Brianna was a fantastic walker for our two dogs. She was a great communicator, super reliable, helpful, and so detailed in her walking notes. Our dogs loved her and she was amazing with them. I felt much better leaving my pups at home during the day knowing that Brianna was going to come see and walk them. Highly recommend her!

About: I’ve never lived without an animal in my life I know the basics and more. I would give your pet so much care and love! I’m going to Eastern Illinois University for biological sciences with a pre-vet pathway. I hope to one day be a veterinarian, but I know wherever I go there I will be working with animals! I’m very passionate about what I do, I take pride in my work. I work at an assisted living as a resident aid, I work 3-11 sunday, monday, wednesday. I also am a full time student at EIU but I will always work your pet into my schedule and give them the care and love they deserve! We can always work out what days i’m free I can always stop by if I can’t stay longer! I would make sure the house stays clean and would take care of the pets and that’s all. If asked to sweep or water plants I would also do that!

We needed help with our pup last minute and Misty was quick to respond and willing to work with our schedule. During the meet and greet I could tell she was very comfortable with animals as well as knowledgable. Overall Misty was amazing to work with and I felt at ease knowing our fur baby was in good hands.

About: I have plenty of experience with both dogs and cats. I have been working in a dog/cat boarding and daycare facility for a little over a year now. At work, we are responsible for providing individual care for each animal staying with us; we are in charge of providing them with playtime, feeding them, giving meds, and more. Personally, I have had two cats going on about 15 years now, and I have had two dogs (a lab mix and a pit mix) for about five years. I also have the experience of being a dog walker volunteer at a humane society! Right now, I am on summer break and home from school, and I am currently only working a part-time job. On days I do work at my part-time job, I’m usually working from 8-230pm 3-4 days a week, so I will usually be available outside of that time period on my working days. On non-working days, I typically have open availability. Since I am around animals pretty much 24/7, caring for them is part of my usual routine, making me very passionate and comfortable around animals. Unfortunately, one of my dogs is reactive and doesn't take well to new doggy friends, so care at my house would not be possible. However, in terms of staying in the owner's home, I would bring over some toys and other things dogs love, like treats, and I could even bring a splash pad for those who like water! I would make sure the dog is my number one priority and be on top of what their daily needs are. For cats, plenty of catnip and fun will be involved!

About: I am a proud mother of a 4yr old son and an 10 yr old daughter.. My daughter is usually at school for most of the day. However, caring for both full time I have come to notice animals stimulate both kids and teach them respect, responsibility and routine. We are excited to em"bark" on this new chapter in life and cant wait to start. Together, I believe all 3 of my family unit would not only love, but sincerely enjoy even the smallest and largest pets while their 'parents' are away or just need some attention. With summer upon us - my schedule (and helping hands) have become more flexible. Currently, I am available every day from 6am to 7pm. Holidays, weekends, and every day that ends in "Y"! With respect to the pet , clients home, and specific care needs, I try to always keep an open mind and heart but keeping respect in the foreground.

About: I have spent my entire life caring for animals. Throughout my life I have had many animals from birds and Guinea pigs to cats and dogs. Koda, my youngest dog was completely trained by me in German commands. Working with dogs to learn new things is one of my favorite things to do. My oldest dog, Motley is a senior and the past couple years I have become very educated and trained on administration of medication and post surgery care. With experience from my own pets, I have many reliable references I have gained over the years that can vouch for me on my loving, dedicated, and superior care with their fur babies. I am currently a nanny and have almost completely open availability. I work Monday through Thursday during the day but can still do visits anytime! And I’m off Friday through Sunday so anytime those days as well! When visiting your home I am happy to provide any services you may need for your pet. This includes special feeding instructions, medication distribution, daily walks, baths, guaranteed playtime, and more all while treating them as my own with so much love! I am also happy to do drop in visits while you are at work or walks to get your babies steps in.

