About: I run a dog walking and training business in Chicago, and pet care is at the center of everything I do. I hold a search and rescue dog training certification, which means I bring real behavioral know-how to every walk: reading body language, managing leash reactivity, and helping anxious dogs feel safe in new environments. Whether it's a high-energy pup needing a solid outlet or a senior dog needing a gentler pace, I tailor every visit to what your dog actually needs. I'm background-checked and bonded and insured up to $1M, so you can trust your pup is in steady, capable hands. Pet care isn't a side gig for me, it's my business, so dog walks and visits are built into the core of my week rather than squeezed in around something else. I keep a flexible daily schedule that lets me offer consistent walk times your dog can count on, plus room for same-week bookings when plans change. Mornings and early afternoons tend to be my most open windows, and I'm always happy to work with you to find a recurring time that fits your routine. Safety comes first on every walk. I'm background-checked, and bonded and insured up to $1M, so you can feel confident handing over your leash. Before a first walk, I always do a meet and greet to get a feel for your dog's temperament, energy level, and any triggers, so I can adjust my approach accordingly, with secure leash handling and close attention to signs of stress or fatigue. In your home, I treat your space with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, keeping doors and gates secure and leaving everything exactly as I found it.

“My puppy loved Chelsea great to have her.”

About: Hi, I’m Gabriela! Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been officially pet sitting since 2023. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies who need extra attention to gentle senior dogs who require a softer touch and steady routine. Because I work a standard 9-to-4 schedule Monday through Friday, I’m available for evening visits and overnights during the week, with full, open availability on the weekends. I’m proud to have maintained a 4.9-star rating across 64 reviews, and I always aim to give every dog the same genuine care, comfort, and attention I'd want for my own. Weekday care is ideal for drop ins or dogs that are used to this schedule. Weekends offer complete flexibility for full day care, longer walks, or taking on puppies and dogs with higher daytime needs. I have 1 pup that is extremely friendly and loves to make new friends. This is good for pups that are used to having someone around so that they don’t feel lonely.

About: Being an animal lover, I have taken care of all of my own pets and those of friends and family. From guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, fish, cats, and dogs. I have seen the absolute best with pets and will do anything that a pet parent wants for their pet. While I look for a full-time/part-time job, I am available any day of the week, Monday-Friday, 7 am- 6 pm, and Weekends, any time of the day. I am able to come over you house, to be able to care for your pet when it is required. I am unable to at my house since I am in the process of moving. I am comfortable being in your house to ensure your pet is in a familiar area.

“Rosario was absolutely amazing! She provided so many images and videos of my fur baby! She also sent me a video of locking up. I’ve never felt so comfortable of someone taking Ollie for a walk. I will 100% be rebooking.”

About: I recently graduated from Northern Michigan University this past spring with a bachelors degree in Education. Before pursuing my career, I am taking time off to work and spend time with family. I am a lover of all animals, though I have the most experience with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. Over the past 8 years, I have worked with several families for drop by visits and extended stays while they travel. I have a fur baby of my own, my cat Ringo, who I love very much. I have several references available for back ground check and to hear from prior families I have worked with for feedback if desired! I would love to work with you and your pets! I have a pretty open schedule! I work 1-2 shifts a week of retail for roughly 4 hours per shift. I can do overnights, extended stays, multiple visits per day, and so on. I’m flexible to your needs! When caretaking for you animal, I’ll be more than ready to follow your expectations. I have a list of references available from prior families I’ve worked with in the past that I am more than welcome to share with you. At any point, feel free to contact me via call or text if you have questions or concerns about the wellbeing of your animal.

About: I’ve worked as a full time nanny for the past 6 years and have been responsible for walking and caring for their pets too, I also have my own senior doggie, a 13 year old schnauzer and have always loved caring for kiddos and their animal friends. I currently work as a nanny Monday- Friday, but only 4 hours per day because I am only responsible for school drop offs and pick ups, so a couple hours in the morning and a couple in the afternoon and I have the rest of the day available for walks and pet sitting! I can crate your dog if needed and provide any medication necessary for your pets, I love doing long walks and can stick to any schedule necessary whether that be feeding time or potty time. I am always punctual and I feel very passionate about making your pets feel safe and well taken care of.

About: I have a 10 year old pit bull who I’ve had since he was a puppy. I’m a big pit bull advocate! I’m a big believer in “punish the deed, not the breed”. Although pitties have my heart I do love dogs of all kinds and love to talk to strangers whenever I see them out and about with their pups. I’m self employed so my schedule is pretty flexible throughout the weekdays and weekends during the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. As long as I have a couple days notice I can always move things around if needed. I have a fenced in wooden yard so your dogs can be outside with peace of mind knowing there’s no risk of them sneaking out as we keep the gates locked at all times since I have a dog of my own. In your home, I will follow the instructions given to me to take care of your pups.

