House Sitting in Templeton

“Shadae was an excellent sitter. She sent multiple photos and updates each day. Our dog and cat seemed very comfortable and cuddly with her. We would absolutely hire her again.”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life! I have experience with dog sitting and dog walking! Always excited to meet a new puppy! I am free all afternoons! But if needed in the morning or evening let me know! I’m always willing to negotiate a schedule to whatever is easiest for you! Unfortunately I am in an apartment so I will not be able to pet sit at my home, but whenever your pet needs to go outside I will keep an eye on them (especially if there is no fence)! I am able to lead a pet into a crate if needed. If there is anything else you would like me to do while with your pet let me know!

“We’ve booked with Millie twice now and she’s been great with our pups! She sends us daily updates and makes sure they are well taken care of!”

About: I have experience with a variety of breeds of dogs. I have owned dogs that are super high maintenance, dogs that love to lounge, anxiety ridden dogs, and dogs that are on the spicy side. I understand the different cues of dogs and how to read their body language. I have experience in walking multiple dogs. I also have experience in training dogs. I trained my Shetland Sheepdog for 4H and we made it to the state fair. I also taught him many silly tricks. I can be a professional fetch player or a professional cuddler, whichever your dog prefers. I can also just be a treat giver if your dog prefers space. I am currently working part time as a server, but my schedule is very flexible. I am a recently graduated college student, with the hopes of going to graduate school in the coming semester. Animal trust is very important to me. It is important that I earn you and your animals trust, and we can grow to be best friends or acquaintances if your animal is not into that. I hope to make your time away from your animal as easy as possible.

“Ella went above and beyond in caring for our animals. Despite a miscommunication about the duration of pet care needed, she was incredibly accommodating and worked out a schedule that served us perfectly. We really appreciated her flexibility. We also had an issue with our garage door not opening, and Ella graciously went back and forth multiple times to check on the animals. Her commitment and kindness made all the difference. We highly recommend her!”

“Addison communicated with us the entire trip which was great. She is a very caring sitter and responsible and we appreciated her concern and overall care for our pets. I would definitely recommend her.”

“We rebooked Beth to watch our 4 dogs and once again, everybody was happy and healthy when we got home. Beth does a wonderful job. Dogs love her and so do we. We even came home to spotless house. Thanks, Beth! We appreciate you:)”

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! I love all kinds of animals and building relationships with them! Please reach out with any questions! I center my day around when I need to take care of pets, and plan my day around it. I will make your pet my priority! I will treat your pet as my own and keep them company while you’re away! I will also send daily updates if requested! We will have a great time together!

About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals from a very young age. I’ve always thought that I liked spending time with animals more than people. And have always had a love for them. :) I work a part-time job that feels full time but that’s because I work with the public, however I’m trying to switch to something more flexible. Evenings work best for me but knowing ahead of time I can do mornings too. My cats have free roam as it’s equally their house, however I can put them away. If it’s your home I can do whatever is asked for me. For outside I have a lot of land but it’s open.

“Darrin was great! He was communicative, sent photos, and was very easy to work with. He stayed at our home and took great care of our two dogs and cat, one of which had activity restrictions due to surgery. It was our first time having someone house sit and we felt very comfortable with him!”

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends pets for a few years now. I love dogs but also just animals in general. I’ve completed basic responsibilities such as feeding, walking, grooming, bathing and training dogs, along with overnight stays for up to a week. I’m currently working part-time for a restaurant. I’m free almost every weekday morning, some nights and occasional weekend care. My schedule is fairly flexible so feel free to reach out with special accommodations for your pups! Currently I don’t have a house of my own, but I will make sure your little one is staying safe, getting the attention they need, and making sure all responsibilities are met.

About: I quickly form bonds of mutual respect with the pets I care for, I have a degree in veterinary science and use it frequently to provide the best care possible. My weekdays are always available, Friday through Sunday is typically my time off but on occasion, I will have limited availability on those provided days. If given instructions, they will be followed to a 'T' if no instructions are given then I will take care of them to the best of my ability with the knowledge.

