About: I have worked in a Nursing home for 8 months, I am a Certified Obedience Dog Trainer, I am Dog walkercertified, I am Pet sitting certified. I graduated from Animal Behavior College and amd currently a certified obedience dog trainer. I also spend time volunteering at the local pet shelter. I would say that pet care has become a passion that I get to enjoy everyday. I have a lower level of my home where I will house the pets, I have an upstairs living room for the pets, a large back yard for them to be outside with a fence and feed them on the schedule their owner provides me. In the client's home, I will set up times to see the dogs, feed them on schedule of what is provided, take them on walks, and spend quality time with them. If there are any requests per the client's I am more than willing to accommodate.

“Nia put me at ease as soon as I met her! My cat has medical needs and she was so accommodating, judgement free, communicated if there was any concerns, and always kept me feeling like my boy was taken care of so I could enjoy my vacation. There are few people I trust him in the care of and I would book her ten times over. Can’t recommend her enough.”

About: I have been an independent pet sitter for 17 plus years. I have plenty of experience with cats, dogs and other small critters. I have been very passionate in my love of animals for many years and all of my pets mean the world to me. I have spent time volunteering in shelters for pet care as we as medical care and have spent time working as a vet assistant as well. While working in the vet office I learned how to medicate cats as well as how to give subcutaneous fluids. I have worked in various animal related fields for over a decade including vet offices, shelters, grooming facilities, pet stores and pet sitting. All animals are fascinating to me and I enjoy learning about the different types of care they all need. I live in Galena IL and am willing to cover all surrounding areas 😸 Pet sitting is my main job and my schedule is currently open. I'm looking to build my local client base and earn your trust :) I will care for pets in the clients own home. I will follow the care instructions provided for each pet. During overnight visits I will treat your home with the utmost respect.

“Sierra did a great job dealing with my antisocial Sunny. She's a one person cat. When I got back she was mad at me but well fed and healthy. I appreciate the way Sierra followed my instructions.”

About: I have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I love to play with them, to keep active. I have experience with dog sitting for some family friends and coworkers in the past. I have experience with giving medication (oral or injection). My schedule is soon going to free up even more, however I'm fairly flexible now too. Currently I am quite flexible. I need an advanced notice for potential bookings due to my busy, ever-changing schedule. I'm looking forward to meeting some new pets. I prefer to care for pets are their own homes to keep them happy and comfortable. I have a full household as it is, with 3 dogs and 2 cats. I will be able to let them out multiple times, possibly take them for walks depending on amount of dogs and sizes, play with them and love them.

“Nora is very responsive. She listened to my instructions and followed through with my pup. I really appreciate her love for her job.”

“Mackena did a great job with my kitties ! We had a meet & greet prior to my trip so she could meet the girls and get a "lay of the land". She was great about providing lots of wonderful pictures and detailed updates the whole time I was away. It gave me great peace of mind to know they were getting positive attention. Would definitely book with Mackena again!”

About: I’ve had a dogs in my life, since I was a child, and was introduced to cats as I ventured into the collegiate life. As an adult I have cared for dogs primarily, but recently had the opportunity to take care of the sweetest cats! I am fairly patient with pets and like to give them as much space as they like to try to not mess up the routines, but if they are balls of energy and cuddle bugs, I am more than happy to comply! I believe that walks and healthy roaming space is good for a dog’s, development and energy, and respecting a cat to make the first move to ensure respect and comfort to their environment. Hi! I’m a full-time high school interpreter and a lifelong animal lover. During the school year, I spend my days helping students thrive in the classroom — and now that summer’s here, I’m excited to dedicate my time to caring for your pets! I like doing research on the neighborhoods that I’m going into if it’s a new area, and like to understand what you have available, either a dog park, or a fenced backyard, to really understand how to best care for your dog. My dog is a big ball of energy so I have learned a lot of skills to be able to make sure that they stay in their assigned spaces, I do like to keep them with me on my lap as I work, or nearby letting them enjoy a nap.

About: I grew up in a family that always had dogs, ranging from small dogs (like Chihuahuas) to big dogs (like German Wirehairs). As a child, I took on dog training experience through my local 4-H group and pursued that for a large portion of my early education career. Since then, I have always been a lover of dogs and have taken on many responsibilities, not only for my family dogs, but for my roommate’s dogs as well. Any care and love your dog needs, I would be happy to provide it! I’m available for pet care during the week and on weekends from the end of June through early September. Whether you need drop-in visits or overnight home stays, I’m happy to help, just please be sure to book in advance so I can plan accordingly! I kindly ask for at least one day’s notice for cancellations. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! Please note: I do not offer dog care in my own home as I live in an apartment. However, I’m happy to provide in-home care at your residence for both dogs and cats! For dogs, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, including regular walks, outdoor playtime (at a nearby dog park or fenced yard), and bathroom breaks every 30–60 minutes based on their needs. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you provide to keep your pup happy and comfortable. For cats, I offer attentive and respectful care, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and affection (if your cat is the cuddly type!). I understand feline behavior and know how to give them the space or snuggles they prefer. Whatever your pet needs, I’m here to help while keeping their routine as stress-free as possible!

About: I've sat for many different breeds and species over the years. I grew up always having some type of animal in the home, especially dogs. I have two dogs and a cat now. I love cooking for them and knowing exactly what is going in their food. I love making home made treats for them as well. I even sew for them at times. I've made boots, coats, beds, Halloween costumes, toys, etc. Right now, my schedule is pretty flexible, which means I have lots of time to dedicate purely to furkids. I am close with a professional dog trainer and am able to ask any question, which is always a big help. My vet has great hours and very accessible as well for any questions or concerns.

“Brianna was wonderful! I would highly recommend her to anyone. She did drop in visits for our 2 cats and she gave them lots of love and time while we were gone for a week!”

About: Hello, my name is Samantha! I am willing to open my home to your babies or take care of them from the comfort of their own home! From overnights to a 20 minute walk, I am looking to help pet parents in need! I have experience with my own pups and dog sat for many others throughout the last 8 years. If watching at my home your fur baby will have two playful buddies and a giant yard to run around in! I love to watch dogs adventure and enjoy life at the lake so I would love the opportunity to do that for your fur baby. My favorite walking spot is Devils Lake and I always have a pocket full of treats to reward good behavior!

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family pets, working in a pet boarding/daycare facility and currently in Pet Grooming School. I am currently working full time as a dog walker and would love to spend time playing with, exercising your pets, and making sure that they are well cared for. I can assure you I will attend to and care for your dog or cat in the best possible manner. Fences and gates will always be triple checked to ensure no escapes. Leashes will be used if there is no fencing. They will always have water available and fed according to your schedule you have set for them. Pictures and updates are always available throughout the day to ensure the safety of your pet.
