About: Hello! I am very passionate about dogs and will provide loving, patient care while you are away from home. I have fostered many puppies and adult dogs in my home through a dog rescue in California for 5 years, and continue to do the online work for that rescue from my home in Illinois. I have two fur babies of my own Espresso and Lucy, and our two cats mostly hang out in whatever room the dogs are not in :) We have a secure, fenced backyard with room to run. Dog cuddling and treats are a staple here, as well as walks, frequent potty breaks and playing with toys! My six year old daughter loves dogs but also respects boundaries and will leave them alone if they don’t want attention. I am prompt, professional and respond to texts/calls in a timely manner. Please contact me if you have any questions! I am a stay at home mom attending school online, so frequent potty breaks, cuddles and playtime are constantly available to them, or whatever else they might need. I have a fenced in yard and ample room to get the zoomies out. Dogs are welcome on the couch and I have a few dog beds available too.

“She will totally be your fur baby's mama while you're away. She has handled many dogs IN HER HOME at one time. No kennels. If they're used to sleeping with a human... they're comfortable with her.”


10. Mandy M.

“Mandy is such a sweet soul who has the exact love for dogs that you hope for when looking for someone to care for YOUR fur baby. She has cared for our sweet baby many times and has always taken special care of her needs as she transitioned from active adult to senior dog status. If you are looking for someone you can trust whole heartedly with your pup, Mandy is your girl!”


11. Sheri B.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 5. Friends and family have relied on me to watch them when they go on vacation. I would do everything from walk, bathe and trim their toenails. Have a fully fenced in big backyard, no holes to get out of. I have two chihuahuas that love everything and everyone. We have my boyfriends little boy (4) every other weekend. We constantly keep an eye on everyone, but he's great with animals. I currently only work 4 days a week, I'm off 3 days. 8am-4pm, Sunday-Wednesday is my work week. I get off early most days. My boyfriend is home 3pm everyday. I have a fully fenced in backyard. Also if you do decide to choose my care, I'll put my dogs in the backyard or a separate room. I'll let your animals check out my home and get comfortable once that happens, they will meet one by one. Less stress on both sets of animals.
