“My wife and I used Timothy on a trip from Florida to Oshkosh. We were passing through and wanted to take my daughter to the field museum and the shed aquarium. We had our German Shepherd, Sheba, with us, we reached out to Timothy and he agreed to watch Sheba for the afternoon. Timothy went above and beyond.

About: I've been around dogs for most of my life and have always owned them, so caring for them comes naturally to me. My experience comes from raising my own dogs and looking after friends' and family members' pets while they were away. I've cared for both small and medium-sized breeds, including Yorkshire Terriers, French Bulldogs, Pomeranians, and Chow Chows. I currently have two dogs of my own, and because I work from home, I'm able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My two dogs are friendly, energetic, and well-socialized. They love meeting new furry friends and help create a fun, welcoming environment where visiting dogs can enjoy companionship, playtime, and social interaction if they're comfortable with it. I always make introductions carefully and respect each dog's individual personality and comfort level. Every dog has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Whether your pup enjoys playing, relaxing around the house, or simply being close to people, I'll do my best to make their stay feel like a home away from home. I work full time from home, which allows me to provide consistent care, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. Because I'm home, your pup won't be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and affection. I'm available for boarding seven days a week and can easily accommodate your dog's regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medication (if needed), and plenty of one-on-one attention. My two friendly, energetic dogs also enjoy making new friends and can provide companionship and playtime for dogs that enjoy socializing, while I always respect the comfort level and personality of every guest. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Since I work from home, I'm able to provide close supervision throughout the day and make sure every dog receives plenty of attention and care. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications (if needed), and any special routines to help your pup feel at home. My home is a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel comfortable. My two friendly, well-socialized dogs are accustomed to being around other dogs, and I always introduce new guests gradually to ensure everyone is comfortable. I closely monitor all interactions and never force dogs to socialize if they prefer their own space. I know how important it is to stay connected while you're away, so I'll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for.

Even though I’m still new at caring for dogs, I understand the amount of work and responsibility that goes into being a dog owner.

“Ania was great! Very professional, kind and reliable sitter. Simba had a wonderful stay with Ania! Lots of photo/video updates, I can see my dog was truly well taken care of! Will definitely book with her again in a future 💕”
“Hannah took wonderful care of Margot. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Margot came home happy.. Margot is an energetic teenager, and Hannah took it all in stride. We’d happily have her watch Margot again.”
“Thomas is such a great sitter! He sent us daily updates on how our pup Maui was doing. From the start, he welcoming and communicative. Maui was very happy with him! Can’t recommend Thomas enough!”
“Niamh was the sweetest with my pup! I last minute needed to bring him on a work trip to Chicago and she instantly put me at ease, knowing we wouldn't be able to do a meet n greet beforehand. From the video call, to dropping him off, Niamh was very communicative and provided updates throughout the day. Highly recommend her if you are in the Chicago area or traveling with your pet and need someone reliable to watch them!”
“Angel took great care of Bean while we were gone for our extended vacation. He was very flexible on dates/times and communicative about how my dog Bean was doing while away.”
“Per usual, Cocoa was in the best hands with Christina. She loves going over, so much so she dragged me there this time. I love all the updates and never have any second thoughts dropping her off with Christina!”
“Audrey did such a great job of taking care of Pickles! This was his second time staying with her and he loved all of the attention and all of the walks they went on. Audrey was great about keeping in touch and sending us videos and even kept us updated on Pickles’ upset stomach. He can’t wait to stay with her again!”
“Adam is incredible! Fast and clear communication. Our puppy loved him instantly! He is near the lake to take dogs on long walks. Adam is an ideal dog sitter in just about every way! I will be asking him to watch my dog next time i'm out of town!”
