Don’t hesitate to book a stay or walks with her! I highly recommend! 👍👏”

“Megan and Richard were great! Very communicative, we received updates at least once a day and kimchi seemed to really enjoy her stay. Would definitely recommend their services!”
About: As a dog lover my whole life, I wasn't able to get one of my own until a year and a half ago. Having our golden retriever Tommy has completely changed my life for the better! I absolutely love dogs of all kinds and enjoy being outdoors and playing with them. I work full time remotely, so I am extremely available and flexible to your schedule. I can accommodate any needs and have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, and everywhere in between. Tommy has been professionally trained and gets along great with other dogs. We are able to keep dogs in our apartment if needed, and have lots of parks and sidewalks near by for exercise. I currently work from home full time, so I am very flexible for your pets needs. I currently keep our golden retriever active (as he very much needs it!) and would love to add another dog to the bunch if needed. I live in an apartment but have lots of access to local parks and walking trails. I am available for drop-in visits and walks as well.
About: I have had dogs my whole life, have helped train family pets, and am certified as a Comfort Dog handler. I have watched dogs from the wee size of a Chihuahua to big fluffy Newfoundlands. I love using patience and kindness to ensure your pups safety and well-being. I agrew up with the high energy of Border Collies, both young and older. I have dogsat at someone's house up to 5 dogs at a time, with varying food needs and medications. I try my best to be flexible and up for anything you need to ensure your furry friend is taken care of the same way I would care for my own. From walks, to watching them in my home, I am here to help you remain confident in your dog's care. For boarding, I do have two dogs that live in residence and would be available for a meet and greet prior to booking. I work a hybrid schedule, so some days I am fully working from home and other days I am in the office and usually pop home in the early afternoon to let my dogs out and finish the day working from home. Dogs get fed before I start work and dinner when I finish. If I work from home I usually take a break outside at some point to play with the pups and after work we can do walks or dog park or hanging out in the yard. I have a fenced yard and two other pups in the home who are relatively chill. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and get lots of snuggles. My own dogs are crate-trained but rarely use them. They are often left on the living room couch when I leave, with a baby gate keeping them in. Can use crates if needed, I own a size small and a size large. My dogs are 25 and 12 pounds. The smaller of the two is a rescue and is extremely chill and friendly to all other dogs. The bigger dog can be sensitive with other dogs sniffing his butt but the most he does is bark at them to move away. He usually minds his own space and doesn't play with other dogs much but also doesn't bother them.
“Absolutely wonderful! GREAT communication and you could tell she really cared about our dog. Fenced in yard too! Our pup had a great weekend and we didn’t worry about him at all. We will definitely be asking her to watch him again.”

“Cory communicated with us frequently - Pictures sent each day, anything out of the ordinary was an immediate conversation to us, and he even took our trash out and set out our Halloween candy for us!”
“Kailey was the nicest most reliable cat sitter we could wish for ! She provided us with pictures and messages daily and always made sure that our cat felt comfy and protected! She was always on time and super trustworthy. We would always book her again and highly recommend her as a cat sitter !!”
“Stephanie thank you so much!! You do such an amazing job- I love how comfortable Nancy is with you!! You are attentive to Nancy’s needs and have learned her routine! We look forward to booking you for all our future trips!!”
“We have hired Angela twice, and would love to have her again. We have 2 very shy cats and they actually come out and play with her. Angela is very thorough and gives us updates with pictures during every visit.”
“Hannah was looking after our new cat and he is shy and not used to being alone. She spent an hour with him each evening—him hiding, her talking to him. It took 4 days until he was brave enough to come out. I am so grateful for her patience and care. Highly recommend!”
“Elba was amazing. We have 2 cats who both need medication, and one is a little spitfire. She was reliable and managed to give the cats their meds twice a day as we asked! Her pictures were wonderful too.”
“Courney was the absolute best. She helped me with more than just watching my animal. She helped bring in the mail when it got delivered and even went out of her way to get toys for my pet during Christmas time. She is an animal lover for sure. If there is anyone that I would rebook again with it would be her.”

