About: Hello! My name is Monica and I’m 26 years old. I have lived with both cats and dogs my whole life. I work at an Animal Hospital and my passion is to care for animals. My dog (Akita) passed away a few years ago, he lived 14 long and incredible years and survived two cancers. I recently lost my cat of 16 years as well, she unfortunately had kidney failure and thyroid disease. I miss them every day. I currently have two rescued cats that mean the world to me. I would love to get the chance to meet and care for your pets. I believe this would help me feel fulfilled and bring some light back into my life. I have connections to vets and would make sure your baby is always safe. I have a heart filled with love ready to give to your little or big four legged family member. I work part time and have a love for animals. Working at the vet allows me to provide a healthy lifestyle for your pet. I am not ready to adopt my own dog just yet as I’m still grieving so being able to take care of your fur babies brings light back into my life! I live in a safe neighborhood and have a fenced yard with a few nearby parks. I have two very lovable cats, but I have a two story house and can easily separate the pets. I would love your pet just like my own.

About: 23 years of dedication & genuine love for what I do. I've pretty much done it all except for training. Primarily grooming but also have extensive experience with walking, boarding, day care, home/vacation visits & house sits. I've been a home groomer for the past 8 years but due to allergies, need to switch modes. Over those years I regularly attended workshops & seminars to continue to educate myself & hone my craft. Including certification courses in puppy handling, senior care, proper sanitization, business compliance, skin assessment, & CPR. This only means I have been educated on these subjects, I am not an expert. As mentioned, I was a home groomer so I'll be turning my grooming room into an area for daycare/boarding. I am home based and plan to stay that way. Pets in my home will have a designated area for eating & sleeping but will have freedom to walk about for the most part. I have a large, fenced back yard with plenty of space to run & play. The yard will be the primary potty area. Walks are available for an added charge. Caring for pets in the clients home will be based on the instructions given by owner.

About: Being a bunny owner, I take a very patient approach towards each animal I am caring for. I prefer to know their habits and quirks before I begin our journey of knowing each other. I pay very close attention to each animals body language and move forwards based on that. Growing up I was extremely obsessed with my families dogs and cats. My first pet was a grey cockatiel bird that I rescued, shortly after I got my first yellow lab. Ever since, I have been very involved in taking care of many of my family or friends pets while they are away. I have taken care of extremely small puppies, fish, birds, bunnies, and cats, to nervous, and anxious big labs ! I heavily enjoy spending time next to a furry creature and I even have a bunny of my own named Diva. She has been a very long lesson in attention to attitude when it comes to handling an animal. I am more than available during the day or night to take care of any animal, I do not have a current job so I am free during awkward hours. I make sure to follow the directions my clients have left for me, I often ask more information on the personality of the animal so I understand our boundaries !

“Collette is the greatest dog walker ever! When I was at work in the city, my pup Sonny started to have seizures and continued having seizures until I got back home. She stayed by his side the entire time. She is very compassionate and caring and has been helping me out with dog walking for almost a year now. She is truly the best! Thank you Collette for everything that you do for me.”

About: Hi, I’ve been taking care of Dogs and cats for over 40 yrs. I have always grown up with my pets I really do like cats and dogs there not a animal I don't like .Dogs and cats flock to me I know how to walk feed and give a bath oral and syringe medication and entertaining your fur baby. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to pamper your fur baby taking them on walks feeding playing cuddling talking to them. I have a house with a back yard I am very trustworthy, and I know a lot about animals ill treat your fur baby like my own.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. My love for animals comes from raising my own dogs, especially my sweet girl, Roxi, whom I was fortunate to have from the time she was a puppy until she crossed the Rainbow Bridge in February 2026 at 15 years old. Caring for her through every stage of life gave me firsthand experience with senior dog care, medication schedules, mobility assistance, and the extra patience, compassion, and love that aging pets deserve. I'm comfortable maintaining feeding routines, administering oral medications, providing potty breaks, and recognizing when a dog's behavior or health seems out of the ordinary. I understand that every dog has a different personality, energy level, and comfort needs, and I adapt my care to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved. For puppies, I'm happy to reinforce the training and routines you're already working on, including crate training, potty schedules, basic commands, and positive reinforcement. I know consistency is important, and I'll follow your instructions to help keep your puppy on track. You'll also receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, comfortable, and in caring hands. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I work a hybrid full-time position, which allows me flexibility throughout the week. I carefully manage my calendar and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to, ensuring every pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it's morning walks, evening visits, overnight stays, or weekend care, I plan my schedule around each pet's needs. I believe reliability and consistency are just as important as love and affection, so I make it a priority to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, they’ve always held a special place in my heart. From dogs and cats to horses and more, I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, explore, or simply enjoys calm company, I’ll care for them with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own fur babies! As a licensed esthetician, I create my own schedule & have the flexibility to work around your pet’s routine, making scheduling stress free for both of us. You can count on me to be dependable, respectful of your home, and to keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving, capable hands. Pet care has always been a natural part of my day to day routine because I’ve grown up around animals & have cared for pets for majority of my life. I work part time as an esthetician, meaning I can create my own schedule, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for walks, visits, & overnight stays! The pet’s safety, comfort, & routine would be my highest priorities. I like to take the time to learn each pet’s personality, feeding schedule, medications, favorite activities, etc so they feel secure and cared for. I have experience being around cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every animal has different comfort zones and boundaries. Whether your pet is shy, playful, independent, or needs extra patience, I always respect their pace. I’ll l keep your home clean, follow your instructions carefully, & provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your furry family members are doing.🐾

