Scott really helped us out with a week of drop-in visits for our two dogs, one of which is rather unpleasant with strangers. He also agreed to oversee our coop of chickens which was very helpful. Scott was accomodating and generally a good communicator, and the pups seemed to like him. I think he did a fine job. We would definitely work with Scott again.

About: Hi there! My name is Hope and I am a very passionate animal lover with over 3 years of professional dog handling experience (along with being a dog and cat mom to a 3 year old Dalmatian and 2 lovely boy cats)! Through my years working at Bay View Bark, a dog daycare/boarding facility, I have learned so much and now have a great understanding of dog behavior, body language and handling techniques. I am very comfortable managing dogs of all sizes and temperaments, with the goal of keeping everyone safe, happy and healthy while they’re in my care! Whether you’re looking for a high energy structured walk or just someone to keep your pup company, I am more than happy to fill whatever role you may need! I am fully confident with feeding meals and administering any medications your puppy may need including oral, topical or any other meds/supplements. My hope is to be able to learn as much about your dog as I can to help customize my approach to fit your dogs unique personality, I want to create a welcoming and smooth experience from start to finish for every pup I meet/take care off! Lastly I want to make sure you feel 100% confident that your dog(s) are in the best hands and with someone that will extend the love/care you give to them each day! I currently work a full time job but have a large range of shift times so my schedule varies week by week. I will often be off work by 3pm in the opposite end I sometimes don’t start work until 12pm, giving me time to do short visits before/after my shifts! I have multiple xpens and gates to section off my home along with two entry/exit ways, one at the front and one at the back of my house. I have an unfenced front yard with a 30ft leash attached to the porch to provide free roaming if wanted! I live not even a block from Humboldt park which makes taking enriching walks very easy!

Melissa is genuinely amazing. From the meet and greet to the moment we returned home, I’m so grateful and impressed by her. She kept our boys active and happy (and handled our big puppy so well!) Melissa communicated so well, and we returned to the house just as we left it. Highly recommend Melissa. She really cares about the dogs and making you feel comfortable while you’re away.

About: Ex restaurant owner turned private chef and animal sitter (what is this life?!). Love meeting all the silly kitties and playful doggies on this app. I have two cats and a pitbull puppy. I specialize in giving insulin if needed, medication/pills, and telling your cat/dog how pretty they are. Very flexible, wide open schedule right now! My schedule was limited to cat visits but now I’m open to pups now that my puppy isn’t as demanding of my time I have two very nice dog friendly cats and a crazy puppy!! I also have an empty room that fully set up for cat boarding! Tons of windows and couches

We had a wonderful experience with Maiah and would absolutely recommend her. Our beagle can be a bit high-maintenance, but Maiah was so great with her. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in trustworthy, kind, and capable hands. Maiah was also an excellent communicator--we received regular updates, photos, and quick responses, which made it easy to relax while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!

Julianna was incredible! She stayed at my house for a week while we were gone to watch Sophia. She kept me updated on everything that was going on and gave her some extra love when she needed it. Sophia doesn’t love being away from us but Julianna made sure she was okay and did everything she could to make sure she was happy! Would definitely recommend her <3

Marilia took outstanding care of our older cat and young dog while we were gone! She was communicative, flexible, thorough, and kind. She handled medicating our pup and let us know immediately when there was a small problem. We loved getting her updates and photos, which showed how happy, relaxed and comfortable our pets were with her. Will very much look forward to working with her again!

Berenice has a great heart for animals. Our dog has special needs and required hand feeding for meals. I think she would be a wonderful addition to your household, as an animal sitter. She has a kind disposition and will treat your pet with the utmost care. She left the house clean and played with our dog outside - he likes to sleep and can be lazy (so it was nice she provided enrichment playtime)! We got picture updates. She was on time for the meet and greet / when we left for our family trip to see relatives. Our dog seemed happy and content when we got home.

About: Taking care of dogs is something I have enjoyed for much of my life, even a malanois can’t resist my affection! I’m very excited to have fun with your fur baby! I am currently working part time so my availability is open to help you and your lovely pet! I am able to easily balance your pet care with my own schedule. Figuring out your pets needs is crucial, then building a good routine around play, rest and bathroom breaks. Building a good routine is very important for me to develop a good relationship with your friend!

About: Hello! I am a dog lover through and through, as I’ve spent much of my life caring for my own pups and dog sitting for friends and family. I also worked at a doggy daycare for a little over a year, where I was responsible for managing large groups of dogs. We regularly fed, trained, and administered a variety of meds to the dogs in our care. I had the opportunity to work with many different dogs as well, from senior dogs with special needs to young, energetic puppies of all sizes! I have always been extremely passionate about understanding dog behaviors so that I can provide the best care for every pup :) I have a lot of time throughout the week to care for your pups! I’m available Mon-Fri and I can be flexible regarding timing. Most weekends are open for me as well—just communicate what is needed and I will try my best to make myself available :) I always provide a safe, comfortable environment at your home while sticking to a structured routine of potties, feeding, and/or any medication needs. I’ll do my best to ensure your pet feels relaxed and confident while you’re away!

Sonia and Alex did an absolutely excellent job caring for my dog. He is developmentally delayed, requires daily medication, and is incontinent, so his care takes extra attention and patience. Throughout the 6 days he was with them, they communicated promptly and openly about any challenges that came up, and together we were able to make simple adjustments to ensure his stay was comfortable and successful. They sent pictures frequently, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. From every photo, it was clear that my dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable in their care. I am incredibly grateful for the compassion, flexibility, and attentiveness Sonia and Alex showed, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone—especially those with pets who have special needs.

Steely my dog was in great hands with Megan. He was very happy to see her when she came back after the meet and greet. She kept me up to date regularly and sent me multiple pictures a day which made me feel so good being away. She asked appropriate questions regarding his care instructions. Also the residents in my 55 and over apartment building were very complimentary about her. I would absolutely have her take care of my boy again. Thank you Megan!🩷

Caitlyn was once again outstanding. She provided excellent care for our five dogs and accommodated our newest addition on short notice. She handled Mayhem’s medications perfectly (which is an absolute necessity as she has Addison’s Disease) and shared lots of regular photo updates, which we greatly appreciated during our 10-day absence. Our dogs clearly adore her and are always excited to see her. This is our fourth time using Caitlyn, and we hope she’ll continue to sit for us! I really can’t say enough good things!

IGNORE THE BAD REVIEW - that guy’s a doo-doo face… Sawyer clearly loves dogs and communicates just fine! I tend to over communicate and he had no problem responding to all my messages. I love getting all the pic updates, too! He’s experienced and my handsome staffy boy took to him immediately! My dog can be a handful on a leash and around other dogs but he must have handled him just fine because no bad reports! 💯 recommend Sawyer! 👍
