House Sitting in Ransom

“Can't thank her enough for being able to watch my Lolita at the last minute. She was a happy dog when I got home and I had piece of mind knowing Lolita had company all day!”

“Rachel did a great job. She was very responsive, responsible, and very caring and attentive to our Chloe’s needs. Chloe is a 17.5 year old Bichon with sensory deficits. The age and deficits put her in a ‘higher than normal’ category to care for. Rachel exceeded our expectations. This was our first experience with Rover and we couldn’t be happier with our dog sitter. We would highly recommend her. Thank you Rachel. Tom & Mary Jo Ahearn”

About: I adore being around animals and have had many years pf practice with taking care of friends pets. We have also always had pets in our family growing up. I work part time as a wedding photographer so Im usually very flexible with my schedule especially during the week. I also enjoy walking so Im also available for that. I will only walk outside with your pet if they have a leash or a fenced protected area. I won't them alone anytime. I will provide patience and love to them as if they were my own.

“After a previous bad experience with a pet sitter, we are picky about who we ask to care for our fur babies. Nothing to fear with Alayna, who has been one of the best pet sitters we’ve ever had!! She’s been communicative with us, sends updates and photos every day, and I can tell my pets absolutely love her (even my independent old dog has warmed up to her!). We are so thrilled to have connected with someone who clearly takes pride in her work in caring for pets. Will definitely be using her for all our sitting needs.”

About: Back and better than ever! To my regulars who stuck with me through life changes, I thank you. And to my new clients, welcome! Single motherhood has been an adjustment but I still make time for my furry, feathered and scaled favorites! Availability is quite random at the moment, but I will do my best to accommodate. For those new to my profile I have cared for dogs both big and small (I adore big dogs. Give me all the mastiffs, cane corso, boxers..) cats, rabbits and even turtles! Happy to work with all temperaments and I’m not one to shudder at a big bark. Currently doing this simply as an extra side hustle on top of another job! I was formerly a stay at home mom and I am now making the transition to single motherhood and this is flexibility is what will allow me to provide while caring for my son. My availability is a bit more random than most. I can walk, feed, water, crate and let a dog in and out of the home into the yard as needed! Whatever works best for you and your pet.

About: Pet owner for 10+ years Used to farm animals and herding breed dogs! When I was a kid I would walk dogs for our local shelter, handling all kinds of dogs of different sizes and temperaments. I can provide 24/7 attentive care for your pet! I am only home for evenings on Tuesday and Wednesday but my Fiancé is home during the daytime :) I have a very large fenced in yard for your dogs to run and play! My dog Guppy can play with your pet or be kept separate. I can feed your dog in the crate if necessary. Dogs are allowed on the couch as long as they are potty trained. We do have a cat in the home, who can be separated to a different area of the house if necessary.

About: My passion for dogs has been with me since a very young age. As a child, my dream was to be a vet because of my passion and love for animals. I have 20 years of service, and my approach to caring for my dogs at home has always been holistic and natural. I've reversed my dog's diagnosed disease naturally and have saved his life naturally when vets have told me to put my dog to sleep. I'm thorough with my dogs’ routine, medication, diet, and cleaning eating. That makes me highly prepared for the dogs I tend to. Fun fact: My family and I own 17 pets! Usually, when everyone goes on a family trip, I'm the caregiver for all our pets at once. Hopefully, the background I give of my experience gives you peace in choosing me to watch your babies 🐩🐶🐕 I do freelance work; it's my main source of income. Therefore, it’s easy to create my own schedule and very flexible days and hours. It will be easier for you to book with me as I strive to work with your schedule and needs effortlessly Personally, with my own dog, I'm highly attentive. Even though we have a backyard, I strongly believe in always being present and attentive when taking your dog out to potty. Even in your own backyard! Anytime they are outside, I will be present. I also think it’s important to interact and be present regularly with them; they need attention and love, too. I make sure to spend time with my dog when I come home and make time to play, cuddle, and show him affection . Also, it's important for me to take him out of the house. Even if it's a short walk, cruising in the car to pick up errands or food. It's important for them to explore and experience different environments.

About: Hello! I have had dogs since I was 12 years old, I currently own a diverse set of dogs. 3 heelers and 1 GSD, I have extensive training in dog handling and own a Mobile pet nail trimming buisness! I work Full Time from home- I am able to watch dogs from my home or watch them from yours. I am able to drop in when needed. I take pride in my attentiveness, dedication and love for animals. My knowledge is extensive in training, handling, pet care and much more. I can administer all Medications, I am pet CPR certified and I’ve owned a various breed of dogs over my life time.

About: I have had pets since I was a kid, and all through my life I have had some sort of animal. Big or small, I have tons of experience with all kinds. Now, I have 14 fur/feather/scale babies of my own and I am going to IVCC to getting my associates in science and majoring in wildlife bio. I am out of school for the summer and looking for anything really. Full time or part time. And any time of the night or day is fine with me. I have 14 pets, no dogs or cats, but I did have plenty of them growing up. Right now we have 6 birds, three different kinds, ((3 of them are house ducks)) a snake and the rest are smaller animals rabbit, piggy's, ferret etc. The rabbit is free roam, the birds and other animals all have their own free roam/fly time. Our house is on a set schedule as soon as the sun peeks through, lol, the ducks let us know, it's time to get the day started. Due to us having this many kiddos, we do plan long days ahead of time so everything is adjusted properly so everyone is taken care of. I am no stranger to getting dirty or dealing with any type of mess. Depending on the weather, we are outside as much as possible with a number of them and always trying to find new ways to keep their little minds engaged.

