I highly recommend Lex for anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog walker. She has walked my 3 dogs for a couple years and I couldn't be happier with her service. Lex is always on time, communicates well, and most importantly, my dogs love her!

Cora has been a reliable and wonderful dog walker for Winston. She is prompt, makes sure he has everything she needs and keeps me in the loop on his daily antics. Couldn’t ask for a better addition to our pack.

Michael is by far the best dog sitter I have ever met. He is amazing with my two Bernese Mountain Dogs. Michael treats my dogs the way I would, which says a lot as I am a certified dog trainer and have worked with dogs for over 20 years. Michael reads dogs behaviors accurately and responds well. It is also very clear that Michael cares for the dogs as if they were his own dogs. I trust Michael completely and would recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

About: I have worked in two animal care environments, one being a pet sitting/dog walking company, the other being a dog day care facility. I have supervised and cared for groups of dogs, as well as provided walks, play time, or fresh food/water. I also frequently used to watch my neighbors pups and home when they went out of town on vacations. I grew up with and helped take care of 2 cats and 2 dogs (a golden retriever mix and a german shepherd), as well as a few other critters like hamsters and hermit crabs, and I have currently have a cat of my own! *PLEASE READ before requesting booking!!!* I am in between jobs at the moment while using this app to help bring in some money in the mean time! I will update this as soon as I’m aware of my new schedule, so I am free for the time being, until further notice :) I definitely have a lot of experience going to different client homes and working with a variety of situations and breeds. I love to give everyone's fur babies some love and care, like giving them some head or belly scratches, some play time, time to run around outside if need be, or providing some fresh water and a friendly person for them to hang out with.

About: I am experienced in caring for many types of pets, including dogs, cats, some exotic pets, and most small animals! I have two cats myself and have always loved caring for animals. I’m going to school at NIU for Child Development. Although I am a full-time student, I am available daily before and after classes! I am available for drop in visits, house sitting, and possible boarding depending on the situation. I’m excited to hear from you :) I am available to watch animals in your home, and occasionally in my home. I live in an apartment and therefore can only accept small animals for boarding.

Jen does a wonderful job at caring for my dog on the days I’m at work for 12+ hours. She’s very responsive and always willing to help when she can. It’s a relief knowing my fur baby is well taken care of on the days Jen stops by. I will definitely be booking with her regularly!

Emily has been awesome with my dog Millie over the last year and a half. She is a family friend who offered to let out and watch Millie while I’m at work. Millie always gets so excited to see her and Emily always sends picture updates from my house when she’s there! So glad to have someone I can trust let her out and spend time with her when I’m not able to.

About: I have been doing drop-ins for friends and family for years. I have also spent a lot of time at my local shelter as I enjoy the company of animals. I have a senior dog at home so i’ve learned how to administer medications the best of my ability. I am very responsible and timely! I am currently a full time honors student at NIU. I have class a few days a week, but besides that i’m very open. My upcoming semester i’m only busy mondays and wednesdays in the early afternoon. I care for others’ pets in their home as if they are my own. I am very loving as all pets and appreciate them for the love they provide. Animals are extremely important to me, and my work will reflect that. If I were able I would have dozens of furry friends.

Karli is AMAZING with pet care and I would put my total trust in my cat's safety with her. It's funny - I think sometimes my cat likes her more than me...she's always so happy when Karli hangs out with her. She's a lover of all animals, and has experience with cats and dogs, but also farm animals (goats, horses, peacocks, llamas, chickens) due to her previous work experience working at a children's petting farm. That girl would put herself through anything to care for the animals around here. You're doing yourself a favor booking with her.

She is a very responsible person, attentive, punctual, very affectionate and loving with animals. And what better person to be with animals than her, who is a zootechnical veterinary doctor.

Miss Megan has known me and my family for a very long time. I am disabled with limited Mobility and for the most part homebound. I have three small dogs a Boston Terrier, a terrier mix, and a pug. When Megan comes the dogs get all excited we can't wait to see her because they know she will play with them and take them for a walk and get them outside. If it's true what they say about animals being a good judge of character then Megan must be great because my dog is my family think she's great!

About: Hello! My name is Melissa. I work part time at a Pet Resort and Hotel, so I have LOTS of experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I have three dogs of my own and one of our favorite things to do is go hiking through different forest preserves in the area. We’d be happy to bring your pup along. I love walking and playing with dogs, running and cuddling. I am very active and outgoing. I love spending my time outside no matter what kind of weather we’re having. I have worked with all types of dogs and have become familiar with different cues dogs give off depending on how they’re feeling. I use this to care for each individual dog in a different at that will make them feel comfortable and safe as well as myself. I am very flexible. I will care for your dog like they are my own. I will work with you to make sure your fur-child gets the very best care that suits your needs and theirs. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about me or my services. I work my job Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Others days I might have things going on, but I’m very flexible. I am used to waking up very early so mornings are not a problem. I can follow any instructions as requested to care for your fur-babies. I take into account my safety and theirs and would never put either of us in a dangerous situation. I would never let off lead during a walk, turn my back or be distracted. You can count on me to have their very best interest in mind.
