt be an issue with roaming around . As I’ve mentioned, I have a gray female tabby(spayed) and a male golden retriever(not fixed).No matter the size my dog is open to playing and enjoys the company of other dogs but if you’d like me to crate or separate by any means, I am able to provide that. Only you know your pet/s best so I’m able to provide any adjustments you’ll need for them and their safety

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and compassionate pet caregiver with hands-on experience fostering pets for years.

I am currently working from home so I’m free all day throughout the week. I have a puppy that I’m house training so bathroom breaks are frequent. I also go on runs so high energy dogs are welcome to join along but couch potatoes get their love too. I have a fenced in yard for the dogs to play in and there is plenty of space for crates for decompression time and lots of space inside to roam around!

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog and cat for 7 years and before then was the go to sitter for all my friends with pets! I’m also a PhD student in psychology working in animal behaviors. Since young, I understand animals and respect them: how we treat them influences their behaviors. I’ve got the heart and the training to give your babies the best care they deserve when you are away! My schedule is flexible as long as we communicate in advance. Mornings work the best at the moment but let me know what you need I’ll try to make it work :) I have a comfy apartment with one dog and one cat. They’ll keep your baby company if you board with us. I’m skilled in introducing new animals to each other, I try to adjust to each animals temperaments. On other visits I try to get to your babies first as well, and of course your tips are always appreciated as you know them the best!

“Cristian is great! We needed some help with lunchtime walks 3x a week for a couple months after a foot surgery, and we feel so lucky to have found Cristian. He is super communicative, took great pics every visit, and wrote up thorough notes about our girl. He is super patient with our high energy girl, and would even jog with her on some days to tire her out! We highly recommend Cristian and will definitely be reaching out to him in the future when we need a dogwalker!”

About: I am an educator by training. I am looking for extra work during the summer and school year away from the classroom. I dog and cat sat and dog walked throughout college for four years. I cared for a 15-year-old labrapoodle and I cared for a 7-year-old bordie collie for a combined 5 years. I took them on daily walks, fed them according to a strict meal regimen, and made sure they were safe. The 15-year-old dog had health issues so I have experience in responding to health crisis with elderly dogs and know how to respond in case of an emergency. I am willing to commute, but have limited availability with overnight visits as I have a 19 month old and 7 month old at home.I also have experience with cats! I personally have four cats (ages 2,2, 2, and 4) who I love dearly. I’m able to administer medicine, feed, and care for all breeds and ages of cats. Generally, I do have a full-time job so pet care is part time for me. I’m saving to buy a house and go on a trip so I’m really looking for extra income. Work takes up my time during the day, but I’m available in the evenings and weekends for pet sitting. I’m also available during holidays and the summer. As of 12/2/25: I am currently not working so I have open availability. I have cats so animals need to be friendly with cats. We dog sat for a few weeks and my cats were friendly with the dogs. If the animals must stay with me, I prefer cats as my schedule makes dog walking from my home challenging. I can do drop ins!

“We have been using Jacob for the past few months and he is very reliable. He is responsive and shows up on short notice if we are in a jam. Our dog seems happy when we get home and we always get a photo of their time together. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I bring a calm, attentive "dog auntie" energy to pet care. I spend several months caring for my sister's dog full-time, including daily walks, drop-ins, and making sure routines stayed consistent while she was away. That experience taught me hose important patients, attention, and reliability are for both pets and their owners. I'm also a big city girl who understands how to keep dogs safe and comfortable in an urban environment. Walks area walks attentive, leashes stay secure, and I stay aware of surroundings so pets pet calm and confident. I naturally stay active (10,000 steps a day is the goal - matcha included), so energetic pups get great walks and stimulation. At the same time, I'm just as happy slowing things down for pets who prefer relaxing, gentle attention, or quiet companionship. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe, engaged, and care for like they're spending time with their favorite aunt! I bring a strong "dog auntie energy" to pet care, everyone is safe, everyone is loved, fun is required, and yes.... a matcha or latte is usually in hand. I spent several months caring for my sister's dog, so I understand how important consistency and attention are when someone trusts you with their pup. They say 10,000 steps brings you closer to better health and hotness. Why not bring my fur nieces and nephews along?! I'm talking real walks, and plenty of stimulation. I'm familiar with multiple Chicago neighborhoods, parks, and routes so new smells and boredom aren't really an issue. Some pups want adventure. Some want a chill stroll and affection. Think of it as your dog hanging with their favorite auntie for a while. As a big city girl I know a thing or two about safety. During walks, I stay aware of surroundings, use secure leashing practices, and make sure pets feel calm and confident. In your home, I treat the space like my own, with respect. Following your instructions regarding doors, gates, and entry points is a priority. Expect super cute photo updates and short messages. How else will you know if your family member is safe, comfortable, and loved?!
