“Noel was amazing! It was our first time leaving our puppy with someone during the day. He was so excited to see her every morning. We cannot recommend Noel enough. Will be using her in the future!!!!”
“Jesus answered my early morning request and was able to accommodate us while visiting the city. My dog seemed happy and I appreciated the picture and communication. Will definitely use him again!”
“Jesseeka is so sweet and amazing! She watched my 4 month year old and kept me updated all day. She sent pictures and videos keeping me in the loop. My puppy had a great time!”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Currently, I care for two of my own—Sparky, my sweet 13-year-old Bichon Frise, and Shelby, my playful 1-year-old Miniature Goldendoodle. Having both a senior dog and a young, energetic pup has given me a wide range of hands-on experience, from managing health needs and gentle senior care to keeping up with puppy energy, training, and teething phases. In the past, I also cared for an American Pitbull Terrier for 5 years, and over the years I’ve looked after many dogs for friends, neighbors, and family members. Some of the breeds I’ve worked with include Chihuahuas, Beagles, Golden Retrievers, Pomeranians, and a variety of lovable mixes. Every dog is unique, and I truly enjoy getting to know each one’s personality and quirks. Whether they’re shy or outgoing, young or elderly, I’m patient, gentle, and always happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I’m usually available Monday through Friday, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to walk, play with, and care for your pup. Whether they need a midday stroll, some company while you’re away, or just a little extra love and attention, I’m happy to be there for them. I’m home often, so I’m able to keep a close eye on the dogs and make sure they’re always safe and cared for. While my yard is open and unfenced, I never leave dogs outside unattended—they’re always on a leash and supervised, with access to a sunny, enclosed sunroom for extra comfort. For smaller dogs, I have a crate available if preferred by the owner, and I’m also able to provide transport in case of a vet emergency. My home is stocked with cozy blankets and toys that are always available for dogs to borrow and enjoy. Located in a quiet, beautiful area, the home offers plenty of space to explore, bird- and squirrel-watching opportunities, and nearby parks for peaceful outings. The spacious living room and multiple rooms allow for safe separation if needed, ensuring every dog feels comfortable. Most of all, your pup will enjoy peace, safety, and lots of love while in my care.
“Kaneishia was amazing!! She sent pictures and updates multiple times throughout the day. She genuinely cared and loved my puppy like it was her own. I will be rebooking with her!”
About: Feel free to message me about availability. I am a lifelong pet owner and pet lover. I've had large and small dogs, cats, lizards and birds. I currently have 2 dogs, Coco and Lando and a cat named Giblet. I've cared for pets for friends and relatives for many years & thought I would branch out to Rover. I believe that pets are part of our families and in treating them with the kindness and attention that they deserve. I know that pet parents know their fur-babies best and all instructions will be followed. Your pet's well being and comfort is my #1 priority. I work days - Monday through Friday. I have some early morning availability as well as late afternoon/evening and weekends. I will try to be as flexible as possible. I enjoy finding new enrichment games to keep my dogs busy and incorporating training on their walks. I can drop in for potty breaks, walks, feedings, medicine or just play and cuddle time.
“Alicia was AMAZING! She was able to take my Ace for daycare on short notice and he had THE BEST time. She provided picture updates throughout the day too! Would 100% recommend her”
About: I began working with dogs (as well as a variety of animals from snakes, ferrets, rabbits, small mammals, birds/parrots etc.) back in 2009 as a kennel technician for a large corporate company. There I worked closely with vets where I skillfully learned how to perform tasks such as nail trims, ear cleaning, anal gland expression, administration of oral medications, how to give injectable and nasal vaccinations, microchipping, recognizing pain/illness, and basic animal care. With me, your pets will not only be well taken care of, but he or she will be cared for by someone who has been trained on how to work with diverse dog breeds of all ages and temperaments. Due to a recent layoff, I am currently home full-time. That means that when your pet stays with me they will spend very little time alone, get plenty of potty breaks, lots of play time, daily walks, and of course lots of attention. All boarding stays require a meet and greet at my home to ensure that me and my pets are a good match for you and your pet. Since I do have multiple pets in the home I am unable to accommodate free feeding, however, any other type of food or medication schedule can be accommodated without issue. I am a big advocate for training and will happily respect and maintain any training or boundaries that you have for your dog while they are in my care. I can also work on things such as leash manners, door darting, counter surfing, begging, jumping, basic commands, etc. at your request. With owning two huskies, and having previous boards have accidents on my bed/furniture, I do not allow pet on my furniture. However, for their comfort I do keep several dog beds around the house for them to lay on at their leisure. During drops-ins and/or walks I am more than happy to play a game of tug or fetch or anything else your dogs likes. Just let me know what your pup seems to enjoy and I can incorporate that.
About: I have had pets for 40 years and taken care of others' pets for 30 years. I am a reliable, peppy, retired teacher and counselor. Currently I have open availability. I am retired and want to build my pet/home sitting business. I welcome any and all requests for pet or home sitting as I build my business. I do not have any pets of my own. I lost my precious kitty last year and am not ready to add a new pet to my home. I do however have 3 grand kitties and 3 granddogs that I take care of and walk. As a caregiver to your pet I can provide focused attention to your pet. I do not have a fenced yard but am ready, willing and able to provide excellent walks for your pet.
About: I love to spend time with them , I like to play with them, I like to take them to the park. I will always keep them on a leash. I can teach them some tricks, sit , stay roll over. I can take them out every two hours, to go potty. I can keep them over night. I took care of a one eye cat, I took care of a blind dog. I have had dogs in diapers. I took care of a Yorkshire, who was pregnant, she went into labor at my house, and my mom and I delivered three little babies they came out every forty minutes. We help clean the babies, and my dog Chuckie helped to. Give them kisses, hugs.
“Sandra was so calm and easy to work with. Took in on Silver lab for the day and provided great feedback he was enjoying his doggie daycare. Would use her again for sure. Thank you Sandra!”
About: We have two male resident dogs & have been fostering thru South Suburban Humane Society for the last 5 years. We offer in home boarding & being a SAHM to school aged kids I am available during the day to walk/transport, etc. I'm a SAHM to school aged kids so I am home and available most days/times. We have two resident dogs so someone's always around the house any how because of them. We have a fenced yard & two playful dogs. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture & snuggle all day.

Laura got her own dog Herkie (Hercules) Because he believe he could do anything like a Huskey. (which he could't).Herkie did live to be nineteen yrs. old.
