Pet Sitting Highland Park

About: I have had a dog in the house since I was born. The first dog adopted in my family was a rescue mix named Bosco. The second dog we adopted was a sheepdog spaniel mixed named Arlo. The current dog that we have and adopted in 2020 is a 6 year old rescue blue heeler, chihuahua mix. Every dog I have adopted has had a unique personality. Getting to know each individual personality is a strong suit of mine as I love to bond with each pet uniquely as they all truly have their own needs and wants that need to be adapted to. :) I am a travel physical therapist from NY! I’m on a temporary contract here in SC, and I would love to care for your pup as I miss my buddy Mylo who is my family dog back in NY. My schedule would allow me to care for your pup some weekday mornings, abd some evenings depending on the weekday. I am available both weekend days all day! :) I am used to dogs that require high energy but also love to care for dogs with lower energy too! My pup at home is a high energy dog that requires lots of physical activity and loves to play while staying mentally involved! However, if your dog just needs a companion and some tummy rubs, I would love to provide that too :)

“Haley is an excellent communicator - I threw a lot of info in a short period of time. She got it all down and made me feel secure that my pups were in good hands!”

About: I have a degree in animal behavior from Canisius College with a major focus being animal care/husbandry and welfare. I have had pet dogs both big and small since I was 7 years old and have been helping to watch neighbors’ and family members’ dogs since I was 13. I will use this extensive experience caring for and walking dogs as well as my uniquely relevant educational background to ensure your pets are well taken care of, happy, and healthy! My schedule is currently variable however excepting any major changes I am mainly available for drop in visits and walks on most days from mid-day to late-evenings and occasional overnights. I have a fenced in backyard in a quiet suburban community. We have a cat who is friendly with other animals and people. With a background in animal behavior I am well versed in safe, proper care in addition to best practices in regards to animal welfare and am excellent at reading animals’ body language for signs of distress which I can use to make sure your dogs feel safe and comfortable.

About: I have loved dogs my whole life. Unfortunately (with the exception of when I was very little and one year as a teenager living with my mother) I grew up without dogs living with my father in an apartment. Getting married changed that as my wife at the time of dating had one dog and we now have 3 wonderful dogs, all rescues. We have also fostered in the past. I am passionate about rescuing dogs and dogs (and all animals) rights to a loving home free of abuse. I receive so much joy from being with dogs and have formed a strong bond with all 3 of our kids. My wife and I have no human children so the dogs are pretty much our life. As of now I am in between jobs so I have a lot of availability. I am looking for late mornings through the evening. I unfortunately cannot do overnights or earl mornings. I don't think I could do it at my house as out dogs do not always get along with others especially on their territory. I would be available to work I your home or I can provide dog walking services.

About: I’ve had a dog my whole life and have been taking care of a puppy, dog walking and poping in on vacations Super excited to start! I love dogs! I am extremely flexible around your schedule. I am very active and busy but it will be my priority to put your pups needs first! My experience with dogs are always fun. All dogs are different and like to have fun a different way. I think they are very readable like a human lol! My golden retriever is very playful with toys. She loves king walks and playing and running in the yard.

“Megan did a excellent job watching our little man Guido. He can be very picky on who he gives his attention to. In every picture she sent he was snuggled up on her. Which means he is very happy and comfortable. So glad we found Megan as a sitter. We will definitely use her again.”

“We booked Madison for drop in visits with our dog Milo. Madison was responsible and wonderful with Milo! Her love for animals certainly shines through her personality! Thank you Madison!”

About: Throughout the years I have dogsat/pet sat for numerous family members and various other individuals. I am experienced in dogs of old age, puppies (and their shark phase lol), dogs with dementia, smaller dogs (yorkies, etc). For my current boss, I have watched her pitbull puppy numerous times whilst multitasking and watching a toddler. Also, a fun fact is I adopted a dog of my own from nickel city canine rescue. His name is bluey and he is just over a year old. I know the challenges that come with dogs, due to the when I got him he was reserved, untrained, and very scared of people walking up to him. Now after many training sessions and lots of patience and love me and him have become social butterflies. To summarize; I have skills in taking care of senior dogs, dogs with dementia/disabilities, a variety of puppy ages, and training puppies basic commands (sit, wait for food, ring potty bells, etc). I hope to hear from you soon !! I currently work part time (Wednesday and Thursday) as a nanny, and I am in school to receive my masters degree in clinical mental health counseling. So on my free days I’d love to take care of your pets :) I have a fenced in yard and a dog of my own. I make sure to walk my dog two times a day ( weather permitting) and to do lots of brain enrichments. If you need, in my time in your home I can clean bowls, set up enrichment toys, or take your babies for a nice walk.

