Dog Sitting Morton

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleanup, and administering basic medications when needed. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs and personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being. I work full time for USPS as a mail carrier. I have two days off each week. I’m always off Sundays. Once I’m off work usually around 5/6pm I’m free! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment in my home, free of hazards and closely supervised at all times. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special requirements. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine to help them feel secure and stress-free. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure and I provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and genuine care, and I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet—and your home—in someone else’s hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and dependable experience for both you and your pet.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover since I was little. Throughout college I have done all sorts of pet/house sitting for friends, family, coworkers etc. I have house sat for a family friend that required feeding and watering horses, milking goats, reptile care, rabbit cleaning care, medicating cats/dogs if needed, you name it. I currently have a Corn Snake, a Western Plains Hognose Snake as well as a Crested Gecko. I have been a Veterinary Receptionist for over 5 and a half years now. I was also an Animal Keeper for about a year with native Illinois Wildlife (including black bears, cougars & bobcats). I am currently transitioning to being a Veterinary Assistant so I am gaining new skills weekly! Currently working a max of 30 hours at my day job as a Veterinary Assistant but recently have been working less. Typically I have Sundays and Wednesdays off during the week but sometimes get another random week day off depending on how busy we are at the clinic. My shifts can vary from 8am to 2pm; 8am to 4pm; 9am to 3pm; 9am to 5pm or even 8am to 6:30pm. The earlier I’m off during the day I am able to help after that too. Your home is their home. I will cater to your pet based on what they like or need. If they just need someone to keep them company I’m there. I will treat your space with respect and follow any instructions given. My pets are family and are treated as such so the same would go for your kiddos.

About: Need a break from your puppy? Let me take your baby off your hands for some much needed you time! I offer very low rates and I will never charge extra to watch a puppy as I have one of my own and I know how tough it can be to keep your doggo entertained! Worried your pup will be lonely? Don't be! Your dog will never be lonely as I'm home full time with my 6 month old puppy, Archie, who loves to play! Archie is fully vaccinated and wears his rabies tag everywhere we go. Archie is very friendly with other dogs and would love a friend to run with and play tug-of-war but my apartment is large enough to house other pets separate from my puppy if that is your preference. Does your dog need special treatment or medicine administered? I've got you covered! I'm a third year student doctor currently on virtual rotations (studying/working from home) due to coronavirus and I'd love to treat your dog (or other pet) to some treats! I may be in school to treat humans, but I'm comfortable administering medications and I have experience doing so for everything from ferrets to dogs to pigs. I have owned guinea pigs, ferrets, cats, and dogs so I am comfortable caring for a wide range of pets. Does your pet require a lot of exercise? You're in luck. Mine does too! I take my puppy to the community dog park everyday for at least an hour. In addition my apartment is right across from Lake Michigan and a walking trail that my dog and I frequent in the evenings. If your dog needs more exercise I have a dog park inside my apartment complex where I can take your pup to stretch his legs and play as often as you'd like. I have personal and professional dog sitting experience, medical training, tons of space, and will update you as often as you like with pictures and videos of your pup having a blast with Archie and I. Book with me today and rest easy knowing your pet is in good hands!

“Jayne has been wonderful to have taking care of Belle. She is very sweet, reliable, and flexible with my frequent need for schedule changes. I’m very appreciative to have her in my home!”

About: My family includes 2 sweet dogs and 2 beautiful cats. I have experience with fostering and training dogs. I am an active person who would love to walk your dog, with mine or without, but I'm also no stranger to just enjoying time with animals! I have a fenced-in back yard and a walkable neighborhood. I am available to walk, play, feed, or administer medicine to your animals. I have experience giving insulin to a family dog twice daily for several years. I take my time to ensure all animals feel safe with me before asking them to walk with me. I work in an office every weekday from 8-5, but am available most evenings and weekends to cater to your family's specific pet care needs. I have a large, fenced-in back yard and walkable neighborhood. I have two dogs at home, one of whom is a 1 year old cockapoo who loves to play.

About: I just love animals and want to help take care of them. This is my second job and my availability is variable. My schedule is iffy so I may be able to watch your pets. I’m a young adult looking to get some extra money. I have dog sat before for neighbors and friends but I haven’t done a lot of the overnight stuff. Mostly I just have let dogs out and walk them and if you have special needs I can usually do those. I am very energetic, caring, and love dogs, but I don’t have one due to my parents. I am hoping to eventually own a dog. I can’t wait to work for you and help take care of your best friends! I’m currently working full time and available to let dogs out before and after work and on my lunch break. I also typically have Sunday and Monday off until my schedule changes in August. I am typically used to drop in and walking dogs but I’ve also dog sat once or twice overnight. Usually I’m just dog sitting for friends and family but looking to branch out!

“Awesome as always! I love that I can trust the doggos with Oliver! They love him.”