“This was our second time booking with Ashley — she’s THE PERFECT sitter! She followed our instructions with great care and sent detailed updates each visit. She went above and beyond to make sure our kitties had quality attention, which we very much appreciated!! We’d highly recommend her to anyone feeling nervous about leaving their pets behind on vacation!”
About: I’ve had dogs growing up and currently have one myself, I work at dog daycare/boarding facility and have been there for over 2 years now. I absolutely love dogs and have taken care of them my whole life I work part time in the afternoons but am available most days and am always available in the mornings. I’m also available full time on the weekends I would make sure to take care of any safety precautions necessary to keep your pup or pups safe in your home while you are away!
About: I’ve been doing pet sitting since I was 13, whether it was just stopping by to feed and play with them to spending nights keeping watch on them and my neighbors home. I work part time as a hairdresser in Kenosha so my schedule is very flexible and free to spend time and take good care of your fur babies. I have a 5 month old cat who stays inside my apartment and has plenty of scratching posts and toys. I’m working on getting her to wear a collar just incase she runs out but she seems to know how to take it off herself.
“Blythe is an awesome sitter! She was so patient with my anxious kitty and sent me daily images (mostly of her hiding) and reports to keep me up to date. I will definitely ask Blythe to sit for us again! :)”
About: I've had cats my entire life. I enjoy being a cat mom. I would care for your cat like they were my own. I'm experienced with giving medications. I'm not able to provide boarding but will come to your home daily. I'll provide fresh water, food, brushing, playtime and cuddles, if that's what your cat enjoys. I can also send photos to you while you're away. Additional items I will handle while cat sitting are bringing mail in and watering plants. I also have experience with small animals such as pet mice, Guinea pigs, and rabbits. I hope you'll consider me to care for your fur babies while you're away. Some of my personal hobbies are : CATS , Geo Caching, nature walks and collecting beach glass.
About: I’ve owned three cats throughout my life, all of varying ages and personalities. With each new addition, I took the time to slowly and safely introduce them to one another, always respecting their individual boundaries. I understand that every cat adjusts differently, and I’m patient, observant, and committed to creating a calm, low-stress environment where they feel secure. 🐾
About: I'm Charlotte, your pet’s new best friend! I love getting outside for walks, playing fetch, and giving plenty of belly rubs. I’m patient, nurturing, and attentive to each pet’s personality — whether they’re energetic and playful or more laid-back and cuddly. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you’re gone! I live a very active lifestyle, I love walks in the park, trails and the beach! I have 2 dogs of my own maltipoo (5) and teddypoo (3) who are good with other dogs but would prefer to do drop in visits/walks for neighbors as I have a little one now and would like to help neighbors while also getting my steps in and fresh air out of the house! Can’t wait to hear from you! I am at home during the day and would love a good excuse to get some fresh air and dog loving while also helping my neighbors. I do not plan to board dogs as I have 2 of my own and pups usually love to stay in their comfortable safe environment that they know while you are away.

