About: I have experience with all ages, senior dogs and cats that have had medical needs and that require diapers 24/7, basic training, drop ins, sits and walking. I am currently available most days as I am taking some time off from work and will be doing Rover to supplement income. If I don’t have plans for a certain day, I can fit in drop-ins During a drop I’m able to walk, give treats/medication, change diapers, crate animal if needed, and do overnight stays as well. Flexible, let me know!

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve been the designated pet sitter for all my family and friends since I was 10. Over the years, I’ve gained very diverse experiences and skills in pet care, including: • Caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages • Aiding dogs with mobility issues • Caring for blind and/or deaf dogs • Administering medications, including insulin • Managing conflict between dogs • Basic grooming of all coat types • Basic training techniques, as learned through a service dog training program • Bonus: became the best friend of Kenny Chesney’s dog, Poncho, for a day I’m free whenever your pets need me, weekends and weekdays. I only have one online class this summer, so I can give your pets all the attention they need! Let me know any specific care preferences such as crating, separating certain pets, preferred route for walks, cleaning instructions, etc. I discipline dogs only with positive reinforcement. I refuse to use any tool that can harm the dog, including prong collars.

About: My parents close friends/family members and even some of my best friends have trusted me to watch overnight their pets such as dogs and cats,etc and along with boarding them at our house as the owners were out of town. I have lots of personal experience with my own pets, along with experience with dog watching and walking dogs outside my family dog. I grew up living with dogs and have always had a passion for animals and would love to be able to take care of peoples furry friends. I have a part time job currently so weekdays would be best since some shifts I get off in the afternoon so most evenings I’m free so if I know in advanced when people need me that would be great to work around my schedule. Some mornings I am also free. We have a big back yard but it does not have a fully fenced in yard due to our garage but it is safe and we have a leash to attach dogs too so they can be safe while also roaming in the yard. We also have a dog bed too. Not many toys because our dog is getting older but we can provide treats if needed and make sure they have everything they need. They will also have a furry companion which is our dog Bella. Whenever I watch a dog at someone else’s home I make sure to check and see what instructions they leave for me, make sure they are fed and let outside, and also make sure they are played with.

About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was a baby and grew up visiting my grandpa’s farm in the country! My family also had cats, and I had four fish growing up! I love taking care of my family’s dog whether it be walking, exploring, or just cuddling and petting! I have had experience with all types of pets, from super energetic to ones that would sit on the couch all day long if they could! I have experience staying overnight for multiple days if needed with your pets, or dropping in a couple times a day as needed! I also love taking walks!

About: I was my aunt and uncle’s primary dog walker and sitter from middle school until I moved out for college. I have house-sat twice for a week at a time with no problems. They have a very energetic puppy who was 5 months old and 8 months old respectively when I was house sitting. I mostly have experience with medium-sized dogs, but I’ve socialized with dogs of all sizes. My own dog, Luna, is back home with my parents. We’ve had her for ten years and love her dearly, even when she eats grass. I have a busy class load from Monday through Thursday, but I’m available Tuesdays from 1-3 and evenings from 6-8 pm for walks and doggie dinners. Friday through Sunday are usually very open for me, and I would love to spend my weekends with your dogs! I am away some weekends, usually about once a month. I am fully willing to stay overnight with your dogs any day of the week, even school nights. For full time sitting, I will check in on your dogs every 3-5 hours during the school day. If I need to leave on weekends, I will not be gone for more than four hours at a time unless specifically agreed upon beforehand. I’m fully prepared to be nipped, scratched, and jumped on, but will not encourage this behavior. My general rule for walks is one leash per hand, for both my safety and your dogs’. As a student I don’t have the ability to bring any pets to my own residence, and I do not currently own a car. I am equipped for both energetic playtime and sleepy snuggles. I do not have any supplies of my own yet, since I’m just getting started here in Normal.

