About: A lifelong animal lover with experience from puppies to parrots, I provide devoted, joyful care. Treating every pet like family and spoiling them with love and attention. I am a mother with grown children; therefore I am flexible with my schedule. I can even do last minute check ins in the event you cannot be home on time to potty your pup. As a life long pet owner of various breeds, species and personalities, I can guarantee safe and trustworthy care to your pet tailored to your needs .

“Emily is great. I can tell she really cares for animals and my dog (and fish) would agree. She’s punctual and shared plenty of picture updates while we were away. I definitely recommend Emily for your pet sitting needs! 😃”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 5 years and truly love being around animals. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I’m responsible, attentive, and make sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, or just someone to keep them company, I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their safety and happiness. 🐶 💕 I’m currently in flight training, but other than flying for a few hours a week at the airport, I am available to care for your pets! With a lot of availability every day of the week, I have the flexibility to provide your pets with time and extra special care and attention! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. When taking care of a client’s pets, I always follow the owner’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime—routine and genuine care are key! I’m attentive and patient to ensure each pet feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to stay with your pet as long as you’d like during visits so they get plenty of attention and TLC! 🤗 I also love sharing regular photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel happy and comfortable while you’re away :)

About: Hi there! My name is Stephanie and have ample experience and tons of love for dogs! We have rescued a few pups with varying personalities and support requirements from partial paralysis, fear-aggression and anxiety. I have experience in dog walking, boarding and administration of medications (our own pup takes meds daily). I do have a 2 year old toddler at home along with an 11-year-old dachshund mix so any boarding requests should take that into consideration and will be vetted accordingly! I do work from home so your love bug would get lots of attention !

About: I have lived with and trained multiple dogs and cats for my entire life! I am a massive animal lover and I have cared for disabled, senior, and young dogs! I am flexible with my hours. Some days I can spend the entire day in the house, others I can be there every 2-4 hours, and others I can do 4-8 hours. I work full days in Crystal Lake, but I can make my own hours to suit your needs. I am a very hands-on person. I cater to each dog's needs! Some dogs need lots of physical exercise as well as mental stimulation. I have experience with utilizing training techniques, puzzle toys, and stimulating activities for working breeds or high-energy dogs. I have patience for the senior dogs and have no issue with supporting their body weight and monitoring health.

“Miranda was fantastic. She stopped to meet Zelda before the scheduled walks. She kept me updated and everything went perfectly. Zelda feels comfortable with her already and they get along great. Highly recommended!”

About: I have had pets my entire life and have taken care of everything from newborn puppies to senior dogs, who need extra love, patience, and care. This includes dogs who were both blind and deaf. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from chihuahuas to Chows. In my most recent years, I have acquired multiple cats and have gained a clear understanding of these wonderful, funny animals. Pet care will be done around my full time job. I have a set schedule of 8-4:30 Monday through Friday or Tuesday through Saturday. I will be able to provide care before and after work, as well as on weekend days I do not work. I currently am only available for work in an owner's home. I will walk, feed, play with and clean up after pets as close to their usual schedules as possible. Pets will have to be able to be left alone during my regular working hours but care will be provided before and after those hours. I am willing to administer non-injectable medication.

About: I am a pediatric nurse. I have close to 10 years of dog and cat experience through family pets and recently a diabetic dog named Dexter (has since passed away) I have experience providing oral and injectable medications for dogs. I work three 12-hour shifts per week but each week varies. However, I have flexibility in choosing what days I want to work. I'm typically up at 5am for work so if you need to drop your pet off early or need early check ins I'm available! I live in a single family home with wife. We have safety gates and crates in our home for when we have to step out of the house. I will separate our dog from other dogs if necessary. Food is always kept in a safe spot that no dog can get into. Our subdivision is surrounded by open fields so there are plenty of areas to walk. The backyard is large and fenced in. Fence does not have slats so next door dogs do not have a way in unless we want them for playtime. I walk our dog multiple times a day for potty breaks/exercise. I always walk our dog with a leash and will do so with other dogs. I love to snuggle and play with dogs and will do so with yours! I am happy to meet in advance to discuss any needs required and to make sure I am the best fit for your dog! As a dog parent I understand that dogs are a member of the family that require special care. I want to provide the best, stress-free care for your pup. I can check in as often as you request and will provide pictures and updates throughout the service.

