About: New to pet sitting, but not new to pet care! I treat every animal like family, and understand the love, patience, and responsibility it takes. :) I am currently working part-time! I am available on certain days throughout the week to do visits, walks, or daycare. I even can on some weekends! I have both a fenced and unfenced yard! I also have 3 siblings (6 and older) who love, enjoy, and have fun playing with all animals too! :)

About: I am a 4th grade teacher with summers off. I have a passion for walking and dogs. So this is perfect for me! I walk my 90 lb chocolate lab (quite energetic and happy) miles everyday around the neighborhood and hiking trails. He is a pretty reactive dog (all love) so I am skilled in knowing what a dog needs and how they are reacting to the external variables on a walk, and how to react to that. I would love to meet you and your animal best friend! I have the summer off, so I am available this summer. Once school gets back in session, weekend care would also be something I am interested in. I am mainly available for dog walking and/or taking care of your animal in your home. I have helped raise 3 puppies (now big dogs) throughout the past 8 years. I am very well aware of what the animal may need and how to react to that.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs. I have most experience with big dogs like Rottweilers, labs, and pitbulls (not that big I know). I’ve taken care of and helped train puppies and toddler dogs as well as senior dogs. Currently have a white pitbull mix who deals with allergies and skin issues who I trained myself. I’m happy to handle any and all quirks and requests you or your pet may have. I know what it’s like to feel like a burden when looking for a dog sitter because they need a specific feeding method or a weird ritual for potty time. I’m currently a student at Illinois Central College. I have free time most days over the summer. My availability will be a bit more limited in the fall. I am comfortable with all types of pets and all that comes with them. I have lots of experience picking up and cleaning up after animals as well as crate training if needed, skin care, giving medicine, grooming, clothing, or anything else you might need/want.

About: I have had a dog since birth. I have both big and little dogs, and I'm not intimidated by much. Each dog shows love differently. I am a full time sitter now. My long term care slots are filled up now! I have my daily daycare routine worked out pretty well, so I can do walks and/or pop-ins if necessary! We have a fenced in back yard, toys, love, and attention. Each animal deserves respect, dedication, and love to help make them feel safe always.

About: I’ve had my own dog for 15+ years and have always taken care of them. I’ve watched and cared for family members dogs as well as friends and neighbors. I am willing to walk, dog sit or just love on your pets! I am a teacher who works until 3:30 but I am free before work until 8 and after school at 3:30. I am free on most weekends as well. I have two dogs at home, so I understand how important trust is to your pet. I prefer to meet the dog before watching them, to make sure we mesh alright and there is no unexpected hiccups.

About: I've grown up always having pets in the home. We've always had at least one dog in the house, along with a handful of other types of pets (cats, rats, guinea pigs, even a chinchilla) throughout the years. This has solidified my love for animals of all kinds, and makes me eager to care for and love your pets as if they are my own, if you choose to give me the opportunity to do so :) I am a teacher trying to keep myself busy for the summer! My schedule is wide open so feel free to message me with any requests! I care for pets in their own home by maintaining their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and any medications they may need. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I also make sure to keep owners updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind! I also have reliable transportation which would allow me to be able to come to your home and care for your pet in their own environment!

About: Hello! I am so thankful to have been given a great start in the wonderful world of canine care! It started with caring for my own dogs, then walking dogs of family and friends, then it grew to working with multiple clients on a long-term basis and I have loved every minute of it! With my families love of staying active outside and passion for dogs, I couldn't have chosen a better career path. You can expect your pets to be lavished with love and attention from me when boarding or house sitting! I look forward to hearing from you! “My dog is worried about the economy because Alpo is up to $3.00 a can. That’s almost $21.00 in dog money.” —Joe Weinstein "Money can buy you a fine dog, but only love can make him wag his tail” I am currently employed on a part-time basis and my schedule is flexible and easily allows accommodation for pet care needs. I spend much of my time playing with my own dogs and we are happy to have new friends come along! With a fenced in yard and 4 small and friendly dogs, we play outside for much of the day, and enjoy the nearby walking trail.
