About: I've had a variety of different types of pets around me my whole life. I have loved and cared for every one of them. I have trained my own dog and have taken care of many senior dogs until their passing. I'm currently working a part-time job, I have plenty of time during the afternoon and evenings to play and care for your pets. I'm available any day of the weekday after 12 and all day on the weekends. I have a partially fenced in yard, and one loving dog and two laid back cats, to keep your pet company. I have plenty of toys and treats to keep your animals happy.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since childhood. First it was cats, then dogs, and I’m now a proud owner of a Quaker parrot. I’m willing to walk or pet sit dogs, help pet sit cats at their own home, and the same with exotic birds. Someone is always home with the pet and we also help you dog get socialized with our parrot. When I had dogs, I let them sleep on the bed with us. I also let them sit on the furniture, too. And I do spoil them, also. I work full time in the afternoon shift but my boyfriend works mornings so there is always someone home. He loves animals, too! I do my best to work around my schedule. Our bird Kerry only goes in his cage when we are both out of the house and at bedtime. Otherwise, we let him out. Kerry is used to dogs. He likes to talk to dogs.

I absolutely love leaving my dog with Beyonka! My pup is always extremely happy when he goes to her place, and that gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s being well cared for. Every time I pick him up he smells delicious and looks so well-loved. You can tell she truly enjoys what she does. I 100% recommend her—she’s amazing!

About: I have both personal and practical experience caring for dogs. Raising my own poodle taught me patience, consistency, and how to meet a dog’s daily needs with love. On top of that, I’ve babysat multiple dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, which helped me learn how to adjust to each dog’s unique temperament. I’m comfortable handling playful puppies that need extra attention and energy, as well as older dogs that require a gentler, more careful approach. No matter their age or personality, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. I am available in the mornings, which is a great time for walks, feeding, and playtime. In the evenings, I sometimes work, but I make sure to schedule pet care around my shifts so that every pet receives the attention and care they need. I am reliable and organized, and I prioritize making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared-for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can eat, play, rest, and get plenty of attention. I make sure routines—like feeding, walking, and playtime—are consistent to keep pets happy and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions to maintain their pet’s usual routine. I ensure their home stays clean, their pets are fed on schedule, and they receive love, playtime, and any special care they need. I also provide updates to the owner, so they can feel confident their pet is safe and happy while they’re away.

Gardner, IL, 60424

About: I have had dogs all my life & have taken care of friends & family’s pets. I tend to adopt “problem” dogs that other people can’t handle. I love a challenge & gaining the trust of the dog. I used to frequent the Dominican Republic to feed & give flea baths to the neglected street dogs out there. I’m currently working from home & was a bartender for the last 20 yrs but now looking for a new career with animals because they are my true passion. I just moved to the Gardner, Illinois for a bigger yard & a 6ft privacy fence to expand my dog sitting business. I also have a small pool for the dogs. I have lots of gates up throughout the house & different rooms I can put dogs in if any need to separated. I also have large crates I can use.

Ransom, IL, 60470

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, and naturally when I was old enough to start working with them I did. From the age of 10 I volunteered with the animal clinics; walking dogs, cleaning up after them, medicating them, feeding them, bathing them, even sometimes having to help restrain them. I started learning how to work with dogs from a young age and when I was 15 I started working as a kennel assistant/worker at a veterinary hospital where I eventually gained more responsibilities and experience in the veterinary field and became a vet tech through experience. Even though I work a full time job M-W, I work from home. I am also a stay-at-home-mom, so I am almost always home. When I am not actively interacting with my dogs I like to give them enrichment toys. If were outside we go out for an hour or so every 2-3 hours. If I know it's a stay in the house kind of day we feed through games. I love taking my girls for "adventures" every chance we get for socialization, even if that means we just go sit at the ball park and sit and watch. I have an unfunded yard, however I have 3 tie outs and a large outdoor dog pen. I have a small house, but I have an attached single car garage that has been converted into an extra room for the dogs. I have 2 friendly dogs that will be able to keep your fur baby company.

Yesenia was so great. I was in from out of town and I had a gap between when we needed to be out of the Airbnb and when the class I came for ended. I needed some place to take my dog for a few hours. She was conveniently near where I needed to be. She attentively asked about my dog’s needs (she’s dog-reactive and has anxiety) and provided a safe space for her to be. My dog felt so relaxed that she fell asleep while cuddling with her. Would highly recommend Yesenia’s services!

About: Love to have a furry companion on my walks and give them some time outside, I’ve had dogs my whole life big and small and always enjoy walking them. Me and my husband are working part time, and we love dogs, so we have plenty of free days to spend and take nice walks with your pup! Our house has a fenced in yard and we also have a few gates so the dogs can’t get to any places they shouldn’t be.

About: In my home, your pet will be treated like family, and given as much love, attention, and activity as they desire. Living on ten acres of land offers my clients the unique opportunity to experience a true country retreat when boarding in my home. In addition to leashed walks all around the property, we also have a well maintained, secure fenced-in yard for supervised off-leash playtime and potty breaks. While we're able to take a walk on the wild side out on the farm, inside the house is kept clean and sanitized at all times to ensure a happy, healthy stay for your pet. The three dogs living in the home are all dog-friendly, but don't sweat it if your furry friend is not! I am capable and more than happy to accommodate pups who might not prefer the company of other dogs. I have fostered a number of animals both healthy and ill, and have had the honor to take on numerous hospice cases. These experiences have left me comfortable providing care to senior and special needs animals, as well as animals with particular medical needs. I have also worked with trainers over the years with a variety of reactive, and agressive fosters, giving me a unique perspective and ability to work with a wide variety of behavioral issues. Beyond our more common furry friends, I also have extensive experience with exotics and a variety of farm animals. I work from home and make my own schedule, so no matter the schedule you require your pet care done on, I will likely be able to accommodate it. I live in a four bedroom home, with an entire guest room dedicated to your pets. I have the ability to crate your pets, or leave them uncrated in a comfortable, pet safe room whenever I am not interacting with them. I have three friendly dogs and can do supervised group playtime in our spacious fenced in yard if desired. I also live on ten acres of property, so there will be plenty of playtime to be had on leash in our beautiful, open fields outside of unleashed playtime in the enclosed yard.
