About: With over a decade of hands-on pet care experience, I have cared for both cats and dogs, raising them separately and together. I specialize in senior pet care, including administering medication, and have trained puppies in manners and potty training. Additionally, I am certified in nail trimming through Paragon’s Nails and Ears Technician Program, ensuring safe and stress-free nail trim. What makes me a great dog sitter is my deep understanding of canine behavior, patience, and commitment to providing a safe and loving environment. I tailor my approach to meet each pet’s unique needs. I prioritize trust, consistency, and communication with pet owners, ensuring peace of mind while their furry friends are in my care. My goal is to create a positive, stress-free experience for both dogs and their owners. Pet care is a top priority in my daily and weekly routine. I am available throughout the week and on weekends, with the exception of Wednesdays, when I have prior commitments. I strive to be as flexible as possible to accommodate pet owners' needs. To ensure the best care and scheduling, I kindly ask for a few days' notice before finalizing any bookings. This allows me to plan accordingly and provide the highest level of attention and care for your pet. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust to ensure your pet feels secure and happy. Though I live in an apartment, I have a dedicated, cozy space where your pet can feel at home. I provide scheduled potty breaks and walks (weather permitting) while keeping their routine consistent. Extra treats and toys will be available, but I also take great care to respect and protect any belongings you provide. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will follow their daily routine to minimize stress and ensure their comfort. I treat every home with respect, leaving it just as I found it. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels cared for, whether at home or away

About: I used to live on a ranch including dogs and cats. I’ve had many years of caring for them and when anything happens to them, I’m the first one that gets called to get asked what they can do to help them. I am full time Monday-Friday but I would love to take care of your pets after! Anytime after 4:30 will be the best time I can come after work but on the days I’m off, anytime works Whatever the rules are, I will follow them. If dogs are needed to be crated at a certain time, I can do that and if they need free time constantly then I am all for that as well.

About: I have had the privilege of pet sitting for several families in my hometown of Galesburg IL since I was 16. I have experience taking care of both dogs and cats, and have experience caring for disabled and senior dogs. I have weekday, weeknight, and weekend availability through the end of July in Galesburg and the surrounding areas. I also offer overnight stays if needed! I am very attentive to the security of your home. I always check and double check every door is locked before leaving. I am no stranger to detailed care routines, and I always follow routines exactly as told! As a creature of habit myself, your pets schedules are very important to me!

About: I love dogs!! I live alone and it's nice to have company. Be sure I like to spoil them and take care of all their needs. I usually make appointments as early as possible so I can be free for daytime hours. I babysit my great nephew who's 4 and can come with me too. I have a fenced in back yard and lots of walking paths in my home. They are welcomed on the furniture if you don't mind.

About: I’ve always had such a love for all animals! I can follow strict requirements for animals! I am kind and respectful and will go above and beyond for all animals. :) I am currently a full time student looking for some extra cash on the side. I do mostly online classes and I am very flexible if needed! I don’t have any pets at my home, clean space. I don’t have a crate at my house if one is needed so I would have to have one provided if the animal will need one! I don’t have a fenced in yard so all outside time will need to be done on a leash!

About: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician who loves pets of all species and sizes! I have 4 years of experience in the veterinary field with 2 years of veterinary technician schooling. I have had a dog since I was around 4 or 5 and ever since then I have loved animals beyond measure! I have pet sat for multiple people in my area. I can accurately feed, medicate, walk, bathe, bandage, recognize signs of emergency, perform CPR (in only the most extreme cases), etc for any pet needed I will soon be home a lot more often. While I do have to take care of my pets at home, I will be free most days through the week and I can do overnights on occasion. I am not comfortable bringing other pets into my home to meet my animals due to them being easily stressed. I will happily walk, spend the day with, snuggle your pets in your home or in public.

Ashlee has taken care of my baby girl, Fiona, over the last couple years. My Dog can be a little territorial and has her weird little quirks but that didn’t matter, Ashlee went above and beyond making sure she did whatever needed to allow my dog to be comfortable with her. I would fully recommend Ashlee for your fur babies needs! Not only is she great with my dog, she is an amazing dog/cat (even fish) mom herself!!

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to highly recommend Mia as a dog sitter. Over the past two years, Mia has taken exceptional care of my dog, Marley and I have been consistently impressed with their dedication and professionalism. Mia is incredibly reliable and always punctual. She has a genuine love for animals, which is evident in the way she interacts with my dog. Marley absolutely adores Mia and is always excited to see her. Mia is attentive to Marley’s needs, ensuring she is well-fed, exercised, and mentally stimulated. One of the things I appreciate most about Mia is her excellent communication. She provides regular updates and photos, which gives me peace of mind knowing that Marley is in good hands. Additionally, Mia is very responsible and trustworthy, always making sure my home is secure and clean after each visit. I wholeheartedly recommend Mia to anyone in need of a caring and dependable dog sitter. They have truly been a blessing for both me and Marley.
