“Nicole was great with Shooter. She was very dependable, friendly and he loved his time with her! Will definitely use her again and recommend.”


“Briana is so GREAT with our two dogs. She truly cares for Ody and Billie Jean like they are her own. She has great availability, which works amazingly for our hectic schedules. She is truly the best!!”


“Allison is amazing!! She's been walking our two large energetic dogs for a couple weeks now and takes great care of them. She always responds quickly and is super flexible with our chaotic schedules. We couldn't be happier!”


“Carol was great. On time every day and gave great updates. It was super hot too and she made sure my dogs got outside to do their business and explore. I highly recommend her.”


“Grace was amazing handling my German Shepard, My dog is sweet but can be intimidating. He is strong and will bark at other dogs on walks so I always worry a little if people will be comfortable walking him. Grace was awesome with him and put me at ease. I’m so glad I found her to help me out and would use her again!”


“This being Olivia's first visit, I took the time to introduce myself and Jack, my dog. Jack took an immediate shine to her, trying to get her attention by licking her leg. As soon as he saw the leash in her hand he began doing his "happy dance". Olivia suggested I get a harness for him to avoid any accidents while on the walk. (why didn't I think of that) It was obvious that she really likes animals. I didn't walk with them because I have a really bad heart condition, but they were gone longer than I expected. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone without reservation. Jack and I look forward to her next visit.”


About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life as my house has been full of em (my dad never said no when i brought a dog home lol) I am also a pre-veterinary student and I just graduated with my degree in biology. I am saving up to move to Colorado to attend vet school! I currently work two jobs- however- they are in the evening and there are days that I get out early enough to check on your fur babies later on as well. But if you need someone in the morning and early afternoon- I’m your gal. I have a pup of my own at home, and all of my friends say he is so spoiled. I know how to correctly administer medications due to my background of working in vet clinics and am also a professional dog and cat cuddler.

About: I am currently a cat mom of 3. Chloe, Colby, and Clarabelle. I have had 20+ years experience with cats, dogs, and other small animals. I have grown up with animals my whole life including cats, dogs, rabbits, and other small animals. I'm currently a teacher working remotely and during my breaks before and after classes I would love to care for your pets. I'm available to do check ins and walks. I would also consider doing an overnight depending on my availability. I will provide updates and photos when requested by the owner and will provide quality care to your pet while you are away. Please consider contacting me if you are in need of someone to look after your pet. I would love to meet your furry family members.

About: I've been taking care of neighbors' pets since before I remember. I'm patient and also love to play. Whatever your pets need I'm here to serve! I am currently part time at my farm job. My schedule is relatively flexible. No blackout days or dates in my schedule. Moved to Aurora suburbs but still available for sitting jobs in Chicago I will ask for their typical schedule for walks and eating. I only pet sit in your home to try and keep the dog/ cats better adjusted to your absence. We don't want to have them feeling too anxious!

About: I've been taking care of all kind of creatures as long as I can remember. I've had dogs, cats, reptiles and fish. I've even taken care of birds and wildlife. It's truly my passion to give to these animals. I will give your pet the utmost care and respect. 👍 I'm working part time currently so I can board on the weekends Friday to Sunday. And on Wednesdays. I do take care of my own animals in the mornings but it shouldn't interfere with scheduling. I have a fenced yard and a dog that loves company from other dogs! I can also easily separate my dog from your pet if need be. I can also board at your own place, whatever makes you comfortable.

“Go to for all things dog sitter! Will continue to keep booking moving forward!”


“Kiana is so sweet and considerate! She made sure my dog wasn’t overheated by taking breaks under some shade on the walk. My dog loves her!”


“1st time Petra visited Miley for a walk. She was very calm and great with my GSD. She will be back for more walks. Very good and responsive”


“This is second time Ive used Sarah. An absolute pleasure to work with. This call was a last minute emergency and she was so happy she could help. My Zoe is 15 and is a little slower and double coated so I like to walk her in shade. Little special rituals Zoe and me do together she was kind to accommodate. Zoe loves her and waits on front bed for her. Its difficult to leave Zoe for trips away from her And now I have peace of mind knowing how gentle and generous Sarah is with Zoe when I have to be away. Sarah is a gem.”

About: My husband, Chris, and I can be your dog’s new best friend! We have 2 rescue dogs of our own and they have trained us well! We can provide walks, play time, belly rubs, or anything else your fur baby needs. During drop in visits, We will feed/water as necessary, spend time getting to know your dog, play time and some good quality personal interaction. Our walks will provide your dog the exercise he/she needs to stay active and release some of that puppy energy. We enjoy walks and consider them valuable bonding time with your dog, creating a trusting relationship. We also use that time to work on outdoor manners through positive reinforcement. We have had pets all our lives , so We are comfortable around all types of dogs. We can also care for your cat as well. We look forward to meeting your pup! My work from home schedule allows the ability to schedule around your pets needs. I always allow extra time in case my furry friends need some additional attention or snuggles. I only accept appointments when I know there’s in time in the my schedule , so your pet’s visit is NEVER rushed. Home visits are catered to your pet’s needs. Meals, treats, playtime, belly rubs, etc. I always discuss what you want for your dog visits, with you, beforehand. Walks can also be broken up into walk time/playtime if you prefer. Not all fur babies are the same, so please let me know what yours likes!

About: We adopted my dog when I was 7 years old and she's been my best friend for the past 11 years! When we adopted her my parents made sure I was the one taking care of her, food, water, walks, the works! We adopted her when she was a 18 week old puppy and now she's 11 and right around the corner form seniority. This means I've worked with an array of different age dogs. My family also has a whole pack together, so I have experience with new breeds. All that together, I believe that I'm an exceptional candidate! I'm a 2025 high school graduate starting college in Maine for ecology in late August. I'll be able to walk all summer with limited conflicts. My schedule is generally pretty free so I have loads of time for your pup! I can come over up to 3 times a day depending on our proximity form the hours 10am-9pm. I take care of my own dog and have taken care of her since I was 7 and she was 18 weeks. My parents didn't want a dog but I did, and they wanted to teach me responsibility. So, I've been caring for dogs for the larger amount of my life. I walk her, watch her, play with her, feed her, water her; she's my whole world! I'm also quite good at teaching her tricks and trained skills!
