About: I’ve cared for 7 dogs and 2 cats throughout their full life span, from puppyhood and kittenhood to senior years, including pets with special senior care needs. I’m confident handling large dogs and focus on structured walks, mental stimulation, and enriching playtime. As a psychotherapist, patience, intuition, and compassionate care come naturally to me. My schedule is very flexible I'm currently part time and work from home. I can be available on notice from 9am-10pm. I am able to do daily and weekly care/walking/play. I have a fenced yard. Two cats who are used to visitors and other animals. I can also crate animal if requested, use baby fence and adapt to living requirements specific to client needs.

“Ray was friendly, responsive, and great with our two larger dogs. You can tell he really loves animals. Would recommend him for your dog walking needs”

About: As a proud pet owner myself, I know that our animals aren't just pets—they are cherished members of the family. I take immense pride and honor in providing the highest level of care, backed by decades of hands-on experience. My background includes over 15 years of experience working with German Shepherd/Sheep Herd dogs, understanding their unique loyalty, energy, and intelligence. Additionally, I have 28 years of dedicated experience caring for felines—both male and female indoor cats—giving me a deep understanding of their diverse personalities, needs, and behaviors. When your pets are with me, they will receive the same fierce love, respect, and attentive care that I give to my very own. My daily life revolves around my own vibrant pet family: one high-energy German Shepherd and three indoor cats. Managing this household has taught me the art of a perfect routine—balancing the physical and mental stimulation needed for intelligent herd breeds with the quiet, structured care that felines thrive on. From morning walks and puzzle toys for large breeds to meticulous litter box maintenance and separate feeding schedules for multiple cats, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my everyday routine. I know exactly what it takes to keep a multi-pet home safe, organized, and filled with love, and I am excited to bring that same dedicated, expert care to your beloved animals! As a dedicated pet provider, safety isn't just a checkbox for me—it is the foundation of how I manage my home and routine. I believe that a predictable, structured environment combined with purposeful engagement is key to keeping animals secure, happy, and stress-free. Secure & Supervised Environments: To ensure total safety, my cats remain strictly indoors at all times, protected from outside hazards. When out in the beauty of nature, dogs are strictly kept on a leash to guarantee full control and security. Confidence-Building Playtime: I know that cats thrive on mental stimulation just as much as dogs do. Structured playtime with felines is a priority in my home because it burns excess energy, prevents stress, and—most importantly—builds their confidence and security in their environment. Structured Rest & Crate Comfort: I respect an animal's need for boundaries and decompression. If a dog needs downtime to relax or reset, I utilize crate training as a safe, positive haven for them to unwind. Proactive Health & Bloat Prevention: Having deep experience with large breeds, I am hyper-aware of digestive health. All meals are served on a strict, timely schedule. Furthermore, I enforce mandatory, quiet rest periods immediately after eating to prevent any digestive discomfort or dangerous conditions like bloat. When you trust me with your pets, you are getting an environment rooted in vigilance, confidence-building routine, and a deep respect for animal wellness.

“My doggies love Nelli! She was very patient and understanding with me when it came to introductions. Now I don’t have to worry about being away from my babies while I’m at work! I’m so glad I found her :)”

“Elizabeth was easy to work with and provided timely feedback of walks. She left updates on each walk along with pictures of our dog each day. I highly recommend Elizabeth!”

About: I live in Edison Park, but work in McCook/Chicago during the day/week or sometimes from home. I manage my time really well, so I can make anything early in the morning,/on my lunch break work- plus weekends or after work. I have always had dogs my entire life. I grew up with a chocolate lab mix, then when she passed away my family got a three legged black lab and a chesapeake bay retriever. Then, when I was in college, a chocolate lab climbed into my car and after months of trying to find his owners, I decided to keep him. Those puppies have since passed, but our family has 2 giant black labs currently. I’ve also had 4 Guinea Pigs who I loved dearly. I currently work from home part of the time and love four legged angels (sometimes 3, I had a 3 legged dog growing up). I am available in the early mornings, evenings and on the weekends consistently, but can work out weekday daytime availability with advanced notice. I make sure the animals all have the appropriate food/water setups at all times (per owners instructions depending on pet’s specific needs), as well as making sure the temperature is comfortable for the pet. I prioritize exercise and bathroom breaks for each pet. There is never a lack of social interaction when I am around. Pretty much, I view pets as family and think they deserve the best. If they have specific requirements, I will always follow whatever rules the owner requests and talk through any concerns before booking.

“Ashley did a fantastic job with my dog. She was polite and on time with great communication. I gave her a cash tip”

“Karina has been one of the top consistent walkers over the past year. Maisey simply adores her and we are blessed she is part of our routine. I would highly recommend her.”

About: I've been caring for dogs since childhood, from tiny Havanese to large German Shepherds, and I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds, and energy levels. Whether your dog is playful and outgoing or shy and anxious, I have the patience and understanding to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I take the time to earn each dog's trust while providing plenty of attention and affection. I also have experience administering medications to dogs and am happy to follow any care instructions to keep your pet healthy and comfortable. Whether you need dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, or overnight care, you can count on me to treat your dog like family. My goal is to give you peace of mind while ensuring your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for every visit. As a current graduate student on summer break, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care for your pet(s). I'm available for dog walks and dog/cat drop-in visits Tuesday through Thursday and Saturday through Sunday between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM, as well as Mondays from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. I also offer overnight pet sitting on Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. I understand that consistency and communication are important, and I'm committed to being dependable, punctual, and responsive so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy while maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication administration, crate or kennel routines, and any other specific needs your pet may have. During walks, your dog's safety is my top priority. I ensure they remain securely leashed, closely supervise their surroundings, and only allow interactions with people or other animals if you've given permission. Whether I'm stopping by for a drop-in visit, taking your dog for a walk, or providing overnight care, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I have previously worked in a dog and cat daycare, boarding, and grooming center for three years, and have watched pets of family friends since 2018. I have owned and cared for dogs, cats, snakes, birds, and more, and my family regularly fosters kittens! I am comfortable with feeding, giving medication (not injections), walking, and providing care for all types of pets. My schedule is available for overnight care at your home, daily drop-ins, single visits, or walks. Please ask me about any accommodations you may need and I will see if I can provide them. In your house, I am happy to follow any instructions about leashed or unleashed time on walks or in your backyard, will feed on your schedule, and can spend time with your pet as much as you need. I am happy to try and accommodate any changes you may need to make, give updates with photos, and tell you any behavioral or medical changes as soon as possible.