About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, turtles, fish, plants, and more. Very skilled at reading body language and being able to calm animals down. I’m experienced with puppy training and treat positive reinforcement. I am currently working part time mostly in the morning/early afternoon, so night time care is easy! Usually off work on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and some weekends so midday care is definitely possible. Willing to work with your schedule if enough time is given in advance. I provide animal & plant sitting, animal & plant watering and feeding, cleaning litter boxes, snack giving, light training to encourage continued behaviors and tricks

About: I have had animals all of my life and have cared for them immensely. My family and friends say I have a special way with animals. I worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility for almost 2 years and got lots of experience caring for dogs there as well as opportunities to sit outside of it which has become a huge part of my life. I have knowledge and experience on all sorts of problems that may arise in both cats and dogs including cpr. I am currently a full-time purdue student who takes most classes online so I have plenty of time to care for your fur baby! I love going on walks so you can guarantee your fur baby will get some long peaceful and smellful walks! So far I have done both in-home and in my home. I make sure to have a specific wake up sleep schedule so my animals and the ones I have watched have a routine and care. As I mentioned before I love walks… so walks are guaranteed! In the clients home I make sure to provide the same level of care and attention to the pet as I would my own or in my own home!

About: Me and my husband moved to the U.S ten months ago from Sweden. I had a French bulldogg in sweden and miss him horribly. I have a soft spot for bulldoggs in general. But I love all animals and dogs. If you need help with walks or some nigths/days I'm here to help. If you need day or night sitting in the weekend I'm flexible with the hours. I can only do walks on evenings in the week, but all day ln weekends. I can not do dog boarding because the owner of the house dont permit diffrent dogs in the house. But i can petsit in your home.

“She was amazing!!! Would and will hire again!! On time arrival and pictures sent. Overall great pet sitter and responsible!!!”

“Isaiah did a great job house sitting for our 5 needy cats. Everyone seemed well taken care of. He sent frequent pictures/updates. And the house was in great shape when we returned.”

About: I'm 50 years old, and have mostly owned pit bull breed dogs, but I love all breeds. From 2010 to 2018, my APBT was trained as a therapy animal, we did hospital visits and library events with children. I taught him several tricks, such as left, right, speak, play dead. My current pit is a rescue and I am off leash training. Dog Walking: I work in the Kankakee area, so coming to walk your dog in Kankakee, Bradley, Bourbonnais, is NO problem! Either in the mornings (after 7am) and/or later in the evenings (8ish pm) it's all negotiable. I live in Iroquois county, so I have more availability to walk your dog if you are in that area. Pet Sitting: I can come to sit in your home, if that is preferred. I am also available to just come let them outside, spend time and play, feed, water, clean up. Boarding: I would love to open our home to your precious babies. Non smoking, fenced in yard, lots of walks in my small town. My dog friendly pup can't wait to play tag around the dining room table. All pets are welcome on the couches and have full access to the entire 1st floor, including the bed in the spare room. My husband and I work different shifts, so someone is usually always home. A maximum of 3 to 4 hours of an occasional overlap in shifts. I am able to crate your pet if preferred, or close off access to half of the living space. Before boarding, a few meet and greets are necessary. More details as we move forward. Cats: I will help with your cats, spending time, play, feed, clean litter boxes. I also have several years of experience with birds. I know how important socializing is to birds, and leaving them alone can cause problems and stress. Boarding of cats and birds can be discussed. As I'm nearing retirement from the Healthcare field, I would like to do more of what I love, which is caring for and spending time with animals. If I can do that for you, and ease your worry while you are away, it's a win for everyone! Reach out and let me help you today. As far as boarding your dog, my husband and I work different shifts, so someone is always home. A fully fenced back yard and good sniffer walks in my small town. Your dog is welcome on the couches and downstairs bed. Access to entire 1st floor. I can also crate if preferred. Baths and nail trims are no problem! I have a 60lb staffordshire terrier who loves all kids, people and dogs. It's playtime almost 24/7! Unless it's nap time and he's professional at that also!

“Lauren was proactive in setting up a time to first meet my dog before the actual stay. She clearly communicated before and throughout the stay. My house was also left in perfect condition when the stay was over. I would highly recommend Lauren for anyone in need of a dog sitter.”

“Valerie was awesome! My dogs loved her and she was great about keeping us updated. It is hard to find reliable people to watch the dogs, so it’s nice to finally have someone near us to help!”
