About: Hello! My name is Elena, and I specialize in caring for dogs of all backgrounds—including rescues, seniors, and pets with unique needs. As the owner of three rescue dogs myself, I understand that every pup has their own personality, history, and comfort level. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with: Recognizing stress, fear, and anxiety cues Supporting dogs with behavioral quirks or anxieties Providing consistent routines, medication if needed, and patient care When I care for your pet, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. You can expect timely communication, photo updates, and a sitter who truly respects the bond you share with your furry family member. Your pets will be cared for as if they were my own—because I know how much trust it takes to leave them with someone new. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, allowing me to provide consistent and reliable care for your furry friend. As a nursing student, I have honed my skills in time management, responsibility, and compassionate care, which seamlessly translate into my pet care services. Ensuring the safety, trust, and well-being of pets is paramount. In my home, I maintain a pet-proofed environment with secure locks and designated safe zones, ensuring cleanliness and comfort with regular cleaning and a consistent schedule of feeding, walks, and enrichment activities. Health monitoring is a priority, with regular checks for signs of illness and immediate veterinary attention if needed.

About: I have had dogs as pets since a child and love animals of any kind. I have cared for dogs and cats along with dog walking for many years, including puppies and reactive dogs. I have a reactive dog myself and have experience walking and caring for reactive and anxious dogs. I have experience with a prong collar. Your pet will be my main focus and priority and I will love them like my own. I am currently a stay at home mom and can be flexible with my schedule. Just let me know what you are looking for and I can make arrangements. I take care of animals like they are my own, they will have all of my focus and attention and love. Drop in visits and walking services available.

“Rylie was great while we were on vacation! This was my first time using Rover, and we were very happy with our experience! We will absolutely plan to use Rylie again in the future!”

About: I've had cats my entire life and have volunteered at an animal shelter. While I only have one cat now, I've cared in-depth for dogs, reptiles, rabbits, and other small mammals. I've helped care for a senior pet that needed regular meds and frequent reprieves for bladder control. I have a full time job, so I am able to care for your pets first thing in the mornings before I go to work and then after I am finished with my workday, so if your pet is used to the normal 8-5 hours of being alone, I’m a perfect fit for your family! I am familiar with socialization, crate training, daily activity, and all-around love that is required for dogs and cats. I am no stranger to the more hands-off needs of a small mammal or scaled friend, and am comfortable handling all sorts of pets. I am respectful of a client's home and will treat it as if it were my own. I do ask that I can adjust the temperature and that I will be comfortable staying in your home.

About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to independent cats. I am comfortable caring for senior pets, ensuring they get the proper attention and care they need- as long as instructions can be provided to maintain routines and medical needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing gentle care, companionship, and a safe environment. Wether it’s keeping up with a puppy, a shy cat, or providing extra comfort for an aging pet, I would be honored to be trusted with your furry family members. I currently am a full time Software Engineering student at Loyola University! Currently, most of my coursework is online other than Tuesdays and Thursdays. This limits my availability on those days for additional pet care. My flexible online schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week, ensuring they receive attention and care they deserve. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, playtimes, and check-ins, making pet care a natural and enjoyable part of my routine. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment for all animals in my care. My home has a large yard with fencing where I can comfortably walk one’s pet outdoors while remaining safe. I have two cats and one dog in the home, so I do carefully manage introductions and limit interactions if needed to ensure all pets are comfortable. For dogs, I can crate or pen if needed, providing them with personal space, or allow them to roam safely on a leash outside while ensuring they are well cared for inside. For cats, I prioritize an stress-free environment, providing personal space and ensuring quiet areas to retreat to. I understand feline body languages and can understand shy, playful, or independent cats to ensure their comfort.

About: My uncle bred certified schnauzers and I was always willing to lend a hand where needed. I also grew up around other breeds such as German Shepard, beagles, Shitzus, Great Pyrenees and many others. So I am fine with any size dog. I am off almost every weekend and have a lot of time on my hands during the day. I do this because currently I can’t have a dog so I plan on treating yours as my own. I will respect your home as if it’s my own. Shoot need a little clean up I will sure be down to do a little cleaning.

“Shawn is amazing. He responds quickly and did an amazing job taking care of my needy cat. He went up and one and we're do grateful for him. Thank you so much Shawn!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire childhood and in my adult life that I love but I couldn’t wait to have a dog of my own to take care of and train. I have a rotating 48/96 schedule at work that allows me to have multiple different days off throughout the week. Jason works from home so he is always available to your pets for boarding and doggy day care. We have one very friendly and loving Goldendoodle that would love for other dogs to play with him. He loves going to the dog park so that would be available throughout the day as well. We are also able to crate your dog if necessary.

“Tami was always right on time. All of my animals were comfortable with her. She did a great job with all of them. This was the first time we have left our fur babies with someone they didn't already know. We were nervous but now we are at ease as long as Tami is available.”

About: I have grown up with dogs. We’ve had variety of different breeds from huskies to little pomeranians. My doggo’s name's are Bernie, Eevee, and Lexus. I will provide quality care for your animals. I have 3 cats, 3 dogs, a bearded dragon, a snake, pacman frog, and birds. Pet care fits into my every day routine. I love animals. There are local dog parks that I would take your fur baby to if your dog gets along with others. I will walk your dog for you if that is what you require. My dogs are completely fine being around other dogs so if you're comfortable with it I can bring my puppy to play!(:

“Tiffany is wonderful! Very good with my puppy. She communicates very well if there are any scheduling changes and is flexible.”

