“Coleen was caring, professional, and fast to respond. Our dogs absolutely adore her and were sad to see her leave. She easily managed 3 large dogs without issue. We had Coleen in-house sit them overnight for our big day and can't recommend her enough!”

“Katelyn was wonderful! She took excellent care of my pup, sent me regular updates and photos, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a house that was left in great condition. She was reliable, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her!”

About: Hi! My name is heather and I am a total dog and cat lover! No matter the breed, age or quirky personalities I love them all. I used to volunteer at a shelter in Iowa where I spent most of my time keeping the immuno-compromised cats and dogs company as they had to be isolated from the others in the shelter. Since then, I’ve trained my own dogs to be potty trained outside and be comfortable riding in cars. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 10 years. The longest I’ve cat sat was for 10 days and left a personal “journal” for the owners from the cats point of view. The longest I’ve dog sat was 7 days. I love walking dogs, The longer the walk the better so when mom and dad come home they are ready for all the cuddles. I'm bubbly and have been told I'm "high energy" so I love to play with animals but also know when it's time to just relax and be couch potatoes while watching Animal Planet. I've taken care of special needs dogs who are leash aggressive, I've worked with senior dogs who move a little more leisurely and I've worked with puppies - helping them get acclimated to walking with a leash and harness. I’m working full time as a physical therapist but am available to care for your loved furry friend Wednesdays and Fridays after 2:30. I am available Sundays after 1pm. I have a fenced back yard and my little guy loves to run around and chase leaves. Loves to sniff every twig. For my past clients I take their dogs for long walks in their neighborhood, sometimes run with them on lease if they have a ton of energy. I have the animal earn my trust first, put my hands out to sniff, allow them to approach me as I am a guest in their home. I love to lay on the floor with them, let them know I am a trusted friend.

“Joanna was great with our puppy! She gave her lots of walks, playtime, and kept great company. We had lots of updates with pictures and video to know how our dog was doing, and we were always able to reach out to her. Highly recommended!”

“Diane is always so thoughtful with Juni! We're very appreciative of all the care she gives her and how communicative she is with us throughout the stay. It puts our minds at ease.”

About: I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs—big, small, energetic, friendly, and even those who need a little extra patience and attention. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to adapt to whatever makes them feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’m even more experienced with cats, having grown up around them my entire life! I love getting to know each cat’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I also have experience administering insulin shots to cats and am comfortable following specific care routines and instructions. I currently have almost complete availability, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I'm very flexible. Reach out to me for scheduling. I'm used to many varying sets of rules from house to house when it comes to pets. Let me know where they should and shouldn't be and I'll make sure to keep to that!

“Mirella did great. Polite, punctual and sweet. I will definitely book again!”

“Leah did a fantastic job of keeping us updated on our fur babies. She kept our space clean, maintained good communication, and loved our pups! We are happy to have her again!”

Josh K.

“Malcomn is simply the best and we trust him over everyone. He takes the absolute best care of our pets and home. Our dog has some health issues and he was so attentive to her and communicative with us, we always know that when he’s there that they’re in the best care. He’s our go to guy every time. Couldn’t recommend more!”

Kelsey K.

“Katalina was great while watching our dog and cat! She was responsive and left our home spotless! Thank you for helping us get away for a few days… not easy to do with 3 kiddos these days. It was such a relief to not have to worry about the animals. I would def recommend her!”

Jenna G.

“Elijah was very communicative and kind regarding our two dogs who are not the most low maintenance pair. She asked a lot of questions during our meet and greet that showed how seriously she takes this job and left our home and our pets in great condition, we would highly recommend her!”

Kodi T.

“Chrissy is absolutely amazing. She stayed in our home for over two weeks and took incredible care of both our dog and our house. She treats our pup like he’s her own — full of love, patience, and attention. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a spotless house. She is trustworthy, responsible, and truly has a gift with animals. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a caregiver who goes above and beyond.”

Dominika B.

“Liz took absolutely wonderful care of our senior dog. We came home to a clean house and one happy pup. We hope she is available for our next trip!”

Danielle T.

“She did an amazing job and kept in touch with us while gone. We have a medium sized dog and a large sized dog and she was able to handle both of them.”

Dexter B.

“Nicholas was an incredible sitter for our elderly dog Stella. She requires a lot of extra gentle care, can’t see or hear well, & requires diaper chances multiple times a day. Nicholas handled everything with ease, sent us lots of updates and photos, & gave us incredible peace of mind on our trip!”

“Deftly and intuitively cared for my old pup at short notice. Couldn't have asked for a kinder person to leave her with. =)”

About: I live in Chicago’s Northwest just outside of O’hare with my 7 year old Boston Terrier-Boxer named Lilly, whom I’ve had since she was 7 weeks old. Before Lilly, I grew up with 2 dogs, both small and large, along with several cats and other pets. I have gone through professional dog training with all 3 of our dogs, most recently with my own puppy. I have always been a dog lover at heart and love taking care of pets. I have dog sat for several of my friends over the years, and I have taken care of dogs ranging from miniature pinschers to Great Danes. I believe in positive reinforcement training and never any punishment, physical harm or yelling. Currently I have open availability as I’m Working as a caregiver to a senior friend. I take all request/rules very seriously when responsible for others’ pets. I am able to travel up to about 5 miles via the CTA and if I have my car, I’m able to drive. I currently have open availability and I like to say I work 11-11, but can take on earlier clients as needed. I am usually running a little late, but I will try to be more punctual! My pets always have fresh water in a clean bowl, and clean food bowls typically fed twice a day with treats throughout. I learned that pets do better eating when you eat, so I’ve taken on that habit.

“Alexa was great! She gave my elderly dog medicine and lots (LOTS) of small, specially prepared meals as well as sending me pictures of those cats who deigned to come out and play.”
