About: For several years, I’ve cared for friends dog while they are away and needing someone to provide care, either extended in home stays or just popping in. I had a dog when I was growing up, and I loved being able to take her on walks and little adventures, now I just have cats. I enjoy walking dogs and taking them to the park for some enrichment and exercise! Providing some time during the day to keep your pet company is something I love to do. As a pet owner, when I'm away for longer than normal, it always makes me feel better knowing my pets have someone to check in on them, so I love to do that for others when I can! I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I am available for daytime care during the work day, as well as last minute care needs! I am happy to take dogs on walks, or to the dog park, and provide engaging play and attention. For cats, I'm happy to follow their cues, hanging out nearby, providing opportunities to play, and come get some affection if they want. I pay close attention to animals and their needs, responding quickly to any cues they are giving me about what they may want or need. If a dog seems stressed, we will head back home and get back to a comfortable space. With cats, I always let them set the pace and get comfortable.

About: I have several years of training by and experience with handling and caring for pets. I have experience with all different animals from being a dog trainer, working in vet clinics to working with large farm animals. I’m currently looking for early morning opportunities and evening opportunities. I’m also open to overnight stays as needed. I can be flexible in those early and evening hours! I provide lots of care for your animals, if they need any maintenance (nails clipped, ears cleaned, medications, etc.) I’m totally comfortable with that from my work experience. I love to spend lots of quality time with your pet and get to know them and what they need!

About: Hello! I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and I have a cat of my own! I have experience with pet sitting for 4+ years. I am open to walking, feeding, and playing with your pet when needed! I currently am in between jobs and am looking for something to do in the meantime. I am able to fit your pet(s) anywhere in my day as I won’t have much going on. However long you need me to walk, play, and cuddle with your pet(s), I am available! I am willing to walk, feed, and play with your pet(s) when needed! Anything that you need me to do for you and your pet(s), I am more than happy to help!

“Jessica was an amazing house sitter. The boys got spoiled with her and she was so loving to them. Hey miss her already. She was very prompt with communication. We plan on using her again in the future. Thank you Jessica!!”

“Emma was absolutely amazing to have watch my dog! She sent photo updates and I could tell my dog was very well taken care of! Highly recommend her to take great care of your pet!”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I am accustomed to the good, bad, and everything in between when it comes to owning a pet. Some of my dogs in the past have had medical issues of varying sorts, so I am no stranger to strict/detailed feeding. I am also used to walking dogs daily regardless of rain, snow, or sunshine. I'm currently a graduate student so my schedule is a bit random. I am most available in the early mornings or evenings. I'm always in need of a study break though and would be as flexible as possible. My living situation doesn't allow for me to keep your pet with me. However, I'm happy to stop by and either check on your pet or give them a walk!

“Luana did a fantastic job watching all of our animals while we were away! We would definitely recommend her to anyone. ☺️”

About: Everyone knows me as the dog-obsessed friend. I've never met a dog I didn't have a connection with. Dogs seem to sense that something is different about me and that I'm the one to go to for extra love and pets. I have particular experience with and compassion for senior dogs. My husband and I rescued an 8 year old black Lhasa Apso in Chicago and got to spend 4 wonderful years making sure her remaining time was filled with love and happiness. That experience opened our hearts and minds to just how special a relationship with an older dog can be, and is what inspired us to open our home to fostering animals. When I'm not fostering or dog sitting, I'm playing with my neph-pups, seeing what the neighborhood dogs are up to, or watching funny dog videos online. I work from home full time as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer. I am able to set my own schedule allowing me the flexibility to be available for all your pet's needs. Our home has a spacious fenced-in backyard for lots of running (plus some daring squirrels and rabbits around that seem to want to be chased). We have an adjustable crate for varying sized fur babies that I line with comfy blankets and padding. We keep the crate in our guest room with a noise machine and overhead fan so they feel comfortable and safe. For dogs who are used to sleeping in a bed, we forego the crate and just let a pup snooze right on the guest bed. If it's your home, I follow your instructions to make sure your pet is as comfortable and happy as if you were still there. I'm also a big photo taker! I will provide pup-dates multiple times a day until you tell me to stop.

