Dog Sitting Papillion

“Charlie is GREAT!! She played with one of my cats, and the other DIDN'T hiss at her. (He did have flat ears, but that is VERY normal.) Will definitely ask for her again!”

Kathy L.

“Jessica is incredible! She is so reliable, compassionate and great with our dogs. I appreciate everything she’s done for our pack and highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve had dogs all of my life and I have experience taking care of dogs. I currently have two dogs of my own. I know the patience and time it takes to care for pets. Dogs are not just pets, they are family members with their own unique personalities. I am here to help you because I know it takes a community to care for pets. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pups. Right now my schedule is pretty flexible. I can let your pup outside for potty breaks, feed them, give them water, or take them on walks. I am here to offer and extra hand when you need it.

“We’ve used Kylie a couple of times now and she’s been great! She is always great with communication, sends lots of pictures and updates and is super patient with our crazy boys.”

About: I’ve always had at least one animal since i was a child, I’ve worked as a kennel tech and I’ve been to vet school! I have a couple cats and a dog, they are my WORLD!! My dog had a bad life before I adopted him, and I completely trained him myself with very little help. He is a perfect, well behaved angel now! My schedule is pretty open! I am a stay at home wife and I’m in school, so I have plenty of time on my hands to care for your pets! I am thoroughly knowledgeable on all things dog safety related, my pooch has had a rough go at it so I’ve take courses on animal CPR, de-escalation training, and I am familiar with taking care of animals with health issues. Every pet is different and they all need varying levels of care and comfort requirements.

About: Having a border collie as a family dog, I’m very knowledgeable in the importance of enrichment for certain breeds. Having just lost our family dog, I know very well the impact our pets have, they’re family and not just pets. I am currently self employed as an licensed esthetician and nail technician. I can make time when needed almost always. Let me know what you need and I'll be happy to deliver! I am very familiar with kenneling, big on environmental safety checks, as we know it only takes a few seconds or a minute for something to go unseen!

“Absolutely wonderful! Highly recommend. Didn’t have once concern while on our trip. Marie was a pleasure, kept me updated and sent pictures everyday of our fur babies. Very very happy! Will use again!”

“Booked Lorren for a second time and she did such an excellent job AGAIN. Was incredibly grateful that she was able to respond with such short notice. She took excellent care of all our little pets, with frequent communication and incredible pictures.”

Robert V.

“Ashley was great and I so appreciate her! I asked very last minute for her to watch my dogs and then even added on more time while I was away and she was happy to help me with whatever! She completely saved my bum so I could visit family and the dogs loved her!!”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life. Currently have a golden retriever that loves walks and all things outdoors! So can make sure your pup has a good time! I’m currently in school studying physical therapy at the college of Saint Mary’s. I have a flexible schedule so let’s chat and see what times work the best for me and your pup!! I prioritize safety and trust by following routines carefully, securing doors and leashes, maintaining a clean environment, and providing frequent updates so owners feel confident

“Ariana is Very responsive and gave a very detailed report card. I appreciate her being able to assist last minute”

About: I was raised around cats and dogs my entire childhood, and as an adult I now own 2 rabbits. My rabbits will always be closed away in a separate room with a locked door while boarding pets in my home. Although I don't currently own any cats or dogs, I have extensive experience with them and treat all animals as if they were my own. I accept exotic animals as well, just book them as cats and send me a message! I own a house in the Chalco area with a fenced in backyard and have boarded dogs many times here. I have an XL dog crate, leashes, and food and water bowls on hand. I currently work Mon-Fri 8-5pm. I am available weekdays after 5pm and anytime on weekends. I can do drop in visits on my 1pm lunch break or any time after 5pm. I treat your pets as I would treat my own. I am able to pick up dog waste, scoop cat litter, and provide medications as well as food and water.

“Kadasia took wonderful care of the one cat who didn’t stay hidden and also had successful searches to find the one who wouldn’t come out. We really appreciated her interactions with both cats. A very successful visit.”

Russell B.

“King loved having Kelsey come help him out! I knew he was in good hands and the check in’s/notes helped me not to worry about him. Will definitely be reaching out for future visits.”

Sam K.

