Pet Sitting in Argenta

“Jessica was wonderful as always! She was very communicative and even went above and beyond by taking my dog for a walk and helping clean up when he had an accident. She is very appreciated and absolutely recommended!”

“Terri exceeded my expectations. This was my first time using Rover, so I didn’t know what to expect and was slightly nervous leaving my dog with someone who isn’t family (which is what I normally do). Terri went above and beyond. I received regular updates with pictures. If she thought we needed to make adjustments so my pets would be more comfortable, she reached out and let me know what the plan was. I was able to truly relax on vacation because I knew my animals were being well taken care of. Terri is the best and I will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Ashley has had about 4 drop in visits with my pets and I am pleased with how it’s gone! Very attentive and caring.”

About: I have taken care of just about any animal you can think of. I was a veterinary assistant for 4 years. I am 25 years old and currently finishing my bachelor’s degree online at SIUE. I am a teaching assistant for the local school district now! However, I really miss seeing pets all the time so I would love to pet sit for you! I have my own fur babies but I love to meet new pets and build connections with them as well as their owners! I am currently working part time as a nanny and looking to add more pet sitting clients to my workload! I am in college and trying to save money for my future and pet sitting is a very flexible way for me to do that, plus I enjoy it so much! I always love to spend quality time with the animals I am caring for, it helps them to become more comfortable and makes it more enjoyable for me as well! I like to learn the little things that each pet I take care of likes most and use that to bring them comfort and joy while I am caring for them!

About: I have had fur pets since I was 4 years old. I love cats and dogs! I have experience feeding, bathing, walking, clipping nails (cats), bottle feeding and giving all the pets they need! Pets are a part of the family to me. I have 2 cats and 1 dog and they all sleep with me at night. I’ll take good care of your fur baby too. I am a mom to both human and fur babies so pet care is a daily routine naturally for me. My work schedule is pretty flexible which would allow me to visit your pet a few times a day. I will follow your rules for your pet to the best of my abilities. I am familiar with feeding dry food and canned food to both cats and dogs. I enjoy playing fetch and giving good scratches to your furry friends!

“We really loved having Heidi to help out with our pups! This was our first time using Rover, so it was a little new for us. Heidi was super accommodating with great communication and reliability even when we needed to add last minute drop-ins. She went above and beyond in taking care of our pups and we couldn't ask for a better first experience. We will definitely be checking Heidi's availability the next time we plan a trip out of town!”

About: I have cared for pets of my own and friends for over 25 years. I look forward to assisting you with your pet needs while you are away! I am currently working a flexible job that allows me to satisfy almost any schedule needs for your furry family member. I am excited for the opportunity to serve. I am very detail oriented, I am able to follow your instructions well, or if you just want to provide a simple list of feeding times and amounts, I can make up the rest as we go. I love to walk and play with your pet.

“Reliable and friendly, I can tell from the check in photos that my dog is happy to see Brooklynn each day.”

About: I’ve been around dogs from the moment I was born. I am genuine with dogs and I have the experience of dog sitting and knowing what comes with it. I’m not afraid of poop, pee, or vomit. I know how to handle emergencies and follow owner’s instructions and routines closely. I’m available early mornings. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have more than enough time to play with your pets! I get off at 3:45 every weekday. I have more flexibility on every second/third Wednesday. I am also a Senior in college, studying to get my bachelor’s degree but I am taking my courses online so scheduling would not be a problem. Every dog I ever has become an inside dog. I think of dogs as my children so they’re more than welcome to be on couches and be inside. I also am able to keep dogs outside if thats what the owner prefers.

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors dogs for years as they were not physically able to take them on walks. I’ve always had dogs of my own growing up. I am currently available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends. I am flexible with times and schedules that work best for you and your pup. I will accommodate to your pets need and what fits their personality best! I know every pup is different and I’m looking forward to meeting your fur baby.

About: I have experienced taking care of senior dogs especially with vision issues. I can give oral medication. I used to worked at a doggie daycare. I’m currently working at the Devon part time. In the summer I’m available most days between 10 am to 3 pm. On the days I’m not working at the Devon I’m available from 10 am to 7 pm. I have a fenced in yard at my house. At clients house if no fenced yard I can take them for a walk or play with them inside to help get their energy out.

