“Celine is great!! She is very flexible and was able to help us out on short notice. My dog immediately loved her and she was very patient with him as he can be a bit difficult to walk. She is very kind and I definitely trust her with my dog! Thank you Celine!”


“Tony was fabulous! My dog loved him right away at the meet and greet and I knew she would be in good hands. He shade jumped making sure she didn’t get to hot in the sun, brought in packages, took lots of pictures, and left great notes! We’ll definitely be scheduling him again in the future!”


“I was so thankful for Maddie’s last minute help walking my dog when my initial plans fell through. Her communication with me throughout the day was excellent and she went above and beyond. Thank you for taking such good care of our MooMoo.”


“Christy is fantastic! She jumped right in when I needed someone last minute and I am so happy to have found her. She does very well with my pit bull mix Jameson. He can be difficult sometimes, but Christy seems to take it all in stride.”


About: I’m What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my personalized, attentive care and deep understanding of each dog’s unique needs. I go beyond basic pet sitting by providing a nurturing, safe, and engaging environment where dogs feel comfortable and loved. Whether it’s adhering to specific routines, offering extra playtime, or ensuring an stress-free experience, I tailor your services to fit both the pet and owner’s expectations. My reliability, strong communication, and genuine passion for animals make me a trusted choice, ensuring that every dog in my care receives top-quality attention and companionship. Pet care fits into your routine by allowing me to dedicate my full attention to dogs from Friday to Sunday. With full-day availability on these days, I can provide consistent, hands-on care, whether it’s dog sitting, walking, or engaging in playtime. This schedule ensures that pet owners can rely on me for weekend getaways or busy days, knowing their pets are in capable and caring hands. In my home, pet care involves integrating client pets into a safe, pet-friendly environment alongside my three dogs and cat. I ensure a smooth introduction, manage interactions carefully, and provide a structured routine that includes feeding, exercise, and relaxation. My home offers a welcoming space where pets feel comfortable and engaged. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their routine, reducing stress by keeping them in a familiar environment. I provide personalized attention, follow feeding and medication schedules, ensure ample play and exercise, and offer companionship while keeping the home secure and tidy. My adaptability and experience with multiple pets make me well-equipped to provide top-quality care in either setting.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I love dogs and can’t wait to help you with the care of yours. I can help with basics of feeding walking and care. I am looking for dog walks to help myself get exercise while helping you get your dog exercise! I can help out early morning or evenings. I have an enclosed small yard and access to trails and dog parks. When your dog is with me they are part of my family!!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, and now I have my own 2 adopted mutts (and my 2 fur nephews). I grew up on a farm, so I’m pretty confident with animals, but if you have any concerns or special needs I’m happy to discuss or schedule a meet and greet! I work full time remotely, but have primary duties in the afternoon and evenings, so I’m almost always free for a midday stroll or potty break! At our house there are 4 dogs and lots of kids running in and out, but if your pup is okay with that there’s a huge back yard with a tether, or a neighborhood with sidewalks for walks if that’s more their speed. At your house, I follow your rules! I love to know your dogs favorite spots and which houses are “behind enemy lines.” I’m 6’4 and my hound is quite the rhinoceros, so I can walk the best of them!

About: I have found a love of dog care and enrichment while training my Cockalier pup in scent work, dock diving, and tricks! My dog and I love going on daily walks and playing frisbee in the yard, and it would be my pleasure to host your pup! Currently WFH with flexible morning, lunchtime, and evening schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your pup and get them the exercise and enrichment they need! I have a pet-friendly home and a large yard (although it is not fenced) in a safe neighborhood. I am close to many metroparks and walking trails for daily walks.

About: I have taken care of a dog for 12 years and have experience dog sitting all kinds of breeds. Neighbors, family members, and friends have all asked me to dog sit for them. I am devoted to providing loving and undivided care for your dog whether it’s walking, playing, or lots of petting. I am a student right now but I have plenty of free time to stop by and spend time with your dog. My schedule is flexible and allows me to check in with your dog throughout the day. In my home or yours my goal is providing a safe and comfortable environment for your dog. I make sure that there is plenty of space to relax and play. I stick to their routines when it comes to feeding, walking, playing, etc to keep them comfortable and consistent.

