“Kassandra is marvelous! She's friendly, kind, and very reliable. My dogs adore her! She's been a great help while I've been recovering from surgery; her dog walking has made Birdie and Gracie so much happier and calmer. I would use her services again in a minute!”

“Vicki was very patient, professional, and dependable. She was a great help to my elderly father and his dog-walking needs. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up around a variety of animals my whole life and I have been caring for others pets since I was 13 years old. I have always loved animals and treat everyone's pets as if they were my own. My senior year of high school I created my senior project around therapy dogs and helping special needs children. I trained my own dog to be a certified therapy dog through the organization known as Pet Partners. The remainder of the project was visiting with special needs children and doing educational activities. We also visited libraries and young children with developing their reading skills. I recently graduated from Purdue University with an Animal Science degree which has allowed me to gain even more knowledge on how to care for people's pets. I also have knowledge of animal CPR and first aid for cats and dogs. I'm looking forward to being apart of this pet care community and providing excellent care to all the pets I encounter.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and I’m the person animals tend to relax around quickly. Even the anxious, shy, or “takes a minute to warm up” types usually settle in fast with me. I’m comfortable with: * High-energy dogs that need structure and movement * Older dogs that need patience and a slower pace * Cats (including the ones who pretend they don’t like anyone) My approach is simple: I meet your pet where they are. Some want play and stimulation. Others just want calm presence and consistency. I adjust to them—not the other way around. What You Can Expect * Clear, consistent communication (updates + photos without you having to ask) * Reliable timing — I show up when I say I will * Respect for your home and routines * A calm, steady presence that pets respond well to I don’t treat this like a quick gig—I treat it like your pet is depending on me, because they are. Why Clients Choose Me A lot of sitters can “watch” pets. Fewer actually understand how to read them. I pay attention to behavior, energy, and small changes so your pet stays comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. 🐾 Extras * Comfortable with basic routines, feeding schedules, walks, and play * Happy to follow specific instructions (meds, routines, quirks) * Flexible depending on your pet’s needs If you’re looking for someone reliable, calm, and easy to work with—who your pet will actually enjoy being around—I’m a good fit. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pet consistent attention and not just quick drop-ins. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, with afternoons and evenings wide open. I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, or extended stays depending on your needs. I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so your pet gets real time, not rushed care. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time, and I’m experienced managing multiple dogs calmly and safely. If your dog is crate-trained or has a specific routine, I’ll follow it exactly to keep things consistent and stress-free. I pay attention to behavior, energy, and boundaries to make sure every pet feels comfortable—whether they’re social, shy, or need their own space. I also keep a clean, structured environment and provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Crissy has been helping us for many weeks now and we love her! Our three dogs can be a handful, but I always know they are in good hands with Crissy. I know this is like my third review. But seriously- if youre looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and with the perfect calming energy for your dogs- Crissy is the best choice.”

“Brooke was fantastic! She walked both of my dogs and took great care of them. Everything went smoothly—she was punctual, friendly, and clearly loves animals. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Leah is the best! She goes above and beyond for scooby and genuinely can tell she loves animals. She takes him on great walks and adores her from all the photos I see! 💖”

Adel R.

“We used Kate several weeks for a short term assignment. She was friendly and very communicative with us about her walks with our two Frenchies. Our dogs enjoyed her company!”

Janet C.

“Stephanie was amazing! She came over for a meet and greet on short notice and stayed for an hour to answer all of my questions, and meet my pup. She came over every day to walk her while I was away and my family was working. She even checked to make sure my dog was given her medicine and gave it to her if needed. I got messages/updates and pictures every day which really put me at ease. Not only did she take excellent care of my baby, but she also checked in on me to see how my trip was, which was really nice of her. Stephanie really went above and beyond just walking Charlie, she took the time to make sure she had everything she needed and gave her plenty of love. I will absolutely use her in the future!!”

About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting since I was 10 for my neighbors! I’ve worked at a dog daycare as well as a veterinary clinic, so I have lots of experience with animals!

Animals are precious and should always be treated as such. I always personalize my care according to your wishes and instructions!

“Absolutely love Katelyn. I am very protective of who I allow to walk my Zoey since she is known to be quite a puller and loves to bark. After the meet and greet I felt completely comfortable with Katelyn walking Zoey.”

About: I have lived with large dogs my entire life and have been put in charge of caring for them overnight and long periods of time for about 10 years. I have experience training dogs and have exceptional patience in every aspect of pet care. Starting in August, I will be available as my availability states (if something looks different from the days you need, let's chat!) I live with three large dogs currently, so I am more than capable of caring for animals at whatever time needed. I am good with slow introductions for anxious animals, and proficient with acclimating and calming down hyper animals. I have excellent skill in reading animals’ body language and curating according responses.

“It’s our first time having someone walk our 5 months old puppy, and Nicole was super nice, communicative and respectful to our puppy ( we had very bad experience with the dog care in Schaumburg). Nicole was above and beyond and our puppy was very happy with her, that’s everything we wanted.”
