About: I have always grown up with cats. When I was young I began helping my mom cat-sit for neighbors and family. I have 30 years experience with loved ones cats. There was never a time in my life when I didn't have a cat. I am also a dog aunt and when I was young I spent most summers and weekends volunteering at the local animal shelter which resulted in fosters, foster fails, and experience with dogs of all ages and breeds. I work at home full time, and while it keeps me busy there are opportunities to take breaks for walks, and evenings to care for your pet. I love walking and am eager to have your doggo joining me! I have three cats of my own, one which is on medication twice daily. I am able to feed, scoop litter, give meds, brush, and play with regards to your preferences.

About: I'm 50 years old, and have mostly owned pit bull breed dogs, but I love all breeds. From 2010 to 2018, my APBT was trained as a therapy animal, we did hospital visits and library events with children. I taught him several tricks, such as left, right, speak, play dead. My current pit is a rescue and I am off leash training. Dog Walking: I work in the Kankakee area, so coming to walk your dog in Kankakee, Bradley, Bourbonnais, is NO problem! Either in the mornings (after 7am) and/or later in the evenings (8ish pm) it's all negotiable. I live in Iroquois county, so I have more availability to walk your dog if you are in that area. Pet Sitting: I can come to sit in your home, if that is preferred. I am also available to just come let them outside, spend time and play, feed, water, clean up.

All pets are welcome on the couches and have full access to the entire 1st floor, including the bed in the spare room. My husband and I work different shifts, so someone is usually always home. A maximum of 3 to 4 hours of an occasional overlap in shifts. I am able to crate your pet if preferred, or close off access to half of the living space. Before boarding, a few meet and greets are necessary. More details as we move forward. Cats: I will help with your cats, spending time, play, feed, clean litter boxes. I also have several years of experience with birds. I know how important socializing is to birds, and leaving them alone can cause problems and stress. Boarding of cats and birds can be discussed. As I'm nearing retirement from the Healthcare field, I would like to do more of what I love, which is caring for and spending time with animals. If I can do that for you, and ease your worry while you are away, it's a win for everyone! Reach out and let me help you today.

About: Ive cared for all different kinds of furry friends, big, small, young and elderly. Each one needed a little different and unique kind of love, but figuring out what make they happy and exhausted is my favorite part. From high energy breeds to cuddly couch potatoes, I enjoy spending time getting to know every single pet the best I can. I primarily work weekends, so I have lots of free time during to week to check on and play with youre doggos. I have limited availability on weekends, but can sometimes work visits in. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe and loved in their own environments. Each pet has a different routine, whether it's feeding, walking, play time, or taking medication it's important to stay consistent in order to help them feel relaxed. Sometimes dogs can play all day, it's important to take into consideration their health and well being, so even if they still want to keep playing they might need to take a little break sometimes.

About: Let me take your dog on some great adventures, now that the sun is coming back out, that means long walks, dog parks and hikes! I'll feed and play with your pets per your instructions, cats included. I have four cats and a chihuahua, and I grew up with three large breed dogs. I love dogs of all sizes, and cats as well. Expert animal attendant, great petting skills. Willing to assist with grooming needs, including cleaning litter boxes, if necessary. Reliable transportation, defensive driver. Will spoil with dog or cat treats, as well as cat nip. Pet bathing is also something I am willing to do, dogs or cats, I'm not afraid of being scratched. Animal related chores are also included in my skill set. I’ve had my cat, Arya, since 2017, and her care and needs are taken care of first, every day. I feed her, clear her dishes weekly, brush her and play with her favorite laser toy. I always connect with my client, and see if they have any specific requests for their pets, be that general care, walking needs, special feeding requirements. I want their pet to have as close to a regular day as possible. If it’s simply stop by and check, I’ll make sure to check all their dishes, clean as needed, and feed before I leave.

About: I have experience with a variety of breeds of dogs. I have owned dogs that are super high maintenance, dogs that love to lounge, anxiety ridden dogs, and dogs that are on the spicy side. I understand the different cues of dogs and how to read their body language. I have experience in walking multiple dogs. I also have experience in training dogs. I trained my Shetland Sheepdog for 4H and we made it to the state fair. I also taught him many silly tricks. I can be a professional fetch player or a professional cuddler, whichever your dog prefers. I can also just be a treat giver if your dog prefers space. I am currently working part time as a server, but my schedule is very flexible. I am a recently graduated college student, with the hopes of going to graduate school in the coming semester. Animal trust is very important to me. It is important that I earn you and your animals trust, and we can grow to be best friends or acquaintances if your animal is not into that. I hope to make your time away from your animal as easy as possible.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. Over the years, I’ve helped take care of dogs for family, friends, and neighbors—everything from quick drop-ins to longer stays while they’re out of town. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including high-energy dogs that need lots of activity and older dogs that need a slower, more gentle approach. I’ve handled feeding routines, daily walks, crate training, and giving medications when needed. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine and what makes them feel comfortable. Whether that’s extra playtime, sticking to a strict schedule, or just giving them attention and reassurance, I adjust to what works best for your pet. I also know how important communication is, so I always keep owners updated with messages and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I offer part-time availability with a flexible schedule, including evenings and weekends. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to coordinate timing that works best for you and your pet. I provide a safe, comfortable environment with a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time. Pets are always supervised, well cared for, and treated like part of the family.
