Dog Sitting in Inverness

About: hello! my name is charlize i’m 22 i’ve grown up with animals my whole life and now i currently work at an animal hospital helping taking care of the dogs and cats that come in to see the vet. i’m very experienced with animals and taking care of animals and i love all different kinds of animals. i’ve worked at the animal hospital now for two and a half years and its been the most amazing two and a half years of my life. i am also going to school to practice becoming a veterinarian so i am really excited to meet all new furry friends for more experience. i am good with administering medication, i am good with dealing with aggressive dogs, i am good with any diabetic cat or dog with dosing insulin. you name it and i can do it!! i work part time hours at the animal hospital during the summer months and full time during fall and winter but i am extremely flexible, as i work on my terms and conditions. i am willing to fit last minute accommodation if it works with my personal schedule but i can also take time out of my day if needed to walk a dog etc. i unfortunately cannot have pets in my building but i am more than willing and able to go to anyone else’s beloved home to pet sit, or walk, or feed animals. i come in with a soft expression and wait for the animals to get used to me and my scent and then i wait for their approval to come further in their home/space. i am very careful to not touch them when they don’t want to be touched and i am always patient with animals especially if they’re new to my route.

“Elyse was great! She came on time. Played with Agnes and made sure she got some exercise, treats, potty breaks and food! Agnes was well cared for.”

“Christina was great with Pepper! She was so sweet and caring, and when our original request changed to include giving some meds, she was more than happy to help. She was easy to work with, reliable, and I’ll gladly rebook with her in the future.”

About: Hi there! ☺️ With over 10 years of experience caring for animals - both in-home and at professional facilities - I’ve pretty much seen it all (and loved every second of it)! I currently work at a luxury pet resort, where I’m lucky enough to pamper pups (and their human parents), and keep all kinds of furry friends happy and healthy. 🐾 I’ve also worked at a horse stable and have hands-on experience with senior dogs, cats, birds and even fish. I grew up with a lovable Maltese and stray cat, so I know just how important it is to treat every pet like family. Whether your fur baby needs cuddles, playtime, or just someone to keep them company, I’ve got things covered! 🐶🐠🐱🐴🐢 I work full-time at a luxury pet resort, but I’m available for pet care during early mornings, evenings, and weekends, with a flexible schedule to accommodate whatever you and your furry-friend's needs are! ☺️ My biggest priority is to make both you and your fur baby feel safe and well-cared for. This includes fostering an environment around your pet that is happy, calm and full of fun! With my many years of experience, you can always count on me to advocate for you and your pet's greatest needs!

“Samantha did an amazing job watching our cat. She was very reliable, gave great updates, and took care of our cat when he got sick.”

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in my own home and for people close to me. I’m especially comfortable with dogs who do best with calm routines, clear instructions, slower walks, and consistent attention. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, water, potty breaks, comfort, weather, leash safety, and each pet’s personality. I’m a good fit for pet parents who want someone reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative. I prefer meet-and-greets before first bookings so I can understand the pet’s routine, triggers, medical needs, emergency contacts, and household expectations. I currently focus on small and medium dogs, senior pets, walks, drop-ins, and selective house sitting. My availability is currently best for weekends, select weekdays, and planned bookings with advance notice. I’m offering walks, drop-ins, and selective house sitting while keeping my schedule realistic so I can provide reliable care. I prefer meet-and-greets before first bookings and do best with pet parents who provide clear routines, access instructions, and expectations. I take safety and trust seriously. For walks, I pay close attention to leash handling, weather, heat, traffic, other dogs, and each pet’s comfort level. For house sitting or drop-ins, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, provide updates and photos, and make sure food, water, potty breaks, and comfort needs are handled consistently. I ask about bite history, reactivity, separation anxiety, medications, cameras, emergency contacts, and whether anyone else will enter the home during the booking. I may decline bookings that involve unsafe leash behavior, aggression, unmanaged reactivity, or care needs outside my experience.

“Giada was wonderful & took great care of our cat while we were away. Our cat doesn’t tend to do well with new people but warmed up to Giada during our meet & greet almost immediately.”

My schedule is currently flexible as I am in between work allowing me to be available morning-evenings. Whether you’re looking for a morning walk or running late from work I can be there.

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, helped raise two puppies. I volunteered at a puppy shelter! I am good with high energy and senior dogs. Over the summer I work from 8:00-12:30 am so before and after that I am completely free! Can care for the pet mornings, afternoon and nights! I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for a dog even for a short amount of time. And will make sure the animal is safe and protected within my care.

“Vanessa is very patient with Ozzie who can be a little nervous. She is so great and caring.”

About: Hi! My name is Faci and I am a long time dog owner and a huge animal lover. I have had my dog for 13 years now, but I have also cared for other animals as well. In those 13 years my dog and I have learned a lot from each other. I learned more about patience, care, and responsibility from owning a dog than I have with any other job! I am capable of not only keeping an eye on your pet, but connecting with them and giving them what they need. I know pets are like our own children, and deserve only the best care. I am excited to get to know your pets and love them as if they were my own!

“Jazalyn did a great job caring for our two pups while we were gone. Feeding, walking, and keeping them entertained for several drop-ins a day. Highly recommend!”

“Great, as always.”

“We have rebooked Amanda a few times now! She is great with our dogs, communicates very well and the pups just love her!”

About: I am a Special Education teacher who works at a Therapeutic School by day and an animal lover all day and night. I do not have kids but I have 3 cats and babysit my friends and families fur babies any chance I get. Pets have free range of my home, they can relax on the couch, chair and bed whenever they want. I have experience watching dogs from pups-elderly. I volunteer at a local animal rescue in Palatine and bring in therapy dogs to visit my classroom. I rescued and adopted a deaf kitty with one eye, and I've always had animals in my home. I am a non-smoker and vegan (vegans really do love animals). For any overnight/weekend stays, I will be home and available to play, go for lots of walks and hangout all weekend long with your fur baby. Regular walks, feedings, playtime and relaxation based on your dogs needs is my priority. I have three loving cats who will keep your dog company. I have a small backyard that is away from cars/traffic and a large front yard. I have a dog tie out and spiral stake for dogs that want to roam around my unfenced front and/or backyard. Playdates with neighboring dogs is always an option or solo, quiet time if they prefer. I can keep your pet on their walking/feeding/play/sleep schedule as you request.

About: I’m a dedicated and loving pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and needs—including my own big reactive German Shepherd, who is truly the star of my life. Through daily care, training, and attention, I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog behavior, structure, and what makes pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I recently moved to the area, so I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. This allows me to give pets the attention, consistency, and care they need. I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, habits, and needs so they feel secure and cared for—whether in my home or yours, or a walk.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have 8 years of experience as a dog owner and 2 years of experience as a cat owner. I also worked at Petco during college, where I gained valuable knowledge about pet care, behavior, and the unique needs of different animals. In addition to pet sitting, I am currently going back to school to be an teacher and work as a substitute teacher, which reflects my responsible, patient, and dependable nature. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own. Whether it's walks, playtime, or feeding, I'm committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care while you're away. I am currently going back to school to be an elementary school teacher through an online program, and I work as substitute teacher. With the kids on summer break, my summer is wide open! In your home, I will follow your rules to a TEE. My dog is the type of dog that if he got outside of our fence, then he would sprint away, and my cat is the type of cat that if she were to get outside, she would also sprint away. I know how serious it is to care for dogs and cats, and I will treat your pets just as if they were my own: they will get their meals, their bathroom breaks, their walks, and their play time, just as you request.

“Deepthi was great at watching my cat! She did everything I asked and had great communication. Cat seemed very happy and healthy when I returned home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