About: I was raised as a dog lover. We always had dogs in the house growing up and often took in stays to care for them. I am 100% against animal cruelty. I am a stay at home mom with much free time so my hours are flexible to care for you and the needs of your pup. I have a large front and backyard to roam in. My house dogs often go out to play or sun bath, however there is no fence.

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!

“Leo was a perfect sitter. Great with communication and the house was cleaner than when we left. The dogs loved him and I would book again without hesitation. Thank Leo”

“Taryn did great! My boys took well to her and even got a photo of my Milo snuggling up with her on the couch.”

“Alyssa made sure our dogs, and our home were well cared for. We received updates and photos a couple times a day. She was diligent about keeping our dogs' normal routines. We know they were excited for her to be here by the way they greeted her on arrival. I will be booking Alyssa again soon, so that we can relax and enjoy our time away, knowing our pets are in good hands.”

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats, all of my life. I was a police officer and Sheriff for 32 years. I’ve dealt with most all animals. I love them all!! I’m currently a retired sheriff. I work part time for American Airlines about 20 hours per week in Bloomington, and working on a license to sell real estate as a part-time job in Livingston County. And I have been a police officer, since I was 18 years old. I am very trustworthy and honest. I’ve grown up around many types of animals and feel comfortable around them.

About: I've been taken care of animals since I was 8 years old, a few dogs and one cat.. I love animals, domestic and wild. Whether its feeding, companionship, walking, bathing, or treat time, I got you! I'm here because I have a passion for helping others, furry and all. I currently have an open schedule and I walk 4 to 5 times a week, 4 to 6 miles, so a walking partner would be greatly appreciated. I will treat your animals as if they are my own! I currently can't board in home. Any rules or schedule you provide, I will follow.

About: I have always had a special connection with animals, dogs especially, and grown up being called an animal whisper. Ive had dogs of all ages my whole life. I have experience with puppies, adults and senior dog care. Currently learning more and more about training dogs and using thoes techniques on my husky mix. Im all for giving your furry friends the care they deserve❤️I dont have any cats! I am currently working at an Assisted Living and Memory Care Facility in Yorkville and my shift is 6am-2pm. My schedule changes every other week. Although my boyfriend works the 3pm-11pm shift so someone is home most of the time. I am not totally free but I would be willing to work something out! My house has a front and back yard-not too big. We use a tie out for our dog and we have a few extras if needed for your dog! Me and my boyfriend live in a two bedroom duplex. Most areas of the house is dog proofed and we have plenty of toys for both to play with. My dog does really good with other dogs and loves to have company and a friend to play with. He is still younger so he can be hyper at first but will eventually calm down:)

About: My pet care experience consists of having a dog throughout my childhood and adult years. I've always loved the companionship of owning a dog and also visiting or babysitting families and friends' dogs/cats. With having a dog comes a lot of responsibility and attention whether that's feeding, letting outside, physical activity, and training. I'm experienced in all of those qualities. The pet care that I will be using through the new dogs and cats I meet are the basics of giving treats, going for walks, and playing fetch or ball. Those basics are important and useful for dog caregivers because any dog would love the attention and care that you are giving them unconditionally. I'm also experienced in grooming with bathing the pet if needed. Whether that's outside with a hose and soap or inside in a bathtub. Dogs are my best friends and should be treated with love and companionship therefore I would treat the dog and make sure they are happy and comfortable but also safe and calm at all times. My schedule is very flexible and in the case of babysitting or walking a dog, I will be attentive and responsible. Since I currently have a dog at home I take her outside frequently, stay outside with her and walk around the backyard or throw a toy and play fetch or even just sit in the grass and give her belly rubs. My daily routine consists of letting my dog outside and hanging out with her off and on while also letting her have time to rest and chill by herself. My weekly routine is the same as my daily routine aside from additional car rides, pup cups, or cousin visits with other dogs. The safety, trust & Environment of the care for the pet in my home and or my client's home will consist of making sure all doors are shut when entering and exiting the home or garage. Also making sure the dog is on a leash and well equipped when walking through a neighborhood. I also have a fenced-in yard so I'm experienced with fences and the proper precautions if needed. I can easily create your dog too if needed. Also water supply and refilling the water bowl as needed and giving supplements or medicine also. Also will have the clients contact information in case of emergency.

About: I have had a variety of experiences petsitting for friends and family. I have also had my own pets for my whole life. Comfortable with all breeds and sizes. I have cared for seniors - both dogs and cats. I am retired after 40 years of teaching. I have a very flexible schedule. Available anytime of the day or week. Available single or multiple days. I will follow whatever practices you use for the safety of your pets. You can trust me to take good care of your pets. Very responsible.

“Wonderful job taking care of my girls. What an absolute gem for me and the fur babies. Thanks alot Julie!!!!”
