About: Hello, I have many years of experience caring for animals including, but not limited to, dogs (5 lbs to 200 lbs), cats, fish, reptiles, rodents, and birds. I have lots of experience taking care of special needs and a few of mine are special needs as well. Your animal need extra care? I’m your girl! I have a pretty open and flexible schedule usually I work for a couple of hours around dinner time but other than that anything else can be changed! Saturdays I usually work during the night and Sundays I work in the mornings but not for very long. I can easily take out your pets out and about for whatever their needs are at pretty much any time of the day! I only do care in your home when watching pets but usually I will take it on 2-3 walks a day, if weather permits, maintain a strict feeding schedule assuring the animal maintains its routine and I will stay a majority of the day in your home so that animal doesn’t feel alone.

What a relief to find such a trustworthy, kind, communicative, and compassionate pet sitter! My dog Edie can be a handful with some anxiety issues, but both she and my kitty Pika did great while I was away. On top of that, my house was tidier when I came home than when I left it. I'll definitely be reaching out to Nicole (and Renee!) again in the future - they seriously saved the day and let me have a great time away without worry. Thank you!

Holly cared for our 10 month old bernedoodle and two cats. She did a wonderful job and we had complete peace of mind the entire time we were out of town! She went above and beyond to ensure everyone was well taken care of. We returned home after being away for 5 days and everything was in perfect condition. She was good at communicating with us and asking questions, which helped with our peace of mind. We could tell she genuinely cared about our pets and ensuring they were comfortable in our absence. We’d no doubt look to Holly to care for our pets the next time we need!

Mario did a really nice job caring for my little cattle dog Lucy while house sitting for me! He was communicative, kind, caring, and followed the instructions I left for my dog and my house. I’ve moved into this area recently and have not been able to find a reliable pet sitter to stay in my home when I am away for work- until now :) I will definitely reach out to Mario again as my top choice. Thank you again!

About: My boyfriend and I have always had animals in our lives. Growing up he lived on a farm with dogs, cats, goats, pigs etc. and I have had dogs and cats my whole life. We currently have 2 beautiful Great Danes, a bunch of rabbits, outside kitties, and a chinchilla! Our dogs love people, small animals, and would love a bigger dog to run around with. We would love to cuddle with your fur babies, go for walks, or just play in the fenced yard! We currently work 4 days a week leaving Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday to watch and care for your animals. My boyfriend is an early riser and I’m a night owl, so you’re pet will have plenty of time to get the care they need. We have a 2 story house with lots of room for them to lay around and have their own space if needed. We also have a large backyard that is fenced off already for our dogs.

About: I’ve got experience coming out the wazoo. I adopted my first puppy when I was 5 years old and have always had 3 cats at home growing up. Now on my own I run my house the same way with all the love crammed in. I work full time but I have a job that allows for some flexibility when needed and a family at home. But I love the chance to make some extra money after work caring for animals. I’m very good at following directions and have a natural ability to understand animals and what they need and want. Very good at learning new environments.

About: I have had pets for most of my life and enjoy playing with them and taking long walks. I have taken care of dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors. I have had dogs as small as chihuahuas to as large as golden retrievers for pets. I have pet sat for friends whose elderly cats required special care. Animals seem to love me, and I am always greeted warmly and enthusiastic by my own pets and those of my friends and family. I am comfortable walking pets rain or shine. I love animals and think of my own pets as part of the family. I don’t have any pets right now and look forward to playing with yours and providing care for them soon.

Shannon did an excellent job house sitting our 3 dogs!!! She appropriately stayed in communication and sent pictures. She was timely, and our house was clean when we got home. Shannon was genuinely invested in the care of our dogs. She gave meds, fed and played outside with them. Our dogs were genuinely happy when we returned home, and it was obvious that they were very well cared for while we were away. I will be booking Shannon for house sitting again in the near future, and I would highly recommend her to anyone else. Thank you Shannon!!

About: I was always the go to person for pet sitting in my family. Growing up, we always had at least one dog in the house. And I was fortunate enough to have had one for 16 years. Her name was Bear. She was the best family dog anyone could ask for and I miss her very much. She is the reason I love taking care of animals so much. Recently, I have become very fond of cats and live with 2 of them. They have stolen my heart and take care of them every day. I also have two reptiles which are my whole world. No matter what animal, I would love to take care of them. I’m the sitter for you! I am in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is very flexible right now. I am very open and honest so I’m very willing to for the schedule that’s best for you and your pet! I am not offering services in my home. As much as I would love to, I rent and cannot have a lot of animals staying with me. I’m sorry for the inconvenience!

About: Hi my name is Mozelle. I would love to help you out with any care you need for your animals. I have a yellow lab who I trained myself. I also have a cat and occasionally help train k9 working dogs in my spare time. I used to live on a farm and am great with all farm animals. I currently work full time, but am available in the mornings, Tuesdays and Thursdays, along with every other weekend off. I understand the need for dog walking and potty breaks being a working dog mom. I have a large yard, but it is not fenced. I will be sure to always have the dog on a leash. New surroundings can be curious for dogs and the safety is my biggest priority.

