About: Hi, I’m Yailyn! I have a genuine love for animals and hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, as well as other small pets. I’ve done everything from dog sitting, cat care, and walks to feeding and bath time—always making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. I also offer dedicated cat care, whether your kitty loves playtime, cuddles, or just having someone around to keep them company. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with you to make sure your furry friend gets the best care possible. I can’t wait to meet your pet and give them all the love and attention they deserve! 🐾✨ Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I currently work from home. This allows me to be flexible with my schedule, giving me plenty of time for frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and quality care throughout the day. 🐾✨ When caring for pets, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each owner’s routine closely to keep things familiar for their pet. This includes regular feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm and caring environment. I make sure pets have everything they need—from fresh water and a cozy space to plenty of love and care. 🐾✨

“We’re so glad we found Nicole when we needed last-minute care for our pup — she was fantastic. Our dog warmed up to her instantly, had a great day, and the happy updates she sent throughout kept us from worrying. We’d definitely book her again!”

About: My wife, Jana, and I have been dog lovers our entire lives. Currently, we're proud parents to our wonderful pup, Lula. Lula is a 75lb Komondor-mix. Recently, we said goodbye to our other beloved senior dog, so we understand the unique needs and joys of older dogs. We'd love to open our home to another dog, if only temporarily, to bring some companionship to Lula and fill our hearts with double joy once again. Rest assured, your furry friend will be treated like family while you're away. We can't wait to welcome them into our home with open arms! Jana and I both work from home, ensuring that there's always someone around during the day to provide company and care for your pet. Occasionally, we may step out for a meal or activity in the evenings or on weekends, but your pet will never be left unattended for more than a few hours at a time. Our cozy home boasts a fenced backyard, providing a safe haven for your pet. We enjoy daily walks in our scenic and relaxing neighborhood, ensuring your dog gets plenty of fresh air and exercise if desired. Our dog Lula is e-collar trained, and is playful with other dogs & humans

“Danielle and Ryan were the best sitters for Wally. They sent tons of pictures, kept us updated, and gave Wally constant attention. Strongly recommend them!”

About: I am Isabella C. I am currently a freshman in college and I love learning about new experiences and meeting new animals. Last year as my senior year of high school I would take care of dogs within 20 miles, I would take them on walks depending how big or small the dog was I would tire them out. Sometimes I would dog sit and I would take the dogs out, give them medication and feed them. I am very responsible by taking care of them. I love dogs and I really enjoy their company and just learning more about them because they help us. I hope to meet pets with great personalities and continue to help these pets by taking them on walks or playing with them.

“The Laurens are the best! My pup is so happy to go there and I have complete confidence in their care. I totally recommend without reservation!”

“Amy and Lamar were awesome taking great care of my energetic GSP. Lots of photos and communication kept me in the loop all day. I came home with a tired pup which is the best indicator of a fun day!!!”

I love going for walks and enjoying fresh air and time in nature and I would love to make sure your pet receives the same enrichment. I am a very empathetic person and do my best to understand the needs of all animals. I am an online grad student so I have tons of free time.

I’m respectful, reliable, and trustworthy.

About: I owned a cat for 16 years and most recently a dog for almost 16! Not ready for another of my own just yet, but missing the cuddles and walks! As a teacher my school year is winding down. I will be available starting Tues. June 9, daily, for the whole summer. Hope to get a chance to spoil your pet soon! I have a fenced in side yard area that dogs can use throughout the day. I also have my own crate that a dog can sleep in, as well as my own litter box for cats to use.

About: I just graduated from UMass Amherst with a degree in Pre-Veterinary Science. I have grown up with pets and taken care of them for years! I’ve had dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish! I have a lot of experience taking care of animals as I’ve interned at a zoo and volunteered at shelters and vet clinics. I’m very comfortable giving medications to pets as I’ve had a lot of practice with this with my own pets and while sitting! I am currently on summer break so I should be available all day unless I have it blocked off on my calendar! I plan to travel around the end of summer and move out of Illinois in the fall. My house has one kitten, and my backyard is not fenced in. I’d love to take care of your pet in either your home or mine, whichever is easiest!

“Lynda really helped me out with a pretty last minute request for doggy daycare. I felt comfortable leaving my dog Teddy with her and I would absolutely do it again. She sent pics and kept me updated throughout the day on how it was going. Thank you Lynda!”

“Pat took great care of my dog. She has a lot of experience and really cares about animals. This was my dog's first time with Pat and he seemed to have enjoyed himself (even though he was a little uneasy with an unfamiliar environment). I definitely recommend Pat to care for your fur babies.”

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I have a 5 year old lab mix that is my obsession. My close friends rely on my to watch their dogs when they go out of town. I work fully remote from my home where I have plenty of time to give love and attention to dogs. I take my pup out a few times through the day. I live in a townhome with plenty of space for your dog to feel comfortable. I have plenty of toys to play with. There is a dog park in my complex and there is a walking trail right near my place if your dog prefers a longer walk.
