About: I’ve grown up surrounded by pets—dogs, cats, ferrets, even lizards—and I’ve cared for a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies to laid-back seniors, I treat every animal like my own, with love and attention. I offer dog sitting, walking, and drop-in visits at your home, ensuring your pet feels comfortable in their own space. I carry my own trash bags for walks and provide plenty of exercise, affection, and attention. I also take pride in keeping your home clean and tidy during my stay. Before starting, I always do a meet-and-greet to ensure we’re a good fit and to discuss your pet’s needs. Let’s chat about how I can make your pet feel at ease while you're away! I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate to most pet care needs. I am available on weekdays all hours of the day, as for weekends Friday-Saturday I have full availability however Sunday's I will always have off for self care and cleaning up my home. I provide personalized care for your pets in their own enviornment, ensuring they stay comfortable and safe. I follow their routines, offer plenty of attention, and keep your home tidy. I have loads of energy and can give your pet constant attention
About: I’ve spent the past nine years caring for my poodle, watching her grow from a curious little puppy into my best friend. She is my fur sister. That experience taught me the importance of patience, love, and daily companionship. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and truly cared for while they’re with me. I work part-time, which means I have lots of free time to give your furry friend the love, play, and attention they deserve. I’m available on weekdays from 8 AM to 8 PM. Having cared for my poodle for the past nine years, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and part of the family. In my home, pets have a cozy and secure space where they can relax, play, and enjoy daily companionship. I follow their usual feeding, walking, and play routines to keep them comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick closely to their familiar schedule, so they feel just as loved and secure as they do with you.
About: I’m the kennel manager at The Gold Leash in Naperville, however, when I’m not at work managing play groups; you’ll find me right at home doing almost the same thing with my mini pack! I have many repeat clients who frequently book with me because their dogs love coming over :) I live near a beautiful park with pathways for walking. I have a family pup who absolutely loves other dogs and he comes over frequently so your pup will have a friend if I have to step out and run errands. I also have a medium/large crate in case your pup needs time to calm down or simply just wants private time.I take frequent trips to the dog park and maintain an active lifestyle according to your dogs physical needs. I work very early shifts (5 am - 1 pm) and my boyfriend works afternoons so he’s able to take out the pups for their morning potty and I make sure they get out at least 2 more times before the end of the day. Our schedules align well with having at least 1 person home at all times. Feed all dogs separately if multiple dogs are in my home. Access to water 24/7, I have multiple water bowls around my apartment. 1 cage in case someone needs private time. Trips to the dog park under owner's consent.

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life. As well as a few different sizes and temperaments as well - from a toy poodle, to two collies, and now a Shetland sheepdog. Starting in elementary school, I have taken care of many of my neighbors pets while they went on vacation or a weekend tournament. I have taken care of puppies all the way to senior dogs that need special care and special attention. I’m currently a junior at Trinity Christian College, where I play on the volleyball team and serve as a Resident Assistant on campus. Even with a busy schedule, I make it a priority to plan ahead and stay organized, which means I always know when I’m available to care for your pets. I understand how important it is to make sure your fur babies feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. As a dog owner myself, I know how much peace of mind it brings to have someone dependable looking after them—and I’m committed to giving your pets the same level of attention and care I’d want for my own. I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit both our schedules and make sure your pet gets the love and time they deserve! Many dogs find it comfortable to stay in their own home. With owning many different dogs I know how to keep boundaries with dogs (if they like being touched, etc.) I have taken care of dogs who need medication, changed diapers, and food stirred a certain way😂. I will do my very best to make your dog as comfortable as possible.
“Amy took care of my dog for 3 weeks when I was out of the country. Amy was always on time, sent me messages with dog's pictures, updates, responded to my messages instantly. Amy made me feel at ease and my dog was happy every day to see her. I would recommend Amy to my friends and everyone else, too. Thank you Amy for all your help!”
About: Since being a little girl I have had many pets. I’ve taken care of parrots, bunnies, dogs, and cats which have given me so many wonderful memories! Taking care of pets and showing them love is the thing I do best! I work from home the majors of the time so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pet. My dad and my teenagers also love playing and caring for our little friends and gives them loves of love! I have a big house and a huge yard for you pups to play around and a small shi tzu to keep your pup company.
About: I'm known as the dog whisperer in our neighborhood. Have watched and cared for many neighbors dogs as well as my family's in the past; from dropping in to feed them or take them for a walk to boarding while family and Friends are out of town. I'm recently retired and other than playing the occasional round of golf or working on the ever present "Honey Due" list my wife and I are available No two pets are alike so I will trust your guidance as to the specifics of schedule, although your pet has their immediate input as well! Your pet will be loved and well taken car of. No need to worry about them.
About: So far, the longest I’ve taken car of a dog is 10 years. Other than that, I’ve been around many other dogs who seem to like my presence. I currently am part time and my schedule is usually pretty flexible so I can stop in whenever is needed to let the dogs outside or to walk them. I always want to make sure that the animals are comfortable with me so I think a meeting before the job would be beneficial. Any schedule you have would be appreciated and followed to the letter.

“It is with great pleasure that I recommend Ximan as a dog sitter. She has been an absolute lifesaver for my dog, Bowbow, and me. Her genuine love for animals is evident in the way she interacts with him, always providing him with the attention, care, and exercise he needs. I feel completely at ease whenever Bowbow is in her care, knowing he's not just being watched, but is being loved and treated as one of her own. Her reliability, responsible nature, and excellent communication make her an exceptional choice, and I wholeheartedly trust her to care for any pet.”
