House Sitting in Machesney Park

“Brandi was great with our dog and two cats! She even got our shy cat to come out for pets. She sent lots of pictures and treated our animals like her own! It was so nice to leave and know our animals were in good hands.”

“Ezra stayed with our puppy for 2 nights and made it so easy for us to travel. They were very communicative the entire time, in planning and during the stay. Our puppy was well cared for - they did a great job! We’ll definitely book again.”

“Abbey took such great care of my dog and home while I was away! She sent the cutest photo updates and went above and beyond keeping my dog company. She did a fabulous job, it was so reassuring having her stay with my pup and I will definitely have her house sit again!”

About: I am 28, I've lived with dogs my whole life. Growing up my grandparents had 3 dogs Chance, Buster and Benji and they all had their own unique personalities growing up. Ever since I was born I had a dog, moving to Dekalb, I had a dog, I am in the process of moving to my own place and I am not guaranteed to be able to have an animal when moving so to be able to keep that connection on a consistent basis, while making money and hopefully one day creating a career down the line with this I can get even a client or 2 to start to be able to walk or dog sit your sweet, loving fur baby! ❤️ I am able to dog walk or sit at any scheduled time (at least 24 hours in advance) Otherwise I can be reached at my number for dog walks in the Loves Park, Rockford, Belvidere Illinois area during the times of 7am-8pm With growing up with dogs we've always cared for our dogs and even our current dog now by obviously loving them as you would a child, giving them love, attention, bathing them, walking them, feeding them and giving them water, brushing their hair, cleaning up their waste after they've relieved themselves. All the things you'd do to love and care for your own child you should do no different for a fur baby.

“We needed someone to care for our dog, Foxen, for a few hours on a Saturday night. Brittany came and left on time, followed all of our instructions, and even fed our cats. Will definitely be using her again. Thanks, Brittany!”

About: Hi, I’m LaShay! With over 20 years of experience caring for animals, I know how to make pets feel loved and cared for. Whether it’s fun walks, cozy cuddles, or giving lots of attention, I treat every pet like family. Your furry friend will be safe, happy, and in great hands with me! What sets me apart from other pet caregivers is my deep passion and 20+ years of experience treating animals like family. I focus on building trust and creating a safe, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and happy. I pay attention to every little detail, from their favorite activities to their unique needs, ensuring they get personalized care. With me, it’s not just pet care—it’s building a bond of love, comfort, and happiness for your furry family member. Pet care is a natural part of my life, as I prioritize creating a safe and trusting environment. I ensure every pet feels loved, comfortable, and well-cared for. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. In my home, they have plenty of space to move around, play, and relax. I never put animals in crates unless their owner specifically asks me to. In a client’s home, I follow their routine and make sure their pet feels happy and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet time, I create a loving and stress-free environment for every pet.

About: I have many years of cat and dog sitting including my own pets and friends and family as well some neighbors as well I love it I have open availability and love to spend time with pets at all times and would like to experience new adventures with some new pets I have a fenced yard and a spare room to keep them separated if necessary from my own pets we have small children that are good with animals

About: My whole life I’ve been around dogs. Practically everyone in my friends and family have a pup of varying sizes. I’ve been trusted to feed and walk their fur babies. My sister adopted a senior dog a couple of years ago, and it has been my biggest pleasure to get to know her better as well as what separates a senior dog from a younger one. I have been trusted to stay with her, take her outside to potty, take her on walks, and feed her whenever my sister is away. Each day is different, so I’ve been able to adapt on the fly to suit her needs for each day best. I have a flexible work schedule, so even though I have more traditional work hours, I can take 30 minutes or an hour to come visit with your pet and let them outside to walk or potty based on their needs. I do not work after 4pm, so if you need me overnight with your pet, they will have my full attention until 8am the next morning when I go to work. I am able to leave work briefly to check up on your pet during the day as well. I am someone who enjoys a clean space. Our furry friends deserve to have a clean space themselves and clean bodies. If there is mud to be wiped off of their paws, I will happily take care of it, and clean up any mud that was tracked inside. Anything that I can do to pamper your pet and make them feel safe around me is the least I can do. I look forward to making new furry friends!

