“Georgia was great during a drop in visit with our fur babes. She was very communicative and helped alleviate any anxiety I had about traveling and out of cell phone range.”
“Hunter really helped me out with a last minute request to check in on my kitties on a holiday weekend, and even spent extra time with them”
“Excellent dog watcher!! It was my second time hiring Daniel and was such a comfort to travel while letting my senior dog stay at home. Daniel did great, kept me up to date with pictures and information about my dogs eating and drinking habits. Would definitely recommend if your like me and want your dog to stay in his comfort zone, hiring Daniel to look after your pet.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals as far back as I can remember. Growing up we had horses, cats, dogs, and even pet crows at times. I’m a huge animal lover and currently have two cats of my own. I’d love to have a dog also but not quite ready for that full-time commitment…I’m happy to be able to help others with their dogs as I am able! I have been asked by friends and family members to house sit, do check-ins, dog walks, etc and I truly love it. I do work full-time but work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I would be more available to do boarding, check-ins, or walking in the evenings and on weekends. Currently I have two cats so i don’t have any dog crates but would have plenty of space for you to bring your own. I don’t have a fenced in yard but will do regular leash walks. My cats are pretty friendly but could be contained in the basement if need be.
About: I have had pets in the house since I was a kid. Dogs, cats, hermit crabs, rats. I’m punctual and able to adhere to your rules/guidelines concerning your pet. I’m currently retired enjoying my time at home. Will work part time in the fall. We have 2 responsible adults and a teenager in our home that can take care of any needs or playtime your pet may need. I have a fenced yard and one high energy doggie that eats twice a day. Potty breaks are always available. I have 2 gentle, loving cats that enjoy being around other people and dogs.
“Michele was great! She dropped in over 4 days to feed, administer medication to and clean up after my 4 cats. My cats were well taken care of and happy. Michele is also very responsive to messages and I was never worried. Would definitely recommend her services.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life as my family always had a dog. I have helped raise puppies and taken care of all dogs, indoor and outdoor. I have so much fun with dogs and love taking them with me on walks! I currently am a college students who has class during the days, but my classes only take around 3 hours a day. On thursdays, I do have a job I work during the day from 7 am- 3pm. I also do have a part time job that’s schedule changes week to week but currently I’m not working much there! Regardless if you let your dog out in your yard without a leash, I will be requiring a leash (if there are no fences) to keep your dog safe and others around safe. I especially think play time and walking tim are important for animals and their health! I will not be someone who pops in and out super fast and I will build a connection with your pets!
About: Hi, I’m Lilia! I’ve been caring for pets for over seven years and absolutely love spending time with animals of all kinds. During the school year, I work in education, but in the summer, I dedicate my time to helping families care for their pets while they’re away or busy. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or other furry (or feathered!) friends, I’m reliable, gentle, and always attentive to each pet’s unique needs. I’m based in both Normal, IL and Chicago, and I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine to keep them feeling safe and happy in your absence. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine! I’m currently available Monday through Wednesday and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they need. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings, I’m able to plan my day around each pet’s specific needs. I enjoy spending time outdoors and find pet care to be one of the most rewarding parts of my week. I always care for pets as if they were my own—whether I’m in my home or theirs. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routines to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and regular feedings, and I always keep their environment clean and cozy. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I create a calm and welcoming space with access to water, toys, and a comfy place to rest. I also stay in touch with pet parents with regular updates and photos so they know their furry friend is in good hands.
“Jasmine was perfect, I could tell she cared a lot and it was nice getting daily check ins!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats professionally for a little over 2 years as a veterinary assistant. As a vet assistant, I have administered medications, fluids, and medicine, as well as to know the proper restraint and response to behavior in dogs and cats when in need. I have also watched friends and families pets and I am very skillful in many aspects for pet care. Back at home, I also have a Belgian Malinois, a Shih Tzu, 3 cats, and a husky before that, so I have had my fair share of breeds to work with personally and understand every pet has their unique personalities and needs! I am currently working a part time job while in college but I am free to work around my schedule on the weekends and evenings on weekdays! No matter what the care, whether that be giving your pet their daily medicine, feeding them, or simply giving the attention the need, I am there and take my tasks seriously and attentively.
“Dogs loved her. She was prompt and on time. Her updated were informative and as always love getting pics of the puppers. Highly recommend Destiny.”
About: I have a lot of pet care experience and animal care in general! I’ve worked at two zoos and have always been surrounded by furry and scaley critters. I recently just went through the training of my own puppy as well. My schedule is very flexible and I am very willing to work with you! I can visits, but also can do whole days of needed. I have one dog and a fenced yard. I have a cat and a bearded dragon as well. My dog is very well trained, lives to okay, and has never shown aggression to anything.
“Jacey was great with our cat! I would hire her again!”
“Rachel was fantastic, and our Penny loved her! Rachel was very prompt with all of her communications, and she offered to come by and do a meet and greet before our appointment with her. We also appreciated her willingness to stop by for a second puppy visit after we found out we would be delayed getting home. Great young lady and a great puppy sitter!”
About: I have always had a dog in my house since I have been a kid. A house is not a home without a dog. I will treat your dog as if he/she were part of my family. I am working part time and want to spend some time with your dog. I work every other weekend as a nurse, and have some free time during the week to check in on your dog while you are away. I can provide walks, medications as needed & play time for your dog. I can groom your dog (if they like it), too! Looking forward to meeting him/her.
About: Ive been taking care of animals from a young age. Ive looked after small animals from cats to big animals like cows! I have a huge passion for animals and caring for them. I work part time currently, which gives me a lot of time to be able to care for your pets! I am very flexible, just give me a heads up on time and day and I will try my best. I am super reliable and super trust worthy. I will always pay attention to detail and will make sure your pet is in good hands.
“Camille took excellent care of our two cats. One required daily meds and she was very diligent about getting her the meds.”
About: Welcome to my page! My passion is spreading the love, and we do that by being loving animal owners ourselves. I have been a caregiver for 25 years and have experience with animals small to large, hedgehog to horse. We love them all! My home is a Safe Haven for all or we come by your house where animals feel most at home. We enjoy caring for a variety of animals and sharing toys, walks, and of course belly rubs. It really gives us a happy boost so we seek it out often. Our home is an isolated farm house with plenty of roaming room, no electric fences or shock collars here. Just one on one attention. We are a house of many cards, actually animals. We have two dogs, 4 fish, 60 birds including chickens, Guinea fowl, and ducks. We’ve been blessed with the opportunity to help rescue and release some back yard birds like doves and finches. We really do have a niche for this! I'm currently a stay at home mom of kids and animals. During the day I’m available to come by and say hi, or you can drop off and pick up around your work schedule. We live in an isolated area in the country(only 3 neighbors within a mile). No fence but we do have a lead if needed and we are always outside with our puppy playing and running. Animals are allowed to sleep on the floors or in my bed. We do have crates when necessary and we only give pure freeze dried liver as treats.
About: I’ve grown up showing and raising all kinds of animals. I have experience with all kinds of animals, cows pigs, goats, and of course smaller animals like cats and dogs. But I love all of them and have gotten very familiar with taking care of animals, and making sure they’re comfortable as well. I live on a farm, so pet care is part of my daily life anyways, and I’m used to having to fit that into my schedule, even when busy, so if I have another to take care of, that’s no issue! My animals are definitely cared for. They have a huge yard with plenty of room to run; and plenty of companions. They are played with and they get lots of love, and your pet would be no different.
“Julie took care of my two cats while I was away on vacation. She sent me updates every day and took the time to play with my rowdy 2-year-old cat to help him release his pent-up energy. It was great knowing that they were in such good hands while I was away!”

