About: My preferred name is Leo. I've been caring for animals for most of my life. Growing up, I was responsible for helping care for three family dogs, including feeding, walking, playing with them, and making sure they were happy and well cared for. I also grew up around cats, as my mom had several throughout the years, so I'm very comfortable caring for cats of all ages and personalities. Today, I have a cat of my own, so I understand the daily responsibility and attention that pets need. I'm patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, companionship, or simply someone to keep them safe and comfortable while you're away, I'll treat them with the same love and care I give my own pets. My schedule is very flexible, and I'm available seven days a week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. I work on my own schedule, so I can usually accommodate last-minute bookings as well. Whether you need someone for a quick check-in, daily visits, overnight care, or extended pet sitting, I'll do my best to be there whenever you need reliable care for your pet. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I keep my home clean, organized, and pet-friendly. I currently care for my own cat, who is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and well loved. I make sure all of my houseplants are non-toxic to pets, keep anything potentially dangerous out of reach, and provide plenty of toys, enrichment, and a cat tree for play and relaxation. I'm attentive to each pet's individual needs and always make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean space, exercise, affection, and plenty of attention. I also have experience helping cats socialize through supervised playdates with friends' cats, so I understand how to create a calm, safe, and positive environment. I'll care for your pet with the same love and attention I give my own.

About: Ever since I was kid I’ve had dogs around! From dachshunds to large labs, I love them all! I work from home and thought why not open it up to take care of part of of your family! I have a 4 bedroom house and a nice sized fenced yard. Animals are welcome in any space that humans are: the bed, couch, etc. I have worked with several foster dog programs as well. Helping dogs transition between shelter life and new homes! I work from home except on Thursdays so am available just about 24/7 to take care of your pet! This allows me to provide the attention your pet may need! I offer boarding and day care for your pet! I can walk or take them out to potty as often as you’d like. Feeding schedules are also very flexible.

“Our pups love Lorenzo! He is awesome.”

About: I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I do my best to provide the same level of care and attention I would want for my own pets. I've cared for many dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I pay close attention to body language and behavior, which helps me understand when a pet wants to play, needs space, or is feeling anxious. Whether your pet is outgoing or shy, my goal is to build trust, keep them comfortable, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I work from home most of the time and have a flexible schedule, which means plenty of attention for your pet. My Border Collie loves having furry guests, and they’ll enjoy frequent potty breaks in the shared backyard, daily walks, and playtime at the community dog park located right behind my unit. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with close supervision throughout the day. I follow each pet's routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Elan’s great she’s always professional, polite and most importantly my dog LOVES her. She’s been walking my dog mocha for years and I’m never disappointed. She also sent pics and videos while pet sitting when I went out of town. I could tell she treated mocha like she was part of her family.”

About: I have been the proud fur mom of several animals over the years. Now that I am working from home, I have the flexibility to help others care for theirs. I have experience with administering oral medication and working with high energy pets. If there are special requests I am more than happy to discuss what is needed. I also have experience with taking care of cats, so if there are extra animals I am more than happy to care for them as well. I am available mornings, afternoons, evenings and nights during the week and have open flexibility on the weekends. Having someone you can trust to care for your pet is a huge relief, I promise that your fur baby (or babies!) will be in good hands and feel the love when you are not able to be there! Im currently working from home with schedule flexibility, so your pet will have the time and attention they need while you are away. Whether it’s an early morning walk or time needed after dinner, I can assist. I like to keep to the same schedule that the pet is used to. I ensure pets are fed and walked at times they are used to. I make sure to spend time with pets after feeding and then take them out before leaving. We currently do not have pets in our home, so if boarding is needed you do not need to worry about other pets. We also have a large fenced in backyard and live in a dog-friendly neighborhood that includes a lake with lots of ducks and geese, a fun time for everyone :)

“My dogs were very happy to spend some time outside with Leah while we were away at work. Great as always!”

About: I grew up with all kinds of different pets in my life, from birds, to turtles, gerbils, a rabbit and of course cats and dogs. I love animals & I would love to watch your babies for you while you’re away! I’m currently on the hunt for a full time gig. I’m super flexible with feeding times & letting your pets out due to this! I do not watch animals from my own home, but always take the utmost care of the pets I watch, in addition to their owner’s home!

About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of them since I was very young. I love all animals. And I can not wait to meet some new furry friends. I’m currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to care for your animals. I’m available to take the fur babies on walks whenever you need. I have a very friendly dog that is completely house trained. I can crate your animal, walk them, pay with them. Anything you need for them to be comfortable I can do.

