About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10-11 with having my two fur babies myself. I absolutely love to take care of dogs, I’d say I’d have the magic touch! I will always ensure your dog is well taken care of as well as staying alert for stress or odd behavior. I can follow any instructions to a T! Your pups care is my top priority! Im currently working part time while doing school so I got all the time for your babies! I’m mainly available during the days up until 1PM but on my off days I’m open all day and night ! Assuring that your pup is a-okay at all time, dog mom myself so I’m always alert. Making sure pup is entertained and taking potty breaks or walks as normal of course as well as making sure home is safe and clean !




17. Stella G.


“Accepted last minute with two dogs she didn’t get to meet beforehand (one being only 8 months with a lot of energy). She did an awesome job. Great communication. Prompt updates and adjusting with requests on the fly. Will be using again.”


18. Christy W.

“We have had Christy walk our dogs a couple of times now and she always takes great care of Finn and Merlin. She has been a great help.”




19. Sarah G.
“Admittedly I have known Sarah for many years, but this does not affect my opinion on her interest in becoming a dog caregiver. Before she moved Sarah would watch my two dogs, a senior golden retriever and a 3 year old rottweiler, while I was at work. Since she was my neighbor at the time I would leave a key for her under the mat (with full trust and faith) so she could feed the dogs and let them out. There were times when I would just let the dogs stay at her home to play with her dogs. She is an extremely friendly girl with a constant smile who clearly loves animals. If she was still in Rolling Meadows I would absolutely pay for her services.”


20. Madison D.
About: Hello! My name is Madison, and I am a recent graduate of Grant Community High School. My background in animal care has grown from working with various pets, including my puppers: Rex and Sadie! I’m no stranger to energetic pups, especially with my rambunctious Labradors. From raising kittens in my elementary years to interning for Dr.Rudawski at the Fox Lake animal hospital, I have found my passion for providing care to animals of all shapes and sizes. If you're seeking a bubbly caregiver with a vibrant personality for your beloved pets, look no further. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry friends! I’m currently working part-time at my local ice cream shop, so I will have plenty of time to play and cuddle with your furry friends. Being the Nature lover that I am, I enjoy taking the sightseeing route when I walk my dogs. I am experienced in providing medication to dogs if necessary.
