Pet Sitting in Matteson

About: I am an outgoing, active, and loving person who prides herself in going above and beyond for animals and people. I aim to please and make the time away from your animals as easy as possible with no worries on the attention and care they get from me. I am currently a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule and can fit anything into my schedule. I would like to keep my clients close to home for emergency purposes and also to keep costs down for everyone. I have a clean background and run a small zoo in my home. 5 dogs, 1 cats, 3 pythons, 1 turtle, 1 leopard gecko, 3 fish tanks. I have a broad experience taking care of animals of all kinds. Including farm animals. I thrive on routine and promise to keep your animals on theirs. Trust and the care of your pets is number one.

“Ashley was prompt, sent thorough updates and pictures, and did everything we asked. I have no doubt my kitties were well taken care of while we were away!”

“Aleisha cared for my two cats with daily drop in visits while I was on a two week vacation. The cats loved her and I am so pleased. Excellent communication and friendly, responsible, caring. Will book again in the future !!!”

“Catherine was absolutely amazing with my boy. She followed all care instructions and was very patient with my young rambunctious pup. She even went the extra mile in playing with him to get some of that puppy energy out. She took note of the puppy mess in his bed and offered to throw the bed in the wash and replace it with something else before putting him back in the crate. This was my first time using Rover and thanks to my experience with Catherine, I would certainly use it again!”

About: I have experience with dogs of all age ranges, sizes, and needs. I am also a dog mom of two rescues (blue heeler mix and beagle mix). Within the last few years I have also fostered and dog sat for a number of friends and family members. I am currently a senior at Western Michigan University and have all virtual classes, which makes my schedule a little more flexible. I am just looking for a way to work while doing something I enjoy! All dogs are leashed while on walks and I have plenty of doggy bags! I allow pets on furniture unless the owner requests otherwise and am also willing to bathe or brush clients if requested.

About: I have had experience with both small and large animals for over 20 years. I grew up on a farm and recently relocated south of Kalamazoo and I appreciate all the time I can get to spend with animals. If you have any questions or would like to reach out please feel free to contact me directly. My work is pretty flexible and I am always home. Remote work from home animal lover with a fenced in yard on the water with flexible availability and many years of experience working with various animals I have a fully fenced in yard and enough space for animals to run freely and access to indoor and outdoor with doggy door access

“Leah did a wonderful job making sure Munchie and Oreo were fed and watered daily per our request. Munchie enjoyed having some extra pets while we were on vacation. Over all we are very pleased with the service Leah provided. We will use again for our next extended vacation”

“I could not recommend daizee enough! I’ve never left my dogs home for any reason and have missed out on a lot because of it. She came highly recommended from a good friend so I figured I’d give it a shot. To say I was nervousness was an understatement but her first day she sent me a Rover card at every visit! Coming home after 5 days, I have no apprehension about having her look after my pups again and I certainly will, if they haven’t scared her off! ?Thank you daizee!”

“I can confidently say Chantel provided exceptional care for all the animals on the farm I worked on with her. She excelled not only with larger farm animals but also worked wonderfully with dogs and cats, showing the same level of care. Whether feeding, playing with, or ensuring the animals' overall health, Chantel consistently demonstrated professionalism and a genuine love for the animals. She is reliable, hardworking, and a true asset to any animal care role. I highly recommend her.”

“Mackenzie has watched both my cat and dog several different times when I was out of town. She was tentative and responsible each time with the animals. I would highly recommend her and trust her to watch other animals.”

About: From a young age, I've always been happier with a dog around. I've had years of experience owning and caring for dogs. Our family is currently run by 3 giant German Shepherds, and we wouldn't have it any other way ☺️ Over the last 3 years we have had the incredible experience of bringing two of Nala and Koda's litters into the world... hence our newest addition Lucy! That being said I have plenty of experience with puppy care and cleaning. While I do work a full time job, I always have weekends and weekly afternoons available for dog walks and pet care. *available for sitting/dog walking Pet care in my own home would unfortunately not be available. I am open to pet care in a client's home as needed. I am a reliable dog mom of three and boy mom so I believe I would be able to handle any requests or environment.

“Danny watched Bliss and Bella while we went away for a father's day week trip. We had him come over, meet the dogs and they loved him right away. He is such a natural with dogs and I felt comfortable with him right away. Our dogs are fed a raw food diet and have treat allergies, but none of this scared him away! (Which we were very thankful for) He was on time, let the dogs out multiple times a day, kept up on their normal schedule, played outside with them and even gave them puppy massages! Our dogs were well taken care of and I would recommend anyone to have their dogs watched by Danny! He was amazing and made leaving for vacation so much easier!!”

“Judith did a fantastic job taking care of my cats. She really loves animals and it shows. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her again to watch my cats.”

About: Every dog is different, and must be evaluated to establish the proper care for them. The basic rules of engagement is trust, loyalty, respect, love and of course treats. I demonstrate a leader of a pack with confidence in meeting new dogs, engaging to meet every dog's needs. I have trained my own dogs along with friends dogs. The success is based on how well you evaluate them. I really love the compassion and unconditional love they have for their human's. I have cared for and raised puppies into beautiful old puppies and when my golden slowed down and was barely able to walk, I had to make the hardest decision of my life. The reason I am interested in dog care, is because while I was at work, she was home alone waiting for me to get home and it would have been great to have someone come pay attention to her. I want to be there for pets, for the people that can't be, and brighten their pets day while they make money to care for them. I also understand what its like to try to plan a vacation with pets, the pet deserves their own little vacation while the family takes a break. My outlook is you can't have too many best friends and wish to make a few more on my journey.

“Jacklyn takes care of our dogs on a regular basis and when we are out of town! They love her and so do we and we truly trust her with our fur babies! Would recommend her for any of your pets needs!!”

“When I went out of town I had Maddie come over to my house to help with feeding and walking my dog. She took great care of him while I was away. I even have her walk my dog and feed him when im late at work. She is a very caring and trustworthy person. I always come home to a happy healthy pet.”

“I’ve watched Jasmine care for animals their entire life, and it’s clear they have a natural gift. From raising puppies to looking after senior pets, they treat every animal with love and attention. Jasmine is responsible, patient, and truly passionate about animals. I have no doubt that your pet will be in great hands. I highly recommend them as a sitter!”

“Kaitlyn is the best dog mom there is. Dogs are her life. She treats animals better than most people treat their children. There isn’t a better person to have take care of your animals”

“Barbara was FANTASTIC!! I strongly recommend her. My fiance and I went to Florida for our spring break and I was scrambling to find someone to watch my dog and chickens. When I reached out to Barbara, she was quick to respond and set up a meet and greet right away. She took care of Lester AND my chickens (she let the chickens out in the morning and closed the coop at night). She came to my house twice a day. Her price per visit is very reasonable and she does more than what's expected. Most importantly, she takes a ton of pictures!! Seeing pictures morning and afternoon of my dog and chickens eased my mind and made me happy. She's GREAT with animals and is very experienced. She knows what she's doing and has a kind/loving personality. Next time I go out of the state, I will definitely use her as my sitter. Hands-down. Thanks Barbara!! Hope you'll continue doing this.”

“Denise has a heart for all kinds of animals and experience working closely with them. She has cared for my pets when I’ve been out of town and I’ve always been happy with her service. Pet owners can be very particular about how their pets are cared for. Your pets will be given the attention they need.”
