Mandy has been great! Even our skittish cat and anxious dog took to her quite quickly. She is very accommodating and understanding with schedule changes. She’s highly communicative and very attentive to any details. Her experience with challenging animals is reassuring as well. We will for sure hire Mandy again!

Excellent dog watcher!! It was my second time hiring Daniel and was such a comfort to travel while letting my senior dog stay at home. Daniel did great, kept me up to date with pictures and information about my dogs eating and drinking habits. Would definitely recommend if your like me and want your dog to stay in his comfort zone, hiring Daniel to look after your pet.

About: I grew up on a farm and always had multiple animals my whole life and now that I live on my own nothing has changed and I still love them! I only work a couple days a week and they aren’t long hours so I am available for any scheduling you can throw at me! I can let your animal out in a fenced back yard or I can leash them and walk them so they can do their business. Or if they just need some exercise I can do longer walks, if they just need someone to hang out & feed them i’m available also. Any requests don’t be afraid to ask!

About: I have had a dog all my life. Growing up we had Boxers. In my adult married life we have had Labrador Retrievers . These dogs have not been dogs but fur kids. I have taken them to obedience classes so I have experience in commands and working with them. I believe that fur kids need plenty of exercise on and off leashes. Dog parks are a good way to socialize them and get in exercise. In the home mind games are fun too. Sniffing out a treat to playing with toys on the floor with them. I love taking pictures and document what we do. You will know what your fur child is doing. I am currently working for home during the week day so being with them during the day works. I am able to take breaks and go on short walks. Play with them in our fenced in yard. I plan on retirement in May so I will be available 24/7, 365 days a year. I am willing to come into your home if you would feel more comfortable. If they come to my home we have a fenced in yard and will be able to play with our 2 fur boys. One is an 8 year old chocolate Labrador and the other is a 5 year old German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees. Both have had other dogs come into the home and stayed with us. They love having visitors. In your home I will attend to their needs as you have outlined.

About: While I have the most experience taking care of cats, I do have experience with dogs, bearded dragons, and fish as well! I am also always open to learning about new animals and their care routines. I am consistent, detail oriented and passionate about caring for critters and that will always be the same no matter the animal! I am currently employed 7-3:30 5 days per week. I am able to attend to pets before and after work every day as well as on my days off. If something does not quite fit with my schedule I do have a partner who is a little more flexible and may be able to fill in. I live in a spacious townhouse, so if your pet is joining our crew we can provide them with their own space or allow them to roam with the others! If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat it as if its my own. I am a very cleanly person and I am detail oriented so I will attend to your surroundings as well as your pet!

About: I've always been the family member my family could call on to take care of their dogs when they were out. I've walked/been walked by an energetic husky, I've looked after a blind/deaf elderly shih tzu, I've spent hours playing with a cuddly golden retriever, and now I want to help take care of your pets. My schedule is fairly free for weekday/weekend care, earlier in the morning would work better for me but if you need me to come over at the evening/night time, I'd be more than happy to do so. My drop-ins involve a quick to-do list to take care of the basics (any food bowl, water, or potty attention), followed by playtime until I can ensure your pet is happy and satisfied. If you'd like me to have some photos of your pet whether I'm doing in home care or taking them for a walk, let me know and if there's an opening, I'll gladly snap a few photos for you on my phone!

