I absolutely love all animals and have even had ducks, turtles, bunnies, squirrels, and more. I’m a sophomore in college at SIUE and I have a very free schedule. My class schedule ranges from 1-3 classes a day which allows me to let the dog out in between these classes and with the dog the majority of the day.

About: With over 10 years of experience raising and caring for my own pets—including senior pets—and 6 years of working in the pet industry, I bring a deep understanding of animals and their unique personalities. What sets me apart is not just my hands-on experience, but my commitment to clear, consistent communication. While you’re away, you’ll always be in the loop with updates, photos, and messages—so you can feel confident and connected every step of the way. Pet care is a natural part of my weekly routine. While I do work during the week, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to do drop-ins throughout the day. I also work from home on Fridays, which gives me even more time to dedicate to your pets. I’m available for boarding or daycare from Thursday through Sunday, making weekends a perfect time for your pet to enjoy some extra attention and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m highly attentive and detail-oriented, which means I take every precaution to create a secure and loving environment. In my home, dogs are welcome to relax on the furniture and have the freedom to roam when I’m present. If I need to step out, pets are safely gated to ensure their well-being. I also provide separate eating areas to prevent any food-related issues between pets. You can trust that your furry family member will be treated with the same care and respect I give my own

Caeden S.Star Sitter
“Our fur babies are important to us where I was certainly pleased with how my little LuLu was cared for during my 3 week vacation. While Caeden cared for her at his home, she almost did not want to go home with me after he spoiled her. Appeared that she had eaten well and was even clean upon picking her up. I would definitely use Caeden again to care for my LuLu either at their home or even at my residence as he appears to be a very responsible pet lover.”
