“Deidre was AMAZING with my with two pups and can’t RECOMMEND her enough! Unfortunately, one of my dogs became very ill before I left for vacation and required extensive, round the clock care. Deirdre was able to administer all of the medications, stick to the strict food regimen, come by every 2 hours to check in, and even cleaned up all of the accidents from my sick pup. :/ She kept me updated throughout the trip with texts and pictures, asked questions when needed, and when my other dog sitter fell through at last minute, she was able to rearrange her schedule to cover. Overall, I am very grateful for her help and it truly put my mind at ease knowing Deirdre could be there to take care of them! Thank you again!”

About: I am a Penn nursing student and have a background in veterinary medicine! While I am in school I am looking to take care of your furry friends!!! While I am in school I do have in person classes, but can be pretty flexible whether it’s a short drop in visit or a couple day stay I am available to help! I have had a 110 pound german Shepard and a 30 pound mini bernadoodle so I feel comfortable with all size ranges of dogs. Since working in a clinic I have learned to read pets behavior so I will make sure your pet is well taken care of

“Melissa was great and immediately bonded with Scarlet at our first meeting. Will definitely be contacting her again when the need arrives.”

“Hanna was wonderful with Jaxx on his first walk. He was shy at first since he’d never had a walker before, but her calm and patient approach helped him warm up quickly. She let him walk at his own pace, shared detailed updates, and even sent a picture, which I really appreciated. I felt very relieved and will definitely continue using her services”

“Yesterday, Jason was walking our dog when a neighbor’s dog ran through its electric fence, and charged my dog. Jason calmly and skillfully de-escalated the situation, preventing potential serious injuries to my pet. Jason is a wonderful dog walker, and in this case he went well above and beyond the call of duty.”

About: My doggies taught me everything I know. They are no longer here - they went to doggy heaven and we miss them all the time. My teens and I have a lot love to give and want to share with your doggy. You can rest assured we would treat your doggy as if it were ours. Also, anything under 10.5 miles for more than 1 day I offer pick up and dropp off. I work from home and have a very tight routine in our home that will help your pet feel calm and secure. Since pets thrive on routine it will bring them peace and calmness. I can give extra walks when it's a nice day and make sure we stay active if need or relaxed and enjoying a lazy "dog day". I have a quiet, grassy backyard that gives dogs a calm place to sniff, stretch their legs, and enjoy fresh air. It's a low-stress space that's great for potty breaks and relaxed outdoor time. I'm very mindful of which dogs are a good fit for my space and always put safety and comfort first so that your pups feel happy and at ease while they're with me. Doggies are allowed on our beds and couches and even our bathrooms :) - we keep a light sense of humor

About: I’m known to host pups while my friends are out for the evening or for the weekend. I enjoy spending quality time with dogs whether it be lounging or going for a walk! I’m currently working from home and love having a furry companion during my daily walks. I love cuddling up with a dog and watching reality tv on weeknights. The community I live in has a dog park and trails nearby to provide pups with plenty of movement, sunlight, and quality time in and outside the home.

About: Something that sets me apart is that I’m a dog trainer, actively pursuing to achieve certification for professional dog trainer. I participate regularly with dog training and actively see a dog training mentor weekly. I have loved dogs since I was very little. I do a pretty good job at reading their body language and how to anticipate their next moves.I’m able to reduce the anxiety a dog might have being away from you and with a new person. I use positive reinforcement by being gentle and firm and I try to be fun and playful with the dog or puppy. I have two dogs. I actively take them out, I feed them every morning and night. I bathe when they need it. I walk them and take them to dog classes or improve any behavior issues they might have or come across. Apart from my dogs, I participle imagine dog training classes as a student and to demonstrate dog training techniques. Such as: Sitting, downing, standing, staying and walking nicely in lead, etc. Maintaining owners schedule such as feeding, walking, medications, etc. Ensuring the cleanliness of the dog and dog waste in the yard or other properties. I will actively play with the dogs to tire them out and do what I can to ensure the health and enjoyment of the dog.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds — playful pups, mellow seniors, and everything in between. My experience started with helping my sister care for her dogs, and over the years, I’ve walked, fed, and looked after dogs for friends, neighbors, and family. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to each dog’s personality and needs. I have a quiet home and a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely explore, relax, and enjoy the fresh air. With me, your dog will be loved, understood, and truly cared for — just like they deserve. I mostly work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pup throughout the day. I’m available for daytime check-ins, boarding, and doggy stays at my place. I can also pick up and drop off your dog if needed — making things easier for you. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or a cozy place to stay while you’re away, I’m here and happy to help. I offer a calm and loving environment with a fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and relax. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and routine, whether they need space or lots of cuddles. I can easily crate your dog if that’s part of their routine. My goal is always to make your dog feel secure, understood, and cared for — just like they would at home.

