About: I have always had a love for dogs and enjoying spending time with animals. I am newer to pet sitting, but I am dependable, active, patient, and committed to helping your pet feel comfortable and cared for! Wether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or keeping your dog company, I will treat them with the same kindness and attention I’d want for my own pet! I also know how much trust it takes to leave your pet—or your home—in someone else’s care. That’s why I prioritize clear communication and reliability. I’m happy to send regular photo updates, texts, or calls so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. I am currently a full-time student and work part-time at gyms making my own schedule. I am flexible and can make time for your needs. I am available in the mornings and afternoons for walks. Along with random times in the day for potty breaks/attention. When caring for pets in client’s homes, I respect their routines and make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh food and water and lots of love. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and trust their pets are being well cared for.

“This was hands down my best experience booking a sitter! James was attentive, helpful, and showed a clear passion for our cats! James really went above and beyond! I am particularly anxious when away but the pictures and updates James sent were wonderful! I came home to two very happy and healthy kitties! It made such a difference knowing that they were being watched by someone who cares. I highly recommend James to any pet parent!”

About me: I'm currently finishing my final semester (virtually) as a graduate student in cultural anthropology.

I'm happy to play, cuddle, give space, go for walks, or provide anything else your pet needs. Because I live in an apartment, quiet dogs are preferred.

About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of pets, ages, and have even done a little training. My experience stems from running my own pet sitting business in the Northwoods of WI for 4 years. I am currently a student at NIU so I will be scheduling around my classes. Monday/Wednesday I have class usually 9am-4pm & Tuesday/Thursday from 1pm-4:30pm. I will take gigs after class at night but please keep in mind that I’m an active student & my schedule may change based on other commitments. I also go home to WI to see my family so please just communicate with me! School comes first so I am specifically looking for lower maintenance gigs so I can manage my academic workload. BONUS points if your pet loves snuggles. I only care for pets in my clients home simply because Im not allowed to take them to my apartment. I’m very communicative and always answer my phone :) if you need extra help with plant care or getting the mail I am at your aid!

About: When I had roommates, they have a cat who has wobbly cat syndrome (Cerebellar Hypoplasia) which makes him walk a little funny! He can’t go more than two to three steps without falling over, and eating is quite a challenge. Having cared for him has made me really patient and understanding of animals. I recently just left a data entry job, so I have all the time in the world to care for your pets! I love animals more than people so they are going to fit perfectly into my daily routine. I would spend time with your pet as much as you’d like! I love spending time with animals whether that’s playing with them, giving them pets, going on walks or just being next to them giving them company!

“Kimberly was amazing. She did drop in visits for a week for my two dogs and took excellent care of them. She is professional, courteous and communicative. I highly recommend her!”

About: I'm located in Sycamore, IL and am familiar with the surrounding area. I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and sizes for most of my life, from puppies to senior sweethearts. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or just plenty of cuddles, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I understand that each dog has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel right at home with me. Your dog will be treated like family—with patience, kindness, and lots of belly rubs. On each visit I can spend 30 minutes or a couple of hours, even overnight - whatever your fur baby needs. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to give your pets the love, care, and attention they so richly deserve. I'm happy to spend a quick 30 minutes, a few hours, or overnight - whatever your fur babies need! Some holidays are available, but do fill up quickly. I will provide your pet with the same care and consideration that you do. I'll make sure they not only have their food, water, and bathroom breaks, but plenty of playtime, walks, and love on the schedule you wish them to have. Keeping their routine as close to normal is my goal while your pets are in my care.

“Jessica was always punctual. She took great care of my boys and they seem to be completely comfortable with her. It put my mind at ease to be away and know that they were well taken care of! Definitely would rebook with her again.”

About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, lizards (and even hedgehogs for a couple years!) since I was 10 years old. I love all pets and am happy to go out and play or sit and relax, all depending on the pet’s needs. I have administered medication to senior cats, middle-aged to senior dogs, and lizards. I do not mind helping to clean your house if there are any accidents or messes made while I am there! I am looking for a summer job as I have a couple smaller, less frequent opportunities throughout the summer. I am going to do my masters at NIU in the fall, so I will be in the area for a while! I would love to get out and do lots of walks to enjoy the summer weather. I have two cats at home that get played with daily and enjoy relaxing with me at the end of the day. Because my cats will eat anything and everything, I am very aware of what is left out in my house as well as other spaces. I am happy to clean up any messes or accidents made while I am at your home and make sure everything is the same or better than you left it for an overnight stay. I have pet sit for many friends and family and have had no complaints! I will make sure to take pictures of your pet so you know they are happy and safe, it’s what I would want from anyone who takes care of my cats!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was in elementary school, I cared for my own, my family members, and community members dogs. I’ve even had the opportunity to work close with the family vet. I currently work part time and am in college, that leaves me extra time to be able to care for your babies. I’ll always make it a priority to be flexible during the week. I don’t have any fenced in areas, which is the main reason I’m not doing in-home care at my house. I do have a nice walking trail down the road from my place, perfect for a morning stroll.
