“I can’t say enough great things about Kamiah! She took such amazing care of my dog, Autumn, and made the whole experience stress free for both of us. Autumn absolutely loves her, and it was clear from the start that Kamiah treats her like family. She kept me updated throughout Autumn’s entire stay with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable Autumn was in her care. I highly recommend Kamiah to anyone looking for someone reliable, loving, and attentive to care for their fur babies. She’s truly the best!”

“Bernie’s hosts were wonderful, especially in the unflustered and caring way they dealt with a transportation crisis my wife and I had. They made me feel like they would have happily made extra room in their family for another week as cooly as they did for an extra day. Bernie is an untroubled, self-confident old girl who enjoys human and canine company, and this was a great environment for her with very nice dog-loving people.”

About: What sets me apart is how seriously I take the trust you're placing in me. I understand that pets are family and leaving them in someone else's care can be difficult. That's why I approach every pet with patience, empathy, and genuine care. I take the time to learn their unique personality (energetic, shy, or just needs a little extra attention), routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and have the flexibility to give them the attention they deserve. With an open schedule, I can easily adapt to your pet's routine, whether that means morning walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I know that being away from their owner can be an adjustment for some pets, so I do my best to create a calm, loving, and familiar environment where they feel safe and comfortable. My goal is for your pet to feel cared for and happy, and for you to have peace of mind knowing they're in compassionate and dependable hands. When caring for pets during drop-in visits and dog walks, I make it a priority to maintain the routine they're familiar with, so they feel comfortable and at ease. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to understand their needs, whether that's a fun walk, playtime, mealtime, or some extra attention and affection. My goal is to provide thoughtful, reliable care that keeps your pet happy while giving you confidence that they're in good hands.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and breeds, from a beloved Cocker Spaniel to two Giant Schnauzers and later a Pit Bull. Each one helped shape my love and understanding of animals and taught me how unique every pet’s personality can be. Today, I’m the proud owner of a French Bulldog who keeps me on my toes and a pet snake, giving me experience caring for both traditional and exotic pets. I’ve also spent time around cats through friends and family and am comfortable caring for feline companions as well. While attending Ball State University, I volunteered at local animal shelters, helping care for animals and supporting their daily needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or senior, I understand the importance of providing patience, attention, and loving care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine, as I currently care for my own pets and understand the importance of consistency, attention, and reliability. I work as a State Farm agent in Chicago’s West Loop, and because it is a family-owned business that my family manages and operates daily, I have some flexibility within my schedule when needed. During the week, I am available for pet care before work, after work, and during my lunch break. Depending on the day and my workload, I may also have additional flexibility to accommodate specific care needs.

My goal is to ensure your pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment while receiving the attention, companionship, and care they deserve.

About: Hi there! I'm Tynetta, your neighborhood work-from-home pet auntie. 🐾 I work remotely during the day, which means your furry family member gets plenty of company, potty breaks, playtime, and belly rubs instead of being left alone for hours. Whether your pet is a professional napper, an energetic explorer, or simply wants someone nearby while they snooze, I'm happy to match their pace. Outside of pet sitting, I work in public health and spend my days helping people build healthier communities. Friends would describe me as calm, dependable, and ridiculously organized. Pets seem to appreciate that too. I'm happy to send regular photo updates (expect lots of candid "living their best life" moments), follow your pet's routine closely, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. A few fun facts about me: • I work from home, so your pet gets lots of companionship throughout the day. • I'm an early riser and love getting outside for walks. • I'm patient with shy pets and enthusiastic enough for the zoomie crowd. • I'm the kind of person who will absolutely learn your dog's favorite toy, your cat's preferred napping spot, and all the little quirks that make them who they are. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. My goal is simple: when you come home, your pet is happy, relaxed, and maybe just a little disappointed that their vacation with me is over. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home most days. That means I'm around to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy having a furry coworker keeping me company while I work! I also like starting and ending my day with walks, so caring for pets blends seamlessly into my schedule without leaving them alone for long stretches. I believe pets are happiest when their routines stay as consistent as possible. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions, and any special preferences you share. I'll keep their space clean, make sure they have fresh water, lots of affection (if they enjoy it!), and I'll send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing they're doing well. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.

