About: I’ve been helping my parents raise dogs since I was around 10 years old, our first dog being a collie we rescued as she wasn’t being treated well with her initial owners. We took her in and got her cleaned up, took care of the fleas she had, found her a good diet, and gave her lots of love and attention through it all. We took her on camping trips, out on the water to go fishing, out on walks and to get pup cups at the ice cream shop, her favorite place being my granny’s house. Alongside her, we raised three more dogs when they were puppies, each one two years apart. 2 of them are Australian shepherds, and one is a husky, all girls and grew to form their own little pack, respecting each other’s place and playing happily in a big fenced in back yard. We supported our collie till her last breath as she was elderly, and even as she was so old, she always had her usual, laid back and quirky personality. Even now, I continue to help my parents take care of our dogs, as they’re not just pets, they’re our family, our fur babies, even in they’re old stages of life, they’ll always be our little babies in our hearts. So rest assured, your fur baby will be 110% safe and cared for with me, maybe even a bit spoiled! I’m currently looking into part time or less demanding full time jobs, and I’ll be actively looking until I land one, until then, I should be mostly free, and I’ll definitely keep my schedule updated as life moves forward and changes. As of now, I have appointments on Wednesday, I try to keep them consistent each week, but they’re subject to change due to scheduling. With specific instructions written on paper, I have no issues accommodating to your pet’s needs in your home! I’m respectful during visits in others homes, treating them as my own and keeping spaces clean and tidy. With proper cleaning tools, I can clean up accidents on hard surfaces or rugs, I may need a demonstration on how to use a specific cleaning machine or vacuum depending on how complicated it is. I’m not allergic to any animal, or any breed, so pet hair doesn’t bother me! If need be, I am able to administer oral medications with proper instruction and demonstration. On walks I make sure to keep dogs close to me and away from the road, I carry doggy bags, and on hot days, I’ll carry a little folded up bowl that I can poor water in, so your baby stays hydrated!

“Gabby is a fantastic sitter, my boy Deke is always shy when he meets new people but immediately took to Gabby which goes to show how amazing she is with animals. She has timely communication and gives my deke all the love and play during her visit! It’s such a weight off my shoulders knowing Gabby is stopping in to spend time with him!”

“Karen did a terrific job doing a drop-in visit on our Bernedoodle while my wife and I did a day trip to Chicago. Karen checked in with us and sent a photo of our dog while she was taking him for a walk. Thank you Karen!”



About: I grew up around pets. I am very active & can be energetic with your pet. I can play & run (if needed). I love to be around and to spend time with animals. I am very aware of how to take care of an animal. I can spend a good bit of time taking care of them as long as it fits into my schedule! I am flexible with my visits and can come multiple times a day if my schedule doesn’t conflict that day. I work full time, but I have flexibility with having to be in the office so I am able to work with most pet schedules. I also don’t work on the weekends and am usually in town. I can play with pets for hours or just be there to make sure they’re taken care of if they’re more of a shy and/or lazy breed.

About: I am a lifelong pet owner and lover of animals who grew up with a lot of pets. I’ve walked and cared for dogs of all kinds and all ages, from twin toy chihuahuas to my 145-lb Newfoundland/Saint Bernard mix. I have love and respect for all animals and I especially love taking care of and traveling with my senior cat of 7 years and bff, Ducky. I am a friendly people (and fur people) person and would love to help care for your pet! I work part time and have flexibility to care for pets in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I care for my own pet every day and love to fit meeting new dog and cat friends into my daily schedule. I can drop by to walk your dog (comfortable with large dogs, dogs who need training, etc), feed your cat, or help care for your pet in whatever way you need. I am happy to pet sit in your home or just drop in for a walk. I live on 3 acres and have the perfect area to go for long walks if you want to bring your pet to me, as well.

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 10 years old. I've cared for everything from cats and dogs to horses and reptiles. I have some basic experience training dogs. Sit, lay down, etc. Also grooming. Shampoo, brushing, trimming. Pet care is my full time job. So I am available everyday. Keeping your pets routine is my top priority. Making sure there is as little disruption to their normal schedule as possible. My morning routine usually consists of feeding, grooming, a long walk followed by playtime and a lot of potty breaks. My nighttime routine is the same.
