Dog Sitting Sycamore

About: Hi! I’m Renee. If you are looking for more than just a dog sitter, you are in the right place. I am a Veterinarian graduated from Mexico with 9 years of experience. While I do not hold an official license to practice clinical medicine, perform surgeries, or prescribe medications here in the United States, my medical background means your pet will receive the safest, most knowledgeable care possible. What I offer: *Puppy Care Specialist: I know how fragile 2-month-old puppies are. I design strict potty training schedules, enforce safe socialization, and keep them mentally stimulated without risking their health. *Special Needs & Senior Care: I am fully qualified to administer oral medications, monitor chronic conditions, and handle senior pets with mobility issues with extreme gentleness. *A Safe Environment: My apartment is a pet-proofed, cozy home. I focus on high-quality, closely supervised care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my absolute priorities. You will receive frequent updates, photos, and the peace of mind that a veterinary professional is watching over your furry family member! I work part-time from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate my time, play, and care to your pets. I am fully available for boarding on weekends, and Monday through Friday starting at 7:00 AM. Your pet will rarely be left alone! My apartment building features spacious, secure green areas perfect for your pet to exercise and play. With my veterinary background, I can quickly recognize any signs of distress and administer first aid or medications if needed. Your pet's health and safety are in expert, loving hands.

About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of pets, ages, and have even done a little training. My experience stems from running my own pet sitting business in the Northwoods of WI for 4 years. I am currently a student at NIU so I will be scheduling around my classes. Monday/Wednesday I have class usually 9am-4pm & Tuesday/Thursday from 1pm-4:30pm. I will take gigs after class at night but please keep in mind that I’m an active student & my schedule may change based on other commitments. I also go home to WI to see my family so please just communicate with me! School comes first so I am specifically looking for lower maintenance gigs so I can manage my academic workload. BONUS points if your pet loves snuggles. I only care for pets in my clients home simply because Im not allowed to take them to my apartment. I’m very communicative and always answer my phone :) if you need extra help with plant care or getting the mail I am at your aid!

About: I have been taking care of my Australian shepherd since I was twelve years old. I've been grooming her, walking her, training her, and feeding her since I was a child. Throughout my life I have gotten two more dogs and many more animals that I have loved taking care of. My college classes have all been online so I have had plenty of time to be at home and spend time with my three dogs. At my home I have three dogs. Two that usually keep to themselves but one Husky that loves to play. I have a large fenced in back yard with plenty of room to run around, as well as cages to crate dogs if needed.

About: Hi, I'm Rowan! I provide specialized pet care for cats and dogs based on their unique needs! I offer boarding, house sitting, drop in visits, daycare, and dog walking. Does your pet need a lot of attention? Cuddles? Quiet time? Medication or monitoring? Whether your pet is energetic, elderly, or has special needs, I'm trained and equipped to make sure they get exactly what they need. I guarantee personalized pet care exceeding industry standards, quick and clear communication, and a positive experience for you and your furry family. My experience: I have several years of professional experience working at luxury dog daycare and boarding facilities.

I've also volunteered hundreds of hours as an animal care attendant and dog walker at animal shelters and non-profits like Tails. In addition to this, I have a lifetime of personal experience caring for cats and dogs for friends, colleagues, and neighbors! About me: I'm currently finishing my final semester (virtually) as a graduate student in cultural anthropology. During my BA program in environmental studies, I took multiple classes on animal behavior and animal ethics, so caring for animals is a long term passion of mine! Outside of that, I love painting, doing ceramics, and reading sci-fi novels. :) PLEASE NOTE: I only recieve messages via Rover. I do not recieve text messages. Thank you! I'm currently a graduate student in cultural anthropology finishing my final semester virtually. My schedule is extremely flexible and I'm able to respond quickly to whatever you or your pet need! For boarding: I live in a spacious apartment next to a big park where your pup can get plenty of outside time. I'm happy to play, cuddle, give space, go for walks, or provide anything else your pet needs. Because I live in an apartment, quiet dogs are preferred. For House sitting: When in your home, I'll follow all your instructions exactly and provide prompt communication. I'm also happy to send regular updates with pictures of your pet. :)

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 10 years old, my family used to rescue strays and my grandmother used to breed Pomeranians. I myself have shown dogs in 4-H as well, in both showmanship and obedience classes! I also have special need doggo right now and understand how to distribute oral medications correctly. I understand how hard it is to trust your furry loved ones to someone who you don’t know, and I promise to always provide a gentle and loving environment for them no matter the case! I am a college student at the moment so I will not be able to be with your furry loved one full time! However my class schedule is flexible enough that I will be sure that your pet is well taken care of! I have most evenings absolutely free as well as weekends meaning I can be with your pet full time during that time! My own dog gets about two walks a day! He receives medication as well as special stimulation treats during the day, along with a weekly spa day, he is one pampered pooch!! My cat gets wet food every morning and dry food every evening, he is long haired so this furry kitty also gets groomed very regularly. Both of my pets also get night time treats just for being adorable.

“So happy with Kimberly! She’s so sweet with our animals and even went above and beyond when we found an unexpected bunny nest in our backyard. Thank you, Kimberly!”

“Becca was amazing! She agreed to three drop-in visits with less than 24 hours notice. She was on-time for every visit, followed the instructions we had left, made sure that both of our dogs were well taken care of and even spent some time with them. Everything went so well that we've asked Becca to be our regular sitter. ?”

About: Hi! I'm Lili! I've grown up surrounded by dogs and have always had a huge soft spot for them. I currently have an 8 year old pup of my own, who I absolutely cherish. Being a dog mom has taught me just how important it is to have someone you can truly trust to care for your fur baby. I know how hard it can be to leave your pup behind, whether you're heading to work, traveling, or simply need an extra hand. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I am happy to provide dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I will treat your loved one with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. During visits, I am more than happy to provide plenty of pets, playtime, walks, cuddle, meals, fresh water, and whatever routine your pup is used to. I also understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, so I will take the time to get to know what makes your pet comfortable and happy. Most importantly, I want you to have a piece of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hand. I'm currently working full-time Monday through Friday from 12:00pm - 8:30pm. I'm available for morning walks and drop-in visits before work, as well as limited evening availability after work depending on the location and your pet's needs. On the weekends, I am fully available and have much more flexibility for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to know that your pup is in caring and trustworthy hands. I will take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, needs and comfort level. I'll carefully follow your instructions regarding, feeding, medications, walks, allergies, and any other special care your pet may need. During walks and visits, I stay attentive to your pet and prioritize their safety at all times. I am also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have a peace of mind while you're away. For house sitting, I'll treat your home with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I'll keep things clean and tidy, follow your house rules, and make sure your pet maintains their normal routine as much as possible. Most importantly, I want every pup in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved and at home.

About: I have a ton of experience pet sitting and checking in on pets throughout the day as well as dog walking. I also have a lot of experience working with senior aged animals. I am very confident in my skills and would love the opportunity to help out anyone who needs it. I am super flexible with hours and always available. I am currently on summer break from school so right now I have all the time in the world. Once September starts I will have to go back to school but I only have a few classes on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday so I would only be away from, the animals for two hours at most. Caring for pets in their home is my preferred way to do it because they are familiar with the environment. I have experience watching pets in all types of and different types of outdoor access. So even if there is no screened in fence, I am able to deal with that.

“Julianna was absolutely wonderful with my cats while I was away.My cats clearly loved her,and I really appreciated all the pictures and daily updates she sent it made me feel so much better about leaving them at home.She was very attentive, caring and very good with them. I always felt informed and reassured knowing they were in great hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter,and I will absolutely use her services again in the future.”
