Dog Sitting in Plainfield

“Sam is always on time, communicative, and ready to interact with Boss whether it is an attempted walk in this current heat, play time in the backyard, lick mat moments, or lots of pets & cuddles. We appreciate the love she gives Boss when we’re out for an extended period!”

About: Hi there! My name is Julie and I have been around dogs my whole life. I have had two dogs as pets (from puppies to adulthood) and have fostered several dogs (various ages) as well. I would love to get to know you and your four legged friends! I’m working in person during the week (7:30 am-4:30pm) but would be happy to help before or after work! During the weekends I am free all day for assistance. Since I have fostered many dogs, I am equipped for any size or age of dog. I will do my very best to make your pet feel loved and follow any guidelines you may have.

“Highly recommend! five stars ,very communicative and came promptly”

About: I have had pets of my own since I was 13! In college, I became a professional dog trainer for PetSmart and puppy raiser for The Seeing Eye puppy raising program. Not only have I cared for a household of my own four pets, but have pet and house sat for many of my family, friends, and coworkers! My hybrid schedule at work gives me the flexibility to care for pets on lunch breaks and weeknights after 5pm as well as unlimited time to spend with your fur babies on the weekends! At home, I have two friendly large dogs, as well as a fenced in yard for plenty of exercise. Constant supervision is the most important thing to me when caring for your fur babies!

About: I truly care about all animals’ physical needs as well as their mental health. They are animals, and we are also animals, we both got feelings. I’m available for most weekends and holidays to take care of your furry family when you are away. When boarding your dogs, I’m 24 hours home. I have a high crate, and I make sure the dogs are on leash when going out for a walk. Our complex is huge with a lot of grass where the residents love to have dogs living here. We are 10-mins away from beautiful parks where I took my dog over there all the time.

“I was impressed with Kim! From day one, the cats bonded with her, which is unusual, especially when meeting someone new. She went above and beyond doing what was asked, including crushing pills, giving them attention if they wanted it and opening the door so they could get some fresh air and sun through the screen. By the third day they were following her around the house. She's light on her feet and very patient with them. To add perspective, when my adult children come home, the cats hide, even though two of the cats grew up with the kids. Before the week was over, I had already booked her for several other times this summer!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of all breeds for many years. I will take care of your dog as if they were my own! I’ve been called the Dog Whisperer and the Best Dog Mom around! I am a retired school teacher, so I’m very flexible with my schedule. My time is my own which makes scheduling with an easy process. I can walk your dog, provide playtime & cuddle time, give feedings and or administer meds if needed. I will provide your dog with utmost care and safety.

About: I owned dogs during the beginning years of my life. Then i owned a rabbit for a bit. Now I am a cat mom. I also love snakes too. I have the weekend off and I really want something fun to do ony spare time. I am responsible and have tons of experience with animals. I love their energy. I live in a lower part of a building and I have only one door. So I will always have the door closed. I will have fences to protect each animal.

“Richie is great. I have booked his services a couple of times to visit our home to take care of our dog Pepper. Richie is reliable, and stays in communication by sending me photos and texts on each visit. Ensured Pepper was fed, had plenty of water, gave treats, and allergy medication. It gives us peace of mind that Pepper is well taken care of while we are away. Also, Richie brought in our mail and packages. If you're looking for someone to care for your furry family member, consider Richie.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life, and i’ve been caring for them almost as long! I regularly handle dogsitting needs within my family and I’m hoping to extend that help to others! I’m home all week and have plenty of time to care for animals! Several walks a day, regular meals, and healthy socialization can be offered around the clock My apartment building has a large backyard we all use to walk our dogs, if your dog likes meeting others they’ll make lots of friends! If not, there are private walkways for use too.

“Chelsea took amazing care of my cat. She made sure to follow the special instructions I left and took lots of cute photos of my girl. I also really appreciated the updates she gave me every day. Chelsea made me feel good about leaving my cat at home while I went on a trip. Thanks Chelsea!”

“Trisha went above and beyond so many times that we have invited her to come and visit. Her communication will is just the right touch. We will use her services again and again.”

