2. Kari L.
“Kari is an awesome pet sitter. I requested her service on short notice. She made accommodations for everything I needed. Buddy, my cat, absolutely loved visiting with her. I would highly recommend her for her professionalism and responsiveness. Additionally she was very respectful of my property, always here in a timely fashion, and gave buddy all of the attention and care he needed. My home was in fabulous shape when I got here after vacation.”

8. Chen W.
“Chen has been wonderful. I was anxious about being away from my cats when I was on my trip, but she was very communicative and understood all of our instructions. She has made sure to not only feed our cats but also make them as happy as they can be and that just shows how much she cares! We appreciate everything and would definitely book again. Thank you Chen and we loved the pictures! 🐱”
9. Jessica T.
“Excellent for a difficult situation with two cats that have only been cared for by two people the last 10 years. One cat that hid on every visit. She was still able to keep both of them fed and looking great on my return.”
10. Shaylin S.
“Shaylin has been absolutely amazing with my dog, Remi. She takes exceptional care of her, always ensuring she's happy, safe, and well-exercised. Shaylin's genuine love for animals really shines through, and I trust her completely with Remi. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and caring pet sitter.”
11. John G.
“John is an easy going, fun loving guy. He is very physically strong and has a great sense of humor. John has excellent morals and values. He’s kind, fair and compassionate. He’s always had dogs in his life and knows how to provide needed care for them. John follows instructions well and would be great on caretaker role for any animals”
12. Jenny H.
“As a nervous cat mom, I was worried about finding someone I could trust to care for Daisy. Jenny put me at ease immediately when we met and shared stories about her own cats I could relate to. I felt comfortable leaving Daisy knowing Jenny would take good care of her. Her notes about her visits were so helpful and Daisy was well fed and cared for when I returned. This was a wonderful experience for both Daisy and I.”
13. Danielle M.
“Terrific care and communication!”
14. Ashley T.
“Ashley is the best! She dog sits my four dogs regularly and provides a safe, comfortable environment for them. She also goes to my home to care for my cats, one of which has medical needs. My dogs love Ashley and her family and I would highly recommend her to care for your furbaby.”
15. Amanda W.
“Amanda is excellent. Not only is her communication top notch but so is the care and attention to detail she had for my cats/my asks (her 1st sitting was for 18 drop ins over 10 days). My pets loved her too, she is clearly an animal lover, they came right to her on the 1st visit. I highly recommend her.”
16. Heather S.
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.
17. Kaylee S.
“Kaylee was so patient and professional with our little guy. He endured past abuse so he is very timid with strangers, but he warmed up to her amazingly! Dogs are great judges of character! She kept in great contact and was so thorough! We will definitely use her in the future.”
18. Taylor D.
About: I've been around pets off and on my entire life. I have experience walking small and medium size dogs regularly, including putting on and taking off harnesses. I am not afraid to roll around on the floor and play with them. I am a firm believer in using dog communication, such as eye contact or lack thereof, and in keeping with the training that already started. If you always put a hand flat for sit, it means sit, if it means lay down, it means lay down. I follow your lead, you know your dog best. I'm currently in between jobs so I'm very consistently open, I will update my availability if something comes up for a day, and I hate letting people down so I pay close attention so I don't overbook myself. Consistency is key for most animals, I'm willing to work with you to maintain the status quo, so to speak, with your pets routine, food, and training.
19. Maria L.
“Maria has been dog/house sitting for us for a long time. She is trustworthy, professional and very loving to our dog. She always keeps us posted and sends pictures so we can enjoy our vacation knowing that our dog is well taken care of. She takes him on walks and keeps him entertained. We know he loves it when Maria is watching him. I highly recommend Maria for your dog and house sitting needs”
20. Vivian G.
“Vivian was very responsive and spent loads of time with my pup over her drop in visits. She took care of everything that I asked for perfectly.”
