House Sitting in Alton

“Sarah was amazing! She housesat with my pup and my cat while I was out of town and I knew they were in such good hands the whole time! My pup can be nervous when first meeting new people and Sarah was so patient and sweet letting Remy warm to her in her own time showing before showing off her sassy silly self. My cat Sherlock has diabetes and Sarah did an excellent job giving him his insulin. She was super communicative throughout the stay and sent pictures of my little guys.”

“Elizabeth was wonderful. Couldn’t ask for a better person to sit with our Blackie. Those two bonded beautifully. She kept the house pristine and did extra things like watering our plants. We plan on using her services again whenever we are planning on being away. We highly recommend Elizabeth!”

About: Skilled pet sitter with 3 years of experience. I sincerely enjoy spending time with all animals and I strive to treat every cat or dog as if they were my own! Happy to help when and where I'm needed along with providing any critical care that may be required. Please know that I will gladly spoil your pet to the fullest extent (: I'm currently working part-time while also being in the Army National Guard! I tend to be free majority of the week and normally the weekends as well if I don't have drill. Please feel free to message me with any availability inquiries that you may have (: If boarding, I have a fenced in yard along with a spacious home that includes french doors that I can close off from the rest of my house in case I'm babysitting a small kitten or puppy that may require a watchful eye!

“Erika is fantastic with our dog, she has anxiety and Erika is very patient and loving with her. We love being able to go on a trip knowing that she is so well cared for - we would highly recommend Erika!”

About: I've taken care of pets since I was 9, but have been doing pet care professionally for 17 years. Dogs big and small, cats, and guiena pigs. I have a few flexible jobs, so it's easy to rearrange my schedule to work with your needs. I'm available for daily walks or home stays. I have upon occasion taken care a dog at my apartment that was crate trained, but typically the need has been to stay at the home home of the pet to keep them in the environment they are used to.

“Camila was great! She and Sundae hit it off first thing and I could tell both enjoyed each other’s company. Photos and updates were sent regularly and no issues at all during the stay. We hope to have Camila back again when we’re out of town again next, and I know Sundae would too! :)”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 15, and it’s truly second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, cuddles, administering meds, or just being a comforting presence, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. My experience includes overnight stays, drop-in visits, and extended care while pet parents are away. I understand that every animal has its own routine and personality, and I make it a priority to adapt to their needs so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Pet care is an easy fit in my daily routine because it’s something I genuinely love doing. I work with a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet’s needs—whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day drop-ins, or evening cuddle sessions. I plan my days around the animals I care for, making sure they get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Because I’m organized and communicative, you can count on timely updates and consistent care while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and routine become a part of mine while they’re in my care! In Your Home: When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding times, walk schedules, medication, or favorite toys and treats. I respect your space and treat your home with care, making sure your pet feels safe, secure, and loved while you’re away. I also provide regular updates, photos, and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. In My Home (if applicable): If your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I offer a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, relax, and feel at home. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment throughout the day. My home is quiet, safe, and perfect for pets who need a calm environment.

About: Pet sitting is not just a job for me, it’s my passion! I’m reliable and loyal. I have years of care experience with different animals. My main job is pet sitting. My schedule is very flexible and I have reliable transportation. I am currently watching several different pet babies, but will gladly try to fit yours in. I am very good at following instructions depending on different circumstances. No matter what those situations are, I will always have your pet’s best interest at heart.

About: When it comes to pet sitting, there are countless options available, but what truly sets me apart from others is a unique blend of experience, passion, and personalized service. I OFFER TAILORED CARE FOR EACH PET : I understand that each pet is unique, with their own personality, preferences, and needs. I take the time to get to know each animal, allowing me to tailor your care approach. Whether your baby is a shy kitty that needs extra gentle coaxing or an energetic dog that requires plenty of exercise, I customize my time with your furbabies to ensure each of them feel safe and loved. TOP NOTCH COMMUNICATION SKILLS : I prioritize open and honest communication with my clients. I keep you updated with regular messages ,photos, and videos to assist in reassuring you that your furry family members are in great hands. Being able to provide detailed reports on your pet's behavior and well- being makes me a reliable choice. EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE AND TRAINING : My background in pet care began at a very early age. I've also studied animal psychology and communication and that coupled with my empathy and compassion towards all animals allows me to stand out from the rest of the sitters on here. I am well versed in animal behavior, health, and safety protocols, enabling me to handle emergencies calmly and effectively. My expertise gives you the peace of mind knowing your furbaby is cared for by someone with vast knowledge on the animal kingdom. COMPASSIONATE AND TRUSTWORTHY : My genuine love for animals shines through in everything I do. My clients can sense my compassion and dedication, fostering a strong bond of trust. I prioritize the emotional well-being of not only the animals I care for but also the pet parents. I take your decision to trust me with one of your, if not most precious blessings in life very seriously and would never do anything to compromise that in any way. I know how stressful it can be leaving your babies and I do everything I can to make this experience as easy and as pleasant as possible. FLEXIBLE AND AVAILABLE : I understand you may have a diverse schedule with varying needs. I offer flexible scheduling options and last minute availability. The ease of my adaptability ensures I can accommodate a wide range of requests, making it easier for you to find the right care for your pets. ENGAGING ACTIVITIES AND SOCIALIZATION : I go beyond basic care by providing engaging activities and socialization opportunities for pets. Interactive playtime, daily walks/runs, and enriching exercise that stimulates your furbaby's mind. This ensures your pets are not only cared for but also entertained and happy. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: I am in the developmental stages of founding a non-profit organization that caters to elder animals ensuring they're loved and cared for during their final days. This is leading to a collaboration between the senior adults in our community who are looking for companionship as well. If you're interested or know someone who could benefit from this service then please let me know! PERSONAL TOUCH : Lastly, my approach is marked by a personal touch. I remember specific details about each pet, such as favorite toys, treats , or routines, and I always incorporate those into my care. My attention to detail allows you to feel confident that your pet is receiving the best possible care. I am currently taking a short break from work and will be returning on January 1, 2025. That doesn't mean I won't be available after that because of remote work and having an extremely flexible schedule but my 18 year old son will be stepping in more to provide intermittent care through out the day once I work full-time as a Small Business Consultant A sneak peek into our DAILY ROUTINE: Morning care: Every morning I take the dogs for a 30 minute or longer walk. I believe that a good start to the day sets the tone for both pets and their parents. Upon returning to the house it's breakfast time and then a play session. Midday Visits : For clients that need daytime check-ins, I schedule visits that include feeding, playtime, and bathroom breaks. Evening Engagements : In the evenings, I dedicate time to provide additional walks, cuddles, and play sessions, ensuring that the furbabies receive ample attention and care. This is essential for their emotional well-being. Through out the week I maintain flexibility in my schedule to accommodate your pet's unique needs. Whether it's regular visits, overnight stays, or special requests, I am here to support you and your pet's routine. In addition to my routine, I truly believe in fostering a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your furry family. I am passionate about providing the best care possible and treat every pet as of they were my own. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your pet's specific needs ,please don't hesitate to reach out. I'll always be here to ensure that you and your pet feel at ease. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter! I follow your care instructions and if you entrust that to me I will discuss with you a care plan. Each pet is unique and will have their unique needs.

