12. Hayley H.
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 new 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 five 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 going back to 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.
13. Sara F.
About: I have owned pets since I was in Jr High. Once out on my own I volunteered at shelters (ARK in lacon) and since getting married we have had numerous fostered dogs and personal dogs in our home. Our two personal dogs a chihuahua named pixie and our pittie named Boston both passed away from age and illness last year. It was very hard to lose them and our hearts are not ready for another quite yet. I miss having a dog around which is why I signed up for this. We have three cats which we love dearly but it is different. If your dog needs a walk or a stop by visit I would love to help. I work part time from home and and very flexible mornings and early afternoon. My children get out of school 2:30 so my schedule gets fuller as the day goes. We have three cats and no other pets. We walk daily in our neighborhood and enjoy being outside as much as possible. The basement can easily be used if we need to keep animals separate
