About: Ive been around dogs a lot. I have 3 of my own. One named Hope. She’s more active, and needs alot of playtime. So I’m definitely good at managing that. One name is Oakley, he likes to be babied and cuddled. Ones name is Hank, and he is just the chillest dog haha. I already have dogs so I work 24/7 with my own. I have a lot of time on my hands so I’m free whenever. Anytime you just need a break I can come help, when you’re gone. I’ll do it. I give baths, I walk them, I play ball/fetch with them.

About: I have been dog sitting since I was 11 years old. I have taken care of all kinds of dogs, all ages and sizes. I have always grown up with a dog, so taking care of one is like second nature to me. I have looked after puppies as well as senior dogs. I have potty trained puppies in less than 2 weeks. I have been responsible for walking, feeding, entertaining/playing, and bathing services. I am a University of Illinois Student who is currently working part-time over the summer, therefore I have a flexible schedule! As as student at the University of Illinois, I have taken multiple courses in Animal Science, including Companion Animals in Society, Science of Pets and Their Care, and World Animal Resources. I walk my dog Arlo in the morning before work, and will do the same with pets that are under my care. I live on a lake and I do not have a fenced in yard, but I will walk them often. I will walk your pets around the neighborhood which you live if I am caring for them at your house. My 4 year old Husky/German Shepherd mix loves other dogs and is very friendly. My dog does not require a crate, however if that is something that your dog needs, I can accommodate! If I am watching your pets at my house, I will require proof of vaccinations to keep my dog safe as well!
“Kate took pictures of Chance during his time walking. She walked him for two days. We did have an conflict with scheduling but Kate wanted to make it right after I expressed my concern. She did interact well with Chance!”
About: I have taken care of just about any animal you can think of. I was a veterinary assistant for 4 years. I am 25 years old and currently finishing my bachelor’s degree online at SIUE. I am a teaching assistant for the local school district now! However, I really miss seeing pets all the time so I would love to pet sit for you! I have my own fur babies but I love to meet new pets and build connections with them as well as their owners! I am currently working part time as a nanny and looking to add more pet sitting clients to my workload! I am in college and trying to save money for my future and pet sitting is a very flexible way for me to do that, plus I enjoy it so much! I always love to spend quality time with the animals I am caring for, it helps them to become more comfortable and makes it more enjoyable for me as well! I like to learn the little things that each pet I take care of likes most and use that to bring them comfort and joy while I am caring for them!
About: I’ve taken care of PAWZ every since I was 10 years old. My family had four kittens around that time of age and I took the lead role into making sure they’re daily activity was met. I’ve also dog sat in the past few years while being a student on UIUC campus. I like to go for walks, car rides, or sitting on the balcony on a nice sunny day, so if your furry friend needs a pet sitter of interest please reach out to me. Im currently a student at University of Illinois UC and I work part time. Most of this time is during the day, but this is also negotiable . I love playing in and out doors with our friends in the yard or in the living room etc, while following your pet/home care instructions.
About: I've taken care of dogs/cats ever since I could remember. From simple baths to administering medicine/medication, I've done it all. I have also helped train puppies and have experience in taking care of senior dogs/cats. I'm in college, but I'm completely free 5 days out of the week (Though I will mention that I'm unavailable on Tuesday from 9-11:50, and on Thursday from 11-11:50). So your pups/cats will get my undivided attention with all the love and care they need! I have an apartment with no pets, so it'll just be me and your furbabies. My apartment does offer pet friendly areas for dogs to be taken out to or cats that are outdoorsy. I do take pets out for routine walks and potty breaks, but I'll follow whatever routine you have in place already if need be.
About: My family has had a rescue dog since she was a puppy and is now a senior dog. I have had my own 2 shelter dogs living with me full time for over 2 years so I have been exposed to dealing with separation anxiety and many different reactions. I know I will be able to exceed your pets needs and provide lots of love and attention! I am currently working full time, in office M-F so my availability is mostly weekends. Our household has 2 young dogs so after work I will take them on a run daily for their high energy. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat on a few acres of land so they are very active outside. I used to live in an apartment and would exercise my 3 year old lab retriever for about 2 hours a day! I love playing fetch and games with our animals and am excited to entertain your pets!

About: Background: I’ve spent over six years working with animals, but my love for them started much earlier.

About Me: I’m a longtime animal lover with six years of professional experience in pet sitting, dog walking, and general animal care. While I currently live in a pet-free building, that hasn’t stopped me from staying active in the animal care world. I’m known for being friendly, reliable, and adaptable—especially for clients with last-minute needs or unique requests. I provide regular photo or video updates upon request, so you’ll always know your furry friend is happy and safe. Feel free to message me with any questions or specific requests. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I currently have open availability, so I’m very adaptable to you and your pet’s schedule. I often visit the gym on my free time to lift. I follow my clients instructions provided, and if there are no instructions, I make sure to ask lots of questions before being left with your pet!

I have experience with giving oral medication, potty training, and giving your pup the exercise and play time they want and need! I do work part-time so I will have plenty of time for your pups!

This will ease your mind knowing your pet is happy, healthy, and in great hands!
