Pet Sitting Big Dickinson Lake

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. Growing up with a dog by my side taught me how to understand, care for, and connect with them in a way that feels completely natural. Being around dogs isn't just something I do—it's something I've known my whole life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, learning their unique personalities, and making sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away. Every dog deserves care that feels like home, and that's exactly what I strive to provide. I currently work Monday-Friday (8am-5pm). I can take care of pets after 5pm and on the weekends. We can arrange timing if needed. Thank you! I have a very spacious loft downtown I can have them in. Also have space for kennels if needed. Lots of parks near by and sidewalks to walk them. I’m also willing to take care of them at the clients residents as well. Whatever is needed for the job at hand!

“Anna is very reliable and so kind. She is quick to respond and gives great updates. She also sends several pictures of my puppy during her visit, which is greatly appreciated. Anna is very trustworthy and treats my Birdie like her own dog!!”

About: I have several years of experience pet sitting dogs and cats for family friends, neighbors, and coworkers, and I also spent over a year working as a veterinary assistant. I have worked hands-on with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and energy levels. I'm comfortable caring for nervous or fearful pets, high-energy dogs, and animals that require extra patience or careful handling. I also have extensive experience administering medications and following detailed medical and care instructions. I now work as a wildlife researcher and have additional professional experience with animal handling, behavior, and husbandry across a wide variety of species. I'm comfortable reading behavior and adjusting my approach to the individual animal. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, senior, or just has a very particular routine, I'm happy to work with their needs and make sure they are comfortable and well cared for while you're away. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time with the pet in my care! While I do have daily obligations that may take me away for parts of the day, I have plenty of availability for walks, playtime, meals, and lots of attention throughout the day. I provide care in your pet’s home, where they can remain comfortable with their normal environment and routine. I’m happy to provide multiple walks per day, plenty of playtime and attention, and meals, snacks, and medications according to their regular schedule. I will always follow care instructions closely and adjust my approach to your pet’s individual needs and personality.

“Having Becky drop in was a game changer for our kitties. They were much happier when we returned home after having dedicated attention and playtime every day. She also took great care of our chickens! We will definitely be rebooting if we decide to go out of town again.”

About: I have had many years of animal care! I have been volunteering in animal shelters since I was 16 and have previously walked dogs in Chicago for a few months! Most recently, I was on a volunteer team that helped train rescued puppy litters. I am currently a dental student that does not have the time for a full time job, but will always make time for some furry friends! I live in a gated apartment community with grassy areas within. There are no other animals in my apartment. My area is very walkable and I would love to be able to do so with your pet!

“Amanda took care of Lanie and sent pictures to let me know that Lanie was happy and cared for. She also took on feeding some outdoor cats that have chosen my house as their base. Amanda was always timely in her visits and took time to secure a couple of package deliveries during my time away. I will likely contact her again when I need care for Lanie to see if she can accommodate my schedule. I appreciate her willingness to take on the extras. Thank you, Amanda.”

“Lakshmi is the absolute best! She went above and beyond to care for my cat and I cannot sing her praises enough. I will def try to rebook her next time I have someone look after my kitty.”

“Ashleigh was great to work with and she took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. She was flexible when I needed a couple extra drop in visits on short notice. So thankful!”

Amber R.

“Darcy saved us when our sitter cancelled days before we left for vacation. She took very good care of our cat and went above and beyond keeping us updated on everything. I would recommend her to anyone needing their pets cared for!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 10 years. My first baby was Kramer (cockapoo) and now I have a big boy named Koda (Golden Retriever). I love all pets, but specifically dogs. They are so loving, loyal, and kind, and I love to give that to them in return. I work as a professor at an university and usually done around 1pm each day, so I can let the babies out for their afternoon/evening potty breaks. I am also free for the summer due to school letting out, so I will have way more free time from May until the middle of August to give your baby attention any time of day. I have a fenced yard and a golden retriever for your baby to play with. Sometimes, I have my sister's dog to babysit so there will be another friend.

About: I’m a cat mom myself, so you can be sure that your babies will be in good hands when you’re away. Loved as if they were my own. As of right now, I have a free schedule so I’m able to work anytime of the day any day of the week if needed You can be sure that your dog will always be on a leash, your cat will never be let outside, and they will never ever be mistreated. Only loved.

About: I've had just about every pet! Reptiles, birds, small animals and cats and dogs. I've worked in the pet industry over 5 years in wholesale and retail. Dogs love me because I play with them at their game whether it's fetch or tug o war! I love meeting new animals and I will take care of your pet like it was my own. I am a courier so I have open availability. I have the ability to work wherever I am whenever I want to. This makes me flexible enough to meet any needs! No home services offered at this point bit I would be happy to come to your home to care for your pets needs while you cant be home.

About: I've had pets since I was ten years old. Eventually I take care of my friends' pets, feed them and play with them. I currently have a dog, a bearded dragon and a gecko. I adapt to the client's needs, I have flexibility and time available. I'm currently a housewife. My afternoons are busier than my mornings but I can make a space for the furry ones. I live in a small apartment, so I can't have the furry one with me but I can gladly go to your home or wherever the furry one is.

About: I owned dogs for 11 years now. I always had 3-4 dogs at a time, ranging from husky, German shepherd, Maltese, poodle and French bulldog. I am working part-time and trying to transition out of my current job and doing pet sitting full time, so I will dedicate all my time to pet care. I am an animal lover.

About: I have always loved animals of all kinds! I've sat for others, & it's always so fun to see their personalities and share sweet interactions! I'm currently available for pet sittings, walkings, and drop-in visits Monday through Sunday! I am flexible, so reach out if you’re interested and I’ll try my best to meet your needs! I have a dog that I've had for 5 years! No one can tell me I did not birth him! My goal would be to treat your baby as mine and pamper them as so. If your pet is in need of a bath, I am willing to do so upon request! Play time and snuggles are a must because how else would we become besties!

About: Hey I’m Hannah! My Experience - From the time I was born I was raised with animals.Throughout the years, I've owned 6 different dogs, 2 cats, 2 rabbits, 7 ducks, 12 chickens, 1 beta fish and 1 hamster. My Dog - I rescued a Yorkie from a puppy mill in July of 2018. I named her Franky and we've been inseperable since! My Approach - I prefer to use positive reinforcement and treats when training a dog to obey commands. I can give your pet all of the pets and cuddles but can also respect their space if they’re more independent. I am flexible with pet care, but would prefer to have at least three days notice to work around my schedule. I am able to do local services as well as services within the same state. If I must travel for overnight services, I would like at least a week notice. I do not currently offer daycare or sitting within my home, but I am available to come to you in the event that you book with me!