“She is absolutely amazing! She follows instructions perfectly, communicates quickly and clearly, and always prioritizes safety. I really appreciate how she reinforces our dog’s training and handles dogs with so much care and confidence. We trust her completely and feel very lucky to have found her. Highly recommend!”

About: I have always loved dogs, and showing them care is just a part of that. The more love you show dogs, the more love they will show you! I have had a dog for about 7 years now, and she is completely spoiled and just a huge part of my life. Dogs are definitely family, and should be treated as such. Leaving your dogs with someone is a huge trust thing, and it would be an honor for you to trust me with such a huge responsibility. All dogs should be treated with love and respect and be able to enjoy the walks they deserve. I also love nearby a dog park and would love to help burn some of their energy there, because I know a lot of dogs like playing there! I am currently a stay at home mom, so I am completely flexible and can make any schedule that works for you work for me within reason! Let me know how I can help. Whatever instructions you leave for me I will follow to a t, I will do whatever works for you and your pet. You know what’s best!

About: I absolutely love animals, which is why I’ve been taking care of family, friend, and neighborhood pets since I was 12 (my family has also always had cats!). I am reliable and have been trusted to consistently and properly tend to pets, whether it’s walking, feeding, overnight and in-house care, or anything in between. I have experience with elderly animals, as well as puppies and kittens. I am more than happy to provide updates about your pet during their care, and will always reach out with concerns or questions should they come up to ensure they’re being taken care of in the way that’s best for them. I truly care about animals, and enjoy spending time with them maybe just as much as they enjoy having a pal. I’m excited to get to know new pets and keep them taken care of, safe, entertained, and happy! I’m currently already doing pet care part-time, and am excited to make time for even more furry faces! I am able to take care of pets that need early morning check-ins, as well as pets that need a companion overnight. I always make sure animals have the water, food, and essentials they need, and do what I can to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I am just as happy as them to be hanging out and will make sure they get plenty of playtime and attention, and are okay before bed if it is an overnight stay.

“Ally really understands dogs and their body language/behaviors! She was very patient with my senior dog who is shy around new people. Ally made sure she was comfortable with her to not stress her out (and a few treats helped too 😊) We will be using Ally again for walks!”

About: I have a 7 year old pitbull mix. His name is Diesel and he is the love of my life. I adopted him when he was a little over year old. Unfortunately, he was not well taken care of by his previous owner. We've been through a variety of training and experiences throughout our time together, and it makes me an ideal candidate to care for your pet. I'm specifically experienced in reactivity and aggression, however, I'm happy to care for all pets, with any type of temperament. I work for myself, so my schedule is flexible and I can accommodate most requests within the hours of 8am to 8pm. Early morning and late night are dependent on various factors. I follow whatever method of care the owner prefers. Please provide clear directions, and I am happy to accommodate whatever is needed to ensure your pet is safe and comfortable. I am also open to and recommend meeting the pet before my initial visit. This would be at no additional cost. Any additional met-ups to establish familiarity will be charged at the 30-minute dog walking rate.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a very young. I have experience pet sitting neighbors, family, and friends pups and cats. I’m attentive and will respond all questions, happily providing updates throughout your booking. I have owned two Great Danes and two miniature doxxies; I love dogs in all sizes! I’m also experienced with taking care of cats and love them as well :) I’m currently working part time from home, choosing my own hours so I have the ability to prioritize your pet’s needs. Pet care is something I’m truly passionate about and I promise to care for your pet as if it were my own. I have a mile long walking trail along my apartment property and a fenced in dog park on property. I can easily crate your dog if necessary and have a crate large enough for a Great Dane. I will happily abide by your instructions as you know your pet best!

“Lesslie was very flexible, Toby and Duvalin arrived home very calm, which means they enjoyed their walk. Thank you, Leslie!”

About: With 14 years of personal experience caring for my own dogs, cat, and lizard, I really understand that every pet is unique and deserves patience, love, and consistency. What sets me apart is the empathy I bring from being a lifelong pet parent, not just a sitter. I treat every animal with the same care and attention I give my babies. I do not currently have a job, so I have lots of time to play with your pets! My schedule in the mornings is taking care of my own pets, and then errands and friends and such. In a client’s home, I always follow your instructions closely to keep your pet comfortable and their routine consistent. I respect your space, clean up after myself and your pet, and make sure they get the love, attention, and care they’re used to while you’re away!

“Malcomn has been really great with my two dogs, Fred and Rosie. They are both big dogs with a lot of quirks, but he handles it all professionally and is super friendly. I appreciate how he’s always on time and communicates well. I needed him to come daily for a while after having surgery, and he was able to make it happen every day for several weeks. I appreciated the commitment and we’re going to set up regular walks going forward.”
