Tanisha and Darrius did an excellent job with an overnight say with my pup. I had a last minute trip I needed to take and they were available and willing to help me out. There communication was excellent and informative. My dog who is usually stressed in rush situations and gets sick, came home happy, healthy and rested well. Items I had forgotten like his blanket were provided by them for his comfort. I received pictures of his daily activities from nap time to playing in the back yard with some new friends. My dog was not ready to come home when being picked up and that's exactly the kind of stay I was hoping he would have. I was at ease of his well being during my trip and will be utilizing Tanisha and Darrius many more times in the future.

Mercedes is a definite "God Send". Her enthusiasm and overall ability to have my Rocket feel like a family member is truly beautiful. Rocket gets excited when he knows he's going to see Mercedes. I will continue to have her take care of Rocket and recommend others to do the same if they are looking for a sitter equal to their love for their pet.

Megan did a wonderful job with my Lukey. When unexpected medical needs arose, she was still willing to watch him. She did an excellent job with giving him his daily medication and caring for his special needs. She sent multiple pictures throughout the day on all the many walks he went on. Megan is a kind and thoughtful sitter and I would highly recommend booking her!!

Mike and Joanna were absolutely amazing! I needed last-minute care for my dog, and they responded almost instantly. From the start, they were friendly, professional, and incredibly accommodating. They took such great care of my dog and made the whole experience completely stress-free for me. It was clear that my dog was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. What really surprised me was that they even sent my dog home with free gifts — such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture, especially for such a short stay! I can’t recommend Mike and Joanna enough. If I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would. Thank you both for going above and beyond!

Manuel was an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Swoosh, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he provided. From the moment we connected, Manuel was responsive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. Throughout the stay, he sent me regular updates and adorable photos of Swoosh, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Swoosh looked so happy and relaxed in every picture—it was clear he was being treated like part of the family. I’m so grateful for the love and attention Manuel gave to my pup. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with him again. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you Tabitha! Rocco had the BEST sleepover. Lots of play time, lots of outside time, and tons of love. Tabitha even made Rocco an Easter basket with doggie treats. She was super patient with him when he was nervous on night one and kept me well informed over the weekend with tons of pictures and updates. He came home happy, clean and we are so grateful for her love.

Ann took such good care of our puppy! She sent daily updates, took her on walks, and I know her family all gave our pup attention. She was willing to give her eye drops when we found out an infection we thought would be cleared by the weekend wasn't, and was so generous in providing a crate and toys so we didn't need to cart our stuff back and forth. We'd love to use her again.

She went above my expectations and I’m a really anxious person when it comes to leaving my dogs in someone else’s care. Will definitely love for her to care for my dogs in the future.

Shani was the best choice for our fur baby! I was worried about leaving our baby, Stone, for so long, but Shani made me feel comfortable. She sent me pictures and communicated with me continuously throughout the stay. I could see Stone opening up and enjoying himself. I’m so grateful for her loving care and warmth. Shani is definitely like extended family now, and Stone won’t be staying anywhere else. If you care about your fur baby and want them to be well-loved, book with Shani.

She kept me updated with the perfect amount of messages and photos, and it was so clear how much she genuinely loved and played with them as if they were her own. She also went above and beyond to accommodate a family emergency I was dealing with, and I’m so grateful for her kindness and flexibility. If you get the chance to book with her, do it. Your pets will be in the best hands.

I couldn't have asked for a better family to take care of my puppy while I was traveling. I could tell that the family truly enjoyed taking care of my dog Mac and gave him all the love and cuddles he is used to getting. Liz provided numerous pics and updates every day single day. I will definitely re-book the next time I travel! I would highly recommend Liz and family.

Gionna is so great and really helped us to be able to relax and trust our beloved pet was well taken care of while we were gone. Thank you so SO much again for being so awesome Gionna!!!!!!