“Lotte gets along great with Katrina’s dogs and Katrina is wonderful with her and communicates regularly to let us know how who she is doing. We’re thankful to find someone who can watch her regularly.”
“We had a great daycare experience with Jack, he looked after our Winnie! We booked on short notice and he was very flexible, which we really appreciated. Winnie was very well looked after and came home happy and relaxed. I loved the pictures he sent throughout the day, it gave me peace of mind since it was her first time away from home. We will definitely be booking with Jack again! 🐾”
About: I owned a dog growing up and cared for and trained one with my family. I sit for friends and family from time to time and I love to play and take dogs for walks and, if they are able, runs of up to a few miles! I have a fenced in yard, and my kids (4, 8) are also great with animals. I work from home. With the exception of rare travel days, school drop-offs, and evening events, I will always be around the house to care for your pup. Your pet will get the attention it needs, as I work from home and I have a fenced in yard, as well as young boys that are great with animals. Frequent outside visits and play times are very doable.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life. Live near Grant Park for great dog walks, fenced in yard. I have an elderly greyhound who vibes best with other calm dogs. I work remotely and am home throughout the day. Happy to care for your dog for boarding or doggy day care - calm home setup for dogs. I have a fully fenced in yard that dogs love to run around, a close walk to Grant Park for getting outside, and I’m home throughout the day for continuous care.
“Dean is an awesome dog sitter! We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with him for the night! Dean made sure to send updates and pictures! Our dog had so much fun with Dean and his resident pup! We would be happy to book him again!”
“Kait was a pleasure to work with! She was very good at communicating, sent excellent pictures and was not shy to ask questions about Maya’s care! Her and her precious Zelda welcomed my Maya with open arms and warm hearts 😁 I HIGHLY recommend booking with her! We will definitely be back!”
“Wendy is the absolute best! Professional, always gives so much love to my Dexter and all her other doggie pals that come over. She gives plenty updates and pictures to assure you that your fur baby is having the time of his his/her life! She’s the best and so friendly and loving. Safety is a big concern of mine. As I’m an over protective dog mom. Quality 10/10 safety 10/10 communication 10/10 and flexibility with scheduling 10/10.”
“Yshonda was absolutely wonderful to work with. We were a bit nervous because we have two fur babies with two different personalities and unique needs and Yshonda was very accommodating and flexible and was able to set our minds at ease. The babies are comfortable with her and seem to really enjoy her company. She’s friendly, personable and obviously loves dogs. She’s an amazing sitter and I would recommend her to anyone especially people who have never tried a dog sitter before. Check her out!”
“I can't say enough good things about Anna. You can tell she really cares about my puppy. I appreciate the mid-day updates while I'm at work. She really understands how to care for a puppy and takes the necessaryextra time to work with her. My puppy loves going to her place and playing with her dog! We will absolutely continue to take our puppy to Anna as long as she will have her!”
“Gracie had a great time with Hannah and her family. Hannah had excellent communication and treated Gracie wonderfully. Her backyard is a dog’s dream. Hannah provided many pictures, which eased my mind. Would definitely recommend Hannah.”
“This was our first time using rover and any kind of daycare for our dog and Miranda was nothing but amazing! She kept me updated and sent pictures. We will definitely be using Miranda again in the future!”
“Erin was an excellent host for Katie for daycare! She greeted Katie outside with a treat. We were updated with pictures throughout the day: including Katie playing with their dogs, relaxing like the queen that she is, and exploring the neighborhood on a walk. Erin was flexible with pickup times which really helped with a changing schedule due to travel delays. Already booked another stay for Katie.”
“Julia and her family was very kind to me and Joker. They took care of Joker all day sending me pictures and videos and explaining how he was doing. Joker was happy in her house and I am sure we will contact her in the future.”

About: For over forty years we’ve always had dogs in our home. We have a sweet pitbull mix that we adopted last year. She came from a home with several dogs so she loves to meet and make new friends. We enjoy providing a good home to animals and we look forward to caring for your pets. Potty breaks can be provided every two hours. Your dog will have plenty of opportunities throughout the day to run, play fetch, or explore in our fenced backyard. We try to follow the same routine as you would for your pet at home. We only care for two dogs at a time as we have a dog of our own. The dogs have free run of the house if the owner doesn’t specify otherwise.
About: Growing up my family owned a welsh springer spaniel. He was one of my best friends. I felt the same excitement he did when I walked in our front door to his excited jumping. After 13 years, he passed away of old age. Since then I have wanted to get a dog of my own, but I’m waiting until my husband and I get a house to take that step. In the meantime, I love caring for other family dogs. This is a super fun side job for me. I love all types of dogs, have experience with senior dogs, and am happy to care for more than one pet from the same home (whether they be cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, etc.). If your dog is nervous around new people, I will make sure to give them the care, attention, and space that they need. I always give frequent potty breaks, feed them at their regular time, and am very careful around doorways (so no one runs off on any solo adventures!). I always do an initial home visit with my husband so I can meet your pets before setting up a first booking with a new customer. I send great picture updates, so hopefully you won’t miss your dog too much. You will undoubtedly love how passionate I am about keeping your pet in a safe, loving environment while you are away. I am currently working as an 8th grade teacher. I am able to get to your home between the hours of 4pm-10pm on weeknights. I am available all day on Saturdays. I am available Sundays after 10:30am. I am available to do home visits to feed your pets, groom with a brush/bath, play their favorite games, go on long walks or runs, and spend the night if you need a house sitter. I can also take care of other pets including cats, hamsters, fish, chickens, etc. If you need someone to water plants while you are away, I can take care of that too!
“Mikeila was great. She sent videos and pics of my pup playing with her baby throughout the day. I was nervous about my pups interaction with little ones because she’s very excitable. But when I saw the videos I felt so much better. My trip got extended further then the initial requested time, Mikeila was so understanding. I will definitely use her again.”

