“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 twenty years experience caring for not only dogs: but also speciality animals such as horses and reptiles. I have a vet assisting degree, and security experience. I am familiar with licensing and bonding, animal behavior and various medications - including but not limited to insulin injections, and I am licensed with the state of IL to practice security. Not only am I reliable, but I am an experieneced and safe option while you’re away. I live on a five acre farm with horses, cats, dogs, and other various animals. I believe animals are family. I have a section of the house for cats, and one for dogs. The cats have access to the dog room, but can easily be cut off from entrance. My home, and habits, are very safe and organized. I work and network with my husband and family. There is always someone available! All animals are considered family to us! Please take special note that when booking for you animal companions to stay at our home, we are not a boarding center, we are a personal home setting. In order to ensure the best success with this arrangement, a visit to your home where your dog is comfortable and not stressed is required before visiting our place of residence. This gives us important insight on your animals natural behaviors to ensure the best action/sitting experience not only for us - but especially for your animals. I have plenty of time for your pups and their specific needs/routines. We cater to every animal as if they were our own, and understand each one is special and different. We have a double fenced yard, with lots of open space indoors and out. Extra crates and or farm house furniture for your pets needs.

“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: I am a dog lover who has volunteered in the humane society, watched countless friends' dogs and adopted a dog of my own.

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.

“Melissa did absolutely amazing with my pup. She had great communication and kept me updated throughout the visit. Overall extremely happy and will be going back ☺️”

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.
