“Catkins was so good with Coco. She was patient and followed all my instructions for my puppy. I was so scared to leave her with her because of me not knowing her but she was very gentle and kind with my puppy. She updated me as often as I liked.”

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for other people's animals from dogs and cats, to horses, snakes, goats, chickens, and more! My promises to you: I will respond in a timely manner, be reliable, and send you updates (with pictures) while you are away. I will ensure that your beloved pet(s) receive the care and attention they deserve. I will be respectful of your home and ALWAYS leave it cleaner than how I found it. I know how relieving it is to return home to a clean space! :) My schedule is flexible but I do have a part time job I work in the evenings. Typically 4-9pm 🙂 I do not offer boarding in my home at this time. I am an attentive and patient caregiver with safety at the forefront of my attention. I will ensure that your animals receive the care, attention, and exercise they deserve!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them is a joy. Whether it's playtime, peaceful walks, or simply being a comforting presence, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet like family and will make sure yours is loved and looked after just like my own. As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility and availability to give your pet the attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday potty break, playtime in the yard, or simply having a consistent presence nearby. Because I’m home during the day, your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches of time. I’m able to keep a close eye on their needs, maintain their routines, and provide lots of love, attention, and cuddles. I have a large yard and outdoor area that’s perfect for running, playing, and getting all that energy out in a safe and secure space. Whether your dog loves to explore or prefers to lounge in the sun, there's plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. If your pet needs downtime or a quieter environment, I also have comfortable, confined indoor areas where they can relax and feel secure. I'm happy to accommodate different energy levels and personalities.

About: Hi paw parents, I’m Coco. I provide home style dog care for your furry baby. Follow my Facebook for discounts: Coco Siercks I’ve taken care of dogs of all age and kind since I was 15. I have experiences volunteering at Anderson animals shelter for a couple of years working with dogs and cats in all conditions until the pandemic happened. My parents wouldn’t let me have my own dog until I went to college. But that didn’t stop me from taking care of dogs that weren’t mine. I love animals so much, so I would always offer to take care my grandma’s dog and neighbors’ dogs as well. When I was old enough to volunteer at the animal shelter, I enjoyed spending time with animals and helping them to find a forever home. I’m currently a graduate student at UIUC back home for breaks. Therefore, I have plenty of time to play and take care of your fur baby. I do prefer a Meet-N-Greets with all new guests, best for pup and owner for a good fit. No aggressive or untrained dogs please. This is our home. Please use Heart Worm, Flea and Tick preventive to protect your dog since we spend time outdoors in grass and a small wooded area. My pup(Max) is up to date with all vaccinations, Heart Worm, Flea and Tick preventative. Please watch for symptoms, coughing, not eating, not acting normal, fever (100-103 normal) and mucus from nose. I would appreciate all guests have their Dog Flu Vaccine, please consult with your Dr. Takes 5 weeks to be good effective. My schedule is really flexible, Please let me know what time might work best for you and your furry family member. We can workout the best time for everyone. I live in an animal friendly neighborhood. My house is ranch-style house with a fenced in yard and a sun room with easy access to my backyard. I also have a friendly dog to keep your dog’s company. If your dog don’t get alone with other dogs, my house is big enough to separate them (I only host two family at a time). I will take care of each dog according to their situation and condition, such as eating time and other living habits. I will keep the owner updated with video, pictures and/or phone.

“Very sweet and took good care of my anxious floof.”

“Melanie was great. We had Zoey for one week, and Melanie took great care of her, making sure that she adjusted very well. We will definitely use her service again. We had no problems with communicating, she sent picture updates, and we trusted her with our little puppy.”

About: When I was 7 years old I got my first puppy. His name was Jake, a baby lab. I trained him myself and raised him throughout his entire life. I have a natural affinity with animals. I am great at figuring out what my furry baby needs from me, I am also great at calming down irritable pups. My puppy passed 5 years ago due to health conditions and I instantly got two more. I now have two Australian shepherds who are very high energy and need a lot of love, play, and attention which I always provide top quality. I have also been relied on by friends and family countless times to take care of their puppies or all different kinds. Pictures of these beautifies can be found in my profile. I feed, walk, bathe, play, and much more with them, I know they always enjoy themselves and their owners are always greatfull and eager for me to watch them again. I have even taken care of peoples bunnies, reptiles, crustaceans, cats/kittens (I am allergic to cats so I am less likely to take them on). The dogs I have taken care of have been xs-xl sized so I can handle myself, even two animals at a time would be no problem. Currently, my schedule is very flexible as I am working with DoorDash where I get to schedule my own work times and days (based on the area and how busy it is). This allows me a lot of time to devote towards your furry baby! I work the most from 4-9:30pm on weekdays and weekends (primarily). Weekdays are more negotiable than weekends, as these are my only jobs currently. There will never be a time where I need to focus on both jobs simultaneously, any furry baby with me will have my undivided attention! My home is a very safe, clean, and organized environment. So, there will be no worry for any choking hazards, sharp objects, or hazardous foods/liquids in furry reach. That being said there is also a door that blocks off the kitchen area. If there is any specific housing instructions, I will cater to them to the best of my abilities!

