Pet Sitting Belvidere

“Amanda was an incredible help while I was away taking such great care of my cats! She went above and beyond, not only making sure they were well cared for but also leaving my home even cleaner than when she arrived. Her daily updates were so thoughtful and reassuring, giving me total peace of mind. Plus, she has such a great vibe—I feel like we’d get along so well in everyday life! Thank you so much, Amanda!”

About: Hi! I’ve spent the last year training a puppy and have come to love proving for and protecting furry babies! Can’t wait to meet yours! I work Monday-Wednesday and have my own pup at home, but I am available Thursday-Saturday as long as it’s not the whole day. I want to make sure both of our babies are taken care of! I frequently take out my own dog and regularly bathe him and walk him, I make sure he has plenty of brain toys and is both physically and mentally stimulated. I also provide lots of cuddles for the heart!

“Matthew did a fantastic job watching our cats. He gave them lots of love and care, and I think our cats like him more than us now. He also was very tidy in our home. I'll definitely seek out Matt's help again next time we need a cat sitter.”

I’m also happy to give medications when needed and keep an eye out for anything unusual with their health or behavior.

“Emily is great. I can tell she really cares for animals and my dog (and fish) would agree. She’s punctual and shared plenty of picture updates while we were away. I definitely recommend Emily for your pet sitting needs! 😃”

“Olivia was absolutely wonderful while we were away! She dropped in twice to let our dogs out, feed them, and make sure they were well cared for. She treated our home with so much respect and care, truly like it was her own. One of our favorite parts was all the beautiful pictures she took of the dogs while we were gone, it gave us so much peace of mind and made us smile seeing how happy and comfortable they were. You can really tell she genuinely cares about animals.”

“Sam is amazing!! She took great care of my very shy cat while I was away. She kept me updated with pictures and messages each day which gave me so much peace of mind. After just a few visit my cat who hides from everyone was coming out for treats from Sam. I can’t recommend Sam enough!”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who has been around pets my entire life. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I've been dog sitting for ten years. During that time, I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, administering medications when needed, overnight stays, and extended care for a week or longer while families are away. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're gone. Whether your dog needs an energetic walking buddy, a dependable sitter for a quick check-in, or someone to provide attentive care during a longer vacation, you can count on me. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently enrolled in an online graduate program, so I am available at any time you will need care for your pet, any day, night, week, or weekend! Initial Consultation: Before the pet owner leaves, I arrange a meeting to get acquainted with the dog and discuss their routine, dietary needs, medical history, and any specific instructions or concerns the owner might have. Establish Routine: Dogs thrive on routine, so I maintain consistency with feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest periods to ensure they feel secure and settled. Exercise and Play: Regular exercise is vital for a dog's physical and mental well-being. I schedule daily walks, engaging games, and interactive toys to keep them active and entertained. Nutritious Meals: Following the owner's guidelines, I provide balanced and timely meals, ensuring the dog receives proper nutrition. I also monitor their water intake to keep them hydrated. Safe Environment: I dog-proof the indoor and outdoor areas to prevent accidents or injuries. Hazardous items are kept out of reach, and I supervise the dog closely, especially if they're exploring new surroundings.

About: I have grown up on a farm where I have acquired most of my skills and knowledge of animals. At a very young age I started training and showing dogs in obedience, which soon led into me showing horses in jumping and dressage. I attended Meredith Manor International Equestrian Centre in West Virginia where I achieved many certifications. Now, 32, I still train and show dogs and also still stuck on those horses! Animals have become my backbone and without them, I think I would be lost, like many of us would be! Besides working my job and being a nursing student, I am always doing something with my dogs or horses. Be it training, having fun, or just going about our daily routine. Fitting in the time to care for others pets while they are away is easy for me as I have help on the farm to care for my pets! I will take care of the feeding, watering, cleaning up, play time, walks, etc. I am here to keep your pet as comfortable as possible while you are away. I can care for dogs, cats, birds, farm animals, exotics, etc. I'm that been there type of guy, but my knowledge, skills, and years of experience are here to help keep your pet safe! I am certified in CPR, Horse Health, Training (dog and horse), Teaching, Riding Master Level IV, and Safety.

About: Hi! I'm Lili! I've grown up surrounded by dogs and have always had a huge soft spot for them. I currently have an 8 year old pup of my own, who I absolutely cherish. Being a dog mom has taught me just how important it is to have someone you can truly trust to care for your fur baby. I know how hard it can be to leave your pup behind, whether you're heading to work, traveling, or simply need an extra hand. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I am happy to provide dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I will treat your loved one with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. During visits, I am more than happy to provide plenty of pets, playtime, walks, cuddle, meals, fresh water, and whatever routine your pup is used to. I also understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, so I will take the time to get to know what makes your pet comfortable and happy. Most importantly, I want you to have a piece of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hand. I'm currently working full-time Monday through Friday from 12:00pm - 8:30pm. I'm available for morning walks and drop-in visits before work, as well as limited evening availability after work depending on the location and your pet's needs. On the weekends, I am fully available and have much more flexibility for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to know that your pup is in caring and trustworthy hands. I will take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, needs and comfort level. I'll carefully follow your instructions regarding, feeding, medications, walks, allergies, and any other special care your pet may need. During walks and visits, I stay attentive to your pet and prioritize their safety at all times. I am also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have a peace of mind while you're away.

About: I have been around animals my whole life and currently have 1 cat of my own! I graduated college to be a vet tech and currently have been a full time vet tech for 5 years.

About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of pets, ages, and have even done a little training. My experience stems from running my own pet sitting business in the Northwoods of WI for 4 years. I am currently a student at NIU so I will be scheduling around my classes. Monday/Wednesday I have class usually 9am-4pm & Tuesday/Thursday from 1pm-4:30pm. I will take gigs after class at night but please keep in mind that I’m an active student & my schedule may change based on other commitments. I also go home to WI to see my family so please just communicate with me! School comes first so I am specifically looking for lower maintenance gigs so I can manage my academic workload. BONUS points if your pet loves snuggles. I only care for pets in my clients home simply because Im not allowed to take them to my apartment. I’m very communicative and always answer my phone :) if you need extra help with plant care or getting the mail I am at your aid!
