She is so sweet and kept me informed on how my crazy little boy was doing while I was at work! I will definitely book her again!”

About: Animals have always been at the center of my life. I grew up on a farm, caring for dogs, cats, goats, sheep, and chickens, so reading animal behavior, staying calm under pressure and knowing when somethings off comes naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve trained my own dogs, worked with rescue animals, and volunteered with KARE, where I help rehabilitate, both wild and domestic animals. That experience has taught me how to handle pets of all temperament and backgrounds, including those who were shy, anxious, or still learning the ropes. I personally cared for dogs, cats, ferrets, chinchillas, sugar, gliders, hedgehogs, snakes, fish, turtles, parrots, and a wide variety of reptiles, so chances are, I’ve worked with a pet like yours before! I bring patience and consistency to every interaction, whether it’s a quick drop in or a longer house sit. What sets me apart is that I don’t just love animals, I understand them. Your pet isn’t just a booking to me, they’re a living creature who deserves calm, attentive care from someone who genuinely knows what they’re doing. i’m generally available weekday mornings, weekday evenings, and weekends. My schedule varies week to week, so I keep my calendar updated in real time. If you don’t see any availability that works, feel free to reach out as my schedule sometimes opens up with short notice! when I’m in your home, my priority is keeping your pet safe and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow your KARE instructions closely, do a quick safety check on arrival, and reach out immediately if anything seems off. You’ll get photo updates every visit so you can see your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Always a pleasure to work with! She takes such good care of my boy and I appreciate her being so communicative throughout her stay with him :)”

About: I have had various cats and dogs over the years, including dogs I have owned for 8 years and a cat. Both my dogs are old and I’m familiar with caring for old dogs, and one takes medication twice a day and is disabled, so I am comfortable with taking care of disabled pets. Also comfortable for taking care of multiple animals in one home is needed, and I have previous experience in this. I currently do not have a day job, and will therefore have lots of time to dedicate to animal care! I am happy to be as involved and present as needed to make you and your pet feel comfortable. I will care for your pet in your home by being very mindful of them, their favorite spots, and where to find the necessities for my stay there. I will make sure that even though your pet misses you, we will have as much fun as possible in the meantime!

About: I have been pet sitting for several years ever since I was around the age of 13. Additionally, I work at Anderson Humane in South Elgin as a kennel tech and have been working there since August! I have worked with many different animals as a Kennel Tech, I also have experience with administering medicine and I am Fear Free certified. My animal experience is very important to me as I plan on majoring in animal science on the pre-vet track this upcoming fall when I head off to college! :) I work part time but I have plenty of time to care for your pets otherwise. My availability is open most of the time so just let me know when I’m needed and I should be able to accommodate! I look forward to meeting your pets! I am experienced in ensuring your animal stays comfortable and happy even if they may get nervous meeting someone new for example... I have lots of experience working with shy and reactive dogs and am comfortable with all temperaments because I can handle them well! I know how important your pets are so I am well prepared for anything!

About: I grew up around a variety of animals my whole life and I have been caring for others pets since I was 13 years old. I have always loved animals and treat everyone's pets as if they were my own. My senior year of high school I created my senior project around therapy dogs and helping special needs children. I trained my own dog to be a certified therapy dog through the organization known as Pet Partners. The remainder of the project was visiting with special needs children and doing educational activities. We also visited libraries and young children with developing their reading skills. I recently graduated from Purdue University with an Animal Science degree which has allowed me to gain even more knowledge on how to care for people's pets. I also have knowledge of animal CPR and first aid for cats and dogs. I'm looking forward to being apart of this pet care community and providing excellent care to all the pets I encounter.

About: Ever since I was little, I’ve always been surrounded by furry friends. I value the tranquility, love, & affection that animals bring. I love every animal; big or small, energetic or calm, you name it! I will take care of your pup the same way I would my own. I am currently working part-time at Enigma 5PM-10PM (Friday & Saturday nights). I also have class midday Monday-Thursday and Tuesday nights. Other than that, I have all the time in the world for your furry friends! I will go above and beyond what is asked. It’s not only walking, feeding, and watching over your pet, but also making sure they’re apart of a schedule, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

“Lizzie was great and accommodating! She was able to do a few house visits during the holidays, which can be very hard to find. My dog also gives up on all training when it’s cold outside but she made it work and provided thorough updates. I would definitely book her again.”

“Goka has been an amazing caretaker for our dog Pochacco. She is very attentive, kind, and communicative when walking our dog and keeping us updated on how he’s doing :) highly recommend.”

About: I’ve had Dogs since I was little. I currently have 2 German Short Haired Pointers which is a very high energy breed dog. With that being said I’m comfortable and able to care for small to big dogs including high energy fur babies🐾 I’ve also been a Nanny for 4 years and care for toddlers so i’m ready for anything! I’m currently working part time as a nanny while attending ECC for Nursing. This allows me to have a flexible schedule to care for your pet(s)! Having owned dogs my whole life i’m comfortable with any care your pet may need. For example, giving dogs medication as my own dog is very stubborn about it.

About: I’ve had two dogs for 9 years, and I am their primary caretaker! My older dog is easy, so I know how to have fun with calm pets, but my younger is quite the handful, so I can handle for and care for with love for any type of pet! I’m available all the time! Whenever you need me, I’ll be there. I have quite a free schedule, so feel free to reach out and you’ll be sure to find reliable pet care with me! I have two harnesses leashes, perfect for keeping the pet safe and keeping them under control. I have experience with pets misbehaving and know exactly how to safely and lovingly help them. I also have a wide variety of treats on hand, ready to give to your pets to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible!

“Kassandra is marvelous! She's friendly, kind, and very reliable. My dogs adore her! She's been a great help while I've been recovering from surgery; her dog walking has made Birdie and Gracie so much happier and calmer. I would use her services again in a minute!”

“With our schedules constantly changing, we needed someone to check-in and walk our dog during the work week. We have a strong 60 lbs. German Shorthaired Pointer with lots of energy and Jenny has been extremely helpful, flexible, and caring toward our pet. She is very responsive, sends updates and pictures from visit. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with Jenny’s dog services!”