About: As a dog owner, playing with your dog every day might not be easy. But, there is another way to make them happy. I and my dog Grady welcome your furry friend and play with and guard them while you are not around. I’m mostly open during the daytime. I offer periodically a daycare and a boarding. I take a walk with your dog to get to know each other. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime if you have any questions or concerns! I have a fenced yard and a dog (WPG). He welcomes furry friends and spending time with yours. Our kids love to see and play with yours also.

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve helped friends and neighbors by providing dependable pet sitting, dog walking, and daily care while they were away. I’ve also been a pet owner for over 15 years, caring for both a small Shih Tzu and a large Golden Retriever weighing over 80 pounds, so I’m comfortable handling pets of all sizes and energy levels. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, basic routines, and making sure pets feel safe and loved in their home environment. I also have experience caring for cats, including feeding and cleaning litter boxes. I treat every pet like my own and understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part-time from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available both during the week and on weekends. This means I can provide consistent care, regular walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day, depending on your pet’s needs. I care for pets as if they were my own, whether they are in my home or in their own familiar space. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved by sticking closely to their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I enjoy spending quality time with them, giving them attention, affection, and exercise based on their needs and energy level. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, walks, and any special routines. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of companionship so they never feel lonely while their owners are away. My goal is to help every pet feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for.

About: I am a lifelong dog parent, with over 4 decades of experience with many different breeds; ranging from Terriers to Labs, Shepherds, Huskys, Bully Breeds, Hounds, Herding dogs, Sporting and Working breeds, Toy groups, and many mixed breeds. I am home nearly around the clock, and committed full time to giving great care and attention to my highly -valued dog guests. I have spent decades frequenting the lake county dog parks; studying their behaviors and interactions with other dogs and with people, which has been an invaluable learning experience for me. I have a very laid back and easy-going approach and style that I have had great success with in relating to and connecting with dogs and their pet parents. I am very tuned in to their body language, and very adept at reading their emotions. My home is on a 1/2 acre fenced in wooded lot with a cabin like interior and country atmosphere that is both welcoming , safe, and fun for my dog guests, and I make it a top priority to treat your dogs like family. I also have lake access with a private beach if your dog(s) like to swim. I frequent the lake county dog parks and would love to take your dogs along if that is something you are comfortable with. I am very flexible - and typically available 7 days per week. I am available nights, weekends, and holidays. Ideally allow for two days advance notice. Safety is my top priority. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in lot, and a very warm and comfortable dog friendly home, that was once a summer cottage close to Round Lake. I am on a quiet dead end road which is very safe for walks, as well as freedom to roam the yard. My goal is to customize my services to meet your dogs needs, whatever they may be. I will treat your pets as I do my own- like family- lots of fun, exercise and plenty of TLC.

About: I’ve had multiple dogs growing up. I love going on walks and letting them take their time. Sometimes it’s like they walk me haha. I even taught my childhood dogs how to shake paws and to sit! I’m available most days! I work online so my schedule is determined by me. I’m available to take care of someone’s special baby! I’m a very active person so taking dogs out isn’t a problem. I have a cat that I regularly play with. I clean her space daily and change her bowls out. As for dogs, I take my mother’s dog on a walk about three times a day when I visit her.
