“Amanda was great and help me out in such short notice. I have two huskies who can be quite hyper sometimes, but she handled them well and they seem to really get along with her. Took great care of the house while we were away and I highly recommend her.”

“Elizabeth was so helpful taking care of our two dogs while we were away! She didn't just let them out, but also walked them and was super communicative about how they were doing. We are so grateful for all her help and felt very confident our pups were well cared for in our absence.”

About: Although I have no professional experience working with dogs, growing up I have owned several. As a result, I have turned into a huge dog lover, and I am very comfortable around all breeds and sizes. In addition, I have handled dogs with varying types of demeanor from some that are more nervous and submissive, as well as those who are more dominant. I treat and love every dog I meet as if they were my own. :) I actually did Rover for several years, but took a break as I moved to the UK for a bit. I'm back in the Chicagoland area now though as I figure out next steps, which means lots of time for walks, playtime, and snuggles as I navigate the minefield that is LinkedIn. I'm always happy to check in throughout the day with pictures and videos as I want to make sure you feel confident that your dog is properly taken care of while you're away. Please reach out if you have any further questions! Other languages: fluent in American Sign Language, conversational in Spanish. As mentioned, I'm currently readjusting to being back in the States after living overseas for a few years. As of right now, I've got very open availability. I'm currently unable to have pets in my home. But I'm happy to meet your fur baby where they are and follow whatever routine they've got set. Just let me know!
“Claire was great for our animals. We have 3 dogs and 1 cat and we just moved to IL. We needed someone in a pinch and it was great to get to know her. She's very nice and easy going and took great care of our animals!”
“Once again, Angie went above and beyond in her care for my three dogs. My Boxer is recovering from eye ulcer surgery, and she was dedicated to his medical care in our absence. She was especially needed during bad thunderstorms, where the same Boxer is extremely afraid of thunder. She was there to provide the comfort they all needed. For that I am truly thankful to her!”

“Very playful and energetic with my pups! Made sure the my dogs had everything they need and gave them lots of love. While on vacation we received lots of photos. We are happy that we found someone who cares and loves our dogs just as much as us. Jennifer is someone you can trust!”

“Jackson took amazing care of our puppy and house for a week recently. He was in constant communication with pictures, videos and texts. We highly recommend Jackson's care and will certainly book him for another visit in the future.”


About: I have a deep passion for dogs! I grew up with pitties and love any kind of dog. I have dog sat for neighbors and family friends since I was 16 years old. I have experience with small dogs all the way through XL dogs, ranging from 5 months old to senior dogs I am currently working part time and will start my graduate program in the fall. I am very flexible with time! I can adjust to a dogs needs... lazy dog? Cool, we can lay inside all day! High energy dog? Let's go on a few long walks! I have no problem being firm and needing to crate your dog if needed, I grew up with 2 stubborn dogs so I understand! I will do my best to keep your furry friends safe and comfortable

About: I’ve owned a dog for 15 years and just recently adopted a 10 week old puppy so I understand the attention a young puppy needs. I was taught off the bases that the animal needs to respect you and view you as the “leader of the pack” so no dogs can push me around big or small. Getting angry with an animal won’t help fix its behavior so I’m very patient and open to taking care of the animal to its needs. Free after 3:30pm Monday/Tuesday/Thursday Free after 5:30pm Wednesday Free from 1:00pm-7pm Friday Free from 9:30am-7pm Saturday Free All Day Sunday I live in an apartment complex so I can’t watch pets from my home, however I’m 100% attentive to your pet and whether it’s just watching them, feeding them, taking them out, or for a walk they’re safe in my care always thinking about the homeowner and pet first!
“Carly was absolutely fantastic! Carly communicated throughout the time I was gone and let me know how my dog was doing. My dog was super well taken care of and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. 10/10 would recommend.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. I have yet to meet a dog that I don’t care for and love as my own. Dogs are the one thing in the world that is a constant source of happiness for me, and I can ensure that your doggies are supported and entertained while you are away. I am a current college student at the University of Iowa, and I am home for the summer! I have open availability 7 days a week, apart from a class I am taking on some mornings. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize keeping their usual routine exactly as they like it to minimize any stress. I strictly follow all instructions for feeding, fresh water, medication, and playtime. I always ensure your house is locked up and fully secure after every single visit.

About: I’ve taken care of pets in my neighborhood for around 10 years now! I love going on long walks, so I’d love your pups to join! I have been volunteering at an animal shelter for a year now and have gained a lot of knowledge on caring for animals! I also take dogs out of the shelter for a doggy day trip to get them out of the noisy environment and get fresh air!

If love to play in the yard with your pups and give your kitty’s scratches and play with toys!
About: I have had my own two dogs and also have cared for friends' pets including walking, feeding, and administering medication. I have also stayed overnight to care for pets. I help care for my elderly parents so my schedule is mostly flexible. I am at church Saturday evenings from about 4-7 so I am unavailable then. I am patient with pets and upon meeting them I let them see for themselves that they can trust me by sniffing me or whatever they need to do. With my own dog I always make sure he is safe and well cared for.
“Jorden was very nice. He took good care of the dogs. There weren't messes to clean up when we got home. We were very happy with our choice to have him watch our pets. we would do it again.”

About: I've had my share of pets since I was probably about 6 years old and my love kept growing with them. I currently have 3 pets; 2 dogs (Pitbull and a Doberman mix) and a cockatiel. They are my world, along with my husband and 7-year-old twins. I work part-time so I can do late mornings, evenings, and/or weekends to fit your needs. I have a 4-hour break in between my morning work routes and I am off of work by 5 pm. How I care for my pets in my household, may be different from your house. I am able to adhere to any and all rules for your fur babies.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cars in shelters and at home for over 10 years. I love dogs, cats, rabbits, sugar gliders, you name it! I’ll treat every pet with the respect they deserve I’m currently working freelance from home and find myself with a lot of free time. I often fill this time outside walking around turtle lake or biking through springbrook prairie. I’d love to have some furry companions along the way. Currently I have a small backyard where pets would have to be leashed. The neighborhood offers a lot in terms of trails and green space to run around in.

We cant find the words to express how grateful we were to have Jennifer watch our two furr babies, full blooded Labradors. We have never left our kids with anyone before, so it was a pleasure to have her in our home with the kids for 8 days and had not one worry! She sent us pictures and updates daily, which was wonderful to see how happy the kids were. Even with it being cold outside, she threw the ball for them and played with them. Not only did she take fantastic job watching our kids, she kept our home in tip top shape, and I have the worst case of OCD and I would have her back with no questions asked!!! If you want the VERY BEST, go with Jennifer, you will not be disappointed, worried or concerned about anything. She also did things in my house like vacuumed, mopping, and ran errands for me. She has the most upbeat personality and super likeable! We hit it off right off the bat.

Stephanie did an amazing job with our potty-training aged lab while we were gone for 10 days! Called us when there were questions or concerns and sent us updates on how they were doing! Kept our 3 year old pittie-boxer from playing too hard without keeping them from exercising or zoomies (via videos)!
Sierra was wonderful with Lily! She gave me updates, sent me pictures and made sure Lily was well cared for and happy. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands while I was out of town! I would definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again!