About: I’m an animal science major with plans to pursue veterinary medicine, and caring for animals—especially dogs—is truly what lights me up. During high school, I was the go-to neighborhood dog walker, caring for dogs ranging from large breeds to small pups, which helped grow my confidence and love for working with all kinds of dogs. I also have four years of hands-on experience in a busy dog daycare, where I’ve worked with pups of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—from energetic zoomie experts to shy cuddle bugs. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique quirks and making them feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just some extra belly rubs, I treat every dog like they’re my own. My goal is to make your pup’s time away from you feel fun, comfortable, and exciting. I currently work at a dog shelter where my shifts are either from 7am-2pm or 3-7pm. I am happy to work around your pups schedule with ahead of time notice! Before, after, and during my break your dog will have plenty of time to potty and play. When I visit a clients home I give all my love and care to them to make sure they feel happy while the owner is gone. I focus on keeping their routine as consistent, safe, and comfortable as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, including feeding times, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions, so they feel secure and stress-free.

About: I have taken care of my family's dogs for years, from puppies to seniors! I deeply love all dogs and have always connected with them. I used to spend my weekends volunteering at the humane society! I currently have open availability, including evenings, nights, early mornings, daytime, and weekends! I would love to care for your adorable furbabies whenever you need! I get to know the pets' individual preferences, likes, and overall what they respond to. I ask owners about boundaries and get a sense of how I can make the pet comfy with my presence! I will try to do similar activities/routines that my client has established with their pet to keep the pets happy and calm!

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was about 5 years old. And that was when I received my first pet, a chihuahua mix. I’ve cared for her since she was a puppy and she just recently passed away due to old age. I have the patience to deal with puppies and elder dogs! I love them all! I’m currently working part time at a restaurant so I have some down time! I’m available mostly in the mornings from 7am - 3pm. I love to go on morning walks so I’d love to take your pet with me! I have a large fenced yard so your pup can stretch their legs! I also have a male Lhasa Apso/Poodle mix and a female Rottweiler/Husky mix! Both are very friendly and would love some company!

About: I’ve been caring for animals since childhood and I have a great love for all kinds. I have 3 cats of my own but I’ve worked with all types of animals big and small! I have a one hour break during my workday that could be used for pet care, as well as reliable transportation and a valid ID to get myself where I need to be as often as is needed I personally believe in leaving a space cleaner than how you found it! I’m also respectful of however a person may choose to share their space

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and other small animals since I was 18. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets and I can watch animals at my house or stop in to yours to take care of your beloved pets! I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, ferrets, rats, mice, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, hedgehogs, lizards, and fish!

I can watch your small animals at my house since I have a room designated for small animals since I own two ferrets! I have 3 sweet kitties who get along great with dogs and other cats!

About: Brittney is a stay at home mom and dogsitters. Our daughter was born in February of 2020 and is great with dogs, she thinks she is one of the pack as she has been raised with dogs. One huge benefit of booking with us is that someone is almost always home so your pup (all dogs are pups no matter the age) will be lavished with attention. We live in a house in a quiet neighborhood and have a decent sized fenced in yard that includes a dog run. We have a doggie door that is open during the day while we are in the main area of the house. We do watch several dogs at a time and so it can be a zoo here sometimes. Pets are family and we would love to watch your family for you while you travel or work. They will be treated like one of our own. Someone is almost always home to pay attention to your pup. We play outside a lot when it’s nice out and everyone gets plenty of exercise running with the other pups. We treat your pet like we would ours. They are allowed on furniture and able to sleep in our bed if that’s what you’d prefer.

“Kelley is the best! We love her and our dog Shiloh loves her! She takes great care on their walks and adjusts when the weather's bad! Not sure what we'd do without her!”

“Brandon and Courtney are absolutely the best! We have a very high energy pup who is currently learning his manners ;) Brandon and Courtney came over ready to learn his cues and they have been absolute life savers for us on long days while we are working or away for an afternoon. We would recommend them over and over again!”
