“We’re so grateful for the care our sitter gave our two pups during their stay. What began as a few days of boarding turned into a longer stay because of an unexpected medical emergency, and she was incredibly kind, flexible, and accommodating the entire time. Knowing our dogs were safe, cared for, and in good hands brought us real peace of mind during a very stressful situation. We truly appreciate her compassion and would absolutely trust her again.”

About: Hi! I’m Asha, a dependable, calm, and caring animal lover who treats every pet like family. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or sitting, I’m attentive to routines, energy levels, and personality... from playful pups to shy seniors. I’m especially happy to build ongoing relationships with pets and owners who want a reliable, consistent walker or sitter. You can expect clear communication, photos, and lots of care every visit. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Looking forward to meeting you and your beloved pet! I currently work from home and have flexible hours. I am here for walks, check ins, and can pet-sit as required! I’m at your service. Every pet deserves to be cared for with love no matter if it’s from their owner or sitter. I can guarantee that level of care.
“Amy saved the day for my chiweenie, Willar and I. Her pup Winston is a such a cute little guy and very mild mannered. Amy took great care of my little senior pup currently on a special diet and needing lots of attention and affection. Amy was also flexible and understanding of my own separation anxiety being away from my furbaby 😄”
“Ms. Kathrine is great! While on work travel I unexpectedly found myself needing a sitter for my girl a few times. After the first day my fur baby was nothing less than excited to spend the day with Kathrine. My baby was well taken care of. I would easily recommend Kathrine for any of her services hands down and plan to use her again in the future!”
“Had a great experience with Fengyuan providing daycare for Marigold! Got lots of photo updates during the day and she made a new friend out of Chicago 🤗”
“I can’t wait until my Joey-Boy can visit Hk again! It was my first time leaving him and I can tell he had a GREAT time! He went to sleep right away as soon as we got in the car :). I received videos, pictures, and updates throughout his stay. So grateful for the sweet care my puppy received today!”
About: I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pup like family while you're away. I work from home full-time, so your dog will always have company and lots of cuddles throughout the day. - I only host one client at a time, so you dont have to worry about unfamiliar dogs during their stay. -Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a slower-paced routine, I’m happy to match their needs. -I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also have experience with dogs with separation anxiety and food or environmental allergies. 📷 You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. **I live in an apartment building, so I can't safely accommodate large dogs that are reactive to people or other dogs, since it's not possible to completely avoid encounters in shared spaces.** I can accommodate regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow all care instructions, use leashes on walks, and provide a calm, secure environment with regular updates.

Luna & I say Thank You Miryam❣️”

The family is great about sending pics and letting me know how my dog is doing during the day. I am extremely comfortable with letting Monti stay. I'll continue to be a repeat customer.”
“Amal and Pepper know how to make other peoples’ dogs feel welcomed and cared for. This is the second time I have left my dog with Amal, and it’s been another great experience. Definitely recommend to other owners in the area.”
“Haley was a real lifesaver for us. We had a very last-minute request due to an emergency and needed someone we could trust with our senior dog, and Haley agreed to watch him without hesitation. She took great care of him and gave us real peace of mind during a stressful situation. She was also very flexible with our pickup time, which we really appreciated. We’re incredibly grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

About: I have always had pets in my life, ranging from small to large dogs. Each one of them has been either adopted or rescued, including my little mutt I own now. They are my favorite companions and I love taking them with me wherever I go. I am also a very active person and I am able to provide your lovely animals all the exercise they need! I have a hybrid work schedule. I work remotely most days though sometimes I have to go into the office. Schedule can be flexible though. I like to give my pets a lot of love and attention but also respect their space. I always communicate with the owner and ask what their pets like and dislike.
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 20 years- I am great with all breeds and have a knack for training puppies (and older dogs too!) I am working from home and live right along a beautiful pet friendly park! I go on walks and runs throughout the day so love taking pups out with me! I ensure dogs are well taken care of and have experience administering different medications to dogs (including allergy injections) and following dietary restrictions or other needs. I show a lot of love and affection to pups and will keep them occupied and hopefully burn some of their energy playing and going on walks/runs!

