Pet Sitting Gold Camp

About: Hello! I enjoy hanging out with animals while closely watching their behavior to ensure they are safe and happy! I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember Currently available most hours of the day and weekends as needed. Have a reliable mode of transportation and willing to take the extra step in assisting where I can. In my home I have kennels if needed if not that’s also fine. I have a private gated backyard that has turf grass and some concrete. My home is baby proofed and tiled to ensure cleanliness.

“Therese did an exceptional job of taking care of my dog. She was reliable and prompt, but more importantly, she cared about my fur-baby. She kept me informed of how the visit went. I will use her going forward and highly recommend her services.”

About: Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a pet parent to two dogs, Duke and Smokey, and my cat, Zuri. I’ve also cared for family pets, so I know how much it means to have someone you trust looking after them. I’m playful and loving, but I also pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. I’ll follow your instructions, keep you updated, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Pet care is already part of my daily life with my two dogs and cat. I make time for feeding, walks, play, and plenty of attention. My availability can vary, so please send me the dates and times you need. I’ll let you know if I’m available and make sure I can give your pet the time they deserve. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and any instructions you leave for feeding, walks, medication, and safety. I’ll pay attention to their comfort and behavior, and I’ll send you updates so you know how they’re doing. I have two dogs and a cat at home, so please tell me how your pet does around other animals if you’re interested in care at my place.

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience and genuine love for both dogs and cats. I currently work with dogs regularly and have four cats and one dog of my own. I’ve also spent time as a foster for cats, so I’m familiar with a wide range of personalities and special needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, and providing lots of individualized attention and affection. Whether it’s playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking to special routines, I’m dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away I am free all day to focus on pet care. This schedule allows me to provide attentive playtime, walks, feeding, and cuddles without rushing. I’m fully available to give extra care and attention to your pets, making sure they feel happy and comfortable When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine to help reduce any stress your pet may feel while you’re away. I follow your instructions carefully whether it’s feeding times, medication schedules, or favorite play activities and make sure the environment stays clean and secure. I respect your pet’s space and personality, moving at their pace to build trust and keep them happy. Regular updates help you feel connected, and I treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would my own.

“I was pleased with Karsyn taking care of my Maggie while I was gone for a few days over Thanksgiving, She arrived on time and stayed the hour that she was assigned. She made sure to send me pictures and updates on the days she was here. I used her as a drop in caregiver for just a few days to cover during the days my regular sitter wasn't available. The only problem I had was when I contacted her I didn't realize her profile information hadn't been updated. I wanted someone to do overnight coverage which she wasn't available to do since the birth of her little boy. It all worked out as I had another gal covering the rest of the time. She and Maggie seemed to get along just fine and she was reliable. I would use her again without hesitation.”

About: As a former junior dog musher I have experience caring for everything from four legged athletes to total couch potatoes. I've cared for seniors, puppies, and all dogs in-between. I even have some experience with cats and birds! As an all around lover of pets and a dog owner myself, I understand that nothing is more important than knowing your furry family member is cared for while you're away. My schedule is typically very open as my other obligations are based online as a computer technology student. I am available any day of the week and most holidays. I will always walk dogs on a leash with a secure through the handle loop hold if they are outside in a non fenced space.

“Dj and his wife Lori were an absolute godsend dropping in and walking Princess. She is new to our home and learning to be more secure while we are at work. They are both extremely professional, caring, and provided us with reassurance and pictures. They even dealt with Princess breaking down her kennel door and rigged it so she couldn’t escape again. Thanks for helping out two nervous pet parents!”

About: We've been caring for pets since we were both about 5 years old, with Gary's grandparents owning a farm & ranch in Montana growing up. Karen's family bred poodles since she was born. We're good at training puppies, and adult dogs as well. We love playing fetch much of the day with our Tilly and will do what your pet loves as well! We've cared for HUGE birds, tiny birds, chickens, cats, dogs large and small, rabbits, cattle, horses and pigs. We have also administered various types of medicine and cared for different types of infections, teaching owners as well. We love to snuggle with them and give them lots of attention! I, Karen, am used to cooking holistic meals for our dog and will care for your pet according to your instructions as well. We enjoy walking them, swimming with them and petting them often. They deserve it! They rely on us for their WHOLE well-being. Consistency is so important for animals so we will respect and follow the plans you lay out for them. We can also gather mail, water plants, do housekeeping, organization, gardening and more. Gary is a great handyman should the need arise during a sit. He maintains our pool and irrigation systems and makes any repairs needed. We're truly a great team!❤️ This is our sole work so available most of the time! Of course it depends on the type of care you need and if it works along with another sit. For example, we could walk your dog daily and have an overnight sit that allows for a short leave for that. We are very attentive, loving and kind! Our goldendoodle Tilly is on a nice schedule for exercise, eating, supplements and only healthy treats. We keep her clean and always look her over for any wounds and whatnot. We keep a clean home with uplifting music for pets. Also, we're very cognizant of pet signals, like needing to go potty, play, snack, snuggle and wanting general attention. It's one of those things that you get blessed by for just BEING a blessing to them!💛

