Abigail did a great job with our June! She stayed the full hour and took lots of photos for us. We felt confident while away from home knowing she would be there with June

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs since they were puppies with our family dog just turning 10 and my own dog just turning 2. I also was very involved in their training and walk them regularly. Additionally, I have dog-sat before for many friends so I am experience taking care of other breeds of dogs besides my own. I am a current medical student that is on summer break so I have good flexibility most days. Weekends and evenings are usually easier but as long as there is some notice I can usually make it work. I am flexible when it comes to watching other pets. I know how important having a stable environment is for pets and so I am able to travel to wherever to make that possible when dog-sitting or walking.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I would care for my neighbors animals when they were out of town. I’ve always loved dogs and have a 7 yr old Labradoodle, Max, that I rescued when he was a four month old puppy. He had escaped from his original owners and was missing for two days. When the police found him, he had been run over by a car. They couldn’t save his leg so he’s a tripod. He doesn’t even know he’s missing a leg. Max loves walks, water, and playing with his best doodle friend, Molly. I also have a lot of experience administering insulin shots for dogs. I would love to care for your fur babies the way I care for mine. I am semi retired and my time is very flexible. I’m available for daily walks or pet sitting. I’ll care for your fur baby exact same way I care for mine. My dog Max is living his best life with me. He receives lots of love, walks, snuggles, and playtime. I would give your dogs the same care and affection.

About: I have taken care of my neighbors dogs and cats since I was 13 when requested. I can walk, feed, and play with dogs or cats for 30 min to 1 hour if needed. I work in Northbrook on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. My hours are 9 am to 4 pm with an hour lunch break from 12 to 1. I’m looking for someone that needs extra help caring for a pet during these days, I’m available before work, right after work, or on my lunch break. I am very gently, loving, and cautious when caring for other people’s pets. I have no problem accommodating/adjusting my care to meet pets’ specific needs.

Maria is fantastic. I was worried when I moved to the suburbs about finding someone who would give my kitties the kind of love and care they are used to. Maria goes above and beyond! My kittens actually look forward to the suitcase coming out because they know Maria is coming!

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I have a 5 year old lab mix that is my obsession. My close friends rely on my to watch their dogs when they go out of town. I work fully remote from my home where I have plenty of time to give love and attention to dogs. I take my pup out a few times through the day. I live in a townhome with plenty of space for your dog to feel comfortable. I have plenty of toys to play with. There is a dog park in my complex and there is a walking trail right near my place if your dog prefers a longer walk.

Stephen and Donna did an excellent job walking our Great Pyrenees mix several times over a few weeks. You could feel their love for dogs from the moment we met them and they were very communicative and kind throughout the whole process. Our boy enjoyed and looked forward to his walks with them and we would definitely recommend and use their services in the future.

About: I love dogs and cats! I have worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility. I have two large-medium dogs and a cat in my family. I have dog sat many times for friends, family, and for those I was babysitting for. I’m currently not working since I am a college student on break! I have tons of free time and what better way to spend it than hanging out with dogs and cats! I am free everyday and at anytime! I accept last minute requests! I unfortunately cannot board your dog/cat at my home. At your home, I would carefully keep an eye on your pet, feed it, pet it, cuddle with it, let it out for potty breaks, and spend most of my day if not the whole day if needed with your pet!

About: We've had dogs and cats in our family for years and miss hearing the patter of paws! We treat our pets well and enjoy playtimes and grooming dogs. Either my son or I are home to be with your pet. I work part time and my son is here when I work. He is working on his master's in business and loves to walk and play with the dogs. We do not have any pets of our own at present. This is a pet friendly home and yard on a quiet cul de sac. We dog sit other family members pets at time. Dogs are welcome in most rooms of the house.

Thanks again, Anna, for the fantastic care you provided to Henrik. It was especially great of you to get him some more baby food. He is doing pretty well; has good days and not so good days but on the not so good days, he will eat the baby food and it seems to help him regain his strength. He's enjoying his routine of meowing for breakfast and attention, then later in day looking for good nap spots and eating some of his cat food. He's approaching age 18.

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was young, starting with my neighbor's Old English Sheepdog. Today, I'm the go-to sitter my sister relies on to care for her little fluffball, whether it's for an evening away or extended vacations. I'm comfortable providing consistent, attentive care for every pet -- and following your every instruction to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you're away. I currently work a flexible, non-traditional schedule that includes fantasy illustration projects and teaching art classes. This gives me built-in gaps during the day that I'd love to fill with dog care, whether that means walks, playtime, or multi-day companionship. Your dog's routine and well-being are my top priorities. I make sure that your dog gets the best care possible and will follow all instructions to the letter: setting phone alarms to ensure potty breaks and meals happen right on time, monitoring treats so your dog is neither over- nor under-indulged, and sticking closely to established sleep schedules. I'm equally respectful of your home, taking care to leave it as clean and orderly (or better) than when I arrived.

I’ve been using Amy for a month now to let my dogs out midday. Not only does she keep an eye out on odd behavior from any of them, she’s even picked up how much one of my dogs loves alone time and gives her that extra attention. It is much appreciated knowing my dogs are being cared for each on an individual basis!