“This is the second time Carly has watched our cats and definitely will not be the last! She is reliable, friendly, and both of “the monsters” are at ease with her - even the shy boy. It’s always great to have a cat lover/owner like Carly taking care of cats because she isn’t surprised by any of their antics! :)”

“I had a wonderful experience with Ariel while she watched Gracie and Lucy for the weekend. She took excellent care of both my girls, kept me updated with messages and photos, and made sure they were happy, comfortable and well cared for. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my pups were in such good hands. I came home to two happy, relaxed dogs. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Ariel to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and trustworthy dog sitter.”

“Theodore is the best pet sitter. We have cats with some ridiculous idiosyncrasies and he just goes with the flow. The cats are always well taken care of, energetic, and happy when we return home. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals from the age of 11 and up. I have about 10 years of experience pet sitting, walking and training, with all different sizes of dogs, cats and even some horses! I volunteered at taps for about a year and a half. I’ve always been a big animal lover for as long as I can remember, I treat every animal as if they were my own baby’s! I currently work a part-time job so I have plenty of time throughout the day to take care of your baby’s the only times I’m not available is past 6pm on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. I am very clean and respectful in other peoples homes most the people I’ve pet sat or dog walked for say they wouldn’t have even noticed I was there if there wasn’t things in the trash

“I am ecstatic with Mandy's help with my dog, Jesus. He is naturally timid and he has warmed up to her in less than a week, even after a cross country move. When I come home from work, I can tell that a responsible, caring person has paid him a visit because he is relaxed and happy. Mandy is very quick to respond and communicates very well. I would highly recommend Mandy and greatly appreciate her support!”

Scott N.

“I couldn't be happier with Serenity's care for my dog! She was attentive, reliable, and treated my pup like her own. It was clear she has a natural love for animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in her care. Serenity sent regular updates, which made the experience even better. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”

About: I have experience administering all kinds of medication to all ages of dogs. I love meeting your older dogs and have experience helping them navigate stairs and the home if necessary. I am patient and if your dog needs extra accommodation I am happy to provide assistance. I am currently a college student on break for the summer so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am available for early mornings, late nights, and everything in between. I understand it can be nerve racking trusting someone with your pet, but I am extremely communicative and will keep you updated as frequently as you wish. I have pet sat for multiple families who have always returned to tidy homes and happy pets. As someone who has had the privilege of loving many animals, big and small (snakes, lizards, geckos, cat, hamsters), I understand the importance of your pet.

About: Little background about me, I started off as a dog groomer and did that for roughly 2 years, throughout the past 6 years I started my career in vet med and have worked my way up to veterinary technician from a kennel attendant. I personally broaded, dog sat at homes for multiple different periods of times, and cared for friends, families, and clients dogs on the side as well. I genuinely love and adore animals! I have recently rescued a dog of my own and he’s the best boy! I currently work 5 days a week from 7:30am to 5pm with a hour long lunch. I live close to my place of work and am will to make morning, afternoon, and evening stops. I’m very flexible, reliable, and knowledgeable for all types of care that may be needed. I ensure I will always give the best care to your animal.

“Glenn took excellent care of my Dallas, who is a bit difficult, but he kept me updated and seemed to be happy to deal with her cranky personality. I will definitely book again.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant at my family’s veterinary clinic for the past 9 years, where I’ve helped care for dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities, ages, and medical needs. Through my work at the clinic, I’ve become comfortable and skilled at administering medications and assisting with medical care, so I can confidently care for pets who may need a little extra attention. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, and the overall well being of your furry best friend. Outside of the clinic, I’ve raised multiple litters of rescue kittens, care for our clinic cats on weekends, and currently have three rescue cats and a dog of my own. Caring for animals isn’t just a job to me, it’s something I genuinely love! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and affection that I give my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away 💕 My schedule is flexible and varies throughout the month. I serve in the Navy Reserve and occasionally work at my family’s veterinary clinic when they need extra help, but outside of those commitments I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I keep my availability updated and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. When caring for your pet, they will have my full attention, and you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages! Working in a veterinary clinic has taught me how important it is to pay attention to the little things. I closely follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests, and I’m always keeping an eye on your pet’s comfort and well being. I will make your pet feel safe, loved, and as relaxed as possible when you’re away, while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands!

About: I love animals and I love exercise, so here I am combining the two. I’m excited to try something new and also help out within my community by providing a healthy and heartwarming service I work Mon through Fri 7A-330P in construction. Some weeks I will have OT and will have to reschedule/ adjust my schedule here but other than that I’m pretty flexible. I prefer waking up early to being out late- but can and will accommodate. My pets are spoiled rotten. Constant truck rides and walks, and you can always find a ball or toy that belongs to the girls(dogs). And endless twig sticks and cardboard boxes inside with some windows equipped with bird feeders for the boys(cats). The girls have all day everyday access to fenced backyard and climate controlled garage included with the best neighbors and then to the comfy couch at night. The boys indulge in a cool environment while not moving much from one spot of the couch. Extras include opened curtain scenic views along with nature noises from the tv.