“Elba is fantastic! She took such amazing care of our pup! She truly cares for the animal and spends such quality time with them to make sure they get all the love. Cannot recommend enough!!”
“We were very nervous but just because our dogs are reactive and a little bad at meeting people. Stephanie was great! she handled them so well, they were sad when she left which for us is a great sign.”

About: Welcome! With a passion for animals and years of experience, I have developed a strong connection with pets of all breeds, and the feedback from my clients speaks for itself. I offer affordable pricing without compromising on the quality of care, ensuring that your pet receives the love and attention they deserve. Regarding my availability, I do have a six-year-old son who will be with me occasionally, and prior to booking, it is important to consider accepting him as part of the agreement. This does not affect the quality of care, as I ensure both my son and your pet are happy and safe. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I am always mindful of your pet’s well-being, whether we’re out for a walk or spending time together at home. If we encounter other pets, I’ll ensure that the experience is positive and safe. I also respect the privacy of pet owners and follow all instructions carefully, making sure to create an environment where both pets and owners feel comfortable. Homes with cameras are always welcome, and I take great care in maintaining an open line of communication.
About: I am available all day and night to help with your petcare needs! I would love to play with them and help you out while you're away!

I've helped my fiance many times with dog walks and kitty cuddles and loved it! Just let me know how you take care of your pet and I will do my best to mirror that! I want your pet's nerves to be calm as I'm sure they'll already be a little stressed with your absence.
About: I work as an ICU RN and even though this primarily entails humans, I extend my knowledge to animals. It allows me to identify and problem solve health and behavioral issues, with the tools to create solutions. I also work at the Kneading Kitty Rescue. I genuinely offer compassion to all animals, not just cats/dogs. I will give my time, respect and patience. I have taken care of all kinds of pets; different species, breeds, sizes, temperaments, and needs, ever since I was a child. My childhood home was always filled with an abundance of animals (& also reptiles, aquatic life and arachnids). I look forward to meeting your extended member of the family! :D The perk of being a RN is that I only 3 days a week. This leaves me extra time during the week for other activities. I am an animal lover, so what better way to fill a few hours of time than with more furry friends! I will not be doing boarding at my own home. I will however treat your home with respect and follow guideline for providing the best care for your fur baby!
About: I’ve had cats, dogs, and small mammals in my home since I was a kid, so caring for animals truly comes naturally to me. I currently have two dogs — a male black Lab and a female Springer Spaniel — I personally potty trained my Springer and taught both dogs general obedience. I also have experience safely introducing new cats to other cats and to dogs, and I understand the importance of slow, structured transitions. I’m attentive to body language, routines, and each pet’s unique personality. Whether your pet needs structure, playtime, or cuddles, I treat every animal like my own — with patience, consistency, and lots of love. 🐾💛 I am available to assist with walks or potty breaks on weeknights after I get off work around 5pm. I have more open availability on the weekends, as I am off of work from my regular job. On weekends, I can also assist with overnights at my house on Friday and Saturday or hosting during the day. I provide a safe, loving home environment for your pet while you’re away! We have a fully fenced yard (4-5ishft) for supervised play and hardwood floors for easy cleanup. I have a gentle five-year-old daughter who is very comfortable around animals, and my husband. We have two dogs: a male black lab (not neutered) and a female springer spaniel (spayed). If your pet prefers their own space, my dogs can be kenneled in our finished basement, and kept separate to ensure everyone is comfortable. Pets are welcome to snuggle on the furniture or use a cozy pet bed. I provide food and water bowls — you just supply the food. My goal is to make your pet feel right at home!
