Hi, I’m Keith! I’ve been surrounded by animals of all sorts for most of my life. I’ve lived in lots of different environments, small towns and big cities, but almost always, I’ve had an animal companion with me (even when I had to sneak them in). Whether on farms or in city apartments, pets of one sort or another have always been a constant in my life. I have a B.A. from Eastern Illinois University, grew up in the South Suburbs, but have lived in the North Suburbs for over 20 years. After a career in Human Resources, I’ve decided to do something different, but still…familiar.  

For over 20 years, my wife and I have adopted a total of 8 dogs (all mini dachshunds, but I love big dogs too!) For a number of years, we had 3 cats (Mazey, Nikolai, and Annie) and 3 doxies, all peacefully coexisting under one roof. Most of the time we take a lot of joy in our senior dogs, and even lived with a ‘cart dog’ named Delilah. I’m an expert at changing diapers on dogs. We also had seizure dogs and others, who required special care and lots of meds. Our pets are our family. It’s been a fulfilling journey, sometimes difficult, sometimes tearful, but always worth it. Currently, we have Lucy (15), Artie (16), and Hunter (7). All dachshunds.

They have always been a blessing to us.  

I understand that each pet is unique and has its own special needs. Whether administering medications, following dietary restrictions, or simply having fun and providing playtime, I am committed to the safety and well being of your pets, as I am my own. With a love for animals in general and extensive experience with rescues and dogs with special needs, I am confident I can provide quality time with your pet.

Hi, I'm Mali. Growing up, my family had a cockapoo named Hershey who opened up my heart to the love of animals. Hershey could play fetch all day, be it inside with her plush toys or outside with a tennis ball! When Hershey was a year old, my mom started a small dog sitting buisiness out of her home. I helped out with the dogs when I could, gaining many furry friends along the years. My mom got a new puppy, Buddy, in 2019 who kept us well occupied while we were home in 2020. He loves to cuddle up next to us and get belly rubs!

When I moved to Wisconsin with a friend from college, I helped her raise her new puppy, Gurgi. He loved playing Gurgi-in-the-middle with us in the hallway! I spent a few months working at a doggy daycare while living in WI.

I now live in Vernon Hills with my husband, and we plan on adopting a dog when we can.

I love all animals, and I love how every pet has their own personality! I'm excited to get to know your best friends and have fun with them!

Hi! I'm Sandra. I have a deep passion for animals that started in my childhood with my dog named Reina, a Hamster named Conde, and some aquatic turtles which nurtured my love for pets. Currently, I care for my adopted dog "Zazu", who has been with me since he was 7 months old, he is a Beagle mix, very active, rowdy and  playful, with a great personality. I also adore cats, many family members have dogs and cats, we always joke saying that in the family there are more pets than humans.

I have a 22 years old son, I've lived in Venezuela and Colombia, and I love staying active, eating healthy, and practicing meditation. I enjoy being in nature and spending time with family and friends. I’m excited to provide loving and attentive care to your furry friends, ensuring they are happy and well-cared for while you're away.  

Hi my name is Delaney and I love taking care of animals. I have always had dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish. I have had animals my whole life and previously worked at a doggy daycare, caring for several dogs at a time, as well as administering medication and feeding 70 plus dogs a day.

I come from a big family and grew up with a schnauzer who lived to be 17 years old and several rabbits, one of which lived to be 14 years old.

I enjoy taking care of all things living and currently have a husky mix named Wilson with an extremely spunky attitude as well as two Oscar fish named Tom and Jerry that are about a foot in size each in a 75 gallon tank. I look forward to creating a special bond with new clients and furry friends and also getting to know your pets one on one.

Bea has always had a deep love for animals, growing up with both cats and dogs by her side. Now living in the city, she shares her home with a lively Bengal cat. While Bea runs a successful rental company, her true joy comes from spending time with animals. With years of experience, she’s dedicated to ensuring that every dog and cat she cares for receives the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Bea is excited to help your pets stay happy, healthy, and full of life!
