“Finn looks forward to Danny coming and going for a walk. I have to be careful to not say Danny’s name until he is here, or I have an overly excited German Shepherd boy looking for him.”

About: I believe that pets should be treated like your own family member. Exercise, affection, grooming and good nutrition are all important to a Happy pet. I've had pets all my life, both cats and dogs as well exotic animals. For the past 15 years, I've had friends, family and co-workers seek me out to care for their pets. They trust my ability and love. I can be there at anytime you need me. Thanks for your concentration and I hope to hear from you soon.

About: I have been fortunate enough to gain years of experience working with animals in both a shelter and medical setting. I am well trained in various routes of medicine administration as a result and love every dog I meet. I just want to be able to make a difference for the pets and their families within my community. I do currently work a full time schedule as a veterinary technician, and study part time, so I generally have a rather busy schedule. I am well-disciplined, however, and manage my time around all of my commitments appropriately, and your furry friends hold a high priority for me. I can prepare for overnight duties and have flexible enough time in the mornings and evenings, and could feasibly do drop-in care over the noon hour. My weekends are generally clear! I sincerely promise to be completely respectful of your living space if I am hired to provide care for your furry little loved ones, guaranteed.

“Georgia went above & beyond while walking my Louie. He got the best exercise & he had the best time! She is consistent, dependable & kind. I’m so happy I chose her to walk my dog. Thank you so much Georgia! You’re awesome!!”

About: Love working with all types of animals, Worked in 3 years vet care experience. I have worked with special needs and geriatric animals. I have a flexible availability. I've been trained on animal behavior and animal training. I have an apartment and animals will have free roam. We would go on walks. I also do grooming, nail trim, and teeth cleaning. Good with working with behaviorally challenged pets. Like to have open communication with fur parents. Willing to text and send pictures to update them during their time away. I currently work part time and getting my masters in counseling online. I'm looking for more time to spend with animals because I miss having them in my life. Let me take care of your fur babies! I currently work in both vet care and mental health. I have a very flexible schedule during the week and have 3 days off in a row. I make sure to prioritize the routine of the pets.

About: I am willing to stay the night if needed or just stop by to check on dogs. I will give walks or whatever else is needed as well! When I lived at home, before moving to St Charles for college, I took care of my pets every day. I would feed, walk, and love on my two dogs daily. I will treat your pet however you and the pet feel most comfortable. I am very gentle will dogs and will help the dog to feel as comfortable as possible

About: With over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments, I provide compassionate, attentive care that feels just like home. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or a calm walk, I adapt my approach to meet each pet’s unique personality and health needs. What sets me apart is my patience, consistency, and ability to earn trust quickly, from both pets and their owners. I have a golden doodle of my own so caring for pets is what I do all day. He is very energetic but also loves his naps. I am a college student so during the summer i am with him 24/7 Whether caring for pets in my home or at a client’s home, my top priority is creating a safe, stress-free, and loving environment. I stick closely to the pet’s normal routine—feeding times, walks, play, and rest—so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and follow all instructions carefully, from feeding and medication to keeping favorite toys or beds in the right spot. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, and I’m always alert to signs of stress or discomfort. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space where animals can relax and feel at ease. I keep a regular routine and make sure all pets have plenty of room to play, nap, and feel at home. Since I have a friendly Goldendoodle, pets who stay with me will also have a built-in playmate—unless they prefer solo time, in which case I provide quiet areas just for them. I send regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

“Emily is brilliant and so good with animals (and owners alike). She was my elderly fathers dog walker/care giver and she was amazing. The highest of recommendation from this customer!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals as far back as I can remember. Growing up we had horses, cats, dogs, and even pet crows at times. I’m a huge animal lover and currently have two cats of my own. I’d love to have a dog also but not quite ready for that full-time commitment…I’m happy to be able to help others with their dogs as I am able! I have been asked by friends and family members to house sit, do check-ins, dog walks, etc and I truly love it. I do work full-time but work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I would be more available to do boarding, check-ins, or walking in the evenings and on weekends. Currently I have two cats so i don’t have any dog crates but would have plenty of space for you to bring your own. I don’t have a fenced in yard but will do regular leash walks. My cats are pretty friendly but could be contained in the basement if need be.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 12. My friends and family have counted on me to walk, feed, water and love on their animals I am home all day Monday-Thursday unless something comes up. I don’t usually have a set schedule throughout the day. It’s just whatever I decide to do I don’t have a house to care for pets at. At my clients house I will play with the dog in the backyard. Feed and water and just make sure they are loved

About: I have had pets in the house since I was a kid. Dogs, cats, hermit crabs, rats. I’m punctual and able to adhere to your rules/guidelines concerning your pet. I’m currently retired enjoying my time at home. Will work part time in the fall. We have 2 responsible adults and a teenager in our home that can take care of any needs or playtime your pet may need. I have a fenced yard and one high energy doggie that eats twice a day. Potty breaks are always available. I have 2 gentle, loving cats that enjoy being around other people and dogs.

About: I have loved animals of all kinds and all sizes for my entire life, i grew up on a 40 acre working farm and i have also worked as a veterinarian technician and have over 20 years experience caring for Animals of all kinds-dogs, cats, peacocks, chickens, horses, goats, rabbits, ostriches, elk, deer, and more! Caring for animals is a natural part of my everyday life. Living on 5 peaceful acres in the country, I spend my days surrounded by pets—my own cats, dogs, and occasional farm animals. I build my schedule around giving each pet plenty of love, attention, exercise, and rest. Whether it’s daily walks, medication administration, or simply cuddling on the couch, I make sure every animal’s needs are met consistently and lovingly. My experience as a veterinary technician taught me the importance of routine, observation, and compassionate care, which I bring to every pet I look after. Pet care isn’t just a job—it’s part of my lifestyle and passion. I prioritize safety and comfort above all else. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, secure environment on our quiet 5-acre country property, with plenty of space to explore under close supervision. All areas are pet-proofed to prevent accidents, and I closely monitor each animal’s behavior and health throughout their stay. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their routines and spaces, keeping their environment clean and safe while providing attentive, loving care. I follow all instructions carefully—whether feeding, administering medication, or handling special needs—to ensure each pet feels secure and comfortable. Building trust with both pets and their owners is essential. I communicate openly and promptly, providing updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind that their beloved companions are in caring hands.

About: Welcome to my page! My passion is spreading the love, and we do that by being loving animal owners ourselves. I have been a caregiver for 25 years and have experience with animals small to large, hedgehog to horse. We love them all! My home is a Safe Haven for all or we come by your house where animals feel most at home. We enjoy caring for a variety of animals and sharing toys, walks, and of course belly rubs. It really gives us a happy boost so we seek it out often. Our home is an isolated farm house with plenty of roaming room, no electric fences or shock collars here. Just one on one attention. We are a house of many cards, actually animals. We have two dogs, 4 fish, 60 birds including chickens, Guinea fowl, and ducks. We’ve been blessed with the opportunity to help rescue and release some back yard birds like doves and finches. We really do have a niche for this! I'm currently a stay at home mom of kids and animals. During the day I’m available to come by and say hi, or you can drop off and pick up around your work schedule. We live in an isolated area in the country(only 3 neighbors within a mile). No fence but we do have a lead if needed and we are always outside with our puppy playing and running. Animals are allowed to sleep on the floors or in my bed. We do have crates when necessary and we only give pure freeze dried liver as treats.
