About: Hi, I’m Sabrina! I have over 7 years of experience with animals, including time in vet clinics, zoos, and dog daycares. I also did vet assisting for 7 years. I now focus on training, pet sitting, and spending time with animals full-time. I train my Cane Corso in various dog sports using a fair and positive balanced training approach that builds trust, structure, and confidence. I also have chickens, a cat, and a snake — so I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets! Your animals will be safe, loved, and well-cared for with me. I treat every pet like my own and believe play and connection are just as important as routine care. Let me know how I can help! I care for my animals daily—feeding my chickens, handling my snake, and cuddling my cat. I train and do dog sports with my two dogs every day, keeping them active and happy outdoors. I bring the same love, routine, and attention to every pet I care for. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. I have a laid-back Cane Corso and a young, energetic hunting prospect GSP, so I’m experienced balancing calm time with fun, engaging activities like scent work. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, providing gentle attention, plenty of exercise, and a secure environment where they feel safe and loved.

“Heather is amazing! Right away my mind was at ease with having her stay with our pup. Our dog was relaxed and happy upon us returning and I know she was well taken care of and enjoyed her time with Heather. Will 100% be booking in the future 😊”


About: I volunteered at animal shelters over 10 yrs. I have a degree in animal science. I have 1 dog and 1 cat 2 caged rabbits in a separate room and love animals! I can also give baths for animals as part of my service! I'm super friendly and work from home so I have plenty of flexibility to work with. I look forward to meeting plenty of breeds and learning more about animals as I go! My dog is very chill and nice and my cat is super friendly and ubothered by anything so depiste all of the animals my 2 bedroom apartment is mainly a quiet one. I would love to get more but I will start by taking care of yours! Thanks! I make my own work schedule so I can work around yours! I love going to dog parks and walking along with having a friend for my dog to play with! I watch all pets very closely when first entering my home to see if I need to separate my pats from yours! I also have plenty of toys and treats and I dog proof my home

About: Although I am a cat mom of two, I also have deep care and compassion for dogs of all kinds! Since I was 16 years old, I have volunteered on and off at my local humane society, giving care to all animals. Care including: ensuring all dishes and laundry are fresh and clean, cleaning cages, feeding, as well as giving love & attention to each cat and dog! I also have had the honor of caring after my neighbors dog for about a year. This care included: taking him on walks and playing with him every 2-3 hours, feeding him, as well as giving plenty of love and pets! I’m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of quality time to spend with your furry friend! During the week/weekends, I do not have a set work schedule, however I am flexible to work around my start and end times! If needed, I am able to easily crate your dog, I am able to take any precautions of care, as well as take upon requests that your fur baby may need during his/her time with me.

“Alexis was awesome!!! We booked last minute and she was here on time and stayed all day (and a little extra, as we got stuck in Chicago traffic). We received plenty of updates and I could tell our dogs were happy when we got home. We will definitely use her again when we need to leave town. Highly recommend.”



“He did an amazing job cat sitting my 6yo and 15yo cats! My 15yo had extra needs which were fully attended to and he kept me updated on how much they ate, if they threw up, etc. I booked an overnight stay and he went out of his way to wash the bedding he used. He cared a lot and was very thoughtful and detail oriented. Would/will book again!”


About: Hi I'm Clarissa! I have a lot of experience with pets, both growing up with dogs and choosing cats as an adult. I have experience with disabled animals, as I often adopt special cats- currently I have a kitten who is blind and previously two cats who could not walk ♥️ My weekly routine can work around yours! I can usually be pretty flexible with your needs, especially now that summer is coming around! Looking forward to seeing how we can work together! I have two cats and treat them like members of my family. They are spoiled with love, treated with compassion, and cared for like they're my own children.

“Samantha was amazing with my babies! She would ensure that they got daily exercise either by taking them out for walks and even going to the dog park. I booked the service where she stayed in my home and the house was super clean when I got back. She fed my dogs on time and kept me up to date on what they were doing and I got plenty of pictures of them! I hope to book her again my dogs loved her!”


About: I treat every dog like family—just like my own, Tiny, who is an extension of me. I truly care about their happiness and make sure every pup enjoys their time with me, feeling loved, comfortable, and excited for every visit! I’m currently a full-time college student at IU Bloomington but I set up my academic schedule to be able to partake in the joy that I will receive from taking care of family pets. I provide the assistance and energy that each pet presents to me in order to be the best caretaker. I provide loving, reliable care for pets in their home—feeding, walking, playing, and ensuring they feel safe and happy! I treat every pet like family, keeping them comfortable while giving owners peace of mind. 🐶💕

About: Depending on the needs of your animals, I can come over how many times you need me to and take care of them! This even includes staying overnight if it is what your animal needs! As of right now I am currently unemployed, taking 1 online college course, allowing me to have flexibility to care for your precious animals all throughout the day! Animals are always most comfortable in their home environments and for this reason, pet care in a place where they are used to is best. I do require meet and greets before I take care of your animal, just so you know they are in safe and trusted hands!

Emma N.
“Emma helped me with my pup while I was recovering from knee surgery. She walked him several times a day for me and played with him. There were times she'd even text me to see if she could come get him to walk or play. She was caring and patient which speaks volumes because sometimes my dog can be a handful. Emma herself is a very sweet and kind natured person and I highly recommend her to care for anyone's pet as I know she will go above and beyond!”

Kamryn G.
“Kamryn was referred to me through a family friend. She is amazing, loving, thoughtful, and trustworthy. Last minute, I needed someone to house sit 4 crazy dogs; two of mine and two of my mom’s! My mom’s puppy is a high energy black lab that needs a lot of attention. My mom’s other dog is super old and struggles sometimes getting in and out of the house. My two adopted dogs have separation anxiety and have accidents. Kamryn definitely had her hands full! There were no accidents, she sent pictures throughout, and even kept the house super clean which is a lot with four doggos! She is such a wonderful person, and I use her regularly now when I have work trips!”
