About: I am a 5 year experienced veterinary technician who has worked primarily with small animals in multiple practices across the United States. I am currently enrolled in veterinary medical school pursuing my doctorate at UIUC in their college of veterinary medicine. In addition, I am a life-long pet owner myself! I grew up with dogs in a variety of sizes, as well as cats. As a veterinary student, I have classes in the morning and sometimes afternoon. This should not be a concern as I still have plenty of time to watch pets! We have multiple breaks through the day and I own a car. Classes never extend past 4:00 pm. So, I can travel to your pet and am fully open in evenings for long walks! I care for pets in the owners home! As a veterinary student, I am living in an apartment which is not always the appropriate place for watching certain large-sized dogs. I also have a cat of my own who is terrified of dogs!

“I had a great experience with this dog walker! They were incredibly kind and patient with my senior dog Max, who’s 11 years old and moves at his own pace. It was clear they really cared—after the walk, they made sure Max had water and was comfortable before leaving. I really appreciate the extra attention to detail and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and gentle with older dogs.”

About: I strongly believe that our furry loved ones deserve the upmost care while we're away. This can be fostered through a variety of pet sitting services, but for me, I love to help out by offering drop-in visits and in-home sitting. I've been pet sitting for over 6 years, and I've had cats and dogs my entire life (currently 4 cats and 2 dogs)! Taking care of animals is one of my passions, and I’m grateful I’ve had the opportunity to further develop it through pet sitting. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! Hope to see a message from you soon! 😁🐶🐱 Facebook Pet Sitting Page- Emma F's Pet Sitting I am attending college and have a part-time job, but I have many breaks during the day and look forward to making time for pet sitting. I pride myself in doing the best work possible to ensure an animal’s safety and comfortability in their own home. I stay in contact with pet parents and ask questions as they arise to make sure their furry friends are doing well.

About: I have been taking care of all kinds of animals for the past few years now. Starting with my own puppy at 8 weeks old to pet sitting 15 year old dogs. And all ages in between. I have also pet sit cats of all ages before. When I come home from college during my breaks my schedule is completely open so I have plenty of time to walk, play and care for your animals! I spoil my pets at home so they get lots of love and attention. Many walks outside as well as playing fetch! At clients homes I try to spend quality time with animal making sure they are comfortable and have everything they need before I leave.

“Masha is a great dog walker. Great with humans (reliable, punctual, and polite) and great with dogs (affectionate, and conscious of their needs, but firm when necessary). She walked my daughter’s dog for a month, while my daughter was recovering from a car crash. We would definitely call her again.”

“Abigail is very sweet and made the process easy with fast and consistent communication. My dogs took to her immediately during the meet and great and she has since taken my dogs on walks. Will definitely use her again.”

About: Raised on a cattle farm in Texas, I’ve taken care of a multitude of animals. Cows, horses, rabbits, dogs, and cats. I believe respect is the number one aspect when caring for our friends. Through my experiences I’ve learned to read and understand animals to make sure they are always as comfortable and happy as can be. I love listening to them and giving them the best care, no animal who crosses my path will ever be misunderstood. Pet care is already engrained into my daily life, it would be a blessing to help. Meeting your best friends will bring a light to my day. With three cats, they all get equal but enormous servings of love. Supervised time on the patio, lots of play time, exercise and snuggles. I like to create an enrichment activity for them every other day to keep things interesting. My orange tabby gets his inhaler twice a day, morning and night. All cats get a dry breakfast, and then a wet dinner. Brushes and litter changes daily!

About: I have had all kinds of pets since I was a kid. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, hamsters and bunnies. I see them as the family members. I’m currently working part time, so I am very flexible. I can do drop-in visits of 30min or more. I can work around your schedule. Im leaving in an apartment with my two lovely cats. I will be happy to do drop-in visits at your place for the safety of everyone.

About: I have one year of experience caring for two domestic shorthair cats. I handled daily feeding, litter box maintenance, grooming, and playtime. I’m attentive to their individual personalities and needs, and I make sure they feel comfortable and safe at all times. I’m confident in administering basic care routines and providing a calm, enriching environment. I’ve just graduated from UCI and am currently preparing for my real estate salesperson and mortgage loan originator exams. This gives me a flexible schedule, especially on weekdays after 2 PM and weekends. I have plenty of time and energy to give your pets the love and care they need! I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment where your pet will feel safe and cared for. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I follow your instructions closely and pay attention to each pet’s unique personality and needs.

“Esther was responsive, thoughtful, and easy to work with. She was punctual and respectful in our home. Most importantly, she was great with my puppy, Ruby. She will be my go-to walker when Ruby needs dog walks in the future.”

About: One of my earliest memories was at the age of five. My mom brought my sister home from the hospital after she was born and I asked, "Can we have a kitten instead?!" Our parents started us with goldfish like most do. We then graduated to hamsters, followed by kittens. Currently, I have two dogs of my own that I consider to be my fur babies. Our pets can be much like our children, so I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to provide the care your animals need. My experience with animals comes from having my own as well as taking care of friends and family members pets as well. I love animals so much, I paint them on canvas as another passion of mine. I am looking forward to caring for your pet and providing whatever special needs they may have in order to make you and your animal feel comfortable while you are away. I work from home as an Artist so my schedule is flexible in between appointments outside of the home. I am unavailable Tuesday nights after 5pm. Looking forward to do whatever I need to stick to your pet's routine to keep them stress free, happy and healthy. Whether they enjoy long walks, active play or just snuggles and pets I would love to accommodate whatever their needs may be.

About: I feel comfortable with dogs of any size, breed, or age. I am glad to follow any special instructions you give and do my best to keep your pets safe and as comfy as possible. I like to communicate or send pics while you're away so you can feel assured your pets are being well cared for. I have fostered many dogs (and adopted a few), so have experience with an array of personalities. I'm looking forward to meeting your pet family too. I work from 8 to 4:30 or 5, weekdays. Im happy to attend to your pets before and after work, in the evening and overnight, lunch breaks as well if needed. I prefer to "sitt" in your home in order to help keep them as comfy and on the same routine as possible. I believe in following the care instructions of the parents to a tee.
