Pet Sitting in Kankakee

“It was our very first time using this service and we were a bit nervous. Jeff was available even on the short notice. From the first time we met Jeff we felt good. He is an experienced sitter. Cats felt comfortable around him. Jeff was very responsible. He ensured we received photos from each visit. Cats looked good and relaxed. Definitely will be calling him again in the future.”

About: For as long as I can remember, dogs have been an important part of my life. I grew up with a Maltese poodle, and helped take care of her as she grew into her senior years. Most of my family members have dogs, and we consider them as family, not just pets. Within the last year, my husband and I got a new puppy, and I'm adoring being a dog mom! With this in mind, don't be afraid to ask if I'm willing to watch your young puppy. Age is not a problem for me, and I am happy to come alongside your training process if you wish. I guarantee that your fluffy friend will be in the best of hands as you come to me for your pet-sitting needs. I will be sure to offer frequent photo updates and check-ins, and my puppy would love to come with me as I care for your pet, providing them with a new fluffy friend! I would love to make quality pet care my part-time job this summer, so I am happy to work with your schedule. I am available any day of the week except for Sundays. My routine with my own pup includes lots of exercise (to get that puppy energy out) and snuggle time too. However, I am happy to cater to your dog's age and stage of life. While walking your furry friend, I will be extra mindful and only take them on routes I know are trustworthy and safe. In your home, you can trust me with all of their needs and to be respectful of your family's space. I will send frequent updates and photos of your pet, and will do my very best to blend in with your pet's pre-established schedule, so their needs will be more than met.

“Emma is once again amazing. Great care of our cats but even more impressive was that she found and handled an unexpected bat!! I imagine many individuals would simply pretend they didn’t see it and walk away. She notified immediately and we found a solution. My dad and husband (along with myself) were impressed by her poise and calm under pressure. We are so thankful!”

About: I have watched dogs and cats both long term and short term since 2018. From my parents’ pets for a day, to a 4 months house and pet-sitting arrangement in California I have had good experiences caring for animals. I take their care as seriously as I would my own pet, but respect the rules and routines set up by the pet parents. I am currently unemployed outside of this, so I have tons of availability and time to focus on YOUR pets and their needs. I can spend as much or as little time with them as needed. I care for pets based on the instructions of their normal care takers, while focusing on basic care and schedule. It’s important to me that pets feel safe and their routine is not disturbed too much. If allows, I also like to give plenty of pets and cuddles to any animals that’s accept it.

“Megan did absolutely amazing. She took such great care of all of my animals and was in great communication with me about everything. She took my dog on walks every morning and made sure he loved on and taken care of for his nights. I would highly recommend Megan and we will be using her again!”

About: I’ve had animals since I could remember! I went to college for Pre-Veterinary Medicine. I also have two dogs that loves to play with other dogs! I’m going to nursing school so I am almost always home! I’m sure your pet will have so much fun at my house with Sophie and Olive. You won’t have to worry about your animal getting into anything. I would prefer a cage be brought for when my boyfriend and I are not home, I do not want them getting into something they shouldn’t, but if not I also have a camera in the main room of the house to spy on them hehe! Late pick up fee: if 2-8hr late I charge 50% of daily rate, more than 8hr late will be charged the daily rate. After 8pm pickup will be charged $20, unless stated at time of original booking. Also if your dog jumps fences this is not the place to book! I have a 3.5ft and 4ft fencing on majority of the yard. My backyard has some 6ft fencing as well. Currently staying at home while in school so I have plenty of time to take care of animals! They can get water and potty breaks whenever needed. I have a fully fenced yard, front and back, as well as two very friendly and energetic pups to play with. Your pup will definitely be worn out!

“Devon was amazing with our schedule and our pets. One of my cats is ill with cancer and requires special care when providing chemotherapy. Devon did not shy away from this and was able to provide this care while I was away on a work trip. I would recommend her for any of your pets needs!”

“Taylor is Ollie’s bestie - he even greets her at the door! No one else merits that attention from him - not even us!”

About: Tyson was my first dog I got when I turned 17. We traveled everywhere together & he showed me how loving an animal can truly be. I am the first one my friends call to watch their animals. I absolutely love taking them on walks & I will love your fur baby like my own. I am currently working part time. I usually work around four to five days a week. And Im usually off Saturdays thru Mondays. Give or take I rent a home with a fenced in backyard. I do currently have 2 dogs. (Chihuahua mixes and a heeler mix.) they are crate trained so if you’re more comfortable with them staying separated from your baby(ies) that is absolutely no problem, depending on the duration of the stay.

