About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve been caring for them since childhood and have gained extensive experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I spent two years working at an animal shelter, where I handled everything from socializing shy rescues to assisting with basic training and care for high-energy pups. In addition to my shelter experience, I’ve cared for senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with special needs, including those with mobility issues and anxiety. I also offer boarding, walking, and drop-in visits, ensuring that every pup in my care gets the love, attention, and exercise they need. Whether it’s a cuddle session, a long walk, or playtime, I’m dedicated to making dogs feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. 🚨🚨🚨 PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING 🚨🚨🚨 To see your pup featured, follow me on Instagram: @mani_thedogsitter 🐶📸 Weekday Availability: I work full-time but have the flexibility to check on your pets during my lunch breaks. If your pup needs a midday potty break, meal, or some quick love and attention, I’m happy to help! Weekend Availability: I'm fully available on weekends and love to include dogs in my plans whenever possible! Whether it’s a relaxing day at home, a walk in the park, or an outing, I strive to make their stay fun and engaging. Potty Training Requirement: Dogs must be potty trained. If your pup is prone to accidents, please provide diapers to keep them comfortable and clean.

Looking forward to welcoming your furry friend! 🐕❤️ I have a small yard with a secure chain link setup, providing a safe space for dogs to play and stretch their legs. While my yard is not fully fenced, I always ensure supervised outdoor time to keep your pup safe. Your dog will also have a built-in playmate—my own friendly pup! Having a companion can help ease anxiety and make their stay more fun and engaging. Whether they love to play, lounge, or explore, I create a comfortable, stress-free environment where every dog feels at home. Safety is my top priority, and I’m committed to giving your pet the care and attention they deserve! ❤️🐕

“This was my first time using Rover for my 2 dogs and Keira was Great! From my first request to the time she completed the drop in visits she was very professional. She was prompt with responding to me and extremely polite. I appreciated all the communication with updates and pictures. I will definitely ask Keira to help us again in the future.”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with a special soft spot for cats. I grew up with dogs and I've been a dedicated cat lady for over 20 years. I can't imagine life without my fur balls! I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets and I treat every pet in my care like one of my own. I currently work full time, between home and office, so I am unavailable for morning/afternoon check-ins and walks on Wednesdays & Thursdays. If your pup is staying the day with me or boarding overnight, my office is dog friendly and I'd be glad to take them with me to work! I do not currently accept any other type of pet for boarding at my home. My second floor apartment is a quiet, relaxing oasis with many good spots for napping and listening to the birds. I live in a relatively quiet and large neighborhood with lots of blocks to go for walks. Whether I'm caring for your fur-child at your home or mine, you can expect that I will fulfill all discussed expectations. :) My two cats are very chill and friendly. However, Nermal does not have much experience yet with dogs/other cats and may act shy and hiss/meow upon meeting. If this a concern, I can separate the pets with a baby gate so they can still check each other out. :)

“Roxy was responsive, arrived as scheduled, and checked on our pets as requested. I also appreciate Roxy bringing in our mail packages that were left at the door. Thank you!”

Jen D.

“Margaret is awesome! She is very respectful of our unique requests. She is amazing with our Zoe. Definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”

About: I grew up with dogs - my Afghan, Kesha, was my first best friend and how I learned to braid (lol). I've cared for Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, Cockers, and Min Pins. I've dog-sat and cat-sat for family and neighbors for years, and now my daughters and I are ready to open our peaceful home and fenced yard to pets needing love while their people are away. Our house has a crate, a basement space, and plenty of tail-wagging energy. Dogs aren't just welcome here, they're remembered forever. I'm currently home during the day with a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time, space, and love to offer pets who need calm, consistent care while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my routine and brings so much joy into our home. I approach every client's home with the same respect. I would want someone to have in mine. I've worked in private homes as a section 8 inspector, a home care aide, and an insurance rep, so I'm comfortable operating professionally in someone else's space. I follow all house rules, keep things clean, and ensure pets feel safe and at ease while you're away. We live in a pet-friendly neighborhood. My daughters and I often take walks around the neighborhood, so any pet we care for will get the benefit of fresh air, familiar sights, and friendly energy. We have a peaceful, fenced yard, a crate if needed, and a quiet, unoccupied basement space for rest or separation when appropriate. I'm very aware of animal behavior, neighbor pets, and how to make pets feel safe and seen. This is a calm, kid-friendly, and pet-loving home.