About: I've been caring for others' pets since I was a teenager whenever a friend needed someone to care for their fur babies. I am typically the pet sitter for friends or family who go on vacation without their pups. I always had animals growing up (fish, bunnies, birds, dogs, etc). I was fortunate enough to take classes with a local dog trainer when I first adopted my dogs 6 years ago which has been very helpful in managing behaviors. I am a school employee currently on summer break with no trips planned due to the rise in the cost of living, so my schedule is wide open at the moment until school starts back up on August 17th! During the school year, my schedule is pretty much jam packed with work and caring for my 2 year old in the evening, although I might be able to find some time to do something quick like drop in visits or a 30 min walk a few times per week. Once I've gotten to know a pet and their owner, I may be available to do pet and/or house sitting throughout the school year (I'm more cautious about pet sitting currently due to the age of my child and the presence of other animals in my home, so I would need to make sure it's a good match with my dogs ahead of time if dog sitting is involved). While walking dogs, I always double check that their leashes are secure and harnesses are not too loose. If walking in an area with less traffic or on a narrow path, I instruct the dogs to sit while cars pass by for safety. If a dog acting in an aggressive manner is being walked towards us, or if one is in someone's yard, I always cross the street to avoid a potential issue. If there is a possibility of walking or sitting more than one animal at a time, I make sure to introduce the animals ahead of time and talk to their owners to make sure they're a good match. It is also important to me to make sure any dog I walk has some time to cool off before I offer food or water (i.e., deep chested dogs susceptible to bloat) as well as checking the temperature of the pavement before walking a dog on a hot day. If possible, early morning or early evening walks are preferable in order to keep the dog comfortable. When taking care of my pets or dropping in to check on others', I always give love and attention first before feeding them or taking them on a potty break. I also make sure everything is picked up off the floor and all doors are locked. If dog or house sitting is a possibility, I would need to meet the dog(s) ahead of time to make sure it's a good match, and if possible, take them on a walk or 2 in order to familiarize myself with them before showing up at their house in order to reduce the chances of the dog being frightened. I take the safety of my animals as well as others' very seriously.

About: Hello! 🐾 Currently, I am employed as a Veterinarian Assistant at Crestline Veterinary Clinic in Charleston. I have worked at Crestline for over five years and interned there while I was in Highschool. Caring for animals has always been a great passion of mine! I am qualified to handle and care for pets of all breeds, and even of all tempers. I am CPR trained, can administer medication, and can handle senior aid. During the week I work at Crestline from 8-5. Other than that I am free all weekends and majority of afternoon. I am available to go home on lunch to attend animals through the week. My husband also works 5 minutes away from home during the week. I do have animal like dogs and cats at home and they are friendly and even goto work with me daily but they will 100% be kept separate from animals staying at my home. I have a room and hallway made just for clients staying at my home to stay separate from my animals. I will leash walk them when we go outside for potty.

Ella has always had a dog in her life whether at her home or all of her extended family. When anyone needed help checking on their dog or walking it Ella was first on the list. Little by little the neighbors started asking her to help and then friends of friends. We still have people ask if Ella is around to help them. Dog lovers understand other dog lovers. Ella grew up as a dog lover.

Brooklynn has been a frequent caretaker for my elder, 15 year old black lab. When caring for Halee she is responsible for administering her medications, preparing her food, taking her on short walks, and aiding her if she has any mobility issues. She has always met all of my standards for my babies care, i’ve never had an issue. With this, she has taken care of my spoiled cat giving her so much love and affection. Both of my animals adore Brooklynn and we couldn’t imagine having anyone but her!

I have two golden retrievers and I have a seasonal job that requires me to be away from home for 15+ hours per day for eight plus weeks and she opens her home to my much loved fur babies during that time. My girls love her and feel right at home with her. Rachel understands that pets are like people and they are all different. Different personalities and different needs. She is great with all animals. I highly recommend her to dog walking or dog sitting.

About: I have taken care of many family and friends animals for years. I walked, fed and bathed their pets. I have grown up with pets. I am a student at EIU. I have class from 11-2 everyday. I may have tutoring once or twice a week for an hour but will be free most of the week and weekends. I take my dog on walks twice a day when home. I change the food and water every every day and night. I clean and vaccum after my animals.

About: Hello! 🐾 Currently, I am employed as a Veterinarian Assistant at Crestline Veterinary Clinic in Charleston. I have worked at Crestline for over five years and interned there while I was in Highschool. Caring for animals has always been a great passion of mine! I am qualified to handle and care for pets of all breeds, and even of all tempers. I am CPR trained, can administer medication, and can handle senior aid. During the week I work at Crestline from 8-5. Other than that I am free all weekends and majority of afternoon. I am available to go home on lunch to attend animals through the week. My husband also works 5 minutes away from home during the week. I do have animal like dogs and cats at home and they are friendly and even goto work with me daily but they will 100% be kept separate from animals staying at my home. I have a room and hallway made just for clients staying at my home to stay separate from my animals. I will leash walk them when we go outside for potty.
