About: I have several years of training by and experience with handling and caring for pets. I have experience with all different animals from being a dog trainer, working in vet clinics to working with large farm animals. I’m currently looking for early morning opportunities and evening opportunities. I’m also open to overnight stays as needed. I can be flexible in those early and evening hours! I provide lots of care for your animals, if they need any maintenance (nails clipped, ears cleaned, medications, etc.) I’m totally comfortable with that from my work experience. I love to spend lots of quality time with your pet and get to know them and what they need!

“Amanda did an outstanding job at checking in and taking care of my cat while I was away. She went above and beyond in her duties and I was so comfortable knowing that my cat was in her hands. I would highly recommend her services to anyone and everyone!”

About: Everyone knows me as the dog-obsessed friend. I've never met a dog I didn't have a connection with. Dogs seem to sense that something is different about me and that I'm the one to go to for extra love and pets. I have particular experience with and compassion for senior dogs. My husband and I rescued an 8 year old black Lhasa Apso in Chicago and got to spend 4 wonderful years making sure her remaining time was filled with love and happiness. That experience opened our hearts and minds to just how special a relationship with an older dog can be, and is what inspired us to open our home to fostering animals. When I'm not fostering or dog sitting, I'm playing with my neph-pups, seeing what the neighborhood dogs are up to, or watching funny dog videos online. I work from home full time as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer. I am able to set my own schedule allowing me the flexibility to be available for all your pet's needs. Our home has a spacious fenced-in backyard for lots of running (plus some daring squirrels and rabbits around that seem to want to be chased). We have an adjustable crate for varying sized fur babies that I line with comfy blankets and padding. We keep the crate in our guest room with a noise machine and overhead fan so they feel comfortable and safe. For dogs who are used to sleeping in a bed, we forego the crate and just let a pup snooze right on the guest bed. If it's your home, I follow your instructions to make sure your pet is as comfortable and happy as if you were still there. I'm also a big photo taker! I will provide pup-dates multiple times a day until you tell me to stop.

“She was on time for all the visits and Aspen loved her.”

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have owned a dog since I was 7. Over the years, I’ve also helped local families care for their dogs while they were traveling, and during college I had the opportunity to help a breeder care for puppies as well as their adult dogs. These experiences gave me the opportunity to work with dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also have hands-on experience working in a veterinary clinic, and I’m currently a second-year veterinary student. Between my personal experience with pets and my veterinary training, I’m comfortable providing attentive, responsible care and following individual instructions for each pet. I’m currently in veterinary school, so my schedule is busiest during the weekdays, but I have more flexibility on weekends for house sitting and longer stays. I’m also available for drop-in visits and walks during the week when my class schedule allows. I’m very intentional about keeping my Rover calendar updated so families know when I’m available. I enjoy spending my free time outside, walking, and being around animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine! I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible while their owner is away. I’m happy to follow specific instructions for feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, and anything else your pet needs. My experience working in a veterinary clinic has also taught me to pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall well-being. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and their family’s home and make sure everything is secure before I leave.

“Very reliable, trustworthy and quickly responds! She checked in/out and sent photos daily. Would highly recommend her and I would definitely book her again!! I even booked her last minute and everything went smoothly.”

Amanda L.

“She did a very great job taking care of my babies. She actually made another visit in between times so they wasn't inside to long. Highly recommend her. I'd definitely have her do it again if she is available. Great job”

About: Hi pet parents! My name is Ly ( pronounced Lee) and I am a seasoned vet tech turned vet student at ISU! I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry (or feathery, scaly, or hoofed!) family members behind. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I have 9 years of experience working in critical care in ER and ICU settings, most recently at the UC Davis Veterinary Teaching Hospital, the #1 vet school in the country. I’m Fear Free Certified, CPR certified, and comfortable caring for pets of all ages with special needs or medical conditions. I also offer nail trimming drop- ins! Beyond my professional life, I’ve shared my home with all kinds of animals, including chickens, dogs, cats, tortoises, and even farm animals, so I understand how much each pet’s unique personality matters. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or just someone patient and gentle, I can help! Their happiness and safety will always be my top priority! I am currently a full time student with classes from 7 am- 5pm weekdays. I prefer check-ins and quality time vs overnight stays at the moment as I have a small older dog of my own. But am open to it for the right client. In the past, clients have allowed me to bring my pup along for overnight stays so please let me know if that is an option. Nonetheless, let me know your pet’s needs and I’ll try my best to help! Of course, caring for every pet is unique. I will work with you and your pet's usual schedule to ensure their needs and yours are being met to perfection! My time as an ER tech taught me the importance of being prepared and cautious, thus I do require parents to fill out my own version of an intake form, which basically outlines your pet's medical history, preferred veterinary ER, medical insurance information, emergency care cost approval, and at least 2 emergency contacts if I am unable to reach you. All of which is to ensure that I am best equip with the tools to get your pet the help they need as soon as possibly if an emergency should arise.

