We needed a couple of drop-ins for our boys who can be quite a handful. Jamie was fantastic! From the meet and greet through the drop ins, she was courteous, professional, and so good with our pups. They seemed very happy to have her around and we're so glad we found her!

Ola was a wonderful cat sitter, especially for my older cat who requires special attention and insulin injections. She handled everything with great care and confidence. I truly appreciated her reliability and how comfortable she made me feel knowing my cats were in good hands. Highly recommend! :)

About: I’ve taken care of several small/medium sized dogs including a basset hound, jack russell terrier, Doberman, and walrus dog. Currently have one dog with my wife living in a 2 bedroom apt. I work a full time job, but am typically home between 5 pm - 9 am. My apt complex has a small dog park that I take my dog to so she can play, and one empty room in the apartment complex with very little furniture so the dogs can play. I take my dog for walks everyday, and like to play with her inside with the many toys we have. I also bathe her and cut her nails so I am experienced in interacting closely with dogs

About: Animal lover and caring sitter. I have had A lifetime cat mother to adventurous, curious, scared, determined, misbehaving, chatty, quiet and ferocious felines. Kitten, puppy, elder, and medication experience. No stranger to cat nip and tennis balls. I am currently part-time and make my own schedule, so am available for your pet care needs. I also drive so it is easier for me to get to locations that are a bit father from me. I make sure to give the pet their own room when they are staying at my house. I limit interactions with my own pets, because I don't want to stress anyone out. I make sure to give pets in their homes the same exact comfort and care that they are allowed. I make sure to follow owners instructions, and keep them safe and calm.

About: I have experience in both dog walking as a paid position and in taking care of our family dog. I have experience in senior care and dogs with special needs (deafness, autoimmune disease, etc). I have additional experience with high energy dogs (example: Belgian Malinois). Furthermore, I have experience in overnight week-long pet sitting. I have a very flexible schedule with availability during typical work hours, weekends and holidays. I am more than happy to help out in early mornings! I am always mindful when walking to stay away from busy roads and prioritize pet safety. I am also able to pet sit at an owner’s home, although due to my family’s senior dog am unable to board pets.

About: Our family has cared for many friend's & family pets and hope to continue for years to come! We experience so much joy and love caring for and spending time with animals. Our children have learned invaluable lessons from helping to care for pets, and really bond with all animals in our care. Our services include daily/weekly boarding, dog walks or daily sits. Last minute requests are no problem, and we keep our calendar updated. My job is hybrid, so I’m pretty flexible, including weekends. My wife works from home full time. So an adult is usually home during the week. Whether its dog sits or walks at a client’s home or our home, there’s no hesitation about our ability to accommodate our clients’ needs. We have an ideal set up for dogs - as our backyard is fully fenced-in (8' secure fence), with pretty of grass to roll around in & have fun. Additionally, there are 2 large parks & 2 dog parks within walking distance. Our house has a good layout for pets as well, and we have gates that can secure different areas if needed.

She sent videos during her visit and we could tell our doggie was having fun. It was so comforting to receive videos and photos that showed us our dog was happy while we were away. We will definitely work with NaBeela again - highly recommend!!!

About: I used to volunteer in the kennels at West Suburban Humane Society in Downers Grove. I have fostered over 70 dogs and puppies from area rescues including Peace for Pits, Chicagoland Bully Breed, Forget Me Not Rescue and others. Your dog will be treated like a member of my family. I have a 5 ft and 6 ft cedar fenced in double lot in Brookfield. Please contact me for more information! I am currently unemployed. Otherwise I’m home a majority of the time with my 1 dog. I needed to be gone for a long amount of time, my fiancé is home for potty breaks and meal breaks. Daily walks given. If it’s for in home boarding, I have a ring doorbell and Arlo cameras. My dog isn’t allowed outside alone for extended periods of time. Trust and safety is my concern. I have prior law enforcement experience as well.

I had to search for a last minute companion for my daughter's dog and Yani just happened to be available. I cannot express how blessed I feel that I chose Yani. She definitely is beyond a blessing to my daughter's dog Bowser and we both feel so grateful for the love and care that she has shown him. I will continue to use Yani for any services, and I even booked her for my own dog. Incredible is an understatement, she is by far one of the best dog lovers I have met on here ❤

I can't say enough great things about Malchom! We love having him take care of our dog, Juneberry. It is clear that he is a true professional with a deep love for animals. Malchom is always punctual, reliable, and incredibly attentive to Juneberry's needs. Not only does Malchom ensure that Juneberry gets plenty of exercise and mental stimulation during their walks, but he also goes the extra mile to make sure she feels loved and cared for. It’s evident that Malchom has a genuine passion for dogs and is dedicated to providing the best care possible. I feel completely at ease knowing that Juneberry is in such capable hands. I highly recommend Malchom to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.