About: I have a lot of pet care experience from pet sitting, drop-ins, caring for medical disabled dog, pet walking. I am ready to love your pet like it’s my own and let you relax knowing your baby is in the best hands! I love to send pic updates of your pet and I playing and having fun! I have watched family members pets, neighbors pets and people I just met through referral. I am also happy to bathe your pet if requested. I had a 165lb Rottweiler, so now it seems like I can do anything! :) I work remotely and can take my work anywhere! Need me at your house during the day? I can do that as long as you can share your Wi-Fi with me! :) I have plenty of time to look after your pet and I am so excited to meet them! I am able to crate your dog safely if needed and request by you. I also will ensure when we go on walks that your pet is away from other pets to avoid any form of conflict.

“Brittney is fantastic! She has helped us during a couple of travels taking care of our cat. Super formal and great adaptability. Definitely we recommend her and looking forward to continue working with her.”

About: I have been an animal lover since I was a kid. Rescuing chickens, rabbits, cats, horses - you name it! In my adult life, I took some time away from pets while obtaining my Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry. The first thing I did after relocating to Decatur, IL for my job, was adopt an unwanted adult shelter cat that resided at Animal Control for months, Spider. He is still with me - 11 years later. I have learned the reasons why Spider was surrendered. It inspired me to get involved with animal rescue in the community. I have adopted and fostered puppies, dogs, kittens, and cats. I have probably dealt with nearly every type of cat or most cat disabilities at this point - and if not, am extremely willing and able to learn. My feline resume includes sight and hearing impaired, sick, diabetes, incontinence, behavioral issues, MORE... I am a huge believer of positive reinforcement training for dogs. If you follow dominance training or negative reprimanding, we will not get along. I have taken two doggos through AKC CGC certification awards and other courses. My personal dog, Timber, suffers from several health issues including hypertension - which caused enucleation of both eyes; chronic rhinitis; and gingival hyperplasia. I am very used to paying attention to the subtle signs of dogs when medical issues arise. Currently, i am working from home, but transitioning back to in-person office work soon. When I return back to work, my schedule does offer a lunch break and reasonable flexibility. Interestingly, all of my puppy fostering has been pre-COVID/work-from-home! My home offers a fenced-in yard. We always walk pets on-leash. In side the home, we have options for crating and our home has several doors to close off rooms to create separate safe spaces, if needed. We also have several baby gates. Crating is very useful for at least feeding times. Our resident dog, Timber, eats in his crate, and he is trained to go there if he gets stressed - even though he is blind. I can often watch cats here in a spare room. Although, I do think cats are happiest at their homes with daily visits, if an option. In a client home, I would like to try to stick the schedule the pets are used to. Arranging a visit to understand the home layout, where things are kept, and meeting the pets are very important to me. I am happy to arrange multiple visits or stay at the house, depending on the needs of the clients and pet(s).

“Allie was great! She was great with my puppy and a genuine human being. I will definitely request a visit again.”

“Ben was great taking care of our cat with his medications and visits while we were gone for the week! Our cat was in a great mood when we returned and we relaxed while out of town know he was taken care of! Would definitely like to use his services again!”

About: Hi! My name is Rebekah! I love all animals especially dogs! Ive dog sat, cat sat, and watched other smaller animals as well. I had adopted a large pup named Bruce that was 8 years old when I got him. I loved him as my child and I promise to care for your dogs the same way I did Bruce! Believe me he was one big SPOILED baby. We went on long walks everyday. Unfortunately he was diagnosed with bone cancer. With covid I had the option to finish my school year from home and was able to care for him in his final months. RIP Bruce. 🙏 Where we are staying now does not allow pets or I would have dogs and bring my Hedgehog Beau over. I'm excited to meet your furry family members no matter the size. I work fulltime as a bank teller but I am available most days in the evening and on the weekends. Reach out about any scheduling questions. Trips to the park, hiking the trails, or just letting our noses take us whereever they do is a must! We can play fetch or whatever their favorite activites are. For the safety of your furry fam we will be avoiding other animals along the way.