“Andi did a wonderful job with our Cavapoo. They bonded immediately and had a great time together! He followed our pup’s schedule which was a relief to us while we were away. We highly recommend Andi:)”

“Chloe took amazing care of our rescue dog, Moxi! She was very patient with Moxi, who is anxious and takes a long time to get comfortable with new people, and we came home to a happy pup. I especially appreciated how communicative Chloe was throughout the stay, sending pictures and updates daily. She went above and beyond with the house too (taking the sheets off the bed, running the dishwasher), which was nice to come home to. We will definitely hire Chloe again!”

About: I have been around dogs since I was born and have years of experience. During 2020, my family got a new puppy and I trained him for 4 months until he was about 5 months and then I left for college. I have dog sat for my neighbors a handful of times as of recent and want to offer my services to other people with fur babies of their own :) I also currently have two roommates, each with a dog, and help out whenever they are gone and throughout the day as I work from home. I currently work fully corporate job Monday through Friday. Weekends work the best for my schedule but I am available during the week if the situation permits. I am respectful of your space and the pups space and tend to keep to my area. I always make sure he/she is comfortable throughout my time caring for the pup.

“Tiffany did a great job taking care of our pets and small hobby farm. She communicated regularly before, during, and after our trip. Tiffany was also flexible when unexpected things came up. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

Stephanie Q.

“Amy was just wonderful! She kept me informed with pictures, updates, asked questions, left me a summary and the house clean. It was apparent my pets were in excellent hands. I was never worried about their care. I’ll be contacting her again, no question! Thanks, Amy!!”

Camilla K.

“Jamie was very responsible and attentive while providing in-home care for my dog. She took Hazel on walks, played with her, and calmed her down. I won’t hesitate to hire her again!”

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I am a pet owner myself and am very wary and selective of who I choose to watch my 'son', and I hope to be that person for you! I’ve provided pet sitting for a variety of breeds and personalities, including drop-in visits and overnight stays. I’m dependable, attentive, and always focused on making pets feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. I’ve been fortunate to have many repeat clients and referrals, which I think speaks to the level of care I provide. Whether your pet needs feeding, walks, playtime, or just some extra companionship, I’m happy to help and treat them like my own! My schedule is pretty light currently so I am able to work on shorter notice or whenever needed. Weekdays and weekends also work as well! I am very careful and respectful of others homes and property. Keeping your pets safe and happy is my number one priority. I like to make sure that everything is taken care of efficiently so there will be no extra work for you!

About: I've always had pets be apart of my life ever since I can remember. I love all animals! I've had experience with both cats and dogs. I'm familiar with senior pets as well, my furry friend is living his best senior life right now. I'm able to give oral medications as well if need be! I can't wait to have you trust me into taking care of your fur babies! Thank you for considering me to love on your animals! I'm currently a stay at home mom taking care of my two boys and our one dog. I have pretty open availability for whenever you need! Your pets will get plenty of play time and love while they're with me, they'll be treated just as if they were my own. I love to take them outside to get some energy out and enjoy the nice weather. Inside we will have lots of toys and snuggles dont you worry!

“Angeline was so good to our pups! She took them on walks (sent pics) and kept us updated throughout her stay. We would definitely hire her again!”

“Jenna did awesome with our two mastiffs! She was very communicative and sent pictures while we were on vacation, which made me miss them less. Highly recommend!”

About: I've had cats my entire life, and my husband and I currently have two amazing but SUPER high energy little kitties named Eli and Finn. We are very obsessed, and they're spoiled! I have grown up in a very close, tight-knit family with LOTS of dogs and cats, and I've pet-sat more times than I can count. I LOVE animals and they tend to like me as well. I have experience with feeding, medicine, walking, vet visits, picking up animals from pet hotels, etc. I pet sit, house sit, and babysit for a lot of my family and friends, have been a nanny to my godson who has medical complications, and am well-trusted. My husband and I are going through fertility treatments, and the profit from my pet-sitting business will be supporting us in building our family! We would deeply appreciate your support while your pets receive great care in exchange! I'm in ministry school to become a hospital/hospice chaplain, a worship leader, and an entrepreneur, so my schedule is very flexible! I look forward to meeting your schedule needs. I am not able to keep pets at my home. I am able to go to the house site and take care of your fur babies, however, and spend time at your place to give your darlings some affection, give medicine, or whatever else you need done!
