About: I have taken care of dogs as a drop in and while the family was on vacation. I also enjoy walking dogs. Also, have taken care and trained puppies and have catered to senior dogs. My dog owners are very pleased with my skills and patience with their dogs. They appreciate my care and kindness I show to their babies. I am semi-retired, I work at the Coal City schools as a recess monitor during the school year. I am very flexible with my time around recess hours. I don’t mind late night walks/drop ins (before 10pm) or early morning walks/drop ins. I am respectful of your home when coming to get your dog. I am respectful of your home and your yard. I do not use or go into other parts of your home not previously given permission to access. I am in constant communication when it comes to the welfare of your fur baby.

“Alyssa is great! Very good with updates and communication. Great with my dogs and very reliable. Highly recommended”

About: I’ve had my own dog for 6 years. I had family dogs for most of my life. I’ve also helped take care of many family members and friends pets over the years. I also volunteers with a rescue so I have experience with puppies. I’m a teacher so I will be home full time during the summer for pet sitting. I am also off work every weekend and most holidays. I have a fenced in yard and a dog of my own. I also have 2 cats. My own dog is crate trained so I do have experience. All pets are allowed on the furniture and treated as members of the family.

About: I have watched dogs and cats both long term and short term since 2018. From my parents’ pets for a day, to a 4 months house and pet-sitting arrangement in California I have had good experiences caring for animals. I take their care as seriously as I would my own pet, but respect the rules and routines set up by the pet parents. I am currently unemployed outside of this, so I have tons of availability and time to focus on YOUR pets and their needs. I can spend as much or as little time with them as needed. I care for pets based on the instructions of their normal care takers, while focusing on basic care and schedule. It’s important to me that pets feel safe and their routine is not disturbed too much. If allows, I also like to give plenty of pets and cuddles to any animals that’s accept it.

About: Hello, My name is Karley and I would be pleased to help you care for your dog(s). I have grown up my entire life with dogs around (usually about three at a time), and my passion and love for dogs has no end. I currently have a male pitbull mix and a female corgi/rat terrier mix at home. (We're actually not quite sure what she is because she was a surrender to us). We adopted our boy from a local shelter July of 2019, and he has been the greatest light in our lives. I once heard "they never stop showing you how grateful they are for being adopted" and I couldn't agree more. Dogs really are human's best friend. I look forward to working with you and your pets. I currently work from home and have the ability to do drop ins or short walks during my lunch hour, or can do all-day stays during the day as long as I have a WiFi connection. I also am available for early morning walks or feedings/take outs. I work 8-5p.m. WFH schedule, and M-W I work a part-time gig at a store in the evenings from 6 p.m. to 11p.m. I am able to fit quick visits in anywhere, and schedule walks on my breaks or in-between time. I am not available on the weekends currently, but may open up my availability in the future. I believe pets are a part of the family and should be treated as such: with care, dignity, love and respect. My own pets are treated like kings and queens and I would hope I would be able to care for another person's pet with the same level of love.

“Emma was a great fit for our fur baby. I would highly recommend Emma and will use her again.”

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: I make sure to do all the activities that your pup likes to do to keep them occupied. I feel leaving them. Home is better for their mental state than dropping them off somewhere where they don’t know where they are. Lots of loving and all of my attention goes to the babies while I’m there. I currently do not work and my schedule can be made mostly around the needs of the employer. My son is at school 8-3 but he would be willing to help with animals also. We have a fenced in yard but also go for walks. I have no problem with walking multiple times a day or whatever other needs the pet has.

About: Ever since I was little, I have loved animals. I grew up with at least one pet in the house since I can remember. Animal care is basically second nature to me now, and I would love to spread that care to other's pets! I currently have a part-time job, so I have plenty of time for your pets! Taking care of pets has always been the norm for me, so adding more pets to my schedule would be so fulfilling!

About: Hi I'm Melissa and I am a 46 mother and homemaker. I am here to make your time away from your pet worry free and accommodate your pet care and/or house sitting needs while you are away. I have plenty of experience over my lifetime and even worked at a veterinary clinic with an assortment of different animals. I have a two month old puppy named Max and he loves other animals. I can provide plenty of references to ease your mind and have a very flexible schedule. I'd be happy to help you through the holidays or any other time of the year you could use an extra hand . Please feel free to contact me at your convenience and I look forward to meeting you and your pets. Thanks for looking and have a great day. I work from home and homeschool my 7 year old, I focus focus on Max's training throughout the day because this is a crucial time in his life where he needs to learn so many things. I make sure my days stay as flexible as they can be so we all get through them as a team and are still laughing at the end of it. With that being said as I am available to board a senior dog or special needs dog but I wouldn't prefer to have one at doggy day care on a regular basis until Max is older and has more training. I have a huge fenced in yard and lots of toys to play with. Max loves it out there and we have a little pool and a doggy house.
