“Stephanie has been very responsive and helpful with my dog Jack. She works with him to build a relationship, connect, and make his walks the most enjoyable they can be. She's great!”

About: I own two high-energy dogs, Josie and Stella, both raised from puppies, so I know how stressful puppy-parenting can be. Growing up on a farm surrounded by animals is where I developed my love for caring for them, and it’s where I learned responsibility. We often head to the farm for extra playtime and walks, so your pup will have plenty of fun, exercise, and love—no energy left behind! I’m currently in school for respiratory therapy, so I’ve cut back on my hours. I work every other weekend at a memory care/assisted living facility. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I’m in class from 9 AM to 2:30 PM. Other than that, I’m pretty available around my work and school schedule, and I can’t wait to care for and love your animals! I have two friendly, high-energy dogs who love to play! While we don’t have a fenced yard, we’re lucky to have country property with plenty of space to walk around the fields.

About: I have been an independent pet sitter for 18 plus years. I have plenty of experience with cats, dogs and other small critters. I have been very passionate in my love of animals for many years and all of my pets mean the world to me. I have spent time volunteering in shelters for pet care as we as medical care and have spent time working as a vet assistant as well. While working in the vet office I learned how to medicate cats as well as how to give subcutaneous fluids. I have worked in various animal related fields for over a decade including vet offices, shelters, grooming facilities, pet stores and pet sitting. All animals are fascinating to me and I enjoy learning about the different types of care they all need. I live in Galena IL and am willing to cover all surrounding areas 😸 Pet sitting is my main job and my schedule is currently open. I'm looking to build my local client base and earn your trust :) I will care for pets in the clients own home. I will follow the care instructions provided for each pet. During overnight visits I will treat your home with the utmost respect.

About: I have been surrounded by cats and dogs my whole life! My family has had Blue Heelers and Beagles, and cats. I have my degree in Agriculture Education, giving me a nice rounded education on the topics of animals. I take pride in allowing your pets to become comfortable with me being in their space (: I have experience with a vast amount of dog breeds, ages, temperaments and training levels. For cats, I understand the importance of routine and comfortability in their lives. I am generally free in the mornings before 8am, and again in the afternoon after 4:30pm. I am a full time teacher, but enjoy helping others with their animals when I am free and on the weekends! I do work from home in Kieler WI, making my schedule very flexible throughout the week days for visits between work hours! When I come into a clients home I always make sure to keep the animals comfortable with me being there by taking the time to get to know their personality and mood! I am a firm believer on reading an animals body language to understand how they are feeling. I also like to make sure I leave your space just as clean as it was when I got there.

“Jessica has been walking our dog for over a year. She is great with him and he gets so excited when she arrives. We have also had drop in visits that helped us out. Highly recommend her services.”

“Literal lifesaver. Has provided so much comfort knowing my pup is taken care of and in good hands so I can give the appropriate level of focus my patients deserve. Truly would be most without Ashlyns help! 🙏🏻”

About: I have pretty open availability and do not travel that often. I have two small dogs that are playful and energetic. For as long as I can remember, dogs have been part of my life and have gotten me through anything that has ever happened to me. Bad or good. Dogs aren’t considered pets, they are family and I promise to treat your family member with the respect and love you would give yourself. I not only want to cuddle and play with your furry friend, but gain a bond. A friendship. My partner works from home as well. I would love to take any dog in my home while you are away, to either play with me or play with my very own bundles of energy, Coco and Brulee! Please let me know if I can help you out at any time! I do work M-F but have weekends off. My partner works from home and is home all day long. I do have a decent lunch and get off by 5 every day. I would feed your pups on your schedule. I take the time and energy needed to play, nourish and allow your dog to run if needed. Dogs are family and I intend on treating them this way.

About: I have babysat for many family members and friends. I worked at a dog daycare business for 3 years as well! I have tons of experience with just about any breed, and I am always happy to learn something new about taking care of your pet! I’m a current student at IU Bloomington, so I’d love to help out between classes and studying! My schedule is usually pretty open throughout the week. I love going for walks or just hanging out at home with pets, let me know whatever your furry friend needs to have the best time possible!

About: Nestled in the quiet countryside, I offer loving, in-home boarding for dogs and cats in a peaceful, natural setting. With plenty of fresh air, daily walks, and attentive care, your pets are treated like family while they’re away from home. Able to care for animals at all stages in their life. I love taking long walks with canine companions! Your dogs will not be unleashed on a walk unless your specify! A client’s cat or dog fits naturally into my daily routine because their care is built around their needs, not a rigid schedule. Each day follows a calm, predictable flow—morning feedings, medications if needed, fresh air, walks or supervised outdoor time for dogs, and quiet check-ins or play for cats—mirroring what they’re used to at home as closely as possible. Throughout the day, I weave in one-on-one attention, enrichment, rest, and observation, so pets aren’t just “fit in,” but thoughtfully included in a rhythm that keeps them comfortable, engaged, and well cared for from morning to night. Tailoring your services starts with seeing each pet as an individual, not a “one-size-fits-all” guest. Begin with a detailed intake or meet-and-greet to learn the pet’s routine, personality, energy level, medical needs, fears, and preferences. From there, you can adjust care in a few key ways: • Routine-based care: Match feeding times, walk schedules, playtime, and sleep habits as closely as possible to what the pet is used to at home. • Personality-aware handling: Offer extra quiet and space for shy or senior pets, more structured play and exercise for high-energy dogs, and gentle, low-stress interactions for anxious animals. • Health-focused support: Follow specific instructions for medications, mobility limits, special diets, or senior care, and keep careful notes so nothing is missed. • Environment choices: Decide whether a pet thrives with social interaction or prefers solo time, indoor lounging, or outdoor exploration in your country setting.

