Simba ( American bully mix) and Kekas ( yorkie) had their first walk with Natalie a week ago and it went really good. Her experience with dogs is notable. I have a large and small breed dogs and she handled them very well. Simba is a 60 pounds puppy and I am super impressed how she handled his excitement and reinforce his training. Looking forward to many walks and drop ins. Thanks Natalie 😊💜

About: We have over 25 years experience raising our Labs, Rottweiler's and now our 2 year Chi-wienner dog, Ollie. I'll come to your place and care for the kids or bring them to me and they can play with Ollie. Walks, playtime and feedings are all good. It's no problem if they need their meds or other care. Your pets will be safe, loved, happy and well cared for, giving you peace of mind while you are at work or traveling. We currently live in a 1st floor 2 bedroom condo in Crystal Lake, Illinois. There are other dogs here and your pet could make other friends. While we focus on smaller dogs, let me know if you have a Rottie; we can consider them on a case by case basis. We raised four and have a special place for them in our hearts. Pet care is my only job so I spend lots of time with the dogs. I feed at 8am and 5:30pm. Walks are four times a day and my husband has them outside when it's sunny. I treat client dogs as if they are mine. They will spend the day with Ollie and I. My husband and I love dogs and to us they're family, including yours. It's my only job. My husband assists me and is here five days a week and every evening. All dogs are given very personalized attention. Weather permitting, my husband and I will have them outside throughout the day. Otherwise, indoor lounging is the order of the day. We feed twice a day, plus treats for all good boys and girls.

Katie has a very calm demeanor and Jagger was happy to go to her when he met her at the meet and greet. She set a ton of pics and videos from their walk and Jagger was very happy to be out of the Loft and getting some fresh air with her! Her help is very appreciated and gives Jagger the midday breaks he needs!

We feel very blessed to have found Florian to help with caring for our two chocolate labs during our recent trip out of the country. After meeting Florian for the first time, we had great confidence in leaving our cherished pups in his care for walks and visits. It is obvious that Florian's extensive experience as a pet parent / foster parent gives him a great ability to connect and bond with pets under his care. He exceeded our expectations and we will certainly be calling on Florian again for our next trip. Florian was able to handle our large dogs and understand their needs.

About: I treat every pet like family—because I know how much they mean to you. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, calm energy, and ability to care for pets of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience with everything from puppy training and crate schedules to gentle senior care, including administering medications and supporting mobility issues. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra patience, I take the time to get to know them and adjust my care style to match. I also provide clear updates, photos, and honest communication so you feel completely at ease while you’re away. Bonus? I work from home and have a flexible schedule—so your pets get lots of attention and consistent companionship throughout the day. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily plan my day around walk times, feeding schedules, play sessions, and cuddle breaks. I make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need, whether that’s early morning potty breaks or a calm evening routine. I also build in time for cleaning, updates to pet parents, and making sure everything feels just right—because I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you're away from your pets. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize keeping your pets happy, safe, and stress-free—while respecting your space as if it were my own. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any special care instructions. Whether it's a quick drop-in visit or an overnight stay, I create a calm, reassuring environment and make sure your pets feel comfortable in their own home. I’m attentive to small details—like refreshing water bowls, tidying up pet areas, deep-cleaning litter boxes, and keeping an eye on your pet’s mood and behavior. I provide honest communication, regular updates, and plenty of photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in kind, capable hands.

About: I have been a pet owner since I brought my first dog home at 12yo and told my parents "they said we could keep her overnight to see if we liked her. We currently have three dogs, and my roommate has two. I truly believe that people don't deserve dogs, they are the best! I decided to take a break from working full time, and this is my only job right now. Coming from working 12 hours a days, I understand the guilt that come along with that for pet parents. I'm happy to step in where you can't! I'm used to working with an array of dogs, big and small along with those that have special needs, like my own. I will take whatever precautions necessary, and follow all owner guidelines.

