“We have been consistently using Beverly since our pup was 3 months old. Beverly does weekly walks for us as well as daycare and overnight stays. Charley loves her Beverly and she has quickly become part of our family.”

About: Hi! I’m Chloe, and I’ve been around animals my whole life from tiny toy poodles (which I currently own) to powerful cane corsos. My father bred Dogo Argentino puppies, so I learned as a young girl how to handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments with patience, love, and confidence. I’ve personally owned toy poodles, yorkies, dogo argentinos, and a cane corso, as well as two cats and currently own several reptiles. I’ve groomed dogs at home, regularly donate to my local animal shelters, and have cared for the pets of family and friends for years. Whether it’s a quick drop-in for a potty break and some playtime, or just keeping your dog company while you’re away, I treat every animal as if they’re my own—gentle, reliable, I will be sure your dog gets plenty of mental stimulation, exercise, and play! I have plenty of toys and treats for your furry baby and will be careful for always with love. I’m currently looking for a job with animals before starting my journey at my university but I currently have a lot of free time on my hands and would love to spend it with your pets! I have a big spacious home and fenced back yard, as well as plenty of outdoor space for your pet to run around in! As well as a small poodle to give your pet plenty of company.

“Sara's been taking our two pups on daily walks for us. She's great with the dogs, great about communicating walk times, and flexible when we need to switch things up. I couldn't recommend her more!”


About: I’ve Taken care of and trained over dozens of animals in over 6 years. I was an assistant pet trainer/groomer at a dog kennel. And volunteer for several animal shelters. I love taking care of animals of all kind, but specifically cats and dogs! I’m currently working part time remotely, so I’ll have a lot of time to make sure you pet is loved and cared for! I have a cat of my own and I always make sure she’s happy and healthy! I like to take walks 2-3 times a day so I don’t mind making sure your fur baby has had plenty of potty breaks. I live in a gated community with a fence separating me from my neighbors. I also have a huge backyard and plenty of space to keep your animals active and happy. I also love taking walks and having outside time. They deserve to have fun and enjoy their day too!

About: I grew up with dogs - my Afghan, Kesha, was my first best friend and how I learned to braid (lol). I've cared for Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, Cockers, and Min Pins. I've dog-sat and cat-sat for family and neighbors for years, and now my daughters and I are ready to open our peaceful home and fenced yard to pets needing love while their people are away. Our house has a crate, a basement space, and plenty of tail-wagging energy. Dogs aren't just welcome here, they're remembered forever. I'm currently home during the day with a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time, space, and love to offer pets who need calm, consistent care while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my routine and brings so much joy into our home. I approach every client's home with the same respect. I would want someone to have in mine. I've worked in private homes as a section 8 inspector, a home care aide, and an insurance rep, so I'm comfortable operating professionally in someone else's space. I follow all house rules, keep things clean, and ensure pets feel safe and at ease while you're away. We live in a pet-friendly neighborhood. My daughters and I often take walks around the neighborhood, so any pet we care for will get the benefit of fresh air, familiar sights, and friendly energy. We have a peaceful, fenced yard, a crate if needed, and a quiet, unoccupied basement space for rest or separation when appropriate. I'm very aware of animal behavior, neighbor pets, and how to make pets feel safe and seen. This is a calm, kid-friendly, and pet-loving home.

About: I’ve been a dog mom for 10 years. Lost my baby in 2021 and every pup I’ve met since shared an immense amount of love, almost like they could sense my grief. I feel like I owe them everything and its my goal to give love to every pup I meet and maybe one day I’ll be ready to be a dog mom again. I am a freelance artist so my schedule is very flexible. The wedding season usually picks up in May but I only work weekend nights. I live in a quiet area with low traffic and a few close parks. I’m also next door to a police station so the are is also very safe. I have concrete floors so it’s okay if your fur baby is still potty training or up in years.

About: I grew up in a home where we treat our dogs as family. I've cared for 4 dogs separately in my life time, 3 of which were via my parents home and one of which on my own in my first apartment in Chicago IL. Dogs almost never miss a beat with approaching you with so much love & joy when you come home and so I feel I should only do the same with how I care for them; i.e making sure their dishes are clean that they receive enough walks & play time for the day, that they also receive treats not just for good behavior but just because they're wonderful. My specialty is communicating with him or her of their needs and servicing them to satisfactory.

Darcelle M.
“Darcelle is great with all animals and has a special talent for getting them to trust her. She pays attention to detail so no matter what instructions you leave her regarding medication, health or play instructions, she balanced everything perfectly. My pet seemed happier at the end of the day, and I never had to worry about her well-being or safety because she updated me via text often. She’s great!”


Marya K.

“Marya did a great job walking our dog while one of us was away for a month. She was totally reliable and let us know how Jasper did on his walks. Thank you Marya!”


Marquez J.
“Marquez is great with animals. I have a 3 year old Cane Corso that is in general not friendly. However, Marquez has been able to win her affections. Even though she doesn’t see him regularly, she still almost does back flips when he comes around. She obeys him and follows him with her tail wagging the entire time he’s around. This is significant because there are others that come around with more regularity and have not been able to get this type of reaction from my dog. Marquez certainly has the magic touch.”
