House Sitting Pembroke

“Shawn did an awesome job of taking care of Oliver for 5 days, the longest we have ever left him. We came home to a happy boy and a tidy house! We are very grateful to Shawn for the peace of mind we had knowing Oliver was well taken care of during our absence.”

“We had Hannah stay for three nights and she did a wonderful job. I have French Bulldogs so I am very particular about their care Hannah provided updates and pictures that kept my mind at these. She was very responsible and took wonderful care of the house. Thank you again Hannah!”

About: My experience comes from a lifelong love of animals. I cared for my childhood dog from the time I was young until he passed away at 15 years old. Throughout his life, I was responsible for feeding him, spending quality time with him, ensuring he was comfortable, and providing extra care as he became a senior dog.This experience taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of understanding a pet's individual needs. I know that pets are family members, and I treat every animal with the same love, compassion, and attention that I gave my own dog. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work remotely from home Monday through Friday. This allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. Since I'm home most of the time, I can provide pets with consistent attention, supervision, and care, helping them feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention during walks, playtime, and daily activities to ensure pets stay safe and happy. I also keep pet owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while they are away. Having cared for my own dog throughout his life, including his senior years, I understand the importance of patience, reliability, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve.

About: I have 3 years of experience as a veterinary assistant and a lifelong passion for animal care. Growing up on a farm and helping care for relatives’ pets gave me hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. As a dog owner to 4 dogs of my own, I understand the importance of providing loving, attentive, and reliable care for every Pet Pet care will be my full-time focus, allowing me plenty of time to provide your pets with the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible. From feeding and walks to playtime, cuddles, potty breaks, and medication administration if needed, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

“Philip did a wonderful job watching my three cats! My spouse and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a friendly and trustworthy pet sitter.”

About: I’ve been taking care/training dogs for 6+ years. I have worked with a professional dog trainer for about three years; training, boarding, walking, socializing, and generally taking care of them. I love training dogs cool tricks and basic obedience! I am currently enrolled full time in college, but am flexible in the early mornings, afternoons, and evenings seven days a week! Just let me know! I am experienced with taking care of/training multiple dogs, but would prefer working with one dog at a time (if you have multiple) until the dogs are at a comfortable level of training. This really varies on the animals, but I work with all situations.

About: I truly love pets and enjoy taking care of them. I regularly care for my brother’s and my boyfriend’s dogs, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and giving lots of attention and affection. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs! Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I’m already used to caring for dogs on a daily basis. I plan my schedule around their needs, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and relaxation. I care for pets in their home by following their routine, providing feeding, walks, playtime, attention, potty breaks and making sure they feel safe and loved.

“April watched our gaggle of pups when we had to unexpectedly go out of town. She did an amazing job with them, was responsive, and I felt at ease knowing she had a handle on our crew. We have a puppy and an older guy needing medical care and she handled both so well. I would definitely recommend April!”

About: I'm 50 years old, and have mostly owned pit bull breed dogs, but I love all breeds. From 2010 to 2018, my APBT was trained as a therapy animal, we did hospital visits and library events with children. I taught him several tricks, such as left, right, speak, play dead. My current pit is a rescue and I am off leash training. Dog Walking: I work in the Kankakee area, so coming to walk your dog in Kankakee, Bradley, Bourbonnais, is NO problem! Either in the mornings (after 7am) and/or later in the evenings (8ish pm) it's all negotiable. I live in Iroquois county, so I have more availability to walk your dog if you are in that area. Pet Sitting: I can come to sit in your home, if that is preferred. I am also available to just come let them outside, spend time and play, feed, water, clean up. Boarding: I would love to open our home to your precious babies. Non smoking, fenced in yard, lots of walks in my small town. My dog friendly pup can't wait to play tag around the dining room table. All pets are welcome on the couches and have full access to the entire 1st floor, including the bed in the spare room. My husband and I work different shifts, so someone is usually always home. A maximum of 3 to 4 hours of an occasional overlap in shifts. I am able to crate your pet if preferred, or close off access to half of the living space. Before boarding, a few meet and greets are necessary. More details as we move forward. Cats: I will help with your cats, spending time, play, feed, clean litter boxes. I also have several years of experience with birds. I know how important socializing is to birds, and leaving them alone can cause problems and stress. Boarding of cats and birds can be discussed. As I'm nearing retirement from the Healthcare field, I would like to do more of what I love, which is caring for and spending time with animals. If I can do that for you, and ease your worry while you are away, it's a win for everyone! Reach out and let me help you today. As far as boarding your dog, my husband and I work different shifts, so someone is always home. A fully fenced back yard and good sniffer walks in my small town. Your dog is welcome on the couches and downstairs bed. Access to entire 1st floor. I can also crate if preferred. Baths and nail trims are no problem! I have a 60lb staffordshire terrier who loves all kids, people and dogs. It's playtime almost 24/7! Unless it's nap time and he's professional at that also!

About: I bring 7+ years of pet care experience, including working in a daycare setting where I cared for multiple dogs at once. I focus on safety, structure, fun playtime, and personalized attention to every during alone time. Making sure they feel comfortable, confident, and excited to see me. I am currently completing an externship for school, which takes place earlier in the day. I have open availability after 2pm on weekdays and flexible availability on weekends, making it easy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended care as needed. I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I closely follow feeding schedules, leash guidelines, and any special instructions provided. I maintain clean spaces, supervise all interactions, and communicate updates regularly so pet parents feel confident and at ease.

