13. Hope A.
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since i started volunteering at the animal hospital in freeport il. I started doing that when i was ten years old. I have attended just under two years of schooling towards being a zoologist in the past as well. I started fostering with my grandma when i was 14, and I have successfully adopted out 12 pit bulls that would have been put to sleep :) I have pet sit since i was old enough to babysit kids, my grandparents on my dads side were missionaries and would always have me take care of their three cats Lucy,linus, and peanut. I have also helped Noah's ark and Winnebago country with fostering off and on for many years (20 ). I look forward to snuggling your pooch! I work for myself, and can usually be be available almost anytime you need me to be. I am a very responsible and responsive person. I have a fenced yard, harnessed leads and two smooshy olde English bulldogs to keep your fur baby company. I also have cats they can play with , my cats aren't scared of dogs.

15. Jax B.

“Jax was extremely thorough in caring for my 3 cats and 1 pitbull mix. He cleaned their ears, clipped claws, and brushed my fur babies. He sent me plenty of photos of the pets and kept me well-informed all day. I can read people well and when I met him I knew he was the one to petsit over other candidates because he communicates well and he has integrity.”




16. Lauren G.
“I am so happy to recommend Lauren as a petsitter and dog walker. I've known her for many years and have used her as a pet sitter on many occasions. She is an exceptional caretaker of all animals big and small. She treats all my dogs with love and care and they're always happy upon my return. I trust her to feed, walk, and play with my dogs on a regular basis. She's also given them medication when needed. Lauren has even trained them to do a few tricks. I am also impressed with her reliability and trustworthiness. So much so, that I've passed her name along to friends and relatives, many of whom have used her services to take care of their own pets. Again, I would highly recommend Lauren to give your pets the love and care they need.”


17. Debra S.
“Debra watches our dog Lexi quite often and she is loving, enjoys the company of a pet. She plays with her takes her for walks and has her overnight. I would recommend Debra as a responsible caregiver to your dog. Donna”

“Highly recommend Diana. Our Daisy loved her immediately at our initial meet and greet. She kept us informed of how Daisy was doing while we were away. Very in tune with the needs of our girl.”


19. Natasha M.
About: I have taken care of all types of dogs ranging from very small to very large. I am very comfortable around all animals. I am very cautious and alert since I have a husky who runs. I grew up on a farm, so I am also used to all sorts of animals, such as horses and pigs. I am an early childhood education major at Northern Illinois University. I currently work at Rockton Grade, School, as an assistant teacher, and have the summer off, and the fall as I am doing to student teach in the spring. I am very reliable and flexible. I am more of a homebody, so I am usually enjoying activities, such as gardening, reading, and painting. I know how to communicate properly and will always make sure to give updates and stay in frequent touch. I am currently working at Rockton Grade school, but I have the summer off since it is now summer break. I am home until after winter break when I start student teaching! I have open availability Sunday through Monday, but in primarily looking for work during the weekdays of Monday through Friday. I am very accustomed to animals. I currently have a full bred Siberian husky. That is my best friend. We do many things together and he is fully trained. He does like to get out and run when possible so I am very cautious at all times with doors, and with leashes, when on a walk or a bathroom break. I make sure to provide a clean environment if animals were ever to come over to my residence. Otherwise, I am very neat and organized. I have no trouble with keeping things clean and safe for animals. I know how hard it is to leave a furry baby and I do my best to make you feel as good as possible, just like I would when leaving my animals!

“Taylor LOVES animals! II would not hesitate for a moment leaving my dog in her care. Taylor will go above and beyond. She will take care of your precious one just like you would!!”
