“Julia was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Sammie. Sammie is very shy and can take time to warm up to new people, but Julia was so patient, understanding, and gentle with her. She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos where I could easily see how comfortable and happy Sammie was in her care. It’s clear Julia truly loves dogs and treats them like her own.

We highly recommend Susan as a care taker as she is kind, responsive and her love for dogs is just wonderful. Thank you so much Susan and looking forward to the next time”

We felt completely comfortable having Piper in her care and would absolutely love to use Isabel’s dog-sitting services again. Highly recommend!”

It was scary for us to leave Winston with someone he didn’t know but Karlee made it so easy for us and we’re so grateful <3”
“Erick deserves every last bit of his star sitter status! He is so incredibly kind, so reliable, and dedicated to the paw parents and of course the fur babies! I feel so lucky that we have Erick! He’s completely apart of our family at this point. Thank you so much for everything Erick!!!!!!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of the pets of friends and neighbors many times over the years, and I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats. I am willing to do whatever our little friends need, including long walks and cleaning up messes. I am also good at adapting to the needs and personalities of the pet - for instance, taking an energetic pup for a run to get out their energy. I will also make sure that they get their daily dose of love and attention! I have plenty of time to look after pets these days, as my only other commitment is studying. Studying can be done in any setting, so I can make that compatible with pet sitting and walks throughout the day. I am willing to spend up to a few days at a client’s home, and have the time to drop in multiple times a day for feeding, walking, and playing with the pets. My style is to take care of their needs first (food, water, etc), and then to make sure they are played with and given attention!
“Alison was great! She came in daily to walk our dog while we were out of town, and we felt extremely happy that confident that our dog was well taken care of. The photos she provided daily were great. We'd love to use her services again, and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker/sitter.”
“Mariah is fantastic! Penny is a very picky dog (we tried 3 different walkers before Mariah and they didn't jive well with her) but Penny loves Mariah and took to her immediately! She is thoughtful and her communication skills are fantastic - she always communicates her concerns with me and is always quick to respond! We definitely plan to use her as long as possible!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and enjoy spending time with them! I have 2 dachshunds at my family’s house. I have also previously fostered kittens and older cats. I’m studying for my national certification exam, so I currently have lots of flexibility in my schedule. Would love to schedule lots of walks to be outside more often! I want your animals to be as comfortable as possible and would love to be able to stick to any routine you already have set up for them, whether that’s treats after walks or certain times they go in crates. I’m very flexible.
“Erica is AWESOME!! She made us feel super comfortable and I can tell by the photos that our dog was loving all the attention! Erica is very communicative and reliable. If you’re choosing someone - Erica is your gal! 😊”
About: I grew up babysitting from a young age, which sparked my passion for caring for others. That same love of caregiving naturally extended to animals, and I truly enjoy providing pets with the attention, patience, and affection they deserve. I work from home three days a week, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to give your pet the attention they deserve! I am available for overnight visits as well! I believe every pet is happiest when their routine is maintained, so I’ll follow your care instructions closely and treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care I would my own. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. In my client’s home, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences your pet has. I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, companionship, and affection so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away.
About: From growing up with dogs to watching many neighbors pets I’ve never gone a day in my life without at least petting a pooch! I have watched dogs with an age range of 8 weeks to senior citizens as well as dogs with special needs like diabetes. I can walk, feed, bath, crate and meet any other needs you may have for your best friend! I’m currently waiting for my job to begin so I’ll have lots of time to watch your pet! I can do multiple daily walks, and will get up as early as needed to get that morning walk in! I take your rules and boundaries with your pets seriously. Rest assured your pet will be treated with the same love and care you give. I understand the level of trust you are putting in me and I aim to exceed those expectations.
About: I have over a decade of experience caring for dogs of various breeds, including dog walking and dog-sitting. Personally, I grew up with dogs and love the joy they bring! I am a PhD student working on my dissertation, so I am relatively flexible with my time when I am not writing! Generally, I am available 7 days a week from morning to the evening. I want to ensure the most positive and safe experience for your pup, so please ask me what your needs are and we can work together to identify the best accommodation!
“Sky was awesome walking my German shepherd! She kept me updated and took great care of my pupper. She was respectful of my home and followed instructions. Will definitely hire her again!”
About: Just moved to Chicago and missing my fur family back home! I grew up in a household where we had at least two pets at a time, most likely three, so it was very normal to come home to. Fun fact: we've bred two of our Labrador retrievers! At these points in time, we've had up to 10 animals in the house. Outside of volume, I’m very comfortable with high maintenance animals (our cat was a Persian) and larger animals (Labrador retrievers). I work remotely and my apartment is pet friendly so I can make myself accessible most of the time! I work remotely so it fits seamlessly into my schedule and can be pretty flexible. Willing to work around what's best for your pet's needs! My apartment building has a gated area for dogs to play and go to the bathroom. I have toys and a small bed for any dogs that come to my apartment!
About: I have had dogs my whole life, have taken care of dogs many times and have dealt with all different kinds of dogs. I currently volunteer at a dog shelter once a week as well! I currently am a graduate student at UC studying Occupational Therapy, but I always make time for my pups! Trying to get them active each day is very important to me. I have a fenced in yard and I care for my dogs daily, one of them is not very friendly with other dogs so I will not be having any doggy visits in my home.

“Lech was brave enough to take care of my bulldogs for three days. He did a great job checking in and sending pics. More importantly, when Francis and Mr Wrinkles got home, they didn't seem to have been stressed out or anything, which has happened with sitters in the past. Further, Lech was able to take care of my "special needs" dog who is def. And, he was available to pick up and drop off the pair which saved me tons of time. Will def look to book again!”

“Sharon was absolutely wonderful!! We will certainly reach out to her anytime we need someone to watch Betty in the future! She shared lots of updates and photos as well are really integrated our dog Betty into her family and routine which was so important to us!! When we picked Betty up we could tell she was so so happy and comfortable with Sharon and got lots of playtime and love! Sharon made sure there were plenty of walks, park and/outdoor time based on what is best for the dogs! For example one day is was very hot and she set up a pool in the backyard for Betty and her dog! I highly recommend Sharon especially if you have a dog like my Golden Retriever who would much rather be around other people and dogs than in a crate!”
“Katie was a great sitter. She frequently updated and let me know how my dog was. He seemed every happy at her place. Her dog is always very friendly and got along just fine with mine. Thanks again :)”
