“J is awesome!! He quickly bonded with my pups and treated them like they were his family. They love their walks and play time and are excited when he comes to my home. My pups fell in love with him and it's always nice that he takes pics and updates us on how the dogs were doing at each visit. We knew that we found our forever pet sitter!!”

About: I had a big white American bulldog with brown spots named Max when I was 7-18 years old.🤍 He was my Best friend and big part of my family. I remember him being very playful. He LOVED to play rough but never got aggressive! We’d wrestle, play box, and he’d slightly nibble/play bite very gently. Im aware they mean no harm because they usually sneeze letting you know they are playing! He did not need much training because he was such a sweet, smart, strong protector naturally given the proper space and love he needed by my family and I. Now I have a Rottweiler named Bruno! My family and I raised him since he was a puppy🖤 I’ve experienced and am very understanding that the puppy stages are much more laborious due to teething, growth spurts, and mood changes. After Bruno’s puppy stage he grew up to be very different from Max because not all pets are the same! Compared to active Max, Bruno likes long naps, rather be inside, doesn’t bark much, plays for short periods, likes to be pet a lot, spoiled with treats, occasionally walked by my mom and he’ll be a happy pooch for the day! I’ve also taken care of a tuxedo cat and blue nose pit bull when I lived with an ex boyfriend. My ex mentioned to me that his pitbull did not like to play/ know how and that his family only ever bathed him about 3 times in his life. It broke my heart but with enough time, love, patience and gain of trust I was able to get him to play again and let me bathe him! It’s important to understand what animals are comfortable with and their own traits. I learned that his pitbull was scared of the water pressure and had some anxiety. He would only calm down when I sat in the tub with him and although my clothes were soaked and covered in dog hair it was worth it and okay with me. His cat was very quite and low maintenance, she played for short periods usually preferred scraps than her toys, loved the laser and her tunnel, hid in usual hiding spots, and sun bathed a lot by the window. If anything I only found to clean her litter box multiple times and keep her feeding bowls clean. Im currently unemployed. Meantime I look for a part time job I will be very flexible on hours. I will be available to pet sit your fur baby anytime from 10:00am-9:00pm! I personally never used crates because they don’t have a lot of room, in case of emergency your dog will not be able to guard/protect if locked in a cage, and they cannot alert you when they need to use the washroom usually leading to peeing or defecating on themselves. Crates should be used to safely transport them places, for time outs/punishment training, or to temporarily keep distance NOT for long periods of time.

About: I've grown up with pets my entire life. Whether thats dogs, cats, hermit crabs, ferrets or fish; I've definitely experienced an interesting scale of pets.

I also do walks as well! I work full-time as a self employed Pianist, Music Producer and Audio Engineer. 99% of my work is spent on my laptop and on phone calls, so I am always available to attend to the needs of your pets.

I love to get daily exercise so setting in time to get exercise for pets is important to me. Toys for pets may also be provided too.

“Lauren was excellent. Took great care of my girls through some nasty weather during the Christmas holiday. She really put my mind at ease while I was out of town. Double thumbs up ? ?”

About: I truly believe I took amazing care of my dogs. I never yell and I don't abuse any animal. I treat them as my own and I make sure that their tail wags every time that they see me. I have watched dogs for my friends for a few hours and those were full of play time and supervision. I know the do's and dont's of animal care and I never made a mistake before. I know this is my calling and I plan to follow it. Daycare is only available on weekends but I hope to change that. I am learning to ba a dog trainer so don't be surprised if your buddy comes back with a new trick or two to show you.

“Trustworthy, showed up on time, and best of all my pets loved her right off the bat!”

About: Hi, My name is Jennifer. I am currently a first year veterinary student. I am looking always spend time with animals during my free time. I have plenty of past experience. Currently, I have a lovely and mighty 15 year old chihuahua and and hyperactive 1 yr old Shiba mix back in my hometown, Chicago. Here, I take care of my boyfriend’s dog, a gentle and high energy 5 year old pup who we believe is an American Terrier mix. I’ve had so much fun caring for and training all of them. They know how to do their business outside, give a high five/paw, handshake, sit and stay. In the past, I have volunteered as a dog walker and done animal care and medical internships with PAWS Chicago and The Humane Society. Additionally, I’ve walked dogs during my free time through an app. called Wag and I had so much fun. Unfortunately, it’s not available in Champaign. Prior to starting veterinary school, I worked full time as a veterinary assistant at an awesome private practice in Chicago. Everyday, I worked with clients and their dogs, cats, and even some birds! Overall, I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages and temperaments. I am also comfortable with administering medications if needed. Throughout my experience I have developed good husbandry and handling skills that can assure the health and happiness of your pets. I am very patient and willing to play with and teach your pet some tricks. In the future, I hope to become a small animal veterinarian to further care for your adorable furry friends! I’m currently a full time veterinary student . However, my schedule can be pretty flexible since our class times vary everyday. I am generally available on weekends. Once the summer break starts in May, I will be significantly more available during the week and on weekends. If you’re interested in my services feel free to reach out. It is always exciting meeting a new pet parent and their pets. I am happy to coordinate the best times to care for your furry friends! I am very cognizant of the importance of paying attention to your pets. So when I am pet sitting I make sure that the pet is comfortable, well fed, and having fun. If I ever notice anything abnormal, I reach out to the owner. I also like to meet with the client prior to the home visit to assure that the pet is comfortable with me and so the client can let me know of any pertinent information. Every animal is unique and has their own personality and likes and dislikes, having this information is crucial to me! It helps me assure that I keep the pet in a comfortable and secure environment . During the visit, I like to keep the owner updated and love to send them pictures of their pets. If I ever have any questions, I always reach out to the owner or make sure that I get clarification prior to visit. I also take notes after the initial meeting to make sure I have all pertinent information.
