“Cassidy took such amazing care of our cat Blue while we were away for an extended period of time. He is normally hesitant and shy with strangers, but it was clear that he warmed up to her right away. She sent thoughtful updates and the best photos, and it was such a relief that I never had to worry once about how Blue was doing while we were gone. I would absolutely recommend her to any of my friends/family! ???”


“Gregory took amazing care of our cat. Great communication and thorough check-ins. Our kitty is usually a little upset with us after returning from travel, but this time he was his usual happy self.

About: I have experience with dogs with anxiety who use medication, needy/clingy dogs, and dogs with disabilities. I am extremely thorough and patient in case something goes wrong with them and I maintain a calm demeanor at all times. When it comes to instructions, please provide a brief, detailed description of your pet's daily routine and I'll follow it to the letter. I'm currently a graduate student at CSU; summers are a slow period for me. I am more than willing to babysit pets for as many nights, walks, feeding times as needed. During school time I will do walks, feeding visits and the occasional overnight weekend stay. I am committed to your pet's comfort level and will adapt to their schedule to the best of my ability. I will spoil them rotten because I absolutely love all dogs and cats of all shapes and mannerisms. Even if they hate me. If I am confused about anything regarding your pet's behavior, such as licking paws, over-grooming, an increase in urination, I will let you know about it as soon as I see it. I also LOVE talking to the pets so I will have full-on conversations with them. I'm especially good with repeat visits so if you are interested in having a one-time sitter for the next few years, I'm MORE than willing to take up that responsibility. Familiarity is very important with pets and as mentioned before, I am focused on the pet's comfort.

“David helped me with a last-minute request for a drop-in visit. He's watched Sam multiple times, and that was comforting. Plus, David made the trip on a day when we were getting hit by a snowstorm. I'm grateful for his help and care with Sam.”

“I really appreciate Alex being able to provide drop-in visits to my dog Summer! Alex was very friendly, compassionate, and trustworthy. My dog was left in good, caring hands! I will definitely book again in the future.”


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: I’ve been taking care of big and small dogs since I was 16. I’ve always made sure to make them as comfortable with me as possible. I have a very flexible schedule so I am always available to stop by or be at the house if needed. I always have time on my hands to take care of your fur baby. I have a gated yard that has lots of space for your fur babies to roam around free. I have a cage if needed at any time and I’m always attentive to the pets, especially around other pets.

About: My wife and I love dogs and own 2 small shitzu/bichon ourselves. Our house is ideal because we have a large fenced yard and are near a park. If there is inclement weather, we also have a large basement. Since we no longer have young children in the home, dogs provide us with joy and love. We walk our own dogs twice a day and play with them frequently. Since I work from home, the dogs are not left alone often or for long periods of time.

About: Hi! My name is Deaven. I am a United States Marine Corps veteran and a former law enforcement officer! I currently have a German Shepherd and two cats! I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. Even when I was a young child, I used to help my grandmother out at her pet sitting business. I have been employed as a dog walker by “Wag!” and have had 0 complaints from any of my clients. I have been around all types and sizes of dogs from a teacup chihuahua to a Great Dane. Whenever duty calls, I am always eager to answer the phone. Anything you or your dog need, never hesitate to ask. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I’m currently working part time at the hospital, so I’ll have plenty of time to fit you and your furry friends into my schedule ! I have a fenced in yard and a dog friendly German Shepherd that would love a new friend! I can also crate your dog if needed or keep your dog separate from mine.

About: I’ve had pets since I was 8. I’ve had dogs, a cat, hamsters, fish, a bunny, and chickens. They were all very unique and had different needs and levels of interaction needed to keep them happy, and I was and am still very happy to do so! I would like to extend my care to a wider variety of clients, so I have set my radius to a larger range, but bookings further away from my location will require an added on trip charge to cover the extra distance. I do work another job outside of pet sitting, but it is part time, so I still have availability to fit in caring for your fur babies. I will try to stick to their normal routine as close as possible with my schedule! I love seeing the different personalities in each animal I encounter, and learning their quirks and interests. I always pay attention to body language, and realize that animals also have their boundaries.

About: Hi my name is Tarah I love dog all breads and ages. I work from home with short hours so I am always available. I have 2 puppies as well if my own.

I go to the dog park and take them in walks in the neighborhood.

About: I’ve been lucky to have been around dogs my whole life. My love for dogs has only been amplified by working with dogs. I have 8 years of doggie daycare experience and I am currently a manager at a dog hotel. Working with dogs has been such a rewarding experience and I’ve learned so much along the way including administration of medication and caring for senior dogs. My partner is also in the pet care industry, so you can be at ease knowing that your pet is in good hands. Im currently working 35 hours a week spread between 4 days. I’m at home for three days for all day hang outs. I also have the option of bringing your pup with me to work. I live in a two bedroom apartment with a spacious living room. I also have a small fenced in back-yard for your pup to get plenty of out door time. I live in a quiet neighborhood and close to several forest preserves for longer nature walks. I can easily crate your dog if needed and am able to let them free roam if that’s what they are used to. I will do my best to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. I also am comfortable caring for dogs that need medications.

“If you're looking for someone to treat your dog with the same love and care that you would, Paul is your guy. I wanted to make sure that my dog was with someone that would take him for long walks, play, and simply stimulate him throughout the day. He was great with my dog and I couldn't imagine leaving him in anyone else's care but his. I strongly recommend utilizing his services. ”

SaTarah N.

Frances & Luis R.
“We LOVE Frances. I met her through our work (also with dogs!) and was more comfortable leaving them with her than at our work (as my dogs have only ever slept in houses/with people, never a kennel/vet). THEY. LOVE. HER. To the point where, when last we booked with Frances, they knew the sound of the car parked outside and Could. Not. Wait. To. Get. In. Very kid at a sleepover 'okayseeyamomloveyaBYE!!!!' Also it's easy to get an update whenever we want one, which is always nice/keeps peace of mind, not that we need it at this point. 17/10 recommend.”