About: I have had pets since I was a kid, and all through my life I have had some sort of animal. Big or small, I have tons of experience with all kinds. Now, I have 14 fur/feather/scale babies of my own and I am going to IVCC to getting my associates in science and majoring in wildlife bio. I am out of school for the summer and looking for anything really. Full time or part time. And any time of the night or day is fine with me. I have 14 pets, no dogs or cats, but I did have plenty of them growing up. Right now we have 6 birds, three different kinds, ((3 of them are house ducks)) a snake and the rest are smaller animals rabbit, piggy's, ferret etc. The rabbit is free roam, the birds and other animals all have their own free roam/fly time. Our house is on a set schedule as soon as the sun peeks through, lol, the ducks let us know, it's time to get the day started. Due to us having this many kiddos, we do plan long days ahead of time so everything is adjusted properly so everyone is taken care of. I am no stranger to getting dirty or dealing with any type of mess. Depending on the weather, we are outside as much as possible with a number of them and always trying to find new ways to keep their little minds engaged.

About: I have always had a special connection with animals, dogs especially, and grown up being called an animal whisper. Ive had dogs of all ages my whole life. I have experience with puppies, adults and senior dog care. Currently learning more and more about training dogs and using thoes techniques on my husky mix. Im all for giving your furry friends the care they deserve❤️I dont have any cats! I am currently working at an Assisted Living and Memory Care Facility in Yorkville and my shift is 6am-2pm. My schedule changes every other week. Although my boyfriend works the 3pm-11pm shift so someone is home most of the time. I am not totally free but I would be willing to work something out! My house has a front and back yard-not too big. We use a tie out for our dog and we have a few extras if needed for your dog! Me and my boyfriend live in a two bedroom duplex. Most areas of the house is dog proofed and we have plenty of toys for both to play with. My dog does really good with other dogs and loves to have company and a friend to play with. He is still younger so he can be hyper at first but will eventually calm down:)

I am delighted to write this testimonial for Bryce, who is an exceptional and responsible pet owner. I have had the pleasure of knowing Bryce for several years, and during this time, I have witnessed their unwavering dedication and love for their furry companions. Bryce’s commitment to the well-being of their animals is truly commendable. They prioritize the health, happiness and safety of their animals above all else. What sets Bryce apart is his genuine affection and love for animals. It’s evident in the way they interact with their pets with patience, kindness, and understanding. I wholeheartedly recommend Bryce as a pet sitter to anyone looking for a compassionate and responsible caregiver for their animals. Their dedication, love and sense of responsibility make them an exemplary pet sitter, and any pet would be lucky to have them.

Kelsey is so amazing with animals! Her gentle, kind and loving nature is exactly what you want when having someone look after your fur baby. My husband and I ask Kelsey to watch our two dogs often and she always goes a great job. She always keeps us posted and sends lots of pics. When she’s unavailable, it’s really a bummer because 1) our dogs love her and 2) there’s not many people we trust to take care of our dogs and be in our home. Next time you need someone, look no further!!

About: I have had pets since I was a kid, and all through my life I have had some sort of animal. Big or small, I have tons of experience with all kinds. Now, I have 14 fur/feather/scale babies of my own and I am going to IVCC to getting my associates in science and majoring in wildlife bio. I am out of school for the summer and looking for anything really. Full time or part time. And any time of the night or day is fine with me. I have 14 pets, no dogs or cats, but I did have plenty of them growing up. Right now we have 6 birds, three different kinds, ((3 of them are house ducks)) a snake and the rest are smaller animals rabbit, piggy's, ferret etc. The rabbit is free roam, the birds and other animals all have their own free roam/fly time. Our house is on a set schedule as soon as the sun peeks through, lol, the ducks let us know, it's time to get the day started. Due to us having this many kiddos, we do plan long days ahead of time so everything is adjusted properly so everyone is taken care of. I am no stranger to getting dirty or dealing with any type of mess. Depending on the weather, we are outside as much as possible with a number of them and always trying to find new ways to keep their little minds engaged.

About: I have always had a special connection with animals, dogs especially, and grown up being called an animal whisper. Ive had dogs of all ages my whole life. I have experience with puppies, adults and senior dog care. Currently learning more and more about training dogs and using thoes techniques on my husky mix. Im all for giving your furry friends the care they deserve❤️I dont have any cats! I am currently working at an Assisted Living and Memory Care Facility in Yorkville and my shift is 6am-2pm. My schedule changes every other week. Although my boyfriend works the 3pm-11pm shift so someone is home most of the time. I am not totally free but I would be willing to work something out! My house has a front and back yard-not too big. We use a tie out for our dog and we have a few extras if needed for your dog! Me and my boyfriend live in a two bedroom duplex. Most areas of the house is dog proofed and we have plenty of toys for both to play with. My dog does really good with other dogs and loves to have company and a friend to play with. He is still younger so he can be hyper at first but will eventually calm down:)
