About: I’ve had dogs since I was 3 years old. I love my pets, past and present. Currently, I have 5 dogs and 2 kitties. I have PERSONALLY successfully potty trained 2 of the dogs my family has had. I’ve owned a range of very large and very small dogs. I’ve dealt with puppies as young as 3 months and seniors as old as 13 years for dogs and 16 for cats (the cat is still alive and doing well!)

I myself have a dog with a disability and he is my heart and soul; I would do anything for him and your pets too.

About: I have experience caring for dogs for family and close friends, including my brother, mother-in-law, and a longtime high school friend. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, playtime, walks, basic cleanup, and following care instructions. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication, and I’m available for both in-home sitting and drop-in visits—treating every dog like my own. I dedicate each day to caring for my three cats, which gives me hands-on experience with feeding, playtime, grooming, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. This daily routine helps me stay attentive to pets’ needs, manage different personalities, and provide consistent, loving care. I bring the same attention and dedication to every pet I care for, whether it’s for in-home sitting or drop-in visits. I care for pets with love and attention, making sure their needs are met—feeding, playtime, cuddles, potty breaks, and naps. Energetic dogs get plenty of walks, and I also handle grooming and follow any special instructions. I’m experienced with cleaning up after dogs and cats, keeping them happy and comfortable while you’re away.

About: For some reason, every dog I've ever met loves me. I absolutely adore dogs. I've been dog sitting for 17 years for friends and family. I've taken care of shy, skittish, hyper, calm, anxious, and every other type of dog personality. I have a calming way about me that dogs love. I'm incredibly trustworthy, detail oriented, careful, loving, and protective. I am willing to help out in any way needed to make your dog as happy as possible. The dog in my profile is my former dog Roxy. I rescued her from a shelter. She was my best friend. No one would choose her for a forever home because she had a lot of social needs. I was able to work with her on these needs and did a lot of training and she became an amazing dog. I can't wait to meet your dog or dogs and give them the care that they need.

About: I’m available for just about everything. I have multiple dogs so there is plenty of play time. I have had experience with dog training and internship under multiple trainers and different styles. I have worked as a vet tech for 4 years. I have crates for everyone and plenty of toys. Everyone has their own cubby where their stuff will be so we don’t lose anything. I’ve taken care of dogs with seizures diabetes and aggression there is no challenge I can’t handle. Each dog has their own tailored plan and pet parents will get a “report card” with a photo of their pups everyday, except during holidays it will be every other day. If you have any questions feel free to contact me :) I am a stay at home fur mom who enjoys helping others out with there own pups needs while they are away! We generally get up at 7am breakfast around 8am. Rest from 8-8:30 to prevent throw up! Then from 8:30am-6pm we are having fun which could be playing outside hanging in the house learning a new trick or going on a walk! 6:30pm is dinner time. Then rest again til 7pm then are doing the same thing as earlier til about 10pm when it’s bedtime! Pups are never outside alone I am always outside with them and will tailor the play groups to them weather that is no one or everyone I make the pups experience here is a happy one. I require all dogs in my care to have a collar with a tag of the owners info. When pups aren’t supervised they will be resting in there crate for safety. If we are on walks we are on a double leash system as one could always break!

About: Hi my name is Dorota. I have been a dog mom for almost my entire life until recently when my dog, Patches, passed away. Although my husband and I decided not to get another dog, caring for dogs is still a passion of mine. My husband and I are very active and go on long walks almost every day, which means exercise will be a regular part of your dogs day! I am a very flexible person so your dog will be able to keep the same exact schedule that they have at home, so that they can be as comfortable as possible while living with me. I also have a lot of experience taking care of older dogs, giving them medicine, and whatever else they may need. Dogs are part of the family and when they stay at my home they'll feel like family! Please contact me if you think I would be the right fit for you!

“We were very happy with the job Victoria and Joe did watching Kai. We knew we were gonna need someone with experience to watch our two year-old 80 pound exuberant, Golden Retriever. When we came back, Kai was happy and well cared for. We also had a last minute change in Kai’s care routine. He needed prescription medicine to be given twice a day from the vet. They were able to take care of this no problem.”

About: Hi! I’m a veteran with a few years of animal care experience, and I’m currently pursuing a degree in animal sciences with a focus on animal health and behavior. Caring for animals is an important part of my life, and I’m excited to continue building my knowledge through both school and hands-on experience. My goal is to provide thoughtful, dependable care while helping your pet feel safe and comfortable when you’re away. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and care instructions to give them individualized attention. Whether your pet enjoys active playtime or prefers quiet companionship, I’d love to get to know them and help you feel confident about their care!

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—from small cats to large energetic dogs, and everything in between! With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. Whether I’m walking a high-energy pup, providing gentle care to a senior dog, or spending quiet playtime with a shy cat, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work a flexible schedule as a licensed esthetician and certified laser technician, which allows me to offer availability for pet care throughout the week. I am available for early morning walks and drop-in visits, evening care, overnight stays, and weekend bookings. On days when I don't have appointments scheduled, I often have additional daytime availability as well. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a long walk, playtime, feeding, or overnight companionship, I'm happy to accommodate their routine and provide reliable, attentive care. I care for pets in my home, which is set up to be safe, comfortable, and welcoming. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time and a spacious downstairs area perfect for crates or quiet time when needed. Pets are welcome throughout the house and treated like part of the family. Whether they love to cuddle on the couch or need their own space, I tailor the environment to fit each pet’s personality and routine. Cleanliness, supervision, and safety are my top priorities—and of course, lots of love and attention!