“Emily is absolutely amazing. We have four cats. Emily was very attentive on who got fed what and where and made sure everyone was happy and doing well when we were on our trip. Emily is very responsive, responsible and kind. Our cats warmed up to her right away! Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a sitter.”

Cat M.

“We were recently chosen by a stray cat. He’s become our indoor/outdoor cat. He warmed up to her so quickly! She took great care of him and bonded with him while we were gone. It usually takes awhile for him to warm up to new people.”

Jill H.

“Jason is a great care taker of our dogs and has bonded so well with them. He is responsive with timely communication and also provides good updates.”

Chris J.

“100% recommend! Rachel was on time, trustworthy and even followed up on an issue my dog had to make sure I was aware. He loved her! Thank you Rachel for a wonderful experience!”

Evette R.

“Hannah was professional and responsive throughout the visits for our plethora of cats. She successfully navigated a power outage at our home and took the initiative to fill water bowls after their bubbler lost power. She communicated throughout the visit and did a great job, our cats were in good hands!”

About: I’ve been caring for my 17 year old puggle since the 3rd grade. I also have experience with big dogs, as I had a mastiff too! I’m skilled in walks, baths, feeding, and cleanups, and I treat every dog with love, care, and patience. I have experience with many different dog personalities, as my household has fostered dogs for a couple years now too! No matter the size, your pup will feel at home with me! I’m a college student at American University. My class schedule this spring allows me to be available everyday around 3! So I have a flexible schedule allowing me to easily work around your dog’s needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or feeding, I’ll make sure your pup gets the love, time, dedication, and care they deserve! I can provide pet care in your home, and depending on your preference, or your pups! If I care for your pet in your home, I’ll stick to your routine and ensure your dog feels comfortable and loved while you're away. I focus on giving lots of attention, play, and care, just like I would for my own dog!

About: I had 2 cats and a dog growing up! No pets currently but happy to play and take care of yours! Currently cannot watch any pets at my home but happy to complete as many home visits as necessary as long as you are relatively close by:) I am not currently working full time and my schedule is fairly flexible. I am happy to discuss any extra care needed for your pet. I am happy to follow specific instructions/feeding schedules as needed. I will also completed any necessary home care tasks as wanted as long as discussed prior.

About: Hey there! My name is Diamond, & I am what you would call DEDICATED. I will forever go above & beyond for every 4-leg (and 2-leg) individual that I come into contact with! (I have 200+ pictures to prove it! ❤️) I wish to meet & love on every dog & cat in the world….and I believe I am moving into the right direction to do just that ☺️ I am absolutely ecstatic to meet, care for & love on your pup! I’m always available for a meet & greet, (free of charge) you pick the date! I have over 30 years of experience with dogs. I was actually raised with two BEAUTIFUL, massive, well-trained, protective & just outright AMAZING Rottweilers in my home. I’ve always had passionate soft spot for each & every animal in the world, but dogs became my absolute favorite! Growing up, my father was (and still is) a professional dog trainer. I was intrigued while attending many sessions to watch him & learn how he trained most dogs under 1 day! And of course my favorite part was meeting every pup at the end of each class! I’ve found myself looking for the perfect pet sitter for my now deceased Rottweilers, quite a few times. Which eventually led me to become the pet sitter that I myself used to search for! ☺️ I enjoy & cherish all dogs, I assure you no dog is too big or small and all senior or baby pups are welcomed as well ❤️ Most of the time I am available 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week. I make sure to update my calendar daily so that you are seeing accurate availability on your end! I love to go on long walks, slow morning jogs, and enjoy nature with a bike ride through the trails a few blocks away from my home. There’s also a lakefront just a few blocks away! If your doggy wants extra curricular activity, that’s just what they’ll get! Their exercise will fit right into my daily exercise routine ☺️ Going on Adventures with your pups is what I look forward to! Be prepared to come back to a TIRED but relaxed & calm pup. We’ll be sure to send you a TON of pictures so you can see exactly how much fun we had ☺️ We can also have laid back days, cuddles on the couch while I’m intrigued by a good book or watching a good Netflix or Hulu series. Whichever way the the day may go… both you & your pup will be completely satisfied! I do my best to avoid household accidents. Therefore, your dog will go out to relieve themselves every 2 hours. (Every hour can also be accommodated if needed.) From past experiences, I’ve realized that mimicking routines & rules exactly how they are done in the pets home, at my own home alleviates a lot of stress. They may be in a new environment but their routine & schedule will be the same in my home. Example: If your pup is allowed on furniture at home, the pup is allowed on furniture at my home. If your pup is not allowed on furniture at home, your pup is not allowed on furniture in my home. I will ask you specific questions so that I keep the schedule of walking, feeding, & playing very similar if not the exact same, as you would at home. I can also provide positive dog/puppy training with the clicker or with treats. My goal is for you to never stress about needing a pet sitter ever again & for your pup to forget that you’re away ❤️ I am available 24/7. My twins & I go for walks/bike rides daily already, so your pup will fit right in with our daily routine! I also have a HUGE backyard! Your pup will love playing fetch with the freedom to run as far as they want without a care in the world! I care for pets the same way I would care for a toddler (they’re very similar lol!) Making sure all chemicals, irritants, or any hazardous products are all stored somewhere that’s high up and/locked away, feeding on schedule, bathrooms breaks on schedule or when signs of needing to go to bathroom are shown, and plenty of exercise, toys, water & nap time!