About: I work from home and am a fur baby mom to 2 dogs and a cat. Caring for pets comes naturally, I can hardly remember a time where dogs weren't a part of my life! I love them and love caring for them! My 2 pups are always eager to play with new friends too! I have a ranch style home with a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play! Of course, any special diets will be strictly adhered to provided you supply what is needed as well. From puppies to seniors, I will care for them all! Your pup is sure to feel the love in my home. Feel free to ask any questions. Hope to meet you and your fur baby soon! I work from home, so I'm available to let out pups for potty breaks or go on a short walk throughout the day. Treats are at the ready too! My pups are spoiled and receive lots of love and attention throughout the day, and so will yours! Can't wait to meet your fur baby!

About: I have taken care of many dogs in my neighborhood for years. I had a German Shorthair Pinter I trained. I have had a umber of cats over the years. My dog now is 14 yes.! I am a retired teacher so I have the time to care for your dogs! I am available everyday. I do attend church on Sunday’s for 3 hours. Other wise I’m am home all day. First thing in the morning we are out the door for a walk around the neighborhood. We come the dogs have a fresh clean bowl of water and a treat. My dog eats around 12 o’clock. I feel his bowl up with his favorite dog food from blue buffalo. Second walk of the day is around noon outside around the neighborhood check in with some of the friends dogs and back home. We take a little nap around 2 o’clock and then back out for another walk around five. My dog gets another bowl full of blue buffalo. Sometimes he eats it and sometimes he waits and eats it later in the evening. We go out approximately between nine and 10 o’clock. The last of the day potty breaks. I try to keep the same schedule for the dogs so they know what they have to do when we go outside.

About: I had family pets throughout my childhood that I would help take care of. Now, I have 2 dogs of my own! they are both two years old and have a ton of energy. I have a very flexible schedule with my other job. I am mostly always available to pet sit or take your dog for a walk, unless I am traveling. I have an adorable friendly golden retriever and high energy ausiedoodle that always wantto play, I have many toys and treats, and a crate if needed. If your fur baby needs anything specific gladly let me know!

“Pamela is truly the best! We reccomend her to every single petparent! She made us feel so welcome at the moment we met for a meet and greet. We knew right away,our dog Isla will be in great hands. She always responded very quickly and everything went super easy and also sent us pictures thru the day. We are extremely happy we found her and looking forward using her services in the future! Thank you Pam! We had a fun day! Love, Isla”

About: I’ve had dogs for 18+ years and I have knowledge of what they need and can do it. Also, I’ve watched other family and friends pets before. Currently, I have a cat as well that is a year old. Currently I am staying in DeKalb for the summer and have a bunch of free time. Weekends are great opportunities for me to walk your furry friend! I have a dog at home who I feed, walk and take care of. I’ve had to make food for dogs before that isn’t only kibble and would do the same if a client had asked.

About: I grew up with dogs all of my life. We always had at least one dog and usually a cat growing up. My family and I now have 3 dogs- Cocker Spaniel, Bernedoodle, and a Beagle mix. We treat our dogs as family- humans. I consider them my children. I am a former foster for Tails, but unfortunately I had to give that up due to getting attached to them all. ❤️ *update- I’m fostering again! 🥰💕❤️ I am a stay at home mom to my 3 dogs! My 15, 12, and 6 year old are in school all day. I am home all day besides an occasional errand, school drop off/pickup, or an after school or weekend sporting event for my boys. My husband also has a flexible work schedule. In fact, I usually have him come along on meet & greets so that we can tag team visits if need be. We have a Petsafe invisible fence. If you have a Petsafe collar, then it should work at my home. Besides the Petsafe invisible fence, we have an extra long tie out in the backyard. We also have a fenced in area near the pool which is unavailable during pool season otherwise open. I recently put up a fenced area that is suitable for dogs that aren’t jumpers or strong. Our yard is about half an acre. I’m happy to walk a dog on a leash in the yard or around the neighborhood as well. We have a beautiful walking path nearby. I also love giving the option to pet owners for in home visits while they’re gone. Sometimes a pet is more content and comfortable in their own home. I’m happy to visit 3-4 times a day to provide some company, feed, and allow for potty breaks. It’s really a great option for many who don’t enjoy being boarded at a facility.

About: I have been taking care of dogs with my sister from this app, we watch dogs from our home, or we go to the persons house. I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with my furry friends when ever someone needs me too :) I have a fenced yard, I do have two dogs one is a Siberian husky she is still young and my other one is a chihuahua.
