House Sitting Augerville

“Bri is so great! She sent me updates and pictures throughout the trip. It felt good knowing I had someone I trust watching my pups while I was out of town.”

About: I have been trusted with the responsibility of pet sitting since I was able to drive. Whether it is friends, family, neighbors, or friends of friends, I have always been someone my circle feels like they can depend on to take care of their homes & precious fur babies! I have experience with dog walking, house sitting, as well as drop by pet sitting. I have also been fortunate enough to have a dog of my own, Ginger, who is a 7 year old Bernadoodle! I am currently post grad working a part-time hybrid social media marketing position in town that only requires me to be on-site 2-3 days a week. Getting to spend time with animals during my down time would be a dream come true for me as I would feel great not only filling a need but getting to hangout with new fur friends while I do it! I will ensure your pet is consistently cared for and is provided with everything they may need. It is my goal to help them stay on their normal routine as much as possible while you are gone. They will be fed regularly, always have fresh water, and always be given the loving they deserve!

“Kylie was such a blessing to us!! My dogs got along with her wonderfully. She communicated great from the very first message until the last hour we had her scheduled!! She made it so much easier to enjoy our family vacation without worrying if our 4-legged family members were doing ok. We would definitely use her again!!!”

“Cory was very responsive and attentive to our dog and cat while we were away. He asked lots of good questions, had some good suggestions for our very energetic dogs and we felt confident that the animals were in good hands.”

Dawn C.

“Kimberly was great with my Lab Mix. She sent updates from their walks, and remembered specific details about Leroy and his habits. She also got him to walk with a harness, which I had not been able to do.”

Anna C.

“Mark was fantastic! We were out of town for nearly a week the first time Mark house/dog-sat (he had previously walked our pup), and Mark handled everything. Most importantly, our dog loves him! But Mark also brought in the mail, kept an eye on things around the house during some large storms, and communicated with us regularly. The day we were coming home, Mark was willing to stay later during a tornado watch when our flights were delayed. He also left the house very clean in terms of dishes and laundry, which was not required but a nice way to come back from a trip. We will definitely be using Mark again in the future!”

“Jaida was excellent. She gave me updates daily on how Archie was doing and sent pictures. If something was off she asked me if it was normal. I will book her again.”

“Paige is amazing! She really went above and beyond taking care of our babies! We got multiple updates daily with pictures. She took them on walks, snuggled with them and loved them like they were her own. On our meet and greet, she paid such good attention to instructions and followed them to a T. Her staying overnight in our house with our 2 dogs (one who is deaf) gave us such peace of mind while we were away! We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her for anyone’s pet/s!”

Karen F.

“We found Lorri on Rover while looking for a new sitter after moving from out of state. Our two dogs were especially sensitive after changing homes and routines, and we can’t believe the strides they made while in her care! She sent thoughtful detailed daily updates with pictures and let us know about all the “wins” she was celebrating with our very anxious pup, Pepper. It’s clear she is a natural with animals and is so patient and compassionate with them. Our house was well taken care of and I could tell our dogs were her priority while we were away—could not have asked for anything more. Will absolutely book Lorri again and would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve taken care of and have had my own cats and dogs my whole life as well as helping take care of my families and neighbors dogs whether they be out of town or just needing the extra help with busy or late nights. I have experience with a variety of dogs small and large. I am available to dog/house sit, walks, or check ins. I do not have experience in training dogs. I do also work with children 8-4 PM and so will have limited availability during the weekdays 💕 I am available for weekends. I do work with children 8-4 pm on weekdays so I do have limited availability Monday-Friday but can always make time afterwards to help 💕 I personally treat my pets like they are my children and I intend on treating all animals I encounter with the same amount of love and respect. I just kindly ask to communicate any routines or needs and I will gladly respect that 😁

About: I have been a pet owner for many years of both cats and dogs. I have raised them from puppy/kittens to adults. I also was a personal assistant and part of the responsibilities was feeding and taking care of the pet's needs. I haven't had a career focused on pet care but I love animals and have had them in my life all the time. I work full time as a social worker, but I can walk pets or feed them during the week after 5pm and I have weekends free for pet care. I do not offer boarding but I am a very responsible person and will follow all instructions you have to ensure your pet is properly taken care of.

About: I have had animals since I was in elementary school so my experience with them are more than intermediate. In addition, during my younger years I’ve been exposed to many animals even exotic ones so my love for animals is huge. As of now I do work a full time job that has a different schedule every week. But I am accommodating to include pet care into the schedule I already have for both work and home schedule. My cats are strictly indoor as I do not believe in indoor/ outdoor cats due to many safety hazards. If watching a clients cat I would be doing the same or only allow outside time if there is a screened in porch and I would be supervising them. As for dogs I believe the same, as leaving a dog outside unsupervised I do not believe in.