About: I have worked in veterinary medicine for 6 years, Animals tend to like me regardless of their personalities. I am as happy on a leisurely walk for a mellow dog who wants to sniff and explore as I am to tire out a dog with boundless energy. I give exceptional pet sitting services for your beloved companions, where I treat your pets like family! I’m Devoted to your pets, happiness, and wellbeing! my compassionate nature and dedication to providing exceptional care make me a standout sitter. I prioritize building trusting relationships with both pets and seniors, and I am committed to creating a safe and comfortable environment for them. I have a full-time job, but I am available for pet sitting before and after work. I am nearby so I’m also available for drop in visits throughout the day. I would love to do in-home care/pet walking overnight days. I can also do weekly and home care for vacations for dogs and cats, and any other pets. I have experience with gerbils, hamsters, rabbits, reptiles.

About: I'm Julie (Jules), a graphic designer and creative director. I own a design and branding company in the Chicago/Milwaukee area that services clients locally, nationally and globally. I love all creative pursuits, including writing music for piano and singing. I've always loved all dogs, especially larger breeds (though the smaller pups are super cute and sweet and steal my heart equally!). My pup, Bella, a black lab mix, was a very kind, sweet and gentle dog. She passed in 2016 at age 14, having had a very nice life. I would love to help other fur babies who need caregiving while their humans are away or need a daily walk or check-in. I'm at home working during the week and have access to a wonderful backyard, an amazing neighborhood, and parks nearby. I love all outdoor activities, especially hiking and swimming. Would love to take your pups to the beach or on any sized walk they desire!! :) I offer these services because I love dogs, not to make a living. It's a great win/win to have a sweet fur baby around from time to time. Yes, it's nice to have some extra cash to work on the house, but my primary career more than covers my income needs. I share this info so you can be sure no other dogs will share your pup's time with me.* I keep to a strict policy of one-on-one care and up to two dogs from the same family... if you have more than two, please reach out, and I may be able to make exceptions. My rates reflect this customized care and focus for your sweet puppers! *In mid-2024, I started pairing up dogs that requested having another pup present from a different family. Please let me know if you are open to having a playmate for your pup. If you prefer no other dogs in the home while yours is here with me, I strictly adhere to your preferences and take this quite seriously. I specialize in customized care for dogs with behavioral issues such as not getting along with other dogs. Since my dog passed in 2016, I have been able to devote all my time to your pup when they're in my care. They will be carefully cared for and pampered, with every need catered to. The only thing I won't abide is a pup who isn't house-trained. If your dog/pup has never been left with a sitter before and you'd like to ensure they're a great house guest, I do suggest booking a 1-2 night stay much in advance of your trip so we can see if your pup has any specific issues to call out, and if I'm a good fit for them/you. I have found this to be of great benefit to you and me! I charge a cleaning fee IF your pup has "surprise" issues with incontinence, as this behavior can happen; however, I don't take on dogs with this issue unless we have a solution, like a doggy diaper or pee pads (for puppies). Severe separation anxiety can also be challenging, as my own pup had this issue. If there are situations such as this, I ask that you bring a crate, and the pup must be trained and be OK to be in their crate as needed. If no issues like these exist, they need to have their own bed or spot where they like to sleep. I don't allow dogs to sleep upstairs with me. Snuggling up on the sofa with a couple of pups is one of my favorite things to do. I know most dogs like a comfy bed. As noted above, please bring a fresh bed for your pet, either a cleaned dog bed from home or a new one. I have blankets for the floor and a lovely sofa that I cover with a blanket for the occasional daytime snooze. If you have an elderly dog, I know just what to do to provide the best care. As my dog Bella aged, I learned how to adapt every year. Listening to your dog and providing the best care is my priority. I realized that leaving an ailing or elderly pup in another person's care can be stressful. I would treat your dog like my own and hope to put your mind at rest. I welcome all questions as part of our meet + greet. I only sit for dogs I know or can meet during our meet + greet (unless out-of-town circumstances or timing prevail). I can sit at the last minute only for pups I've sat for previously or know well. If you are traveling from out of town and cannot sync up for a meet + greet, please reach out to discuss your situation. As far as breeds go, I have experience with an extensive range of breeds—larger breeds with special needs like an elevated dog water/food bowl due to how they process food or other breeds that are great with humans and not so wonderful with other dog breeds. I've had great results with training. I have experience with smaller breeds as well. As mentioned, I only sit for house-trained and well-behaved dogs in the home. I book up early... sometimes six months before a planned trip. Please plan ahead to secure your desired dates. I look forward to meeting your amazing pups soon!! Jules I'm home most of the time. I work days and some evenings but make my own schedule. I'm available as needed for all types of customized care. I have a lovely yard for dog play. I would love the same situation if I were dog-sitting in your home. My home is also in a very safe Hales Corners neighborhood. It has a low volume of car traffic and is very quiet.

About: I love animals. I have loved, played with, nursed, and fed any kind of dog you an imagine. Im also comfortable around cats considering they tend be independent and communicative in their own way. I genuinely enjoy the process of training and nurturing animals. I have experience caring for newborn puppies and dogs with health issues as well as making natural and organic meals for dietary needs. I believe patience , affection, and repetition are the recipe to connecting with our all of our furry friends. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any additional questions. I work from home so pet care wouldn’t disrupt my routine at all. And I would be able to tend to a dog with special needs. I have a fenced in yard and personal fenced in patio off of my kitchen. It allows your buddy to get some fresh air in between walks and be secure
