About: I bring a unique blend of patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals that helps me quickly build trust with both pets and their people. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs whether that means keeping a playful pup busy or making sure a senior dog feels safe and comfortable. Here’s a bit about my experience: • Puppy care, leash walking, and reinforcing basic commands • Senior dogs, with gentle handling, slower-paced walks, and medication routines • Special needs pets, providing calm, detail-oriented care • Administering medications (oral, topical, and injectable) • Multi-pet households, managing dynamics so everyone gets love and attention I always prioritize communication I’ll send regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I truly treat every animal as if they were my own, creating a calm and loving environment while you’re away. I’m planning to transition out of my hourly job and become a full-time sitter while in school. Balancing classes and work can be a lot, but pet care has always been something that brings me joy and helps me decompress. I carefully plan my schedule to make sure I’m fully present and attentive with every pet I care for. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I’m committed to providing consistent, loving, and reliable care that fits both your pet’s needs and my routine. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and engaging environment that matches each pet’s routine and comfort level. In my home, I keep things clean, pet-proofed, and stocked with toys, cozy spaces, and outdoor access for breaks and playtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific habits or routines. I make sure pets feel secure and loved, whether they’re in familiar surroundings or visiting mine.

About: I have had dogs my whole life, and also to add a little more I can also take take of horses along with many other animals!!! I currently work part time and attend online college, so as I do my online classes the dogs and I can relax and spend some time together. The animals always come first, if I think they need something such as a new toy they will get it. I love animals more than anything else.

“Terrific care and communication!”

About: I’ve always grown up around dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and etc. A dog is more than just an animal, they are a part of the family. Im a dental assistant and love helping people achieve the confidence to smile again. Im 22 years old and still live with my parents so this is a great side hustle to save money to move out eventually. At home we have a basset hound named Maggie that’s three years old, an Australian Shepard named Ranger that is also three years old, a Yorkie Shih Tzu named Trixie that is about 15 years old (yeah I know she’s basically deaf and blind but old girl is still kicking it), and then two cats that we rescued on the side of the road named Stormi & Klondike! I also have chickens & ducks! Let me dogsit your fur baby 🥰 I’m currently working at a private dental office located in Staunton, IL Monday-Thursday. Usually when I dog sit for a family friend or just anyone in general I stay at their house with the dog(s) so they feel comfortable in their own environment. My work hours are as followed; Monday & Thursday: 7-4pm (lunch 12-1pm) Tuesday 8-6pm (lunch 1-2 or 2-3pm) and Wednesday 7-1pm. I am a reliable and a caring person to watch your fur babies! I usually stay at the clients house so the pet is in a familiar environment and won’t get over stimulated. Every dog is different and so I usually meet the clients and/or the dog(s) so they are somewhat familiar with me and aren’t frightened by a stranger while their loved ones are away.

“Would definitely recommend and definitely use her services again!”

“Kyleen is wonderful! She is always great with my two big dogs, one is right at a year and still fairly rowdy. She always communicates concerns and sends pictures.”

About: Hi! My name is Meghan. I have 6 years of experience in caring for over sixteen animals at one time, including cats, dogs, and larger four-legged animals. Care included administering medication, feeding, monitoring the health of all animals, ensuring all animals received adequate daily exercise, and overnight house sitting. I also have experience in caring for dogs and cats of family and friends. I'm currently working part-time so my schedule is fairly flexible. On the days that I work, I am available after either 11:45 or 3:05, depending on whether I work a half day or a full day. My weekend availability will vary depending on my schedule. Prior to providing care for your pet, I feel it is important to meet with you to understand your pet's behavior, needs, and any specific concerns you may have. I will make sure your pet receives plenty of love and affection, play time, and rest time.

“Amy is the BEST!! She was prompt, kept us informed about her visits, and was very courteous. Our dog loved having her come over. We will definitely use her again. I highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have always been the one to care for them. I’m dependable, loving, and comfortable with pets of all ages. Your pet’s well-being is my main focus. I’m available on weekdays and most weekends to provide them with consistent, loving care and attention they’ll enjoy.” I live in a neighborhood that’s great for walking dogs and very safe, with quiet streets and plenty of green spaces. It’s a peaceful area where neighbors look out for each other, making every walk enjoyable.

About: I’ve had pets since I was born. I take care of several of my friends, neighbors, ext. I walk, let out, and play with pets. I have experience with puppies, kittens, small and large dogs. I would be able to do whatever you need given an early notice. I could make time for your pets, they are my priority during this time. I have a fenced in yard, have plenty of area for them to play. I give them enough food and keep watering them whenever they run out during the hot times.

About: I have had dogs since I was a kid. I have trained dogs for general obedience, advanced obedience, trick training, and hunting. I also have a bachelors degree in Animal Science. My late personal dog was usually the star of the show anywhere we went because of all of his tricks and obedience. I currently have my own young dog I am training as well as two adult dogs. I love dogs, but I can’t take them ALL home according to my husband...so this is a chance for me to be around and work with many different dogs! Not only would your pet be getting the care and attention they need, but I can also train them while they are in my care. I am okay with getting to know and walking any dog, including reactive and hard to work with dogs. All dogs can be good dogs! I currently work full time in construction, but I am attempting to be able to work with animals full time instead. As of right now I am available most evenings and weekends. I have a large fenced yard. The fence is a 5 rail wood fence that has 6” gaps between boards. However, I always keep a close eye on the animals and do not leave them unsupervised. I have kennels with indoor and outdoor areas. I also have room inside my home for crates. When I am home the dogs would be in the house or in the yard with me as I do farm chores.

About: Hi! Just moved to Highland and I work remote. I am able to work from anywhere as long as you have WiFi. I’m looking to make a little extra cash on the side. I grew up with a lab and a pit bull so taking responsible of pets is nothing new to me. I enjoy getting out to exercise and later cuddling up with the dogs!

Overnight as well. Feel free to reach out at anytime! I have plenty of references if you need them. Breakfast and walk in the morning. Hangout during the daily while I work at my desk. I will take them out/walks for as many potty breaks as your dog needs!! I treat your animals as if they were my own. Most days will just be laying around and relaxing to keep both your animals and I comfortable.