“Emma arrived a few minutes early and did great with Georgie & Brooke.”

“Barbie was awesome! Great communication, and I'm so appreciative of the time she spent with our dog. She will definitely be our first choice for a sitter in the future.”

About: Here for all the walks, attention and care you need! Hi I am Celina W. I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and been a hands-on, reliable pet sitter for friends and family since I was a teenager. As a dog mom to a German shepherd (Loki) and Malinois mix (Meelo), my experience with working breeds makes me a perfect fit to handle even the most energetic of dogs. If there are any behaviors or manners you are working on with your pet, please let me know and I will work with your pet on skills! My shitzu-yorkie Stella had puppies in my closet when I was a teenager, so I have hands-on experience handling dogs from birth- golden years. I have even rescued cats from a burned house and was able to foster and rehome them. I’m the kind of sitter who gets down on the floor to play, encourages enrichment activities and treats your pets like the unique little personalities they are. Whether it’s energetic playtime, calm companionship, or sticking to a careful routine, I show up with matched energy, patience, and genuine care. If your pets love affection, silliness, structure, or all of the above, they’re in good hands with me. If you have other critters or small pets in your home, I am sure I can assist you. Let's start a great long-term relationship! I am recently resigned teacher who is looking for fulfillment in life and currently in-between jobs. I am trying to build up my pet base so I can pursue this full time. I have plenty of time to play and care for your pups and/or cats/ small animals and will be fully engaged. I have open availability; I am also looking for long-term clients! Pet care will have to occur at the clients home and/or surrounding area. I can provide all necessary care and stimulation at your home. I am here for you and what you need. Preferrably the client would provide the leash and waste products. Depending on your comfortablility I can take your pup on scenic walks / jogs in the neighborhood or nearby parks. My client and aunt has a big dog that is a gentle giant if your dogs ever need some social interaction.

About: We have a pet friendly home with a huge fenced in yard just ready for your pup to come "home" and play. We will love your fur baby as we love ours. ❤️ Non Smoker. Our dog is current with all vaccines and rabies shots! I am blessed to be able to work from home. This allows me to provide the quality care, love and attention your dog deserves. I am willing to provide medications and walks. We have a very large fenced in yard , this offers your pup an area to run or just relax. We also have an 8year old Bulldog who is a jug of love but not much of a socialite...he may just lay around most the day 😉

About: I’ve been a dog owner my whole life. My last dog Chip who passed on was my best friend. We use to play and go on walks all the time and I miss him. Currently my fiancé our son Jojo and I have two cats Dave and Nola and we have a new little baby boy on the way named Finley! I am currently a very active individual. I coach Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Wrestling and compete as well. I love walking so and what better way to have a fun time and stay in shape then with pets like pups that need that enjoy it! My fiancé was foster for pets and very versed in that area. We both have a love for pets and the bond formed which each one!

About: I have a senior dog of my own who I’ve had for about 5 years! I am have trained her in basic obedience, and I often take her out on trails with me for walks. Since she’s old, she occasionally has accidents, so I’m good at cleaning up messes! My ride has work from 2PM-9PM on weekdays, so ideally would have to do things before 12PM. On weekends I’m available whenever except for Sunday, we have church from 9AM-12PM but after that I am free. I can easily crate your dog for you if needed! I can make sure they’re fed, watered, and the place is clean. If they need a bath I am able to do that.

About: I absolutely love dogs. My wife's family has always had dogs. They currently have a German Shepard and a chocolate lab. I absolutely adore them. I have a large fenced in yard, I am also very flexible to come and sit anytime you need. I love taking dogs for a walk and I love playing with them at the park especially fetch! I am very reliable and safe and come from a dog family. I will love and care for your dog like I it is my own. My children are now in middle school and high school and they love dogs as well. I can provide loving and affection for your dog and care for it like it was my own. I hope to hear from you soon Taking care of a pet just becomes part of my everyday flow. You feed them, take them out or clean up after them, and make time to play or cuddle a bit. Most days involve quick things like feeding and walks, while once a week you might do a deeper clean or grooming. It’s not too hard once you get into a rhythm—it just becomes routine. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, whether they’re in my home or a client’s. That includes feeding them on schedule, giving them fresh water, and making time for walks, play, or snuggles—whatever they need to feel happy and relaxed. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible to keep things familiar. If I’m in a client’s home, I also make sure everything stays clean and tidy, and I always send updates so they know their pet is doing great. I also have a fenced in yard.
