About: I've been raised with all kinds of dogs since I was young, from Pomeranian to Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I'm familiar with puppy behaviors, as well as care for elderly dogs. My days off are Monday & Tuesdays to give me plenty of time to care and play with your pets in the early mornings to overnights. Otherwise I currently work in the community Thurs-Sun 8am-5pm with Wednesdays being 12-5, though I'm able to step away for any walks, drop-ins, or play times needed! Please reach out with any scheduling requests and I'll do my best to accommodate for you! I prefer crate trained pets, much like my own, but I'm comfortable being around free roam and cuddly buddies! If given enough time in advance, I would love to meet your pet beforehand to ensure a comfortable and informative visit for the both of us.

About: I’ve worked as a veterinary nurse for 10 years and have worked with every size, age and energy level of dog and cat. I’m well versed in walking, bathing, potty training, and mind enrichment exercises, as well as multiple behavioral and medical conditions. I love caring for animals and have 2 cats and a dog, Siberian Husky, who needs a lot of activity and are spoiled daily. I know how to give medication, if needed, and how to deal with emergency situations. I can send pictures and videos daily to keep you updated. Your beloved furry family members will be well taken care of! I am available most days for the summer and can do morning, afternoon, and evening care. You can message me for further questions about scheduling. Let me know your pets daily routine they are used to, so I can stick as closely as possible to it to help them keep as much normalcy to their days as possible.

“Absolutely great!”

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.

About: Ever since I was little, I have loved animals. I grew up with at least one pet in the house since I can remember. Animal care is basically second nature to me now, and I would love to spread that care to other's pets! I currently have a part-time job, so I have plenty of time for your pets! Taking care of pets has always been the norm for me, so adding more pets to my schedule would be so fulfilling! Having my services in your own home is the best way to keep your pets calm, safe and worry-free. Everything your pet needs is right there!

“Milo is the best! There is no one our dogs love more!”

“This is the second time Madison has watched my cats and it surely won't be the last. She's very kind, quick to respond, and it shows that she cares for the animals she watches over. I would recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!”

“My cat Harley was in a great mood and was extremely soft when we got home (which means he was getting his pets). He loves Asia she always does a good job.”

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: I have had animals my entire life. I also have some training in the Veterinary field if there is ever a problem! I have a Shih Tzu named Oscar, and a big fluffy mix named Jaydee Mae. I also have 4 cats, Felix, Joey, Ellie and Ruby! I also have a few years of dog training under my belt, so I can even train your puppies in basic obedience and potty training! I am currently working full time, however if I have a clientele, the goal is to do this work full time, work for myself, and be able to work any day, anywhere! My dogs are let out about 5 times a day on a schedule, or whenever they ask me to go out. My dogs also get fed one cup twice daily. My cats are a bit different. If the food bowl is empty, I will refill it. It's usually just a cup. I also love to take my dogs to the dog park, or I will take them on walks. My Boxer and Shih Tzu own my bed, but Brutus sleeps in his crate most nights. Otherwise, they have total freedom. I will care for your pets in however way you need them taken care of. However, there will be some amount of spoiling! I love to play with other people's dogs and take them on walks. I love bathing, feeding, cuddling, and well, you name it!

About: I love all animals and believe that, just like us humans, dogs thrive when they get lots of love and exercise. I'd really love to help you achieve this for your doggy, who I would treat like my own child. I have have experience with both house and dog sitting, even for long periods of time (I've done up to 2 weeks). Cleanliness and reliability are also huge priorities for me. Hope to hear from you!

About: My pet care experience consists of having a dog throughout my childhood and adult years. I've always loved the companionship of owning a dog and also visiting or babysitting families and friends' dogs/cats. With having a dog comes a lot of responsibility and attention whether that's feeding, letting outside, physical activity, and training. I'm experienced in all of those qualities. The pet care that I will be using through the new dogs and cats I meet are the basics of giving treats, going for walks, and playing fetch or ball. Those basics are important and useful for dog caregivers because any dog would love the attention and care that you are giving them unconditionally. I'm also experienced in grooming with bathing the pet if needed. Whether that's outside with a hose and soap or inside in a bathtub. Dogs are my best friends and should be treated with love and companionship therefore I would treat the dog and make sure they are happy and comfortable but also safe and calm at all times. My schedule is very flexible and in the case of babysitting or walking a dog, I will be attentive and responsible. Since I currently have a dog at home I take her outside frequently, stay outside with her and walk around the backyard or throw a toy and play fetch or even just sit in the grass and give her belly rubs. My daily routine consists of letting my dog outside and hanging out with her off and on while also letting her have time to rest and chill by herself. My weekly routine is the same as my daily routine aside from additional car rides, pup cups, or cousin visits with other dogs. The safety, trust & Environment of the care for the pet in my home and or my client's home will consist of making sure all doors are shut when entering and exiting the home or garage. Also making sure the dog is on a leash and well equipped when walking through a neighborhood. I also have a fenced-in yard so I'm experienced with fences and the proper precautions if needed. I can easily create your dog too if needed. Also water supply and refilling the water bowl as needed and giving supplements or medicine also. Also will have the clients contact information in case of emergency.

About: I groomed dogs for over a year and I currently have three of my own. I have been around pets my whole life and always had animals as a young child. I'm currently working part-time, so should be available when needed! I Cant wait to meet all your animal friends, and be able to get to know them! I have three friendly dogs that would love to play , and also have crates if needed. I also have two children that would love to give them all the attention they would want.

“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!”

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats, all of my life. I was a police officer and Sheriff for 32 years. I’ve dealt with most all animals. I love them all!! I’m currently a retired sheriff. I work part time for American Airlines about 20 hours per week in Bloomington, and working on a license to sell real estate as a part-time job in Livingston County. And I have been a police officer, since I was 18 years old. I am very trustworthy and honest. I’ve grown up around many types of animals and feel comfortable around them.

About: I own several animals which include cats, dogs, and a leopard gecko. I love animals, and I am good with feeding on time, bathroom breaks on time, and I love to spend quality time with animals! I am good with puppy and kitten care as well. I am a house cleaner as well, so it tends to mix in with the pet care. I am consistently taking care of myself, my house, and my animals. I walk my dog every day, I feed all of my animals at the same time every day, I keep regular vet appointments, and all of my animals are up to date on their vaccines and spay/neutering.
