About: I have 15+ years animal experience from the vet office to my own personal business. I have worked with numerous trainers and animal groups to get the most experience I can. I absolutely love animals and just love being able to help people and spend my days with dogs. I have 2 boys and a little girl and they just love the animal life as well! I am living in Marengo and I am available to do dog boarding, doggie daycare, and drop in visits! Let me know what I can help you with! If you have any special requests please ask so I can meet your needs the best I can! I hope to hear from you soon! Thank you and woof woof!! 😃 😃 I am a stay at home mom to 3 kids so I am able to accommodate your pet’s needs and be home all day with them! I absolutely love taking care of animals and it just comes second nature. I will travel to your home to care for or walk your pet. I always treat all animals as I do my own! Pets are family members!
About: I have loved all animals since childhood. Cared for my dog from puppyhood to happy old age. I love walking, so your pets will get plenty of movement with me, rain or shine. Expect me to get to know your specific furry friend, because I welcome all personalities and sizes. I work part time in the evenings from 1-8 pm and once a week from 10 am - 3 pm. If you book with me, I will always let you know what my work schedule is and I will do my best to never let a full 8 hours go by without a potty break. If allowed, I'm happy to take them to the park and definitely expect me to bribe them for love with treats. Your pet can expect the best care in my hands, it's always a pleasure looking after your furry friend. I will follow your preferences to a T. However you care for your pet at home, I will do my very best to emulate that same level of care, or even elevate it by showering them with extra affection.
About: I have 3 large dogs of my own so I am no newbie to walking big pups! I absolutely love all dogs and am lucky to have the summers off to give them long walks and provide much needed potty breaks! I am off for the summer (June - August) so weekdays at anytime work for me. I also am free to cover while you go on vacations :) I am extra cautious with our fur babies and their safety, happiness, and well-being is of utmost importance When I am in a client’s home or backyard, I am always sure to check the environment so ensure it is safe for pets (i.e. fence is locked, no small pieces around for choking, water available, etc).
About: I am a pediatric nurse. I have close to 10 years of dog and cat experience through family pets and recently a diabetic dog named Dexter (has since passed away) I have experience providing oral and injectable medications for dogs. I work three 12-hour shifts per week but each week varies. However, I have flexibility in choosing what days I want to work. I'm typically up at 5am for work so if you need to drop your pet off early or need early check ins I'm available! I live in a single family home with wife. We have safety gates and crates in our home for when we have to step out of the house. I will separate our dog from other dogs if necessary. Food is always kept in a safe spot that no dog can get into. Our subdivision is surrounded by open fields so there are plenty of areas to walk. The backyard is large and fenced in. Fence does not have slats so next door dogs do not have a way in unless we want them for playtime. I walk our dog multiple times a day for potty breaks/exercise. I always walk our dog with a leash and will do so with other dogs. I love to snuggle and play with dogs and will do so with yours! I am happy to meet in advance to discuss any needs required and to make sure I am the best fit for your dog! As a dog parent I understand that dogs are a member of the family that require special care. I want to provide the best, stress-free care for your pup. I can check in as often as you request and will provide pictures and updates throughout the service.
About: I have tons of experience with dogs and cats! I worked at a dog breeder/kennel(My Bodyguard German Shepards) for almost 5 years, here I cared for multiple dogs at a time and even helped train the puppies. I have trained both of my dogs a rottweiler and Saint Bernard. I am a HUGE animal lover and feel as though I am very good with both cats and dogs. I have housesat/dogsat for many of my family friends in the past. I am currently home from school and am on summer break so my schedule is pretty open/flexible. I can for the most part work any day/time of the week. I make sure to always put the animal's safety first, and I'm very good at reading their body language and knowing how to handle any situation.
About: Dogs are a gift from heaven. I have a gift of love for dogs. My dogs mean the world to me. They are everything. When ever I see someone walking their dog I say hi to the dog! I am patient and caring. I believe dogs need that because just like us they have feelings and triggers. I understand each dog is different and I will most certainly adapt to your dogs needs. And of course give plenty of snoot kisses. I am the type of dog lover to lay on the ground with your dog, have conversations and send plenty of pictures and updates to you 🧡 I work a part time job from 5am to 10am. And the rest of the day is for the dogs and whatever they need! Frequent potty breaks and long walks I have a fenced in yard and a 7 year old boxer Shepard mix who loves to play. My dog and any dog are allowed on furniture unless you suggest otherwise. I love to walk or wven run long distance. My doggo baylee and I love to 8 miles most days.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, big and small! Currently I own two small dogs and a Golden Retriever! They are my whole world, I walk, play, train, and love them day in and day out. Dogs are my favorite animals and it would be a blessing to be able to provide, love and care for anyone’s dog! My availability ranges each day with school when it comes down to how long potty breaks would be, but besides that I would be available consistently throughout the day! I’m highly organized, caring, loving and athletic! I love the outdoors and being active so walking, running, or jogging with your dog wouldn’t be a problem! I also wouldn’t mind bringing the dog with for car rides being able to take it too different conservations and atmospheres for walks!

