“We needed help with our pup last minute and Misty was quick to respond and willing to work with our schedule. During the meet and greet I could tell she was very comfortable with animals as well as knowledgable. Overall Misty was amazing to work with and I felt at ease knowing our fur baby was in good hands.”

I also know what its like to have to leave your pets at home when you travel, it could be sad or kind of scary at times.

About: I have been dog sitting since I was 11 years old. I have taken care of all kinds of dogs, all ages and sizes. I have always grown up with a dog, so taking care of one is like second nature to me. I have looked after puppies as well as senior dogs. I have potty trained puppies in less than 2 weeks. I have been responsible for walking, feeding, entertaining/playing, and bathing services. I am a University of Illinois Student who is currently working part-time over the summer, therefore I have a flexible schedule! As as student at the University of Illinois, I have taken multiple courses in Animal Science, including Companion Animals in Society, Science of Pets and Their Care, and World Animal Resources. I walk my dog Arlo in the morning before work, and will do the same with pets that are under my care. I live on a lake and I do not have a fenced in yard, but I will walk them often. I will walk your pets around the neighborhood which you live if I am caring for them at your house. My 4 year old Husky/German Shepherd mix loves other dogs and is very friendly. My dog does not require a crate, however if that is something that your dog needs, I can accommodate! If I am watching your pets at my house, I will require proof of vaccinations to keep my dog safe as well!

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.

“Milo is very good with Lexi and Lexi looks forward to her walks. I’m so happy Milo agreed to take on Lexi.”

About: My family has had a rescue dog since she was a puppy and is now a senior dog. I have had my own 2 shelter dogs living with me full time for over 2 years so I have been exposed to dealing with separation anxiety and many different reactions. I know I will be able to exceed your pets needs and provide lots of love and attention! I am currently working full time, in office M-F so my availability is mostly weekends. Our household has 2 young dogs so after work I will take them on a run daily for their high energy. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat on a few acres of land so they are very active outside. I used to live in an apartment and would exercise my 3 year old lab retriever for about 2 hours a day! I love playing fetch and games with our animals and am excited to entertain your pets!

“Madison is fantastic, attentive, and goes the extra mile!! Cleo LOVES walks with Madie and her tail wags as soon as she sees her. She has been so reliable and consistent with her help and we appreciate her SO MUCH!!”

About: Background: I’ve spent over six years working with animals, but my love for them started much earlier.

While I currently live in a pet-free building, that hasn’t stopped me from staying active in the animal care world.

I provide regular photo or video updates upon request, so you’ll always know your furry friend is happy and safe. Feel free to message me with any questions or specific requests. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I currently have open availability, so I’m very adaptable to you and your pet’s schedule. I often visit the gym on my free time to lift. I follow my clients instructions provided, and if there are no instructions, I make sure to ask lots of questions before being left with your pet!

Here's how I go about it: **In My Home:** If I'm caring for pets in my own home, it's essential to ensure they feel comfortable and safe. I have a fenced yard, which is a great space for pets to play and exercise. When it comes to entering and exiting, I'm a chronic double checker - doors and fences will never be left open accidentally. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that your pets won't sneak out or face any unexpected safety hazards. **In the Client's Home:** When providing in-home pet care for clients, my organized and planning-oriented nature comes into play. I stick to a well-organized schedule that includes feeding times, walks, playtime, and any other specific requirements. I'm attentive to detail, making sure doors are securely closed and that the pets are safe at all times. My goal is to provide a seamless and worry-free experience for pet owners, knowing that their beloved animals are in capable hands. Overall, whether in my home or the client's, safety, organization, and a well-thought-out schedule are at the forefront of my pet care approach. Your pets' well-being is my top priority, and I aim to ensure they receive the highest level of care and attention.

About: I've taken care of dogs/cats ever since I could remember. From simple baths to administering medicine/medication, I've done it all. I have also helped train puppies and have experience in taking care of senior dogs/cats. I'm in college, but I'm completely free 5 days out of the week (Though I will mention that I'm unavailable on Tuesday from 9-11:50, and on Thursday from 11-11:50). So your pups/cats will get my undivided attention with all the love and care they need! I have an apartment with no pets, so it'll just be me and your furbabies. My apartment does offer pet friendly areas for dogs to be taken out to or cats that are outdoorsy. I do take pets out for routine walks and potty breaks, but I'll follow whatever routine you have in place already if need be.

About: I've grown up with dogs of my own and helping friends and family with their's while away. I've always loved spending time with them, training, playing, or just laying in the sun. I typically work tuesday-thursday mornings until 3pm. Otherwise my schedule is fairly flexible! I'll happily make time to come hang out with your furry companion! I have a fenced in yard and two dogs that love to make friends! While one would rather mosey around the other loves to play ball or chase! However for the dogs that are more shy and reserved I have plenty of patience and willing to help them come out of their shell!

About: From fish to horses, dogs, cats, and everything in between, I’m an animal lover. In fact, pretty much my whole life is based around animals! I work as an intern veterinary assistant, I used to work at a pet store, I spent my junior year in highschool bathing and doing nail trims on dogs every week, I’m graduating highschool with a Veterinary Medical Applications Certificate, and starting next year I’ll be studying Animal Science at Purdue! I have experience with dogs and cats alike as young as 3 days old and as old as 15. I’ve been petsitting for family since I was about 10 years old, and have been able to spend extra time and care with elderly pets, and lots playtime with wild puppies. In a professional setting at the vet clinic, I have dealt with animals of all sizes and temperaments, and gotten experience with fear free restraint and handling. I personally have one dog, and he is the light of my life, and my family and I also fostered a puppy for 6 months last year before he found his forever home. I’ve grown up around stray cats and have formed bonds with many over the years, despite not being able to have any, I’ve even cared for cats recovering from surgery, so I have experience with more delicate situations. I will be out of school May 11th-August 25th and currently do not have a job so my availability is wide open! It may change if I get a job but I do intend to make space for pet sitting in my schedule, and will hopefully be able to continue some during school as well. My pets are my whole world, and I’ll treat yours just the same! I know everyone has different preferences for their furbabies, and I’ll stick to every detail you ask of me. You need pictures? You’ve got them. You need me to give extra love? Can do. Your pet needs special medications? I have experience with that! Leaving behind our pets is hard, and I’ll do my best to make your time away less stressful.

About: I have grown up around dogs all my life! I even have my own fur baby, Maverick! I have experience with giving oral medication, potty training, and giving your pup the exercise and play time they want and need! I do work part-time so I will have plenty of time for your pups! This allows me to provide frequent and flexible drop-ins for your pet to make sure they feel comfortable and safe! With my clients, I love to stay in consistent communication where I can provide you with updates and pictures of your pet! This will ease your mind knowing your pet is happy, healthy, and in great hands!

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was a child. I come from a family of animal lovers from small to big we love them all. I personally injoy taking care of and playing with animals. I'm currently in between jobs so taking care of animal right now is perfect for me and if I can get paid to do something I love sound amazing. I live in the country so I've trained my dogs to stay in the yard without having a fence I've leashed trained my dog to walk beside me without pulling me and I've probably given him more treats then he needed for being a good boy I always treat every dog like their mine.
