About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! I truly enjoy meeting new pets/friends and all different types of animals. I believe pets are family whether they are your own or someone else’s! I’ve had animals my entire life. Growing up and into adulthood I’ve love my experiences walking and sitting pets. Mine and my husbands goal one day is to live on land and have a boarding facility/daycare/animal sanctuary. We always want our life to involve caring for animals. I’m currently not working and have an open schedule. Im currently in real estate school, so I study alot and am looking for something to do part time and I love animals! We have an enclosed yard and one dog to keep your furry friend company. We can easily crate your friend if your mom comfortable! We also have a full basement!

About: I’ve lived with and cared for dog my whole life, from labs, Great Pyreneeses, mutts, and others in between! I have supported my hometown neighbors with caring for their animals, whether that’s by walking, feeding, bathing, administering medication - I’m comfortable with it all. Over the past 7 years I have been a mom to two cats and have helped friends and family care for their felines. I truly believe our pets are family to us and I treat all animals with all the love and care they deserve 🤍 I’m currently working part time, so I have flexibility in my schedule to help care for your furry friends! I currently reside in Northwest Indiana and work on the southside of Chicago on Thursdays and Fridays, but if you are needing my services I’m open to discussing how I can meet your scheduling needs 😊 I am not currently offering care for animals in my home due to my two year old cat who has not quite yet met other animals. However I am more capable of caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home.

About: I’ve had dogs ranging from a docile miniature schnauzer to the most rambunctious, sweet and loving Weimaraner. I have a huge back yard for pups to run in, basic puppy training skills, and lots of experience taking long walks with an easily distracted Weim. It’s just me during the day as my kiddo is in school full time, so I have lots of time to devote to your fur baby. I’d love to welcome your furry friend into my home and can’t wait to hear from you! I currently work from home running a small business, and have a flexible weekday schedule. I also have some Saturday/Sunday availability. I do occasionally have to run errands/attend to dog walking clients and may need to leave for 1-2 hours. I take care of a well socialized Weimaraner puppy part time who loves to play with other dogs. If this is a concern, I’m happy to let you know whether or not I’ll have her at the time you need my services. I have a fully fenced in yard and plenty of toys for your pup to pick from! I love a good game of fetch or tug of war and can keep your pet well entertained. I regularly take 2-3 mile walks with a Weimaraner and feely comfortable walking even if it’s chilly outside. In our down time, your pet can expect to rest comfortably with me on the couch or dog bed!

“Figured out how to use the app finally! Really good experience! If you folks have read my profile, you know that my dog is a large, powerful, mixedbreed. Not for inexperienced handler/owners. Even though I'm an experienced dog person and have done much training with Mariusz, these breeds, because of their consitution, size, temperment, etc. can require a strong leader. Mariusz is powerfully built and he works out too. Literally. Katelynn was able to control him with no issue. Mariusz was a very happy dog after the walk. He had a lot of fun being with her. He had that dog smile on his face; he got out a lot of energy. We hope Katelynn can walk him again . Would def recommend her !”

About: As a dog owner for the first 20 years of my life, I was used to walking, playing with, and administering medication to my best friend. Now, I find myself sitting animals of friends or family! I'm currently in the process of obtaining my Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology at Governors State University. Besides classes and studying, my availability is open to whatever your pet needs! I can give undivided attention on weekends. No other animals are in my home, which allows for your pet to receive royal treatment! Unfortunately, unfenced yard, so your pups would have to be leashed.

“Heather is amazing! We had a family emergency and she is so responsive and responsible. I trust her completely with our pets with all the experience she had. she is a great communicator. Would recommend for sure!”

About: We have a grumble of two pugs, two kids (8 and 9) I work from home so I have the time to take them out all day. We have had our pugs since they were babies, except for our late rescue who became paralyzed and needed our help with both urinary and fecal expression, as well as medications administered. We are experienced with puppies to older special needs dogs. We do not, at the time, feel comfortable with having aggressive breed of dogs in our home with our grumble of pugs or our children. We have a ranch home with no carpet, it is a very pet friendly home with a fenced yard as well. We are happy to help you with your fur babies too!~ We do ask that you bring belly bands that fit your male dogs so that they don't mark in the home, only if they show signs of lifting their leg. We can change the pads in them, but we prefer that you bring a belly band that fits them with you for your stay. Thank you for understanding. They will only be used if necessary. I’m always home other than quick trips out to run the kids to sports or errands as I work at home so able to take them out very frequently Our yard is fenced, scenic view on a large pond, and extremely dog and kid friendly Our dogs and kids love to keep younger dogs busy and senior dogs cozy. They will feel right at home during their stay with us!

About: I’ve had pets of all kinds my whole life. I love playing, walking, training, and cuddling! I am very patient with pets in their learning stages, as well as supportive to their needs as they get older. I work from home with occasionally delivery driving on my own schedule. I have a lot of free time to care for pets of all kinds! I have a fenced in back yard, two medium sized puppies, and three cats! My three cats are 9, 2 and 3 months. They have their own room that has a dog barrier with a cat door for them to come and go as they please.

