Michelle was the best house and dog sitter we could have ever asked for. She was incredibly attentive and thorough in every aspect including before her stay with our dogs, during and after! She visited us ahead of time to get to know the boys and make sure we had all the details covered. She kept in contact us while we were away and sent photos and kept very extensive notes that were very helpful to read when we returned from our vacation. She is incredibly knowledgeable about training and different personalities in dogs and I would recommend her to anyone!!!!!! I could tell our boys loved having her and were looking for her for a day or two after she was gone. She’s a great lady and I would recommend her with 10 stars!!!!! She even kept up with the shedding and the house was immaculate! A great lady!!!

Debbie is fantastic with my dog, Ribsy. I think he likes her better than me. She is very attentive to him. She brushed a sweater's worth of fur off of him. She made changes in his diet when he wasn't feeling well. She kept me up to date with frequent photos and videos. She is a wonderful person and I highly recommend her for your pet.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for any type of pet since 2016 as well as pets of varying ages. I have experience with babies under 1 and senior pets as well. I can also administer medication to pets if need be as I have had to do so before for previous clients. At the moment I only do pet sitting while searching for a job and I have classes but they are all online so I am free any time and day. I follow any rules or routines from the homeowner, as well as basic cleaning such as dishes, vacuuming, and general cleaning after the pets in my care. Cleaned and walking and any other things your pet needs I can take care of.

Amber was able to watch my two dogs at my home with very short notice. She was very responsive, kind, and easy to work with. I came home to two happy pups after a weekend away and will definitely be using her again in the future.

There are no words strong enough to describe how grateful I am for Lashay. She didn’t just watch my dog Juno — she loved him like her own. From the moment they met, I could see the patience, warmth, and genuine care Lashay brings to everything she does. Juno isn’t the easiest dog. He’s big, emotional, and full of personality. But Lashay showed incredible calm and understanding, meeting him with kindness every step of the way. She gave me thoughtful updates, photos, and messages that made me feel completely at ease — and honestly, a little jealous because he looked so happy. But it didn’t stop there. Lashay took care of my cat too — with just as much love and attention. I’m not sure how she balances so much with such grace, but I do know this: my animals were in the best hands possible. If you’re lucky enough to have Lashay care for your pets, take it. She is one of a kind. Loving. Professional. Communicative. And above all, trustworthy. Juno and I are forever thankful.

About: I have had the joy of being surrounded by pets my entire life. I have been caring for my own pets (family pets included) and also my friends pets. I have pet sit for my parents cats and I have also pet sit for my friends goats and chickens on many different occasions. I have also had the pleasure of taking my friends dogs on multiple walks. I enjoy every minute I am surrounded by animals of many different shapes and sizes. I currently work from home and have the opportunity to have an open schedule during the week. I am available Monday through Friday from 6am - 10pm. Please make appointments at least a day in advance and cancel three days before scheduled appointment, if need be. I provide the best care for every and any animal I come across. For my own cats specifically, I make sure that they have access to fresh water and dry food daily. I also feed them wet food with the cleanest ingredients, 3 times a day. I also make sure to scoop their litter box multiple times a day and change it out every other day. I will transfer this personal experience of mine to your pets by providing them with the best care while also respecting my clients rules and wishes.

Jax was extremely thorough in caring for my 3 cats and 1 pitbull mix. He cleaned their ears, clipped claws, and brushed my fur babies. He sent me plenty of photos of the pets and kept me well-informed all day. I can read people well and when I met him I knew he was the one to petsit over other candidates because he communicates well and he has integrity.

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since i started volunteering at the animal hospital in freeport il. I started doing that when i was ten years old. I have attended just under two years of schooling towards being a zoologist in the past as well. I started fostering with my grandma when i was 14, and I have successfully adopted out 12 pit bulls that would have been put to sleep :) I have pet sit since i was old enough to babysit kids, my grandparents on my dads side were missionaries and would always have me take care of their three cats Lucy,linus, and peanut. I have also helped Noah's ark and Winnebago country with fostering off and on for many years (20 ). I look forward to snuggling your pooch! I work for myself, and can usually be be available almost anytime you need me to be. I am a very responsible and responsive person. I have a fenced yard, harnessed leads and two smooshy olde English bulldogs to keep your fur baby company. I also have cats they can play with , my cats aren't scared of dogs.

Melanie did a great job with our pups! She even took them to their grooming appointment for us. My dogs can be shy at first but they warmed up to Melanie quickly. Thank you so much!
