House Sitting in Shipman

About: I’ve been caring for all my own dogs 40 years, all my grand puppies and friends dogs for over 12 years I love them all I’m retired and mostly have any day or night of the week open. I do house sitting in your home. And will do check in I will stay overnight with pets at your home. I find it creates less stress for the pets not to move them from there home

“Lesley was wonderful, caring & thoughtful. I could write a book on all her positive attributes but take it from us, she's a gem! Our pup adores her too & that's the crucial aspect!! We'll definitely be booking Lesley!”

About: I am good with cats, dogs and guinea pigs. I can clean out litter boxes, change bedding for guinea pigs and also have extensive experience in caring for a guinea pig's special needs. I’m currently working Mon-Thurs from 8:15am-4:30pm and Friday from 8:15am-12:30pm and I get an hour lunch! So if you ever need me to check in on your fur babies, I can do that! And I can still stay overnight if needed! I will follow instructions how to care for your animals in your home. This can include baths, walks, potty breaks, play time and feeding times.

“If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would! Gabbi was amazing! She was so good with our pups and kept us updated throughout the weekend. Our house was spotless when we got home as well. Will most definitely be booking with her again! ☺️”

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.

About: I've had pets around me since I was a baby. I had dogs growing up, and I've been around them ever since. I've been around 20 pound dogs, to 120 pound dogs, nothing is too much or too little for me. Currently I don't have a job, but I am just looking around at dog walking agin. I am supposed to go into the service in about a month, so im trying to make some extra money before I ship off! In my house, I have a fenced in yard, that keeps my pitbull safe, and happy. I would love to be in someone’s house where they have a fenced in yard, but I know that’s not ideal for everyone. If they don’t that’s perfectly fine, we just take the fur baby out in a leash to be outside then!

About: I like to take care of dogs. I take care of my cousins dogs I only really prefer to take care of dogs. Labrado retrieves I can let dogs out before work. After work and I can stay all night. I can house sit and dog sit on weekends. Too. I trust my cousins gps collars and their fence. I prefer to watch dogs at your home not mine but will do whatever is better

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up. I frequently took care of neighbors or family friends animals while they were on trips. I have 1 cat and 1 dog. I work in the social services industry so patience is something I specialize in😂 My dog is deaf and had very little training when me and husband rescued him. Now, he is amazing and our daughter loves him. My daughter loves animals of all kinds so we would love to meet any fur babies we can😊 I work full time during the day, Monday through Friday. I frequently go home for lunch to care of my own animals and evenings I am home. I have an open yard with lots of space for running. I have a dog and cat that are good with other animals and children.

“Abigail took care of our 6 year old dog, who is recovering from knee surgery, and our 8 month old puppy for a day. She really helped me out, and I am grateful she was able to accommodate my schedule changes. Thanks, Abigail.”

“Madison was an excellent sitter and cared for my pets like they were her own! She is very professional, has excellent communication, and asked detailed questions to ensure everything was covered. Madison played fetch with them and gave them cuddles and checked on them during her work lunch breaks. Seriously, would book her again!!”

About: I’ve had animals in my family my whole life! I have two doggies of my own. Beans and Kona. I have watched a lot of other people’s animals throughout my life. Animals are the best thing in this world! Without them life would not be as fun. I have open availability for the most part. I own my own business and thought this would be a fun side job! I’m very responsible and dependable. I am able to watch pets for short or long amounts of time! Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. Each morning, I feed my pets and take them for a walk. Throughout the week, I schedule playtime and grooming sessions, ensuring they stay healthy and happy. Their well-being adds joy and structure to my day-to-day life. I try to stick to their normal routines! I always feel like dogs have a less stressful time when we stick to the stuff they know. If there is something specific you need, I can accommodate!

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 12, I have my own dog that I love and take care of. I enjoy pets a lot. I am currently not working right focusing on school, and I am available anytime to play or take care of your dogs for boarding anytime. I have a fenced in yard, a nice basement area where I will stay with your dog or cat, and I can keep your dog crated as well if need to be.

“Billie did an amazing job with our babies, she was very great communication and sending pictures. I would definitely use her again. Thanks for you love care Billie”

I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel loved, safe, and truly seen. Caring for pets isn’t a job to me—it’s my passion and something I pour my whole heart into. Whether in my home or a client’s, I care for pets with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I follow any routines or instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or favorite toys. In a client’s home, I make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable in their own space, keeping things clean, calm, and familiar. If they’re with me, they get a cozy, stress-free environment with plenty of play, snuggles, and supervision. I treat every pet like my own—always with respect, care, and lots of love.

“Paige was always responsive and shared pics of the dogs. We weren’t able to meet in person before our vacation so she was open to communicating with my neighbor who let her in. She took the initiative to follow up with any clarifications we hadn’t covered beforehand. Our dogs are anxious and we appreciated her staying at the house with them while we were away. It is clear she has a heart for animals! ??”

“Rebecca watched our kitties and our house. She kept us informed of any kitty health changes, such as fur balls and vomiting. She sent pictures and even picked up some litter for us. She was very flexible and helpful.”
