ᵔᴥᵔ Puppies, senior pets, anxious dogs & medications I've had pets my entire life and currently have two huskies who are a big part of my life. I've also cared for pets for family, friends, and neighbors, and I've volunteered at animal shelters, where I spent time with dogs of different ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. I know how stressful it can be to find someone you feel comfortable leaving your pet with. I’ll make each experience as easy and reassuring as possible. My goal is to eventually work with animals full-time, and Rover gives me the opportunity to do more of what I love while helping people in my community. I enjoy figuring out what makes each pet feel comfortable and loved! Adjusting to them instead of expecting them to adjust to me. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing outside, sticking to their usual routine, or simply having someone nearby, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them most comfortable and gives you peace of mind. You'll receive regular updates and photos throughout each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! ․°𓃠•°․𓃦․• My Availability ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ ⟡ Weekday evenings (after school) ⟡ Weekends ⟡ Holidays ⟡ School breaks ⟡ Summer vacation 𓆉°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ I'm flexible, responsive, and believe in open communication, so you'll always have peace of mind while your pet is in my care! Your pet's safety is always my top priority. On walks, I stay alert to our surroundings, use secure leash handling, and tailor each walk to your pet's pace and comfort level. In your home, I'll respect your space, follow your care instructions and routines, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable.

“Desiree is really great with our cat. He is very picky but took to her right away! She came to our home twice every day as planned and left me helpful status updates and photos. We will definitely request her services again!”

“Tara is fabulous with my cat. I appreciated how much time and energy she spent playing with Jim Catsby. She sent me awesome photos and a video of their time together. Tara really cares about Jim, and leaving him happy. I’m grateful for her passion for pets and their care. She is motivated to give our pets the best experience possible.”

About: I've taken care of dogs for family and friends every time they go on vacation. I make sure they have all they need if left alone. I have walked their pets, played with them, and fed them accordingly. I always follow strict directions provided and make sure they are safe and sound. Same goes for cats, I ensure they have everything they need to thrive independently and also take the time to give them enrichment time! Playing with toys or anything the cat seems comfortable with! Working full time and off by 3pm! I have the rest of the afternoon/ evening to drop in and make sure your pets are cared for! I make sure your pets are safe and are provided with all the food and care they need. I follow directions and make sure the pet feels comfortable and is happy. I will also help clean up after them and maintain their area organized.

About: I've had dogs my whole life, helped with training, and often would dog and house sit for friends and family. I've attended several dog training courses with some of my own dogs, as well as researching and practicing on my own. I've helped a close friend and my sister do basic training with their own dogs. I also have 2 cats, and am careful to adjust treatment of all my animals to their personality and needs! I am available Mon/Tues/Saturday. I can be available Wednesday and Thursday with advanced notice. I am only available Sundays and/or Fridays upon request and with at least 3 weeks notice. I currently work part time in the service industry and am getting ready to go back to school for a career change. My schedule is mostly flexible, but I do have a commitment to my other job as well. I'm happy to work with anyone who needs me during unavailable days, don't be afraid to ask and we can see if we can work it out! My dog is not dog friendly, so I do not do any care at my residence. However, it means I am experienced with dogs who need a bit more awareness in their care than others! I'm attentive and firm, and am willing to go for a 2 hour hike or rest in the house depending on their needs.

About: I have always been surrounded by kitties (for the most part short-haired cats) and I am well accustomed on how to attend to them. I am attentive, caring and patient. I also have a fur baby of my own who I love deeply even though she is a troublemaker haha. I also enjoy playing with them and keeping them entertained. I am happy to care for your beloved fur babies I would be available to pet sit from 10am to 7pm, mostly everyday except for Sunday, which would only be 12pm to 5pm. I am also pretty flexible with my schedule so I am understanding of any emergencies and can make exceptions for days/hours, just feel free to ask me !! I would prefer to pet sit from your home. I have my own pet and she is a little anxious so it would not be comfortable for her if I bring a friend to my home. I am very attentive when it comes to caring for their physical health like; brushing teeth, grooming, cleaning their paws and moisturizing, clipping their nails, cleaning their ears, wiping their private parts to make sure they are clean etc. I enjoy playing with cats and keeping them entertained to make sure they are not bored and can help with their development as they grow. I would also make sure their environment is clean. I would prefer to have detailed notes of who your cat is, what they like and dislike, any disabilities or behaviors etc. This way I am completely informed on how to care for them.

About: I've spent a few years pet-sitting for family members and friends with many dogs and some cats. I can do feedings, walks, play-time, baths, or whatever is needed. I can also administer medication in liquid form , tablets, or topical ointments. I am currently volunteering/fostering at a cat shelter! I've lived with dogs and I also have my own 2-year-old cat that is living her best life. I am currently a graduate student with classes once per week, clinic twice per week, and a part-time job. I am otherwise available: Saturdays/Sundays any time Mondays and Tuesdays after 6pm Thursdays before 11am and after 4pm Fridays before 4pm I will always respect an animal's boundaries and adjust to their personality. I like giving them their space and letting them control the situation. I can provide minimal care if needed, such as feeding or basic check-ins, or I can go beyond that and also provide walks, play time, baths, etc. I will do whatever is best for you and your pet! :)

“Guillermina was great with my cats. She was able to visit everyday to feed, play and administer supplements. I recommend her for your visits.”