About: Hi! I’m Luana, a 23-year-old veterinary technician with professional experience in veterinary medicine, doggy daycare, and boarding. I’ve also been dog sitting for family and friends since 2018. I am passionate about animal welfare and treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care that I would give my own. Monday to Friday: after 6:30 pm (drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting) Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays: Very flexible (drop in visits, dog walking, and house sitting) I currently offer care in my clients’ homes, as my cat prefers to be the only pet in the household. I believe pets are often most comfortable staying in their familiar environment, where they can maintain their normal routines and experience less stress. During visits, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication administration if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. As a veterinary technician, I am experienced in recognizing signs of illness or discomfort and always prioritize the safety, health, and well-being of the pets in my care. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they are away.

About: For several years, I’ve cared for friends dog while they are away and needing someone to provide care, either extended in home stays or just popping in. I had a dog when I was growing up, and I loved being able to take her on walks and little adventures, now I just have cats. I enjoy walking dogs and taking them to the park for some enrichment and exercise! Providing some time during the day to keep your pet company is something I love to do. As a pet owner, when I'm away for longer than normal, it always makes me feel better knowing my pets have someone to check in on them, so I love to do that for others when I can! I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I am available for daytime care during the work day, as well as last minute care needs! I am happy to take dogs on walks, or to the dog park, and provide engaging play and attention. For cats, I'm happy to follow their cues, hanging out nearby, providing opportunities to play, and come get some affection if they want. I pay close attention to animals and their needs, responding quickly to any cues they are giving me about what they may want or need. If a dog seems stressed, we will head back home and get back to a comfortable space. With cats, I always let them set the pace and get comfortable.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and am around different types of dogs regularly. I am very passionate about caring for dogs. I work part-time and attend college. I am available pretty much every day during the summer, my summer is fairly open until mid August when I go back to school. I have one dog at my apartment, but when I am home, there are three more dogs. I am very attentive when it comes to caring for dogs, and I love to entertain them and take them for walks.

About: I’ve taken care of many friends’ pets in the past and take care of my own 2 year old cat. I’ve also house sat multiple times and feel comfortable with pitties as well. My weekly routine is fairly open right now. I am currently unemployed and have a very flexible arrangement. I will work most weekends as well. I provide lots of love and affection for the animals I stay with and care for as well as follow the instructions to the letter in order to ensure safety.

About: I have pet-sat and walked dogs in my neighborhood and for family and friends. I have stayed overnight, taking care of both cats and dogs for weeks at a time. I care for each pet like mine and take pride in offering reliable, personalized care. I’m great at reading animal body language and adjusting to their comfort level—whether that means lots of play or a calm companion. I work part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets, including overnight care! I am available during the week and on weekends. Even though I pet sit part-time, caring for animals is a big part of my life. I plan my week around the pets I care for, ensuring I have plenty of time to give them the love and attention they need. I respect their routine and the household's privacy when caring for pets in their home. I maintain their feeding, medication, and exercise schedules exactly as instructed, giving pets the same love and attention I would give my own. I keep everything clean and organized, provide regular updates (including photos and notes), and ensure your pet feels safe and comforted while you're away. I'm always happy to water plants, bring in the mail, or take care of other small tasks as needed.

“Kaitlyn was very helpful in coming over to our house and feeding our boy and taking him outside for us after our previous plans fell through. She responded quickly and was able to help us out that day.”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs in my household since I was a child, but my experience caring for cats truly expanded in 2020 when I began fostering kittens of various ages. In 2021, I took my passion further by working as a veterinary assistant, gaining hands-on experience with medical care and daily cat and dog needs. Most recently, in 2024, I worked as a kennel technician at a local animal shelter while on break from college, where I cared for cats and dogs of all personalities and health backgrounds. I am trained in administering medications, handling pets of all ages and temperaments, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I would love the opportunity to bring this experience and care to your furry companions. I’m a college student who is free most afternoons, and, am available for drop ins most days except for Tuesdays, if you're interested in a time, please send me a message and I will respond as quickly as I can, my schedule is fairly flexible! I personalize care for each pet in my care depending on their needs and requirements for me. I am happy to go slow, or jump right in depending on what they need and what their body language is telling me. I also abide by owner requests and requirements such as medication for each pet.

About: I have been a Registered Veterinary Technician since 2024. I work in the small animal emergency/critical care department. I am RECOVER certified and Fear Free certified. I have been an animal my whole life and am now devoted to taking care and improving their lives. I do have a full time job but I start late in the day. If you need me to walk your dog or check in at your home I can do early mornings to early afternoon. My schedule also changes month to month from week days to weekends so depending on the month I can have more availability during my days off. I always make sure to see the comfort levels of animals before interaction. I bad interaction can break your pets trust. My FEAR FREE training has allowed me to work with patients comfort levels and how to appropriately handle scared animals. My CPR RECOVER training certifies me to be able to perform CPR on your pet effectively.
