I had to leave my pup for 5 days to fly back home and was honestly so anxious but Kathleen sent me plenty of updates and took great care of her! She was extremely accommodating and treated my dog like she was one of her own. I definitely recommend and would re-book with her in the future!!

I can't say enough about how much peace of mind we had leaving our puppy of only 2 1/2 months old with Ashley. She sent us updates and pictures during the four days he spent with her. She gave us some helpful hints to work on training him. She was great!

About: My boyfriend and I have always had animals in our lives. Growing up he lived on a farm with dogs, cats, goats, pigs etc. and I have had dogs and cats my whole life. We currently have 2 beautiful Great Danes, a bunch of rabbits, outside kitties, and 3 chinchillas! Our dogs love people, small animals, and would love a bigger dog to run around with. We would love to cuddle with your fur babies, go for walks, or just play in the fenced yard! With summer coming up we know that it’s going to be vacation time, you deserve to be able to enjoy and relax on vacation while knowing your animals are well taken care of. Me and my boyfriend work mornings and get lunch breaks half way through, so we’d be able to check on your animals even while working and we can be with them all afternoon. On Wednesdays and Thursdays we are both off so they’d get us all day! We have a 2 story house with lots of room for them to lay around and have their own space if needed. We also have a large backyard that is fenced off already for our dogs.

About: I have had animals my whole life. This past May, I was lucky enough to retire from 33+ years of teaching. Since 2022, I have volunteered at Tails Animal Shelter walking dogs. Last year, we had to say goodbye to our 16 year old dog, and I miss having animals in the house. While I am not ready to get a new dog, I am very excited to take care of other's dogs like they were my own. Whether it is your pet coming to our house or me going to your home, I cannot wait to keep your furry friend company. Communication is a key issue for me. I worried about my dog all the time. I find a way to alleviate that is to send pictures often. Because I am retired, I would be able to be with pets most of the day. I would let them out every couple of hours - more if needed. I can follow any schedule for feeding. I am really flexible and would be able to accommodate most schedules. I would make sure to keep a close eye on your dog while we were hanging out together. Dogs are definitely allowed on furniture (unless you prefer they not be). I can put a dog in a crate if that is comfortable for them as well. Our yard is not fenced, but it is a large yard in the woods. I can also take dogs for walk around our neighborhood or to the riverwalk in downtown Dixon. We also have a property about 15 miles south of Dixon with 80 acres and a pond, so a trip there could be fun as well.

About: I have been around dogs since I can remember. I love to talk to my dogs like they are my kids. Play with them to keep them active and moving around. I treat every dog like they are my own I’m currently going to school so working part time. I love dogs so this works perfectly with my schedule and I get to hangout with dogs all day I have a fenced in yard, and keep an eye my dogs whenever they are outside to make sure they are okay. I don’t allow them to chew on anything that isint a toy or jumping. I follow whatever the owner would like me to do, because everybody raises their animals differently. I respect every persons preferences and will abide by that.

About: I’ve had animals ever since I was born, ranging from cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, birds, turtles.. And since I was young I helped care for them! Once I hit my pre-teen years I began volunteering at animal shelters, helping with animals of all kinds! I once even held a fundraiser in middle school for a local shelter who needed help gathering supplies for their pets. I have experience with animals who need medications or have special needs! I personally have a small elderly chihuahua, a calm fluffy cat, a young playful kitten. I’m currently a college student focusing on my education, so I have plenty of time to assist you with all your pet care needs! I’ll be available to help with your fur babies for as long as you need me to! I do offer services within my own home! I have a small chihuahua, a friendly cat, a small kitten, and a child under my roof as well. But, animal safety is my number one priority! I’ve taught my step daughter the utmost of respect towards animals! I can also keep my pets separate from yours if needed!

About: I have always had a special connection with animals, dogs especially, and grown up being called an animal whisper. Ive had dogs of all ages my whole life. I have experience with puppies, adults and senior dog care. Currently learning more and more about training dogs and using thoes techniques on my husky mix. Im all for giving your furry friends the care they deserve❤️I dont have any cats! I am currently working at an Assisted Living and Memory Care Facility in Yorkville and my shift is 6am-2pm. My schedule changes every other week. Although my boyfriend works the 3pm-11pm shift so someone is home most of the time. I am not totally free but I would be willing to work something out! My house has a front and back yard-not too big. We use a tie out for our dog and we have a few extras if needed for your dog! Me and my boyfriend live in a two bedroom duplex. Most areas of the house is dog proofed and we have plenty of toys for both to play with. My dog does really good with other dogs and loves to have company and a friend to play with. He is still younger so he can be hyper at first but will eventually calm down:)

I had to leave my pup for 5 days to fly back home and was honestly so anxious but Kathleen sent me plenty of updates and took great care of her! She was extremely accommodating and treated my dog like she was one of her own. I definitely recommend and would re-book with her in the future!!

Tracy did a wonderful job watching my fur babies. I could tell that she gave them lots of love while I was out. She was very kind and sent me lots of great pictures during their stay! I would highly recommend! Thank you so much Tracy!

I can't say enough about how much peace of mind we had leaving our puppy of only 2 1/2 months old with Ashley. She sent us updates and pictures during the four days he spent with her. She gave us some helpful hints to work on training him. She was great!

The best sitter experience ever. Really allowed our family to enjoy our weekend away knowing Tracey had our girl. She treated her so well and we couldn’t have been more grateful for her. Such good communication also! Will definitely book again!

About: My boyfriend and I have always had animals in our lives. Growing up he lived on a farm with dogs, cats, goats, pigs etc. and I have had dogs and cats my whole life. We currently have 2 beautiful Great Danes, a bunch of rabbits, outside kitties, and 3 chinchillas! Our dogs love people, small animals, and would love a bigger dog to run around with. We would love to cuddle with your fur babies, go for walks, or just play in the fenced yard! With summer coming up we know that it’s going to be vacation time, you deserve to be able to enjoy and relax on vacation while knowing your animals are well taken care of. Me and my boyfriend work mornings and get lunch breaks half way through, so we’d be able to check on your animals even while working and we can be with them all afternoon. On Wednesdays and Thursdays we are both off so they’d get us all day! We have a 2 story house with lots of room for them to lay around and have their own space if needed. We also have a large backyard that is fenced off already for our dogs.

About: Every pet is unique. I tailor my care plans to meet your pet's individual personality and needs, whether that means high-energy playtime or patience with a shy pet, always using a gentle, force-free approach. I offer 24/7 Furbo live camera access. My goal is to provide exceptional, worry-free care, treating your pet like family while ensuring their safety and happiness in your absence. As a full-time stay-at-home mom, I am home the majority of the day, allowing me to provide a high level of attention and supervision for your pet. Unlike sitters with traditional 9-to-5 jobs, my flexible schedule means more playtime, more potty breaks, and consistent companionship for your furry family member. Pet-proofed my home securing trash bins, cover sharp corners, keep toilet lids down, and removing or locking away any toxic or dangerous items. I use baby gates and childproof locks to block off certain areas. I set up a comfortable, low-traffic area with an orthopedic pet bed or if your pet needs to be kenneled or crated at night that can be offered as well. I ensure to use toys and chews that are appropriate for the pet's size and species. I do not have a fenced in yard but I will make sure your pet is using their collar/harness and leash when outside at all times.