She does great with my kitty and hamster Juice too, her enclosure was nice and clean when I came back, so was the kitty’s litter box.”

10. Kylie M.
“Kylie has worked at my veterinary hospital for over two years now. She has shown an ability to learn different task needed to work at the clinic. She has shown a great ability to handle both cats and dogs of varying temperaments. She has been a very reliable and responsible employee to the point we are always saddened when her breaks from college are over and she has to leave the clinic to return to her education. I have no doubt Kylie would be an exceptional worker and would have no issues dealing with the animals. Dr. Kenneth Overmyer Shorewood Animal Hospital LLC”

“I highly recommend Josh as a pet sitter. He has watched my dog multiple times, and each experience has been fantastic. He is incredibly responsible, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. My dog absolutely adores him and is always excited to see him! Josh goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for—whether it’s sticking to feeding routines, going on long walks, or just spending quality time with them. He’s also great at sending updates and photos, which gives me total peace of mind when I’m away. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, patient, and truly great with dogs, you’ll be in excellent hands with him.”

15. Ross G.
“Ross is GREAT with my fur baby! She always knows that she is going to be spoiled with love when he is around. Ross is great on walks (even though our good girl isn’t the most experienced on a leash), and does a good job of engaging with her/rewarding her throughout the walk. Ross clearly has experience with dog manners/basic dog training and isn’t nervous around bigger dogs! I would trust Ross with my pupper ANY day of the week — and know that she would be extremely well cared for!”
16. Angela B.

18. Brittany S.
“I have known Brittany for a few years now and seen her with her pets. The love and care that she has shown to her animals and other pets that have come to her care. The farm she lives on is just a little out of town but is easily accessed and it gets the pets a lot of room to play. She has taken care of my dogs well and would easily trust her to do so again.”
