Dog Sitting in Joliet

About: I’ve lived with and taken care of cats, dogs, and exotic pets my whole life. I’ve been responsible for bathing, walking, giving them food and water, scooping litter boxes, clipping nails, and everything else your pet will need since I could walk. I’ve also pet sat for friends and family before, overnight or just for a check-in. I love spending time with my animals and I hope I get to meet yours too! I’m currently a student at USC, go Gamecocks! On MWF, my classes end at 2 so I am free anytime after that. Tuesdays and Thursdays are a little more spread out, however I should be able to stop in almost whenever to watch your pet! I am totally free on the weekends and can do anything but boarding your pet. Back at my house, I always make sure to be aware of my surroundings if I am outside, watching for other dogs, cars, other animals, or people. I will carry this same caution when taking care of your animals, whether in the home or outside of it!

About: I have owned 3 huskies before because of me being a husky owner. I have dealt with stubbornness and big personalities. I loved their personality! I prefer to do it on weekends because my work schedule is very unpredictable but I have no problem going after work if you need me to! I always pay attention to a dog’s body language. It gives me an idea what they are feeling, how their health is, and overall if their needs are met like food, water, or had enough miles to walk.

About: Longtime pet owner and animal lover here! Nice to meet you :) From one pet owner to another, I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your pet while you are on a trip. That is why I feel so passionate about easing those worries and taking the best care of others pets for them. It is so special to be able to spend time with your fur babies, and to assure you that they will be taken care of so you don’t have any worries! It is my mission to take care of your pets as if they are my own. I always make sure to include lots of play and cuddle time. I include daily walks as well. I especially love to play games with them to tire out those active brains and make things more fun! Hide the treat is a favorite. I am currently in school part time. 3 days out of the week I am gone for about 5 hours. Every other day I would be there most of the day, and never gone for more than a couple hours. During drop in visits I always make sure to spend a few hours with the animals. Playing with them, taking them for walks, and of course giving them all the pets and loving. I know how hard it must be to be away from their family so I make sure that they have the best time while you are away and do not spend too much time alone. Whatever safety measures you require in your home I can make sure to accommodate! I can crate your dog if needed. And I always make sure walks are safe.

About: I've had pets my entire life- cats and dogs both! I love animals, and love taking care of them. If my pets are happy, then I'm happy! I'm self-employed, so my schedule is wide open and set by none other than myself. I can make myself available as needed, and am able to change plans on short notice. I care for pets as if they're my own. I love animals and spending time with them, and I'm always sure to be respectful of whoever's home it is that I'm in.

About: I’ve have grown up in a house with both cats and dogs, very comfortable with large breeds of dogs. I take the time to get to know each animal individually. I work full time and have availability usually everyday after 5pm. I am also available anytime on the weekends as I have those off work. I will follow any house rules and will do what I can to make your pets comfortable with me being in their homes to help take care of them in any way that they need.

“Angela took such great care of our 2 cats. She made sure to give them interactive play, cleaned their boxes and even got some brushing in. She was very communicative and asked so many questions to make sure she knew exactly what our cats needs were.”

Amy R.

“Kinga was great and our dog loved her!! Took her for long walks each visit and always sent pictures of their time together! We will definitely continue to use her services in the future!”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life. Aside from my own pets, I went to Wilco and did their Vet Assistant class my senior year. I took care of a variety of animals, including ferrets and bearded dragons. I loved health care, but would like to go into Radiology once I complete the prerequisites. I am currently a pharmacy technician in training. I work evenings Sunday-Thursday, so I am perfect for mid-work walks or weekend sittings. If given advance notice, I am able to adjust my schedule. I own 2 dogs, one is a pitbull mix and the other is a husky. I am comfortable with high energy dogs and enjoy long walks. I had a senior dog who passed last year at 15.

“Kaylyn was fantastic! She was very communicative and ensured Chloe was enjoying her stay while getting in a good mix of cuddles and exercise. I cannot recommend her enough to take care of your fur babies!”

Brenna M.

“Laniece, was great with my pair of pitties! She picked up after them and I'm so appreciative of that. She gave them lots of love and attention. Took great pics so that my mind was at ease. Thor & Star are looking forward to more visits.”

“Tiana has been visiting Bronson for a few months now and has done great with him. She clearly has a passion for animals and has also given a well written review with all the details of his care.”

About: I am a huge animal lover and dog lover. I have a 1 year old mini dachshund and I love meeting and spending time with new animal friends. I also previously had a rescue dog for 10 years (RIP Lyla 💔) that had severe anxiety, so I am comfortable interacting with dogs who may be shy or unsure of strangers. I have a velcro dog, so I am used to cuddling and keeping a close eye on fur babies. I am comfortable giving medications if needed and I will give all the hugs and kisses and playtime if that is what they want! Due to my other job I am usually only available on weekends. I may have a weekday available here and there, just keep an eye on my calendar for last minute availability! I do have my own dog at home so I can't do overnight stays or house sitting. I prefer to walk dogs with a harness, as they are more secure and safer for everyone. I also keep a close eye and make sure they don't get into anything they're not supposed to. I practice crate training with my own dog, so if your pup needs to go back into a crate after a visit I can definitely handle that.

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: I am a fully licensed veterinary technician in the state of Illinois with an associates degree in Veterinary Medical Technology & I have multiple years of experience with house/pet sitting. I’m currently working full time four days a week until early-late afternoon in the Joliet area, therefore I am available for your pets early morning routine & evening routine. Depending on your location, I am available for mid-day check ins as well. I find myself to be strategic within my care for my own animals & client’s animals. My animals are kept on a consistent schedule & I expect myself to keep the same expectations for my client pet care. I offer stay-in home pet care & drop-ins dependent on your location.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since the age of 8. Growing up I had bunnies, hamsters, fish, and dogs. I currently have 2 dogs of my own. I love the innocence that interacting with animals brings! I currently am available for pet care Monday-Friday, mornings and afternoons. I work from 3-10 and can be very reliable outside of those hours! If it’s reliability and consistency you’re looking for, I can provide that. . I have no problem handling multiple dogs at once on walks/hikes. I love getting out and enjoying fresh air, especially when I have a furry companion!

About: Have always had dogs my entire life. Love to play and cuddle with women's best friend. Taking walks along the way getting our steps in and enjoying the nice day. Have raised several types of dogs. A saint benard and a few Labies and now I have a vezla named Jake from state farm. That was his name at the shelter when my son found him. It was to cute to change. Our pets are our babies. They Also need some great sitters and I would love to help take care of some fur babies. I occasionally take care of my sons dogs when they go out of town. One is a Chihuahua and one is a pity. I have to say that the pit bull is sweeter then the Chihuahua lol.