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every dog like they’re my own. I have experience caring for puppies, high-energy breeds, and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and support. Whether it’s training a new pup or giving meds to an older dog, I make sure each pet gets personalized, safe, and loving care. My home is a calm, dog-friendly space, and I’m all about keeping tails wagging and owners worry-free! Ive grown up with pets and they were a big part of my daily life. Feeding, walking, grooming, and just spending time with them were all built into my routine. It taught me responsibility from a young age, and I really enjoyed the companionship. I definitely look forward to having pets again in the future when the timing is right. "When I cared for pets at home growing up—and when helping friends or neighbors—I always made sure their basic needs were met first: feeding, fresh water, regular potty breaks, and exercise. I paid close attention to their routines and any specific instructions, especially when helping in someone else's home. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and loved, whether that’s sticking to their walk schedule, administering medication if needed, or just giving them plenty of playtime and affection. Cleanliness and communication are also big priorities for me when caring for pets in someone else's space.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and started helping with their care at age 10. Though the last 12 years have truly deepened my experience and love for animal care. Currently, I share my home with four cats and a German Shepherd/Husky puppy! Over the years, I’ve had the honor of caring for pets with special needs, both my own and those of friends and loved ones. My puppy and I have completed two 6-week training courses with Canine Initiative – and yes, we still practice those skills daily (with varying levels of success depending on how many squirrels we’ve seen that day). One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for my border collie, Nina, after a serious injury. She needed help walking with a harness, regular cleaning, medications, vet visits, and lots of love. After 2.5 months of dedicated care, she was back on her feet, and we were lucky to share two more wonderful years together. I also cared for her through a late-in-life diabetes diagnosis, which included daily insulin and increased mobility support. I’ve administered medications to dogs including insulin, ear drops, and oral meds, and I’m especially mindful about keeping pets calm and comfortable during care routines. I’m always happy to learn your exact process — whether through an in-person tutorial or a video — to keep your dog’s stress to a minimum. I’m open to caring for dogs with medical or physical needs, with the understanding that for mobility support using a harness, I’m most experienced with dogs 45 lbs. or less. That said, I’m absolutely comfortable walking and caring for dogs over 50 lbs. as long as they are well-mannered on a leash. While I may not be the strongest person physically, I’m confident with larger dogs who don’t pull or lunge too much. If your pup is a gentle giant, we’ll get along just fine on walks! My youngest (age 12) and I work great together playing and giving positive attention to dogs. She has attended most of the dog training classes with me and shown an interest in attending more. If you would prefer myself only, I completely understand! Should your animal need urgent care and I am able to take them to the vet, we are very familiar and close with Morton Animal Hospital and Banfield Pet Hospital. I cannot recommend them enough! If more assistance is needed than the general care/dog walking, I will adjust the rate and will be happy to discuss this with you. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions! I am currently off for the summer and will have various appointments and activities to do with my children and animals. I am able to adjust my schedule at this time but will let you know if I have anything scheduled during the days needed. I understand sometimes extra or unexpected trips are needed to check on your pet. At this time, I am off for the summer and am able to provide care throughout the day for my own pets. Depending on your dogs activity level, I would prefer to care for your dog at your home due to my dogs young and energetic puppy self, as well as my four indoor cats. Should it work out with bringing your dog to my home and remaining outside with me, I do live on a busy street in town and do experience unsafe, fast driving cars at times (Idlewood). With that said, our yard is completely fenced in, though our back and front fence is 5 ft. in height. Larger, escape artist dogs may have the ability to hop the fence and if that is a concern, I would rather not risk bringing your dog to my home.

About: I have animals of my own and 15 years of experience helping with other animals. I would love to take your dogs for walks or give them some play time throughout the day. I'm open to watching your animals over night too (boarding can be scary). I'm a social worker and off for summer break. I have a lot of free time throughout the day which allows me to meet your dog or cats needs! I have a big yard but we have a underground fence. I will use a leash to let the dogs out. I have a 1 month old Black Lab that is full of energy along with a 1 year old cat who is very energetic. Both animals are good with people and other pets as well. I am willing to take your dog for walk, appointments, give some attention etc.

About: Through out my life I've had several different furry friends (and fish!). I have worked with all kinds of animals from ones that love to run and play to ones that would prefer to lounge around all day! My fur baby, Dodge, is a mix of the two so im sure to cater to each side of him by providing different types of enrichment and trainings for each mood. I am currently a stay at home wife looking to make some pocket money while doing something I love! I'll have plenty of time to look after your lovely animal children! Most of the times, short term stays or quick check-ins work best for me, but I am open to talks regarding longer stays. I am a strong believer in spending as much time with pets as possible, so I plan to enact that with your fur babies as well. I will send you pictures of your fur baby on walks or lounging on the couch with small updates.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, growing up with dogs, cats, birds, and even lizards. My mom was an animal lover, and I’ve followed in her footsteps. I helped my dad with his three cats that my mom used to care for before she passed, driving an hour every week for grooming and bathing (one of them is a bit oversized!). I’d love to care for your beloved pet. Although I can’t have pets of my own due to my wife’s allergies, this makes pet sitting my dream job! I regularly care for my father’s cat, Jack, traveling over an hour each way, so distance is not an issue for me. I work seasonally for a cemetery in Bloomington which leaves me laid off from December 1st to March 1st each year. So I am highly available in that 3 month span, and then on weekends during the rest of the year. I’m here to support you and your beloved pet. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and the people who care for them. When my wife mentioned pet sitting, I was excited to get involved right away. Dogs seem to love me, and cats generally tolerate me—which I think says a lot about my character! I’m reliable, trustworthy, and available when you need me. I’ve been caring for pets since I was young, helping neighbors with feeding, walking, and cleanup. I promise to provide the care and attention your pet deserves and be a great fit for you both!