About: I have over 13 years experience doing vet assistant and vet technician tasks and skills as a volunteer at The Animal Welfare League in Chicago Ridge, IL. I have been employed as part of the membership and philanthropic department at Lincoln Park Zoo from which I learned a great deal, stemming from my biology classes on taxonomy to zoology, to specific animal facts and conservation of threatened animals. I therefore know a great deal of educational background on animal behavior. I studied psychology and comparitive human psychology/animal behavior with a bachelors in science from IIT. I have grown up with dogs, cats, and ferrets. At Southwest Animal Care Center, I bathed, fed, walked, medicated, and cared for boarding and patient animals. I graduated with my veterinary assistant certificate in 2018. After graduating from IIT, I became a kennel attendant and learned a great deal about how to care for animals. Pet care is a daily task for me as I take care for two little fuzzbutt ferrets, Icarus and Agatha. Icarus often wakes me up with his bushy tailed excitement. I'm lucky to have such wonderful critters in my life. Right now, I am only offering dog walking and off-site at client's home services. From what I've read from the anthropologist book "Inside of a Dog" by Alexandra Horowitz, animals, especially dogs, crave human attention so being attentive to an animal's needs is to me, what's most important. This includes communicating with animals to know when they need a bathroom break, when they want play, when they want affection and cuddles, when they want nappy time, being fed according to what their schedule is, and of course, offering healthy treats (if allowed) and new novel smells, toys, etc. I can manage 4-5 walks per day with one or multiple dogs at a time 5-6 days a week. This is my main job and I'm dedicated to providing top care as if they are my own. I take extra care to be a courteous and contentious guest in the owner's home. I treat my stay with respect and humbly care. You can trust me to provide excellent care and keep everything tidy and clean.

I am currently a college student, meaning the summers I have a lot of free time on my hands! I do not have a summer job this year, meaning I have a lot of time to pet-sit! I do not offer pet-sitting in my own home, as I am a student living with my family. I am very clean, and will always keep client's homes tidy and left the way I came! When caring for pets, I always follow client's feeding/walking schedules, and play with them!

About: I love dogs. I have had one Doberman, one mutt who was the best, and two English Mastiffs. I had a dog everyday of my life until five years ago when my 200 pound English Mastiff named Max died. It broke my heart and hasn't felt right to replace him. But I love dogs and cherish watching the relationship people have with their dogs. I say hi to every pooch on the street that I pass. Rest assured, your dog will be treated with the utmost friendliness and care imaginable. I work from home so your dog will always have a friendly companion around. A side note. No Pit Bulls, No Rottweilers, No Stafford Terriers, No Husky of any sort, and No Doodles of any sort. I'm sure if any of these five dogs are part of your family that you are a wonderful person and so is your dog. However, they are far from my cup of tea. I work from home. I'm home basically all the time. And other than that, I just work on landscaping my front and back yards. I have a fenced in yard. Your pet is in great hands. I work from home.

About: I have had dogs many years. We have had different kinds of dogs, such as Rottweiler/German Shepard mix, medium and small. Sat for senior dogs needing a little extra help with ambulation and medication. We have two energetic -boys to play with and take for walks around the dog friendly neighborhood. We have one healthy 17 year old Dachshund in home now that we adopted, who has been with us for over 12 years, who warm ups with guest dogs pretty quickly. Looking forward to have different dogs to share our love and time taking care of them. Took a from ROVER sitting when a kitten adopted our family and we needed to learn to care for cats. Ready to reconnect with dog again. Family oriented care for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Looking to walk or drop in care. Flexible once we meet the pet and owners. Will walk and go into home as requested. High energy or snuggles as needed to accommodate the needs of the dogs and keep them safe while caring for them.

About: I've been an animal lover since a young age and started pet sitting at around 11 years old for friends and family. Growing up, my family has always had dogs and I was lucky enough to rescue a dog of my own, Finnegan. My family and I were also able to foster some dogs with a Great Pyrenees rescue. I currently work at a dog daycare and boarding facility as the Daycare Team Leader and have been there for almost 4 years. Because of this experience, I am certified in pet CPR and first aid. I have taken care of dogs from a wide range of breeds, size and ages with different needs so things like medications and specialized feedings are nothing new to me. I currently have a job at a dog daycare and boarding facility, so I’m generally open in the mornings and early afternoon on Mondays and Wednesdays. On Fridays I’m only open in the mornings. And on Tuesdays and Thursdays I am only open in the afternoon/evenings. I have a dog of my own too, so pet care is already a daily routine for me. And because I work with dogs at my job, caring for them comes natural and I love to be around them. I was raised with the saying "leave the location better than when you got there," so cleaning up and keeping things neat is a habit of mine. Every pet is different and each has their own routine, so my goal to to try and help keep that routine for your pet. I am experienced in adjusting to different situations and adapting to fit each pets needs to be able to properly care for them.

