“Karla did a great job taking care of our dog, Lucky. We’ve only had Lucky for a few months, and as a rescue from Texas, he has a lot of separation anxiety. Karla was very understanding and made him feel relaxed and at home, while also being patient with all of his little foibles. She sent us lots of pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. She also has a great setup for dogs, including a large long condo with plenty of space for running around. We would definitely recommend Karla to others!”

Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I am committed to providing the highest level of care for every pet I welcome into my home. I understand that every dog is unique, which is why I tailor my care to each pet’s size, age, health, energy level, and individual needs.

I provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your furry friend is happy, safe, and well cared for. I also carefully follow all owner instructions because I know how important consistency and trust are when it comes to your pet’s care. I have an 15 year-old Brittany Spaniel who is friendly and well-trained. Your dog will have companionship and plenty of opportunities to socialize, play, and have fun. In addition to dog care, I also offer drop-in visits for cats, including feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, fresh water, and plenty of attention. You’ll receive updates and photos after every visit. What Your Dog Can Expect During Their Stay: Plenty of exercise, walks, and potty breaks Constant supervision and human interaction A safe, loving, family environment Freedom to roam indoors (no crating unless requested by the owner) Daily photos, videos, and updates The typical daily routine includes: Morning walk Midday potty break Afternoon walk and playtime Evening walk I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and treat them like a member of our family.

Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. 🐾 My home has a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and get plenty of exercise. In addition to enjoying outdoor time in the yard, they’ll also receive daily walks to keep them happy, active, and engaged. 🐾

She welcomed them into her home and went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable, safe, and confident.

She’s reliable and she goes the extra mile to make sure the dogs are comfortable and well taken care of. This was a last minute booking because their other sitter was unavailable, however, we feel so lucky to have found her, she adores our dogs and it shows in the interaction between them through the daily photos.

About: Taking care of pets is second hand nature for me! I was raised with a cat and a dog. Currently, I also babysit a 10 month year-old baby boy and a golden retriever so I’m very accustomed to taking care of animals in all aspects. I currently have a part-time job and am a part time student but for the most part, I’m free and great at scheduling. Always feel free to reach out. High-quality pet care requires a reliable environment where safety, routine, and engagement remain top priorities. Experience with animal care ensures that guest pets receive attentive supervision while owners are away. Whether hosting boarding clients or visiting a home for drop, in services, maintaining a secure and familiar schedule is the baseline for every booking.

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, fishes, rabbits, hamsters, even horses. As the older sister with 2 full time working parents I always took care of the animals. I am now in college and don’t have any pets and I miss taking care of them. I know how to put on snow boots on dogs if they need it when it gets cold. I can bathe and brush their teeth. If your pet requires any special care I will be able to provide it and would love to do so! I have a few classes a day but am able to take care of pets throughout the day and night. Monday and Wednesday are the only days that I have longer classes. But the rest of the week I only have 1 class a day for 1.5 hours and am free the rest of the time. I am able to provide any care for pets in my client’s home that is necessary. I can walk, play with, bathe and do anything else your pet needs.

About: I've spent 3 years on the cat side of a local animal shelter, giving subdermal shots, syringing liquid medication, and hiding pills in food so they actually get eaten, on top of everyday feeding and litter care. I read feline body language well, so I know when a cat wants space and when they're looking for attention. I also own two cats of my own, so I'm around them every day, not just at work.

Although we currently do not have pets of our own in the city, we’d love the share the joy by helping take care of yours :) I am a full-time student, but my schedule is fairly open and flexible. My partner, Nico, is fully remote all days. Between the 2 of us, there will always be someone watching over your pet! We also frequently go out for walks/jogs and visit local parks and can take your pet out every couple of hours. We are available pretty much any weekdays and most weekends! Although we don’t have a yard, our apartment is a spacious, 2-bed. We also have plenty of parks nearby that we love to frequent. We have space for a doggy bed and/or crate if needed!

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by them, and back in Mexico most of my dogs were rescued from the streets. Caring for dogs has always come from the heart for me. I currently live with my dog Greta, who I also found on the streets of Mexico. I truly treat every dog I care for as if they were my own—my dogs are my family, and any pup that stays with me becomes part of that family too. I genuinely care about their comfort, happiness, and well-being while they’re in my home. I make sure they get plenty of love, playtime, and nice walks in nature (I’m surrounded by golf courses, so we’re always outside enjoying fresh air). I don’t like leaving dogs alone, so they sleep in my room with me—not alone in the living room. I absolutely love having dogs around, and I know how hard it can be to leave them behind when traveling. That’s why I do everything I can to make them feel safe, loved, and at home—and I always send lots of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your baby is in good hands 💜🐾 I currently work part-time in the evenings and very close to home, which allows me to be present and check in on the dogs often. I have my mornings free for walks, playtime, and quality care, and I’m able to take dogs out regularly so they’re never left alone for long. I’m flexible and always do my best to accommodate different schedules and needs, making sure each pup gets the attention, routine, and care they deserve. I live in an apartment with my lovely dog, and we often have other dogs staying with us. Even though I don’t have a backyard, we go on long walks as often as possible—always surrounded by nature—so the dogs get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and stimulation. I always adapt to each dog’s routine and personality, doing my best to keep things familiar and stress-free. My goal is for every pup to feel comfortable, accompanied, and truly at home while they’re with me. There’s lots of playtime, attention, and love throughout the day.

