About: Hi there! I’ve worked at a professional dog grooming salon for almost two years, where I gained hands-on experience bathing dogs and caring for boarding pets by feeding, walking, cleaning their spaces, and making sure they felt comfortable and loved. I’m also a proud dog owner of two pups and have plenty of experience pet sitting for family and friends, including both dogs and cats. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your furry friend needs a walk, some playtime, or a stop in visit, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 💞 I’m currently a student at Northern Illinois University, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets throughout the week. I plan my classes and study time around my pet care visits, so I’m always able to give each animal the attention they deserve, whether it’s morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening playtime. When I’m doing dog walks or drop in visits, I make sure each pet gets personalized care and attention. I always follow your instructions closely, whether it’s a preferred walking route, feeding routine, or favorite toy. My goal is to keep your pet’s day as normal and enjoyable as possible while you’re away. During walks, I make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, fresh air, and positive attention. For drop in visits, I handle feedings, water refills, potty breaks, and of course, plenty of love and playtime! I also send photo updates so you can see how your furry friend is doing throughout the day. I treat every pet I care for with patience, kindness, and the same attention I give my own because they deserve nothing less! 🐾

About: Loving, reliable care for your pets - because they deserve the best while you're away! I want you to have one less worry while you’re gone. I am flexible and am available for most emergency care. I understand the urgency for your needs and try to be as open to them as possible. I want your pets to be as comfortable with me as they are with you. Cuddles, play, walks. All of it! I do it too!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I’ve got my first one when I was 5 years old. Throughout the years, I’ve gained a ton of experience taking care of all dogs. As an owner of 3 dogs (2 small. 1 large) I’ve definitely have had my fair share of doggy cuddles, play time, walks, and lots love! I’m currently working part-time, so I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule. I am a student, but because my class schedule is very spread out, I have lots of free time to take care of any furry friends! In your home, I will implement any rules you have for your dog. I will also establish to you dog that I am a trustworthy person as I will slowly introduce myself to your dog to make sure they feel safe with my presence!

“Cora was great taking care of our two cats while we were away. She was a clear and prompt communicator and sent great updates each visit. Would use again.”

“Rae’Na has taken care of my dog and my cat several times now and she is fantastic! Very caring, professional, reliable, and has great communication!”

About: I offer thoughtful care based on lifelong experience with animals. I have cared for dogs, cats, and small pets throughout my life, and I am comfortable following specific routines, feeding schedules, and care instructions for each type of pet. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or visiting them in theirs, I pay close attention to behavior, comfort, and overall well being. My approach is calm and reliable, helping pets feel safe, settled, and well looked after while their owners are away. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. I spent many years in demanding roles with long hours, so I understand how difficult it can be to find reliable pet care when time is limited. Having been on the other side, I value offering the availability, consistency, and attention that busy pet owners often need. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine as much as possible. I follow feeding, medication, and exercise instructions closely, pay attention to behavior and comfort, and make sure pets feel calm and cared for in their familiar environment. My goal during visits is to provide presence, consistency, and attentive care, not just to check in and leave. When hosting pets in my home, dogs stay indoors at all times and are always supervised. My home is fully fenced and has enough space to comfortably separate visiting dogs from my own if needed. While my dogs are very adaptable, I can also manage reactive or more sensitive dogs using separate areas within the house. Dogs are never unnecessarily confined and have access to different spaces, regular potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day.

“Colin was super caring and attentive to our 3 cats! We’d be more than happy to welcome him back to watch our pets again.”

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.

About: I have always been an animal lover! Growing up, I had a “zoo” of my own full of all kinds of animals! I have been taking care of pets for neighbors and friends for 5 years now. While I am away at college, I found myself missing my animals I do not get to see everyday day. I figured bringing my love and care for animals to others will fulfill that void in me! I am a CNA at a nursing home near by, I switch off day shift and night shift, as long as working part time! I also enjoy going for walks, and could use the company for my morning and evening walks. In a clients home, I want the animal to feel as safe and comfortable as possible; by sticking to the consistent routine they are familiar with!

“Matthew did a fantastic job watching our cats. He gave them lots of love and care, and I think our cats like him more than us now. He also was very tidy in our home. I'll definitely seek out Matt's help again next time we need a cat sitter.”

About: I have grow up with pets my whole life. I am currently unable to have one where I am living, so this is a perfect way to get outside and interact with some wonderful animals. I have always has a cat in my personal life, but family members, friends and roommates have had dogs. I would absolutely love the opportunity to get to know your dog and care for them with the same love and affection you give them. I am currently a staff employee at the university, every day I have a slightly different schedule. Most mornings and evenings are free. Weekends as well. Afternoons I am a bit busier. But more than willing to discuss schedule further, please message me. I am not able to have pets currently, so housing is not an option. But I have such a huge heart for animals and would love to have more fur babies in my life even if it is only temporary.

About: I've always had a passion for taking care of animals of all kinds! I love taking care of my own dogs, cats, and other's furry friends! I have experience with dog and cat daycare and providing medications and services as I worked as a kennel technician at a veterinarian clinic. I've worked with all ages of dogs and cats ranging from puppies and kittens to seniors. I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets! I am available from 9-5 on weekdays and 10-2 on weekends for daycare visits. For overnight stays, I am available for whatever fits your schedule the best! For overnight stays and daycare visits, I am readily available to play and care for your dog and cater to their needs. I am exceptional at staying on top of their schedule and your schedule!

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with a wide range of pets, especially rescue dogs and senior animals. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to older pets with mobility or medical needs, and I understand that each animal requires a unique kind of love and attention. I’m patient, observant, and gentle — especially with shy or anxious pets. While I don’t have a pet right now (I’m in the middle of wedding planning!), I miss that connection and would love to help others care for their furry family members. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work a pretty flexible schedule so that leaves me with lots of flexibility for pet care! I’m happy to do drop-ins, walks, or sitting depending on your pet’s needs and schedule. I’m reliable, communicative, and love spending my free time with animals! I always prioritize safety, trust, and respect when caring for pets and their homes. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I ensure a clean, calm, and secure environment where your pet feels comfortable and loved. I treat your space with the utmost care, following any specific instructions you provide. Being responsible and respectful is my top priority—I want both you and your pet to feel confident and relaxed while you’re away.

“Kellie did a great job over the Thanksgiving weekend watching my senior cat, Luna, and making sure things were good at my home. She did daily checkins, was attentive and gave nice updates with photos. Luna has some specific potty needs and Kellie was great, patient, respectful and helpful. We would welcome Kellie again! And would definitely recommend her services!”
