About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I have experience with everything from playful puppies to seniors needing extra care and attention. I understand how important routines, patience, and love are when it comes to making pets feel safe and happy. Your pets will be treated like family in my care. I offer flexible boarding for pets who are comfortable hanging out at home during the day. I make sure everyone gets their energy out in the mornings, has a safe space while I’m at work, and then gets lots of love, potty breaks, and playtime in the evenings and on weekends. I treat every pet like family and make sure they’re safe and happy while you’re away. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or just a calm place to relax, I’ll make sure they’re cared for like one of my own.

Both of my dogs eagerly await Brandi's visits. She walks my puppy, gives treats to my senior chihuahua, and sends me a detailed summary along with great pictures. I love knowing my pets are safe and well taken care of with Brandi.

Dahlgren, IL, 62828

About: I have had dogs for most of my life and always loved all animals. I work remotely so I am almost always home with my own pets. I work night shifts from home, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I spend a lot of time with my own pets and there is never a dull moment, they keep me entertained Every animal I’ve ever had has had their own unique personality with unique needs. I currently have cats and big dogs, but before them I had a senior Yorkie with special needs. I will tailor my care to whatever will be best for your pet(s).

About: Even though I have had dogs and cats my whole life, I also have spent many volunteer hours within Animal Shelters around the country. I am not afraid of med time (pills and needles are not a problem), cleaning kennels and vomit, or walking the biggest dogs ... as long as I get some snuggle time! I am not a trained vet tech, so you will need to show me amounts if needles are needed. I currently work part time, day side, on weekends, as needed! (Whew thats a mouthful) Which means I have plenty of time for walks and check ins of your furry loved ones. I am known for bringing a notepad and a pen around with me, but that is so I make sure I get your and your pets routine down! I dont want to disrupt their day!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over a decade. I have fostered over 200 animals in my lifetime. I am known as the dog whisper in my old neighborhood. I feed, walk, bathe, and play with all animals and show them the love they deserve. I currently work Full-time Monday - Friday. However I always have time after work and on weekends to take care of your babies. Having 3 cats and 2 dogs of my own I understand the need of your babies being care for. I have a big backyard that is perfect for playing fetch and zoomed, I also have a fenced in area in my backyard that we let our non trained fur babies play in. I understand some friends enjoy their own home and the same services (such as baths, walks, playtime, and even feeding).