September cared for our 2-year old golden retriever in our house for 26 days. She quickly connected with our very energetic dog and formed a great relationship- it was evident that he loved her as much as she loved him at the end of their time together. September is enthusiastic and adventurous, and likes to explore new places and meet new people which our dog loves too - they went for walks around the neighborhood and on local trails, and even ventured into a few dog friendly stores. It was evident that September’s experience owning and training her own dogs helped her work with our dog. She knew when he needed to play games - mind games, sniffing games and just some time playing on the floor, as well as when it was time to relax and snuggle up in the big chair together. And, she took lots of great pictures and shared them with us, which made us feel good while we were away.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and started helping with their care at age 10. Though the last 12 years have truly deepened my experience and love for animal care. Currently, I share my home with four cats and a German Shepherd/Husky puppy! Over the years, I’ve had the honor of caring for pets with special needs, both my own and those of friends and loved ones. My puppy and I have completed two 6-week training courses with Canine Initiative – and yes, we still practice those skills daily (with varying levels of success depending on how many squirrels we’ve seen that day). One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for my border collie, Nina, after a serious injury. She needed help walking with a harness, regular cleaning, medications, vet visits, and lots of love. After 2.5 months of dedicated care, she was back on her feet, and we were lucky to share two more wonderful years together. I also cared for her through a late-in-life diabetes diagnosis, which included daily insulin and increased mobility support. I’ve administered medications to dogs including insulin, ear drops, and oral meds, and I’m especially mindful about keeping pets calm and comfortable during care routines. I’m always happy to learn your exact process — whether through an in-person tutorial or a video — to keep your dog’s stress to a minimum. I’m open to caring for dogs with medical or physical needs, with the understanding that for mobility support using a harness, I’m most experienced with dogs 45 lbs. or less. That said, I’m absolutely comfortable walking and caring for dogs over 50 lbs. as long as they are well-mannered on a leash. While I may not be the strongest person physically, I’m confident with larger dogs who don’t pull or lunge too much. If your pup is a gentle giant, we’ll get along just fine on walks! My youngest (age 12) and I work great together playing and giving positive attention to dogs. She has attended most of the dog training classes with me and shown an interest in attending more. If you would prefer myself only, I completely understand! Should your animal need urgent care and I am able to take them to the vet, we are very familiar and close with Morton Animal Hospital and Banfield Pet Hospital. I cannot recommend them enough! If more assistance is needed than the general care/dog walking, I will adjust the rate and will be happy to discuss this with you. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions! I am currently off for the summer and will have various appointments and activities to do with my children and animals. I am able to adjust my schedule at this time but will let you know if I have anything scheduled during the days needed. I understand sometimes extra or unexpected trips are needed to check on your pet. At this time, I am off for the summer and am able to provide care throughout the day for my own pets. Depending on your dogs activity level, I would prefer to care for your dog at your home due to my dogs young and energetic puppy self, as well as my four indoor cats. Should it work out with bringing your dog to my home and remaining outside with me, I do live on a busy street in town and do experience unsafe, fast driving cars at times (Idlewood). With that said, our yard is completely fenced in, though our back and front fence is 5 ft. in height. Larger, escape artist dogs may have the ability to hop the fence and if that is a concern, I would rather not risk bringing your dog to my home.

About: I have animals of my own and 15 years of experience helping with other animals. I would love to take your dogs for walks or give them some play time throughout the day. I'm open to watching your animals over night too (boarding can be scary). I'm a social worker and off for summer break. I have a lot of free time throughout the day which allows me to meet your dog or cats needs! I have a big yard but we have a underground fence. I will use a leash to let the dogs out. I have a 1 month old Black Lab that is full of energy along with a 1 year old cat who is very energetic. Both animals are good with people and other pets as well. I am willing to take your dog for walk, appointments, give some attention etc.

Nash hasn’t found a pet yet that doesn’t like him. He is caring and careful with animals as a big animal lover. I recommend booking him to care for your dogs, cats, and other loved pets!
