“Brandi took great care of my 2 cats while I was away for a week. As someone who gets very nervous about leaving my babies behind when traveling it was nice to know that they were in good hands ☺️”

“5 stars always for Mary - she is incredibly reliable and we have no fears leaving our 15 year old pup in her care and don’t know what we would do without her!! Thank you Mary!”

“Amanda would make a great fur baby care giver. She is responsible, caring & loving. She has taken excellent care of our pets. They are treated as her own.🩵🐶🐺”


4. Katelyn T.

“Katelyn goes above and beyond when watching our house and pups while we are gone. One of my dogs is rambunctious, very large, and likes to do naughty things to get attention but Katelyn has all the patience in the world for her! I think the dogs are disappointed when we come home because they love Katelyn and all the attention and love she gives them. Highly recommend her for any fur baby needs!”

“Was our first time having to leave our dogs behind. Theresa saved us! She took excellent care of both my 80+ lb dogs. Knowing it was our first time, she came over to meet us and the dogs. They got along within seconds! Theresa was very communicative throughout the visit. Will definitely be choosing Theresa again.”

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since i started volunteering at the animal hospital in freeport il. I started doing that when i was ten years old. I have attended just under two years of schooling towards being a zoologist, and that is the goal i have. I started fostering with my grandma when i was 14, and i successfully adopted out 12 pit bulls that would have been put to sleep :) I have pet sit since i was old enough to babysit kids, my grandparents on my dads side were missionaries and would always have me take care of their three cats lucy linus and peanut. I look forward to snuggling your pooch!

About: I have always had pets growing up and my family has always called me the animal whisperer! I love making friends with the animals and having a genuine connection! I am currently a student at Rock Valley College pursuing Dental Hygiene. I have class Mondays and Wednesdays from 9am-11:30am. I am available during the week besides Sundays! I am not able to bring pets to my home for safety reasons as I have a large dog and younger kids in my home but I will more than happily take care of the pets in clients home and use information I am given to keep all the animals safe!


15. Lindsey A.
About: I have grown up with cats and dogs! I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own. 2 of my dogs are rescues and 1 since she was a puppy- now a senior being 9 years old. One of the rescues has a disability of not being able to walk and the other has fear anxiety with humans. Each needing their own training and patience from us to help them succeed in this world! I am in charge of medication management at home! I work from home 2 days a week with Friday being a half day. I am a full time mental health therapist and working with behaviors from humans to animals is something I am passionate about! I have a fenced in yard and a camera in the front. I like to go out with the dogs at first to make sure they get out safely- free of turkeys, coyotes, etc. For walks, I ensure the leash is properly on and the leash is tightly in my hand. I will absolutely abide by owners procedures and what they feel comfortable with!

“Estefanny is a great pet sitter. She was on time or let me know when there was a personal conflict right away. She kept Deb busy with walks and play time. I would use her again and recommend her to other pet owners.”

About: Hi, I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and breeds from age 15. We have pet sat professionally and also for friends and families going on trips for short or long term. I’m a stay at home mom and love pets!!! 😀 We can provide boarding for your dog(s) of most sizes. We have two medium size dogs that get along well with all different sizes, age and breeds. We are home all the time so your dog will be well cared for and get a lot of attention! We live on about 3 acres here in El Dorado Hills and have a lovely creek running through our property. We have a portion of our property fenced off for dogs to freely roam around and enjoy. This allows for plenty of outdoor play time. We have two dogs ourselves, Mochi male Golden retriever (4years) and Mila Female Golden Doodle (2years) both still very much pups and active. They are both fixed, medium size dogs with non aggressive demeanor. Both our dogs are obviously used to having other pups around and enjoy play dates and sleepovers. They are gentle and loving to our kids (12, 3 and 1 year old.) We are home full time so your dog will never be lonely. We are flexible as we know plans can change and appreciate open communication if there is a change of plans. We accept dogs of all size, breed and ages. Your dog will enjoy playing, running, whether it be fetch or water play or wrestling around with the other dogs. They have a run of the downstairs as it is hardwood and accidents would be easier to clean up. We have kiddie/dog gates up in carpeted areas. And a separate gated sleep area/room. If you have any special requests, we’d love to hear them and always do our best to accommodate. I am a retired stay at home home full time mom to care and have fun with your pups of any age, size or breed. Our pups are inside dogs. They are let out for potty breaks, to run/play and everything else to enjoy themselves. They are supervised outside 100% of the time as well as inside the house. Our area is completely fenced in with lots of shades from the trees. Dog Schedule Sample: Basic puppy/dog schedue: Wake up: Anywhere between 4:30-7 depending on pups Potty and play depending on weather. (Completely supervised while outside, we do not let them out and have them roam around on their own.) Breakfast 6:30-8am 30mins then out for potty Nap. Free play. Wrestling around etc. Puppies are taken out every 1-2 hours, more often then older dogs. 3-5pm is more simulation play. Training etc. Dinner: Anywhere around 6-7:30 30mins then out for potty Last play and potty break outside about 8:30-9-30. Tuck in and lights out for the night after coming in. However, schedule can change and vary depending on pups and situations. We are an “at home” environment and enjoy running our place unlike a kenneled facility. We have a completely fenced in yard that’s about a quarter acre or more for dogs to run and enjoy. Our own pups are friendly and enjoy running, wrestling and socializing with other dogs. We do not take in aggressive dogs as this is an “at home” environment.