“Chris came to our rescue with little notice, as we had a family event enter our lives, and I can’t thank Chris enough. Our introductory meeting with Tricksy, our Shar Pei, went very smoothly as Chris was confident and open around her. She also listened carefully to Tricksy’s personal habits and idiosyncrasies. Wee felt positive about having the drop-on visits and Chris kept us well informed with messages and photos. Can’t thank her enough for helping us through this time of grieving for my family.”

“Autumn was wonderful and all four of our pups, even our shy one warmed up and felt comfortable around her immediately. Autumn was in regular communication and sent some great photos and feedback on all of our girls after her visit. We’ve never had anyone except family members care for our girls and felt at ease after meeting Autumn and thought she did a wonderful job. We plan to book boarding with her and some additional drop in visits as well. Very happy and would recommend.”

I have experience caring for pets of all ages and all medical needs and special training in cat behavior as well as some training in dog behavior as I worked at a shelter This app is my part time job. I love to fill my time by caring for other peoples pets and spreading the love of animals I let your pet have free range of the home with measures taken in place to ensure their safety while in the house. Easy access to the garden is provided and close proximity to a park is also included

About: I am really patient with animals and all animals seem to love me even though if I just met them! I am workable too! I can handle big dogs too! I would pretty much open for the rest of January!! But soon I’ll be back in college full time and work full time but I would still be open to doing some pet sitting or dog walking! I have two cats and we feed them, play with them, bath them, we also cut there nails! I also had a black lab around 110 pounds I would take him on walks, feed him, and I was in the process of helping him overcome some of the shelter life he picked up!

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and view the human/animal relationship as a special and unique bond that isn’t even broken with death. Aside from having empathy for animals, I have experience training puppies and kittens. I also have taken care of senior dogs and dogs with medical needs. I work in McHenry county M-F and care for animals on the weekends and after work between 4-10pm. There are a lot of nearby parks and areas safe for dog walking by my house. I do not leave dogs alone in a crate when I am not home. Dogs are allowed to sleep on the bed or couch. The max amount of time I would ever leave the dog alone is 4-5 hours. I also do middle of the night potty breaks.

About: I have been a pet owner since I brought my first dog home at 12yo and told my parents "they said we could keep her overnight to see if we liked her. We currently have three dogs, and my roommate has two. I truly believe that people don't deserve dogs, they are the best! I decided to take a break from working full time, and this is my only job right now. Coming from working 12 hours a days, I understand the guilt that goes along with that for pet parents. I'm happy to step in where you can't! I'm used to working with an array of dogs, big and small along with those that have special needs, like my own. I will take whatever precautions necessary, and follow all owner guidelines.

About: I love animals and taking care of them. I had a dog for 15 years before having to put him down. I love being active with dogs and playing with them and walking them. I will give them all the attention they deserve. Walk them as much as they need and love them like they are my own. Dogs are intelligent animals that deserve to be treated with respect. I have experience in dog sitting and walking dogs.I will follow your rules for your dog. I look forward to meeting and speaking with you about the care of your dog(s). Have a great day! I am currently working full time until 7/3. I will then be switching careers and have more availability. I will begin full time employment in September again! I will care for the dog as if they are my own dog. I will follow the instructions provided. I will go at the dogs pace to build a bond with them!

About: I’m available for just about everything. I have multiple dogs so there is plenty of play time. I have had experience with dog training and internship under multiple trainers and different styles. I have worked as a vet tech for 4 years. I have crates for everyone and plenty of toys. Everyone has their own cubby where their stuff will be so we don’t lose anything. I’ve taken care of dogs with seizures diabetes and aggression there is no challenge I can’t handle. Each dog has their own tailored plan and pet parents will get a “report card” with a photo of their pups everyday, except during holidays it will be every other day. If you have any questions feel free to contact me :) I am a stay at home fur mom who enjoys helping others out with there own pups needs while they are away! We generally get up at 7am breakfast around 8am. Rest from 8-8:30 to prevent throw up! Then from 8:30am-6pm we are having fun which could be playing outside hanging in the house learning a new trick or going on a walk! 6:30pm is dinner time. Then rest again til 7pm then are doing the same thing as earlier til about 10pm when it’s bedtime! Pups are never outside alone I am always outside with them and will tailor the play groups to them weather that is no one or everyone I make the pups experience here is a happy one. I require all dogs in my care to have a collar with a tag of the owners info. When pups aren’t supervised they will be resting in there crate for safety. If we are on walks we are on a double leash system as one could always break!
