About: I have been an independent pet sitter for 17 plus years. I have plenty of experience with cats, dogs and other small critters. I have been very passionate in my love of animals for many years and all of my pets mean the world to me. I have spent time volunteering in shelters for pet care as we as medical care and have spent time working as a vet assistant as well. While working in the vet office I learned how to medicate cats as well as how to give subcutaneous fluids. I have worked in various animal related fields for over a decade including vet offices, shelters, grooming facilities, pet stores and pet sitting. All animals are fascinating to me and I enjoy learning about the different types of care they all need. I live in Galena IL and am willing to cover all surrounding areas 😸 Pet sitting is my main job and my schedule is currently open. I'm looking to build my local client base and earn your trust :) I will care for pets in the clients own home. I will follow the care instructions provided for each pet. During overnight visits I will treat your home with the utmost respect.
About: I have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I love to play with them, to keep active. I have experience with dog sitting for some family friends and coworkers in the past. I have experience with giving medication (oral or injection). My schedule is soon going to free up even more, however I'm fairly flexible now too. Currently I am quite flexible. I need an advanced notice for potential bookings due to my busy, ever-changing schedule. I'm looking forward to meeting some new pets. I prefer to care for pets are their own homes to keep them happy and comfortable. I have a full household as it is, with 3 dogs and 2 cats. I will be able to let them out multiple times, possibly take them for walks depending on amount of dogs and sizes, play with them and love them.
“Mackena took amazing care of our dog while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond the usual feeding and potty time. She played ball with Lola and gave her lots of snuggles and pets. It snowed while we were gone and she even shoveled for us! We got updates and pictures everyday. She is very caring and I highly recommend her. She will be the person I call anytime I need pet care!”
“Brianne did a wonderful job dropping in on our three Labradors while we were out of town for the weekend. She’s a great communicator and we sincerely appreciate the care she provided our fur-family!”

About: I owned a dog for a couple years who had a disease that required special care when eating and drinking water, he had a lot of medical needs. I became profiecent in his needs and provided great care before he passed. With that said, I have experience with taking care of dogs with special needs. I also have experience raising a puppy from very young, so I understand reactiveity in dogs and have learned different ways to calm them down or pay special attention to them during moments of high reactivity ( like during walks) I am currently work remotely from home and have a pretty flexible schedule during my day that allows me to do side quests such as rover I have a fenced in yard and 1 dog who loves playing with other dogs! so your fur baby would have a best friend to play with during the day. I can also easily crate my or your dog
“Josh was great! We needed someone to take our Rottweiler, Minnie, out in the mornings and evenings while we were traveling - just too much “dog” for my older parents to take care of. Josh was extremely caring to Minnie and made sure to send pictures & status updates after every visit. He fed her treats took her out for walks, and made sure she got some attention. It’s hard to find someone you can trust that can handle such a big dog. We were so glad that it worked out - we will book him again!”

About: I’ve had a dogs in my life, since I was a child, and was introduced to cats as I ventured into the collegiate life. As an adult I have cared for dogs primarily, but recently had the opportunity to take care of the sweetest cats! I am fairly patient with pets and like to give them as much space as they like to try to not mess up the routines, but if they are balls of energy and cuddle bugs, I am more than happy to comply! I believe that walks and healthy roaming space is good for a dog’s, development and energy, and respecting a cat to make the first move to ensure respect and comfort to their environment. Hi! I’m a full-time high school interpreter and a lifelong animal lover. During the school year, I spend my days helping students thrive in the classroom — and now that summer’s here, I’m excited to dedicate my time to caring for your pets! I like doing research on the neighborhoods that I’m going into if it’s a new area, and like to understand what you have available, either a dog park, or a fenced backyard, to really understand how to best care for your dog. My dog is a big ball of energy so I have learned a lot of skills to be able to make sure that they stay in their assigned spaces, I do like to keep them with me on my lap as I work, or nearby letting them enjoy a nap.

I am close with a professional dog trainer and am able to ask any question, which is always a big help. My vet has great hours and very accessible as well for any questions or concerns.
