Your pet will be cared for in a calm, safe, and loving environment while you’re away, with plenty of companionship and comfort. I have a have back yard, it is unfenced so your dog will be walked when they go outside and I have one 14-year old black lab.
“Ava, Was so nice. Not afraid of our dog jumping on her. She was not worried about the snow or cold. She was on time, she sent pictures and told us when she was near. We liked her alot, so did Stoney. I will book again. Thank you Ava.”

About: I’ve taken care of my 2 dogs for 12 years along with helping my friends and siblings care for their pets. I love dogs and cats of all ages and breeds and I love to show them the affection and care they deserve. I am currently working part time so I have pretty open availability including all day off on Monday, Wednesday and Sunday. I can provide multi day care if needed or just a walk or visits! I have plenty of experience with all types of dogs with different attitudes and personalities. I know how to effectively and nicely deal with any problems that pop up and I’m always willing to provide whatever care is needed for any dogs.
About: I've had the privilege of caring for pets since I was 10 years old. I've helped my parents train (through training classes and at home), walk, feed, bathe and enrich both of our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel pups for the last 15 years. I also had the opportunity to take care of my roommate's two gorgeous cats in college. In October 2023, I rescued my own kitty that I care for night and day. When I’m not lounging with Zilla, I like to spend time with my friends and family, try new restaurants with my boyfriend, exercise, and jam out to music in my car. I've done many overnight stays at friends’ and family members’ homes while pet sitting, and I encourage you to browse my testimonials to learn more about how passionate I am about nurturing animals. I have experience with: - puppies/kittens - adult dogs/cats - dogs of all sizes I also work full-time at a marketing agency focused exclusively on the pet industry, so I've learned an immense amount of information about pet health, pet care, pet safety and breed-specific behaviors/characteristics. My current job is remote 4/5 days a week, so I'm able to be present at your home almost whenever you need. I look forward to becoming your local, trusted pet sitter! As mentioned, my current job is remote 4/5 days a week, so I'm able to be present at your home almost whenever you need. Monday evenings and Tuesday's are the only times I'm usually unavailable. Feel free to message me to discuss my availability as needed - I can be flexible! I'm happy to stay overnight at your home to make your pet(s) feel more comfortable. You know your pet best, so I'll make sure to follow the instructions you give me and make the experience as stress-free as I possibly can for your pet(s). I'll make sure your pet is on a leash/harness whenever I take them outside (unless you have a backyard that is fenced in, of course), and will avoid interactions with other animals during walks if you have a reactive pet.
About: I have such a big heart with a passion for animals. I have been surrounded by dogs most of my life. I have had 5 dogs, 1 hedgehog, 1 turtle, and 2 rabbits. In the past I have worked at a veterinary hospital as a veterinary assistant and even at a dog grooming salon. I have cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, from poochons to great pyrenees. I have experience house sitting/dog sitting, and boarding in my own home. I can administer medication, prepare food, and attend to any other needs. Of course I provide lots of walks, play-time, possible massages, and lots of TLC. I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own. <3 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. My mornings start with dropping my son off at school, after which I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to the pets in my care. I am generally available throughout the week, with limited availability on occasional Saturdays. I am home most evenings and available most weekends. I treat every pet visit as a priority — not something I squeeze in between other obligations. I genuinely enjoy the time I spend with animals, so caring for your pet never feels like a chore. My schedule allows me to give each pet the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Safety and comfort are my top priority for every pet in my care. In a client's home, I follow their routine as closely as possible — same feeding schedule, same sleeping spots, same rules — because consistency helps pets feel calm and secure. I am comfortable administering medication, preparing meals to dietary specifications, and handling any special needs. With my background as a veterinary assistant, I am also equipped to recognize signs of illness or distress and respond appropriately.
“Elyse has taken care of my dog for the past two years while I am away at work or out of town. Unfortunately we moved away so we can no longer utilize her services. She was always super flexible with her schedule and always did her best to help me out even if it was short notice. I know she loved my dog and enjoyed being with her. I never had to worry! Thank you,Elyse, for all your help over the last couple years!”

I’ve worked with animals with disabilities as well as senior dogs. I have a bearded dragon as well as a maltipoo at home so I also have experience with caring for exotic pets. My deep passion for pet care drives me to offer the best services possible as I believe all our furry babies deserve only the best! I'm furthering my commitment to animal care by studying to become a vet as well. I’m currently a college student attending the University of Illinois Chicago. I used to live in the dorms and I would take clients between and after classes but I come home for summers so I have open availability. I have experience doing drop-ins and sitting in clients homes and I have rule of thumb when in a clients home, I ensure pets are comfortable and follow their usual routines. Additionally, I’ll provide regular walks, playtime, and feedings according to your instructions and pay close attention to any special needs or medical conditions that the pet has.
