About: I would say I own 4 dogs but who am I kidding?? We all know we don't "own" any of our furbabies because they own us! 😊 I am a dog and cat groomer by profession and an all around animal lover. I know how important general health as well skin and coat health is and strive to ensure it's maintained. My life revolves around dogs and I believe all animals deserve the best care. I assist alot of people with not only their dogs coat but also with purchasing the right food for their pets and the best harness or training collar. I love my profession and would love to broaden my knowledge and experience on many levels when it comes to dogs in general. I figure helping other pet parents is a great start. I do offer bathing/grooming services as well. Price varies depending on breed/size of dog. Pet care is a daily routine for my pack and I. With 4 of my own, we stay busy and strive to maintain a healthy routine. Any other pets in my care, also get the same loving treatment and routines along with following any routines they are used to. I have a large yard with a privacy fence for the dogs to run and play. My home is also animal safe with large empty areas for play, separate kennel room, and grooming area.

About: I had my own dog once until he passed away since then i have not been able to get another one but instead i used my time to take care of others my moms, neighbors and friends to still share my time and love i have for pets.

I have a fenced in yard on a 5 acre property where there is a lot of room for play! I have friendly animals that will love the company!

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, growing up with dogs, cats, birds, and even lizards. My mom was an animal lover, and I’ve followed in her footsteps. I helped my dad with his three cats that my mom used to care for before she passed, driving an hour every week for grooming and bathing (one of them is a bit oversized!). I’d love to care for your beloved pet. Although I can’t have pets of my own due to my wife’s allergies, this makes pet sitting my dream job! I regularly care for my father’s cat, Jack, traveling over an hour each way, so distance is not an issue for me. I work seasonally for a cemetery in Bloomington which leaves me laid off from December 1st to March 1st each year. So I am highly available in that 3 month span, and then on weekends during the rest of the year. I’m here to support you and your beloved pet. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and the people who care for them. When my wife mentioned pet sitting, I was excited to get involved right away. Dogs seem to love me, and cats generally tolerate me—which I think says a lot about my character! I’m reliable, trustworthy, and available when you need me. I’ve been caring for pets since I was young, helping neighbors with feeding, walking, and cleanup. I promise to provide the care and attention your pet deserves and be a great fit for you both!

About: I have experience with all kinds of pets. From reptiles, felines, and mixed breed pups, to Pit Bulls and German Shepherds. I love them all 🫶🏾 I work from home for a minimal contact tech company. After my little ones leave for school at 8:30 AM, my schedule is completely flexible. We miss having fur babies around and will treat them as part of our family. I have mild mannered boys 8 and 6 that love nature and animals.

About: I started pet sitting when I worked at my first vet clinic. And, because I love animals so much, I have never stopped. I grew up with dogs, cats, ducks and every pet in between! Currently, I have 2 dogs, a Jack-Russell mix named Jake and a Beagle mix named Macy. They are extremely pet/people friendly and they love new company! Also, I worked as a veterinary assistant for a a few years, so I am very comfortable with administering medications and taking care of your pets special needs. I will provide whatever accommodations that are needed and I will make sure that your pets feel safe and comfortable. Most of all, I will always keep an open line of communication with you. I know how it feels being away form your pet and I know the importance of regular updates and pics. I look forward to hearing from you and I can’t wait to met your pets! :) 🏡 House Sitting + Boarding 🏡 (Overnight) Evening - Morning; I do offer some flexibility, however there could be an additional fee if check in/out times are drastically different from what I have set. I currently work from home full time. This means I can fully dedicate all of my time to your fur babies and their individual needs. I will care for your pet/pets the same way every single time. And, I will always treat your pet/pets as is if he or she were my own.
