“Cassidy is great! Easy to coordinate with and reliable. My cat is a bit shy and it takes some time for him to warm up to people but she was so patient with him and always tried to win him over! Highly recommend.”

About: I have taken care of many dogs (house sitting or not) by friends, family and neighbors for many years now. I can walk, play with, and feed pets of any age, and most importantly, show them love with their owner away! Currently, I am home from school for the summer and have plenty of free time! I have a part time job but I only work it a few times per week! I will take care of your dog in the ways that you want me to. I will respect your space and try not to break the habits you have already established with you dog.

“Layla is the best!!!! Dakota is a nervous girl to strangers and Layla is taking her time to let Dakota get use to her. I highly recommend Layla she is awesome with dogs”

About: I currently work at a dog daycare, and spend all of my time caring about dogs and trying to make them happy. I really like to learn dog’s personalities and make my time spent with them, something that they’ll enjoy. I also have two dogs of my own, and spend a lot of time walking them. I’m willing to do anything to keep your pup safe. Dogs are such sweet babies, and deserve to feel happy and safe, so when you are away Im willing to be that for your pup. I will even work on training commands, if that’s something that’s already been being worked on at home. I can’t wait to meet your dogs and help you all stay happy!! Im currently working full time. I’m free all day a few days out of the week and during the early afternoon and after on days I work! Im willing to stop in any time that I’m free before or after work & days I have off. I have a lot of experience caring for animals in a safe manner for both the animals and myself. I’m very comfortable around dogs and cats, and can handle them in a safe manner for everyone!

About: I’ve grown up in a house with 2 cats and 2 dogs my whole life and often house sit for my friends dogs. I’m used to big dogs and also high energy dogs being that I have one of each. I am mostly free during the week as being and only online college student where I work a part time job of only 2-3 days a week at most with it being pretty flexible I have a fenced in back yard with 4 friendly dogs that all love to play. Love talking the dogs out for walks and what not. I take my two everywhere I can with me.

About: For as long as I can remember I have taken care of, rescued, and cared for animals. Through out my life I have over all had 18 animals in my house hold (at one point in time 8 cats all under the same roof) and I have often helped taken care of animals of family and friends. I have checked in on dogs for noon outside time and potty breaks as well as stayed at a home for as long as a month to take care of a cat. I have experience with pets in all stages of life and in handling animals with different temperaments. I have also given animals medications (from diabetic shots to thyroid pills to special prescription food) and I am very active in taking care of them. Currently I have one dog and three cats that I share with my partner, all of whom I have taken care of from early on in their lives. I am currently in between jobs so most days and times I am available. I do share a car but we always work together to figure out who can use the car when. Just let me know what you need and when and I will work with you to figure out a schedule that works for both of us. I am very respectful of other's homes, making sure things are clean and nothing is messed up. Whether your fur baby tore up a rug or I accidentally broke something, there will be full transparency on what happened while you're away. I can send daily text check ins and don't mind being called daily to ensure everything is alright, your animals are family and I will treat them as such. Any house rules or animal schedules you have set I will abide by. I will give your animal full attention and do what I can to give them what they need.

“Riley did an amazing job checking in on our pup Charlie. She came over and met us ahead of time, sent us updates and pictures, and was very flexible. It really put our mind at ease to know Charlie was well taken care of. We plan on using her again in the future!”

About: I’ve been taking care of big and small dogs since I was 16. I’ve always made sure to make them as comfortable with me as possible. I have a very flexible schedule so I am always available to stop by or be at the house if needed. I always have time on my hands to take care of your fur baby. I have a gated yard that has lots of space for your fur babies to roam around free. I have a cage if needed at any time and I’m always attentive to the pets, especially around other pets.

About: I’ve helped raise 2 of my family’s dogs and now am raising a very well behaved puppy of my own. I am very responsible in all facets of my life and will properly tend to your dog’s needs. I am starting a remote job from Dyer, IN in July and would love to incorporate taking care of dogs into that flexible schedule of mine! Given my virtual workload, I am able to dedicate a large amount of time towards my Bentley and your dog. They will be given water/food, taken outside on walks, and anything else that’s needed :)