About: With over 20 years of dedicated pet care experience, I provide compassionate and reliable services tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, administering medication, or offering overnight stays, I ensure your fur love bugs receive the utmost care and attention. My commitment to building trusting relationships with both pets and their owners has been the cornerstone of my long-standing career in pet sitting. As a dedicated pet sitter, I structure my daily and weekly schedule to ensure I am highly available and responsive to the needs of both pets and their owners. Caring for pets in their owners’ homes requires a combination of attentiveness, respect, and adherence to established routines to ensure the well-being of the animals and the security of the home.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I bring to every pet I watch—whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog who needs extra TLC. I have experience with all ages and temperaments, including administering medication, handling senior mobility needs, and reinforcing basic training commands for puppies. I’m attentive, patient, and treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also send regular updates and photos, so you always know your furry friend is in good hands! As an unemployed veteran currently pursuing my master’s degree, I have a very open and flexible schedule—making pet care a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I genuinely love animals and find joy in spending quality time with them, whether it’s going on walks, playing, or providing calm companionship. My background has taught me discipline, responsibility, and attention to detail, which I bring into every pet-sitting experience. Since my schedule is so open, I’m able to give pets the time, care, and attention they deserve—without rushing or distractions. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to create a calm, familiar environment. In my home, I keep the space clean, secure, and pet-friendly—free of hazards and full of cozy spots to relax. When in a client’s home, I’m respectful, tidy, and follow all instructions closely to maintain consistency for your pet. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

About: I have worked with animals in various roles throughout the years, from working in a doggy daycare, to volunteering and fostering with various rescue organizations (OTAT, RWAR). I am experienced in senior pet care, administering medication, and some obedience training. I have a soft spot for brachycephalic breeds, and I owned and raised a Boston Terrier rescue dog for 12 years (RIP Batman 2009-2023). I currently own a mellow and submissive lab/husky mix, Henry, and a Maine Coon/Domestic Medium Hair cat, Tater Tot. Both get along with other animals. I am currently not working a full time “normal” job, so I have plenty of time to walk and babysit your furry friends. I am available for on-demand walks in the city limits of Chicago and south suburbs. For North and Northwest Suburbs, I can be flexible with enou I own a historic Victorian row home; it is 3 stories plus a basement and 2600 sq ft. My home is in the heart of the Historic Pullman District, on National Park Service land. My neighborhood is VERY safe, and my home is also down the street from the 005 District Police Station. My home has plenty of room to spare for your fur children. Not only that, I also have a 6 ft fully fenced yard. There is a dog park 3 blocks from my home, and I am in close proximity to several Forest Preserves. If baths are requested, bath lovers can enjoy baths in a jacuzzi tub, and bath tolerators will be bathed in a walk in shower with a double rainfall showerhead, and a handheld shower head for the hard to reach spots. I can offer pickup and dropoff for those without a car or time to spare, and dogs will be transported in a seatbelt for safety.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I’ve grown up around them so I know how to take proper care of dogs of all sizes. I have a true love for animals and so I try to show each pert the love that they deserve. I’ve also fostered dogs while being at school, as well as done community service work at animal shelters and vet offices. I am a college student home for the summer. I have a pretty open availability and am able to meet all of your pet needs. I am available for walks, potty time, as well as staying with your fur baby as needed. With my love of animals it’s important to me that they receive the love they would from their owner so I make sure to stick to any routines and create new experiences for each pet. I am open to meeting the needs of your pet based on the space available. Whether that’s walks, playtime, etc. I drive so I’m open to going to parks and locations for enrichment time and whatever is needed.

“Darcelle was great and my cats loved having her drop by to check on them. I appreciated that she played with them and cleaned up the food dishes. I recommend her and plan to call on her again when I can't be home.”
