Dog Sitting in Oak Lawn

“Danielle was great with Monarch. She took really good care of him, all of our instructions and showed up for every visit. I know that sounds basic but it is huge. We will definitely use Danielle again and can’t thank her enough.”

“Kailey did a great job caring for both of our kitties! She followed all of our care instructions. She was proactive in her communication. Will book again!”

About: I treat every pup like my own. If your dog isn't napping or resting, we'll be active and engaged. That may include playing with their favorite toy, going on a walk, or getting plenty of belly rubs and pats. I believe dogs thrive on love, attention, and activity. Therefore, I make sure they're never bored or lonely. I'm currently a student at UIC with one class online and one class in person. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me plenty time for walks, drop-ins and overnight care. Your dogs safety and comfort are my top priorities. On walks, I let your pep lead the way so they can explore at their own pace. I love finding nearby parks where they can burn energy. It I'm caring for a pet in your home, I'll always follow your instructions closely to maintain their normal routine.

“Mark was reliable and communicated daily. He took great care of three cats seven days in a row! We were thrilled with his attention to our cats. He sent pictures daily.”

About: I've been an animal lover since a young age and started pet sitting at around 11 years old for friends and family. Growing up, my family has always had dogs and I was lucky enough to rescue a dog of my own, Finnegan. My family and I were also able to foster some dogs with a Great Pyrenees rescue. I currently work at a dog daycare and boarding facility as the Daycare Team Leader and have been there for almost 4 years. Because of this experience, I am certified in pet CPR and first aid. I have taken care of dogs from a wide range of breeds, size and ages with different needs so things like medications and specialized feedings are nothing new to me. I currently have a job at a dog daycare and boarding facility, so I’m generally open in the mornings and early afternoon on Mondays and Wednesdays. On Fridays I’m only open in the mornings. And on Tuesdays and Thursdays I am only open in the afternoon/evenings. I have a dog of my own too, so pet care is already a daily routine for me. And because I work with dogs at my job, caring for them comes natural and I love to be around them. I was raised with the saying "leave the location better than when you got there," so cleaning up and keeping things neat is a habit of mine. Every pet is different and each has their own routine, so my goal to to try and help keep that routine for your pet. I am experienced in adjusting to different situations and adapting to fit each pets needs to be able to properly care for them.

About: I love dogs and cats, all animals really. I have had my dog for 5 years, I trained her since she was 8 weeks. I am very hardworking and punctual. I will give ur pup love and attention and any guidance needed :) Pet care is my priority everyday as a pet owner, and it would be my top priority to treat others pets with utmost care and provide any services needed. I have a large house and a big backyard. I also love taking walks and I always take my furbaby with me. I have a small 10 pound dog. She is shy and well behaved, mostly sleeps but loves to play. Good with dogs or cats.

About: Hi! I'm looking for new wonderful pets to walk and take care of! I have taken in four rescues, all with different special physical and behavioral needs. I currently have two Pitbull mixes, one Lab mix, and a multiple tropical aquariums! Caring for animals has been a passion of mine since I was young. A favorite activity of mine is taking my dogs to local forest preserves where they can play and exert their energy. I can administer eye drops, pills, and ointments to pets as my own have different medications that they need on a regular basis. I have also taken classes in care for companion animals. Special needs animals have a forever place in my heart because I believe that every pup or cat deserves to enjoy life to the fullest! Whether that is hiking at a trail, swimming in a lake, or curling up on the couch- I'd love to help them do that! Currently very open for scheduling. Stays for over a week will have to be discussed as I do have to ensure time to take care of my own animals. I do not host animals in my own home, but I am adaptable to a variety of routines and activities you and your pet would enjoy.

About: Over the years, I’ve found myself drawn to caring for animals in small but meaningful ways. Whether it’s walking or playing with a family member’s energetic dog or simply offering companionship, I’ve always found fulfillment in their presence.What I may lack in professional dog care experience, I make up for with genuine attentiveness, patience, and affection. I understand how important it is to build trust with pets and their humans, and I’m committed to creating a safe, loving environment for your pets. As someone who’s cared for my aunt’s cats—including administering medication and tuning in to their unique personalities—I bring that same level of thoughtfulness and care to my work with dogs. As someone who works from home full-time, I have a flexible schedule and the freedom to work from just about anywhere—making it easy for me to prioritize your pet’s care. Whether it's a mid-day walk, potty break, or weekend with the owner's out of town, I can be present and attentive to assist you in caring for your pet's needs. Work with my schedule and I can work with your's. When providing services in your home, I will treat your space with the same respect and care I give your pets. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable with someone entering your home, and I take that trust seriously. With a patient, compassionate approach, I aim to create a calm and safe environment where your pet can feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for. As well as ensuring that the guidelines you provide are followed.

