About: I’ve lived with and cared for dog my whole life, from labs, Great Pyreneeses, mutts, and others in between! I have supported my hometown neighbors with caring for their animals, whether that’s by walking, feeding, bathing, administering medication - I’m comfortable with it all. Over the past 7 years I have been a mom to two cats and have helped friends and family care for their felines. I truly believe our pets are family to us and I treat all animals with all the love and care they deserve 🤍 I’m currently working part time, so I have flexibility in my schedule to help care for your furry friends! I currently reside in Northwest Indiana and work on the southside of Chicago on Thursdays and Fridays, but if you are needing my services I’m open to discussing how I can meet your scheduling needs 😊 I am not currently offering care for animals in my home due to my two year old cat who has not quite yet met other animals. However I am more capable of caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home.

About: I truly believe pets have the sweetest souls and can form the best bonds with us, which makes them not just our babies, but our best loyal friends. I have had pets in my home my whole life and I can't imagine it any other way. From snuggles to playing or walking your dog ( if hired for dog walking) I will treat them as if they are my own, with love and attention. I love the many personalities of each fury friend and getting to know each one and connect with them. I am currently working part time during the day but can adjust my schedule. To do drop ins in the early morning, afternoon's and evenings! Feel free to message me so we can work something out! I am not currently offering pet care in my home however I am happy to come to your home for drop in visits and dog walking!

“Figured out how to use the app finally! Really good experience! If you folks have read my profile, you know that my dog is a large, powerful, mixedbreed. Not for inexperienced handler/owners. Even though I'm an experienced dog person and have done much training with Mariusz, these breeds, because of their consitution, size, temperment, etc. can require a strong leader. Mariusz is powerfully built and he works out too. Literally. Katelynn was able to control him with no issue. Mariusz was a very happy dog after the walk. He had a lot of fun being with her. He had that dog smile on his face; he got out a lot of energy. We hope Katelynn can walk him again . Would def recommend her !”

About: I've had many years of dog experience. Working in a dog Inn, I've met dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments. From very anxious pups to reactive older dogs, I can garentee your pup will be well loved under my care. I've been doing training for several years, we practice positive reinforcement training in our home. My own pup is special needs, being born with megaesophagus. It is important to me to make sure your pup feels safe and comfortable in my care, and if your pup needs some special attention I will happily help! Im working a part time job, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! Any day of the week, no matter of early or late. If your dog was to stay in our home, we have a lovely half an acre yard for them to play in. I have two friendly pups in my home, but I also have two extra rooms. So if your pup wants to be alone and play, my dogs will be put away in their kennels while your pup is around. If your pup needs to be kenneled, that works too! They would have a quiet room to be kenneled in. Making sure your pup is comfortable is our biggest priority, whether it's in my home or yours!

About: I’ve had pets of all kinds my whole life. I love playing, walking, training, and cuddling! I am very patient with pets in their learning stages, as well as supportive to their needs as they get older. I work from home with occasionally delivery driving on my own schedule. I have a lot of free time to care for pets of all kinds! I have a fenced in back yard, two medium sized puppies, and three cats! My three cats are 9, 2 and 3 months. They have their own room that has a dog barrier with a cat door for them to come and go as they please.