About: I owned a dog for a couple years who had a disease that required special care when eating and drinking water, he had a lot of medical needs. I became profiecent in his needs and provided great care before he passed. With that said, I have experience with taking care of dogs with special needs. I also have experience raising a puppy from very young, so I understand reactiveity in dogs and have learned different ways to calm them down or pay special attention to them during moments of high reactivity ( like during walks) I am currently work remotely from home and have a pretty flexible schedule during my day that allows me to do side quests such as rover I have a fenced in yard and 1 dog who loves playing with other dogs! so your fur baby would have a best friend to play with during the day. I can also easily crate my or your dog

About: I've sat for many different breeds and species over the years. I grew up always having some type of animal in the home, especially dogs. I have two dogs and a cat now. I love cooking for them and knowing exactly what is going in their food. I love making home made treats for them as well. I even sew for them at times. I've made boots, coats, beds, Halloween costumes, toys, etc. Right now, my schedule is pretty flexible, which means I have lots of time to dedicate purely to furkids. I am close with a professional dog trainer and am able to ask any question, which is always a big help. My vet has great hours and very accessible as well for any questions or concerns.

“Jenna is the best! You can have complete peace of mind when you book her to care for your fur babies. I’m a repeat customer and you will be too :)”

About: Hi! My name is Mikayla, and I have a lifelong passion for animals and their care. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities.

I enjoy helping dogs build confidence, learn good manners, and have fun while staying active. I also provide dog grooming services on the side, which has given me experience handling dogs in a calm, safe, and patient manner. Because of my grooming background, I am comfortable recognizing when a dog may be stressed, anxious, or in need of extra care and attention. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, training, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship while owners are away. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their routine, and I do my best to keep things familiar and stress-free. I’m reliable, attentive, and always treat every dog with care and patience. I maintain a very flexible routine and am home the majority of the day. I do volunteer a few hours daily, but I’m otherwise available to care for pets, provide attention, and keep them on their normal schedule. Dogs in my care will have a stable environment, regular potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every dog in my care. I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and kept in a clean, secure space where they can relax and feel at home.

About: I’m an MFA candidate and I graduate spring of 2025. I work from home full time for a university evaluating transcripts. I love animals and I volunteer at the local humane society. Pets are akin to family/kids --- you just do it/take care of them as if they were -- which means, at times- putting their needs first I grew up in an environment where dogs/cats were given free rein of the home as if they were just another member of the family; I will respect other's desires if they chose to not have their animals on the furniture/all over the place, but I am comfortable with dogs/cats being everywhere/anywhere. I realize, that as they can be childlike -- there needs to be certain measures in place to ensure their safety, keeping things off the floor/ away from their inquisitive natures.

About: Growing up I have always had one or more dogs in my house so getting any opportunity to spend more time with a dog amazing. I have dog sat many dogs before ranging from puppies to adults so I have a good basic understanding of what to expect but new challenges and experiences are always great to have. I take joy in playing with dogs like fetch and tug-a-war! I would love to work with and your pup! I work fully remote and my schedule is very flexible, the only day I take off is Sundays. I have three of my own dogs so they are constantly incorporated into my daily life. I take extreme care of your pet, your pets health and safety is my number one priority when they are in my care. If your pet requires something, I will do my best to do that for them.

About: I have a personal dog training business and have loved animals my whole life. I recently graduated with a Bachelors in Animal Science at Iowa State! I currently fit boarding clients in between training appointments but spend plenty of time with your pup/kitten in the comfort of your own home. A bonus is that you can choose to add training during the boarding session! I am an in home pet boarding and training professional, this allows your pet to remain in the comfort of their home and have someone who knows what they’re doing. I send pictures of the pets and allow them to remain calm and in their own environment!

About: Hi! My name is Taylor and I have been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with two Blue Healers, a Yorkie Poo, and a Cavalier. Friends and family have relied on me to care for their furry friends when they are unable to and it’s my favorite past time! I’m currently working overnights as a nurse, however this is only 3 days of my week. My schedule does not look the same each week, but I will make sure to keep it as updated as possible!! Although I live in an apartment building, it is a 2-bedroom and very spacious! I also live near bike paths, the river, and plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks.

About: I’ve had my dog since age eight but just moved away from home for college and want to make your dog’s day along with mine! I work part time so I have plenty of free time and would love to get some exercise while doing something I love! 🦮🐾❤️ I would like to walk at least three times a week and depending on my work schedule I would like to keep the times pretty consistent. I have a fenced in yard along with a dog friendly park just a block away. I live in a safe neighborhood and have had many dogs stay and visit in the past couple months.
