About: I have several years of experience caring for pets, including dogs, cats, and small animals. I’m attentive to their needs, ensuring they are well-fed, exercised, and receive plenty of affection. I’m comfortable with daily routines, administering medications, and providing a safe, clean environment. My genuine love for animals drives me to treat each pet as if they were my own. I’m currently full time stay at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I enjoy starting and ending my day with time dedicated to animals. Feeding, walking, and spending quality time with pets are activities I plan around, making them a consistent and fulfilling part of my schedule. Their well-being is a priority, and I find that caring for them adds structure, joy, and balance to my day My apartment building has a huge fence for pets to run around. I provide a safe environment for all animals that come to my home.


“Excellent provider. My fur baby LOVES to go to daycare. He whines and tugs at his carrier as his way of communicating to me that he wants to go to daycare. I have been using Dwight's services for a few years and I cannot express in words how excellent he is. I have no worries when I leave my fur baby with him because I know he is being well cared for. He gets 5 stars from me and more if that was an option!!!”


About: I have raised my perfect babies since they were 8 weeks old. I know how important love, care, attention, and walks are when it comes to your furry family. My home will become theirs and they will be given the most love and care. I follow any and all special instructions for your babies and will keep you updated every step of the way, if that is what you want! If your babies need a place to stay or to just get a way I love to go on walks and I love to spread the joy that comes from being an animal lover. I am currently working part time so I will be able to give all of the love and care that your babies need. If I am working it is at a farmers market. I have a small fenced in front yard and ability to take trips to dog parks if that is something you would want. I have a play pen and 3 crates if your fur baby would ever need it. I know accidents happen so I will never hold any hard feelings towards a pup if an accident did occur. Life over objects, almost everything can be replaced except life itself, so the quality of your pets life will come first.

“We love Monique! Mac is an older dog and needs a little bit more extra care and she is great with him. 10/10 and we have found our new dog sitter. I love that she always gives updates of videos and photos for my boy and is very professional. She is above and beyond amazing!”


“We left our 7 month old for a day while we hit the lakefront, and he seemed to have loved his stay! Nakeisha sent us updates throughout the day, with photos, which was a great way for us to still feel connected while away :)”


About: The compassion I have for animal's shines bright. All my life I've been surrounded by animals (dogs, cats, etc) I take this passion seriously. I treat pets as if they are my own.

“Sharett is incredible with my 2.5-year-old Husky-German Shepherd baby! Their genuine love for dogs and attention to detail made me feel at ease, and Tenley looked so happy when we picked him up from daycare, he almost didn’t want to leave. She pays a lot of attention to details such as dietary, water, and exercise needs perfectly and kept the experience stress-free. I highly recommend Sharett and will certainly book with her again!”


About: I take pride in bonding with furry friends and ensuring their relaxation and happiness. Pet owners have noted their dogs coming back very relaxed after spending time with me. I cherish the opportunity to connect with dogs and provide them with exceptional care. I will respect your home as I would want the same in return. I’m very clean. I work from home most of the time and between breaks I take the fur babies for bathroom breaks, walks and/or stop for treats and pets. I like to understand the fur babies routine, where they like to sleep, when they like to eat and what they like to do for fun. The dogs are always relaxed after I sit with them.

“Nalmah was great. She took good care of Gilly. She played with him and took him on long walks would definitely use her again”



About: I am a calm grad student with a flexible schedule. I've had a dog since I was 14. I have experience with cats as well. I love animals, and due to my classes my schedule is very open. I have no dog preference and as long as your pet is happy I'm happy. I would also be more than happy to answer any questions you may have for me. I'm mainly using this app to spend more time outside with animals. I really enjoy long walks and because I'm a broke grad student I can't get a dog so I would gladly walk yours. I currently have a cat named Jerry Seinfeld, however he's no dog. Though I did teach him how to play fetch.

About: My love for animals is so real . I am in the road to becoming a veterinarian and love working with animals. I worked at a dog camp for years helping clean , feed and monitor the dogs playing in a safe and healthy environment. If you pick me to watch your dog I’ll love and care for your dog as if it’s my own . Me being able to watch and be around different breeds of dogs definitely helps me learn the different behaviors and play styles of different dogs and I love it . Animals are my life and it would be my pleasure to be able to enjoy your dogs company and companionship while you are away . Dogs make me happy

Your dog will have friends to play with I do request a meet and greet first for the safety of the dog. Please feel free to reach out. I work from home with short hours I have plenty of time to card for the dogs needs and wants. I have 2 of my own dogs to care for. I have 2 friendly fur babies to keep your babies company.

About: I've been a professional pet sitter since 2001. Currently my wife and I own a home in South Chicago, although most of my clients live in Hyde Park. I've been taking care of dogs in the Hyde Park area since college. I went to the University of Chicago. After school I managed a West Loop Doggie Daycare and Kennel. In 2006, I began working for myself and have maintained that as my only source of income. In that time I've cared for all types of dogs, from very old to very young and everything in between. I can also offer services to variety of temperaments and training stages. If we are a fit, my wife and I have two dogs, two cats, and 8 fishes who will be happy to meet you. I also offer training, doggie playgroups, and walks for clients in the area. I'm a full time pet sitter, so dogs will go out at least 5 times a day in a fence and secure yard and will not be left unattended. Dogs will generally spend the day with me and my dogs. I will separate them if I have to leave but generally that won't be for more than a few hours.

Fast forward after they passed away and I get 2 new German Shepherd dogs and once again, they love her. However, most importantly, I trust Brandi implicitly with their care and well being. She knows/understands dog behavior very well and is a really good communicator regarding the dog's well being. I have the highest confidence in her knowledge, expertise and handling skills.”
