About: I have been providing animal care services to friends and family for years and love it! I prioritize keeping the family pets safe and comfortable. I have spent time with all kinds of dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I know how important family pets are and that's why communication is a top priority. I provide frequent check-ins and photos if requested! :) With several years of experience, I'm a trusted companion for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I offer flexible scheduling, attentive care, and a genuine love for animals! I know every animal and family is unique, so let me know your individual needs and requests and I am happy to accommodate. I am available Monday-Friday and on the weekends! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible; I have client appointments every so often but am available most of the time. I have a fenced in yard and love to stay active so I'm happy to go on plenty of walks with your pup(s)! I am attentive and genuinely love playing with dogs as well as giving them the attention they need to be happy.

About: Hands on care, including feeding, walking, and administering meds, while emphasizing responsibility and attention to detail in maintaining a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for your pet. I have a very flexible schedule during the week and weekends. I proactively plan and can adjust to your schedule to accommodate owner or dogs needs.

Godfrey, IL, 62035

About: I provide pet sitting in my home for puppies and small dogs (under 20 lbs). I also provide drop in services to your home and dog walking. My son and I have have been dog walking and sitting for others in the Riverbend area for the past 10 years. I LOVE traveling so I know how important (and difficult) it is to find a dog sitter you can trust and rely on while you're gone. I love all dogs and enjoy meeting new clients whether I am dropping in for visits or walks or boarding in my home. Please reach out with any questions. I am a mother of two adult children and work a hybrid schedule. I have lots of free time and have been dog walking and sitting for over 10 years with my son. We started dog walking and sitting together when he was 12 and he will be starting college soon and I want to continue our side business on my own. We have 2 acres on a cul-de-sac in Godfrey and enjoy talking walks. We have a large home that is safe and dog friendly. I can also do drop-ins while you are away.

About: I can train dogs I’ve trained many in the past and even mine ! Potty train walking on the leash bad behavior with aggressive eating and trained them to be patient as well. I groom clip nails clear ears sometimes I even trim their hair down I’m well at what I do. I was asking God what is it I can do and all I think about is helping others with their animals if it’s Gods will for my life all will fall into place and if your dog needs training I am that person to help you we can make appointments and I can help you with your pet. Your pet will need to have all his or her vaccinations including flea and tick prevention to keep all the animals safe and mines. They have to be crate trained at least and I can do the rest if not I can work on crate training as well. But I will prefer them to be crate trained. Although i pray in Jesus name you pick me to take care of your pets. Cats aren’t allowed in my home my husband is allergic I can only do dogs God bless and Jesus loves you all !!! Every morning I wake to take my pets outside around 6am every morning, I let them play outside sometimes we go on walks depending on the conditions of the weather if it’s to hot then no if it’s to cold then no I try to go on days I know the weather will be okay enough to take walks but I have a big fenced in back yard so I have a lot of space in my back yard to let them all run around and be free. In my home I would do as I always do train feed take on walks when can and have a great time. Although if in a clients home I always follow their rules I use to do wag and I had a high rating I’ve actually helped people with their dogs when they were out on trips and or just at work and needed someone to take their dog outside and that’s what I did never had anyone complain. I am very trustworthy.

About: I love all breeds of dogs. I used to walk my neighbors doggies for fun when I was little. I've house sat for many friends with animals & plants for long periods of time. I've raised many puppies in my life time. I have two of my own that are now 2 and 5. They're everything to me. There's absolutely no better feeling than hearing the pitter patter of their feet on the floor as they're coming to attack me with love and kisses. I've never been without at least one dog in my household as long as I've been alive and I wouldn't have it any other way. I've also played sports my whole life so I love being active and playing games with the pups. I'm currently working part time so my availability is pretty open for the most part right now. I'm mainly unavailable after 4pm on Tuesdays and Fridays. I have two full sized crates at my home and a fenced in back patio with great sun for sunbathing. If I'm in your home, I'll respect your home as if it were mine & make sure the babies get soo much lot of love and attention. Picture/ video updates as often as you'd like. ❤️

About: I have been providing pet care personally and professionally since I was in high school. When I started, I genuinely just loved being around animals and wanted a way make an income while doing something I enjoyed. Years later and I still hold the same sentiment. My family and I have always welcomed dogs and cats into our homes and cared for them as additional kids in the household. I took a break from pet care to focus on building myself and my goals, but now as a homeowner of three years, I want to extend my home and services again to your fur babies. I work full-time, 100% remotely from home for a law firm located in Pennsylvania. I am always at home, especially during the weekdays, with my five pets. I have a flexible schedule and can arrange my work day accordingly. I am able to work with you and your pet's needs, so just communicate with me! I have a 0.3 acre fenced yard that my two dogs absolutely love to race around in. They get great exercise out there and are able to release their high energy. I am attuned to my animal's needs and provide a lot of supervision and care since I am usually at home. The same way that I would treat my own pets/home is exactly how I would treat and respect yours. I am reliable, punctual, and compassionate.

About: I have had my own pets since I was a young child. I have taken care of many of my friends, family, neighbors, and church members pets over the years. I love dogs and kitties and believe they deserve to be well taken care of. They depend on us to be good to them and are at our mercy. If they are mistreated they can't say anything. This makes it that much more important to be good to our pets. I am not currently working so I have a lot of free time. I have 6 grown children who are on thier own. Two in college, the rest with their own families. I have one friendly lab mix who loves playmates. A fenced in yard, doggie door, and all hardwood floors so accidents are not tragic! I am within walking distance of our city bike/walking trail for long doggie walks.

About: I have taken care of so many different dogs and cats and other pets since I was 10 years old. I have watched for friends and family and really enjoy spending time with pets. I work on reduced time at amazon so I work on Sundays, Monday and Tuesdays and then on thursdays and fridays I work at a dog boarding facility. I take care of pets in the clients home just because my dogs don't get along with other pets. But I give the pets 24 hour love and attention. I love taking dogs on walks and playing fetch with them. I also love when the dogs sleep with me at night. I can also take care of pets that have medications too.

Jenee did an amazing job taking care of our cats. Our Garfield and Morticia were always excited to see her and get pets. Our cats really enjoyed her company. She even went above and beyond to even feed and water the outside feral cats that like to take up residence on our porch. Next time we go out of town we will definitely be more than happy to have Jenee watch our cats. They will be in good hands.

About: I work at Metro East Humane Society and have handled both puppies and adult dogs of all sizes. I love all types of dogs and love working with them especially the shy ones! I currently work part time so I am available most of the time when I’m not working. I also have two of my own dogs and make sure I’m up early! I have been walking all types of dogs for the past year at the humane society, even the leash pullers and reactive dogs deserve to have their time outside. I have also learned to properly medicate dogs so if medications need to be given I can handle that as well.
