14. Emily M.
About: I’ve been taking am care of dogs for over four years. Having my own four-year-old Shitzu-Yorker mix, I understand the care and kindness that is needed to take care of a pet. I adore being around animals and live to play with them. As an active person, I love going on walks, runs, and playing outside with my own furry friend and other dogs as well. Overall, I am a dedicated, caring, and loving individual who would be honored to spend time with your furry friend! I am currently a college student in Normal, IL. I am happy to take booking from either Carol Stream or Normal Illinois area, so don’t hesitate to reach out! I’m free during major breaks and am pretty flexible with by schedules. I am both an early bird and a night owl, so I do not have a big preference on when to come over to lend a helping hand! I have a fence surrounding my entire yard to keep my own furry friend from escaping, but I also have experience in walking dogs with leashes. I am comfortable with putting other pets into crates if needed. I understand that feeding schedules differ slightly, but am adaptable to each persons needs and schedules. Lastly, I know the basic needs that all animals need and definitely know when to refill water bowls or provide little snacks if needed and instructed too.
15. Amanda G.
“If you can book Amanda to walk/dog sit/drop-in for your dog, do it. Stop looking, book Amanda! My dog, Caesar, is an 80 lb pitbull and we just recently moved from a house to an apartment, so he is very anxious because of the new sounds and environment. I booked Amanda for walks/pop-ins because I work downtown everyday and I can’t stress enough how incredible she has been! She has been so patient and loving with Caesar, and he isn’t always the easiest dog to be patient with, especially on walks (that 80 lbs is all muscle and if he isn’t ready to go home, he plants his feet and good luck moving him). It isn’t always the easiest to find someone to take care of Caesar due to the stigma that comes with his breed, but Amanda didn’t care about his breed or size. She just cared that a dog needed her, and she stepped up. So if you are looking for someone who will give your dog the love and care they expect because it’s the same love and care you know they deserve, you need to book Amanda.”
16. Lisa M.
“Lisa is a great asset to anyone that needs a pet service - dog walking, or cat sitting. I know she has her own pets and treats them so well. She has treated our pets like her own family. Also something to really consider is her honesty and trustworthiness. She is 100% dependable and you can trust her implicitly. I have no hesitation recommending Lisa if you need someone to take great care of your pets.”
17. Tanya S.
“She did a great job with our Lab and we will definitely reach out again! Thanks a bunch!”
18. Lydia B.
About: My experience with dogs and their care is extensive. I have several friends who call on me when they have to be away. I have stayed in their homes with the dogs who are more comfortable in their own environment. I am confident in what these families' would say about my care. I have cared for disabled dogs and am comfortable giving medications. My personal hobby is horse backing riding where I have learned a lot about reading animals. Each animal is unique and loved by their family. It is this belief in family member which is my business moto. Under my care your pet will be loved, protected and exercised while your away. In choosing me, I am certain that I will exceed your expectations. Thank you for reviewing my profile and I look forward to hearing from you. Caring for your pets basic needs will be my top priority. Together with my husband and my 18 year old daughter, we can assure plenty of walks and exercise will be provided throughout the day. Of course there will be snuggle couch time, if that is what your pet needs. We live in a "lived in Home" that is filled with love. My whole family loves dogs and enjoys playing with them. The yard is unfenced and we leash walk if required. I am a retired active grandmother that truly enjoys spending my days with dogs. Your pet will be treated like family with my loving family. We offer a fenced yard for play time and several poddy breaks throughout the day. Your pet will be fed, exercised and get peaceful rest.
19. Brittany N.
“Brittany burst forth from the womb a pet lover!! I should know, I'm her father, and she got the critter gene from me! Brittany grew up with doves, ducks, a dwarf pig named Billy Bacon, hamsters, fish, snakes, lizards, two miniature goats and over the years a variety of dogs and cats, but by far, the dogs were always her favorite and first love! Brittany is well organized and responsible, always taking her pets' health and well-being to heart. Her current dog Mila, a Husky mix with beautiful blue eyes, is a sweetheart! That's because of the way Brittany cares for her and helps Mila learn her doggie commands. Fitness is a priority and Brittany takes Mila on long walks to bring vitality to Mila's life; she would do exactly the same for the dog in your life--the one you love and cherish! Dogs are wonderful animals and always love back with the love you give them. While in her care, Brittany would fill their little furry hearts with love. Know that the dog in your life will be in the caring and reliable hands of Brittany while you're away.”
20. Brittany C.
“Brittany is such a caring sitter. Animals love her and she loves them. She is very attentive! She will love your pets as her own. It’s scary leaving your pet when you’re away but you really don’t have to worry when Brittany is caring for your animals.”
