About: While I do not have professional dog care experience, I was placed in charge of caring for my old boss's dogs (Black Lab and Great Dane), one of which I helped raise from a puppy. I have learned how to crate train, as well. I have also cared for family and friends' dogs, including overnight stays and administering medicines. I am primarily available in the early morning or late afternoon - evening. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays would be the best days to schedule with me! I make sure that my cats get enough attention, and have plenty of toys to occupy them. I am also working on crate training my cat so she'll stop clawing up our furniture. My cats are fed daily with occasional treats if they've been behaving. their litter boxes are cleaned daily, as well. When I care for a client's pets, I will take care of them in the way that their owner would care for them, but with a touch of how I would, as well.

“Stephanie it was awesome! We were so grateful that she was available last minute when our original sitter no-showed for the meet and greet. We were able to give her a virtual tour of the house and she was on time, clean, and checked in. Everything we could’ve asked for.”

“Ashley is so sweet! She took great care of my Blue. Blue can be a handful but she handled her just fine! I appreciate her keeping me posted on a regular basis and I would definitely recommend her! Thank you so much for everything! 🥰🥰”

“Erin did an amazing job! She was sooo very good with Kash and kept me updated with not only pictures but videos as well. I’d highly recommend her to anyone! ?”

Jerria M.

“Margaret was easy to communicate with and very friendly. She stayed at the house and when we got home we could barely tell someone was there. And most importantly Maisy our dog was in great spirits when we came home! Will definitely hire Margaret again!”

“Kimberly was so attentive to all of our dogs needs! She made sure they were safe, happy, & healthy. We have more high maintenance dogs and she was the perfect sitter for them. In addition to making sure our dogs were perfectly taken care of, she went above and beyond with house sitting too! My house is going to be sad I’m back because Kimberly took such great care of the house and garden! 🥰”

About: I’ve taken care of many types of animals growing up from horses to cat and dogs. I’m very confident in walking any dog any size, since in my school we’ve learned to adjust and adapt on animals behavior. I also can do any grooming needed (nails, brush teeth, bathe) if you can’t or too wary. I’ve also have well experience in cats. Ive owned cats since I was 15 so if needed I can also do any grooming needs as well. With senior dogs I know they may be more work than a normal dog but I’m up to the task without a second thought! I’ve had much experience with senior dogs. I understand that having animal comes with time management and that’s where I can help! I am current in vet tech school so I have the weekends available and Friday after 4:30pm. I am also willing to go after school mon-Friday after 4:30pm. For the animals in my house they get treated just like a member of the family! I make sure my cat and dog are always content, I take my dog out on daily walks and ensure my cat gets his daily play time. For the animals of your home they will be treated just the same.

“We are so thankful that we found Jennifer! Not only is she highly responsive, but she was flexible when we found out we needed to change our start time at the last-minute and tack on another visit. She took great care with the instructions I provided as this was the first time we left our puppy for the night. She took her on long walks and sent pictures...It was so reassuring. She's very sweet and obviously has a great love of animals. We've already secured Jennifer for our upcoming long trip!”

About: Hi, I’m Lemy — a lifelong dog lover and dedicated sitter who treats every pup like family. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child. Growing up, I was the go-to pet sitter for neighbors, friends, and family. Whether it was walking, feeding, playing, or just giving some extra cuddles, I was always happiest when I was around dogs. Over the years, that early experience grew into a deep understanding of dog behavior, needs, and personalities. I’ve looked after everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra care and patience. No matter the breed or temperament, I adjust to each dog’s unique routine and comfort level. Dog sitting isn’t just a job for me — it’s something I truly love. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet behind, which is why I make it my mission to give every dog the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. I offer a safe, clean, and cozy environment where your dog can feel right at home. With me, you can expect timely communication, daily photo/video updates, and complete peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in caring hands. Let’s make your pup’s tail wag with joy — I’d love to be their second best friend (after you, of course)! 🐶💛 My days and time that work best for me is Thursday-Saturday anytime. And Sunday-Wednesday 6:30 to 11 pm. Those are the best days and time for me but changes can be made Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, cozy space and follow your pet’s routine closely — from walks and meals to playtime and cuddles. I always stay attentive, keep you updated, and treat every dog like family. Your pup is in loving, reliable hands with me!

About: I have been taking care of all kinds of animals my entire life. I have lots of experience dog walking and sitting for neighbors and friends. I have also been fostering for Humane Indiana for the last 4 years and I have been a dog handler at a boarding facility for the past year. I am knowledgeable on how to administer medication as well as insulin shots. I am able to take care of any kinds of pet do matter what their needs may be. I just came home from Indiana University for summer break and do not yet have a full time job, therefore I am very available. I am almost always free during week days, as well as most weekends. I can usually take last minute requests and can also stay the night if necessary. I am very flexible so feel free to reach out about scheduling. I am constantly working with cats and dogs so I am very familiar with their behavior and needs. I am very knowledgeable on creating a safe environment for pets and how to ensure they are receiving the best care. Because of my time at the boarding facility and years of foster care, I know how to follow directions closely, so no matter how specific your pets need are, I can accommodate them.

About: I’ve lived with and cared for dog my whole life, from labs, Great Pyreneeses, mutts, and others in between! I have supported my hometown neighbors with caring for their animals, whether that’s by walking, feeding, bathing, administering medication - I’m comfortable with it all. Over the past 7 years I have been a mom to two cats and have helped friends and family care for their felines. I truly believe our pets are family to us and I treat all animals with all the love and care they deserve 🤍 I’m currently working part time, so I have flexibility in my schedule to help care for your furry friends! I currently reside in Northwest Indiana and work on the southside of Chicago on Thursdays and Fridays, but if you are needing my services I’m open to discussing how I can meet your scheduling needs 😊 I am not currently offering care for animals in my home due to my two year old cat who has not quite yet met other animals. However I am more capable of caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home.

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, I was actually raised on a farm! We spent mornings caring for the horses, chickens, pigs, etc. We’ve always had dogs in the home, and in my eyes, pets are just an extension to the family! I have experience with reptiles, birds (I have a cockatiel named Mila), and other exotics as well. I work Monday-Friday 9a-5p. I’m available all day on the weekends. During the week, I’m available early mornings before I head to the office, and anytime after 5pm. My pets are my children, and I will treat yours with the same amount of love, play, and attention that they deserve! While I’m not an experienced trainer, I strongly believe that any training you have in place should be respected, and upheld while you’re away. With direction, I would be happy to do just that!
