Dog Sitting Parchment

“Great communication and my cats were very happy 😊”

“Christi took exceptional care of my puppers while I was out of town. She was fantastic. The check in cards were a great feature, Christi gave updates and photos during visits. Knowing my fur family was in good hands provided the peace of mind I needed. I would choose Christi as my pup sitter any day!”

About: I can use any training tools you use on walks to continue their training. I can take your pup for a run if they have extra energy they need to burn too! I have a part time job allowing me time to walk your furry friend most afternoons/evenings with the occasional morning or weekend walk if needed! I have a dog if your pup wants a friend on their walk or if they need a solo walk that works too! I stay within your neighborhood so we are never far from home keeping the doggies calmer.

About: I’ve owned dogs since before I can even remember and they all still have a special place in my heart. I have tons of experience with pet sitting, dog walking, belly rubs and ear scratches. My skin care routine wouldn’t be complete without dog kisses. I’ve wrestled huge dogs since I was 6, so no dog scares me. And if I get bit, it is what it is cause I still love that doggo. I’ll treat your pets like I would my own - which means they’re family. They deserve the world! I am currently available every day, all day. I’d love to turn this into a career so this will be my number 1 priority. I live at an apartment complex that is extremely pet friendly and has GREAT areas for walking and two fenced in areas where dogs can run. I also have a sliding glass door that goes out to a patio and yard area because I live on the ground floor. I can crate your puppets if needed or they can be free to roam around.

“Emma was great! This was our first time using Rover and she se the bar high with a meet and greet before hand, timely communication and made us feel at ease. Our boys loved her and we are looking forward to our rebooking with her!”

About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember. My dad used to help help run a rescue for several years, and we had many dogs of varying breeds and ages in our home. I currently have one dog named Alvin who was born in 2022. He is a yellow lab with a lot of energy! I am venturing into the working world, and this is my only role. My availability is wide open and I'm willing to help when needed! I have a small fenced in area under our deck where my dog relieves himself. I go for walks and there is a dog park very close to the house. My dog has extreme crate anxiety, so he isn't created. I am comfortable helping to ensure your pet is created as necessary.

“Justice was amazing and so great with our pup! They became best buds. :) Justice was great with communication, providing updates, and always on time.”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've been lucky to parent dogs, cats, and horses, including two retired racing Greyhounds and a tuxedo cat who made me a certified cat person. Beyond my own, I've been caring for pets professionally (i.e., beyond friends and family) for more than 15 years, and after taking some time away while completing my PhD and living abroad, I'm excited to be back doing something I've always loved. In 2011, I started walking pups professionally in Chicago as a side gig during my breaks from tour managing for a band, which quickly turned into my dog-walking clients asking me to stay in their home with their pets while they were away. Over the span of just a few years, I built relationships with more than 30 clients, with most of them turning into repeat (and repeat and repeat!) clients. I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from tiny Yorkies to Great Danes and everything in between. I've also worked with many pets that required extra patience or specialized care. I've cared for senior pets, dogs < 1yo, a blind Australian Cattle Dog, a deaf cat, highly anxious and stranger-wary dogs, VERY stranger-wary cats, a Beagle with a seizure disorder, and pets receiving medication. I've also been the go-to sitter for a couple of families going through difficult times with their critters, including caring for their pets with terminal illnesses during their final days (both a black lab named Maggie and the sweetest deaf black cat named Sam) . Over the years, I've handled a few very unexpected situations as well. Whether it's a medical event requiring an unexpected trip to the veterinarian or even arriving to a cat drop-in visit to find that the apartment had experienced a break-in (in my Chicago days, which included working with police and gathering the terrified cats from the apartment stairwell), I've stayed calm, communicated clearly, and focused on keeping the critters safe and the clients informed. There have also been several occasions where I've extended my stay last-minute due to a client's canceled flight or interrupted travel plans. One of the biggest differences between my prior pet sitting days and now is my flexibility due to my remote work. When I pet sat extensively throughout Chicago, my tour managing days had ended and I worked a full-time 9-5 downtown. This was fine for my clients, as they had a similar schedule. But I now work fully remotely, so I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to spend much more time with your pets throughout the day than I could years ago. I essentially do my best to work around your pet's normal routine. I'm happy to accommodate early mornings, evenings, or midday visits whenever possible. My goal is to make life feel as normal and stress-free as possible for your pets while you're away. When I'm in your home, I treat it with the same respect I'd expect someone to show mine, as I've also hired pet sitters over the years for my own critters. I follow your instructions (the more the better!), keep you updated with photos (lots!) and messages, and make sure your pets receive the same routines, rules, and attention they're used to (e.g., their feeding schedules, medications, favorite walking routes, cuddle time, or simply keeping them company).

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. I live with 2 cats now whom I care for deeply. I love caring for others, so dog sitting is a good way to show my affection! I am working part time at another job, so I have plenty of time to care for a little friend until the school year starts. I care for pets by following the routine of the owner. Making sure the animal feels safe and within its routine when it’s owner is not home.

About: I've been taking care of critters of all sorts since childhood. I grew up with cats, then when I was deemed responsible enough a slew of guinea pigs, hamsters and a ferret. During my adult years I've rescued, and rehomed more then a dozen cats. I'm also a bit of a dog lover; I've dealt with behavioral issues, doggys that need more training and a couple aggressive canines. My current pup has anxiety issues, I consider myself a bit of a master in getting all dogs to love me. I enjoy going on walks, and do appreciate being able to give your pet some happiness while their favorite human is away. My schedule is mostly open, I do have my own pup that does need my attention but I'm currently not working, and in a transitional state. my own pets eat better then I do. They are more spoiled then most children, I do appreciate getting to play and taking them for walks. It's all based on your animals need of care. I've had clients who's dog would overheat and go into seizures (thankfully never with me) but we'd throw the ball until you could tell she was warm and then go inside for a break. Play is dependant on the animal, but I do enjoy taking them for walks or throwing the ball!

About: I've grown up my entire life surrounded by pets. I absolutely love animals, dogs and cats especially. I've spent the last year looking after the pets of fellow family and friends and worked my way up to watching for fellow residents in my city and cities nearby. I'm a full-time employee in a K-12 public school and a part-time student at Wayne State University. My college schedule is flexible, and I still have plenty of time during the day to help. Back home I would feed and water my pets every morning, take them for a walk if the weather was nice, and play games such as fetch. For my clients I will do have your pets fed at the desired time you prefer. I spend time playing with them, giving them the attention they deserve, and a walk.

About: Hi! I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for about 7 years now, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of pups—different sizes, ages, and personalities. I also have a 6-year-old dog of my own who I’ve raised since he was just 8 weeks old, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your dog. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. Whether your pup loves walks, cuddles, or just hanging out, I’m happy to match their routine and keep them comfortable and happy. I’ll also keep you updated so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands! I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day, including weekends. Whether you need early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening care, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the attention and care they need! I primarily care for pets in my client’s home so they can stay comfortable in their own space and stick to their normal routine. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs or medications. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping their environment clean and stress-free. I also respect your home and keep everything just as you left it. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away!
