About: Nothing is too good for our pets. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for my pets. You can bet, I’ll do the same for yours! Dogs are my specialty but I love them all. I’m currently earning my Dog Obedience Certification from Animal Behavior College. I’m almost finished with school! I currently hold six certifications, including dog walking, pet first aid/CPR, and pet nutrition. My final certification will be in obedience. I’m happy to do whatever your pet needs and what you’re comfortable with. Let them out mid-day, clean up litter boxes, or refill food and water bottles for animals in tanks and cages. I have a little experience with giving some types of medications as well. I’ll throw a ball for your dog, dangle a string for your cat, and help your fish get unstuck from behind the filter.

About: I have experienced taking care of senior dogs especially with vision issues. I can give oral medication. I work at a doggie daycare part-time time. I am a full-time student at Richland who works part-time at a dog boarding place mainly during the weekends. My class load is typically three to four days a week. I have a fenced in yard at my house. At clients house if no fenced yard I can take them for a walk or play with them inside to help get their energy out.

“We really loved having Heidi to help out with our pups! This was our first time using Rover, so it was a little new for us. Heidi was super accommodating with great communication and reliability even when we needed to add last minute drop-ins. She went above and beyond in taking care of our pups and we couldn't ask for a better first experience. We will definitely be checking Heidi's availability the next time we plan a trip out of town!”

“Kristen was amazing. She was responsive, showed up on time and stayed for the amount of time booked, and did everything I asked of her. Most importantly she played and snuggled with my dogs and made me feel so much better about being away!! Additionally my flight back was delayed and she was flexible about making an extra visit to help me out with unexpected travel. If you need a sitter for your babies I highly recommend Kristen!”

About: I've had pets my whole life, from birds, reptiles, and fish to dogs, cats and rodents, so I know my way around various pets and how to take care of them, as such any special needs won't be too far out of my expertise. When it comes to dogs I've taken two puppies of mine to training classes and am willing to work with whatever training you have in place with your dog, whether that is working on correcting behaviors like jumping or continuing to teach them certain tricks while you're away, I will try my best to make sure they stay on the right track! Cats are the kind of pet I've had for the longest and know the best, even though none of mine so far have been major trouble makers I know how fickle some can be. I'm not afraid to do the occasional litterbox clean if needed or to keep an eye on them during their occasional zoomies. Currently my schedule is pretty flexible, I'm available any day from noon to midnight so if you need someone to check in on your pet overnight I'm available! I'm willing to work with any dietary needs and/or restrictions your pet has and as I've given medications to my pets before I would be able to give your pet any if they needed it during my visit. I'm big into teaching my dogs how to be respectful on a walk so I would be willing to continue any on walk training you may have!

About: I had my own dog once until he passed away since then i have not been able to get another one but instead i used my time to take care of others my moms, neighbors and friends to still share my time and love i have for pets. One day, my friend who is also on rover took me with him to one of his walking visit and i realized how much love and time i can give to the pets in my community so here Iam sharing all the love and time to all who needs it . Im currently working 10hours shift 7am-5:30pm Wednesday through Saturday. I will be available in the evenings in Wednesday- Saturday and anytime between Sunday- Tuesday mornings afternoon or evenings When i care for pets in my clients home i make sure that i follow through in the instructions they provide me to give the best care .. when i care pets in my home , I have a safe backyard where they can play and run around safely ..

About: I have been an animal lover since I was a kid. Rescuing chickens, rabbits, cats, horses - you name it! In my adult life, I took some time away from pets while obtaining my Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry. The first thing I did after relocating to Decatur, IL for my job, was adopt an unwanted adult shelter cat that resided at Animal Control for months, Spider. He is still with me - 11 years later. I have learned the reasons why Spider was surrendered. It inspired me to get involved with animal rescue in the community. I have adopted and fostered puppies, dogs, kittens, and cats. I have probably dealt with nearly every type of cat or most cat disabilities at this point - and if not, am extremely willing and able to learn. My feline resume includes sight and hearing impaired, sick, diabetes, incontinence, behavioral issues, MORE... I am a huge believer of positive reinforcement training for dogs. If you follow dominance training or negative reprimanding, we will not get along. I have taken two doggos through AKC CGC certification awards and other courses. My personal dog, Timber, suffers from several health issues including hypertension - which caused enucleation of both eyes; chronic rhinitis; and gingival hyperplasia. I am very used to paying attention to the subtle signs of dogs when medical issues arise. Currently, i am working from home, but transitioning back to in-person office work soon. When I return back to work, my schedule does offer a lunch break and reasonable flexibility. Interestingly, all of my puppy fostering has been pre-COVID/work-from-home! My home offers a fenced-in yard. We always walk pets on-leash. In side the home, we have options for crating and our home has several doors to close off rooms to create separate safe spaces, if needed. We also have several baby gates. Crating is very useful for at least feeding times. Our resident dog, Timber, eats in his crate, and he is trained to go there if he gets stressed - even though he is blind. I can often watch cats here in a spare room. Although, I do think cats are happiest at their homes with daily visits, if an option. In a client home, I would like to try to stick the schedule the pets are used to. Arranging a visit to understand the home layout, where things are kept, and meeting the pets are very important to me. I am happy to arrange multiple visits or stay at the house, depending on the needs of the clients and pet(s).

“Ben was wonderful with our two kittehs, one of whom is an older girl. We will definitely ask him to take care of them in the future. Thanks, Ben!”
