About: I've taken care of animals since i was 10 and grew up around dogs,cats,horses,cows and rabbits. I own and have owned in the past: dogs, ferrets for 30 yrs, rabbits, turtles and an iguana. Working as a kennel manager for a vet clinic in the past, gave me even more animal handling, care and ability to medicate many kinds of animals. I have been a member of a local dog training club where i have trained my own dogs and helped to assist in training classes. I am currently self employed so am able to work my schedule around you and am available pretty much any day of the week including weekends and some holidays. I am very responsible and have reliable transportation and am able to give your furbabys whatever care they may need whether that is playing, cuddling on the couch, medications or some fun training.
“Donna (Ginger) did an excellent job watching my kitty Luna over Christmas break! I would recommend her to anyone needing a thoughtful and respectful sitter. She was very communicative and sent pictures of Luna that warmed my heart while I was gone. She was attentive and let me know of small problems, etc and I am so thankful to her. Thank you so much Donna! You were amazing :)”

“Angelique was great! This was our first time leaving our pets with someone who wasn't family or friends, so we were nervous, but she did an amazing job! She even got my super skiddish cat to come out of hiding 😊 I would definitely recommend using Angelique!”

About: I grew up taking care of our family cats and dogs. Now I have two dogs of my own, one named Gus, he’s a 5 year old golden retriever I got as a puppy and trained myself. My other dog is Puzzle, she’s a 3 year old rescue golden/husky mix. These guys are my babies and I’d love to care for your pets like I do mine! I work part time, I have a very flexible schedule and I’m available weekdays, weekends and holidays. My daily schedule can be adjusted to fit the needs of your pets as needed. I have two friendly dogs to give your pup some company or if they prefer to keep to themselves I’ll love on them as much as they let me, play with toys and make sure they are fed. Most importantly your fur babies will be safe and sound and happily waiting for you to come home.
“I couldn't be happier with Serenity's care for my dog! She was attentive, reliable, and treated my pup like her own. It was clear she has a natural love for animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in her care. Serenity sent regular updates, which made the experience even better. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”

“Linden is excellent with our pet. She leaves us feeling happy and safe that our lil pal is well taken care of. Thankful for her thoroughness and respect while we're away. Thank you!”

“I was away from my babies for almost 2 weeks and was really nervous leaving them but was so reassured with Ivory!! She was so sweet and always went above and beyond with her communication and care! I always knew what was going on and always had plenty of pictures. I’ll definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone!”

About: For as long as I’ve been around I have had animals in my home, from dogs to bearded dragons I have a lot of experience. I also volunteer at the local shelter giving me even more experience with many different animals personalities! I am currently a college student and am looking to make some extra money. I have a class schedule of 5 classes a week so I have plenty of time to help you out! I will be sure to follow all given instructions to make sure your animal is cared for, I will be sure to use as much care as I would with my own animals and will love yours just as much as I love mine!
About: Hello, my name is Jennifer Jones. I'm 32 years old from Tremont, Illinois. Ask anyone who knows me, and they'll tell you that I'm a compassionate, dedicated, and hardworking individual with a broad range of skills in animal care. My lifelong passion for animals started young. I began caring for and training them in grade school. I was a volunteer at TAPS for five years, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs. I also assisted under a licensed veterinary technician for two years, where I gained experience administering oral, topical, as well as ear and eye medications, so I'm comfortable caring for pets with specific health needs. Whether it's handling, training, or providing medical support, I'm confident in my ability to provide top-notch care for animals, where I will always aim to make every pet feel safe and loved while their pawrents 🐾 are away. I appreciate you taking the time to review my profile, and for considering me to care for your fur babies. 🐶 🐱 I look forward to hearing from you soon! ☺️ I am available to provide care for my clients at this time, given my current employment status. I am eager to discuss how I can contribute and provide a suitable environment for my clients, and I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate and support their well-being. Given the nature of my services, I will adhere to and utilize the existing systems and protocols established by my clients for the care and well-being of their canine companions, ensuring consistency and familiarity for the animals in my charge.
“A lovely young lady. Took time to come & meet my doggie before hand. Stayed longer than requested to spend more time keeping my Izzy company. Would HIGHLY reccomend, don't hesitate to use her. Thank you Olivia.”

“Abigail was amazing with our two kitties. She was a great communicator, good photographer, and kept our little guys fed and happy for the couple weeks we were out of town. Plus she even got our shy guy to make a few appearances! Highly recommend Abigail!”

About: I'm dependable and accept all breeds and sizes. I'll treat yours as my own. I've always had a dog, or 2, or 4🤣... But we've been dogless over a year. My husband suggested offering services here, so I can get my doggo fix! 😁 I enjoy every dog I meet. I deliver for Walmart, and it's the highlight of my day when I get to see a customer's dog! I make my own schedule. I'm an independent contractor, and work through Spark Delivery to deliver Walmart+ orders. My favorite part of delivering is seeing animals, and it makes my day! When I have a scheduled drop in, I will simply work from the nearest Walmart, so I can drop in at the scheduled time(s). I can also send updates when I'm there. If boarding with me, I can periodically update you with pictures. I am home all day on Saturday & Sunday. I am also flexible with transportation and can pick up and drop off. There is a run setup here, and inside accomodations-- an optional spare room if quiet is your dog's thing and kennel (if needed). If dropping in at your home, I will treat your home and animals with respect, and provide comfort and care.