About: Tail-wagging care you can count on! I have 20 years of pet sitting experience with a wide range of pet personalities and temperaments and 25 years of loving my own fur babies as well. I specialize in pup care (housetraining, play based development, walk adventures), senior pet care (gentle handling, mobility support, medication administration), and special needs and rescue animals (with an understanding of anxiety, therapeutic support, and slow-trust building). I treat every pet like my own—with kindness, reliability, and plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. You can relax knowing your pet is not only safe, but genuinely cared for. :) I'm currently working part time from home so I prioritize caring for your pet with the same attention I gave to my own pets - making sure they’re happy, healthy, and safe while you're away. I have a fenced yard and an animal-friendly home. Currently we have three sweet kittens in the home (Luna, Notte, and Silvio) and, over the last few years, we had a dog Nala and two cats Namu and Malu that passed on after 15-17 years of life. I now have two children (my daughter is 7, and my son is 4) who love animals and are very gentle and caring. If your pet doesn't prefer children, please let me know and I wouldn't bring them with me to care for your pet. :)

About: Hello, my name is Maritza. I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets for about 15 years. Family, friends and, neighbors have relied on me to babysit their dogs for a day or days while on vacation or business trips. I have experience on feeding them, bathing them, potty training them, and understanding the love language and their comfort zone. For me a pet is not only a pet. They are family. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to babysit and play with your pet. In addition to that, my part-time job is very flexible and is only a couple of hours a day three days a week. So I could work around your schedule if needed. I live in a peaceful and safe neighborhood with lovely neighbors, and I have a fenced yard all around. Your pedal would be more than safe here.

About: I love dogs. I have had one Doberman, one mutt who was the best, and two English Mastiffs. I had a dog everyday of my life until five years ago when my 200 pound English Mastiff named Max died. It broke my heart and hasn't felt right to replace him. But I love dogs and cherish watching the relationship people have with their dogs. I say hi to every pooch on the street that I pass. Rest assured, your dog will be treated with the utmost friendliness and care imaginable. I work from home so your dog will always have a friendly companion around. A side note. No Pit Bulls, No Rottweilers, No Stafford Terriers, No Husky of any sort, and No Doodles of any sort. I'm sure if any of these five dogs are part of your family that you are a wonderful person and so is your dog. However, they are far from my cup of tea. I work from home. I'm home basically all the time. And other than that, I just work on landscaping my front and back yards. I have a fenced in yard. Your pet is in great hands. I work from home.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—dogs, cats, and everything in between. What sets me apart is that I truly get pets. I know how to read their body language, meet their emotional needs, and create a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and happy. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, from high-energy pups to slow-moving seniors. I’m patient with leash training, gentle with nervous animals, and happy to give medication if needed. If your pet has a routine, I’ll stick to it like clockwork. If they just need company and love, I’m all in. To me, this isn’t just a job—it’s about caring for your pet like they’re family. I’m home full-time, so your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and company throughout the day. Whether it’s regular walks, play breaks, or just being nearby for comfort, I’m available and fully present. My flexible schedule makes it easy to accommodate your pet’s routine—early mornings, midday walks, or evening check-ins included. I live right off 93rd & Pleasant in North Beverly, with a huge yard where your dog can safely play, explore, and chase a ball (or two). It’s a secure, peaceful space that’s perfect for outdoor time. I’m also just steps away from the Dan Ryan Forest Preserve—ideal for nature walks full of fresh air, trails, and plenty of exciting things to sniff. Whether your pup needs adventure or a calm environment, I’ve got it covered. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priority. I follow all care instructions, never leave pets unattended outside, and send regular updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

She came for a meet and greet since she was Roxy’s first walker. They hit it off and had great walks while I was gone making me more relaxed and less worried to enjoy my weekend away. Thank you Gionna, we can’t wait to work with you again!

