“Amanda J. took great care of my precious 16 year old cat. I will be happy to use her again someday as the need arises, and highly recommend her. She's reliable and kind!”


“Seriously Patrick is the ONLY person outside of immediate family that we trust with our pups. They love him so much and he does what we ask I terms of their care (they are just spoiled, nothing medical or any like that. I’m 100% confident he would take care of them if that were the case though lol) We are still surprised we found such an amazing pet sitter.”


“Patricia took good care of our cat in our week-longabsence. There was some slight miscommunication in dates, but Patricia was more than accommodating to ensure our cat got the number of visits required.”


“We felt so comfortable leaving our cats in Sarah’s care! She communicated daily with us and sent pictures. The cats enjoyed her visits (even the reluctant one) and came to greet her when they heard the door open only to find it was us returning home! We will definitely use Sarah again.”


“Angela helped us last minute while I was out of town and my partner was busy. She was very communicative and kind. Our pup had to take some medication and she did well with that. Many thanks for your help!”


About: I love dogs and cats, all animals really. I have had my dog for 5 years, I trained her since she was 8 weeks. I am very hardworking and punctual. I will give ur pup love and attention and any guidance needed :) Pet care is my priority everyday as a pet owner, and it would be my top priority to treat others pets with utmost care and provide any services needed. I have a large house and a big backyard. I also love taking walks and I always take my furbaby with me. I have a small 10 pound dog. She is shy and well behaved, mostly sleeps but loves to play. Good with dogs or cats.

“Jessica was wonderful. She was able to come on short notice, and still made time to visit ahead of time to get acquainted with our shy pup (and us). She is prompt, reliable, and easily made friends with Doxie. We would definitely ask her back for future needs.”

Whether it's my own dog or one belonging to a family member, friend, or neighbor, I always give them the love, attention, and care they deserve, treating each one as if they were my own. I have a flexible full time job during the week that allows me to work from home and care for your animal. i’m also available on weekends.

“Great communication, friendly and professional! Has experience with pitties, which is was a determining factor in our booking. Karen was very understanding and supportive of Diesel's needs.”



“Maani was fantastic! I have a super loving, separation anxiety filled Pittie and from our first meet and greet with Maani I knew they would hit it off perfectly! She was prompt, communicated well and stayed for as long as she could each visit… she even took him for a walk that evening. I am so thankful to Maani for taking such great care of my babies!”


“NaBeela was a great fit with our pup! She is warm and kind. She understands that our dog is a family member and treated him as one. She sent videos during her visit and we could tell our doggie was having fun. It was so comforting to receive videos and photos that showed us our dog was happy while we were away. We will definitely work with NaBeela again - highly recommend!!!”


About: Looking for a dog walker? Or dog sitter? I’m sure you have a lot of options. I’d like to know what I can do for you to make this experience easy and enjoyable for you. I’ll ask you questions about your pets and I’ll treat them with care. I’d love to learn about them and about you so I can take care of them in the long run whenever you need me to.

When taking care of your pet I will make sure to ask questions regarding any secret hide outs your pet might like to hide in or what their favorite toy is to keep them company.

About: From owning fish to hamsters to a puppy, animals have always been my support system. I have watched both dogs and cats, and before moving out of my home to pursue my career, lived with my family dog of 8 years. In my free time, I volunteer at foster shelters (like PAWS and NAWS), to help raise awareness of the importance of rescuing and adopting pets. My goal as a care taker is to make your pet feel as comfortable, safe and loved as possible so that when you get back, they don't even realize you were gone! Chat with me to see if I'm the right fit for you! I currently work M-Th full time and virtually on Fridays. My weekends are free. I’m available from Friday-Sunday for overnight and day time sitting. During the week (Monday-Thursday) I am free after 2pm to pet sit as well. I live in a spacious apartment complex that is pet friendly. Most of my neighbors have dogs, and cats amongst other pets too. While I may not have a yard my apartment complex has a dog park and walking trails, which makes for a great play/active area. I have no qualms or restrictions either with pets in my apartment and have no pets myself. My house is their house.

“Heather did a great job on her visit with Reiver. Got him out and played with him made sure he emptied out and got some exercise. he loved her visit. She'll be seeing him again.”

I have fostered over 70 dogs and puppies from area rescues including Peace for Pits, Chicagoland Bully Breed, Forget Me Not Rescue and others. Your dog will be treated like a member of my family. I have a 5 ft and 6 ft cedar fenced in double lot in Brookfield. Please contact me for more information! I am currently unemployed. Otherwise I’m home a majority of the time with my 1 dog. I needed to be gone for a long amount of time, my fiancé is home for potty breaks and meal breaks. Daily walks given. If it’s for in home boarding, I have a ring doorbell and Arlo cameras. My dog isn’t allowed outside alone for extended periods of time. Trust and safety is my concern. I have prior law enforcement experience as well.

About: I've own pets my whole life. From dogs to Kamoto Dragons to good fish. I take pride in having an animals love and attention. Patience is key. I currently am working on my food truck and have much down time as it's being built. I've been offering service for friends and family during this summer and it's been great. Why not help others all while meeting new pet friends. I am very respectful to the clients request in how to or how not to attend their pets. I have fenced yard and plenty of toys.

I will ensure that I care for them as intently as I can possibly can. I am very familiar with basic dog commands as well.

rachel f.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my high-energy, high-maintenance Bernese Mountain Dog while I was away! My pup can be a handful—rambunctious, a little spoiled, and full of personality—but Rachel handled everything with patience, love, and total confidence. She is incredibly reliable—she showed up exactly when she said she would, followed all care instructions to a T, and kept me updated regularly with texts and photos. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such capable and dependable hands. Rachel clearly understands dog behavior and treats animals with the same love and care as their owners would. My pup absolutely adored her and was clearly comfortable, safe, and happy the whole time. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, experienced, and genuinely passionate about animals, I can’t recommend Rachel enough.
