Dog Sitting in Galena

“Gina is fantastic. She communicates everything and went above and beyond with our dachshund. It was wonderful to know someone with vet experience was helping to take care of her as she recovers from an injury.”

About: I have 9 years of experience caring for pets of all sizes and breeds. I’m skilled in administering medication, understanding pet behavior, and providing a safe, loving environment. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and small animals, ensuring each pet feels comfortable and happy while their owners are away. Neighbors, friends and families have relied on me to check in and play with their pets always pleased upon their return! Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities! I am currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets! I am available for boarding anytime as well as in house pet sitting! I currently have one cat who is used to dogs coming over to play, and will ensure your pets have the environment to play as well as be safe and healthy!

“Noah took great care of the pups while we were gone! Thank you!”

About: Raised with dogs of every size and personality, from couch potatoes to chaos gremlins, I’ll treat your pup with care, attention, and lots of positive energy. As a teacher, I’m available anytime all summer, with a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, reliable care and attention for pets throughout the day. I follow each pet’s routine closely, providing feeding, walks, playtime, and comfort. I keep spaces clean, safe, and ensure pets feel calm, cared for, and secure.

About: Growing up with rescues and shelter dogs, ranging from 20-100lbs, I’ve always had a love for dogs. No matter what experience or pasts they have come from, I was always quick to form a bond with each pet my family and I have. Whether you are looking for someone to care for a senior dog needing a bit more patience and attention to medical needs, or an active and alert, playtime companion…you’ve found it with me! I have cared for family pets needing a special diet, set schedule and daily walks—to friends, coworkers and outside referrals for overnight stays or check in’s, and my favorite- walks! I believe that exercise is the best medicine and not to worry if your dog has certain triggers or lacks some leash manners. I can tailor walks to what your dog needs and enjoys. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I currently work in the office on a hybrid schedule 3x per week, so I have some flexibility during the week with times I can check in, and evenings are easy to schedule. My weekends are almost always available! In my home, I have a Pit/husky mix. However over the 8 years of being my own dog parent, I have hosted German shepards, Belgian malinois, hounds, and other pitbull mixes. I know how to administer medications and apply topical ointments if needed. I also understand if your pet(s) need certain accommodations or requests like avoiding other dogs on walks, and certain things he or she likes or doesn’t like.

About: I have owned, fostered, and volunteered with animals for over 10 years. Not only that, I have experience with providing animal therapy in a clinical setting for the last two years. Dogs and cats hold a big piece of my heart and I genuinely love to accommodate to their needs. I have experience raising puppies and kittens, taking care of elderly cats and dogs, and dogs and cats that have behavioral problems. I am familiar on how to care for dogs that have aggressive tendencies, anxiety, and hip problems. Likewise, I have experience handling cats with aggression and timidness. I am a small business owner and have days where I work from home. I could use that time to not only make extra money, but spend time with dogs and cats as well! I make sure to provide as much affection, activity, and attention to my pets to the best of my ability. Which I ensure the same treatment is given to your pets too. Depending on what service you would like me to provide, I am more than happy to go on long walks with your dog, offer enrichment, or maybe you have a lapdog that just needs a temporary companion. I am dependable and have the experience and genuine care and trust to ensure your pet has the best experience possible.

“Carina was super quick to respond to my questions/concerns/inquiries. She sent lots of pictures, followed requests for my dogs care and was overall extremely pleasant to work with. 10/10 would recommend Carina for all your pet care!”

About: Hey guys! My name is Sam and I love dogs and cats! I have volunteered at the Humane Society of Delaware County. Most of my pets have been rescued from the Humane Society, as well as surrounding rescues. I'm experienced with puppies-senior dogs, and there is no breed that I dislike! I am experienced with all ages of cats as well! I can handle newborns-senior cats. I work full time as a Radiologic Technologist, so please keep this in mind when requesting to book, as I’m not available for drop ins/walks during the weekdays until about 4:30-5 pm. Other than that, I’m available anytime after 5 and anytime on the weekends. I'm available to bathe dogs as needed, give medicine when needed, pretty much anything you need. I can do walks, drop in visits, and stay at your home if you're away for extended periods of time. I am experienced pet sitting from my parents friends pop in visits, over night stays, and anything else they may have needed. I hope that you’ll choose me to help you out. I'm excited to meet you and your fur babies! I am also a Duck mom, so I am able to help care for your ducks if you have them! I work a full time job from 7am-5:30pm, and have Thursdays off. Along with my Thursdays off, I do not work weekends. I do not accept pets in my home, but am willing and able to come to your home. I can easily crate your dog if needed while I’m away. I follow all of your routines laid out so that we can put the least amount of stress on your babies while you’re gone. Please know that your pet/pets will be very spoiled with love and affection while you are gone! I treat every client’s animals as if they were my own. I understand the stressors of traveling and leaving your babies in the hands of someone else while you’re away. Your pets will be in great hands while you’re away.