About: My husband and I are very unique. We would have a farm if we could. We live in a smaller home, but have so much love between our pets and kids. I hope we can raise our 3 kids to love animals as much as we do. I have been a pet sitter for about 15 years, but grew up in a house of animals. My family's huge animal lovers. I have stayed for weeks at a time with families, dog walked, issued medicine to pets, and just simply stopped in to let them out and hang for a bit. We have had dogs and cats stay with us while families are on vacation and made it work perfectly. My kids knowing they are small, are great w the animals too. I am just excited to make your fur baby feel safe and loved while you're away. *Update: We just added bathing and nail clipping as an add on option! My husband's mom owned the Canine Clipper that was in business for over 30 years. He grew up as cheap labor for 15 years in the shop washing, drying and trimming nails of any cats and dogs that came. We do not offer grooming services as that is not in our wheelhouse. Have you pet come home feeling and smelling fresh! I just had our new baby born on August 8th this year. I have three boys that I am obsessed with. I love being a boy mama 💙 I am a personal trainer but have cut back on hours so I can hang w my kids while they are young. I sometimes forget about how I was a nanny for 10 years and a dog sitter for about 15. I would love to do my passion again knowing I have so much more free time at home. My 5 year old is in school all day, my 3 year old has preschool twice a week for 2 hrs, and my newborn just goes for the ride. I'm always home on the weekends, and during the week I'm always looking to do something-which I would love to show my kids how to treat animals. If your pet is not good w kids, I can also drop them off w their grandma for a bit. I always make it happen ❤️ She loves some grandson time. All our pets are spoiled because they are our family too. Our dogs have dog beds all around, even though they sleep on couches and beds w us. The cats have cat towers and toys and get the free range of the house. We used to have a nanny because I wanted someone here for the kids, but also the pets. It always made me feel better knowing someone would always be there for them too.

About: I have trained all my dogs from puppies to adults. I have the experience with handicap dogs. I have experience from puppies to senior dogs. I’m in the medical field so I have days off during the week. It works out great so I can do drop in visits/walks through out the day! I would go to client’s homes to do drop in visits and walking. Whichever worked best for the client. Also feed and play if needed.

About: I am a full time stay at home mom willing to cater to your pets needs. And of course give a lot of love , play, and walkies I have no set schedule every week so I am very flexible. I have a strong desire to help people when they need a sitter, walker, or just a regular potty break. House sitting- follow the owners instruction, go on walks, cuddles, feeding Walking- go on a lengthy walk to get out some energy Potty breaks- potty with a side of cuddles

“Crystal is fantastic! My pups loved her the minute they met her. She's excellent at communication and knows exactly how to give my dogs the very best care. I'm so lucky to have her caring for my dogs.”

“Mackenzie is great to work with! She was super responsive and accommodating when we arranged the initial pet care schedule. And it’s truly wonderful to see how much care and love she gives our pets.”

About: I have had a love for animals especially dogs from a very young age. I have volunteered at numerous animal rescues throughout the years, which involved walking, cleaning, and feeding the animals. I am very knowledgeable in knowing how to read animals behavior as well. I just graduated high school recently and I will be attending college to eventually become a veterinarian! So my passion is very strong. I currently have a very open schedule, so your pets needs would be very prioritized throughout the day/night depending on the service I will be giving your pet! When caring for pets in a clients home it is very important to me to provide them with their proper food and water, regular exercise and playtime with them, plus any medication that needs to be administered if needed. It is also important to me that the veterinarians phone number would be given when staying overnight in case of an emergency.

About: I have worked in a number of veterinary facilities helping take care of animals and grew up on a farm, so I love animals deeply. I am available 3 mornings a week for visits or walks so I would be able to do a morning routine with your pets. I would also be able to do some afternoon visits as well. I have been a sitter and a dog walker before so I understand the responsibility needed to do this job. I also understand the love that people have for their pets so I will take this job very seriously while also building a relationship with your pets to make them feel as comfortable as possible.

About: I grew up with two cats Blackie and Bobcat while playing with my aunt’s corgis named Bowser occasionally. Always loved him. Later in adulthood I met good people at a job I had. I’ve been dog sitting for them when they go on trips for 4 years. They referred me to their neighbor last year and I dog sit for him as well. I love to cuddle, pet and play with them. I’m currently working on building an online copywriting business and want to provide pet services as I go along. I do play hockey on Friday nights. As a dog sitter, I like to double check gates, locks, doors before letting them outside. I do not like feeding the pups from the table unless it’s okayed by my clients. Please inform me of any special needs, medication schedules, and your walking practices.

About: I raised 2 Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers into old age... bringing them into my home was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I work from home now as a voice actor so I have lots of flexibility, but it unfortunately doesn't allow for the noise of raising another pup in our home. I still adore dogs and want to be around them! (The goofier, the better.) 😜 I work from home, so I have tons of availability 7 days a week. I have a band so I'm typically at gigs Fri and Sat nights, but I occasionally have those evenings free. I'm acutely aware of how stressful it can be to entrust your pet to someone you don't know. I understand pets are family and I treat other's pets like I would my own. I was always scared to death my dog would pull away from the dog walker and get loose. I get it! I maintain a death grip on that leash, lol.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for around 4 years! I have so much enjoyment in caring for animals, I even have a dog of my own! Plus, I have a large experience with cats as well. I currently work online, making it very easy for me to have a flexible schedule with caring for animals and having time for my personal work. When caring for pets in your home I will be sure to follow any rules you have regarding your animal(s). I will be sure to make sure your animal(s) feel loved and cared for.

“Thanks so much”
