“Brittany took care of my 2 senior dogs while we were away for 3 days. One of our dogs requires meds 3 times a day, and she is an over reactive dog. Brittany handled a situation with another dog that was off leash very effectively! My dog does not like other dogs, and she picked up my dog to avoid a potentially dangerous situation. Overall she took very good care of their needs, even walking them a couple times a day when she could have just let them in the fenced yard. I would definitely recommend Brittany to watch over your pets and give them the best of care.”


“I highly recommend Josh to stay with your pet! He stayed with my dog Diesel over this past weekend at my house. When I returned home Diesel was very happy and my home was in perfect shape. While I was away Josh sent several pictures of them taking walks together and playing together. They had lots of fun and Josh really focused on Diesel. I will definitely book him again when I need to be out of town.”


“Gwen was absolutely wonderful with Chevy! She followed all instructions to a T, sent us tons of sweet updates and photos, and left our home spotless. Chevy was clearly happy and well cared for—we could tell he felt totally at ease. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave him and would welcome her back anytime!”


About: I’m a grandma with three little kitties. I have two children. A 24 year old and a 18 year old. I’ve had pets my whole life. Cats, dogs and caged animals. 😊 love taking dogs for walks. There’s a trail near my house to walk in. Brings such joy to my life. I’ve always had pets as long as I can remember and since I live in an apartment this is the next best thing. I’d love to bring some joy to your pets life. Walking, visiting, and most importantly loving your pets the way you do when your not around. I’m currently unemployed working on getting certified to run a daycare at my house so I have lots of time to spend with your fur babies. I have a fenced in yard and three friendly kitties to keep your pup or kitties company. I also love going for walks. I can also crate if needed.

“Diamond is amazing. We left our 6 Mos puppy and our older pup at home. We were worried about the puppy but Diamond was so attentive. I received many pictures and loved them. I will use Diamond again. It's a great relief to know your puppies are well taken care of if you need to travel”


“Ariana has been my go to sitter! She is so good with my Lucy and she loves her. Very dependable! She also has helped me out with a few small projects around the house while I’m away. Highly recommend!”


“Tabitha was amazing with my old man Duke. She was able to handle his crazy mamas instructions, sent pics, videos and updates- and the house was just as good as when I left!! Not to mention the peace of mind with her being a vet tech- it really allowed me to relax and not worry while I was away! Thank you Tabitha!”


About: I am a firm believer that our pets are our family, and each individual pet deserves individual care, respect and love! I am meticulous with details and ensure that a beloved pet’s routine is kept as consistent as possible under my care. I’ve owned cats since I was 8yrs old, and also had hermit crabs, Leopard geckos, and tarantulas. My family never had space for a dog, so I walked and played with my neighbors dogs while growing up. Once I reached my 20s, I’ve volunteered for years at no-kill shelters back in TN, trained on how to clean, socialize and care for dogs. I have just moved to Northern Illinois and wasn’t able to transfer my job up here. So I want to make my job caring for your family! I am available Saturday - Wednesday. I am very detail oriented and respect every pet owner’s instructions and wishes to the letter. Pets deserve consistency with their established routines! In the absence of instructions or an emergency, I have years of hands-on pet care to fall back on and use reliable judgement so your pet will always receive the best care possible.

“I truly cannot say enough good things about Karie and the attention and care she gave our furbabies. I have never been comfortable leaving our dogs with anyone (they can be a handful) I had daily updates with pictures and knew our dogs were being carried for. I never worried about them during the 6 days we were gone. I would highly, highly recommend Karie to anyone!”


“Sarah is amazing! From the first time I met her I knew my pets were in good hands. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing that my pup & cat would be happy and safe. She's already booked for our next vacation!!”


“Isabella was an amazing house sitter. She was very conscientious and can tell she definitely loved on my two dogs. In addition to going above and beyond with the pups, she left my apartment better than when I left. I would recommend her to anyone, she was truly great and I will be using her again!”


“Sydney was a huge help for my family as we needed a sitter for Easter weekend. She visited my girls multiple times and ensured that they were fed. She made sure that they got plenty of time to play and eat treats and provided clear communication to us. I would like to note that I would have appreciated if she wiped the paws of the pups after coming from outside due to the odor. When we came home after the weekend there was a noticeable stench from this. Other than that great job Sydney. Thank you very much.”


About: I understand the importance of being a trusted, punctual, loving caregiver. Pets are family, and you want the best for your family. I have many years of pet care & pet sitting. I am entrusted with the care of sick cats and dogs, administering medicines and assisting the owner with vet visits. I've been taking care of Buster, a lab, for 10 years. He goes camping with us and is a loving part of my family. My own cat Charlie who passed at 17 in 2024 was a super senior who I cared for 24/7 until his passing. Please know your pets will be safe and spoiled with love. Being retired (but still young and active..lol). I have an abundance of time and love for animals, and the flexibility to fit seamlessly into your schedule. Being mindful of the fact that I am in someone's home, the home and pet(s) will be treated with respect and lots of love while following the client's instructions for care, and providing the client with updates.

About: Hi! While your gone away you can be sure your dog will get the love and care of a full family, we are up at 7am for a health breakfast and by 9 we’re out to hike a 1.5 mile trail full of wild life and beautiful views for your pup to see and experience. By 11 we’re back home for a bit of rest before lunch. Then comes nap time! The long walk usually tires the doggies out. After a few hrs they are up again for more playtime, usually hands on with the family, games like tug and fetch. This leads us to dinner around 6 and a bit more attention before our 8:30 bed time. Every day your pup is with us is an adventure they will be sure to enjoy just as much as the vacation your taking! My wife works from home and I walk dogs and manage the boarding 24/7. It’s always been a dream job if mine to be able to spend all day taking care of dogs and now I’m finally living that dream! I have a huge fenced in yard but the dogs will only be out there to use the bathroom. Maybe later in the day for some fetch but mostly the dogs will be inside with us. Also our morning walk is about 1-2 hrs long and that take a lot out of the dogs leaving them easy to manage most of the rest of the day.

She was communicative, responsible and very loving to my fur babies. She went above and beyond for a couple things which made my life much easier. It’s great to knowing I have reliable support for home and pet care!”


Ellie A.

“Ellie was great with our big high energy dog! Loved the communication and the pictures! We will definite ask her to stay with our dog again!”


Nicholaus G.
“Hiring Nick was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my dog—and for my peace of mind. From day one, Nick showed an incredible level of professionalism, kindness, and genuine care for my pup. He didn’t just walk my dog, he connected with him, learned his quirks, and made every outing an adventure. He is always on time, communicates clearly, and sends updates and photos that always put a smile on my face. He’s gone above and beyond more than once such as staying a little extra when my dog seemed anxious, or bringing in a package when I was out. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like family, who is dependable, trustworthy, and truly loves what he does, you don’t need to look any further. Nick is hands-down the best dog walker I’ve ever had.”
