About: Animals have always been at the center of my life. I grew up on a farm, caring for dogs, cats, goats, sheep, and chickens, so reading animal behavior, staying calm under pressure and knowing when somethings off comes naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve trained my own dogs, worked with rescue animals, and volunteered with KARE, where I help rehabilitate, both wild and domestic animals. That experience has taught me how to handle pets of all temperament and backgrounds, including those who were shy, anxious, or still learning the ropes. I personally cared for dogs, cats, ferrets, chinchillas, sugar, gliders, hedgehogs, snakes, fish, turtles, parrots, and a wide variety of reptiles, so chances are, I’ve worked with a pet like yours before! I bring patience and consistency to every interaction, whether it’s a quick drop in or a longer house sit. What sets me apart is that I don’t just love animals, I understand them. Your pet isn’t just a booking to me, they’re a living creature who deserves calm, attentive care from someone who genuinely knows what they’re doing. i’m generally available weekday mornings, weekday evenings, and weekends. My schedule varies week to week, so I keep my calendar updated in real time. If you don’t see any availability that works, feel free to reach out as my schedule sometimes opens up with short notice! when I’m in your home, my priority is keeping your pet safe and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow your KARE instructions closely, do a quick safety check on arrival, and reach out immediately if anything seems off. You’ll get photo updates every visit so you can see your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Alexia was extremely kind and listened attentively to my instructions, and so I knew she would be great caring for my dog. I will definitely be using her services again!”

About: Ever since I was little, I’ve always been surrounded by furry friends. I value the tranquility, love, & affection that animals bring. I love every animal; big or small, energetic or calm, you name it! I will take care of your pup the same way I would my own. I am currently working part-time at Enigma 5PM-10PM (Friday & Saturday nights). I also have class midday Monday-Thursday and Tuesday nights. Other than that, I have all the time in the world for your furry friends! I will go above and beyond what is asked. It’s not only walking, feeding, and watching over your pet, but also making sure they’re apart of a schedule, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

“Grace was amazing handling my German Shepard, My dog is sweet but can be intimidating. He is strong and will bark at other dogs on walks so I always worry a little if people will be comfortable walking him. Grace was awesome with him and put me at ease. I’m so glad I found her to help me out and would use her again!”

About: I know how important my dog's well-being and daily routine is to me, and I would love to help keep your dog in their routine! I have experience caring for and training dogs of all types, and will cater to senior dogs, medical needs, or special needs such as sensitive, selective, or reactive dogs. In my spare time I volunteer with my therapy dog Reese, and have experience fostering and training dogs using positive reinforcement. I know how hard it is to be away from your pet but I can assure a safe and successful walk, sit, or stay! I am currently available for animal care! Available on weekdays, weekends, for stop-ins during the work day, or over weekends. Happy to continue care with boarding or sitting. In your home, I can offer lots of your dog's favorite exercise for every season. Depending on their activity level, we can take walks, runs, or just breaks/sniffs. I always clean up after dogs and demonstrate responsible dog ownership in your neighborhood! For stays at my house: the yard is huge, and backs to forest preserve property and pond, but the yard is unfenced so I am diligent about leashes.

About: I’ve had my little buddy Hugo (long-haired Dachshund) for almost a year now and I love him so much! During my free time, I’d love the chance to let other dogs outside that need it. So excited to meet some cute dogs! I’m also open to dropping in for cats as well :) I’m currently working at a medspa and have some flexibility in my schedule! I’m available most Saturdays and every Sunday. Tuesdays I’m available between 9am-1pm. Other week days anytime after 6pm! I can go on walks, play in the yard, clean up litter boxes, feed and house sit! I cannot offer pet sitting at my house, but I am more than happy to take any directions for watching your dog/cat at your home!

About: I specialize in long term homesitting and animal caregiving. I have worked with puppies, birds, horses, turtles, dogs, fish, and cats. Upon initial entries into your home please ignore your dog and speak calmly to me while leading us to where everyone involved can sit down as soon as possible. This helps put your dog at ease and will minimize their excitement, especially if they are younger and a jumper. For multi-day sits, give your dogs probiotics regularly days leading up to your departure to support the inevitable stress response that effects your dogs digestion. Please also ensure there is plenty of this to continue giving them this support while you are gone. I always really appreciate when clients ask me what food they can get me for when I stay in their home or welcome me to what they already have. I will bring in any packages left outside. I can handle a majority of last minute changes but expect them to occur with added fees. For safety and privacy, I do not consent to be on camera or recorded while inside your home. It is Rover policy that all pet owners disclose indoor cameras locations prior to booking with sitters. Outside cameras are fine with me. I also do not consent to anyone on your property while I am there including non emergency maintenance workers. I do not consent to you disclosing my stay in your home to anyone. I have full time availability to look after your home and animals. I have most of my experience working for families within my community and church. I will maintain requested household responsibilities, keep your animals safe and happy while you are away, and ensure your property is closely monitored to the best of my ability.

