About: Hi, I’m Sabrina! I have over 7 years of experience with animals, including time in vet clinics, zoos, and dog daycares. I also did vet assisting for 7 years. I now focus on training, pet sitting, and spending time with animals full-time. I train my Cane Corso in various dog sports using a fair and positive balanced training approach that builds trust, structure, and confidence. I also have chickens, a cat, and a snake — so I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets! Your animals will be safe, loved, and well-cared for with me. I treat every pet like my own and believe play and connection are just as important as routine care. Let me know how I can help! I care for my animals daily—feeding my chickens, handling my snake, and cuddling my cat. I train and do dog sports with my two dogs every day, keeping them active and happy outdoors. I bring the same love, routine, and attention to every pet I care for. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. I have a laid-back Cane Corso and a young, energetic hunting prospect GSP, so I’m experienced balancing calm time with fun, engaging activities like scent work. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, providing gentle attention, plenty of exercise, and a secure environment where they feel safe and loved.

About: I've raised pets (dogs and cats) for most of my adult life and would love to care for yours while you're away! With me, your precious furry family members will get the love and care they deserve, and I'll stay in frequent contact with (texts/calls/pics) you about their care. I've been away or on vacation and employed pet sitters in the past, and I know how reassuring that frequent communication is! I am retired and have no strict obligations that would keep me from sticking to any care schedule you need. Over the course of my work life, I've adapted to about every time and day schedule possible - weekends/late nights/early mornings are no problem! I have a reliable two-year old car, and am very experienced using any modern technology necessary if anything unexpected happened (Google Maps/Hailing an Uber/Anything smartphone related, etc) I understand how important it is to meet your expectations regarding the care of your animals and I will do whatever it takes, and I will treat your home with the utmost respect.

“My dogs love Erica. She is punctual and very friendly. I definitely will recommend her to others.”

About: I have always been involved with pet care since I was a kid. I have twelve years on a farm, eight years at Chicago k9 Rescue, and six years with Spizziri Reptile Rescue. With my years of experience I have administered medications, changed bandages, fed premature pets around the clock, cut nails for cats and pups, bathed them when needed, etc. I also really enjoy building trust with the ones who struggle trusting. I also have knowledge with basic training for resource guarding, potty training, and recall. This fits perfectly with my schedule and allows me to have flexibility. I currently have an open schedule until my school semester starts up again in mid October. There is no one answer for this. I believe this changes depending on pet type, breed, age, health, etc. I will make sure I communicate effectively with each client. Make sure I keep detailed notes for each. I am extremely proactive, so I make sure I cover all my bases when it comes to safety and trust. I will do everything I would want to be done with my babies.

About: Hi, my name is Lindsey! I have been around dogs ever since I was a little girl, but have been caring for animals on my own since I was 16. Dogs are surely my passion as I hope to open up a dog daycare or boarding facility some day. I posses skills I’ve learned working at an animal shelter with lost or abandoned animals, as a doggie daycare manager, and also a boarding center handler. My past experiences allow me to be able to provide each animal I come across with the care they deserve. I believe animals make us better people and I would love to meet you and your fur children! I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I’m not currently working, so my full time job would be caring for your pet! When it comes to looking after other pet parents’ animals, my skills are heavily reliant on my keen sense of observation. I will always notice behaviors before they are about to happen (ex: potty accidents, gagging, getting into something they shouldn’t) because of my experience reading dogs and their body language.

About: I have run my own business Holliewood Doo Doo Adventures for 10 years (here in Facebook..check me out). Started out as waste pick up and branched out from there as I got older and it provided flexibility with schedules Also myself and my family have worked with ABRA, Inc Rescue to help foster 3 Dogs to help give them love and Discipline and skills to be able to be adopted out. I enjoy providing the Love, Patience, Time needed for each animal as every personality and needs are different. Also, knowing that they are a part of our families and to help soothe them in the transition as well as fur parents when they need to leave Currently I am a College student and this fits into my schedule well and I have flexibility and that's why I love it. I am now off for the Summer and even though I go back in the fall I work around my online classes. I have 2 dogs of our own and a cat. Realizing they have individual needs and they love the safe space of their own home it is important to me to provide that care that you specifically may need for them. You know this and I have so many that suffer from Anxiety or Seniors that do better in their own homes. That is what I am here for...whether they require so many walks per day or snuggles or play time

“Another nice and fun walk with Luigi. Tks Samantha”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. For senior dogs, I provide gentle walks, monitor health, and administer medications as needed. For adult dogs, I focus on maintaining a healthy routine with regular exercise and balanced care. With puppies, I emphasize training, socialization, and positive reinforcement. I tailor walks and activities to each dog's age and energy level, and manage medications with care. My approach is always compassionate, ensuring the well-being of dogs at every stage of life. Doing pet care as a sitter helps my schedule by offering flexible hours, structured tasks, and steady income, while improving my time management and responsibility. As a pet sitter, I prioritize safety, trust, and a positive environment by ensuring pets are cared for, following routines, maintaining clear communication, and providing a secure space.

About: Hi I'm Clarissa! I have a lot of experience with pets, both growing up with dogs and choosing cats as an adult. I have experience with disabled animals, as I often adopt special cats- currently I have a kitten who is blind and previously two cats who could not walk ♥️ My weekly routine can work around yours! I can usually be pretty flexible with your needs, especially now that summer is coming around! Looking forward to seeing how we can work together! I have two cats and treat them like members of my family. They are spoiled with love, treated with compassion, and cared for like they're my own children.