About: I have been a frequent dog-sitter for about two years now but I have had dogs all my life, making me the perfect candidate to take care of your four-legged friends. I’m happy to take care of your pets because I enjoy being around animals! Most people would describe me as gentle and caring. I have worked with anxious dogs in the past and I believe I am able to make them feel comfortable and safe to alleviate any anxiety they face. I am a full-time student with classes on Monday, Wednesday, & Thursday so I am looking to watch your pets on the weekends preferably! But if you would need me for longer I will more than likely be open to accommodating :) I will follow any and all rules given to care for the pet. I love going on walks so if the weather allows it, I would love to take your pup on a walk! I am also a loving person who will be very affectionate towards the pet to affirm their safety. I have worked with both anxious dogs and cats in the past, and I believe I am good at soothing their anxiety.

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs. They seem to know that I genuinely love being around them, and I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routines, and individual needs. My goal is for your pup to feel safe, happy, loved, and completely at home while you’re away. 🐾 I’m experienced with feeding, exercise, medications, playtime, and keeping dogs on their normal routines. I’m attentive to the little things that help them feel secure and cared for. I also take pride in caring for your home. I’m responsible, respectful, tidy, and detail-oriented, and I’ll make sure things are well cared for while you’re gone. You’ll come home to a happy, well-loved dog and a clean, cared-for home. I don’t just watch dogs—I get to know them. ❤️ Dogsitting is my full-time gig so if I’ve taken you on as a client, your dog will receive the absolute best care, with attention given to their routine, including walks, playtime, feeding and cuddles. In my home, your dog will receive the pet-centered care they deserve per your directions (feeding, walks, etc) They will have a room to feel safe, inside or outside a crate. They will be encouraged to sit on the couch or in a dog bed for chill time, receive frequent walks (I do not currently have a fenced yard) and will be left alone for 2-3 hours max.

About: I am a wildlife biologist for the Georgia DNR working for the Urban Wildlife Program. I have years of experience dog-sitting, primarily for large- and medium-sized dogs in the Chicago area. My work schedule is very flexible, allowing me to take my time to care for your critters! A large part of my job is responding to wildlife emergencies using years of experience and best-judgment decision making, which makes for a great pet-sitter. I am a wildlife biologist that works from home in Decatur. My workload is quite low so it is easy to fit pet care into my schedule throughout the week. My flexible schedule affords me ample time to provide proper attention to animals. I have a calm demeanor with strong attention to detail when it comes to care instruction. My experience as a wildlife biologist has trained me how to monitor animals for emergencies and how to be calm in the face of the unknown or unexpected. I am used to following strict research protocol, so following along for the care of your animal will be a breeze.

“Brittany was amazing and super friendly! She took many photos of our pup on their walk and took very good care of our girl!! She even checked in with me to ensure I had disarmed our security system beforehand when I had forgotten and gave our kitties some pets. Would book again!”

About: I love dogs more than anything! Walking your dog(s) and cuddling with them whenever necessary will make both me and your dog(s) very happy! I am very patient and will make your dog(s) feel loved at all times. Going for walks is something I enjoy very much and I am sure your dog(s) will as well. I am flexible with when I can stop by being that I have my own car and lots of free time. My experience with dogs has been almost my whole life having grown up with dogs and working at my aunts kennel for several years. I will love your dog(s) like it is my own! Thank you for your interest and I hope to see you and your pets very soon! I am home at hours that are convenient for watching and walking pets. I will work my schedule around yours so that it is most convenient! I am willing to listen to any of the owner’s needs. I will walk the pets or just let them outside. Whatever works best for the owner.

About: I love animals but can’t have pets in my apartment so would appreciate sharing that love with your pet! I have been caring for a variety of pets since 2019, mostly dogs & cats (and the occasional bird!). I have experience with dogs of all sizes (from chihuahuas to Great Danes) and most ages. I have less experience with puppies but lots of experience with senior dogs. I have experience with high energy dogs that need multiple walks a day and dogs that struggle with mobility. I have experience with dogs who require medication. I have experience with cats of all temperaments. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. I have a fairly flexible schedule so am available during the day most days and on weekends. I have been regularly caring for my parents’ elderly Great Dane (11 years old now) since 2020. I am looking forward to spending more time caring for pets. I care for pets in their home environment according to the standards set by the owners. I am very conscious of varying family rules on things such as furniture and am happy to adhere to those expectations. I prefer to stick to whatever schedule the pet(s) are used to (regular walk times, regular feeding times, etc).
