Dog Sitting in Schiller Park

About: I’ve often been told I’m a bit of a “dog whisperer” because pups seem to gravitate toward me, and I think it’s because they can sense my genuine love for animals. I’ve been a dog lover since childhood, growing up with 4 family dogs, and that passion has only grown over the years. I recently cared for my own senior pomeranian, who lived to 18, so I understand the patience, gentleness, and extra attention that senior pups need. On the other end of the spectrum, I know the energy and consistency it takes to care for playful puppies. Right now, I share my home with two spoiled rescue dogs, Chico (chihuahua) and Squeaks (tripod Pomeranian) who remind me daily how much joy and comfort pets bring into our lives and family. I have taught my dogs how to sit, stay, down, shake, come, and spin. So maybe I can even teach your dog some new tricks :) I also know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member at home. My goal is to be their bright spot while you’re away, whether that’s a walk, a potty break, or simply some kisses, belly rubs, and companionship. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own! I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule to fit in drop-ins, potty breaks, quick walks (10-15) min, kisses and belly rubs during the day while you are away! Right now I only offer drop-ins, potty breaks, and quick walks for your furry babies. I do not offer any home services at my personal residence. If any service is requested outside of the normal services offered, I would be happy to help and discuss prior to my drop-in visit.

“Aine was responsible and took wonderful care of our dog Max. We knew he was in great hands and didn’t have to worry. We will definitely hire Aine again! Kathryn G.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes and personalities through family, friends, and personal experience. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every dog has different needs and comfort levels. I enjoy making walks enjoyable and stress-free by letting dogs explore at their own pace while keeping them safe. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules or an instructions given by the owner, giving lots of playtime and attention. I have experience is walking dogs with different energy levels. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, playful, or older and slower-paced, I’ll make sure they receive patient and personalized care. I love taking pictures of dogs, you will receive many from me if I get to go on a walk with your pet. Also I would love to know your dogs birthday because I think our pets birthdays are so important and should be celebrated! I’m currently going to be in the Chicago area for the summer starting June 1st- August 1st. At this time I will be available every weekday at any time. And weekends if needed! I have a fenced in yard where the dog will be safe. In your home I will ask for specific instructions and anything you believe I should know to be fully prepared to care for your pet in your home.

About: Hello there! My name is Alyssa Murphy, Aly for short. I myself, have been a dog owner of an adorable malti-pin named Cobi, for 9 years now. I have also owned two cats beforehand and raised abandoned kittens to health, ensuring they were going to proper homes that would appreciate and take care of them. How does this relate to you? Well, I will guarantee to be that same type of home I would of chose for those rescued kittens. That home-away-from-home for your pup, the home I would look for if I needed a dog sitter. No matter if he/she likes to jump around and play, or just likes to relax on the couch, I’m the girl for the job. Your pup will feel highly appreciated and taken care of at the end of the day, and so will you! Any inquires, please feel free to message.

My house is always kept clean and tidy. Since I have a dog myself (that likes to get into things) there isn’t much left out for him to grab. I live on my own, so I can also adjust according to your pet. I’m always willing to play, walk, and give attention as much as needed/wanted!

About: My family has rescued animals my whole life, and I have worked with all kinds of animals professionally since my very first job at a dog groomer. Since then, I've spent most of my time working at emergency animal vets, with foster dogs, and at doggie daycare! I love working with all species of animals and will treat yours just like my own! I'm here to make sure your pets feel happy, loved, and safe while you're away. I currently have a pretty open schedule and am looking to care for pets full time. I can easily do late nights and early mornings! When I stay in your home, I stick closely to your pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I'll make sure they're fed on time, exercised, and getting lots of attention (and cuddles if they want them!) I pay close attention to each pet's needs and act accordingly. I pride myself on being dependable and having strong communication skills. I will always keep you updated with messages and pictures so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: Since I was 3 I've been living with dogs. But having a dog that was actually mine, I was six and my mom bought the family a female Pomeranian for Christmas. Then from there our love of animals grew. at one time we had two Pomeranians and a German Shepard. I would walk them, feed and water them. And give them all the attention and love I could supply. I also would take care of my aunt and uncles dogs while they were gone, which sometimes included me to give oral medicine to their senior dog.

I can also do nail trimmings and bathing I have a special dog shampoo that I know they’ll love and make them smell great and the thing I have to offer the most to your pup is unconditional love!

“This was our second time having April and she was just as phenomenal as the first time. Foremost, our dog adores her which gives us tremendous peace. Also, her communication is great, she is always timely, sends lots of pictures, and is just a genuinely sweet person all around. She even made sure to leave the TV on for Benny and brought in our mail and packages. We are super grateful for April and hope she will be available in the future for our sweet Benny. Thank you so much, April!”

“Rhianna goes above and beyond! She will care for your pets as if they are her own. She plays with them, give them loves and snuggles, even teaches them tricks! I would highly recommend her to anyone and will continue using her for as long as she’s available.”

“Joshua was excellent to work with! He sent picture updates every day and even brought his own laser pointer to play with the cats. We were so glad to leave Skamp and Oats in such good care. He also came and did a pre-visit with us to meet the kittens first. I am a bit of a helicopter first time cat mom and Joshua far exceeded my expectations and followed our somewhat over the top instructions with ease! Re: new automated litter box. :)”

I would love your pet just like my own.