About: I'm currently a CSU graduate student but have lived all over the place! I have one senior cat back home (Angelo) and another 1-year old cat living with me (Void). I also currently live with my roommate's dog (Ziggy) and cat (Esther), who I take care of when they are gone. I have solid experience and am willing to work with pets who are reactive or take a while to warm up. My 9-5 job is remote and I make my own schedule, so I can shift my work schedule around your pets needs. I will be in Colorado until October and am looking to take care of and meet new pet friends until then. I start by getting to know the pet and greeting them, and then make sure they are fed and have a walk if that is part of the service I'm providing. I also always make sure to take some extra time to pet them and play with them.

About: I recently graduated from Northern Michigan University this past spring with a bachelors degree in Education. Before pursuing my career, I am taking time off to work and spend time with family. I am a lover of all animals, though I have the most experience with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. Over the past 8 years, I have worked with several families for drop by visits and extended stays while they travel. I have a fur baby of my own, my cat Ringo, who I love very much. I have several references available for back ground check and to hear from prior families I have worked with for feedback if desired! I would love to work with you and your pets! I have a pretty open schedule! I work 1-2 shifts a week of retail for roughly 4 hours per shift. I can do overnights, extended stays, multiple visits per day, and so on. I’m flexible to your needs! When caretaking for you animal, I’ll be more than ready to follow your expectations. I have a list of references available from prior families I’ve worked with in the past that I am more than welcome to share with you. At any point, feel free to contact me via call or text if you have questions or concerns about the wellbeing of your animal.

“She took very great care of my dogs and kept me updated the whole time!”

About: I have 12 years of hands-on experience caring for my own Chihuahua mix, along with experience caring for pets in family homes while babysitting. I adapt to each pet’s personality, whether that means active engagement or giving them space, while ensuring they feel safe, calm, and well cared for at all times. My background as a teacher’s assistant and current work in healthcare with older adults has strengthened my reliability, patience, and attention to detail. I provide calm, consistent, and attentive care for every pet. I am a fully remote worker and can work from anywhere with a quiet space. I work a daytime healthcare role Monday–Friday (9–5) and a talent agency role evenings and weekends. My work sessions are typically 2–4 hours, allowing for flexible availability and plenty of downtime for pet care. My philosophy is to leave every home better than I found it. I treat each client’s home with respect, secure it properly, allow no visitors, and prioritize the pet’s full care needs—food, water, walks, and medical attention if needed. I’m easy to communicate with and always open to house rules, questions, or concerns.

About: I have always been a cat lover ever since I was little. I have 7+ years of experience personally taking care of cats of all breeds, personalities, and ages. I previously volunteered at the Bolingbrook Animal Shelter, where I provided personalized care and followed the individual routines of cats and kittens. I respect every cat’s boundaries, personality, and comfort level while giving them plenty of love and attention. I can follow your pet’s specific routine, feeding schedule, medications, and care instructions. I also have a pet-friendly space where your furry baby can relax, feel safe, and get comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally in my routine, and I enjoy making time for animals. I am available of Fridays, Saturday and Sunday for pet sitting and my schedule allows me to provide consistent care, playtime, feeding and attention based of each cats needs. I'm happy to work around their routine and make sure they receive plenty of love and companionship while their owners are away. Since I provide care in my home, I focus on creating a safe clean, and comfortable environment where you cat can feel at home. I thoroughly sanitize food, water bowls, and litter boxes between stays and follow feeding, treat, medication, and care instructions that you provide. I don't have pets of my own so your cat won't have to adjust to other animals or compete for attention. Your cat will be welcome to explore the house and if they prefer privacy, I can provide a separate, comfortable space for them to relax. Safety is my top priority. Doors and windows will remain securely closed and all windows have screens. I'll also need an emergency veterinarians contact information on hand in case it is ever needed. I'll provide toys and plenty of attention while respecting your cats' personality and boundaries. I will also share pictures and moments of their stay with you while you are away. I'm happy to maintain their usual routine and provide the food and treats you provide so that they can stick to what they're already comfortable with. My goal is for your cat to feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you are away

“Tabbie is an exceptional sitter! She is a great communicator and very considerate of the pet's needs. I recommend her without any reservations!”

About: Hello , I’m Timiya! I’ve been around animals my whole entire life. My great uncle taught me everything I need to know about animals; from how to take care of him to what they need to survive and how to make them feel comfortable and safe .He made sure I understood that humans are no better than animals we all need love and patience . My job is to create a beautiful fun loving friend I am your friends so that they can be understood and cared for and loved . For overnight pet I require the owner to equip the pet with a overnight bag! Of course with a pet like items.Here at my Pet Paradise your pet will be in the best care. I have a number of neighborhood animals Ive take care of on a daily basis. Along with a silly family dog named Nova that's obsessed with playfully attacking toes. I typically Allow pets to have the ability to freeroam in the mostly because its a new space for them. A lot of pets get shy and nervous so i allow them to feel the place out. So they know there safe and that they're no vet around the corner. Lol 😆
