Dog Sitting Algonquin

About: I've had pets all through late childhood and into adulthood. I currently live in an apartment that makes owning pets difficult, but I love nothing more than to snuggle up on the couch with a fluffy friend and a book. I've been able to get my "puppy fix" by petsitting for friends and family. I'm the one they call when they'll be out of town or working late to take care of their fluffy family member. I'm looking for more dogs and cats to add to my life long friend list. I currently work full time, 1 evening a week. I don't have any pets of my own to take care of, so i'm pretty flexible when it comes to taking care of others' pets. I love taking dogs for walks or hikes. I'm available to come and visit a pet to give companionship, meals, potty breaks, etc. I have experience with puppies as well as senior pets.

About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by puppies, kittens, and all kinds of animals. I was there when my first dog gave birth and helped raise the puppies, learning how to train them along the way. This past year, I’ve cared for my senior dog when she had trouble walking and caregiving. I’ve also had the pleasure of walking and caring for dogs of all sizes for several families. With my lifelong experience with dogs and cats, I know exactly how to make sure your pet gets the best care! I currently have two dogs of my own and absolutely love spending time with them!! They are my babies I am available for pet care during the evenings and early mornings, and I’m also available on weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) for dog walks or weekend dog sitting. I take care of pets in a cozy, safe space. I make sure they get their walks, playtime, and plenty of love. I stick to their feeding schedule and keep things clean—making sure they have their favorite toys around and giving them the love and attention that they need! When I’m at your place, I follow your pet’s routine to keep things as normal as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I’ll also make sure the place stays clean and tidy, and your pet gets all the attention they need while you’re away!

About: I have owned dogs myself in the past and understand the responsibility that they are. I am also a dog lover myself and enjoy having dogs around. I am home during the week so your dog can enjoy a calm, relaxed day. Your pup will get love, attention, and a comfortable place to stay while you’re away! I’ll take your dog on walks, make sure they’re fed, and handle potty breaks in the mornings and evenings so they can relax and enjoy a calm day at home.

About: My motto is: "I wouldn't trust my pet with just anyone, why should YOU?! I TREAT EVERY PET AS IF IT WERE MY OWN!" I'm a pet care specialist with 40+ years experience. One of my first jobs was as a Veterinary Assistant. Since that time I've worked at various animal hospitals, kennels, grooming salons & dog walking/pet sitting companies. Over the past the 40 years, I've worked in nearly every aspect of the pet care field. In 1994 I started my own pet care service in Chicago, offering petsitting/feedings/dog walking for clients who were stuck at work or going on vacation. After relocating in 2008, I began offering my services in the northwestern suburban area & added in-home basic grooming such as nail trims, ear cleaning, etc. Available by appt. Days, evenings, overnights, weekends, holidays, etc. I currently work part-time at a grooming salon & have open availability (but please still try to book in advance!) Various online payments accepted including Zelle & Cash App as well as cash & personal checks. Feel free to be as specific & detailed as you'd like when it comes to how you prefer your pet is cared for! I welcome any notes regarding feedings/diet, treats, etc. My goal is always to provide top quality pet care that DOESN'T break the bank & become great friends with your fur baby!

About: As a firefighter, my entire career is built on safety, reliability, and handling high-stress situations with a calm, focused mind. I bring that exact same dedication to pet care. Whether your dog needs a high-energy workout, your cat prefers a quiet companion, or your pet requires strict medication schedules, you can rest easy knowing they are in highly capable hands. I have experience with our furry friends ranging from puppies with enough energy to power our houses to our senior dogs that need very specific special care instructions throughout the day. Whatever is needed to be provided throughout the day to your family, it will be delivered as if they were my own. Due to my firefighter shift schedule I typically have entire, unbroken days where I am 100% available to dedicate my time and energy to your furry family members. When not on shift there is nothing more I look forward to then spending time with animals. My profession requires a clean background, absolute integrity, and a high level of public trust. You can feel completely secure letting me into your home to care for your furry family members. I treat every member as if they were my own family, ensuring they get plenty of affection, exercise, and routine care no matter how meticulous. Being a professionally trained emergency responder any unexpected situation that arises you can have confidence will be handled in a calm and efficient manner.

I have also fostered dogs and volunteered at my local rescue organization. I currently work part-time it would be available in the afternoon and evening hours and weekends. I am comfortable walking in all weather too! Happy to also snuggle and provide comfort to anxious and skittish pets too. I am very diligent to make sure all pets have what they need. For example, making sure they have fresh water, clean paws for your home and a good walk is the priority! Having been a Rover client myself; I value clear and meaningful communication with the owners too to make sure everyone is comfortable and feels safe.