About: My husband and I are very unique. We would have a farm if we could. We live in a smaller home, but have so much love between our pets and kids. I hope we can raise our 3 kids to love animals as much as we do. I have been a pet sitter for about 15 years, but grew up in a house of animals. My family's huge animal lovers. I have stayed for weeks at a time with families, dog walked, issued medicine to pets, and just simply stopped in to let them out and hang for a bit. We have had dogs and cats stay with us while families are on vacation and made it work perfectly. My kids knowing they are small, are great w the animals too. I am just excited to make your fur baby feel safe and loved while you're away. *Update: We just added bathing and nail clipping as an add on option! My husband's mom owned the Canine Clipper that was in business for over 30 years. He grew up as cheap labor for 15 years in the shop washing, drying and trimming nails of any cats and dogs that came. We do not offer grooming services as that is not in our wheelhouse. Have you pet come home feeling and smelling fresh! I just had our new baby born on August 8th this year. I have three boys that I am obsessed with. I love being a boy mama 💙 I am a personal trainer but have cut back on hours so I can hang w my kids while they are young. I sometimes forget about how I was a nanny for 10 years and a dog sitter for about 15. I would love to do my passion again knowing I have so much more free time at home. My 5 year old is in school all day, my 3 year old has preschool twice a week for 2 hrs, and my newborn just goes for the ride. I'm always home on the weekends, and during the week I'm always looking to do something-which I would love to show my kids how to treat animals. If your pet is not good w kids, I can also drop them off w their grandma for a bit. I always make it happen ❤️ She loves some grandson time. All our pets are spoiled because they are our family too. Our dogs have dog beds all around, even though they sleep on couches and beds w us. The cats have cat towers and toys and get the free range of the house. We used to have a nanny because I wanted someone here for the kids, but also the pets. It always made me feel better knowing someone would always be there for them too.

About: I have trained all my dogs from puppies to adults. I have the experience with handicap dogs. I have experience from puppies to senior dogs. I’m in the medical field so I have days off during the week. It works out great so I can do drop in visits/walks through out the day! I would go to client’s homes to do drop in visits and walking. Whichever worked best for the client. Also feed and play if needed.

“Mackenzie is great to work with! She was super responsive and accommodating when we arranged the initial pet care schedule. And it’s truly wonderful to see how much care and love she gives our pets.”

About: The care I have for dogs goes above and beyond. Wether it be small dogs, or big dogs, i’m always up for a challenge. I have had experience with both small and bigger dogs. I used to have a pug named Daisy and a bull mastiff named Buddy, just to give notice of the difference in size I have accustomed too. I have since gotten a black female pug named Nova, who will be 7 on July 16. I also have two big breeds, Charlie, who is a german shepard/lab mix, and Daisy, who’s a mutt. I have always had a love for animals, especially dogs, since I was only 6 years old. But then again, what kid hasn’t? Nursing school takes up half of my schedule, so that leaves the other half to love up on my own pups (or even yours!) Owning 3 dogs may seem like a lot of work, but it’s the craziness from it that keeps me sane. Going from owning a lazy, sleepy pug, to an energetic crazed lab, I’ve gotten accustomed to caring for dogs with different needs. I feed my dogs two meals a day, while also maintaining time to make sure they are playing enough to get their energy out. I attempted to crate train my dogs, but at the end of the day, I think they want cuddles more than I do! I can be lenient, but stern when it comes to behavior or needs.

About: I grew up with two cats Blackie and Bobcat while playing with my aunt’s corgis named Bowser occasionally. Always loved him. Later in adulthood I met good people at a job I had. I’ve been dog sitting for them when they go on trips for 4 years. They referred me to their neighbor last year and I dog sit for him as well. I love to cuddle, pet and play with them. I’m currently working on building an online copywriting business and want to provide pet services as I go along. I do play hockey on Friday nights. As a dog sitter, I like to double check gates, locks, doors before letting them outside. I do not like feeding the pups from the table unless it’s okayed by my clients. Please inform me of any special needs, medication schedules, and your walking practices.

About: I am a dedicated dog lover and sitter. I provide personalized care for each dog, focusing on their unique needs. With a bit of experience and local knowledge, I ensure a safe and fun environment. I treat every dog like my own, providing regular updates and love while you’re away. I am currently working part time, and would love to fill the rest of the time with my other passion of pet sitting for the community. I make sure pets have their needs and time such as food, exercise, grooming, and training. My dogs and cats at home are very loving and I think the main reason is for the attention I spend with each one.