About: Growing up my family owned a welsh springer spaniel. He was one of my best friends. I felt the same excitement he did when I walked in our front door to his excited jumping. After 13 years, he passed away of old age. Since then I have wanted to get a dog of my own, but I’m waiting until my husband and I get a house to take that step. In the meantime, I love caring for other family dogs. This is a super fun side job for me. I love all types of dogs, have experience with senior dogs, and am happy to care for more than one pet from the same home (whether they be cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, etc.). If your dog is nervous around new people, I will make sure to give them the care, attention, and space that they need. I always give frequent potty breaks, feed them at their regular time, and am very careful around doorways (so no one runs off on any solo adventures!). I always do an initial home visit with my husband so I can meet your pets before setting up a first booking with a new customer. I send great picture updates, so hopefully you won’t miss your dog too much. You will undoubtedly love how passionate I am about keeping your pet in a safe, loving environment while you are away. I am currently working as an 8th grade teacher. I am able to get to your home between the hours of 4pm-10pm on weeknights. I am available all day on Saturdays. I am available Sundays after 10:30am. I am available to do home visits to feed your pets, groom with a brush/bath, play their favorite games, go on long walks or runs, and spend the night if you need a house sitter. I can also take care of other pets including cats, hamsters, fish, chickens, etc. If you need someone to water plants while you are away, I can take care of that too!
“Julia has been a lifesaver for us when we haven’t been able to get home to get our peppy dog out on a walk. She’s been punctual in communicating, clear about her services, and sweet with our dog. Definitely recommend.”
“Kelsey has been great! She has been so nice and sweet to our girl Zoe. She responds very quickly and sends pictures, it really helps. Would recommend her to anyone and will continue booking her for our girl Zoe!”
About: I am an active person who enjoys the company of dogs. I am big into outdoors activities (i.e. running, hiking, etc) and when watching a dog will give my full attention to them. I live in an area that is close to parks, woods and near to the lake) I have always owned a dog. (pomeranian, german shepard/huskie and keshound growing up and currently co-own a Siberian Huskie (she does not live at my home) I feel I have a strong knowledge of the care of dogs. I have watched my sister's dogs on many occasions. One of the two dogs has epilepsy and I now know how to manage dogs with medical conditions. I will be as accommodating as possible to meet your needs as the pet care provider. I am willing to just come check on the dog, take them for walks, and longer care needs.
“Alex is reliable, dependable, and flexible dog walker. She’s been able to get our dog to go to the bathroom on walks (our dog always refused before) and to start loose leash walking. Lily loves Alex and waits at the front door for Alex to pick her up on walk days. I highly recommend Alex!”

About: As a dog lover my whole life, I wasn't able to get one of my own until a year and a half ago. Having our golden retriever Tommy has completely changed my life for the better! I absolutely love dogs of all kinds and enjoy being outdoors and playing with them. I work full time remotely, so I am extremely available and flexible to your schedule. I can accommodate any needs and have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, and everywhere in between. Tommy has been professionally trained and gets along great with other dogs. We are able to keep dogs in our apartment if needed, and have lots of parks and sidewalks near by for exercise. I currently work from home full time, so I am very flexible for your pets needs. I currently keep our golden retriever active (as he very much needs it!) and would love to add another dog to the bunch if needed. I live in an apartment but have lots of access to local parks and walking trails. I am available for drop-in visits and walks as well.
“Absolutely wonderful! GREAT communication and you could tell she really cared about our dog. Fenced in yard too! Our pup had a great weekend and we didn’t worry about him at all. We will definitely be asking her to watch him again.”