About: I've been caring for small pets such as, Hamsters, Guinea-pigs and Fish (from goldfish, etc. to Oscars,etc.) from a very young age. Therein, for example, when I was still a little girl, my friend and neighbor could no longer care for their beloved, hamster, Andy; who did they think of... me ! So, Andy, the hamster was adopted and added to the fold. Next, Cats and Dogs. When my neighbor found a stray cat had given birth in their shed closet, again, who did they call?! I adopted one of the 3 kittens; adopting their sibling from the same liter soon after the first adoptee, was unable to care for it. I began caring for Angel and Geisha, my first two cats. Last but not least, Dogs... Cream was a white Pittie, whose owner, again, became unable to care for her so she lived with me and my 2 year old daughter at the time, and they loved each other dearly. After, finding Cream a permanent home, I had the honor of caring for other dogs for friends and neighbors even the homeless, from which I cared for Lulu, a pittie, living with her owner on the street. However, she received a healthy diet, vet care and patience, training to reverse some of the habits she developed living on the street. Now, although, I've cared for others such as Bamboo, the Pitbull, that seemed to take care of himself, lol and Karma, who needed a foster during the Covid pandemic; I'm entrusted with the care of my Pittie/German-Sheppard Gran-pet baby, Nasir aka Nas, while my daughter's in college. Nice enough, I still get to switch it up and care for the Cats (and small pets) of various friends and neighbors in my community. With that, I try o create a Pet-care Staycation like atmosphere when boarding or Home care while pet-parents are away and a Family like atmosphere for Fosters. I look forward to meeting your furry friends and four legged family members :) Pet care is not only therapeutic, it fits into my schedule perfectly, since I am a semi-retired administrative professional who suffered an untimely stroke at a young age. However. after an almost miraculous recovery, I'd like to move forward in a direction that nurtures my empathetic personality. Therein, leaving the desk behind, affording me with a more active lifestyle, all year round. As to that, my days generally consist of assisting my daughter with her dog, exercise, personal errands and volunteering a few hours a week. Although, I take pet care jobs occasionally, I'd like to "officially"extend my services to do something I love (I believe I'm good at it.) and rewarding because the pets (my clients) always seem to appreciate it. I have a fenced in yard and super friendly and silly, one year old fur gran-baby that would be happy to show a visiting canine "the ropes", lol. I can also crate and/or crate train your dog(s), when necessary. They will always have access to clean water; be walked consistently and fed on time and kept in a clean an organized space, whether at your home or mine. I make sure to follow pet parents care instructions. I send photos or video of fun moments to give insight as to how your pets are doing and cared for. I play, pet and communicate with each pet in their way to build trust, friendship and joy while their pet parents are away. In addition, I have had some dog training in the recent past and will have more dog training in the near future to help me care for our hairy pals compassionately and efficiently. [NOTE to Drop-in Clients: Please understand, Safety is a concern for Everyone; pet care givers, pet parents and pets. I work on a basis of professional Trust between all parties, including the pet party. All I can offer are my Referrals, my Word as a trusted professional and a background check conducted by Rover. I expect the same appropriate professionalism, trustworthiness and mutual respect from those who accept my Services. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.] I look forward to working with you. ;-)

“Carleigh was very puntual and thorough with her communication during her visits. My dog enjoyed her time with Carleigh. She was very professional and attentive to my dog. I will definitely recommend her to anyone needing her services. I appreciate her services and her time with my dog.”

About: Hi, my name is Gabby! I’ve had dogs since the age of 7 and they’ve been such a huge part of my life growing up. I currently watch my cousins dog (a pit rescue), which is a total handful, but I always give him back totally tuckered out and it’s hard to leave him. I also have my own dog named Louie, a terrier mix, also a rescue and he gets along great with other dogs. I can take your dog along nice trails or a good walk around the neighborhood. I’m home full-time and would love to have your pet stay with me! I can board them, come to you, or just stop in every now and then to make sure they’re doing ok!

Unlike other sitters, I cater to individual personalities, ensuring a happy and comfortable stay for your precious pup. My passion for animals is clear – their comfort and happiness are my top priorities. You can trust that with me, your furry friend is in loving hands.

My flexible schedule, combining graduate studies and part-time work, allows me to give your dog the dedicated attention they deserve throughout the day. Your pup will have a safe haven to explore in my fully fenced-in backyard! They'll have plenty of playtime with my four friendly, senior pups, who are both playful and cuddly companions. Plus, with no smoke or small children in the house, your furry friend can relax in a calm and peaceful environment. Knowing how important our furry friends are, I'm happy to send daily selfies and welcome your constant check-ins. After all, I understand how much you miss your dog, and I'd miss mine too!

About: I am a very experienced dogsitter. I owned a dogsitting business back in my home town Bloomington IL. You can totally trust me with your pet because I’m definitely someone who’s reliable and responsible. I do work full time M-F from 8am-5pm. Outside of these hours, I am flexible. Just message me, and we can chat about it! ☺️ I will carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner while providing a loving and fun environment for your beloved pet! 🐶 🐶 🐶 🐶
