Artiss has walked my pup multiple times, and he has always been happy to see her! She has done a great job managing his high energy level, sent wonderful photo updates, and always made sure he went to the bathroom.

About: I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every dog like family. I’m patient, observant, and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m experienced with maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving dogs the attention they need to stay relaxed and happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my schedule around being responsible, active, and consistent. I have the flexibility to dedicate time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets attention and companionship. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets feels rewarding rather than stressful. Throughout the week, I make sure pets have a stable routine, plenty of supervision, and a comfortable environment where they can feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any special instructions from the owner. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, supervision, and exercise throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable while their owner is away. I make sure they are fed on time, walked, given fresh water, and receive companionship and care. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: Hey! I’m Patricia, and I’ve been caring for pets since I was 14 years old. I recently took a break after moving away for college, but now that I’m back, I’m excited to start pet sitting again! I’m responsible, reliable, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pawfect family! 🐾🤍🤍 My schedule is very flexible, and I’m currently available Monday through Friday at any time since I’m not in school right now. On weekends, I’m available from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible and look forward to providing dependable, loving care for your pets! I always keep plenty of treats on hand (with your permission) and live near a park, making it easy to take dogs on fun, safe walks and give them the exercise they need. I’m also happy to provide care in your home if your pet is more comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether I’m caring for your pet at my place or yours, I’ll make sure they receive lots of attention, affection, and the best care possible while you’re away.

About: I have experience caring for both energetic dogs who need structure and movement, as well as more sensitive pets who benefit from patience, gentle routines, and clear communication. I’m organized, responsive, and great at managing schedules—skills I use every day in my professional work and bring directly into pet care. I pay attention to details, follow instructions carefully, and make sure owners feel fully informed while they’re away. I’m a reliable and attentive weekend pet sitter based in Boston, and I take pride in creating a calm, safe, and caring environment for every animal I look after. I work a full-time remote job during the week, but on weekends I’m fully dedicated to pet care—whether that means long walks, dedicated playtime, or simply keeping your pet company and relaxed at home. As someone who values consistency and trust, I make sure every pet gets thoughtful, individualized attention. Whether your pet needs slow, steady walks, a playful activities, or lots of affection, I’m here to help your weekend feel stress-free. If you’re looking for a sitter who is responsible, communicative, and truly loves spending her weekends with animals, I’d love to support you and your pet!

About: I Love animals. Especially dogs and cats. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all kind. Your pet will be staying in my home, so they will have the whole house to themselves. I take extra long walks to the park and the beach often. You will never find anyone more invested in your best friend. Every hour of every day is dedicated to caring for your best friend. I am very active. I go to the gym 5 days a week. Working with dogs and cats gives me what we need in order to stay fit and mental stable. I will have your doggies tired at the end of the day!! The doggies and kitties have the entire house to their self. I have a big home with 4 floors. I also have a large yard that is fenced in and totally secure. No one gets in or out unless I decide to.

About: I genuinely enjoy being around animals and caring for them. I’ve worked with both young and older pets, and I’m patient, attentive, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I stick to their routine and give them the care and attention they need. I also keep owners updated so you always know your pet is in good hands. I’m currently work weekends only, so I will be available throughout the week to care for pets. My schedule is flexible and open, to accommodate your needs. I care for pets by keeping them on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure they’re fed on time, have fresh water, get walks or playtime, and have a clean, safe space to relax. I pay attention to their behavior and adjust to their needs—whether they’re energetic or more calm. I also respect the client’s home, follow all instructions, and send updates so you always know your pet is safe and doing well.

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs of varying ages and have always enjoyed it immensely. I no longer have a dog of my own but I would love to make friends with yours. I am working 3 days per week (not a set schedule) and have enough time to spend with some lovely dogs. My schedule changes week to week but I am quite flexible and hopeful we can find a good agreement for dog sitting/walking. My apartment is clean and spacious and perfect for a small/medium dog to stay at and play. I do not own a crate but also would prefer if your dog is properly trained and can tolerate being in open space.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog and cat for 7 years and before then was the go to sitter for all my friends with pets! I’m also a PhD student in psychology working in animal behaviors. Since young, I understand animals and respect them: how we treat them influences their behaviors. I’ve got the heart and the training to give your babies the best care they deserve when you are away! My schedule is flexible as long as we communicate in advance. Mornings work the best at the moment but let me know what you need I’ll try to make it work :) I have a comfy apartment with one dog and one cat. They’ll keep your baby company if you board with us. I’m skilled in introducing new animals to each other, I try to adjust to each animals temperaments. On other visits I try to get to your babies first as well, and of course your tips are always appreciated as you know them the best!

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.

About: Hi there! I'm Tynetta, your neighborhood work-from-home pet auntie. 🐾 I work remotely during the day, which means your furry family member gets plenty of company, potty breaks, playtime, and belly rubs instead of being left alone for hours. Whether your pet is a professional napper, an energetic explorer, or simply wants someone nearby while they snooze, I'm happy to match their pace. Outside of pet sitting, I work in public health and spend my days helping people build healthier communities. Friends would describe me as calm, dependable, and ridiculously organized. Pets seem to appreciate that too. I'm happy to send regular photo updates (expect lots of candid "living their best life" moments), follow your pet's routine closely, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. A few fun facts about me: • I work from home, so your pet gets lots of companionship throughout the day. • I'm an early riser and love getting outside for walks. • I'm patient with shy pets and enthusiastic enough for the zoomie crowd. • I'm the kind of person who will absolutely learn your dog's favorite toy, your cat's preferred napping spot, and all the little quirks that make them who they are. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. My goal is simple: when you come home, your pet is happy, relaxed, and maybe just a little disappointed that their vacation with me is over. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home most days. That means I'm around to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy having a furry coworker keeping me company while I work! I also like starting and ending my day with walks, so caring for pets blends seamlessly into my schedule without leaving them alone for long stretches. I believe pets are happiest when their routines stay as consistent as possible. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions, and any special preferences you share. I'll keep their space clean, make sure they have fresh water, lots of affection (if they enjoy it!), and I'll send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing they're doing well. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

About: I have always cared for the cats of my neighbors in Chicago, let alone other cats. Since my young adult years, I always have had cats and have been learning how to care for them from personal experience, reading online, and visiting vets as well as volunteering at shelters in Chicago over the years or supporting fundraisers! I am available nowadays to care for your pet at my home for a short period of time. Or I could visit your home! I am aware of territory adjustments and super careful about health issues. I have experience working with children and understand how important it is to supervise and engage with pets all the time! Also, it is important to pay attention to them in terms of health and behavior and provide a healthy routine of meals and clean litter boxes, among other things.
