“Nicole did a great job walking my dogs plus she did a few extra things for me around my house. I’m recovering from hip surgery & she offered to do whatever I needed. I highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve been around all types of dogs my whole life, from puppies to seniors. Along with house sitting for family and friends, I have worked in a kennel and with shelter animals. I am also heading towards a career working with animals! I am working, but am flexible with my schedule. I am usually available afternoons and nights on weekdays and on weekends. I can also make mornings work if needed! I have an anxious boy at home who is not great with other animals, so caring for pets in their home would work best for me. I can follow instructions down to the letter and am adaptable to any schedules in place!

“Deontae was great! I have an anxious and high energy herding dog who can be a handle full, but didnt phase Deontae at all. He also had great communication. I definitely plan on using him again.”

“Five stars are not nearly enough! Stacey is fantastic! She does a great job and really provides you with peace of mind that everyone is well taken care of.”

About: I have professional experience working in veterinary medicine and providing compassionate, attentive care to animals with a wide range of personalities and needs. Through my experience, I have developed skills in recognizing changes in behavior, safely handling pets, administering medications when directed, monitoring overall health and comfort, and helping reduce stress during care. I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust, communication, and consistency are. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in experienced and caring hands. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM–6:00 PM, with Thursdays and weekends off, but I still make time to provide dependable pet care around my schedule. I’m available for morning drop-ins, evening visits, overnight care when planned in advance, and have greater flexibility on Thursdays and weekends for longer visits, walks, and quality time. I understand how important routines are for pets and will work with owners to make sure their pets receive consistent, attentive care that fits their needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. With my background in veterinary medicine and hands-on animal care experience, I pay close attention to behavior, routines, and any signs that a pet may be stressed or uncomfortable. I believe trust is built through communication, consistency, and treating every animal with patience and respect. I work to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away, and I provide updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and experienced hands.

About: Walk. Wag. Repeat. 🐾 Hi, I’m Sebastian! Animals have always been the center of my world, and my business, Silly Moose & Co, is named in honor of my late, beloved dog, Layla. Her nickname was "Silly Moose," and she taught me everything about patience, unconditional love, and the joy of a wagging tail. I founded this business to carry on her legacy by treating every pet I meet with that same "Moose-sized" love. 📬 The "Pet's Best Friend" Professional By day, I’m a Letter Carrier, which truly makes me a pet's best friend! I’m out in the community every day, rain or shine, and I’ve mastered the art of making friends with every pup on the block. My career means I am exceptionally reliable, punctual, and used to being active in all types of weather. 🐾 Rescue-Tested Experience When I’m not on my route, I’m dedicated to rescue work. I am a current volunteer at Sketchy Mutts and Underdogs, and I previously spent time with the ASPCA as a shelter walker and dog photographer. These roles have given me invaluable experience with all personality types—from the shyest "underdogs" needing a patient hand to high-energy pups ready for an adventure. 🐈‍⬛ Tailored Care for Cats While the dogs are out walking, the feline family members aren't forgotten! I offer tailored services specifically for cats. As a "servant" to two cats who rule my own home, I know that every cat is unique—whether they want high-energy laser chasing, gentle brushing, or just some quiet company. I’m happy to handle feedings, litter box maintenance, and plenty of "slow blinks." 🏠 My "Moose" Crew at Home My home is shared with Buttercup, my sweet 5-year-old blue nose Staffordshire Terrier, and my two feline house-rulers. Because I live with a Staffy, I am especially comfortable and experienced with "bully breeds" and larger, powerful dogs. 🤝 The Silly Moose Promise Whether it’s boarding, walking, or house sitting, I know your pets are your family. My background in hospitality and community work means I bring a high level of reliability, attention to detail, and clear communication to every booking. Ready to start the cycle? Let’s Walk. Wag. Repeat. I am a Letter Carrier for the United States Post Office, I love animals and will always make time to meet new friends. I am in a transition phase in my career post injury and am trying to be a full time pet friend. At Silly Moose & Co, my care philosophy is built on the cycle of Walk. Wag. Repeat. I believe that a happy pet is one that feels safe, stimulated, and understood. Here is how I ensure your furry family member gets the best experience: 1. Building Trust Through Patience Every pet has a unique "vibe." Drawing from my experience with Sketchy Mutts and Underdogs, I never force a connection. I use "slow blinks" with cats and respectful body language with dogs to let them come to me. Whether they are shy rescues or high-energy "Silly Mooses," I meet them where they are. 2. Structured Walks & Sensory Play As a Letter Carrier, I know the streets like the back of my hand. I don’t just "walk" dogs; I provide structured outings. This includes sniffing breaks for mental stimulation (sensory play) and consistent pacing to ensure they get the physical exercise they need. 3. Meticulous Routine & Safety Pets thrive on consistency. I stick strictly to your feeding, medication, and bathroom schedules. My background in hospitality means I have a sharp eye for detail—I check water bowls, ensure gates are latched, and keep litter boxes "deep-clean" fresh for my feline clients. 4. Communication is Key I know how much you miss them! You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can see the "Wag" in action. I treat your home with the same respect I give my own, ensuring everything is secure and tidy. 5. Specialized Skills From handling "bully breeds" like my Staffy, Buttercup, to administering medications or even bathing a reluctant cat, I have the hands-on experience to handle the unexpected with a calm, steady hand.