“Very excellent dog walker .She was great with our 4 legged kids. Would definitely use again when in this area.”

About: Hello! My name is Courtney B. I’m 29 years old and can say I’ve been an animal lover for all those years! I’ve always been surrounded by animals growing up from cats & dogs to birds and lizards! My favorite thing about them all is their unique personalities. I’ve taken care of a countless number of animals and have helped family and friends with theirs when needed! I recently lost my favorite pup in the world and that was the most heartbreaking day ever!!! But I still have my cat to keep me company on the sad days. She is my little snuggle bug. Animals are my passion! I hope I am considered in taking care of your beautiful pups & kitties! I would love nothing more. I am currently working online from home so I have all the time in the world to care for your pets! I am very flexible. I live in a house with a big back yard, whether you need your pet to be taken out on a leash or I also have a doggy tie-out anchor which I can hook your pup up to to enjoy the outside on it’s own with being securely fastened. I have hooked up large breed-dogs to it and have had no problem!

About: I’ve taken care of animals and dogs ever since I was a child from horses, to geese to dogs. I’ve been a dog owner for over 10 years from senior dogs to puppies. I love animals and want to provide their home away from home. I’m a part time nurse. The same care and compassion that I give my patients I will be sure to give your animals.I treat every animal as of their my own and my house is their house. I’m currently employed part time working 1-3 days a week. My hours are flexible and fluctuate leaving valuable time for all pet care needs. My pets and your pets are a priority. I have 2 dogs of my own to keep yours company and have play time. I do not have a fenced in yard however have an acre lot and plenty of area where I may take your fur baby for a walk and potty breaks. I have two children who love dogs as much as I do and can’t wait to love your fur baby like their own. I treat all pets as part of the family and will be loved as such. If my dogs are on the couch yours will be as well!

“Thanks so much”

About: My 17 years of experience as a dog owner has given me a deep understanding of each dogs unique needs and behaviors. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all ages and sizes—whether in my home or theirs—tailoring my care based on each dog’s unique needs. Whether it's providing extra attention for senior dogs, teaching a puppy basic manners, or adapting to any special requirements, I make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and well-cared for. Since my Australian Shepherds don’t have a flock of sheep to herd, I’m their "job" instead! When I’m at home, they’re my loyal little shadows. They’re surprisingly chill for Aussies, but I like to think it’s because I’m an awesome dog mom... and they’re technically working most of the day as my supervisors. They make sure everything runs smoothly by reminding me if I'm even a minute late with their meals, when it’s time for potty breaks, when to wake up my son, when it’s time to play—the list goes on! I offer caring and reliable dog sitting and walking services tailored to keep your pup happy, healthy, and engaged. As a proud owner of two Australian Shepherds, I understand the importance of attention, exercise, and companionship for dogs. Whether it's a stroll around the neighborhood, a quick potty break, or some fun playtime in a safe and nurturing environment, I’ll make sure your dog feels right at home while you’re away. I provide both in-home dog sitting, so your dog can remain in the comfort of their own space, as well as dog sitting at my home for longer care needs. My dogs are friendly and enjoy making new friends, so your pup will have plenty of companionship during their stay. While I do have a crate available if needed, please note that I do not have a fenced-in yard. My dogs love off-leash play, so if your dog needs to be kept on a leash outdoors, please provide clear care instructions to ensure their safety and comfort.

About: Hello!! I cant wait to meet your fur babies. I have had dogs my whole life and absolutely adore their company. I have experience pet sitting for 8 dogs, meeting each of their individual needs, which includes giving medication. Whether it be pet sitting or dog walking, I'm here for you and your pets needs. I work from home, so I am always able to let your dog out on time, have playtime, and provide meals. Let me know if you have a strict schedule for your pup and I will maintain it. :) I will make sure your pet is safe during walks, and drop in visits. If your have a set schedule for your pup I will do the same. I also have a fenced yard for them to safely go outside.