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of friends, neighbors, and family. Outside of just my own dogs, I love dogs of all ages, temperaments, and sizes. I’m comfortable with active walks, medication routines, and adapting to each pet’s unique personality and play-style. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or a total cuddle-bug, we will both enjoy our time together. I’m detail‑oriented, patient, and committed to making every pet feel safe and genuinely loved while you’re away. I'm currently searching for a career position, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pups! I’m home frequently and can provide consistent attention throughout the day. I care about your dogs' healthy routines, as I know they will help mine. I offer a flexible schedule, weekend availability, and reliable communication so you always know how your pet is doing. I hope you like update photos! In my home, each dog receives lots of attention. I treat every pet like they're my own, so your pet’s routine becomes my routine. I follow feeding schedules, walking habits, and comfort preferences exactly as you describe. I will send regular updates with photos and notes so you feel connected and reassured.

About: I enjoy meeting new clients and dogs everyday! Training puppies/ dogs who need help with training/dog language. I like to make sure the clients dog is happy, and enjoying my company. Making sure dogs sit for a treat, is a great way to make sure they know how to sit for a treat! It’s always good practice! It also is good with their food too! I work part time at a doggy daycare in carol stream. I enjoy meeting new clients/ dogs when they are brought into my work! I love to train newer puppies how to play, sit and stay! I have a fenced in yard and I enjoying spending some relaxing time with my pup! I get to play with him outside a lot. Sometimes i like take them on walks together or separately.

About: After traveling thousands of miles and leaving my home country, I also had to leave my little pet in the care of the most important person in my life, my mom. My dog has always been my greatest emotional support, and being apart from him inspired me to stay connected to the love, energy, and purity that pets bring into our lives. I want to care for your pets as if they were my own, giving them all the affection, attention, and respect they deserve. I am currently dedicating myself full-time to pet care. This allows me to be 100% available to take care of your pets throughout the week. For now, I’m available 24/7 and fully committed to giving them the attention and care they need. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while in your home. I ensure they’re in a familiar environment, maintaining their routine to reduce any stress. During walks, I always use secure leashes, stay alert to surroundings, and avoid potential hazards. I respect your home, following any specific guidelines you provide, and ensure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve. My goal is to create a trustworthy and safe experience for both you and your furry friend!

“Jessica did an amazing job walking my pitbull! She was punctual, professional, and clearly experienced with handling dogs. My pup came back happy and well-exercised. She was also very communicative, giving me updates during the walk, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for family and friends' pets, I have developed a deep understanding of various animal needs and behaviors. My hands-on experience includes feeding, walking, and providing companionship to a variety of pets, ensuring they feel loved and secure. I take pride in creating a nurturing environment where pets can thrive, whether it's for short visits or extended stays. My commitment to their well-being ensures that every pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I have flexible availability to care for your pets. I am open for: Weekdays: Mornings and afternoons, with the option for early evening care. Weekends: All day, and pets are welcome to stay at my house, including overnight stays. I can accommodate specific schedules and last-minute requests to ensure your pets receive the care they need. I prioritize the safety and well-being of all pets in my care. I have a spacious yard where dogs can play and explore safely. Additionally, I crate my dog when necessary to ensure a secure environment for all pets, providing peace of mind for their owners.

About: 10 years ago I had the opportunity of getting a schnauzer called Lady and since then my world changed with her. 6 years ago I moved from Ecuador to Florida and Lady had to stay with my family, and since then I have been able to be around furry friends as I would take care of my friends dogs and cats while they went on vacation. I currently own a 20 gallon fish tank with 40+ fishies and due to work I cannot own my own furry friend yet. I know my work schedule with a month in advance and I have at least 12 days off every month. Usually my days off are during the week and depending on my schedule I can take care of the doggies or cats before/after I finish working. I live in a townhome around a lot of trails and parks where I can go with your dogs to play. I do not have any other pets except for my fishies at home so they would have my complete attention.

About: I take time to learn each pet’s routine and personality, creating a calm, cozy experience that feels just like home. I’m dependable, follow instructions closely, and treat every animal with the same care and consistency I’d give my own! My availability is completely open and flexible, so I am able to come on over and take care of your pet even in last minute scenarios! I have four cats and a golden retriever of my own and I absolutely adore all of them! Pets, listen up if you’re reading this, I care for them by providing multiple cuddles and belly rubs throughout the day. I take my golden on three walks a day- morning, afternoon, and evening. I feed my cats in the morning and their wet food in the evening, and of course my golden is a little spoiled (very loved) so he gets a special meal cooked for him. He also requires medication twice a day which is another responsibility of mine! Overall, every pet in my household is very loved and I would love to bring that love and care to your pets as well.

“Chloe was amazing with our two bernadoodles! She communicated with us very well each time she took care of our pups and was very caring and prompt! We appreciate Chloe!!”
