“I can’t say enough good things about Heather—super reliable, punctual, and accommodating! I had a family emergency happen and Heather agreed to watch my dog at the last minute! She has taken very good care of my dog and has went above and beyond! If you’re on the fence about having her take care of your dog, have no worries— your pet is in wonderful hands!”


“Kathryn did drop-in visits for my cat for a week, and she was wonderful! She’s very responsive to messages/questions before and during the visit. My cat is not always interested in new people, but at our meet-and-greet, he clearly liked her and she was really great with him. She definitely loves animals and definitely “gets” and enjoys cats. For every visit, she sent a nice message about how he was doing/behaving, and his food intake and activities while she visited. She even figured out his food likes and dislikes very quickly! I had left a window open and she let me know she closed it because it was raining, which I appreciated. And for each visit she took great photos of him, which I really enjoyed—l miss him a lot when I’m gone and it was good to see him interacting with her, playing, etc. When I came back, he was happy, healthy, and his usual self. I’m so happy I found her and highly recommend her—she will take great care of any pet!”


“Sam was amazing with my cats while I was out of town for work. Even my shy cat was very happy to see her and she sent plenty of update pictures to help me feel connected with them!”



“Ann was fantastic with our pups. At just a year old, they're still learning so much and she has a natural way with dogs. They (and we) really enjoyed meeting her and we're looking forward to future visits!”


“Amanda was great with our cats! She was very reliable and responsive, and gave us thorough updates and plenty of pictures while watching our cats over the holidays.”


About: Choosing the right caregiver for your beloved pet is a big decision—and I’m here to make that choice easy. I bring a unique blend of professional knowledge and genuine passion to every animal I care for. With a Bachelor of Science in Animal Science and CPR certification, I’ve spent years working as a veterinary technician specializing in post-surgical and senior dog rehabilitation, including advanced treatments like laser therapy and hydrotherapy. This means I’m fully equipped to handle pets with special medical needs, from recovery support to ongoing senior care. But my commitment goes beyond skills and certifications. I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life, and caring for animals is my true passion. I treat every dog like a member of my own family—offering personalized attention, patience, and love. Whether you have a lively puppy needing training and playtime or a senior dog requiring gentle rehab and extra care, I’m dedicated to keeping your pet happy, healthy, and safe. When you trust me with your pet’s care, you’re choosing peace of mind, professional expertise, and heartfelt dedication. Your furry friend deserves the best—and that’s exactly what I deliver. Pet care is my full-time focus and passion. Without other work commitments, I’m able to dedicate my days to providing attentive, personalized care for your pets. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or specialized support like rehab exercises, I’m fully available to meet their needs and give them the love and attention they deserve every day. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I provide companionship, regular walks, feeding, playtime, and any special care your pet needs—all while respecting your home and following your instructions closely. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where your pet feels happy and cared for, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Here's a review you can use for the pet sitter: I recently hired Carmen to take care of my dogs, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience! From the very beginning, her communication was outstanding. She kept me updated with regular texts and photos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. What impressed me the most was how observant and caring she was with my dogs. Carmen took the time to understand their individual personalities and needs, ensuring they felt comfortable and loved during my absence. It was evident that she genuinely cares about animals. I highly recommend Carmen to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate pet sitter. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”


About: Hi, I’m Alek! I grew up alongside both dogs and cats, and now there’s no one I’d rather spend time with. I have lots of experience with dogs, ranging from young adults to seniors and everything in between. I’m particularly good with large pups, I had 4 German Shepherd Dogs throughout my childhood. I also have abundant experience with cats. On top of having an adorable kitty of my own (Stella), I used to help foster stray kittens and place their mothers in loving forever homes. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I have very open availability. Outside of Wednesdays I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking at any hour you may want or need. The only holiday I consistently travel for is Independence Day. My grandpa, a lifelong veterinarian, taught me the patience to take a moment and truly try to understand what our furry companions are telling us. They may not talk, but they are avid communicators. Also, as someone who has hired plenty of pet sitters, I know how important frequent updates are, so I will make sure to keep you posted as much as you want.

“Jessica was wonderful! Super great with communication, very sweet, and took really great care of our kitties and especially at late notice! We’re really glad to work with her and will be using her again soon! Thank you Jessica!! 🩷”


“Amanda did a great job stopping by to let our two pups out while we were out of town. We had almost no cell service where we were, but Amanda provides the peace of mind that our dogs will be well cared for while we are gone!”


About: All four of us are dog lovers and just recently had to put our 15 year old black lab, Gunder, down. It was very hard for us, but he is pain free and in a better place! We have a large (.5 acre) yard that is fenced and ready for more doggy fun!! We look forward to having a new best friend for a while and promise to give our full attention to your pup!! I currently work evenings and my wife works days! Our two daughters are very responsible and love all animals! If we are unavailable we will let you know immediately! We have a fully fenced half acre yard and can accommodate any breed or size of dog!! We are willing to follow any specific schedule for your loved one - diet, walks, play time, rest time, etc.!!

About: I grew up with 2 dogs and a cat. I now have 2 cats and regularly care for my medical school classmate’s dog when she’s out of town. I am currently working a part time job with flexible hours and have availability in the late afternoon and evening most days to care for pets! I am happy to walk or care for the pets in your home according to your instructions! Care will be limited to walks and client’s home.


About: I have worked for two zoos, 2 emergency clinics and hospitals that focused on cat, dog and exotics from rabbits, guinea pigs, snakes, geckos, tarantulas, ferrets, beardies, chinchillas, fennecs, prairie dogs, birds, axolotls, ect. I have training in senior cat and dog care and animal behavior training as well as vaccine and injection experience. I graduated from Joliet Junior College as a Veterinary Technician and I have petsat many dogs, cats, herps and small mammals. I'm strict with lists and rules and I love playing and giving treats. All animals are my friends including your tarantula! I love working with animals and I love working with pet parents. I have a large reference sheet with people who swear by me and know that their furry (or scalie) family member is in caring, professional, loving hands. If you're looking for a trusted, well rounded, experienced vet tech, then I'm your sitter!! If you don't like leaving your baby home alone, ask me about boarding!! I board ***most*** exotics and cats! (I don't board dogs, birds, aquatics, or larger exotics, please ask me for details) I will talk to you first to make sure my schedule fits into your animals' needs. If my schedule does not match your pets' needs, then I will kindly decline your offer as your pets' needs come before me. I want to see you matched with the best sitter you can find. I will sit for your furry (or scalie) baby at your own home, so your rules are law! If your doggy needs to be crated, I will do that! If your kitty needs insulin shots, I have experience in that! Does your baby need 500 mLs of fluid? You're in the right hands! Does your flowers need to be watered? Tell me what a hydrangea looks like and I will water it!!

Enzo has some health issues and some reactivity with certain dogs and Anya does an amazing job with him. She knows how to use positive reinforcement and keep Enzo out of stressful situations on walks. When she has stayed overnight at our house to watch Enzo, we always come home to a clean house and the happiest healthiest dog! She is truly the best dog sitter and walker!!”