“Lili was a pleasure to work with. She was very responsive and always kept me posted with pictures and videos of my 2 cats. We were gone for 10 days and she stayed at our house, I felt very safe with knowing she was there. The cats both got their medications and I will use her services when we travel. Highly recommend her to take care of fur babies. She is very sweet, thank you Lili.”

“Debbie is fantastic with my dog, Ribsy. I think he likes her better than me. She is very attentive to him. She brushed a sweater's worth of fur off of him. She made changes in his diet when he wasn't feeling well. She kept me up to date with frequent photos and videos. She is a wonderful person and I highly recommend her for your pet.”

“Connie did a fabulous job with our three dogs and one cat. Two of our dogs are on meds and she handled that with no problems. We have no hesitation in having Connie housesit for us again.”

About: Animal welfare is a passion of mine. I've had one animal or another since I was a child and am pursuing a career as a professional dog trainer. Dogs are definitely what I know the most about. I have experience with senior, special needs, and even nursing mothers with newborn pups. I've also fostered and worked for a shelter before. If there is something you are struggling to train your dog that you would like me to try my hand at while they are in my care, I would be more than willing to get more practice in for an extra charge! I look forward to working with you all! I work from home so have a flexible schedule. The only conflict usually is kid school pick up and drop off. After 9:30 am or after 3:30 pm usually works. My dog is dog-friendly and while maybe a little overwhelming wants to play with cats not eat them. I can muzzle and crate train as needed.

“Absolutely phenomenal care with Bailey. We just lost our boy so we needed someone to watch our girl and Bailey absolutely loved the new friend she made! Thank you for taking good care of our baby! Will definitely book again!”

About: I grew up with animals in the house my entire life. Very few things bring me more joy than interacting with animals. I currently have an 8 year old miniature schnauzer that is my lil old lady bestie and I love her dearly. She came from an abusive home so I have some experience with trauma and anxiety in dogs. Caring for my lil lady has taught me patience and responsibility which I would carry with me in my work with your pets. I recently adopted three rescue cats and i’ve been having the time of my life learning new things about cats and how to care for them. They are so much fun. I have lots of experience in adoring and loving dogs and cats and I just know i’ll adore and love yours as if they were my own :) I work from home and have a very flexible schedule throughout the day. I walk my dog multiple times a day currently and spend a lot of my time enriching my pets and spending time with them. I would love to add caring for your pets to my schedule as well! If caring for a pet in the owners home, i’d definitely abide by any rules, boundaries, or expectations set by the owner. I’d cater to the dogs and/or cats current routine and make sure they remain comfortable in their home while their owners are away.

About: I have much experience with animals. I have had a couple pets growing up including dogs, cats, and even a guinea pig! I love all animals! I am currently a full time college student and work full time as well! I am looking for part time work after 3pm Monday-Friday and open availability on Saturday and Sunday! When I had my dog a little over 5 years ago- I had a great set up for him. I had a kennel, leash for walks, and endless amounts of toys and treats! I loved bringing my dog on car rides which included getting a pup cup or some ice cream. I also enjoyed bringing my dog on walk and hikes!

About: I have had a dog in my home, it's like having a nother child,you will love it and feed it and keep it warm and dry I work 5 to 2 mon thru Fri going to retire soon and will have lots of free time and something to do to keep busy I am very trustworthy, and love all animals. I love walking and or playing fetch, teaching them tricks, or giving baths if needed, don't need stinky dogs

“Chelsea was amazing! Stevie really loved her and she took really good care of her. Will definitely be rebooking with her next time I go out of town.”

About: I see myself as a dog lover, every-time I get in contact with a dog, i get a feeling of nostalgia. Ever since i was young I would always help people walk their dogs, or just take care of them.. I think I have the qualifying skills to be a great Dog Sitter/Walker!!! I am working part time, and my schedule is flexible.. It will fit it nice, nothing is really holding me back from jobs.. I am ready for work!!! I care for my pets, by feeding, potty control, playing and exercising, walking, teaching basic things. I am very good at keeping a dog occupied.
