About: Growing up with 4 dogs, I’ve been taking care of them as long as I can remember. Whether I’m sitting for neighbors, friends, family, (anyone!) I always will treat your pets like my own. I additionally have experience with senior dogs and puppies. I currently am in esthetician school from 9-4, leaving my mornings, evenings, and weekends open to give some love to pets stuck at home! I’m excited to give some attention to your fur babies! I can give food, refresh water, administer medicine, play, easily crate, and walk your dogs in order for them to be as comfortable as possible.

About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to take great care of their fur babies and I have always loved doing so! No dog is too big or too small I currently work full time mostly night shifts so my obscure schedule will allow to me to do late night or early morning pet sitting ! I can always try to accommodate to some day sitting. I can easily learn feeding and walking schedules. I have experience giving vitamins/medications. If your fur baby needs any special care I am happy to help.

“Morgan (and Savannah) took great care of Rosie! I’ve never used Rover before but knew she was in great hands while we were out of town. I would recommend Morgan to anyone and will definitely be rebooking in the future!”


About: We have been watching dogs for over 10 years now and have been the “go to” person for excellent dog care. We began when we were both 13 watching friend’s dogs while they left for extended vacations. We’ve watched dogs for 4 months while the family moved down south temporarily. We have also been trained with multiple sizes and breeds of dogs as well as many ages of dogs. We both were working as part time dog walker/sitters in Chicago while we attended school. I (Isaac) have owned three dogs in my lifetime. I have owned a golden retriever, a golden lab, and a golden retriever/lab mix. We both are available in the evenings and on Saturdays. Special skills would be keeping your dog entertained and loved. We take our job seriously and want to ensure the greatest safety when watching dogs! I only work at most 7 hours a day for 5 days a week. I have a wife who stays at home and is willing to take over when needed. She also has 10 years of experience with dogs and is a certified dog walker. I have a standard golden doodle which we keep on a fairly strict schedule. We make sure he gets tons of rest, make sure he eats what he needs to eat, and exercise the amount required for his breed and age. We always make sure that objects in the house that could potentially be of harm to him are kept away and if we do have to leave the house, he always is put inside his kennel after being let out to use the restroom. We always have save time throughout the day to train and time to play. I have a part time job on the side so if I cannot be there to care for the dogs during their set schedules my wife is also a certified rover sitter. Our main priority is to take care of our clients animals and make sure they stick with their schedules! We always make sure they are given proper amounts of food, water, and of course daily exercise and mind exercises. This of course varies on the dog, but we like to stick with our clients recommendations on how they like to keep their dogs healthy.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life, always feeding, walking, and loving them. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention. I am currently working a hospice job & working at a restaurant. I’m looking to do something in my free time involving something I love! In my home, pets get safe, loving care with walks, play, and cuddles. In yours, I follow routines exactly, ensuring comfort, happiness, and trust every visit.

“I'm so glad to have found Mirette to housesit for my two dogs! It makes me feel better knowing that I have someone I can trust with my home and my fur babies. I've used Mirette several times now and highly recommend her.”


“Just had Reuben look after my two senior dogs, good meet and just returned home from my four day trip. Received photographs of dogs throughout trip with updates. Reuben did a great job looking after my two dogs, would not hesitate in using him again. Looked after my place as well as looking after the dogs. Highly recommend Reuben to anyone looking for walking or sitting!!!”
