About: I started pet sitting when my mom’s client's had asked me to watch their pet during the summer. I am always there to be a helping hand when they need it. I have taken care of multiple dogs when their owner is on a work trip or on vacation. I have walked, fed, and played with big and small dogs. I have three years of experience and want to continue this career as a college student. I have taken care of puppies and seniors. I am an online college student that is experienced with dog sitting/walking. I can do morning and middays during the week. I can also do weekends. I will provide food and especially water at all times. I will make sure nothing toxic or tiny for them to eat is near. I will be near the dog at all times. I will walk and play with them frequently.
About: Growing up, I had a Lab and then a Boxer and two cats. I've also helped my aunt at the doggie daycare she runs out of her home where she often has more than 10 dogs at a time. Everything from a Great Pyrenees to German Shepherds to Doodles to Yorkies. And it's always so much fun! The care I'll give your pets will really depend on them and their needs. There's a very large unfenced grass area behind my apartment building that would be perfect for walks or play. And there are multiple parks in the area too we could explore. At yours, I'd keep whatever their normal routine is. Whether that's taking walks, throwing the ball or just sitting and chilling and scratching butts. Their butts of course!

“Elaina is one of the best dog walkers I’ve ever had and I have had over a dozen. Very punctual, you can set your watch by her arrival coming and going. Takes her services seriously and seems to be fond of my dog. I wish I had found her earlier.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since we had a dog in elementary school. We adopted her from Arkansas and I love raising her for 17 years and taking her on walks to the dog park. My friends and family who had dogs always asked me to watch their animals when they were away or needed me to take their dog out for a walk. I am currently a stay at home mom with a lovely 3 month old baby girl. I can help your dog at any time during the day that works for you. I have a dog park at my community at Brookfield Village Apartments. We also have a walking path called Still River Greenway where people walk their dogs.

“Aiyana has been wonderful with our puppy. She’s professional, reliable and patient with a pup who has a lot of energy. We feel so fortunate to have found her and recommend her without reservation.”
About: I've had cats my entire life, I pet sit for 2 dogs during the summer before I could get a job and would love for it to become a regular part of my life again. I enjoy spending time with animals sometimes more than people. I'm a college student and a caregiver currently so feel free to reach out with questions about availability. I have a constantly changing schedule and I may be available more than what's marked here. I take care of my own 2 cats daily, and I'd love to take care of more pets in between my work hours or on my days off. I've been in an environment with animals as long as I can remember feeding them, scooping litter boxes, and my favorites giving love, and playing.
About: I have always had a deep love and respect for animals, particularly our furry companions. Growing up, I cared for a variety of pets, which helped shape my lifelong passion for animal care. Currently, I work as a Kennel Technician at a pet daycare, where I care for both dogs and cats on a daily basis. I am also certified in pet first aid and CPR, ensuring I am prepared to respond to emergency situations with confidence and care. I am currently employed at a doggie daycare, with a rotating weekly schedule. My shifts typically fall between either 7:00 AM–3:30 PM or 12:00 PM–7:30 PM. Please feel free to reach out in advance, and I’ll be happy to provide my availability! I share my home with one dog and three cats, and since I live in an apartment without a fenced yard, I take my dog on multiple leashed walks each day. If your dog were to stay with us, they would enjoy regular walks in our grassy areas, as well as access to nearby walking trails just a short distance away. When caring for pets in their own home, I strongly believe in the importance of routines and consistency. I always follow specific instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
