Finn looks forward to Danny coming and going for a walk. I have to be careful to not say Danny’s name until he is here, or I have an overly excited German Shepherd boy looking for him.

About: My parents close friends/family members and even some of my best friends have trusted me to watch overnight their pets such as dogs and cats,etc and along with boarding them at our house as the owners were out of town. I have lots of personal experience with my own pets, along with experience with dog watching and walking dogs outside my family dog. I grew up living with dogs and have always had a passion for animals and would love to be able to take care of peoples furry friends. I have a part time job currently so weekdays would be best since some shifts I get off in the afternoon so most evenings I’m free so if I know in advanced when people need me that would be great to work around my schedule. Some mornings I am also free. We have a big back yard but it does not have a fully fenced in yard due to our garage but it is safe and we have a leash to attach dogs too so they can be safe while also roaming in the yard. We also have a dog bed too. Not many toys because our dog is getting older but we can provide treats if needed and make sure they have everything they need. They will also have a furry companion which is our dog Bella. Whenever I watch a dog at someone else’s home I make sure to check and see what instructions they leave for me, make sure they are fed and let outside, and also make sure they are played with.

About: All cats deserve love. From cleaning their litter box daily to playing with their toys or feeding them on a consistent schedule, I try my hardest to ensure my cats or any cats I cat sit have all their needs taken care of. I'm currently working part-time throughout the week as well as having Sunday and Monday off. My work schedule is flexible which allows me to focus on pet care. I have a ton of cat toys and cat scratchers around my home as well as two cool cats who would love to play with any new friends. I am extremely adaptable to any requests you have to make sure your cat is as comfortable as they can be.

About: I have taken care of my family's dogs for years, from puppies to seniors! I deeply love all dogs and have always connected with them. I used to spend my weekends volunteering at the humane society! I currently have open availability, including evenings, nights, early mornings, daytime, and weekends! I would love to care for your adorable furbabies whenever you need! I get to know the pets' individual preferences, likes, and overall what they respond to. I ask owners about boundaries and get a sense of how I can make the pet comfy with my presence! I will try to do similar activities/routines that my client has established with their pet to keep the pets happy and calm!

About: Hi, I’m Cassie and I’m here to fill all of your pet care needs! As a pet owner myself, 2 cats and a GSD, I know how hard it is to leave your pets behind when you travel or are simply in a busy season. I struggle with it myself. When you are away, your pets deserve attention, playtime, cuddles, and a normal routine right in their own home, where they feel safest. As a Bloomington-Normal native, I grew up in the country with all sorts of pets. In addition to our family cats and dogs I also cared for chickens and horses. My mother was a science teacher and every summer we would bring home the animals from her classroom: birds, rabbits, hamsters, and a tarantula. I learned very young not all pets are created the same, and an individualized approach to care was not only respectful of the pet, but also required for their safety. I have cared for pets in all stages of life from puppy/kitten through terminal cancer support in senior years. I adhere to the essential laws of pet happiness: 1) Food must appear on time every day. 2) Walks must include maximum sniffing time and end with belly rubs. 3) Playtime is serious business. 4) Cuddles are required on any day ending in “Y” unless alone time is signaled for. In all seriousness, I provide dependable services designed to keep your pets, safe, happy, and engaged while also providing you with peace of mind that your furry children are well cared for while you are away. While visiting your home, I am respectful of your property, your provided guidelines, and the trust you have placed in me to care for your pet. I have schedule flexibility and can work with your household schedule for walking, sitting, or drop in care. Requested information about your pet PRIOR TO ACCEPTING a booking: Please let me know the breed, age, living status (indoor vs outdoor pet), and medical needs of your pet. In addition, I would like to know if your pet has a history of reactivity or aggression to any of the following: food, toys, other animals, weather, etc.. I will request a meet and greet prior to providing services to ensure I am a good fit for you and your furry child. I currently work from home, and have schedule flexibility to work around your household schedule for pet care. Drop in care and walking services can be provided daily. In-home care may also be provided daily, depending on scheduling and the ability for me to work from your location. I have a privacy fenced in yard making potty time easy and stress free. My home is not on a main street, making it a quiet environment for your pet. I also have one playful dog who can keep your pup company. I have crates of all sizes, and can easily crate your dog if crate training is what you practice at home. I have extra leashes for walks and plenty of toys to go around. Since I work from home, your pet will be with me a majority of the day. They will have maximum 4 hours a day alone while with me. Feeding and medication schedules will be adhered too. I have extra bowls and slow feeders for use as well.

About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was a baby and grew up visiting my grandpa’s farm in the country! My family also had cats, and I had four fish growing up! I love taking care of my family’s dog whether it be walking, exploring, or just cuddling and petting! I have had experience with all types of pets, from super energetic to ones that would sit on the couch all day long if they could! I have experience staying overnight for multiple days if needed with your pets, or dropping in a couple times a day as needed! I also love taking walks!