About: I’ve lived around animals since I was a little girl and have owned a diverse range of pets myself. I grew up caring for my Hungarian Vizsla into college as well, even while he got sick and eventually had to be put down. I have experience owning rabbits, gerbils, dogs, cats. I live with two sweet cats now with my boyfriend and his mother, I’m home most of the time taking care of them. I love animals and have always felt more comfortable with them than humans sometimes. I believe every pet should be taken care of with compassion and a watchful eye. I understand animal body language and always respect what the animal needs or wants for their own sake and for my safety. I’d be honored to help any family with their furry babies! Since I am a university student online my schedule is very open and flexible. I expect most pet sitting jobs to require seeing the animals at least 3 times a day, every day needed. I am looking for another part time job but would allow me to leave work in cases where animals need care in the afternoon as well. Our cats are kept inside most of the time but we do have a yard with a fence that allows them to be outside supervised. If the weather allows for it, we let them out to get exercise in and just have some stimulation. We have to feed them separately as one cat likes to try to steal food from the other. They’re both on their diets to lose some weight so feeding times are in order now for them.

About: I have over 13 years experience doing vet assistant and vet technician tasks and skills as a volunteer at The Animal Welfare League in Chicago Ridge, IL. I have been employed as part of the membership and philanthropic department at Lincoln Park Zoo from which I learned a great deal, stemming from my biology classes on taxonomy to zoology, to specific animal facts and conservation of threatened animals. I therefore know a great deal of educational background on animal behavior. I studied psychology and comparitive human psychology/animal behavior with a bachelors in science from IIT. I have grown up with dogs, cats, and ferrets. At Southwest Animal Care Center, I bathed, fed, walked, medicated, and cared for boarding and patient animals. I graduated with my veterinary assistant certificate in 2018. After graduating from IIT, I became a kennel attendant and learned a great deal about how to care for animals. Pet care is a daily task for me as I take care for two little fuzzbutt ferrets, Icarus and Agatha. Icarus often wakes me up with his bushy tailed excitement. I'm lucky to have such wonderful critters in my life. Right now, I am only offering dog walking and off-site at client's home services. From what I've read from the anthropologist book "Inside of a Dog" by Alexandra Horowitz, animals, especially dogs, crave human attention so being attentive to an animal's needs is to me, what's most important. This includes communicating with animals to know when they need a bathroom break, when they want play, when they want affection and cuddles, when they want nappy time, being fed according to what their schedule is, and of course, offering healthy treats (if allowed) and new novel smells, toys, etc. I can manage 4-5 walks per day with one or multiple dogs at a time 5-6 days a week. This is my main job and I'm dedicated to providing top care as if they are my own. I take extra care to be a courteous and contentious guest in the owner's home. I treat my stay with respect and humbly care. You can trust me to provide excellent care and keep everything tidy and clean.

About: I know how important it is to have a sitter you can trust and that will provide all your pet needs while you're away. I've had pets around me my whole life. I've cared for other pets while family or friends have been away and have become really good at reading different animal emotions and recognizing what they may need. Whether it be cats or dogs, I am confident in my abilities to form a relationship with your pet so they are comfortable with me and I will be sure your pet knows they are safe and cared for even when you aren't there. I work at a school so, during the week, I am available to care for your pet(s) from early afternoon (around 3:30pm depending on the commute) until the evening (around 9:30pm) and may be able to squeeze in some early attention before work between around 6am-7am. during typical weekends I can be much more available to check in on your pet(s) multiple times if needed. You can be sure that while I am in your house / on your property my only focus is on your pet and what they need. I will only access supplies or areas that have been "okayed" by you and you can be sure your belongings will never be touched, taken, or tampered with and your pet will be cared for and have all they need while you're away

Megan did a wonderful job with my Lukey. When unexpected medical needs arose, she was still willing to watch him. She did an excellent job with giving him his daily medication and caring for his special needs. She sent multiple pictures throughout the day on all the many walks he went on. Megan is a kind and thoughtful sitter and I would highly recommend booking her!!