About: I've spent 2 years walking shelter dogs of every temperament, including dogs reactive to people or other dogs, so I stay calm and confident on leash even in tricky situations. I read body language well, and I'm not squeamish about the harder stuff, whether that's an anxious pup or a tricky handoff. I also own two cats of my own, so animals are part of my everyday life, not just a job. My schedule is really flexible right now, so I can usually say yes to walks, drop-ins, and cat visits, even on shorter notice. I live right in the building, so quick visits are easy to fit in (no commute, no stress!). I'm also happy to do recurring weekly bookings if a routine works better for your pet. In your home, I follow your routine exactly as given, feeding times, meds, and any specific instructions, so nothing feels disrupted while you're away. I lock up carefully and leave things as I found them. With anxious or reactive pets, I move slowly and let them set the pace rather than rushing the interaction, which comes from my shelter experience handling animals in stressful situations.

About: Starting at a young age of 8, I've cared for animals of friends and family. Ranging in all ages of cats and dogs, I'm confident in administering medication if needed and not scared of any sort of clean up. Having just moved back to the Chicagoland area from NOLA, my schedule is flexible. I am available for drop in visits and dog walking! I like to bike when weather permits but have access to a car as well. I do not offer services at my home but would treat yours as my own. Of course, cleaning up after your fur bb(s), following specific directions, and making sure they are settled before leaving.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for over 10 years. I have walked a family of 3 pugs and cared for a many a shy and finicky cat. I have volunteered at PAWS animal shelter in the past and I have experience with both small and medium-sized puppers! In addition, I lived with a very skittish tuxedo cat for 17 years and I became the only human he would come close to. I work during the week but have Monday mornings, most evenings, and weekends free, so I am happy to be your dog’s part-time walker or a regular cat-sitter! I love playing with dogs and taking them for longer walks. I also love cats and I don’t mind administering medications, special feeding instructions, or spending a longer time with an energetic dog or lonely cat that may need more attention.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs throughout my life and I have always felt a strong connection and kindness to animals. I have done petsitting for dogs, cats, and even a leopard gecko before! I have one cat who is 17 years old. His brother was the same age and passed away earlier this year. I had a dog that lived to about 15 and I lost him several years ago, so I have experience with taking care of senior pets and the process of loss. Taking care of pets is something I love doing! I work as a mental health therapist, with most of my shifts from 3pm-8pm on weekdays. I sometimes have meetings in mid-morning. With my job, there is tremendous flexibility due to constant shifts in my caseload and clients cancelling appointments. I am also in charge of my own schedule. Generally, I will be most available in the morning and afternoon for pet care. Weekend availability may fluctuate depending on my plans. I will happily follow your instructions and preferences regarding care for your pet, and I would love to send you pictures and updates! I appreciate it when my own cat-sitter does that for me, so I know you probably do too.

About: Taking care of pets is second hand nature for me! I was raised with a cat and a dog. Currently, I also babysit a 10 month year-old baby boy and a golden retriever so I’m very accustomed to taking care of animals in all aspects. I currently have a part-time job and am a part time student but for the most part, I’m free and great at scheduling. Always feel free to reach out. High-quality pet care requires a reliable environment where safety, routine, and engagement remain top priorities. Experience with animal care ensures that guest pets receive attentive supervision while owners are away. Whether hosting boarding clients or visiting a home for drop, in services, maintaining a secure and familiar schedule is the baseline for every booking.

“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!”

“Zuzu had a wonderful time with Lauren. She was very communicative sending me pictures and updates twice a day. She was great about making Zuzu feel welcome and allowed her to get comfortable being with her family at her own pace. When Zuzu settled in, I don't know how she could have had more fun! She loved playing with the other pups in the yard and still getting walks to check out the neighborhood smells. Lauren gave her pill on time with no issues. I was so happy to be able to be out of town and feel so comfortable that Zuzu was happy and well cared for. I hope that Zuzu can visit with Lauren regularly- it was a great experience for both of us!”

“Myriam was amazing. She was fun and loving with my pet. She constantly sent pictures and messages letting me know how things were going. Her girls are super helpers and my dog enjoyed being the center of attention of the whole family. Thank you!!”

“Another great stay with John, Ryan and Bruno! This was Bambi’s first extended stay (two weeks) and I’m so happy we found John and Ryan to be her sitters. She loves it there and Bruno is the perfect host and playmate. Communication was great and we received plenty of photo updates. Highly highly recommend- they will treat your dog as if they were their own and you will have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.”

“I'm always nervous going out of town because our pup has some quirks. Maria was warm and welcoming and our dogs immediately hit it off. I felt relaxed the whole trip because I could see how much she loved dogs, and knew so much about their behaviors and interactions. We will definitely be booking her again!”

“I’ve used Ian’s services twice now and he’s been excellent every time! I get daily pictures/videos of my girl and I know that she’s getting plenty of exercise under his care. I also appreciate that Ian loves pitbulls and is understanding of my dog’s big, loving nature. He’s my dog sitter from here on out!”