“Shani responded quickly to take a last minute long term booking. She was very communicative & hands on with Malcolm. Felt very comfortable leaving my baby while out of the country.”
“I cannot express enough how thrilled I am with Bola’s exceptional care of my furry friend! From the moment we met, it was clear that Bola has a genuine love and passion for animals. Throughout the time Bola cared for my dog, I received regular updates, including photos and detailed messages about their activities and wellbeing. This consistent communication was incredibly reassuring. I knew my pet was not just being looked after but truly cared for. I wholeheartedly recommend Bola to anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. We have booked Bola on many occasions and will continue to utilize her services when needed. Thank you Bola, for providing such outstanding care for Layla!”
“I am very particular about who I let be around my fur babies so finding Dominique was heaven sent! She’s amazing and does well with handling both of my pits who I know have tons of energy! I appreciate her a lot!”
“Bernie’s hosts were wonderful, especially in the unflustered and caring way they dealt with a transportation crisis my wife and I had. They made me feel like they would have happily made extra room in their family for another week as cooly as they did for an extra day. Bernie is an untroubled, self-confident old girl who enjoys human and canine company, and this was a great environment for her with very nice dog-loving people.”
“Mercedes was wonderful. There was a timely drop-off and pickup, she provided regular updates with pictures, and not to mention she made me cookies! I’ll be using her again and my dog loved her and her family!”
“Chelsea was phenomenal!! 5 out of 5 stars doesn’t even begin to cover it. So easy to communicate with, we received more pictures then we knew what to do with, and she was consistently taking the dogs on walks, to the beach, and out for treats. Couldn’t be more thankful. If we are ever in Chicago again we will be using her services!!”
“Ania is amazing! She’s checked in with pix and videos daily. My pup came home so happy and content. I’ll definitely be checking her schedule the next time I need a sitter. 10/10 ☺️”
“Great Care! Manuel was professional and caring. He communicated throughout the day, sending updates and pictures. He went above and beyond caring for Levi. She was extremely happy and tired when I picked he up. I would highly recommend Manuel to take care of your Furbaby!”
“It was our first time boarding Koda, so we were a little nervous about how he would handle it. Megan made the entire experience incredibly comforting and seamless. She kept us updated throughout the day, responded quickly, and truly put our minds at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Amia,Joshua and family have been nothing but great to my baby Barry. He loves spending time over there, I definitely recommend them. They are the best fit for your fur baby 🙂”

“Ashley was a wonderful sitter for my dog Lincoln! She was extremely communicative, walked Lincoln frequently and was so professional! Definitely would book with her again, thank you so much Ashley!!”
“I am impressed by how seriously Tamya is taking this job. She gave me a long list of information about Ivy to complete, so that she can get to know her well before the job starts. Tamya also posts photos of Ivy often, so I can see that she is doing well. I highly recommend her.”
“Great host. Very communicative and friendly. They took my 100 pound dog Blu with same day notice which of course can be hard to do, so I'm grateful. They also kept me updated with pics & vids and any special moments of attention throughout the entire stay. They're very good about taking him out too for potty breaks, which is important for a big dog especially. Blu was clean and happy when he left and we will definitely use them again. Thank you again for your help!”
“Bridget was amazing with our dog, Miller. Miller has separation anxiety and can be a hit or miss with sitters, but he warmed up to Bridget and her family right away. Great communication and felt extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend to let your dog stay with her family and pup of her own who is both adorable and friendly.”
“Jiayi was awesome and I really appreciated all the pics and videos she sent! Perfect person for my firework anxious dog to spend the 4th with. Thank you so much Jiayi!”
