“Alexis was awesome and kept my Cali company while I had to be away. Cali sure is enjoying the toy Alexis gave her. I will be sure to use Alexis anytime I need assistance with Cali.”

“Emily did great with my dogs and I know she took excellent care of them. My babies can be a handful and she never once complained. She gives a lot of details in her communications and I really do like that. It puts me at ease knowing my babies are well taken care of”
About: Had pets all 24 years of my life, and now own a King Cavalier Charles who is a joy to everyone and everything. I would be a great host to anyone who comes into my home. Have taught my animals tricks and trained them as well. I work from home on Monday’s and Friday’s so I would be available to be with the animal at all times and take them out every few hours on those days and weekends. I frequently like to take breaks at work which means lots of play time. My community is large and very safe. It includes a dog park and lots of paths to walk miles on. The pets are allowed on furniture. I am a smoke free home. I have a pup at home who loves everyone and is eager to make some friends!

About: I’ve owned a Labrador and Rottweiler, so I’m experienced in handling breeds with good and bad reputations. No dog is too big for me to care for and no dog is too small, either. I have about 200 hours of job shadowing experience at a veterinary clinic, so I’ve had exposure to cats and dogs of all kinds of sizes and behaviors. I currently own 4 cats and am experienced in caring for them and their environment. I also have experience in caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I own 2 rabbits currently. I’m unemployed, so I tend to have lots of free time, meaning I have lots of time I can spend caring for your pets with the utmost care. I have a large, fenced yard and large areas inside my house for animals to roam and play in. All my pets are friendly towards newcomers.
“Jen is top quality dog care. She puts her heart and soul into your pet. Prezi loves her. I highly recommend Jen. I couldn't ask for a better person to take care of my baby girl. Thank you for being so good Jen”
“She was extremely kind and patient with the dogs! Our dog had a few accidents but she was super nice and understanding and cleaned it up for us! We would recommend her!”
“Lora went above and beyond this past visit and deservingly earned 5 stars. She checked in on Snoopy one extra time because she wasn't sure I made it back home from vacation and she even bought her Snoopy a new toy. Way to go and I can't wait to have her back to care for my pets.”
About: I have always been involved with pet care since I was a kid. I have twelve years on a farm, eight years at Chicago k9 Rescue, and six years with Spizziri Reptile Rescue. With my years of experience I have administered medications, changed bandages, fed premature pets around the clock, cut nails for cats and pups, bathed them when needed, etc. I also really enjoy building trust with the ones who struggle trusting. I also have knowledge with basic training for resource guarding, potty training, and recall. This fits perfectly with my schedule and allows me to have flexibility. I currently have an open schedule until my school semester starts up again in mid October. There is no one answer for this. I believe this changes depending on pet type, breed, age, health, etc. I will make sure I communicate effectively with each client. Make sure I keep detailed notes for each. I am extremely proactive, so I make sure I cover all my bases when it comes to safety and trust. I will do everything I would want to be done with my babies.

“Pam is the perfect person to be a pet caregiver. She has watched and cared for my dog as well as my son’s when we have been out of town. Pam even let them out more times then we asked just because she wanted to visit with them. Her dog is the center of her life and feels all owner should be the same way. She loves the outdoors and takes her dog walking many times a day. Either through town or on the trail, she is always prepared with water, treats and waste bags. She loves to go to pet events so her dog has play time with others Pam is a very responsible person and I can always count on her to be there whenever needed.

Amparo G.
“Amparo is my number one choice when it comes to pet care for my spicy kitty. He's had behavioral problems since he was a small kitten and Amparo has not only learned how to peacefully interact with him, but they have also created quite the unique and adorable bond. Salem needs extra attention due to overstimulation, meaning he needs you to read his cues. Amparo has done a wonderful job caring for Salem, reading those cues and teaching me a few things along the way.I couldn't ask for a better sitter!”
