About: I’ve had animals my whole life and love interacting with them and spending my time with them! Whether that’s just sitting around or being outside playing/walking! I’m very much an animal person! I work full time but 12 hour shifts so I only work 3 days a week. My work schedule is 7AM-7:30PM. I can wake up early to let them out and feed them and can take care of them when I get home but on my days off my attention goes to them when needed! I make sure I listen to exactly when and how the pets need to be cared for. I don’t over push the walks or the play time. I make sure if I am staying in the clients house that I keep it clean and listen to their rules and expectation for me staying. I also make sure I communicate often and keep up with updates to the clients.

I have multiple litter boxes for your cat needs. I will treat your babies with the utmost love and respect!
About: I've been asked to care for many neighborhood dogs and cats. I have two of my own dogs that get daily walks, home grooming and lots of love. I work school hours and would be available to care for your pet mostly on weekends, evenings, and days off including holiday and summer break. I consider myself very trustworthy and responsible. I would care for your dog/dogs by feeding, watering, walking, and playing with them. As well as cleaning up after them. I would feed, water, socialize and clean litter box if needed for a cat.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. The last 5 years I’ve had more experience with all kinds of breeds and sizes! Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and look after their pets! I am current a college student and my late afternoons, evenings, and weekends are open to new clients for needs such as dog walking or checking ins. Based on the clients needs and rules of their household for their pet. The pet is given the upmost respectful treatment, loved on, and spoiled!
About: Lifelong animal lover, partly raised on a farm, who’s taken care of domestic animal friends for fifteen years or better (cats, dogs, hamsters, mice, prairie dogs, rabbits, rats, etc.), currently cohabitating with two feline tuxedo friends a decade apart in age who enrich my existence. Work part-time in specialized, diversified retail, otherwise freelance (gig work, journalism, music industry -related tasks, et. al.), with a flexible schedule for early mornings, evenings, and weekends. Currently only available for offsite care—as I live in a modest apartment—while exercising discretion, security, respect, and cleanliness. My own pets are low maintenance, so available for mornings, evenings, or overnight, but not full-time offsite.
About: I’ve taken care of an age range from puppy to senior. Raised my own dog from newborn to a year old in a fostering situation. But have also walked neighbors dogs as well. I’m currently a sophomore in college taking courses over summer time. So with this different format of work I’ll be able to help out and also focus on school. For drop-ins, I am comfortable with fenced & unfenced with leash. I am comfortable with playing, feeding, administering oral/ear medicine if needed, and taking for walks.
About: I have had pets my whole life and believe they're an intrical part of the family. I'm currently fostering an adult pitty whom I love very much. I want your pet safe and your mind at ease while you're away from them. I love ALL animals and take care of water, food, play, love, mail, trash and anything else you may need. As a pet owner it's important to make their care a priority in my life. Lots of ball is played and many walks. As long as they're safe and happy. We live on the Fox River and our dogs love to swim, play and fish with me. Their happiness is also mine. Whatever it takes.
About: I have spent my whole life loving and caring for all kinds of animals. Dogs, cats, horses, snakes, turtles, rabbits, birds, you name it! I love animals and would love to care for yours :) I have a hybrid position at work, so I am in-office 3 days a week, but I have time outside of that to care for any animals that need it! I have a 3 year old Standard Australian Shepherd, Sunny and chunky cat named Mittens who I just adore! I care for them daily, feeding, playing, brushing, giving treats and training. I love training my dog Sunny to do cool tricks. I care for my sisters Maine Coon and tabby cat and my other sisters horses when they're away. I do my best to make sure they're comfortable and feel loved as though they are my own.

Holly H.
“I can't recommend Holly enough! She is absolutely the best with my little dog, Max. From the very first moment, it was clear that she treats him like her own. Max immediately became a part of her family, and I could see how much care and attention she gave him. Whether it was going on walks, playing his favorite games, or just cuddling on the couch, Holly always made sure he was comfortable and happy. It's such a relief knowing that Max is in such loving hands when I’m away. Holly’s genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does, and I truly feel like he’s not just being cared for, but also loved and cherished. If you’re looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter, Holly is definitely the one you can count on!”
