About: I have cared for pets of my own and friends for over 25 years. I look forward to assisting you with your pet needs while you are away! I am currently working a flexible job that allows me to satisfy almost any schedule needs for your furry family member. I am excited for the opportunity to serve. I am very detail oriented, I am able to follow your instructions well, or if you just want to provide a simple list of feeding times and amounts, I can make up the rest as we go. I love to walk and play with your pet.

About: I have had pets since was teenager. So lots of experience taking care of animals big and small. I am caring, and know how to keep animals focused on the walk. Will come and visit your pet and take them out to potty as well play fetch with them or just play. Make sure all is good with them. Always avoid any confrontation with any unknown dogs and any other animals so no harm will come to your pet. Always walk them on sidewalk if is one and in all cases never leave alone to get into the street or come to any harm at all. And above all else care for them as though they were mine and make sure they are well taken care of.

“Jeremiah has been so wonderful with walking my dogs. They really look forward to it and it gives me peace of mind that they are getting the attention and exercise they need. He is so friendly, reliable and really loves animals, like I do.”

I am currently working part time as a nanny and looking to add more pet sitting clients to my workload!

I always love to spend quality time with the animals I am caring for, it helps them to become more comfortable and makes it more enjoyable for me as well!

About: I have spent my entire life caring for animals. Throughout my life I have had many animals from birds and Guinea pigs to cats and dogs. Koda, my youngest dog was completely trained by me in German commands. Working with dogs to learn new things is one of my favorite things to do. My oldest dog, Motley is a senior and the past couple years I have become very educated and trained on administration of medication and post surgery care. With experience from my own pets, I have many reliable references I have gained over the years that can vouch for me on my loving, dedicated, and superior care with their fur babies. I am currently a nanny and have almost completely open availability. I work Monday through Thursday during the day but can still do visits anytime! And I’m off Friday through Sunday so anytime those days as well! When visiting your home I am happy to provide any services you may need for your pet.

About: I have been an animal lover since I was a kid. Rescuing chickens, rabbits, cats, horses - you name it! In my adult life, I took some time away from pets while obtaining my Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry. The first thing I did after relocating to Decatur, IL for my job, was adopt an unwanted adult shelter cat that resided at Animal Control for months, Spider. He is still with me - 11 years later. I have learned the reasons why Spider was surrendered. It inspired me to get involved with animal rescue in the community. I have adopted and fostered puppies, dogs, kittens, and cats. I have probably dealt with nearly every type of cat or most cat disabilities at this point - and if not, am extremely willing and able to learn. My feline resume includes sight and hearing impaired, sick, diabetes, incontinence, behavioral issues, MORE... I am a huge believer of positive reinforcement training for dogs. If you follow dominance training or negative reprimanding, we will not get along. I have taken two doggos through AKC CGC certification awards and other courses. My personal dog, Timber, suffers from several health issues including hypertension - which caused enucleation of both eyes; chronic rhinitis; and gingival hyperplasia. I am very used to paying attention to the subtle signs of dogs when medical issues arise. Currently, i am working from home, but transitioning back to in-person office work soon. When I return back to work, my schedule does offer a lunch break and reasonable flexibility. Interestingly, all of my puppy fostering has been pre-COVID/work-from-home! My home offers a fenced-in yard. We always walk pets on-leash. In side the home, we have options for crating and our home has several doors to close off rooms to create separate safe spaces, if needed. We also have several baby gates. Crating is very useful for at least feeding times. Our resident dog, Timber, eats in his crate, and he is trained to go there if he gets stressed - even though he is blind. I can often watch cats here in a spare room. Although, I do think cats are happiest at their homes with daily visits, if an option. In a client home, I would like to try to stick the schedule the pets are used to. Arranging a visit to understand the home layout, where things are kept, and meeting the pets are very important to me. I am happy to arrange multiple visits or stay at the house, depending on the needs of the clients and pet(s).

About: I had my own dog once until he passed away since then i have not been able to get another one but instead i used my time to take care of others my moms, neighbors and friends to still share my time and love i have for pets.

About: I have had dogs ( and a few cats) my entire life. I am a big believer in rescue so my pets come to me with a variety of issues. We have always worked thru those issues. I have had recent experience with elderly dogs as my 3 dogs were all elderly with medical conditions. Two have since crossed over the bridge. I currently have a very friendly, and laid back Shih Tzu mix. He is 15 years old. The other 2 passed away within 6 months of each other so he misses being around other dogs. We are retired with a fenced in yard so we woukd be home all day with the dogs. I am retired with a fenced in yard so we woukd be home all day with the dogs.
