“Shannon is amazing! She takes wonderful care of our GSP who can be a handful. Lots of pictures and videos. This is her second time watching our girl - looking forward to many more trips and the peace of mind I have knowing Abby is with Shannon.”

About: I have a lifetime of farm life! I have helped care for many sweet dogs, cats, donkeys, horses, goats, sheep, chickens, turkeys, guinea hens, reptiles, birds and more! I work with integrity and I communicate very well. I'm well rounded in my experiences and qualities provided. I'm confident I can meet anyone's needs as far as great animal care. You'll see many photos i've posted of my sweet white lab-wolf mix, she passed away two years ago. Hank my youngest sons sweet boxer passed away just about five months ago. Losing our family members has been very hard. Taking care of pets has filled my heart with healing love and energy. Pet care is a full time job. I schedule my weeks accordingly. I keep my calendar flexible and I can usually meet anyone's pet needs for the day. I will schedule to meet you and we can walk through the routine your pet needs in your home. I am flexible and can take pets in my car if needed. I'll follow instructions as given and make sure safety is my first choice.

“Sumi was awesome! One of my dogs had cervical surgery and I was so nervous to leave him. She made me feel comfortable and she took amazing care of both of them. She followed my detailed instructions to a T!! Will definitely book her again. She was top notch!!”

“We felt very comfortable to let our dog Lottie stay with Tina. Tina is very knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior. Lottie only stayed one day and Tina took her out on runs and walks a couple of times and made sure to send us pictures. We will definitely reach out to Tina again if we need a dog sitter in the future.”

“My pooch seemed very happy and content after hanging with Patience. I didn't want to leave him alone in the hotel room while I was out. Thank you for watching my baby Patience!”

About: I grew up on a farm, so animals have always been part of my world—feeding chickens before breakfast, brushing horses after school, and getting covered in dog hair in between! I’ve looked after everything from bouncy puppies to mellow senior dogs, and I’ve always had an easy, natural connection with animals. They seem to sense that I’m one of the good ones. I’m great at picking up on their vibes—whether they’re in the mood to zoom around or just want some chill cuddle time. Taking care of animals is second nature to me, and honestly, it’s one of my favorite things to do. I live a flexible lifestyle and am fully available to care for your pets. Since I’m not tied to a traditional job or schedule, I can offer your fur babies lots of time, attention, and consistency. Whether it’s daily walks, extended stays, or last-minute needs, I’m here to help and happy to adapt to your routine. I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing environment wherever I’m staying. I care for pets in their own familiar space, which helps them feel secure and relaxed. I’m attentive to routines, respectful of your home, and can adapt to any special needs your pet may have—whether that means crating, administering medication, or extra cuddle time.

“Agan Crystal was absolutely fantastic in looking after our high-maintenance Pug. We were thrilled to receive regular updates and the most beautiful professional photos of our boy. We loved the photos so much that we're planning to have some printed and framed.”

About: I’ve delt with many animals and I have a way with them, I do a lot of volunteer work with animals at shelters so I’ve been bitten and scratched but it’s no worries at all I know it’s not the animals fault. I’m currently working a part time job I’m not graduated just yet but I do have a lot of free time when I’m not at work. I have a huge back yard and many pets myself they are super friendly with other animals as long as yours are, my yard is fenced completely

“We needed someone to stay with our dog Sam for the day, as we could not (and would not) leave him unattended in a VRBO rental house. It was very short notice. I searched under house sitting as that was the closest match to what was needed. Sean responded almost immediately. Best part was how quickly the two connected, as Sam can be anxious. Within 5 minutes of our departure Sean sent a photo with Sam in his lap. That helped us relax and enjoy the day and Sean reported that Sam had been chill the whole time. We would absolutely contact Sean again, and recommend his calm and caring energy to care for your pets.”

“We had a great experience with our pup sitter! She followed our directions perfectly! Pups were very well cared for and loved...we could tell when we came home how they reacted to us. She also left our home exactly as we had left it!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years, starting in my neighborhood and within my own family. I have experience with all types of dogs—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle handling. What sets me apart is my calm energy, deep sense of responsibility, and genuine love for animals. I don’t just take care of dogs—I connect with them. I understand their body language, emotional needs, and routines. I’m also available for overnight stays, making sure your pup feels safe, loved, and comfortable even when you’re away. Plus, I always send photo and video updates to give you peace of mind while you’re gone. Pet care has been my full-time work and passion. While living in New York City, I worked exclusively as a dog sitter, offering personalized care, overnight stays, and potty breaks every 2 hours. I recently moved to Illinois after a personal loss, and returning to this work has been part of my healing journey. I’m currently available full-time with a completely flexible schedule—including weekdays, weekends, and overnight stays. I always follow the owner’s instructions with care and respect. Every dog has a unique rhythm, and I adapt fully to their needs—whether it’s frequent walks, calm companionship, or special routines. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my top priority. Whether I’m caring for a dog in my home or in the client’s home, safety and trust always come first. I create a calm, loving environment where dogs feel secure and relaxed. I follow the owner’s guidelines closely—feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, and any special instructions. I keep a clean, organized space and never leave pets unsupervised. I also send regular updates with photos and videos, so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is to make your dog feel truly at home, even when you’re away.

“We can not say enough positive things about Lisa. We have an aging pup. Lisa handled our pup’s meds and walked her each day. Lisa even shared a little yoga with our girl; she sent pictures and kept us updated. An added treat was the house well cared for too. Thank you Lisa.”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my personalized, compassionate approach to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it's playtime for the energetic or calm companionship for the elderly, I treat every pet like family. I’m currently part time but each day, I schedule dedicated time for walks, play sessions, and feeding routines, ensuring pets get the exercise and attention they deserve. When I care for pets in your home, I ensure that your pet feels secure in their familiar surroundings. I follow your daily routines and instructions to maintain consistency, and I provide regular updates with photos or messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it's feeding, walks, or playtime, I treat your home with respect and leave it just as I found it.

“Teddy Bear Loved Cheyenne! She sent us pics of him enjoying her company and when we returned home he was centered and happy verses angry at us for leaving him. Cheyenne also left our home spotless. You would not even know she had been here. I will definitely use her again!”
