They successfully administered her asthma inhaler twice a day while I was out of the state. The communication and professionalism they both displayed was very much appreciated.

About: I have had the pleasure and joy of being able to take care of lots of different animals for over 10 years. I spent some time on a farm where taking care of sheep, pigs, chicken, ducks, and the barn cats and dogs was a daily thing. Later on, I was the proud mama of a german shepherd named Bruno who stole my heart in every way. Unfortunately he is now gone since November of 2023. Since then, my lifestyle has changed and I am not able to have another dog of my own due to long working hours four days out of the week. However I love taking care of pets, especially dogs, and this is the perfect way to still have a connection with these wonderful creatures, even if they are not my own :) I promise to take care of yours as if it was my own! They will be royally treated with me! My Fridays through Sundays are free from other work and I would love to be able to take care of your pets, especially your dogs! I have a spacious home where your pet can feel free to roam and rest. I also have many trails I can take them on walks. There is also a spacious park area where we can play around if that's what your dog prefers! If I am coming to your home, I am more than happy to walk them short or long distances, play with them, or tend to any other pet needs!

We’ve been using Doug as a pet sitter for a while now, and we highly recommend him. Doug is not only reliable but also genuinely enthusiastic about caring for our cats. We never have to worry about anything when they’re in his care. He ensures they get plenty of attention, including playtime and cuddles, which helps keep them happy while we’re away. Our cats require daily medication, and Doug handles this with ease, showing he’s comfortable with more complex care needs. I highly recommend his services to anyone—your pets will be in excellent hands, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing they’re well cared for.

About: I have cared for many dogs including my daughters working dogs when she’s out of town in the past few years. I am also quite experienced with elderly dogs that need extra special care and attention. Presently, I have a dog of my own that I always enjoy her company, but I have owned dogs in the last 16 years. I presently work full time on the weekday's , but I can be flexible with my schedule through out the week and available on the weekends. If I need to care for your pet at your home , I will follow your instructions thoroughly. I am very responsible and love pets.

About: I am a Special Education teacher who works at a Therapeutic School by day and an animal lover all day and night. I do not have kids but I have 3 cats and babysit my friends and families fur babies any chance I get. Pets have free range of my home, they can relax on the couch, chair and bed whenever they want. I have experience watching dogs from pups-elderly. I volunteer at a local animal rescue in Palatine and bring in therapy dogs to visit my classroom. I rescued and adopted a deaf kitty with one eye, and I've always had animals in my home. I am a non-smoker and vegan (vegans really do love animals). For any overnight/weekend stays, I will be home and available to play, go for lots of walks and hangout all weekend long with your fur baby. Regular walks, feedings, playtime and relaxation based on your dogs needs is my priority. I have three loving cats who will keep your dog company. I have a small backyard that is away from cars/traffic and a large front yard. I have a dog tie out and spiral stake for dogs that want to roam around my unfenced front and/or backyard. Playdates with neighboring dogs is always an option or solo, quiet time if they prefer. I can keep your pet on their walking/feeding/play/sleep schedule as you request.

About: I've spent my entire life around pets and animals and have pet sat for a lot of family and friends before. I always have loved spending time with animals and taking care of them. My family has raised a Lab, Goldendoodle, and a German Shepard, we are all pet lovers and are all very caring. I'm available all nights and weekends, on weekdays I have a flexible school schedule that allows me to be home multiple times per day. I am a senior about to graduate so I am taking a small amount of classes. I am very attentive to the pets I have cared for in the past, as well as my current pets. I keep to a schedule for feeding, walking, play time, and letting the pets out multiple times a day. This helps keep things organized and routine. I make sure all is well and keep communicating with their owners. Sending photos and videos to ensure your pet is having a good time.