“Jessica did a wonderful job taking care of our dog while we were away. We highly recommend her!”

About: Whether your dog needs a fun walk, overnight boarding, daycare, or drop-in visits, I'll provide the same love, attention, and care as if they were my own. I've been taking care of dogs since a young age. I am an animal lover. Growing up I've owned over 10 dogs. I will treat your fur babies like my own. I love to cuddle, play walk etc. I love animals! I will take care of your fur babies as if they are my own! We will play and go for walks! They will be comfortable and in a safe space until you return! I have had dogs of my own all my life! They just want be loved like we do! So why not love them! I take great joy in walking with them and playing catch! Most dogs are like little humans that can't talk! But they will definitely get their point across. We will be on a schedule of eating and go outside to play and potty. My drop off and pick up times are from 6am-7:25am, 12pm-1pm and any time after 5 Monday-Friday. (can be flexible just let me know the time ahead of time) Saturday and Sunday pick up and drop off anytime. we will play and have fun. As far as eating if they have a certain eating schedule let me know and I can follow by that. Majority of my front yard is fenced. I will go outside to let your dog to use the potty. I also have a big field not far from my home for then to run and be walked around.

“liliana was great with opal. we did have a scheduling mix up on 1 of our 5 days, but the other 4 went smoothly as planned!”

“Raven is very nice, quiet and unobtrusive. She has been flexible figuring where to walk my dogs with all the snow on the ground. I really look forward to the days she comes to walk the dogs!”

Rachael H.

“I appreciated the pictures and the details of the walk. My dog looked very happy and instructions were followed to a T! Great and timely communication too!”

About: While I no longer have pets of my own, I am always pet sitting for my friends and have always had a very close relationship with all animals, big or small! I currently am a Lyft and Uber driver so my schedule is always flexible, making it easy to do this job whenever there is demand! All animals deserve the love that we give to any person (in my opinion!). They need to know that I'm just as much there to protect them as they are to protect me; to create a mutual bond. I give my all when taking care of your pets!

“Paola helped me out last minute and was able to provide 2 long walks for my dog while I worked a 14 hour shift. 💗 She sent me so many pictures and I think he likes her more than he likes me!”

“Above and beyond, so many times!”

About: I go by my middle name, Brandon. I've had pitbulls/pit mixes my whole life (over 40 years) I've got a sweet spot for senior pups and will give them the extra love and care they deserve. And who doesn't love puppies and young doggos. My experience has prepared me to watch after your loved one. I work from home so I'm able to check in whenever it's needed. I typically take my dog almost everywhere I go. My world already revolves around dogs, so I'd love the opportunity to watch after yours. Dogs are family and, as such, they're welcome on all chairs, couches and beds. Unfortunately, my yard is not fenced, but i do live across the street from Garfield Park.

About: Most of my best friends are dogs! I’ve had at least one dog by my side to adventure with for every stage in my life. I come from a dog loving (and spoiling) house. Even today my mom still has several dogs and our household has four of our own. Dogs bring out the best in people and I believe that people should do the same for dogs. Providing them with fun, enrichment, and a healthy lifestyle are things that I believe should be required for pet owners. But I fully understand that there are many things that can get in the way of giving your pooch their well deserved daily adventures. I’m more than happy to stand in and help with fun walks, playtime, and drop in belly scratches when life gets hectic. I’ve always had a knack for befriending dogs and earning their trust. I know that finding someone who will take care of your pup with the same love and care that you require is a serious matter and I’m more than happy to take on that responsibility. I think one of the best ways to judge a person is how they treat our four legged friends. And I’m exceedingly up for the task. I am usually available after morning drop off at school until afternoon pickup and then again in the evening. I've got a very flexible schedule and can accommodate most requests. Happy to follow any preferences and instructions that you provide to keep your pets safe. If there's a favorite spot to walk, we can do that--or I'm happy to scout out new adventures.

“Allison has walked my dog for a week while I have been at work. Her and her boyfriend have done an amazing job with my dog. I would suggest them to others and plan on using them in the future.”