About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attention, and care I bring to every pet I watch. I have dogs of my own, including one I’ve had since I was in 5th grade, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. He is my priority, and I make sure he gets his daily walks, plenty of attention, and the care he deserves, specially since he is now a senior doggy. I also have a 2-year-old dog, so I’m experienced with younger, more energetic dogs as well. Having dogs at different stages of life has taught me how important consistency, exercise, patience, and companionship are for pets. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always treat every pet like they’re my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m flexible with my schedule, I’m willing to make time out of my schedule to work with you and your needs, but afternoons are preferable for me! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and sticking to their normal routine as much as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, get plenty of exercise and attention, and feel loved while their owners are away. For dogs, I provide daily walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of companionship. Since I have dogs of my own, including a senior dog and a younger 2-year-old dog, I understand how different each dog’s energy level and needs can be. I’m comfortable caring for both active dogs that need extra exercise and older dogs that may need a slower pace and more patience. In a client’s home, I always respect the pet’s routine and environment to help reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I also keep the home clean, follow all care instructions carefully, and provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well. My goal is always to make pets feel cared for, relaxed, and happy while giving owners peace of mind.

About: Hi! Im Cailey. Im a sophomore in college studying to become a veterinarian. I previously worked at a pet hotel for two years as a daycare attendant, groomer, and reactive dog handler. I am comfortable with breeds of all sizes and temperaments. While working at the pet hotel I was also trained on how to administer various medications both oral and injection, and I was trained in pet cpr and how to read the body language of a dog. I have three large breed dogs of my own, two of which I took to professional trainers and my most recent rescue I trained myself. I am not a professional trainer but I am quite educated on the subject! Please reach out for any grooming, pet care, or training inquires! Thank you. My dogs wake me up every morning around 7-8 to go potty and for breakfast. I take one or two of my dogs each morning to run with me. I live right next to a park we usually do two laps of. After then my dogs pretty much entertain each other until dinner time. In other peoples homes I treat them as if they were my own! Well talk everything over in person of course but just leave me detailed instructions and I will do my best to follow them to a T!

“Ashlee is a gem of a pet caretaker. She is an excellent communicator and super dependable. Will definitely be having her take care of my pets in the future. 11/10”

“Hector was really great at communicating with everything that was going on during the visit. Sensed both hector and Pabu were both nervous about meeting so the first walk did not go smoothly as the walk had to end early due to my puppy showing signs of fear in terms of biting. Hopefully in the future once my puppy gets used to make presence without me things will go better.”

About: Ready to work hard and safe to take good care of your four-legged best friend! At your service for walks, sitting, driving to appointments, and any other basic pet care! I've been hired my neighbors, relatives, and family friends before to house sit/ pet sit. I think it's important to be careful and respectful at all times, to report any issues immediately, and treat the pet with the kindness and fun they usually receive from their owner! My family has previously kept a dog, geckos, a chameleon, fish, a rabbit,and a bird. My hobbies include chess, bowling, music and concerts, hiking and running. I'm located in the near-west suburbs but I have my own car so I'm happy to go anywhere around Chicagoland! Take care! currently working a flex position at Camp McKean for community and outdoor recreation. off all day on Sundays Mondays and Tuesdays. Rest of the week I could dog sit before or after work. Early morning or evening. I will always top off a pet's water bowl, take an inventory of supplies like poop bags, toys, where food is, etc. with Rover gigs before I've taken pictures and videos for the client to let them know how everything's going 😀

About: I have always had dogs growing up and I currently have my own dog who is 2 years old. I love caring for my pets, spending time with them, and seeing them happy! I recently just graduated college and am not working because I am studying to take my exam to be licensed as a nurse! I have plenty of free time and want to fill some of that time spending it with your cute dog(s)! I have a fenced-in yard that my dogs love running around in. I also make sure to take my own dog out for walks early in the morning or later at night so she does not overheat in this heat.
