“From the moment Teddy entered E. K's home it was like I didn't exist. Kind of like dropping off your kids at preschool and they don't say goodbye. Teddy had a great day with the other dogs especially Allie and will definitely be back.”
“Timothy is our puppy’s favorite sitter (and ours too!). It’s clear he really understands and empathizes with dogs of all ages and sizes. We’ve had multiple stays at Timothy’s place, and every time our dog comes home happy, well-cared for and occasionally having made new dog friends! We especially appreciate the way he handles our rambunctious labrador puppy- calm, kind, and confident. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in good hands. We’re grateful to have found him, highly recommend!”

Would love to take care of yours. I work full time from home, so I have ample amount of time to hang out with your pups (no matter the age, dogs are forever pups in my eyes!). I have an almost 17 year old pup who naps most of the day but is always excited for his walks! I live in a low traffic area and just down the street from a fenced grass area we play in. In case there’s rain, I have a covered area to take the pups out so they still get some fresh air.

About: I’ve taken care of or have had animals since I was a child. Currently I have a cat named Ida who is very sweet & affectionate. I always strive for a 5-star experience, but my top priority will always be the safety of the pets in my care. I chose to refuse a request to take a cat outside without a harness, as the flight risk was far too high. It resulted in a low rating, but I will never compromise an animal's safety. I just graduated with a Master’s of Social Work. Before beginning my career, I’m taking some down time and taking care of animals. This gives me the ability to prioritize your pets needs! My environment is animal friendly. I have a fenced in back yard and live near a park. I have a cat named Ida who is welcoming to new animals inside our home. I allow animals on my bed and furniture.

“I couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care Chauntrell gave my pup while I was away! From the moment we connected, he was communicative, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. He sent daily updates, photos, and even little notes about how my dog was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. Chauntrell was so patient and gentle with him it didn’t take long before he was completely comfortable and excited for their walks. He treated my pup like he was their own, and that means the world to me. I highly recommend Chauntrell to anyone looking for someone dependable, loving, and professional.

I’m currently working part time online where I can work as little or as much as I want to, so my schedule is wide open! Even for overnight needs. I am able to do whatever is asked of me, the most important thing to me is respecting a pets boundaries, especially when getting to know them.
About: I am a lifetime dog owner, volunteer with Last Hope. I foster and rescue with PAWS. I volunteer for the animal program at The Nettlehorst School, and plan to open an animal sanctuary. I work part time and have flexible hours. I can meet almost any scheduling needs and will work with you to do what's best for you and your animal(s). My building has an indoor fenced dog park. I have an apartment with a large outdoor balcony. I will focus on your pet's safety above all else.
About: I've had dogs in my family since as long as I can remember. Have always loved them and their loving nature. I currently have a mini-dachshund with my wife and he completes our family. Although he is a small dog I've had bigger dogs all my life and have experience handling them. Your dog will be in great hands! I am a full time remote worker. I usually walk my own dog twice a day and I really enjoy these walks. It gets me out of the house and I realize this is a time for the dogs to also experience the world so I practice patience with them and make sure they get a good long walk. I live with my mini dachshund, who means the world to me. He is a beloved part of my family and gets spoiled with endless love and affection. In return, he fills my life with that same love and brings me so much joy every day.
About: Natalia and I both have had dogs for most of our lives and get tons of joy from being around dogs all the time. We even met each other with our dogs. Life with Pepper, our miniature dachshund, is full of laughs, strolling around the neighborhood, and endless cuddling. She is always making us laugh with her larger than life personality. We plan to get another dog, and in the meantime, we would be happy to hang out with yours if you need a sitter while you head out of town. Pepper loves dogs, and they will be running around and cuddling and playing most of the day. Pepper has lived with dogs before and likes to have friends over. We look forward to helping out with your pup! Update: Welcome to Lola, our new lab rescue! Update 2026: Sadly, Pepper crossed the rainbow bridge in 2024, and now we have a wonderful scruffy rescue, Tallulah! Stay tuned for added photos as we move along!
About: I’ve had my own pets and taken care of others’ pets for decades. I love playing with cats, taking walks with dogs, throwing the ball, and I’m a big-time cuddler. I work from home on my own technology business and I’m available 24 hours a day all over Chicago. I’m also fine with short notice. We have a fantastic gated park across the street that we love taking puppies to. Inside our house there are a dozen different places for dogs and cats to rest. Drop-off and pick-up are easy here, too, as we have a door right onto the street.
About: I have always loved dogs and all animals. I have a small and friendly pomeranian. Your pets would have full range of my apartment.

“My pup is always excited to see her! She’s careful to make sure she’s well exercised and safe on their walks, and always checks in with me before taking her to new places (ie a new dog park) :) would book with her any day.”
About: I grew up with two big dogs who were more than a handful and walked them around my neighborhood when I was younger. When I moved to the city my favorite weekends were when my cousin asked me to dog sit because who doesn't love some puppy love? I am responsible and will treat your dog with the same level of love that I'm sure you treat them yourself. I have experience walking smaller dogs all the way up to big woofers who need a little extra attention. In the past, many of the dogs I've watched haven't been the best with other dogs so I have a lot of experience with taking routes that avoid other dogs and how to manage the situation if we do run into one. I've watched dogs for friends and family members who all have specific instructions for the way their dogs should be handled and I understand the importance of stability in a dog's routine whether at home or when walking! I hope I can meet your lovely furry friends soon!