Excellent! She took great care of my little boy. No hesitation I would use her again if in the area. Good communication and accommodating.

Manuel was an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Swoosh, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he provided. From the moment we connected, Manuel was responsive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. Throughout the stay, he sent me regular updates and adorable photos of Swoosh, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Swoosh looked so happy and relaxed in every picture—it was clear he was being treated like part of the family. I’m so grateful for the love and attention Manuel gave to my pup. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with him again. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you Tabitha! Rocco had the BEST sleepover. Lots of play time, lots of outside time, and tons of love. Tabitha even made Rocco an Easter basket with doggie treats. She was super patient with him when he was nervous on night one and kept me well informed over the weekend with tons of pictures and updates. He came home happy, clean and we are so grateful for her love.

I have a high energy one year old German shepherd that he watched for us and it was a smooth drop off and pick up process and she was well cared for.

Tonisa did a wonderful job taking care of my doggies. This was my first time using this site and was not disappointed. She went above my expectations and I’m a really anxious person when it comes to leaving my dogs in someone else’s care. Will definitely love for her to care for my dogs in the future. This is better than boarding facilities!

Shani was the best choice for our fur baby! I was worried about leaving our baby, Stone, for so long, but Shani made me feel comfortable. She sent me pictures and communicated with me continuously throughout the stay. I could see Stone opening up and enjoying himself. I’m so grateful for her loving care and warmth. Shani is definitely like extended family now, and Stone won’t be staying anywhere else. If you care about your fur baby and want them to be well-loved, book with Shani.

I can’t recommend her enough! She was an absolute sweetheart and took incredible care of my dogs. She kept me updated with the perfect amount of messages and photos, and it was so clear how much she genuinely loved and played with them as if they were her own. She also went above and beyond to accommodate a family emergency I was dealing with, and I’m so grateful for her kindness and flexibility. If you get the chance to book with her, do it. Your pets will be in the best hands.

I couldn't have asked for a better family to take care of my puppy while I was traveling. I could tell that the family truly enjoyed taking care of my dog Mac and gave him all the love and cuddles he is used to getting. Liz provided numerous pics and updates every day single day. I will definitely re-book the next time I travel! I would highly recommend Liz and family.

Addi loved her time with Dara. She got walks and plenty of play time. Dara sent pics to keep me updated. It was my first time using Rover or anyone other than family. Highly recommend Dara.

Monae took such good care of my senior dog, Kai. He has trouble walking and so it's great that he can go directly outside to the backyard. She was also really good about switching his inside and outside shoes out which I really appreciate. 10/10 will book again!

This was our first time leaving our not-quite-two-year-old frenchie with someone other than family. I was a nervous wreck dropping him off. Not even 24-hours later, my nerves were calmed. Sandy is wonderful. She took him for walks, sent texts and pictures, and was honest in how our dog was doing. After seeing them snuggling together in pictures, I could tell he was being well taken care of. I'm already putting our dates together to book her for future dates. I highly recommend. Thank you, Sandy!

Jessica was great. Left my 3 dogs with her a whole week and even tho we missed them so much they had a great time. Every day we got updates with pictures and short videos, it made being away from them a bit easier knowing they were also having fun. 10/10 would recommend.

Susseth was a wonderful host. Our first time having her stay with our Boxer. Very patient with my anxiety and my last minute schedule change. She was able to keep my Boxer an extra day with one days notice. I’m thankful for her and her help with easing my stress. Communication was key and she provided me with all the details to make sure that all was ok. The pictures of my fur baby enjoying his time there were priceless.

My Gizelle walked right into Victoria's place inspecting every corner before Victoria could give her a proper greeting! Gizelle was very comfortable and tool to Victoria who sent photos throughout the days I was gone. Somehow Victoria got Gizelle to use a pee pad and play with a toy. Things she never does at home. I am grateful for Victoria's care. Thank you!
