About: I have had pets all my life (over 40 years), dogs, cats, birds, fish, etc. I’ve trained my pets with proper obedience. I can administer medication if needed. I’ve taken care of many pets for family and friends. My daughter is a pet groomer and can provide extra hygiene care if requested. I’m currently working from home, I am available to give attention to your pet throughout the day. I am available to care for your pet(s) any hours on the weekends & holidays. I have two fur babies at home Gus & Penelope that love to play and cuddle with new friends. We love to take walks throughout the day. If your pet has special needs or is crate trained I will accommodate your daily routine. My pets are family members and can roam the house freely, I will treat your pet the same if in my home. If at your home your pet will be loved and taken care of!

About: I love caring for all the pets! I have 2 dogs at home that are truly my family. They bring so much joy! I am a Nurse Practitioner with flexibility in my schedule that I would love to fill with time getting to know and care for your furry family members! I am a Nurse Practitioner with flexibility in my schedule to be able to care for your pets! I would be happy to help any way I can!

About: I have had pets my whole life! I have experience with cats, dogs, horses, chickens, fish, frogs, turtles, and small furry critters such as hamsters and rabbits. I Have cared for new born puppies and kittens when the mother was not able and elderly pets that need a little extra love. Pets that are very energetic or relaxed. Pets that are having a hard time medically and need fluids or pain medications. I have cared for wounded animals and healthy ones. I'm available most days during work hours. When your fur baby needs love and care during the day while you are away I can be there for pets, walks, snacks, medications, a simple check in and more. Every animal is it's own self and all need different care. When pet sitting while friends or family are at work or on trips I always make sure the pet has a good long session of play, affection, walk or forms of exercise, clean and full water and food dishes. Check for any accidents that need cleaned up or litter boxes that need tending. Then always be sure to double check the yard and home locks are secure before leaving.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities for over 15 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m attentive, patient, and great at reading animal behavior, whether that means giving energetic dogs plenty of exercise or providing calm, gentle care for seniors or anxious pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work part-time and set my own schedule, which allows me to be very flexible and accommodating to my clients’ needs. I’m able to adjust my availability for walks, drop-ins, or extended care, including weekdays and weekends, and I prioritize clear communication to ensure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I have a fenced-in yard and prioritize a calm, safe environment for all pets in my care. I have two cats who are kept comfortably separated with their own space when dogs are visiting, as I understand transitions can be challenging. I’m very mindful of introductions, happy to crate dogs if needed, and always follow owner preferences and routines to ensure pets feel secure and well cared for.

“Lyndee is awesome! She’s walked Beans a few times and is always timely, sends photos and makes sure he’s well taken care of. I will definitely book again!”

While I would be in and out during the day I have more than enough time to give your dog adequate exercise and attention. We have a fenced in backyard to let the dog run around and be outside throughout the day. Simultaneously enjoy taking our dog on daily walks or outdoor adventure to a nearby park or path on the weekends for extra exercise and socialization. Our dog has free roam of the house and is able to be on the furniture as he pleases.

About: I have had pets my entire life and love all kinds! I had to put my senior dog down recently and I miss having a buddy to walk with every morning, over lunch and in the evenings. Although I'm not ready to get another dog of my own, I would love to treat your best friend as my own. I work in an office full-time with a flexible schedule and walk in Washington Park over lunch every day - even in the snow! I can stop by for a care visit or a walk early in the mornings before work, over lunch and in the evenings. I have had many senior dogs and currently have 2 cats.

About: I have volunteered at the Animal Protective League for many summers, so I have lots of experience with cats/kittens, puppies, and dogs big and small.

From friends to family, they have trusted and relied on me to take great care of their furry friends! My schedule is flexible to your pet needs. Throughout the school week I find time to spend with your furry friends and mine. On weekends I get up early and have ample amounts of time to check in, or walk your pets when needed! I have a large fenced yard, with my very friendly dog Lexi. She can roam, and use the restroom freely (since I pooper-scoop my yard daily), and she has lots of room to play. If your dog needs to be put in or taken out of a crate, I can do that. My main goal is that the pets are safe, loved, and keep their tails wagging!

My house has a small backyard and I am also available to do drop ins at the dogs own home. The area is very quiet and would be comfortable for another dog to be in.

About: I’ve worked at a dog daycare/ kennel for a few months but then left because I became a physical therapist assistant. I absolutely love dogs, but not ready for my own right now financially so I figured I could take care and spoil other peoples dogs while I wait until I’m ready!! I’ve had my childhood dog for 16 amazing years and I have dog sat for a few people already! I will watch my sisters dogs when needed which she has a Newfoundland (who is obsessed with me) and a chihuahua. I have dog sat for my boss before as well. Your dog will be in great hands with me and will get lots of playtime and snuggles!! I am usually free on the weekends only, since I do work an 8-5 job, so the week days do not work the best overall for boarding or dog daycare. but if you need someone to walk your dog after 5 or a drop in visit during the week on my lunch breaks and after 5 as well, I am able to do that! My apartment has a fenced in area for dogs to play and roam. My apartment complex is very dog friendly and has a good neighborhood to go on a walks with your dog. Dogs are allowed on my furniture and in the bed for bedtime snuggles!!

About: I’ve taken care of up to three dogs at one time for multiple weeks. I’ve watched many breeds, and try to change my approach to each animal. I work full time with an hour lunch, so I’m pretty flexible with being able to keep up with your pets! Typically my weekends are pretty open. I like to get your pet’s favorite activities to keep them busy and entertained! I’d love to get details on your day-to-day habits to make sure there is as little disruption to your pet’s routine as possible.