“Alexa has been everything we needed in a pet sitter! It was our first time away on an extended vacation, and my nerves and guilt were through the roof! It didn’t take long for me to see how much my cat adores Alexa and was doing perfectly fine without us. AND! We’ve received some of the best pictures of our cat that we’ve ever had! Thank you, Alexa! As long as you are available, we will always book you.”

About: I’ve taken care of my own/family animals since childhood. That includes mainly dogs, cats and horses. I have experience in basic training at all dog ages, medication administration and basic grooming. PET care can fit into my schedule weekly and daily depending on the person’s needs. I primarily work as a firefighter and have a large window to work with clients. When it comes to my own animals they are very regimented. They walk at certain times and go out to potty at certain times. I also reinforce training by going light training everyday. When taking care of others pets I like to ask what they are normally like so that I can match that animals expectations.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life—there’s never been a time I didn’t have at least one dog or cat by my side. I currently have a large German Shepherd and a sweet cat, so I’m very used to managing different energy levels, personalities, and needs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who just need a little extra patience and care. I’m also comfortable administering medications, including pills, ear drops, and topical treatments. I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own—with love, attention, and lots of cuddles! As a stay-at-home wife, I have plenty of time and flexibility in my daily routine to give pets the attention and care they need. Whether it’s going on walks, keeping up with feeding schedules, giving medication, or just spending quality time playing or cuddling, I’m available throughout the day to make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Overnight stays are never a problem—I’m home most of the time, so your pet will have constant companionship, comfort, and care, even at night. My home is a pet-friendly, loving environment where pets feel safe and cared for. With a large dog and a cat of my own, I understand the unique needs and personalities of different pets. I provide plenty of walks, outdoor time, indoor play, cuddles, and basic training using positive reinforcement. I prioritize creating a calm, happy space where pets get the attention, exercise, and love they need every day. I bring this same level of care, attention, and affection to your pet’s home, ensuring they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have owned and looked after dogs for most of my life. I absolutely love interacting with animals and have been responsible for up to 4 dogs at a time for overnight sitting. I own a large dog, and am comfortable with most all sizes and breeds. I currently work part-time, so my schedule may vary slightly from time to time, but I am always sure that any changes are reflected in my booking availability. I have 3 dogs (two small, one large-two females, one male). All 3 are extremely friendly and LOVE to play (their favorite is tug-of-war :) )

“Addy is my best friend and I felt so comfortable leaving him with Tyler. Tyler took great care of him and Addy really took to him, Thank you Tyler for giving us a relaxing care-free evening away!”

About: I love dogs so I am able to give them proper care with ease. Your dog will be fed, safe, and happy with me. I am home full time. I am qualified in giving medications as I am an LPN currently at home between travel assignments. I am active and will play with and walk your baby daily. I am also very exact with following the instructions you leave for your doggo. My customers love that I send pictures at the end of everyday your dog is with me along with an update on how everything went. I have a passion for providing care whether it’s to humans or your pet 🥰. I can keep, bottle feed, and administer shots or any other meds you have. While I love cats too I prefer not to service them specifically. I will care for hamsters, Guinea pigs, fish, ferrets, and rabbits ! I hope to meet your fur babes soon! With love, Kiara I am a Licensed Practical Nurse currently off from a travel assignment. I’m at home all day tending to the pets I keep. My dog of 10 beautiful years passed away recently and I enjoy spending time with animals as I am not ready for another pet of my own just yet. I have no pets of my own so your baby will be the center of attention 😍. More one on one love, they won’t even notice you’re away. My Apartment complex also features a large gated dog park for some outside fun

About: I have four years of veterinary medicine experience. I currently work full-time at a vet clinic where I interact with dogs and cats daily. I’m experienced in giving oral medication and injections. I have always had dogs and cat of my own. I currently have five dogs, three cats, and a hamster! I couldn’t see myself not working around animals, so it would be a pleasure of mine to care for and play with your pets! I work full-time during the week at a veterinary office. However, I will be able to step away at times to care for your pet as needed! My shifts end at 4 and my afternoons are open to all your pets needs. I will care for your pets in your home just as you do! I will take them potty regularly and play with them depending on age and activity levels. Of course, lots of snuggles are a must if your pet so desires:)