“Bailey and her fiancé were very responsible and communicative! During the stay, Bailey had an allergic reaction to something in our house so couldn’t stay overnight, but she offered instead to complete frequent drop-ins and ultimately made sure our dog was well taken care of. I’m very grateful!”

About: I bring years of hands-on animal care experience from veterinary clinics, kennels, and long-term pet sitting, including special-needs care for a senior dog who requires diapers, hourly potty breaks, medication management, and a strict diet. My background in veterinary support and my 5-year commitment to caring for three dogs from one family means I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and fully comfortable supporting pets with complex routines. I treat every animal with patience, confidence, and genuine love, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because, with school wrapping up, I have plenty of time to focus on consistent, reliable visits. I plan my days around each pet’s needs, keeping feeding, walks, and medications on schedule while balancing a few prior commitments on set days. For the most part, I’m available daily, which allows me to offer flexible booking, dependable check-ins, and attentive pet-focused care that never feels rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly, keeping feeding, meds, and potty schedules consistent while maintaining a calm, clean environment. I provide gentle companionship, monitor behavior and health closely, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and reassured. My goal is to respect the home, reduce stress, and ensure every pet feels safe and understood.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters? I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s a slow walk for an older pup or high-energy playtime for a young one, I meet animals where they are. I have two dogs of my own—Theo and Sage—so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. Beyond personal experience, I have a BA in animal science and I’m currently in the process of earning my master’s degree in Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication, with a focus on companion animals. I also work as an assistant educator, so I bring a calm, thoughtful approach to every visit. I’m confident administering medications, caring for nervous or senior pets, and yes—I genuinely don’t mind deep-cleaning litter boxes. I treat every animal like family, with patience, care, and a whole lot of love I’m currently working full time until 3pm. However Whether it’s morning walks, meal times, or evening play sessions, I’m used to planning my day around pets’ needs. I live in a three-story townhouse with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable—whether they want to play or have their own quiet area. My own dogs are friendly, but I can easily keep pets separate if needed. I also have some dog training experience, so I’m confident handling different temperaments and routines. Your pet will be safe, loved, and well cared for here or in your home! I do ask that your pet be crate trained and doesn't bark in the crate since I do live very close to neighbors.

“Madie was amazing. We had a last minute conflict with our dog sitter and she came to the rescue. It was our first time using someone who was not family watching her. She came to our house on Thanksgiving to do a meet and greet which greatly decreased our hesitation about using someone else to watch our fur baby. Madie went above and beyond what we could have asked for. She was professional and extremely kind. She cared for Stella as if she were her own. We will definitely be using her again! Cannot recommend her enough.”

About: I have walked neighbors dog for a couple of years now. I got my first dog sitting job when I was 13. I also was a nanny for 4 years for a family with a dog who I took care of daily. I have 2 cats, and a puppy that I adore! I am currently a graduate student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I’m free most afternoons and most weekends as well! Please reach out if you are interested! I am very attentive to each animals needs. I am always punctual when it comes to walking, feeding, and playing to ensure the animal is the happiest they can be. I am responsible for my cats at home by feeding and cleaning litter daily. I take my dog on walks and play with her. When I was a nanny I always made sure the walk the dog as long as he needed and find ways to show him extra love and attention when I could (:

“Jenna stayed at our home for 8 days while we were on vacation. She took excellent care of our pug Cookie and our two chinchillas. She is very conscientious and communicative with any questions. I felt such relief having her take care of things for us while we were away. Thank you Jenna!!!”

About: Long time fur dad and lifelong lover of animals. Have personal and professional experience with a vast variety of dog breeds. Well versed in training and obedience should you need it. Your cats and other critters will love me too, even reptiles! Currently I have a dog, cat, and two chinchillas. As a local realtor my schedule is very flexible so I can give your pets lots of time and attention. I work from home so your pet(s) are never unsupervised while here. I'm available Monday-Sunday to give your pet the concierge level of care they deserve. Not knowing where you are can be stressful for pets. I do my best to make sure your pet is at ease and has fun while you are away. I live near a lake and trails that make for some great walking. If your pet needs to be in a kennel while sleeping that is no problem, otherwise they are welcome on the furniture like my own pets are. My dog is very friendly, non-dominant, and loves having a buddy to romp around with. The cat will ignore them.
