“A piece of mind... that’s what Alma gives me when I’m working longs hours. She provides me great updates, adorable pictures, and is super flexible. Bentley and I truly love her! Thank you!!”
“Robyn is just awesome. She’s here on time, always excited to see my puppy, communicates if he’s doing well, tired, and best of all my pup is excited to see her. Great job!”
“Robin is literally the best walker in the world, bar none. She knows how to deal with my quirky pup and spent a lot of time getting to know him, using a slip lead, and bribing him with treats!! Whenever we see her out walking about he gets excited - I don’t think you can get higher praise than that!! She also REALLY knows dogs, and gives great advice about helping them if they’re sick. If I could rate her 10 stars I would.”
“Kimberly does a great job walking our energetic lab/rottweiler mix twice a week! She’s always on time, sends photos from the walk, and we can tell when we get home from work that our guy gets a good workout on his walks :)”
“Fanni is wonderful and I felt at ease when Chomper was in her care. She is communicative, responsible, and even braved walking up 13 flights of stairs when the elevator in my building was out. I am so appreciative of her time and would highly recommend her for any pet care needs!”
“Keeley was very nice and loving to our 85 pound dog. They got totally drenched on the walk unfortunately but Keeley took it in stride and remained positive. We enjoyed meeting her and will use her again.”
About: Hello there! My name is Alyssa Murphy, Aly for short. I myself, have been a dog owner of an adorable malti-pin named Cobi, for 9 years now. I have also owned two cats beforehand and raised abandoned kittens to health, ensuring they were going to proper homes that would appreciate and take care of them. How does this relate to you? Well, I will guarantee to be that same type of home I would of chose for those rescued kittens. That home-away-from-home for your pup, the home I would look for if I needed a dog sitter. No matter if he/she likes to jump around and play, or just likes to relax on the couch, I’m the girl for the job. Your pup will feel highly appreciated and taken care of at the end of the day, and so will you! Any inquires, please feel free to message. P.S. here’s my promo code :) : ALYSSM29530 *I also know how important it is to remain safe and clean during these times, I will make sure to clean and disinfect everything in my home your dog(s) will encounter.* I’m currently working full time and have part time classes online, so I have a few free days (Thursday afternoons, all day Fridays, Saturday nights and all day Sunday-Monday) to take care of your best friend! My house is always kept clean and tidy. Since I have a dog myself (that likes to get into things) there isn’t much left out for him to grab. I live on my own, so I can also adjust according to your pet. I’m always willing to play, walk, and give attention as much as needed/wanted!
About: I've had a dog in my life ever since I was 5, and I've taken care of my friends pets for even longer! I've also walked four dogs at once, and I'm very proud of that. I'm doing a vocational program around 3 times a week! I have a lot of time to take care of animals. I can even do walks between sessions. I have the space for a dog or a cat who needs a temporary home for a few days in a pinch. They'll be welcomed into a quiet apartment that currently has no pets.
About: Hi there! My name is Katherine and I look forward to meeting you and your furry loved ones! 🐰I’m a proud bunny mom to a 2-year-old holland lop, so I know how delicate and special rabbits are. I understand their unique needs—from diet to behavior and safety—and always provide gentle, attentive care. Rabbits have a special place in my heart, and I’d love to care for yours like one of my own. 🐱I volunteer regularly at a local animal shelter, where I help socialize cats—gently getting them used to people and giving them time to stretch, play, and feel safe outside their cages. For drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your kitty is fed, watered, litter box freshened, and, of course, spoiled with attention and play—whatever keeps those purrs going! 🐶I’ve also cared for small and medium-sized dogs, energetic puppies, and even a curious little ferret! Whether it’s a cuddle session, a walk around the block, or making sure meals and meds are on schedule, I’m here to keep tails wagging and paws happy. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I can accommodate multiple visits or walks throughout the day, depending on what works best for you and your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions closely and treat your home with respect. Whether it’s feeding, walks, litter care, or playtime, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and loved—and I’m always happy to share updates while you’re away!
“Rachel is wonderful, highly recommended! She is always available and flexible with scheduling, takes lots of extra time and will spoil your pup! We are so grateful for her.”

Whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply giving them attention, I always make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I’m currently not working full-time, so I have flexible availability throughout the week. I’m happy to care for pets during the day or evening, depending on your needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll be there to help! I provide a calm and safe environment with lots of love and attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, making sure each pet feels secure and cared for. I’m happy to care for pets in your home or mine, depending on what’s best for your furry friend.
About: Growing up I had ducks, goats, dogs, and the occasional stray cat to look after! I learned a lot during my youth when it came to taking care of animals of all different shapes and sizes. I have always been an animal lover and taking care of them brings me so much joy! I am currently a student at the Art Institute of Chicago. My schedule starting Aug. 25th will be more limited but for the time being I am completely available. Once my fall semester ends I will be available in the evenings, all day Monday, and throughout the weekend. I live in an apartment in Oak Park that has ample space for me and the three cats I live with. There should be no problem in housing an animal for a couple hours here and I have access to a back yard for potty breaks etc.
About: Hello! I love animals! I have two veterinarian parents that sparked my initial care for animals! I have had pets all my life. I started fostering for Capital Area Humane Society this year and it has been amazing! I foster all types of animals, including those with special needs. I have experience administering medications and rehab! I spend a lot of time either working from home/taking online classes. When I’m not fostering, I would love to help out with your pets! I have a great apartment. I have my own room and bathroom that allows me to focus on the animals in my own space. My apartment is right on a trail which allows me to take amazing walks in addition to campus! I can provide toys for both dogs and cats, beds for animals, and my own litter boxes and litter! As well as treats - if allowed!
About: I have always been surrounded by dogs - whether it is my two fur babies, a foster dog - including those with special needs - or our family dogs growing up, I have always surrounded myself with dogs. I am active with various rescue groups in DFW and truly believe dogs are apart of our family and deserve respect and care. My work schedule is flexible and I am always looking for an opportunity to get out of the house and stretch my legs. I would expect someone to prioritize my pets in their care, and hold myself to high standards to keep your pet on their schedule. You know your dog best so I would like clear guidelines of what needs to be done/what you would like do. I want to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable in my care.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child! I’ve always gravitated towards the animals in the room and friends and family have always relied on me to help take care of their pets, especially for vacations!

My specific time availability from Sept. 1st -December 1st: Monday\Tuesday evening check-ins and walks after 7, Wednesday check-ins and walks 2:30-3:15, can board because I have school at home - Thursday check-ins and walks between 3:15-5, I also have virtual school during the day. Friday: 12-5 I can Rover, house sit, check-in, walk, board. Saturday I have all day available and Sunday I am around as well. I can do my best to be as flexible as possible around school, especially if you’re close to me in oak park! I’m home during the day doing school work / virtual classes, so I have a lot of time to take walk breaks and play breaks. I’m an early riser and can accommodate for that too. And also around for the random “can you go check on” / “we’re going out to dinner can you do the evening walk” I’m here and flexible! - apartment complex is on a residential street in a suburban area, allows me to easily have access to green space including my apartment complex’s yard - my apartment is one level and has a porch

Alyssa M.
“As a fellow dog owner and lover, Alyssa always portrays the upmost responsibility and attentiveness in her care for animals. Whenever her dog, Cobi, is around new company she always prioritizes that he feels safe and comfortable, even with the difficulties that come with trusting foreign connections. In all the years that I have known Alyssa, whenever Cobi came down with an illness or infection, she immediately ensured Cobi received the proper care he needed, even if it meant cancelling work or sacrificing a day of classes. Alyssa's love for animals further extends to her multiple attempts to transition to a more vegan friendly diet despite her iron deficiency preventing her from making a full transition. I could honestly name an endless amount of reasons why Alyssa perfectly reflects the ideals of a loving dog caregiver and even more so, the ideals of an amazing human being.”
Max B.
“Max has been a greater pet-sitter for me and my social cat, Rue! Rue requires a specific feeding schedule, and Max was careful to follow through with it. He values understanding the details for how to best care for your specific pet, and he's great about sending pictures and updates throughout our time away. I'd recommend Max for anyone needing care for their furry companion!”
Jie "Katherine" W.
“Katherine is super caring, patient, and really pays attention to what each pet needs. She’s looked after everything from bunnies to dogs and cats, and always goes the extra mile to make sure they’re happy and comfortable.

She’s thoughtful, respectful, and incredibly detail-oriented, you can count on her to follow instructions closely and treat both your pets and your home with care. You can totally trust her with your furry family!”

Anyone would be lucky to put the care of their pet in Ryley’s hands.”

Mya G.
“Mya was great with my big dog. He’s about 85lb and can pull, but he walked well with them. I think he enjoyed having an engaged, excited walker with him, especially because they told me he was consistently taking 40 minute walks. That is really good for him! Overall I was very please having Mya as a walker and would recommend them to other folks who want a good walking experience for their dog.”

Robin was fantastic with our dogs. She’s patient, dependable, and clearly very experienced. I really appreciate the daily updates and photos she sends—it gives me peace of mind knowing our dogs are happy and well cared for. She’s flexible with scheduling and always goes the extra mile.
I booked Caroline for two weeks, and she was amazing. She communicated clearly every day, was incredibly kind and flexible, and handled my 70-pound, high-energy dog like a pro. He’s not easy to manage, but she never once complained. Just pure professionalism and kindness. It was such a relief knowing he was in great hands. Highly recommend!
Amanda was so kind and helpful with walking my 2 dogs while I was away. She was communicative and provided great feedback on how to help my dogs not pull on a leash. Amanda went above and beyond just walking and gave attention to our 3rd dog and refilled their water which was very helpful.
Basiea is amazing! This was the first time having someone we didn’t know help out with our dogs. We had great communication from the start. She was quick to respond and make me feel at ease. She sent lots of pictures of their walks and I know that my girls were in good hands. Will definitely be rebooking with her!