About: I grew up with both cats and dogs as well as living with both in my adult years. I do also have experience pet/house sitting in the past. I currently do not have a pet at the moment as my cat passed about a year ago. I am looking forward to be able to meet and get to play with cats and dogs! I do work full-time during the week but am available on the weekends for house-sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walking. I will open up availability for walking or drop-in visits during the evenings throughout the week. I will be able to watch your pets in your home as well as do drop-in visits in your home. This will include doing walks or playing.

About: I volunteer at an animal shelter and I have come into contact with a variety of dogs with different personalities and temperaments. I also have come into contact with a variety of cats with different personalities and temperaments. I scoop my cats litter boxes every morning. I also feed my kitten breakfast and change her water. Then in the evenings I feed both my cats Josie and Cookie. I also take my dogs for long walks in the afternoon. Pet care plays a role in my life every single day. For my cats I feed, change their water, and scoop their boxes. I also spend time playing with my cats with toys such lazer pointers. For my dogs I feed them and take them for walks. I also enjoy playing with my dogs such as tug of war or taking my dogs out for a jog. During volunteering I am in charge of feeding, supplying water, and exercising adult dogs and puppies.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience managing a diverse, multi-species household. I currently own and care for a 6-year-old beagle, a 10-year-old senior (and orange) cat, four guinea pigs, and two rescue rabbits. My daily life involves balancing a high-energy hound with the specialized care required for senior cats and small animals. Having managed this "mini-zoo" solo on numerous occasions, I am highly organized, observant of subtle health or behavioral changes, and strictly dedicated to following established routines. Whether your pet is a social pup or a shy rescue bunny, I pride myself on providing patient, attentive care that respects their boundaries and keeps them happy in the comfort of their own home. My schedule is highly flexible! As a college student taking online summer courses with only a very limited part-time retail job (1-2 shifts a week), I spend the vast majority of my day at home. This allows me to provide consistent companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention for your pets. As a Type A student, I approach pet care with a "safety-first" mindset. I am CPR and Heimlich certified, ensuring I can stay calm and act effectively in an emergency. My 3.6 GPA reflects my discipline; I follow your care instructions and medication schedules to the letter, treating your house rules as my top priority. I am diligent about double-checking locks, gates, and alarm systems to keep your home and pets secure. I also offer frequent photo updates and clear communication so you never have to wonder about your pet's well-being. My goal is to leave your home exactly as I found it and your pets more relaxed than when you left.

“Kristine is a wonderful communicator and cared for my pup just as well as I would. 🫶🏽”

About: I watch my parents dogs often and have grown up around animals for my whole life. I also watch friends dogs and will let them out during the week I work remotely, so most of the day when I don’t have any meetings with my clients, I am able to get out of the house and let out your dogs and play with them while you are away! I have a pet friendly apartment complex with a dog park in walking distance and a big green lot for the dogs to play and use the bathroom.

“Regan was great! She is very consistent and gives thorough updates. Would definitely reach out to her in the future for any pet sitting needs!”

About: I’ve always had dogs my whole life and am able to build a special connection with them! I can’t wait to build connections with more dogs, cats, and other pets! I am currently a college student home for the summer with lots of free time to care for pets!! I am only working a remote internship so my schedule is very flexible! Pets are just as important as people and are family! I make sure to treat my pets and others with care and respect, while also making sure they’re having fun and behaving well! Being the owner of a high energy dog myself, I am well aware of safety considerations as well!

“Corrinn did a great job with our cats! She was very responsive, always made sure to keep us updated, and sent plenty of pictures. We knew our fur babies were in great hands with Corrinn!”
