“Erika did a nice job of handling Skip, who can be a handful. She was responsive to me when I reached out and sent pictures. The house was neat and tidy when I got home. I was grateful for her work and already have her scheduled for the end of the month.”


“My Bella loved Ann the moment they met. Ann was responsible, respectful , kind and calm. I will definitely trust and ask Ann to watch my fur baby again when we go away! She was on time and sent me photos and updates. Thank you so much !!”


“I booked Megan for a second time. This time was for a long weekend trip and she was again amazing with my pup. Stuck to his walk and food schedule. Included photos of my pup while I was away. Communication was strong and I didn’t have to worry about anything while on vacation. 100% recommend!”


“Lisa did an absolutely amazing job watching our fur babies while we were out of town on a trip. She was helpful, communicative, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to very happy babies, and a few special treats she left as well. So thoughtful! She even took trash out and put dishes away. Definitely went above and beyond our expectations. Looking forward to having her house sit again for us and would absolutely recommend. Thanks Lisa!”


About: I’ve been around animals my whole life; dogs, cats, ducks, and more. I love being able to provide a safe and peaceful experience for any type of pet! I’m currently caring for my disabled mom. I have the flexibility and availability to help out any time of day. Whether it’s walking, sitting, or check-ins. I currently have two big dogs, Bubba and Rufus. I’ve had both since they were puppies and have used positive reinforcement training to now have both well socialized and very good boys.

“Kellie was so great with our boy, Tyson for a weekend. She communicated clearly before the trip, during our trip (we loved the updates!), and after. She was respectful of our home and a perfect house guest. Tyson was immediately comfortable with her and we were so comforted knowing he was not only being taken care of, but really loved on, while we were gone. We will absolutely use Kellie in the future, if possible.”


“Ivy really went above and beyond for me today and honestly saved my trip from the beginning. I needed to leave a day earlier than I originally planned and Ivy accommodated a booking into her schedule a day earlier. When she arrived (on time both times) however my gremlin of a dog gave her 30-45 minutes of terror in which she sat on the floor to show she wasn’t a threat. We communicated and agreed she’d try again a couple hours later after he finished a bone I stupidly gave him before I walked out of the door. Her patience and skill kept me from having to turn around and drive 6 hours home and cancel my trip. When she came back he acted as a grown dog and she was able to walk and feed him! Based on these events I would hire Ivy again and suggest her to other pet parents.”


About: I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, love, and lots of play! What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a gentler touch. Hi! I’m a part-time worker at an pharmacy and nursing student at NIU with a flexible schedule and a big heart for animals. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine, and I truly enjoy spending time with pets, it’s a fun and relaxing break from school and work. I’m reliable, responsible, and bring the same care and attention to animals as I do in my nursing studies. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle session, or just keeping them company while you’re away, your pets will be in loving hands! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will try to stick closely to their usual routine feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I will make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and stress free while you’re away. I always keep things clean, stay respectful of your space, and give your pet the attention they need to feel comfortable. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, or just quiet company, I adapt to their needs and personality to ensure they’re happy and well cared for.

About: I am the biggest animal lover. I am always putting their needs above mine. I am a huge dog lover but wouldn’t mind helping out with cats. My friends always joke that I am the person who people come to when there are lost dogs on Facebook. I will hop right into my Jeep and go out looking! I have three dogs of my own and if I could have a million I would.😊 I am a hairstylist so my schedule is kind of tricky. I can work around these hours below. :) My work hours are: Monday 8-4 Tuesdays 2-9 Wednesdays 2-9 Thursdays 8-4 Fridays off Saturdays 8-4 Sundays off If watching your pet in your home I will be extra careful when letting them out. If a fenced yard, I will always make sure that the fence is secure and the animals cannot get out.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was a teenager. Pets that belonged to my sister to pets that have belonged to my neighbors. I have experience feeding and walking dogs. I'm currently in between jobs at the moment, but that'll change in a little while. So, take advantage while you can. Of course, when I do get a job, I'll still make time to care for your pet! I'm always dependable to feed your pet on time and walk your pet for however long is needed. I also enjoy playing and interacting with your pet.

“My wife and I really adore Angela. She is extremely professional and caring towards our boys. We don’t look at them as pets, they are family members and this is exactly how Angela treated them. We were able to go away with the peace of mind that our boys and home were looked after and in good hands. Thank you Angela and we look forward to seeing you again. Kate & Derek”