“Lee did a great job caring for our three cats and guinea pigs. Leaving town is extremely stressful for me given how much I love my animals, and her care made the experience much easier.”

“Trinity was a life saver. Our house-sitter left early and locked one of our cats in the room and trinity was able to come over for a drop in last minute. She cared for our cats, sent lots of pictures and gave them all the love that we weren't able to while away. We weren't able to meet and greet before hand but during the conversation she just made us feel like she had our home and cats in our best interest! Definitely booking her for regular drop ins.”

“You are always so good with our pets and our home. I know my babies love you and I trust no one else to watch them. You even checked on Reggie when I said he would be fine. Which made me and my wife so happy you did that even though you didn’t need to.”

About: Hi! My name is Ruthie, and I’ve been around dogs my whole life (& have adopted my best friend of three years!) From training puppies to caring for senior dogs, I have experience with all stages of a pup’s life. I’ve also pet-sat for family dogs on and off for about two years and have had my own dogs for 8 years, so I understand how important it is to find someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry family members. I’m patient, attentive, and love spending time with dogs—whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them the attention they deserve. I also have experience with basic training and can reinforce commands if needed. Every dog has their own personality, and I take the time to ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine since I work part-time and take all my university classes online. This gives me the flexibility to schedule walks, playtime, and check-ins without conflicts. I can easily adjust my availability to meet your pet’s needs and ensure they’re well cared for while you’re away. I provide pet care through check-in visits and dog walking. I prioritize each pet’s routine and comfort, ensuring they feel safe and well cared for while their owner is away. Please let me know any important details about your dog or anything I should prepare in advance to help them feel as comfortable as possible.

About: I am currently a student aspiring to be a veterinarian technician, so this would be a great experience for me and my career in the future! I love animals of all kinds and really care for them and their well-being! I’m currently a student so my schedule changes here and there but i’m mostly free! I am very communicative so if there’s ever a scheduling issue I will let you know! I will show your dog complete love and attention in the times that you are away! I’ve trained my dogs in the past and really know how to work with them!!

“Tessa did a great job taking care of my three kitties and our bearded dragon! The litter was taken care of, and my kitties got their soft food every day while I was away.”

About: I have owned many pets over the years. I currently own a Labrador retriever who is an award-winning dock diver, a cat, and a horse. I have worked as a veterinarian technician and currently work as a nurse so I am knowledgeable about illnesses and injuries, both animal AND human! (they really aren't that much different!). I am looking to supplement my income doing something I love. I have had experience working with professional trainers. I have rescued an unknown amount of critters over the years and have either kept them, found their owners, or found them good homes. if i can keep up with my rambunctious lab, I can keep up with anybody! I will care for your fur children like they were my own! I am available afternoons, evenings, and at night for night shift workers. I am an RN and work 3 12 hour night shifts every week. I can care for your pet after work in the morning, and on my nights off in the afternoons, evenings, and even in the middle of the night if you are a night shift worker! I am unable to care for pets in my home or yours as I have my own fur critters that I have to take care of.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life! Lap dogs, hunting dogs and elderly dogs. I love dogs and would love to take care of yours! Thanks for looking! I am currently working as a hvac service technician! I start my day early and end early! I have plenty of time after work to take care of your beloved pets! I have a fenced in back yard and do not have a pet myself so you wouldn’t have to worry about any other pets being around yours!

About: I’ve taken care of my family’s dog since I was 10, bathed,walked,etc. I have my own dog (10yo), he loves meeting other animals and so do I! I’m currently working part time until 8am-3pm so anytime in the afternoon for a walk,potty break would be amazing. The weather is no issue to me either. Pictures will always be included, feel free to calls as well. Animals are never outside alone or without a leash, crates are optional up to you.

About: I've had experience taking care of animals (& dogs) of all sizes. I had a Great Dane for almost 8 years and I've also had small dogs so I know what to expect from any sized dogs. I love playing with dogs since they're so fun and high energy which is something I can relate to. Animals in general have always seemed to really like me for some reason. I've had pets throughout my entire life so I'm very used to being around animals of all sorts. I've had dogs, cats, fish, rats, a rabbit, a hedgehog, and a tarantula. I have a B.S. in biology with a focus on animals in my studies. I love all animals, but have always found myself to be a cat person at heart! I'm available after 3pm and all day on weekends. My work schedule is subject to changes, but I'm also rather flexible when it comes to times, just reach out to me. I have a fenced in yard, but I feel more comfortable with pets in a place where they're also most comfortable with me, so I've found not coming to my home better.
