Having recently moved back to the area, I am highly flexible on hours and happy to accommodate a variety of scheduling needs or potential requests!

About: In my 29 years of life, I’ve always had pets. I currently have eight cats of my own and help take care of my parents dog! I rescued ten of my cats throughout my life from living on the street as kittens and raised them from kitten formula to adult cat food. Full time I’m a house cleaner, so I’m surrounded by my client’s pets every single day. They are like my own and it’s the best part of my job. Due to my current unemployment, I am available seven days a week, any time of the day to care for your fur child(ren)! 🥰 please do let me know if your times are flexible. I am available to walk dogs, feed, and play with your pets. I’m even willing to scoop litter boxes and spend time with pets that may experience anxiety being alone all day.
About: I have taken care of all different kinds of dogs from sizes and breeds since I was a kid. Throughout my life I’ve had several dogs all types of different breeds and sizes, from a mastiff to a miniature poodle. So, I have lots experience in dealing with dogs in different ranges with breed,size, and age. I also have experience with cats, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I am working full time currently, I am off on the weekends unless and normally completely free these days. I work during the day most days. I usually work evenings one day out of the week,tuesdays. I am very flexible outside of my time with work! I currently have a dog and 3 cats. With my dog we feed him in the morning and evening, throughout the day I usually play with my dog let him out to go potty, and a couple walks throughout the day to keep them moving. I also feed my cats morning and night and play with them throughout the day and clean their litter box in the evening.
“Niamh takes awesome care of my sweetie girl while I am working! She gives my dog lots of pets, play time, and a good walk while I am gone. She also goes the extra mile if my pup needs anything, like fresh water or if she has an accident. Thank you SO much! :)”
About: I am up for all kinds of dogs; lazy, energetic, and in between! I have been through basic and personalized training with my own dog, so I can reinforce training with your dog! We love running, swimming, and playing fetch! I can provide treats for the dogs, if it something you want! I have administered medicine to dogs before (lots of experience with tricking dogs into taking pills). I also have experience with elderly dogs, who made need a little extra help getting around. If weather is ever bad, we have plenty of toys and obstacles within the house so they can still get that play in for the day! I have worked with food aggressive dogs, as well as high anxiety and nervous dogs. There is always a way to make the day fun here!
“Meredith walked our puppy for 3 months and he loved her. She helped so much with his leash training and learning how to heal. I cannot say enough about how much she helped out and how much our dog loves and trusts her. Highly recommend.”
“Brooklyn has done a great job with my pup. Excellent communication and takes good care of him. She is the first person I’ve used on this app and definitely grateful I got a good person.”
“As a new dog caregiver, leaving my adopted pup for the first time, I couldn’t have asked for a better human than Samantha! She was kind, patient, warm and thoughtful with my pup and also with me! She understood my anxiety and was able to give me calm and detailed feedback with each visit. It was only four days away, but it meant the world to me to have someone willing to go above and beyond to make it a success for my pup and for me!”
About: Hi! I have tremendous experience with dogs of all sizes, I have a kickin goldendoodle named Bernie who is basically my sidekick, and I’m enjoying life as much as I can doing what I love doing to keep me happy and pay the bills. The gig economy in 2023 is a weird situation filled with difficulty finding jobs, various aspects of life destroying happiness, and difficulty keeping the lights on in some cases. Life with dogs is just easier and frankly, far more fun. I will do everything I can to ensure your family member’s safety, security, and happiness. Anything I can do to make your drop in or walk more satisfactory, I will absolutely do. And unless instructed otherwise, they’re going to immediately get a treat from me the second they see me. So. Prepare for that. I care for my dog daily as well as other family members’ dogs. I take 3 daily walks with my own dog if no other walks are scheduled. I have a fenced in yard and I have experience dealing with highly tense situations when it comes to dogs and their occasional bombastic reactions.
About: I love all animals but have just two cats myself. I’ve worked with both domesticated pets at vet hospitals to wild animals at rehab centers and nature centers in NWI. I’m happy to be someone you can trust with your furry family while you’re away! I work hybrid and have a lot of flexibility to my schedule. I can usually be available morning, noon and night! I can easily find a way to fit your needs to my schedule. I like to be active so walks and play time are big for me. If your pet is more into snoozing on the couch, we can make that work too! I’m great with medications if needed and very protective of my own pets so you can rest assured that I will let you know of any issues should they arise.

About: I have grown up around pets my whole life and have been trusted with family/friends pets for many years. I am very active and love to play and walk with pets as I have had border collies as family dogs. Having had many, I am familiar with dogs of all ages and understand how each pet differs from one another. I am in between jobs currently and, therefore, have a lot of time on my hands. This leaves a lot of space for pet care throughout the week when I am not traveling. I am willing to be at the client’s home as often as requested to care for the pet. I am very communicative and will send owner updates throughout their time away.
