Dog Sitting Galesburg

About: Hello! My name is Arica. I have been taking care of pets for many years. I love animals, especially dogs. I don’t have any kids and most of my time is spent at home. I do have a job but it is all remote and I can control the days and hours I work. I will treat your fur babies like my own and will make sure your house is looking as good as you left it. If you agree to let me take care of your babies I will do the best in my power to make sure they are safe and comfortable. Message me if you have any questions. Thank you 😊 I work for a company that is remote. I have full control of the scheduling and when I work. So there would be no problem fitting it in to my routine! I make sure to treat them like family. I take care of the home as well. I would follow all of owners guidelines for walks, crating, and administering medication. Always making sure your pup is safe, having a tight hold onto leashes when walking!

“Finding someone to watch my fur babies is always stressful. I appreciated being able to count on Rachel. My pups looked happy while we were away! I enjoyed all the photos.”

“Vanessa was great with my animals. Kept me informed of what was going on and my dog definitely enjoyed the time with her!”

Andrew K.

“We had a fantastic experience with Chelsey! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my cat Fauna. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while away for the holidays. Fauna was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned. I appreciate Chelsey’s attention, kindness, and professionalism, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter.”

About: With all the love I have for my friends' fury babies, I feel that I can share the love with all fury babies in the city of Kalamazoo. I would love to own a puppy of my own, but my living situation doesn't allow for it. Life is crazy and if I can help take a small weight off your shoulders, it would be a win-win situation. Not only will you not have to worry about your four-legged friend, but I will enjoy spending time getting to know your dog. Being a recent college graduate taking a year off before attending graduate school, scheduling will not be an issue. God gave us two hands to pet two dogs at once. I would love to love your babies!

About: I have watched cats and dogs since I was a child for family, friends and neighbors. I enjoy watching their personalities when they are excited I am currently doing an online course and have plenty of time to play with your animal babies. I can spend time with your babies as needed I would come in a take them for walks feed and play with them if needed. Give them lots of of love and treats when needed

“Farrell came and helped take Jaxon out and care for him while I was away and she did a fantastic job! Great at communicating, sharing photos and updates. 100% would book her again!”

“Eden was fantastic, he traveled on bad roads to make sure our cats were well cared for. He always communicates well and sends me photos and updates while we are traveling! Thank you, Eden”

“Leaving my fur family behind while traveling causes great anxiety for me... hoping that they're properly being cared for while away. Ashley was super friendly, extremely communicative and sent the best pictures every day. As long as she's around, I will continue to hire her every time I need to leave town. Thank you Ashley!!”

About: I am an avid pet person and have worked numerous pet related jobs. I am certified in dog & cat first aid, dog behavior, and group play supervision. Making sure your pets are safe and happy is my number one priority. I make a promise to my clients that I will be punctual and care for their pets as I care for my own. I am available weekly for whatever you may need. I am also willing to do overnight sitting if your furry friend needs a hand to hold at night. I treat your pets as if they were my own. This means keeping up with their hygiene, their own schedule, and making sure they are happy and healthy. Leaving your pet can be nerve wracking but trust that they are in good hands with me.

“Madyson was able to come over on a very short notice to feed Benni dinner and take him out for a potty break. I would definitely hire her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds my whole life. For the past seven years, I’ve worked in the veterinary medicine field. Your pets will be in great hands with me! Dogs, cats, chickens, horses, reptiles… You name it! I’ll provide the best possible care for your pets! Making sure your pets are properly cared for is very important to me. Despite being a full-time employee, I will always make time for pet care. I am an animal lover! I will follow care instructions to a tee, ensure the pet’s safety at all times, and give the pet lots of love and attention. When owners go away, pets can get stressed or nervous. I’ll do everything in my power to ensure their comfort during your time away!

About: I have previously taken care of pets for close family friends when I was in undergrad and I miss it dearly. Getting to know your pet(s) and the type of routines and care they need is something I respect and take seriously. Bringing comfort and joy to pets is a fulfilling and worthwhile occupation I enjoy. (It’s also a great way for me to destress as a graduate student!) I am currently a second-year graduate student at Western Michigan University studying occupational therapy. I am open and willing to accept bookings for both house sitting and drop-in requests. Although I am a full-time student, I am available to accept drop-in requests throughout the week on Tuesdays up to 1pm and after 3pm; Wednesday afternoons; and Friday afternoons. As for house sitting requests, I am available for weekend bookings. Should anything change or come up, I am happy to communicate with you on those changes. Like humans, every pet has his/her own specific needs and requirements when it comes to needing top-quality care. My goal as a pet sitter is to get to know both the family and the pet, through building positive relationships and learning about each pet’s specific needs and routines. I strive to bring comfort and joy to each pet I encounter while their humans are away.