About: I had a medium-sized dog for more than 10 years, I am passionate about animals and I really miss my life as a dog mom, I see in this app the opportunity to take care of her sharing with dogs I'm a housewife and I have a lot of free time, so I can be available several hours a day to care dogs and walk The care depends on the personality, age and size of the dog, if it is very active or if it is very old, care must be adapted to its conditions

About: I've cared for pets my whole life. I've kept aquariums, grew up with dogs, even raised two puppies in my time. Unfortunately I am allergic to cats and do not want to track dandruff home, so I will not be offering services for cats aside from drop ins. I'm a dad trying to be more active, make friends, and provide a service to the community. I love pets and I think they are an absolute blessing. For my fee I will actively exercise and play with your pets, teach them tricks or commands (if desired), and ensure they are pampered, engaged with, and given attention, rather than simply supervision. I'm currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule, so I can accommodate most requests. I would be happy to look after your family pet, no matter the occasion! How I care for your pet is entirely up to you, I will accommodate whichever preferences you may have. Every pet deserves to be played with, get exercise, and be well pampered. Rubs downs, brushing, bathing, I'm comfortable caring for your pet how you know best.

About: I’ve taken care of different kinds of dogs since I was 10 years old. I trained both of the dogs I was gifted (Labrador/Boxer mix & Pitbull) as well as grooming them. They both mean very much to me and now that they are older and I no longer live in my old house it would be my pleasure to give care to someone else’s pet! I’m currently working part time so the vast majority of the week I’m available and own my own reliable source of transportation. Extremely flexible with my schedule and times. Very good at playing with dogs and other types of animals as well. Will do anything your dog likes and make sure they enjoy having me around!

“Delaney was great from start to finish! We were able to coordinate a meet & greet prior to the requested booking dates to ensure both parties got along well. My cat was well taken care of - and Delaney even helped out with the mail and weekly garbage/recycling pick up. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone needing their cat cared for while they’re away.”

About: I've been watching dogs for family and family friends for 15 years now, before I could drive myself. I've watched many dogs with special raw Diets, and dogs that have needed insulin shots. I have never encountered a scenario I couldn't handle. I'm working full-time, but have great hours, and would spend most of my time with the animals. I'm around and available all weekends. My wife and I spend most of our time home on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs of my own. All of which are really friendly. We often have family member's pets over to visit. I also stay at others homes, as that is normally where animals are most familiar and feel the most safe!

“Kaileigh was so great to my pups! I was happy to find someone that lived near me. She treated my pups as her own. She kept in contact with me and sent my photo updates, I loved that! I would highly recommend her to watch your furbabies.”

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I understand that pets are family. I am committed to providing safe, attentive, and loving care so that pet owners can have peace of mind while they are away. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and ability to build trust with pets of all ages and personalities. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy who needs consistency and positive reinforcement, an adult dog who enjoys walks and playtime, or a senior pet who requires extra attention and gentle care, I will tailor my approach to meet their unique needs. I pride myself on maintaining routines, providing plenty of exercise and affection, and keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages. My goal is to ensure every pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved while in my care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I have a flexible schedule and provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. This flexibility enables me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and last-minute requests. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets in my care. I have a friendly beagle, a fully fenced yard for supervised play and exercise, and accommodations to help pets feel at home. Whether in my home or a client's home, I follow each pet's routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they are away.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs in the household. While my mom was away at work, my sister and I would be in charge of taking care of the animals. When I was younger, my neighbors and boyfriend’s family would intrust in me to take care of their dogs and take them for walks. I have a full-time job Monday-Thursday. I am flexible enough to alternate Fridays and Saturdays every week. Although they are already set in the schedule. Depending on the day I am not working, I am free all day (Friday-Sunday). I can give more details on my work schedule as needed. Depending on the client's house and their rules, I respect the clients guidelines and the requirements they expect. From previous walks/ in home stay/ feedings, I always communicated and client put their trust in me. If there was any concern or question, I respond very quick to ensure they can rely on an answer.

About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and have been walking/sitting since high school. I have walked dogs of all sizes and even those that are reactive. I recently moved to Milwaukee from Chicago so I am used to walking dogs in busy cities! I am currently unemployed so I am fully available to help out with your pups! I also have a car here so distance to you is not a problem! My #1 priority is your pups and my safety on our walks. I will never put us in a situation that could go bad. I will also prioritize having your pup trust me on our walks so everything goes smoothly, so if possible meeting your dog prior to our first walk if I have to grab them when you aren't home.