About: Growing up, my family always had a dog in our house ever since our first furry member - a sweet German Shepherd/Lab mix named Maggie - who we often referred to as Nanna from the dog in Disney’s Peter Pan. She was the most gentle, patient, and loving dog who just loved being apart of the family, especially with us kids. She often would go into each of us children’s rooms during the night to check on us before going back to my parent’s room to sleep. After her heartbreaking passing from cancer, we would later get Bruce - a Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix - whose energy and character fit very well into our family. Bruce was a mama’s boy who loved to chew and hide his toy bones and followed my mom around like a shadow until his passing in the summer of 2024. While my earliest dog owning experience comes from the two dogs of my childhood, my own personal experience of owning, raising, training, and personally caring for a dog that relied on me to ensure all their needs are met, didn’t come until February of 2022 when my now fiancé and I would drive out to Amish country to get our Sidney boy - a border collie/blue heeler mix - when he was just 9-weeks old. Anyone who has ever owned either of these breeds knows that they are not only highly intelligent, but also very energetic and incredibly active. They are also velcro dogs, so once they choose their person, they will stick to them like glue. At that time, I was in the process of looking for a new job and staying home, so that person my dog stuck too was me. Since I was able to stay home with him for a majority of his early puppy phase, I was able to prioritize and focus on not just his house training, but his basic training such as sitting, not chewing on anything that wasn’t one of his toys, not begging for food, or to drop whatever is on his mouth with the word “drop”. The teething phase was like owning on baby piranha, but giving him a frozen washcloth and lots of chew toys seemed to do the trick. I made sure to leash-train him for walks as soon as he had all of his shots, since knowing how to walk on a leash is not something that comes naturally to dogs. While pulling is still one of my dogs habits, we’ve learned that it mostly comes from excitement and becomes less persistent after a few minutes into a walk. For reference, my dog is around 50 pounds and has that cattle dog strength, so when he locks-in and sees another dog, I’m pretty good at holding my own and redirecting. So whether your dog is a gentle giant, an energetic fur ball, or an overly excited working dog, you won’t find many jobs that are too big or small for me! I currently work from home Mondays and Wednesdays, unless I am taking time off or on vacation. If you ever need me to stop by and check on your dog at any time during those days would not be an issue. On the days I go into work, I can check on your dog to let out and feed before I go into the office (anytime before 9) and after I get off (anytime after 6). If you were a senior that needs to walk their dog, but have mobility issues, please feel free to reach out to me and we can discuss which days would work best for me to come and walk your dog. However, for dog walking services, I will not walk dogs if the temperature is over 80°F. This means that some weeks it would have to be early morning or later at night, especially during the summer time, unless your dog has shoes for the pavement. If your dog has shoes for walking in warmer weather, this can be an exemption, however, the temperature at the time of the walk may alter the duration of how long we walk in order to ensure the health and safety of your pet. Well, I am not currently offering services to watch dogs in my own home, I am available when needed to care for your animals in the comfort of your own home. Not only do I have my own cat and dog whose safety and comfort I must consider, I have found that most animals feel a lot more comfortable staying in an environment they are already used to, since not a lot of animals like change. On the days that I work from home (Mondays and Wednesdays) I can: - Stop by whenever during the day to let your dogs out. - Top off water your pet’s water, administer medication (if the medication is oral). - Walk your dog (depending on the weather and temperature). - And any other care, your pet may require. On the days that I have to go into the office, I can provide the following care: - Let your dog out before and after work. - Feed your dog after letting them out. - Feed/Check-in on your cat and make sure that have everything they need. - Walk your dog (Depending on the weather and temperature). - Give your pets some company by either playing, betting, or just sitting with them for a bit during check-ins. Whatever they are comfortable with.