I personally own a Doberman named Diesel who is the sweetest thing, I’m able to drop her off at my parents when I’m needed for in home house sitting over night in your home.

About: My name is Brandi and I am a stay at home mom. I have a 6yr old son and have been happily married for 14yrs. We have an Australian shepherd named Gary. I grew up with cats and dogs my whole life. For 15+ years I was a home daycare provider and nanny which means I also took care of many family pets, and that was the bonus to my job! I love all those furry babies. I live in downtown Huntley. I promise to love and take the best care of your furry loved ones. I know they are a member of they family and deserve the very best care. And they will get that from me. Put your trust in me. They won't be disappointed and neither will you.
About: Since a child, I have been trusted to watch, walk, and care for neighbors and friends dogs. I still care for my friends and families dogs. I grew into loving the difficult dogs, training lots of different sports and dog behavior. I love seniors/special needs who just need some TLC. Puppies are my absolute favorite. I enjoy the bond and training from the start. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom looking to start working again and thought this would be a great fit due to my passion with animals. I have a flexible schedule and am available to board most days. Dogs will be given love and attention, play, walks, really whatever they are into or owner needs. My own crew loves to swim in our pool, play frisbee or fetch the chuck-it. I have 3 custom built in crates that are massively oversized. I can keep dogs separate from my own or integrate. I absolutely love working with puppies and dogs and exposing them to new fun things!
About: I live in an apartment and am unable to keep a pet due to the lease conditions. This has left me with a hole in my heart for connection with pets. I would adore the opportunity to spend time with your pet and care for them. Growing up, we had a yellow Labrador Retriever named Sandy who I felt was the best dog we could possibly have asked for. I trained her, taught her tricks, and played with her almost constantly. In more recent years, I took care of Daisy who was a medium sized mixed breed with spunk. She belonged to an ex-partner and I cared for her as if she was my own. She needed lots of stimulation and outlet for energy as well; we had multiple walks a day and it was fun to see her solving playful challenges I made. I grew up around rabbits that I adored, and even dressed them up in my doll’s clothes! My sister and I later raised rabbits for several years. We brought them everywhere we could and had special harnesses and leashes to walk them around the neighborhood or pet store, etc. They also liked to run around our backyard with our dog. I am comfortable around cats, hairless or not! I allow them to approach me, rather than crowd their space. When they want to, I love cuddling with cats and feeling them purr. I have usually cared for multiple cats at once. Although I have never lived with a cat, I am confident in caring for them and interacting with them. Staying late at the office? Let me stop by to feed, pet, play with, and exercise your pet. No time in the early mornings or during lunch? Let me take the time you wish you had to care for them. While my own home is not pet friendly, I am happy to visit yours. If your pet has a routine and schedule they are on, I want to keep that seamlessly running for you. If your pet is adventurous, I want to keep them engaged.
About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was 17. I’ve owned 4 dogs at one point. I have raised two litters of cats. I currently have one dog and one cat! I love animals and would love to help you give love to yours! Rover is my full time job so I am available! I will give your loved ones undivided attention!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for 18 years, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I owned a successful pet sitting business in Texas for 7 years before returning home to Palatine. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with their fur babies for walks, feeding, medication administration, and overnight care. I treat every pet like my own and send regular photo updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! I’m available for dog walking on weekdays (mornings and afternoons), boarding on weekends, and weekday evening drop-in visits. I can accommodate last-minute requests when possible and am happy to work around your schedule. Whether you need daily walks, vacation care, or regular check-ins, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention and exercise they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. For boarding, I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can play safely, and my two friendly, well-socialized dogs provide great companionship for social pups. If your dog prefers alone time or needs to be the only dog, I can easily accommodate that with separate spaces and one-on-one attention. For in-home visits at your place, I follow your house rules exactly, keep doors/gates secured, and never allow pets outside off-leash unless you’ve specifically requested it. I’m experienced with crate training, feeding schedules, and medication administration. I always send photo/video updates so you have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe and happy. I live in Palatine with my grandmother in a pet-friendly home where your pet will be treated like family.
About: I have taken care of mine and friends dogs over the years. I currently have three dogs and three cats of my own! My house has kind of always been a zoo so I have a lot of experience!
