Dog Sitting Homer Glen

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of professional experience working with dogs in veterinary clinics, doggie daycares, and grooming salons. Dogs have always been one of my greatest passions. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality, whether they're a goofy puppy, an energetic adventure buddy, a shy rescue, or a senior who prefers a slower pace. One of my favorite parts of this work is building trust with dogs and watching them become excited to see me. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog. My goal is to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention that I would want for my own pets. Whether your dog enjoys a structured walk, extra sniffing time, playtime, or simply companionship during the day, I'll tailor my care to their individual needs. When your dog is with me, they're not just another appointment on my schedule—they're a member of the family. My most recent job with dogs was at a daycare for several years. I supervised dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. This experience gave me extensive knowledge of canine body language, play styles, and behavior. I learned how to safely manage group interactions, recognize early signs of tension, and help dogs remain comfortable and successful in social environments. In my free time, you'll usually find me out walking with my own dogs, taking my kids to their activities, discovering new music, or learning about native plants and wildlife! My current schedule includes dog walking, volunteering at an animal shelter, and taking care of my two wonderful sons. Thursdays are a busy day with activities with them so those days are currently closed for my schedule. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and some Fridays are available to book. I am comfortable with whatever instructions you give me and what your preferences are whether it be letting them out in your yard, sitting down and hanging out with them, letting them sniff around, or taking them for a more structured walk.

“Carter is great! He's honest and happy. He loves playing with the animals and just a great pet sitter!”

“Caraline is amazing, we were so happy with how she took care of my two cats and are so excited to have her watch them again later this month. She is so patient, always sends photos and updates, follows every care instruction and brings so much peace of mind while traveling or being anxiously away from your pets. Her calm energy and love for animals has even made my extremely timid cat open up and initiate contact and play with her. She left areas cleaner than they were found and was eager to help outside of what was initially asked, including cleaning up cat litter/waste my cats dragged outside of their litter boxes without asking. I definitely recommend her and will be using her as a regular cat sitter!”

About: I’ve had such a variety of animal care in my life! I work as a wildlife keeper and have a zoo of my own. I have 3 dogs, 4 cats, a fish, and 2 birds! Elderly animals hold a special place in my heart and I’m comfortable with medications/clinic care as well. Hire me if your pets need an excessive amount of love! During the colder seasons, I have flexible hours and only work 30 hour weeks. I can’t get enough when it comes to animals and animal care in general. Everyday I find joy in taking care of animals, whether that means my own, my patients, or yours! Having so many animas of my own, I’m very familiar in animal behavior and safety. I’ve dealt with reactive dogs of my own and balancing cat dynamics. I have experience in doggy daycare as well and would have 20+ dogs under my supervision at a time.

“I was a bit nervous leaving my cat with someone I hadn’t met before, but I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Robin was incredibly professional from the start—communicative, punctual, and clearly experienced with pets. While I was away, Robin sent regular updates with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She kept the litter box clean, followed all instructions, and most importantly, took wonderful care of my cat. I came home to a well cared for kitty and a tidy space. I highly recommend Robin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

About: I’ve always had pets growing up and when I got older I was able to help care for them. I have also pet sat for family when they needed it. I’ve also helped friends pet sit before. I adore animals and would love to help out. I can also take care of senior pets due to having some myself and giving them medication or the care they need. I’m currently home from college and I have a bunch of free time on my hands. So I’m available pretty often and I take care of my own pets at home when everyone else is at work. I currently have a one dog and a bunch of cats but the cats can be a bit standoffish to others. I can always keep them separate as well. Can always go on walks and there’s a fenced in yard to let the dogs play in.

“Kat is AWESOME! If you need a dog person, definitely use Kat. She is the best! We recently relocated to the area and need a dog sitter. I interviewed several people and Kat was hands down the best!”

About: My family has 2 dogs, one we’ve had for almost 10 years and another we’ve had for about 2 years. I have been watching dogs in my neighborhood for about 10 years. I have mostly conducted drop in visits but have walked dogs on occasion. For a little over 2 years I worked at a doggy daycare where I gained experience administered medications to dogs. Drop-ins and walks can easily be fit into my schedule. I can sometimes be flexible with times but days are set in stone. If something comes up or I feel I will be late for a drop-in or walk I will be sure to let you know as soon as possible. For drop-ins I will follow requests as closely as I can. If there is any medication that needs to be administered I am unfortunately only comfortable administering oral medications. With walks I can either bring my own bags or you can provide them just let me know in advance. For both of these services I require a meet and greet before the services begin so that you dog(s) can become familiar with me and we can go over any necessary info.

About: Hi there! I’m Mia. I have a passion for pets of all sizes and breeds. I am excited to be able to help you by caring for your pets while you are away. Your babies will be cared for and loved just as if they were my own. I have had bunnies, dogs, birds, lizards, turtles, cats, and ducks though out my life. I love animals, and I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pets. Currently with summer here I’ll have plenty of time to play and care for your pups! I’m available for drop ins and walks on weekdays, and weekends vary. I have a big open yard but sadly I will not be available for boarding. I will be doing walks or drop ins if wanted. I personally love playing with pups outdoors with toys or anything available.

About: I’ve had multiple animals in the home since I was 5, I also work at a pet hotel with both cats and dogs. I work with big dogs, small dogs, shy dogs, dogs who need medical help, I love helping animals and same goes for cats and other species! I work thursdays-sundays at the pet hotel usually and I do have university in the fall. Other than that I am completely free and willing to drive out I will be sure to spend time with them, feed them, clean their litter box/walk them, and just overall love them as much as you do!

“Our 7 month old puppy can be quite the handful! This was the first time we had to leave him for more than a couple hours and Jessica made us feel very comfortable with leaving him. She was absolutely amazing and kept us updated with how he was doing the whole time. We will definitely use her again!!”

About: From growing up in a home that always had pets, I have cared for various animals my entire life. From my own personal experience, I have cared for puppies, adults, and senior dogs. This has provided me with experience in general and specialized care. Specifically, I have puppy/potty trained, provided various medications, and grooming/bathing. I have worked with animals of various sizes and breeds. Neighbors, friends, and families have trusted me to not only ensure that their animal was cared for, but that their house was as well. I am a huge animal lover that you can trust to make sure your fur-family member is not just cared for, but loved while you are away! As a School Psychologist, I work the standard school year schedule with various breaks. This includes high levels of availability and flexibility throughout the summer and around holidays. Growing up, we would take out dogs outside on a leash for them to use the bathroom. Currently, we have a gated area that our dogs can use to relieve themselves and enjoy the fresh air. Additionally, a we also have leads that our cats are connected to so that they can also enjoy the outside air while ensuring their safety from predators and triggers of fear. When leashed, our animals wear harnesses as this is safer for them not only medically, but socially as well. A harness also decreases the chances and opportunities for them to slip out and run away.

“Thank you so much for your time. I appreciate your time and spending time with the girls. They honestly looked so comfortable with you!! I hope you’d be interested in the future!”
