About: I’ve taken care of dogs every kind for as long as I can remember weather it was for my parents, friends and neighbors. They have trusted in me to make sure they being taken care of I’m currently a stay at home mom and have plenty of time on my hands to care for your fur babies and I’ve also grown up my whole life with animals in my house I have a fenced in yard and and a 6 month old puppy that will keep your fur baby company. I love to play with fur babies

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. I have predominantly had dogs and cats. I treat all animals with the utmost love and care. I have had pets through full life cycle so I understand the varying needs based on age. I currently work full time but am off Friday through Sunday so looking for people that need weekend help. I would also be a le to do some evenings during the week. I have a fenced yard and work from home so my dogs are well taken care of. I have the ability to watch, play with, walk and feed animals in your home. I would gladly follow any routine and instructions you have.

About: I bring a unique blend of patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals that helps me quickly build trust with both pets and their people. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs whether that means keeping a playful pup busy or making sure a senior dog feels safe and comfortable. Here’s a bit about my experience: • Puppy care, leash walking, and reinforcing basic commands • Senior dogs, with gentle handling, slower-paced walks, and medication routines • Special needs pets, providing calm, detail-oriented care • Administering medications (oral, topical, and injectable) • Multi-pet households, managing dynamics so everyone gets love and attention I always prioritize communication I’ll send regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I truly treat every animal as if they were my own, creating a calm and loving environment while you’re away. I’m planning to transition out of my hourly job and become a full-time sitter while in school. Balancing classes and work can be a lot, but pet care has always been something that brings me joy and helps me decompress. I carefully plan my schedule to make sure I’m fully present and attentive with every pet I care for. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I’m committed to providing consistent, loving, and reliable care that fits both your pet’s needs and my routine. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and engaging environment that matches each pet’s routine and comfort level. In my home, I keep things clean, pet-proofed, and stocked with toys, cozy spaces, and outdoor access for breaks and playtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific habits or routines. I make sure pets feel secure and loved, whether they’re in familiar surroundings or visiting mine.

About: I’ve always grown up around dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and etc. A dog is more than just an animal, they are a part of the family. Im a dental assistant and love helping people achieve the confidence to smile again. Im 22 years old and still live with my parents so this is a great side hustle to save money to move out eventually. At home we have a basset hound named Maggie that’s three years old, an Australian Shepard named Ranger that is also three years old, a Yorkie Shih Tzu named Trixie that is about 15 years old (yeah I know she’s basically deaf and blind but old girl is still kicking it), and then two cats that we rescued on the side of the road named Stormi & Klondike! I also have chickens & ducks! Let me dogsit your fur baby 🥰 I’m currently working at a private dental office located in Staunton, IL Monday-Thursday. Usually when I dog sit for a family friend or just anyone in general I stay at their house with the dog(s) so they feel comfortable in their own environment. My work hours are as followed; Monday & Thursday: 7-4pm (lunch 12-1pm) Tuesday 8-6pm (lunch 1-2 or 2-3pm) and Wednesday 7-1pm. I am a reliable and a caring person to watch your fur babies! I usually stay at the clients house so the pet is in a familiar environment and won’t get over stimulated. Every dog is different and so I usually meet the clients and/or the dog(s) so they are somewhat familiar with me and aren’t frightened by a stranger while their loved ones are away.

And if you knew me on a personal level you would know I’m always able to work around even the busiest schedule if needed! I’m always able to fit in the perfect amount of time to care for your pets and will make sure they are happy and their needs are fulfilled but they are also ready for a nap when I leave ;) I have experience with all animals and dogs of all breeds and sizes! So you can trust that I am a good fit and am able to handle your pet(s) no matter what size or breed they are!

About: Hi! My name is Meghan. I have 6 years of experience in caring for over sixteen animals at one time, including cats, dogs, and larger four-legged animals. Care included administering medication, feeding, monitoring the health of all animals, ensuring all animals received adequate daily exercise, and overnight house sitting. I also have experience in caring for dogs and cats of family and friends. I'm currently working part-time so my schedule is fairly flexible. On the days that I work, I am available after either 11:45 or 3:05, depending on whether I work a half day or a full day. My weekend availability will vary depending on my schedule. Prior to providing care for your pet, I feel it is important to meet with you to understand your pet's behavior, needs, and any specific concerns you may have. I will make sure your pet receives plenty of love and affection, play time, and rest time.