About: We have always had pets growing up. Both cats and dogs. I've had a pit bull in my early teens and had also adopted a 10yr old senior dog. I have experience giving my senior medicine and being extra gentle when it is needed. I currently have a reactive German Shepherd so if you're looking for someone to watch your big dog that pulls a lot, I have tons of experience and am strong enough to hold him or her. Basically I have had experience with animals in different stages of their life. Im still learning as Odin has training classes and I use what I learn to help with other pets. I've watched pets for friends and family in the past and have done drop in visits for years now. I am able to travel further distances if you aren't able to find someone local just send a message. I do work full-time so I can come before or after work through out the week. I'm off two days out of the week and if you would like to schedule a weekly walk schedule or drop in visit I will work closely with you to make my schedule accommodating for your pet. Ex. If you would like a certain day or if the week for me to walk and visit your dog I can request those days off if far enough in advance. Currently I am not doing overnight visits or day care but it's important to keep pets on their original schedule. For drop-in visits and walks, I think it would be best to stick to their original route and if they don't yet have one, a walk with a nice game of fetch is usually good enough to tire them out a bit. I will always send pictures when your pet and I are on our adventures together.

About: We love taking care of your pets. Safe and loving family will look after your fur babies as if they were our own family pets I work from home so taking care of your pets would be no problem at all. There would be constant care around the clock for them We have 1 dog and 1 cat both friendly and looking for some temporary friends to play and cuddle with. Yard for running and playing

“I am so happy that my dogs were in such good hands while I was gone. She is just an amazing person that cares for my dogs as if they were her own. I have a blind senior dog in diapers and a deaf senior dog that requires meds and add to that a 4 year old Newfie and they all love her. I would recommend Rachael for anyone seeking peace of mind while having to be away from their dogs. We usually board them while we’re gone, having them stay home is my new preference. She was wonderful.”

About: I’ve been a dog lover all my life! Something about these pure souls makes mine so happy. I enjoy walking dogs and am patient as they inspect every blade of grass. I have experience following strict eating directions and delivery of medications. Tell me what your dog loves, and I’ll be sure to deliver! I’m a freelance sign language interpreter, so my schedule is very flexible! Especially in the summertime when work slows down, I have plenty availability to care for your furry family in the event of summer vacations. If you choose pet care in your home, I know comfort and routine is at top of mind for your pet. I love instructions, and will follow them to a T. I will be respectful of your home so that you will return to a happy and well-loved pet as well as a home that looks just as you’ve left it.

About: I’ve had pets since I was 8. I’ve had dogs, a cat, hamsters, fish, a bunny, and chickens. They were all very unique and had different needs and levels of interaction needed to keep them happy, and I was and am still very happy to do so! I would like to extend my care to a wider variety of clients, so I have set my radius to a larger range, but bookings further away from my location will require an added on trip charge to cover the extra distance. I do work another job outside of pet sitting, but it is part time, so I still have availability to fit in caring for your fur babies. I will try to stick to their normal routine as close as possible with my schedule! I love seeing the different personalities in each animal I encounter, and learning their quirks and interests. I always pay attention to body language, and realize that animals also have their boundaries.

About: I’ve been lucky to have been around dogs my whole life. My love for dogs has only been amplified by working with dogs. I have 8 years of doggie daycare experience and I am currently a manager at a dog hotel. Working with dogs has been such a rewarding experience and I’ve learned so much along the way including administration of medication and caring for senior dogs. My partner is also in the pet care industry, so you can be at ease knowing that your pet is in good hands. Im currently working 35 hours a week spread between 4 days. I’m at home for three days for all day hang outs. I also have the option of bringing your pup with me to work. I live in a two bedroom apartment with a spacious living room. I also have a small fenced in back-yard for your pup to get plenty of out door time. I live in a quiet neighborhood and close to several forest preserves for longer nature walks. I can easily crate your dog if needed and am able to let them free roam if that’s what they are used to. I will do my best to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. I also am comfortable caring for dogs that need medications.

“Ugur took great care of our three cats while my partner and I were away visiting family. Definitely would recommend!”

About: I have never not had a dog. They make everything so much better! Within the last year I have adopted 2 shelter dogs. They were both year old when I rescued them and they are the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I love to take them on walks, to the beach & to the dog park. Right now I am available full time! I was bartending but I would like to take a break from that and do something more meaningful by helping others and their pets! I have 2 friendly fur babies of my own. They’re wonderful with other dogs! I live in an apartment but we do have our own dog park here! If you would rather I walk your dog by him/her self I am more then willing to do so!

About: I’ve been a dog daycare worker for 5 years so I have experience with most breeds! I have also have experience with senior and diabetic dogs. I currently work full time so I’m available Fridays and Saturdays for daycare or boarding. I’m available before 1:00 PM and after 9:00 PM Sunday - Thursday for drop in visits. I have a fenced in yard and a dog friendly home. I have 3 dogs of my own who attend dog daycare. All pets will be supervised at all times in my home.
