“Rebecca’s was amazing! Very communicative, responsive and great with my 2 cats! She’s such a kind person and my guys seemed to love her. She was able to step in last minute and water a few plant as well. She also provided tons of pictures and detailed updates. Will definitely be booking with Rebecca again next time we go out of town.”
“Ashley did a great job with our pup. We had a meet and great and then drop in visits. My dog is not always happy when I am away and tends to poop in the house. Ashley was great at cleaning it all up. Thank you. Already booked another time with her.”
“Thank you so much, Margaret! I am blessed and appreciate you so much for stepping in at the last minute. I loved the pictures and communication. I highly recommend you! ???”
“Chelsea did an awesome job taking care of my little guy. He’s just a puppy and she was sure to feed him and take him out for me. I work full-time and I just need a little help on my longer days and she is awesome. 💗🐾”
“Eli is fantastic! I cannot say enough positive things about our experience! Our cat, Babs, was well taken care of, fed, and even got to play while we were away for the weekend! I absolutely loved the check in reports Eli made! My husband and I were smiling all weekend reading them and for the first time I can remember, I wasn't laying awake in bed worrying about if Babs had enough food and water or was getting into trouble while we were away. I would recommend Eli to anyone who has pets and wants them to feel cared for while they are away and I will definitely be contacting Eli again for check ins when my husband and I go on another trip!”
About: Along with taking care of my own pets, I interned at an animal hospital for a few months! I have experience with dogs and cats! I currently am free to work whenever you need. I am a substitute teacher and a babysitter! I can always make room for your pet! I have a fenced yard with two welcoming dogs and a very curious cat! I will give them all the attention they need and deserve!
“Alex was wonderful. I was very comfortable leaving her in charge of our cats. She was very reliable and took care of our cats like her own. Would definitely book her again.”
“We are very dedicated to ensuring our cats are well cared for, and Jasmine did a great job with drop-in visits! Frequent communication, great pictures, and open to asking for clarification when needed. Even our cat who's anxious with strangers seemed to settle into a comfortable routine. +++”
“I recently moved from the southwest Chicago land suburbs to Griffith IN with my two dogs. My two year old husky, Denver, for some reason still isn’t capable of holding himself all day while I’m at work and I was looking for a dog walker in the Griffith area who could come by during the day to let him out. I had such an amazing dog walker back in Oak Forest, I valued and trusted him beyond belief. I was weary and nervous that I wouldn’t be able to find anybody new that I would feel confident allowing to enter my home and be with dogs when I wasn’t around. Ken, however, was not only able to fill my old walkers shoes, but he also given me peace of mind knowing my dogs are being loved and cared for. I can genuinely say with out any reservations that I whole heartily TRUST this man. Ken is such a gentle and kind soul. He was amazing with my dogs and left no doubts that my pets would be treated properly and kept safe in his care! My boy friend and I both think he is wonderful and my dogs simply adore him. As long as he is willing to look after my boys I will be returning to Ken for any and all sitting and walking services. If you’re looking for somebody you can trust, do not pass up reaching out to Ken, I promise you he will not let you down. Thank you, Ken, we value and appreciate you SO much!”
“Had another great experience having Crystal checking on my cat. Crystal was very timely. I was provided with updates and pictures following each visit to assure me that my cat was being well taken care of. I will definitely use Crystal on my next trip!”
About: Hey there! I'm Nick, a 32-year old dog lover and proud owner of a playful and energetic Boston Terrier named Ivy. I understand how important it is to find someone reliable and caring to look after your furry friend, and I'm hoping I can help provide exactly that. Whether it's a long walk in the park or some play time/relaxing at home, I would be happy to help your dog/dogs feel safe and cared for while you're away. I've learned a lot taking care of Ivy over the last six years, and prior to that I have many years of experience taking care of family and friends dogs while away. I currently work from home full time (8-5) but looking for a change of pace to my evenings and weekends and hoping that I can be exactly what you and your dog/dogs need for those days where life just gets a little too busy. I've got experience and familiarity with many breeds and sizes and I'm great at following specific care routines. I also am comfortable with administering medications and following along with any specific dietary needs or feeding schedules. My dog Ivy is extremely active (she wants to play frisbee in our yard 10+ times a day!) so if I had to say what my specialty was I would probably say exercise for active dogs. Looking forward to meeting your dog/dogs and offering you peace of mind while you're away! I currently work from home full time Monday through Friday 8-5, so I am available in the evenings during the week but have flexibility for all day on the weekends. My biggest goal is consistency for your dog/dogs, as that is vital to their overall well-being and comfort while you are away, so I strictly adhere to any specifics from the client regarding their home, yard, neighborhood, and of course any needs specific to the dog/dogs themselves.
About: I have always grown up with animals. Right now I have 2 dogs, 2 gerbils and 12 chickens! I love animals and will love yours too! I currently work from home so I have pretty open availability. I would love to help you feel more comfortable when you can't be home to take care of your pets. I have no issues following your directions on how you want your pet taken care of. I love to take dogs on walks and enjoy spending time with them.
