House Sitting in Emden

“Gina is the best. We have 2 bigger dogs and she handles them great. We don’t worry at all when they are in her hands and we’ve even taken longer trips up to 5 days. She is pleasant and responsible with a nice sense of humor. Our dogs love her and are comfortable around her. You can tell Gina is a dog person by the way she interacts with them. No fear and completely comfortable which also helps the pups not be anxious while we are gone. I highly recommend Gina.”

About: I have been taking care of various sized animals for the past several years. I am comfortable giving medications if need be and following any special instructions you may have for your four-legged babies! I am currently in college classes full time Monday-Thursday, however after 1pm I am fully available! This is not a hindrance at all when caring for your pets in your home. I prefer to stay in your home if watching your animals for an extended period of time, but if you are not comfortable with that I certainly understand and am happy to visit your house throughout the day as needed to attend to your furry loved ones!

“Mark is just excellent! Our furbabies loved him right away.”

“Brittney stepped in on very short notice to take care of my cat and dog! She was professional during our meeting; Brittney is confident & up to the task! Brittney puts the client at ease by providing detailed communication during the stay. One day later, and my pets still seem energized; my dog even tried out some new tricks when we played today, so it's clear that during her time with my pets, Brittney provided mental stimulation and attention in addition to providing for their basic needs!”

About: Need a reliable pet sitter or dog walker? Reason I got into dog care and grooming is I have always had a huge passion for caring for animals ever since I was little and worked on farms and did FFA. That’s how I found my love for dog grooming as well. I can work around your dogs Dailey schedule of his/her daily routine so they are relaxed when you are away. I spend all my time with your dog when I am not at work. I am a huge dog person, Have Cared for my friends and family’s dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have even cared for three puppy sibling several times. I also work on dog training also for a small additional fee of $15 for an hour session of training. I have trained my dogs on all basic commands plus a couple extra stunts such as back stall, stay, leave it, crate, and hug! I have two very social border/ Aussie pups who loves to play with other dogs! 🐶 We live right in front of a huge empty old soccer field that is perfect for a dog that is very well obedient when off leash to play chuck-it or frisbee. I hope to hear from you soon can’t wait to meet your pup! I am home every weekend. During the week I get home from work at 4:15 everyday. Have every holiday off as well too spend with your pups. Anytime I am not at work I will spend with your dog I have two friendly border/Aussies would love other dogs and cats. We love to go on walks and go walking to the creeks. I also send updated photos of your dog.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, growing up with dogs, cats, birds, and even lizards. My mom was an animal lover, and I’ve followed in her footsteps. I helped my dad with his three cats that my mom used to care for before she passed, driving an hour every week for grooming and bathing (one of them is a bit oversized!). I’d love to care for your beloved pet. Although I can’t have pets of my own due to my wife’s allergies, this makes pet sitting my dream job! I regularly care for my father’s cat, Jack, traveling over an hour each way, so distance is not an issue for me. I work seasonally for a cemetery in Bloomington which leaves me laid off from December 1st to March 1st each year. So I am highly available in that 3 month span, and then on weekends during the rest of the year. I’m here to support you and your beloved pet. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and the people who care for them. When my wife mentioned pet sitting, I was excited to get involved right away. Dogs seem to love me, and cats generally tolerate me—which I think says a lot about my character! I’m reliable, trustworthy, and available when you need me. I’ve been caring for pets since I was young, helping neighbors with feeding, walking, and cleanup. I promise to provide the care and attention your pet deserves and be a great fit for you both!

“Kara is the best. She did a great job caring for both our older dog and our young, energetic and not yet fully-trained puppy. I highly recommend her. She clearly loves the animals.”

About: My pet care experience consists of having a dog throughout my childhood and adult years. I've always loved the companionship of owning a dog and also visiting or babysitting families and friends' dogs/cats. With having a dog comes a lot of responsibility and attention whether that's feeding, letting outside, physical activity, and training. I'm experienced in all of those qualities. The pet care that I will be using through the new dogs and cats I meet are the basics of giving treats, going for walks, and playing fetch or ball. Those basics are important and useful for dog caregivers because any dog would love the attention and care that you are giving them unconditionally. I'm also experienced in grooming with bathing the pet if needed. Whether that's outside with a hose and soap or inside in a bathtub. Dogs are my best friends and should be treated with love and companionship therefore I would treat the dog and make sure they are happy and comfortable but also safe and calm at all times. My schedule is very flexible and in the case of babysitting or walking a dog, I will be attentive and responsible. Since I currently have a dog at home I take her outside frequently, stay outside with her and walk around the backyard or throw a toy and play fetch or even just sit in the grass and give her belly rubs. My daily routine consists of letting my dog outside and hanging out with her off and on while also letting her have time to rest and chill by herself. My weekly routine is the same as my daily routine aside from additional car rides, pup cups, or cousin visits with other dogs. The safety, trust & Environment of the care for the pet in my home and or my client's home will consist of making sure all doors are shut when entering and exiting the home or garage. Also making sure the dog is on a leash and well equipped when walking through a neighborhood. I also have a fenced-in yard so I'm experienced with fences and the proper precautions if needed. I can easily create your dog too if needed. Also water supply and refilling the water bowl as needed and giving supplements or medicine also. Also will have the clients contact information in case of emergency.