Trusting that what I told him regarding my pups was the truth (that they are super friendly) and walked them without having met them. Followed all the instructions with out issue. I AM so glad to have found him here.”
“Jen is terrific with our dog. He loves spending time with her and getting his exercise :-) Communication with Jen is clear and consistent, and she's always been on time. Already re-booked her time.”
About: I love all dogs, but I've grown up taking care of primarily large dogs like Pitbulls. My neighbors rely on me very often to take care of their pets when needed. I currently have a very flexible schedule while I am going to college online. I am available during the week and some weekends! Pet care is already built into my daily routine, so please let me know how I can make your day easier by spending some time with your fur baby. During the walks your fur baby is my main focus. I love going for long walks to get some energy out, but short walks are also nice. I walk my sweet dog separately from other fur babies to alleviate the stress of dog introductions.
About: I’ve helped to take care of cats my since I was a young kid and have gotten more experience in caring for dogs over the last few years. I’ve always loved animals, and I am a very meticulous person so I will pay great attention to make sure your pet(s) and home are well cared for. I worked for a few years as a scientist prior to starting medical school last year, so attention to detail is a skill I’ve learned to hone. I’m currently on break from school, so I have a fairly free schedule at the moment. Once my classes start again I’d like to move into something I can do more so in the mornings or evenings, but my schedule will still be more flexible than a typical 9-5. I am a very detail-oriented and meticulous person, so I will pay attention to make sure that your pet and home are safe and secure.
“Josephine is amazing walking our two doggies! They are a little tricky to deal with and she always takes the best care of them! One of our dog’s used to bark so much at her and now she has really calmed down because Josephine talks to her and pets her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker! :)”
“Anne did a great job communicating her availability and being timely on our scheduled walks. She also followed our requests to walk certain routes and handled Biscuit's route preferences and hesitations during the walk well. I really appreciate her patience and professionalism to keeping us in the loop on GPS tracking and his status during the walk. Thanks Anne!”
“Lauren is an amazing dog walker! She connected with my dog immediately who is nervous around most people. Lauren is gentle and patient with my pup and always gives a detailed report of how she is doing. I really appreciate Lauren’s constant reliability and attentiveness!”
“Stacy is great! She walked my dog during the workday consistently for a few months and he was so well cared for. Stacy is super reliable and easy to reach which I always appreciated. I’m so sad to be moving out of the area as I’m sure it’ll be hard to find someone like her again.”
“Tali had a great walk with Maggie! I appreciated that she came over to meet Tali earlier in the week before the walk and Tali loved her instantly. She was flexible with some time changes and kept me updated after the walk sharing lots of pictures. Will absolutely continue to have Maggie walk my pup!”
About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was in high school and even created my own dog walking business during that time! I have my own dog at home that Ive trained to do numerous tricks like to roll over, paw and to dance using what I call gentle parenting. My dog is reactive with other dogs (we’re working on it), which means I have experience with training anxious dogs with keeping their composure with other dogs. I periodically pup sat and walked an elderly dog in the past, so I have experience in that region as well. Im in between jobs right now, so I have a lot of time to spare caring for your pup(s)! I already have a routine of taking my own dog out for walks and potty breaks, so adding another friend to the mix will be all the better! Safety and trust are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I maintain a calm and secure environment, strictly following your routine and ensuring all doors and gates are double-checked. I treat every home with the utmost respect and every dog as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting your furry best friend and providing them with the care and attention they deserve!
About: I love animals and will make sure your pet is happy and has a great time. I will pay close attention attention to your pet, make sure to play with them and take them for a quality walks.

I understand that your pet is member of your family and will make sure to follow the care instructions provided by you. I have a cat and I understand that some pets may have a different personalities and need different approach.
About: I've had pets my entire life. I used to have 10 dogs, 6 small and 4 big. I also had cats. I currently have a senior black cat who I brought from Brazil with me. I've been caring for her for over a decade now. I am currently not working and have great flexibility to care for pets on short notice, any day of the week and any time of the day! I cannot bring your pet to my house as I have a very territorial cat. But I will care for your pet in your house