About: With 2 years under my belt, I’ve had the chance to dog and cat sit multiple times while meeting the needs of each pet. This includes medication, closely following tight pet schedules, and being flexible with dog and cats stages of life I currently work part time! Mostly mid-shifts and no more than 4 days a week usually so I make it a priority to get those morning walks in, sometimes into late afternoon I have a space in my basement which is spacious enough for your pets to wander and stay in while staying safe, as well if they need to i have a big backyard for them to run around.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs in the household. While my mom was away at work, my sister and I would be in charge of taking care of the animals. When I was younger, my neighbors and boyfriend’s family would intrust in me to take care of their dogs and take them for walks. I have a full-time job Monday-Thursday. I am flexible enough to alternate Fridays and Saturdays every week. Although they are already set in the schedule. Depending on the day I am not working, I am free all day (Friday-Sunday). I can give more details on my work schedule as needed. Depending on the client's house and their rules, I respect the clients guidelines and the requirements they expect. From previous walks/ in home stay/ feedings, I always communicated and client put their trust in me. If there was any concern or question, I respond very quick to ensure they can rely on an answer.

FIVE STARS - WOULD RECOMMEND! Angela loved and cared for our dog while we were away. The report cards were detailed and included multiple photos each day, which warmmed our hearts while we missed him more each day! When I say she cared for him, I mean she actually CARED! When he wasn't eating his dinner, she tried multiple efforts and then notified me of it. We were able to communicate and remedy it! She also took into consideration the temperature of each individual day, and what would be an appropriate time outdoors for MY individual dog breed and personality. She got to know his likes and dislikes, and played with him with his toys. I will be hiring her again! ?

About: I grew up with animals starting out with hamsters and guinea pigs. Currently have a small Bichon Frise dog who always needs love and attention. I love going on walks, especially with a companion:) I am currently a college student and attend classes Monday through Thursday so my availability is mainly weekends other than when I am on breaks. For my own dog I always make sure she has food and water at all times. Letting her outside whenever she wants in order to get some fresh air and then going on walks with her twice a day is part of our routine. She is not one to play, but still loves being silly and having the zoomies. In those energetic moments I always join her. Then at the end of the day everyone deserves a treat and so does she:)

Kathleen has been caring for my English Bulldog Nigel while I travel for business. She has proven to be a true dog lover - patient, loving and caring. She treats Nigel with love and tenderness. He has extreme allergies and needs eye drops twice daily and a weekly grooming at the dog spa. Kathleen has taken him to his weekly bath and back home. His groomer has commented multiple times what a terrific dog sitter she is and that he is in good hands when I am gone. Kathleen is personable, friendly and professional. But most importantly Nigel loves her. He is excited to see her every time she arrives. He is comfortable with her and shows no anxiety being with her when I leave. He is calm and relaxed when I arrive home and that means the world to me. I highly recommend Kathleen as a dog sitter/dog walker.

Beth watched my 80 lb pittie, George, for a few days and he is obsessed with her!!! I would trust her watching him any time I’m out of town. George is a high-energy, young guy that I deem high maintenance, so quite the handful. But Beth loves him and that makes me so happy. I just know he’s in good hands when he’s with her!!

Elaine is the BEST pet sitter. She loves animals more than people (but is still a great people person). She will treat your pets like they’re her best friend and make sure they are safe and taken care of, as well as entertained. She is my go to for my cat. I’m very particular about my cat and how she is cared for, and Elaine is one of the only people I trust to provide the best care. She always sends me pictures and updates and I’m always confident my cat is well taken care of. She is your best option!!

About: I grew up with animals starting out with hamsters and guinea pigs. Currently have a small Bichon Frise dog who always needs love and attention. I love going on walks, especially with a companion:) I am currently a college student and attend classes Monday through Thursday so my availability is mainly weekends other than when I am on breaks. For my own dog I always make sure she has food and water at all times. Letting her outside whenever she wants in order to get some fresh air and then going on walks with her twice a day is part of our routine. She is not one to play, but still loves being silly and having the zoomies. In those energetic moments I always join her. Then at the end of the day everyone deserves a treat and so does she:)

Greg did an amazing job taking care of my pets! He walked my American Staffordshire Terrier, who can be a strong puller, with ease and confidence. My dog absolutely loved him! Greg also took wonderful care of my bunny, providing daily updates with pictures and even administering medication as needed. It was such a relief knowing my pets were in great hands. I highly recommend Greg to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter or walker!

Megan did an amazing job watching River. She was responsible and made sure River was spoiled the entire time we we gone. Could not recommend her enough!
