About: I have had dogs for over 30 years, including a Dalmatian, American Eskimo, and Australian Shepherd-all high energy dogs. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family when they’ve gone on vacation. I am a calm, caring, and active person who will love your dog like my own. I teach part time in the morning, every other day. Other than that, I have plenty of time to take your dog on walks, play ball, and feed them. I have a fenced in yard, quiet neighborhood, and plenty of dog toys to keep your puppy/dog happy. I also have a two year old Australian shepherd that can be a playmate to other friendly dogs if the dogs are socialized. In case of bad weather, we have plenty of room in our house to accommodate another dog.

About: I treat every pet like family. I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and quirks so they feel safe, loved, and understood while you're away.

Whether it’s going the extra mile for a nervous pup or making sure a senior pet gets their meds on time, I show up with care, patience, and a big heart.

About: Hello! I'm new to Rover, so please bare with me as I develop this profile. I have a bachelor's in finance, and am looking to leave the corporate life behind for a more meaningful career. I'm currently looking to build a book of business around pet walks and sitting as I work on my e-commerce start-up business. I'm located in Albany Park in a 2 bedroom apt that has a fenced yard surrounding the building. I have a 55 lbs German Shepherd mix along with 2 cats aged 5 and 13. All three are, surprisingly, social and enjoy traveling to visit my family over the holidays. I have a reliable car, so I'm able to assist with pick-up and drop-off for an extra charge. Do you need a service that isn't listed? Feel free to message me, and I'm very willing to help out in those other areas. Thank you for checking out my profile and have a lovely day.

Tanya W.
“Tanya is an excellent pet sitter. Responsible, caring, treats each pet as her own. She is able to handle multiple dogs, with differing medications at different times of day. She can housesit for longer periods of time, which for me was essential. I arranged for her to come 'visit' the dogs several times, prior to house-sitting, so the dogs would get to know her, and she would get to know each of the 5 mini dachshunds I have. It was a great investment of time for both of us. I felt confident in her abilities, and the dogs had grown to know who she was, which made the transition from my care to her care relatively smooth.”
Kristi K.
“Kristi was super friendly and took fantastic care of my dog!! Very responsive to messages and provided updates on each visit. Would happily recommend her!”
Leah B.
“Leah has cared for both of my doggos and does a great job! She's come to my house to babysit while I'm out of town and I felt better knowing someone was there with my babies all the time. She also cared for my senior dog before he crossed the rainbow bridge. He was on daily medications and had physical limitations due to age and arthritis. I highly recommend Leah, both of my hounds absolutely love her!”
