“Our cats love Giada and we love working with her. She’s very responsive which is very important to me especially we are out of the country. Looking forward to more checkins”
“She was very kind and patient with us, even though we are not fluent in English. Everything went smoothly from the meet-and-greet to the key handover. Although it was only for two days, our cat seemed to warm up to her quickly. We really appreciated her care!”
“Erica was amazing with our kitties. She was a huge help and helped by adding extra visits since I biffed on the scheduling. We didn’t have to cut our trip short. I will always book her moving forward.”
“Maria is absolutely wonderful! We have had her watch our fur babies numerous times and she goes above and beyond! They love her so much and we are so thankful to leave our pets in the hands of someone they love and we trust!”
“Cathy started caring for our black lab, Wendy, last week. She responded so quickly to my messages and was able to do a meet and greet within days of my first message to her! Our dog loves Cathy and it’s been going really well when Cathy comes to let her out at lunchtime. I would definitely recommend Cathy to care for your pet! She has a lab of her own and a lot of experience.”
“Dane was friendly, has great communication, and wonderful with my 2 cats (one of them a senior) and wonderful with my reactive dog. I hired Dane for drop in visits while out of town for a family wedding. Dane asked follow up questions as needed during the visits and was on time. I would definitely book again and refer to a friend!”
About: 🐾 I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, and it’s been a lifelong passion. Over the years, I’ve looked after pups of all sizes—from a tiny 8 lb dachshund to strong, lovable 100 lb pitbull mix. My experience includes everything from energetic puppies to slow-moving seniors, each with their own needs and personalities. I currently live with two spayed female dogs who are well-socialized and have peacefully cohabitated with several foster dogs since last year. I regularly volunteer with Border Tails Rescue, providing a safe, nurturing home for dogs in transition. Through fostering, I’ve gained deep experience with behavior observation, gentle training, and helping anxious or shy dogs feel secure. I’ve managed feeding routines, administered medications, and supported dogs through recovery and adjustment periods. I’m especially mindful of canine body language and group dynamics, and I only accept dogs who are friendly with others to maintain a safe, peaceful environment. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I treat every pup with patience, respect, and the kind of attention I’d want for my own. 🐶 When dog sitting, I am home all day so your pup will have lots of attention. On the rare occasion I do leave the house, it's never for more than 4 hours at a time. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I share my home with two friendly, playful dogs—Miley, a 50 lb mixed breed, and a 75 lb American Bully—who are well-socialized and enjoy respectful canine company. My securely fenced yard provides space for supervised outdoor play, and my middle school children, who are also well-versed in watching and caring for dogs, help ensure everyone feels safe and supported. I only accept dogs who are known to be dog-friendly to maintain a positive, secure environment for all.

About: Ive worked at petsmart as a professional dog bather and ive worked with dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I have also owned dogs since I was very young. I feed my pets in the morning around 8am and then in the evening at 4pm before I head off to work. I also brush my one dog who sheds insane amounts weekly. I clip my cats nails once every two weeks. I also take my dogs in to bathe them at my work. I have two very loving dogs who love to be in the fenced in backyard I have. My cat toast has a small tent she feels secure in because being outside makes her anxious and yet, she’s always asking to go out.
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was 15. Neighbors, friends, family have all relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their fur babies. I’m an animal lover who used to be a jr. Naturalist; I love all animals. I’m currently working a before school care program and an after school care program with the park district. I am available for walking pets starting at 9am-3pm (Monday- Friday) all year round. For pet setting it depends on the time and date. I live in a townhouse with a family friendly neighborhood; I don’t have a fenced in yard, however, I do have a park that we can let them ran around. Your pet won’t be lonely in our home we have a fur baby ourselves, Nigel (west highland terrier). I would look after your fur baby like my own, walks three to four times a day, fed as often as needed, play time, love and compassion. Your fur baby is apart your family and will be cared for that way.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 16 and have always grown up with animals. Over the years, my home has had four dogs and two cats - now we have two sweet dogs (one large, one small) and one loving, shy cat. I’ve helped care for pets of all sizes and temperaments. Friends, neighbors, family, and coworkers have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets when needed. Our home has a fenced-in yard in a quiet neighborhood, making it a safe and welcoming space for your furry friend. I work part-time and attend college full-time, so I am used to managing a busy schedule while still making time for pets. During the Autumn term (September-December), I am in classes Mondays and Wednesdays but available in the evenings. I am also available most weekends and other weekdays. I live with my father, who also helps care for the animals when needed, so your pet will never be without attention. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs who love having playmates around. I also have a sweet cat, and we make sure everyone gets along or has their own space. I live with my father who is equally experienced and happy to help care for your pet. We can crate your dog if needed and always prioritize your pets safety, comfort, and happiness.

About: For multiple years I've taken care of various pets, including both cats and dogs. I've done dog walking as well as visiting throughout the day to change food/water. I love animals and will show that love through how I care for them. I do not have a full time job, and have a very flexible schedule right now. I can easily adjust my routine to accomodate pet care. I can't currently have pets in my home, but I've cared for pets multiple times in their own homes, and provide quality and loving care.

Kaitlin W.
“Finding a truly dedicated pet sitter/walker is rare—but Kaitlin is one of a kind! I have known Katie for over 20 years and her love and dedication to animals has always been remarkable. In highschool, she watched our family yorkiepoo for us while we went on vacation. Years ago, she watched our family minpin for us. She raised her own Westie for 13 years, ensuring it was well cared for and truly part of the family. Currently, Katie is raising an 8-month-old Westie, Nigel. Anyone who entrusts their furry companion to Katie, can be sure their pet will receive the same devotion and attention that she's always given her own.”

Rosalin M.
“To Whom It May Concern, My name is Stefanie, and I have had the pleasure of knowing Rosalin for over 15 years. Throughout our friendship, one thing has always stood out—her deep love and compassion for animals. She has always treated her pets like family, caring for them as if they were her own children. Rosalin currently has two dogs, and even after the heartbreaking loss of one of her beloved pets a few years ago, she has continued to provide a loving and nurturing home for her animals. Her dedication never wavers, no matter what life brings her way. Rosalin is someone you can truly depend on. She is kind, responsible, and always willing to lend a helping hand. If I ever needed anything, I know I could count on her without hesitation. Her commitment extends to her professional life as well—she takes her responsibilities seriously and always follows through. Given her genuine love for animals, her reliability, and her nurturing nature, I believe Rosalin would be an excellent candidate for any role as a dog walker or pet sitter. Anyone who leaves their pet in her care can rest easy knowing they are in kind and capable hands.”
Tikvah C.
“Tikvah has cared for my two cats multiple times while I've gone on vacation. I always ask her to come back because she does an amazing job! Tikvah clearly loves animals and stays for extra time to play with my cats even though I don't require her to do so. She is very trustworthy, always shows up when she's supposed to, and follows feeding/care instructions very well. I definitely recommend her as a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