About: I worked full time for a shelter and loved working with every animal there. Meeting them at their level so that their needs were completely fulfilled was my passion. Whether they were high or low energy, dim or bright, friendly or not, I thrived on figuring out what would make the the most adoptable and what would make them most comfortable in the harsh shelter environment. It was a difficult and demanding job at times especially when I needed to provide first aid or medication/therapy for ailing animals but I always enjoyed coming home knowing I did something that meant something to those parent-less pets. I also had the lovely opportunity to work the social media for the shelter and take photos and videos of each animal to best display their personalities to the wider public who wouldn't normally see them otherwise. I currently work part time with very flexible hours so I am frequently available to provide service to both my own pets and others. I find it very fulfilling to be able to make time for my own furry friends! Working in a shelter environment I often met many animals at their lowest when they were beyond scared and upset. I got exposure to many dogs and cats that were horribly unadapted to life around people and had personalities on either end of the spectrum. I am more than comfortable with animals that are more aggressive in both appearance and personality and was frequently tasked with retrieving abandoned or lost animals using the company van.

“I am so grateful that we found Cindy to watch our 3 pets. Our dog is 9 years old and this was the first time we left her with anyone besides my son. As soon as we met Cindy, I knew she would take good care of them. We received updates while we were gone and everything ran very smoothly. If we go on any other trips, I hope Cindy will be available to watch our animals. Thank you!!”

About: Welcome to my profile! I have been a caretaker for over 18 years. I started as a nanny, fell into a house assistant, and have pet/house sat for numerous people both in Chicago and LA. Currently I run a small business working part-time as a home organizer and looking to supplement that income. I am a good communicator, responsible, and trustworthy. I will give your animals and house as much TLC as I can. I work part-time as a home organizer and I am looking to supplement that income with more active work that fulfills me. There's a chance I actually open up my own pet day care one day. Tend to their feeding and bathroom needs especially staying consistent with the schedule the pet parents provides. Since I work part-time I can be home with the animals longer to give them more TLC..

About: I love animals. I have owned a horse, birds and fish. Although I never owned a dog or cat, Friends and family have always asked me to pet sit and I have always been more than happy to ablige. As a former letter Carrier, my favorite customers were four-legged. I am retired and want to stay active. Who can keep you more fit and active than a dog that is waiting for a walk-date? When I have dog sat, I usually go for multiple walks. I can walk all day. The dogs love it and it makes them tired. Animals need mental stimulation outside of their house or yard just like people. I try to find things to keep us both busy and happy.

“Juliana was awesome taking care of our Greyhound. She constantly kept us up to date for our entire trip. The best part when we returned home, our house was totally clean. I will definitely book with her again. Five star rating, for sure!!”

About: I was always the go to person for pet sitting in my family. Growing up, we always had at least one dog in the house. And I was fortunate enough to have had one for 16 years. Her name was Bear. She was the best family dog anyone could ask for and I miss her very much. She is the reason I love taking care of animals so much. Recently, I have become very fond of cats and live with 2 of them. They have stolen my heart and take care of them every day. I also have two reptiles which are my whole world. No matter what animal, I would love to take care of them. I’m the sitter for you! I am in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is very flexible right now. I am very open and honest so I’m very willing to for the schedule that’s best for you and your pet! I am not offering services in my home. As much as I would love to, I rent and cannot have a lot of animals staying with me. I’m sorry for the inconvenience!

About: My passion for taking care of pets knows no bounds. I provide lots of love for pets, and in turn, they provide an inspiration for my art. In fact, some of my comic characters are based on pets I've had over the years As of now, I'm available all day, every day. This availablilty gives me ample time to make sure your beloved companions are safe and sound. I value your pet's safety above everything else. I always keep a watchful eye on pets to make sure they're never in any danger. Whenever I'm out on walks with pets, I make sure to keep them close by.

About: I have many years of experiences caring for pets of all breeds and sizes. You can trust that your pet will be in loving hands with me. I’m currently taking a career break, so I have plenty of time to give your pet attentive care. I have an active lifestyle and love the gratification that comes with caring for animals. I’m currently living in a pet friendly apartment. While I don’t have a yard, I would love to take your dog for long walks around the neighborhood.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and dogs have always had a special place in my heart! Growing up, my family had dogs, horses, goats, chickens, cats, birds, fish—you name it. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me, and over the years I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for friends and family whenever they go on vacation. I understand that every dog is unique, whether they’re full of energy and love long walks or prefer cuddles and a relaxing day at home. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away by keeping their routine as normal as possible. You can expect plenty of playtime, belly rubs, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I treat every dog as if they were my own and will keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in good hands! I currently work full-time from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM and have an hour commute each way. Because of this, I offer boarding for pets who are comfortable being alone for an extended period during the workday. I am fully available on weekends and can dedicate plenty of time to your furry family members! I also offer evening dog walks and drop-in visits after work. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my schedule or your pet’s specific needs—I’m happy to accommodate whenever possible! Your pet will be welcomed into a safe, loving home away from home! I live in a top-floor apartment with carpeted stairs and plenty of windows, perfect for curious pups who love to look outside and watch the world go by. There’s also a private dog park directly across the street from my complex, giving your dog a great place to play and burn off some energy. My neighborhood is quiet and pet-friendly, making it ideal for long walks and plenty of sniffing adventures. I make sure every pet gets lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and, of course, treats (with owner approval!). My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away, treating them like part of my own family.