About: I have 3 German shepherds, and I know how much care goes into making sure they are well-fed, trained, and taken care of. Your pets are family, and I would treat them as though they were my own. I also am a runner, and I run with my own dogs - up to 3 at a time (size and temperament dependent). If you have a dog who loves to run (or who needs to), I would love to have them join the crew. I also do graphic design work specifically for people and their animals. Happy to produce some pictures for you for an additional fee! I generally can do morning and PM visits for the pets! My schedule is NOT a 9-5, but I work around what I need to. Spending time with the pets is my favorite work I do! I treat every animal as if they were my own. That means lots of play time, attention, and overall just good fun. That being said, if you have house rules, then we will follow them accordingly.

About: My name is Laura. I have been a dog owner my whole life. I have been a Rover sitter on and off for about 5 years and would love to take care of your fur babies while you are out of town. I have owned several special needs animals and am good at working with animals of all temperments. I have experience dealing with dogs of all ages and sizes. I especially love caring for older dogs who may need a little extra care and attention. I have worked with large groups of dogs and am willing to take care of several at a time if you have a large pet family. I have open availability and would love to play with your dog and make sure they are well taken care of. I have a full time job with flexibility. As long as I have about a weeks notice it should not be a problem to accommodate weekday visits to pets. Weekends are no problem. I like to do an initial house visit with the owner to get an idea of what the house looks like and where the pet is comfortable. If we cannot get a face to face meeting first please message me with detailed care instructions to ensure proper care for your pet.

About: I have always had dogs growing up. Now I have 3 of my own! I do have extensive history caring for dogs outside of my own, I have worked in a shelter environment for quite some time. I do have complete experience in knowing how to manage multiple dogs and multiple dog personalities and breeds. I will care for your dog beyond measure and show them so much love! My ultimate goal is to have my own dog rescue. I will have mostly open availability during the week, so please feel free to reach out with date requests! I am free anytime on the weekends. I will care for your pup in whatever ways you request. Whether that is in my home stays or house sitting in the environment they are comfortable with!

“Shelbie was a Godsend to us. We trusted her with our baby and to stay in our home. She was wonderful with both our dog and our home. We would recommend her and we will keep her a part of our ‘pack’ for as long as she is wanting to! Finding someone you trust is hard and we are so grateful we found Shelbie!”

About: I have always loved dogs! I have lots of time and energy to play with all kinds of dogs.I love to be outdoors, and love to go hiking especially with a cute 4 legged companion. I play many sports, and I love to throw the ball around! So I have no problem playing fetch for long periods of time. I am available 7 days a week. I will give each dog love and affection! I have had dogs all of my life, and know they hold an irreplaceable spot in our hearts. I have always been the go to pet sitter for my whole family, and I have been doing it since I was about 8 years old. I have experience bathing, blow drying, and brushing dogs hair. My dream job would be to walk, play, and cuddle dogs all day. I just moved to Peoria, so me and my dog Jimmy spend lots of our time checking out new spots on all trails, and going to new parks for walkies! I love walking and being outdoors. I never skip a walk no matter the weather so exercise and sniffs will be a daily routine! Great at following instructions for your dogs needs. I will always treat your pup like it’s my own. I want owners and dogs to have the best time!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish from the ripe age of 10! I have had animals from the size of teacup yorkies to the size of Rottweilers so size doesn’t challenge me. I currently work full time Sunday-Wednesday and find myself with a lot of free time the rest of the week so I’d love to get to play and help with your best friend as much as I’m able to get I am able to follow all the rules you provide with your best friend and am able to accommodate with any requests to keep you stress free!

About: I’ve worked as a vet tech for two years, caring for animals of all kinds — from large dogs to tiny exotics! I helped with boarding, feeding, walking, baths, and giving medications, so I’m very comfortable handling pets with different needs. I’ve had dogs my whole life, and I truly love making them feel happy and safe while their owners are away. 😁🤎 I work full time, but my schedule allows plenty of time for pet care — I’m off Mondays and weekends, available after 5 PM on weekdays, and after 2 PM on Fridays. I don’t have any pets of my own right now, so I’d love to fill that space in my life by spending time with other people’s furry friends! I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s specific routine — including feeding, walks, medication, and playtime — and always pay attention to their behavior and needs. My vet tech experience helps me notice small details that keep pets healthy and happy.