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 10, from my own pets to helping care for neighbors’ and family members’ pets. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, administering medication, and providing overnight care. Most importantly, I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care, and I’m always happy to give them the same attention and care I’d want for my own pets. I’m able to make pet care a regular part of my weekly routine and can be flexible with different schedules and pet needs. I’m comfortable providing walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, medication, and overnight care. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I’ll follow their usual routine, keep them supervised and safe, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, food, walks, and any medication they need.

“Tatum is an extremely responsible and lovely person who cares very much for her furry clients. Always prompt and wants your pups to be happy in addition to being fed and walked. She did a great job for me! I will be using her again for certain.”

About: I have had dogs all my life, as well as birds when I was young and even hermit crabs! I love all animals. From anxious, calm, or shy to excited and playful. I have been house/pet sitting for my sister for several years for her two cats and Great Dane as well as her sons two cats. I also house/cat sit for my Aunt's older cat as well. I also help my Aunt regularly as she fosters animals so I get plenty of love and experience with special needs animals as well. My goal is to care for and love on your furbabies until you return safely home. No animal is too big or too small to love and I am happy to give them that love and attention. I currently work full-time but am able to check on any animals I am caring for in the mornings before work and take time with them in the evenings for walks or play time. My weekends are also open for me to spend even more time with any animals I am caring for. When caring for your animals, I like to check on them at least twice a day if I am doing drop-in only services. I will spend the bulk of the play time in the evenings as I work 8am-5pm but will check on them before work as well. My goal is to spend as much time as I can with them the first time I drop-in so they become comfortable with me and aren't as nervous each time I come by. Any notes or tips/tricks you can provide for how I can make your pets comfortable with me are greatly appreciated. Your pets are already missing you when your gone and my goal is just to love on them until you return and make them as comfortable as possible with a strange new person in their home.

About: I’ve always taken care of all breeds of dogs. I love looking after them and seeing them happy. I have a special bond with pets of all sorts. My schedule has recently opened up and I wanted to do something that’d made me happy and being around dogs is just what I need. I’ll treat your pets like babies. Care for them, show them love and giving them everything they need. Walk them, feed them, play with them, etc.

“Great cat sitter!”

About: I’ve taken care of family friends pets for the past 10 years while away on vacation or quick pop ins when needing extra assistance for their furry friends! I work full time, remotely, so I have a flexible schedule to be able to work in various locations or come assist for a quick pop in between work. I have a fenced yard with turf available for pets use. I also have a doggie door in my home for access to bathroom breaks outside of scheduled ones.

“I am so happy that I booked Jen to watch our kitty, Boo. On the initial visit, Boo took refuge under the bed (as she does when there is a new person in the house) and Jen assured me that she would win Boo over. I could see that she had, because Jen sent me daily pictures of Boo snuggling with her. I appreciated Jen asking me on July 4th if Boo was afraid of fireworks; she was prepared to stay longer if that was the case. - it was over and above my expectations. Thank you Jen!”

About: Love all animals, cats and small dogs preferred Easy going, cuddly sitter local to the Chicago city and suburbs Open to negotiation for long term boarding and repeat visits Pretty easy to assimilate a new friend into my life and home.

My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to easily fit pet care into my day while giving each pet plenty of attention, love, and companionship.

About: Arianna and I are a young, professional couple and have a huge love for animals, especially dogs! We have 4 of dogs of our own and share custody of them with a family friend. Our dogs would NOT be with us during the sit. We are transitioning to a new home and thought this would be a great way to save money for moving but also to help someone in need as well. As fur Moms, we love all animals and would treat yours with the same attention and care as we do with our own. That same respect would, of course, extend to respecting your home as we would our own home. Arianna also was once a veterinary technician and has great insight on how to take care of animals beyond what the average person may or may not be aware of. She’s also had cats of her own is familiar with how to tend to them as well. So, both of those facts are great added bonuses. Working remotely helps out a lot in this area. With my being home all day for work and Arianna currently looking for office work in the Behavioral Health field, that still allows her to assist me whenever necessary. Together, we’ve made it work! We make sure to have meet and greets with all clients (virtual and/or in person) to ensure all safety measures, dietary and medical questions are asked by both us and the pet parents before accepting a sit.
