“Would definitely use Glen again! He was kind, consistent and trustworthy. Took care of our 2 seniors dogs while we were out of town. He was always on time and patient with them. Kept in touch and sent pictures daily, made us feel very comfortable while away.”


“Bonnie was very nice and willing to do a meet and greet to make sure my animals were comfortable with her. She sent tons of pictures and updates and although she ran into a small problem at one point she handled it well!”


“Grace is wonderful she’s so kind and friendly. She came highly recommended to us and we now do the same. Our Winnie was very well cared for while we were away for the day but”

About: I have two excellent pit bulls who are very well trained and have been around animals my whole life . I'm big and strong so I can walk dogs that may be too strong for other people including pit bulls , Rottweilers , and dogs over 120 pounds . Have also never met an animal who hasn't liked me. Have had experience with other dog sitting jobs as well. Very reliable and always on time and have a passion for all animals, not just dogs . I also know portions for what most dogs eat and have my own dog that has severe anxiety , so any fidgety or scared dog I would know how to cope with . Thank you and hope to hear from you soon ! I work part time for Uber eats so I can be available whenever. My schedule is fit to your needs and I will accommodate them. I would just do as the owner asked and let’s the pet adjust to me. Throw them a ball or play with a toy with them.

We are genuine animal lovers here. Your cherished pet will definitely enjoy our securely fenced backyard to run & play in and we also have quick access to various local parks and forest preserves for long walks. We offer care, companionship and mellow walks for those old friends who are less active, too.

We value your time greatly and we rely on you to be punctual so that everyone's schedules can be met. We're looking forward to meeting you & your furry friend!

About: Growing up I have been blessed with having dogs around my whole life. Feeding, grooming, walking, playing, and giving attention to dogs not something new to me and what I have come to enjoy. Cleaning up after them is not something that bothers me, it is just a menial and necessary task when it happens. My aspiration to work with animals in the future is what motivates me to do this. My official training experience I have obtained has to do with marine mammal training since that is something I am working towards. Working with dogs my whole life, and the experience that I continue to obtain, will help me in my future endeavors. Please let me know if help is needed and we can discuss times! My availability begins after 3:00 PM on weekdays, which allows me to dedicate focused time for dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and administering medications if needed (with instructions). I’m flexible in the afternoons and evenings, and I make it a priority to give pets the attention, care, and affection they need when their owners are away. Caring for animals is something I look forward to, and I approach each visit with responsibility and love. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow your instructions closely, whether it's feeding schedules, giving medications (if shown how), or their favorite ways to play or relax. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own—whether we’re playing in the yard, going on a walk, or just enjoying some cuddle time. I don’t stay overnight or board pets in my home, but I’m reliable and happy to help with consistent check-ins and lots of love during my visits!

Tina B.
“Tina has always loved dogs since she was little, and I'm always amazed at how she is able to get them to listen to her commands. We have an 85 pound dog that is pure muscle, full of energy, and extremely stubborn. She's a very good girl and loves people, but doesn't realize her size and how strong she can be. We have gotten asked if we were walking a moose. There have been many times where our dog had dragged us on walks. We asked Tina to help out and boy, we couldn't ask for anyone better. She was able to get our dog to walk properly and stop dragging us all over. She was able to teach me and my mom how to properly correct her when we walked her. Tina has always been very calm and patient toward our dog whenever we needed help or when she was visiting. Our dog listens to Tina and I believe it's because of the way Tina uses positive reinforcement to reinforce certain behaviors. I have been telling Tina this since we had gotten our dog that she should be a dog trainer.”

Xelines B.
“Xelines stayed with our dog, Lilly, for a week while we were on vacation. Xelines is a very friendly, responsible young woman who loves dogs and Lilly took to her immediately. Everything went very well; she took excellent care of Lilly and we felt very fortunate to have her. I would definitely recommend her for dog sitting.”


Zak S.
“Zak took care of our little Mitzi several different times while we we out of town. Zak is our neighbor & attended our church. Zak is a very responsible person, is reliable, trustworthy, kind hearted, and loves dogs. While we were on vacation, he cared for Mitzi, played with her and sat with her for hours each day. He also told us that we could call him to check on how things were going, and he called us if he had any questions. I am sure he will lovingly care for your dog as he cared for ours!”
