Pet Sitting Clearing

About: I’m sure all sitters say this but I genuinely have a seat for being with animals. Sometimes I prefer them over people and treat them like they’re my own. I love all of their personalities and quirks. Anywhere I go I ask to pet someone’s dog and respect what the dog’s body language is telling me. I have a Siberian husky so I have had to learn how to read body language and potential environmental stressors very well. I invest a generous amount of time into learning about dog breeds and am always opening to learning more! Currently, I am home for the holidays with plenty of time to care for your pets while you’re away! I have access to a car and am eager to work. Extensive experience with dogs, slightly less with cats but always open to caring! I love giving them constant stimulation and walks. Pets and treats are always given. I treat all dogs like they’re my own. I have an eye on them almost at all times.

“Guillermina was great with my cats. She was able to visit everyday to feed, play and administer supplements. I recommend her for your visits.”

“Very attentive care for my timid cat. Followed all the care instructions very exactly and made sure to seek out my cat in hiding to confirm all was well. Recommended!”

Marcy D.

“I will never go to another sitter, ever! She takes care of my cat who is an absolute terror to people, and Ethel is bery kind to her. She goes above and beyond every time I have her!”

“Luis is my number one choice for holding things down with my furry crew when I travel. He is a kind and communicative person who spends quality time with my kitties, and makes sure they have all the food and water and fresh litter they could possibly need every day. I’m grateful for him!”

About: I grew up with cats and Golden Retrievers and now have 4 Boston Terriers and 2 new kittens, who are my whole world! I am also an approved dog-walker / caregiver for Chicago Animal Care and Control, trained in their strict techniques, so I am comfortable caring for, walking, and exhausting small to large dogs. Currently working part time, so have lots of time to dedicate to your pups! I am mostly available for walks during weekdays: Mon - Fri, 9a - 5p Happy to care for your pup where they are most comfortable, in your home! Even if you have a fully fenced yard, you can trust that I'll never leave them unsupervised and unleashed, outside. If you do not have a fenced yard, we will have lots of fun getting our steps in, around the neighborhood! Comfortable getting your pup in and out of crates/kennels if needed, and getting them harnessed up for walks. Will *always* pick up any and all poop your pup leaves, whether in your yard or on our walks.

“Another fantastic visit by Tara! She always gives Jim so much attention, and in ways he enjoys: brushing, petting, etc. I’m very grateful she helps us out when the need arises.”

“Nina was great with our pets, Dodie is shy and stubborn but Nina navigated it well and had great communication. Thank you!”

About: I've spent a few years pet-sitting for family members and friends with many dogs and some cats. I can do feedings, walks, play-time, baths, or whatever is needed. I can also administer medication in liquid form , tablets, or topical ointments. I am currently volunteering/fostering at a cat shelter! I've lived with dogs and I also have my own 2-year-old cat that is living her best life. I am currently a graduate student with classes once per week, clinic twice per week, and a part-time job. I am otherwise available: Saturdays/Sundays any time Mondays and Tuesdays after 6pm Thursdays before 11am and after 4pm Fridays before 4pm I will always respect an animal's boundaries and adjust to their personality. I like giving them their space and letting them control the situation. I can provide minimal care if needed, such as feeding or basic check-ins, or I can go beyond that and also provide walks, play time, baths, etc. I will do whatever is best for you and your pet! :)

“Gionna is absolutely fantastic! My rescue cat, who rarely comes out for anyone except me, followed Gionna around the house while she visited. I have to believe that means she’s a wonderful person!”

About: What sets me apart is my 10+ years of experience caring for dogs and the genuine love and attention I give to every pet. I have a dog of my own named Lucy, a Beagle/Boston Terrier mix, and my siblings and I share the responsibility of feeding her, taking her on walks, keeping her active, and giving her plenty of love and affection. In the past when Lucy has been sick, I was responsible for taking her to the vet and giving her medication. I have also cared for several of my friends dogs while they are at work, including taking them on walks, feeding them, checking in on them, and spending quality time with them. I have experience being around both puppies and adult dogs and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I am reliable, patient, responsible, and committed to making sure every pet in my care is safe, comfortable, and well looked after. I will follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated so you can feel confident that your fur baby is in good hands while you're away. I am currently a part-time elementary school substitute teacher, so my schedule can vary from week to week. I typically receive my substitute assignments 1–2 weeks in advance, which allows me to plan ahead and know which days I will be available. On days when I am not substituting, I would love to dedicate my time to caring for your pets. I am generally available Monday through Friday from as early as 6 AM to 7 PM, depending on my school schedule. I’m hoping to make pet care a fun and rewarding side job while providing reliable, loving care for your furry family members. When caring for a pet in their home, I make sure to follow their normal routine and the instructions provided by their owner. I will make sure they have fresh food and water, take them for their scheduled walks or potty breaks, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I will also make sure their environment is safe and clean before I leave. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, habits, and specific needs. If they need medication or have any special instructions, I will carefully follow the owner's directions. I will also send updates and photos during my visit so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and being well cared for while you're away.

“Angelina is a treasure. I always feel comfortable going away and leaving my cat in her capable hands. She goes the extra mile. I return to a happy and content cat.”

About: Ill treat every dog like its my own... I have had rescues and i want all dogs to feel safe loved and cared for when their families are away. I have grown up with dogs. I work in healthcare and can handle anything. I have experience given medications and working with dogs who scare easily. I enjoy being around animals and one day hope to do it full time.

About: I have taken care of family pets my whole life, no pets are allowed in my household so I have taken every opportunity to interact with and care for animals outside of my home. I make sure to keep up with their needs while also providing them an enjoyable environment! I work from home so I am able to relocate wherever there is WiFi connection, the work isn’t too demanding so I am able to care for pets immediately. I work 8:00 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday and have 24/7 availability! I have an hour lunch break and am also available anytime after work and on weekends! I cannot have animals in my home so being in a clients home is best for me. I adhere to all instruction given by owners and follow the schedules set for the animal. I am open to entertaining and watching after the animal at all hours!