“It was our first time leaving Daisy with someone, and the experience couldn't have been more amazing. Jimmy kept us updated the whole trip, with photos and videos, but most importantly, he took care of her. We gave him a nervous dog, and we received a peaceful and loved dog back. He did an amazing job and I highly recommend him.”

About: I have taken care of my dog Daisy, who is 12 years old and needs help everyday. I have also watched family members dogs for weeks at a time so I am experienced with that. I am currently working part time so I’m quite available. I’m looking to pick up some work to prepare me for the upcoming school year! I have a fenced in yard with lots of room to play. I prefer to do dog walking because I have a dog of my own at home.

“I was able to find Jennifer quickly on the Rover app. I chose her by her profile and her close proximity to where I live. She responded very quickly to our request thru the app. She came for a short visit so we and our doberman could meet her. I wanted her also to feel comfortable with our large dog. We needed someone to come a couple of days around midday to fed, potty, walk and play our very active 8 month old 60 lb dog. We had her come for an hour each day. It was also the first time we were leaving her all day. Jennifer did exactly what was asked and says she looks forward to helping us out again. I know we will use her in the future.”

“Tara really helped us out by taking care of Monarch when our normal sitter was unavailable and we had a funeral to attend to. Monarch gets a little anxious and jumpy with new people but Tara didn’t give up on him and eventually won him over. Tara took good care of Monarch.”

About: Growing up, I’ve always been a fond of animals and believe they deserve the same love and affection they provide us! Although I have more hands-on experience with cats, I grew up with friends who had dogs of all sizes and commonly walked or reinforced their good behavior. I’m currently working full-time on the weekdays, but I am available in the evenings and weekends to tend to your furry babies with love and comfort :) There is plenty of space to go on walks, run around, and have fun during playtime. Our neighborhood is safe and sound with friendly families and kids!

“Megan was wonderful dealing with my 3 cats with VERY different personalities. She wven thought to move a food dish under a table where the shy old cat was hiding. It is such a relief to know that there is acaring person to take care of my cats when I travel.”

About: Dogs have always been a central part of my life. I grew up in a household where we raised two or three dogs at a time, because every dog deserves a playmate and a loving home. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful, energetic puppies who need lots of attention and exercise to slower-moving, senior dogs who need a little extra support and patience. I have hands-on experience with potty training and have helped multiple puppies build consistent routines with great success. I also understand the special needs of senior dogs, from administering medication to handling mobility issues to simply offering them gentle, attentive companionship. Structure and safety are important to me because much like us humans, dogs rely on their own instinctive, internal clocks to successfully function from day-to-day. Whether it‘s a dog’s precise feeding schedule, typical potty break times, or proper amount of exercise each day, I strive to follow along as close as possible to standard schedules and protocols so that dogs can feel that sense of normalcy, routine, and ease while owners are away. I am committed to giving each and every dog the same love, comfort, and attention they’d get from their dog-parent! My schedule is wide open for the most part right now! I am available weekdays and weekends since I just graduated from college this past May and would absolutely ove to meet you and your fur-baby/babies!! **Important disclaimer in regards to daycare service: - I have 3 of my own dogs at my house which can already be a little crazy, if you could imagine! For this reason, I do daycare in my clients’ homes instead, which most people don’t seem to mind and actually prefer! Whenever I am caretaking a new dog/dogs, I always like to clarify protocols in regards to meals, potty breaks, play-time, etc. with the owner because everyone "dog-parents" a little bit differently!

About: I’ve owned animals all my life. I am just starting to help others. I’m at a stage in my life where this would work good for me and I’m sure for you. I am currently working for myself part time so I can always make plenty of time for your animals. I can come for play and a potty break, a walk or I can stay as long as needed. I will stay with your pet during a potty break and play time. I will keep your pets leashed and safe during walks. I can even stay the night to ensure safety.