About: I went to school to be a veterinary assistant so I’m quite knowledgeable in animals and basic first aid. I love all animals and im responsible. I currently only work 4 days so I’m more than available at anytime I’m off. I also work at 2 so I could always do a little bit in the morning I live out in the country so I never have to worry about my dog getting out and getting hurt. I also love running so if your doggo wants to, too they can.

About: I work very well with all types of dogs and or puppies. I enjoy being around dogs and giving them my attention! I love teaching dogs new tricks, such as roll over, shake, hi-fives. I’m very good at rewarding dogs for good behavior if allowed by owner! I love playing with dogs and running around seeing how energetic they can be. I think I would be good candidate to dog sit or walk your dog because I’ve had pet dogs throughout my whole life and they bring me joy, I love to get to know the different personalities of each dog and learn what their dislikes and what their likes are. If you pick me I’m looking forward to meet your puppy, dog, or even cat (I love cats as well!).

About: I have been taking care of & rescuing animals my whole life from cats dogs to birds gerbils and mice. I grew up on a country drive surrounded by friends and family who all had animals. I would bring my next door neighbor’s cat who was usually outdoors, back home with me just to make sure she was safe while he was away. On our drive we had a golden lab, a ridgeback, Pomeranians & chihuahuas- many personalities and sizes. I help TNR (trap neuter release) in my city to help stray cats & have learned so much about behavior, handling & caring for even “feral” animals. I’ve had friends text me last minute in regards to baby sitting a new puppy they got or simply checking in on their senior dog because they know this is never a burden for me but something I love to do! There are 3 dogs & 4 cats at our home who always have enrichment surrounding them, get plenty of play time & supervised outdoor enrichment (I don’t ever let my cats outside to roam). They get professionally groomed, teeth cleaned, nails trimmed, we have lavender pet diffusers, salmon oil, meal toppers etc. our pets comfort & care is not taken lighting in my home & it certainly will never be taken lightly in yours! In addition to my care for animals, I have handled injured wild birds & either rehabilitated them or seeked a professional rehab to get them care. I rescued a baby squirrel found in the road & got it rehabbed, I’ve rehomed 3 litter of kittens & 2 momma cats that were strays. Animals have always been my top priority & concern, you will never have to question if yours is in loving hands. As of right now I am currently not doing any other work & am hoping to turn this into a full time job with families who get to know me & want me to be there forever sitter! I will have an open schedule until further notice making me an extremely flexible option for owners seeking care. When it comes to me you will constantly get updates, communication & pictures unless you tell me otherwise! If I’m unsure of something I will always ask rather than just doing. I am one the loves to engage, give company & keep them in supervision. You're not gonna get a sitter who just sits on their phone ignoring your pet the whole time but rather someone who wants to get to know your pet! I love playing, entertaining, cuddling & don’t mind getting a little dirty for sake of establishing & earning a trusted relationship with the animals I care for! I love lists or details about specific needs or schedules so I can give the upmost care & comfort to the pets and owners.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a young girl. I have had two dogs growing up, a miniature schnauzer and a beagle. I have paid close attention to their every need, cared for them, played with them and of course made them feel loved. I have watched my neighbors dog while they were oh vacation. I have also taken care of my friends dogs. I am a dog mom and a lover of dogs who has a lot of experience taking care of them. I love it! I am currently working part time so I will have a lot of free time to care for, play with and walk dogs. They will have my attention and focus. I have a beagle who is one. There is space for them to play together and I live 2 minutes from a huge dog park where they can let out their energy and have even more space to run free. If you like your dog separated I can have mine in her gated area :)

About: Helloo! My name is Sophia and I’m an artist, rock climber, cat mom, & dog mom! I adopted a very anxious Boxer mix while finding cats in need along the way. I take care of my doggo & seven lively cats. I’ve loved animals all of my life & I’m excited to help care for yours! I’m a server and art business owner. Most of my days & evenings are free, my work is part time so my schedule is much more open! Every animal has different needs but whatever those needs may be, they’ll always be taken care of. My top priority is to be a safe space when the kids are away from their parents!
