About: What sets me apart is my background as a Physician Assistant student, which means I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and used to caring for others with real responsibility. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets, medication administration, and pets who need a little extra patience or monitoring. I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, and safety—whether that’s following feeding instructions to the letter, noticing when something feels “off,” or making sure your pet is comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I also have experience with gentle puppy care, reinforcing routines, and providing consistent structure without harsh training methods. Bottom line: I don’t just “watch” pets, I care for them thoughtfully and intentionally, the same way I’m trained to care for patients. Your pet’s well-being always comes first. Weekly Routine: I’m most available Friday through Sunday, which allows for longer visits, flexible scheduling, and unrushed care. I plan my days in advance so walks, feedings, and check-ins happen consistently. Daily Care: I build pet care into my routine, not around it—no last-minute rushing. I follow established schedules closely and ensure each visit receives my full attention. Communication: I’m responsive and proactive with updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how things are going. In short: structured care, flexible weekends, and pets that stay on their routine. I prioritize safety, consistency, and a calm environment. In a client’s home, I closely follow routines, secure doors and leashes, and respect the space. I’m attentive, careful, and proactive with communication.

About: I have a degree in animal behavior and I’m at home all day long so I am able to provide constant care and attention as well as administer any medication/meet any feeding requirements. Stay at home mom so I am able to give the best care whenever they require/want it! Goes on frequent walks and to dog park daily I have a fenced in patio and baby gates in house as well as my dogs are kennel trained if any dogs need to eat separately and to provide good one on one time

“Amazing, went above and beyond. Would absolutely use again!”

About: I have pet sit since I was in middle school for neighbors and friends. I have experience with puppies through older dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, taking out, administering medicines, and of course playing with pets and cuddling them! I have had my cats since I was in first grade, so I understand how important pets are to a family! I am working as a dancer at Six Flags Great America this summer in their live shows. I will be working from 1-10pm Thursday through Mondays, and I have Tuesday’s and Wednesdays off. I am available each morning as early as needed until around 12, and I am also available for boarding. I do not work very far away, so although I will be out of the apartment for some hours each day, I will never be too far. I have a studio apartment with no additional pets, and very minimal furniture or places where your pets could get stuck or lost. It is a very safe and comfortable environment for pets to play and sleep in! I live right next to a park with plenty of space to walk and explore on a leash.

“We have had Christy walk our dogs a couple of times now and she always takes great care of Finn and Merlin. She has been a great help.”

About: I have over six years of hands-on pet care experience and currently care for two dogs and two cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, behavior cues, and individual personalities. I’ve provided care for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, including feeding, walking, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and medication schedules when needed. I’m attentive, calm, and detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication so pet parents feel confident while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already care for two dogs and two cats. I plan my schedule around consistent feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins. During sits, I prioritize being present, keeping routines consistent, and adjusting my day to meet each pet’s needs. I care for pets in a calm, clean, and safe environment, whether in my home or a client’s home. I closely follow all instructions, maintain routines, secure doors and gates, and monitor pets for any behavior or health changes. I prioritize trust, clear communication, and treating every home and pet with respect.

“Matthew was on time , polite and very friendly with my dog. He had the right questions to ask about where to walk in the neighborhood, area of disposal, can we interact with other dogs, does he like kids etc He even took my dog for a run , trained him a bit , helped let out some energy. All in all he was great, definitely recommend him”

I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and special needs. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment and closely supervise dogs to ensure they feel safe and comfortable at all times.

“Sophia is the absolute best! My dogs can be tough and she took time to make them comfortable, and was so sweet to them. She sent many cute pics and videos which was so nice for me to see while I am away. I’m definitely rebooking and so thrilled with my experience. I highly recommend!”