About: I've grown up with always more than one animal in the household, and loving them is second nature. When my family and friends need someone to help take care of the pets, I am always the first option! I have taken care if lots of cats and dogs, but a few fish throughout the years too. I have experience not only with general pet care such as, feeding, walking, playing/enrichment, but also with giving medications. Some dog breeds I have worked with (or lived with) are German Shepards, Yellow Labs, and mutts that are a mix of medium/bigger dogs or small dachshund mixes. And a lot of different cat personalities! The distant and quiet ones who keep to themselves and the ones who need your attention the second you walk through your door! Either way, I have always loved them no matter what, and continue to love them still. I am not currently working so my days are opened for anything, anytime! I may be finding a part time job soon, if I do not have lots of pets to watch, but something that still keeps my schedule open and flexible. I am always willing to wake up early or stay up late because I have the free time and flexibility! In my home, my cat never has a missed meal, he has clean and running water 24/7, and a handful of toys available for enrichment! A handheld laser always nearby for sudden play time is anecessity! As for my client's pets, I will always follow instructions step by step and detail by detail, no matter if feeding times includes something silly to get the fur baby to actually eat their food, I will always do it! And I am not the kind of person to just stop in, do what I need to do, and leave. I will make sure the pet is well loved and knows that I am there for them.

About: Hi, I’m Zelina (“Zee”), and caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. I hold a B.S. in Animal Science, Pre-Veterinary Medicine from Iowa State University and have hands-on experience in dog training, canine behavior, animal care, veterinary medicine, surgery, and orthopedics. Over the years, I’ve worked with dogs in laboratory and veterinary settings, volunteered with animal rescue, and owner-trained my own service dog. I also enjoy training my own dogs, including working with Saga in conformation and scent work, and earning Trick Dog and Canine Good Citizen (CGC) titles with Ollie. My veterinary and animal science background has taught me to look at each dog as an individual, paying attention not only to their behavior and personality but also to their health, comfort, and overall well-being. Whether your dog is playful and energetic, nervous in a new environment, needs extra structure, or simply loves being spoiled, I want them to feel safe, understood, and cared for while they’re with me. As a dog sitter, I bring professional animal experience together with genuine love for dogs. I believe the best care includes plenty of attention, enrichment, patience, and the consistency that helps dogs feel comfortable away from home. My goal is for every pet parent to feel confident knowing their dog is in caring, experienced hands. Because I work from home, your pet receives care in a home environment with plenty of attention throughout the day. When I’m not working, I’m often outside working on our latest project: transforming our backyard into a pet paradise! We’re continually adding improvements and enrichment features to create a safe, fun, and comfortable space for the animals in our care. This means your pet gets to enjoy a relaxed home setting, a consistent routine, and plenty of opportunities for enrichment while they’re staying with us. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because I work from home, pets staying with me are able to enjoy a calm home environment with regular supervision and attention throughout the day. I maintain a clean, structured, and pet-friendly space and take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and comfort level before they stay with me. I believe trust is built by respecting each animal as an individual. Some pets are social and love attention, while others need more space and time to settle in. I never force interaction and instead allow pets to become comfortable at their own pace. I provide regular updates through Rover so you can feel connected and confident while you’re away. For pets staying in my home, I provide dedicated spaces and supervised enrichment tailored to their needs. I’m also continually improving our backyard to create a safe and enriching “pet paradise” where pets can enjoy supervised outdoor time. For in-home visits, I follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible and treat your home and belongings with the same care and respect I would expect in my own home. With my background in animal care and veterinary settings, I’m also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall well-being. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while their family is away. We have a 6ft privacy fence. We require vaccinations. We require strict sanitation protocols and utilize labortory grade sanitizer and disinfectant to protect your pet.

“Valarie was great at communicating & my pups seemed to really like her. She sent lots of pictures, which is a bonus! Will definitely be using her services again.”

“Thank you for taking care of Calypso while we were gone. It was great to hear updates that she was coming out to eat even if she was shy while you were at the house.”

Kristin P.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was around 10. I have two dogs and two cats of my own. I’ve trained both of my dogs through an obedience course and one of them is even certified to go into classrooms! I without a doubt will treat your animals like they’re my own. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, so I’m usually around all week long and am able to be more flexible with my schedule if need be. When visiting your animals I make sure to put them at ease. Whether that bring treats (after your okay) or extra pets, I want them to feel safe with me!

“Jennifer took excellent care of my dog. She even sent photos of her visits to keep me up to donate. She is very friendly and is excellent with dogs. Thank you, Jennifer!!!”
