“Kelly was very easy to work with and we trusted her to stay at our house for over a week to take care of our two dogs. She followed the instructions we provided and took especially good care of our 25 year old dog who is on seizure medication. We will definitely use her services again the next time we have the need for a dog sitter. Thank you Kelly!”


“Riley was a blessing to our house. Theo and Daisy love her. It was wonderful to see my fur babies go to her and be so relaxed. Taking such good care of them, while staying in their environment to help them feel more at ease. They had just gone through a move and being home was important to their wellbeing. Thank you so much for alleviating so much stress from me plate. We look forward to our next vacation, knowing you are their special person.”


“Caeden took excellent care of our dog and house while we were away. Communication and response time was all good and we were comfortable having him in our home. This was our first time using Caeden but we will definitely be booking him again.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, high-energy pups, leash pullers, shy seniors, and everything in between. I worked at a boarding facility where I was trained to administer medication to cats and dogs, and watch for signs of serious illness such as bloat. I also house and pet sit regularly for family friends as well as take care of my Sheepadoodle and two cats at home. 🖤🤍 Your pet will be in loving and capable hands with me! 💞🐾 (P.S. I love animal photography! so expect lots of pictures of your pet 😉) I currently work part time with just four hour shifts so your fur baby would not have to be alone for long! I'll be plenty available to spend time with your pet and keep them safe and happy! I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs including feeding, walking, playtime, medications, and plenty of belly rubs included! I keep routines consistent to reduce stress and always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and comfort. I also monitor for any signs of illness or distress and communicate updates so you always know your pet is in good hands. I have plenty of experience with all types of dogs and know what's best for your pet to keep them safe and happy!

“Janel took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town. She kept us informed, took him on walks and spent lots of extra time with him. Janel is very responsible and we were super comfortable having her in our home. I highly recommend!”


About: I’ve always loved animals and have a passion for taking care of them. I have an older dog and a cat at home, so I’m used to giving pets lots of love, attention, and the extra care seniors need. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I am currently a full time student at Lewis and Clark Community College so I have plenty of time to care for animals on the side! When I’m caring for pets on walks or in your home, I always make sure they feel comfortable and safe. On walks, I’ll go at their pace, make sure they stay hydrated, and give them plenty of time to sniff and explore. In your home, I’ll stick to their normal routine, give them lots of love and attention, and keep things clean and calm so they feel right at home even while you’re away.

About: Hi, thank you so much for stopping by to read through my profile. I’m stoked to start this journey. I have loved and taken care of friend’s and family’s dogs for years. Big, small, medium, even tempered, wild, mellow, I absolutely love them all. I have a 11 year old black lab, who’s slowed down a lot. She is my everything. She just can’t move like she used to and I find something about raising a dog from a young pup to an aging one, so very special and rewarding. If your dog is fast paced or likes to smell every blade of grass, I’m game. Rain, shine, or snow, I’m available. I’d absolutely appreciate it if you gave me the opportunity to spoil your dog, not just walk. I understand these are your babies. My house is also open with a fenced in back yard and lots of attention and love offered. Let me know what questions or concerns you might have! I work Monday-Friday, I am free in the evenings and off on Thursdays typically. I’m free on most holidays like Thanksgiving(so keep that in mind).** I am free on most weekends. ** Also please note, I’m willing to travel to MO from IL side. My house is open and I have a great fenced in area. Your dog will be spoiled rotten over here. Lots of pets and attention. I also know how important a walk is to a dog, it’s the highlight of their day! We’d make the most of it.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs every kind for as long as I can remember weather it was for my parents, friends and neighbors. They have trusted in me to make sure they being taken care of I’m currently a stay at home mom and have plenty of time on my hands to care for your fur babies and I’ve also grown up my whole life with animals in my house I have a fenced in yard and and a 6 month old puppy that will keep your fur baby company. I love to play with fur babies

“We couldn't be happier with Brogan! We were away for a long weekend and she looked after our dog, Darla. Brogan sent us lots of pictures, texts, and info on how they were all getting along. It definitely made me feel little to no concern about how things were going back home and I was able to enjoy my trip. Darla is a reactive dog and strong as well. Brogan worked so well with her on the leash and wasn't at all uncomfortable. Lots of communication before we left as well and totally responsible with the house. We're already hoping to book her again! 15 stars!! ☺️”


“Jaelyn was terrific with my fur-babies. They all loved her so much! I would get home and Molly would be asleep in her lap, Charlie squished up between her and a blanket and Peanut within easy reach for a scritch here and there! Even Lucy, my miss independent would cuddle with Jaelyn! She would definitely be welcomed back to care for my littles.”


About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. I have predominantly had dogs and cats. I treat all animals with the utmost love and care. I have had pets through full life cycle so I understand the varying needs based on age. I currently work full time but am off Friday through Sunday so looking for people that need weekend help. I would also be a le to do some evenings during the week. I have a fenced yard and work from home so my dogs are well taken care of. I have the ability to watch, play with, walk and feed animals in your home. I would gladly follow any routine and instructions you have.

About: I bring a unique blend of patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals that helps me quickly build trust with both pets and their people. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs whether that means keeping a playful pup busy or making sure a senior dog feels safe and comfortable. Here’s a bit about my experience: • Puppy care, leash walking, and reinforcing basic commands • Senior dogs, with gentle handling, slower-paced walks, and medication routines • Special needs pets, providing calm, detail-oriented care • Administering medications (oral, topical, and injectable) • Multi-pet households, managing dynamics so everyone gets love and attention I always prioritize communication I’ll send regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I truly treat every animal as if they were my own, creating a calm and loving environment while you’re away. I’m planning to transition out of my hourly job and become a full-time sitter while in school. Balancing classes and work can be a lot, but pet care has always been something that brings me joy and helps me decompress. I carefully plan my schedule to make sure I’m fully present and attentive with every pet I care for. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I’m committed to providing consistent, loving, and reliable care that fits both your pet’s needs and my routine. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and engaging environment that matches each pet’s routine and comfort level. In my home, I keep things clean, pet-proofed, and stocked with toys, cozy spaces, and outdoor access for breaks and playtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific habits or routines. I make sure pets feel secure and loved, whether they’re in familiar surroundings or visiting mine.

“Lette did an amazing job with house sitting and watching our Emma girl. During her stay she kept us updated and even sent some precious pictures of our Emma. She was in constant communication with us. We highly recommend and will definitely book her again in the future!”


About: I’ve always grown up around dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and etc. A dog is more than just an animal, they are a part of the family. Im a dental assistant and love helping people achieve the confidence to smile again. Im 22 years old and still live with my parents so this is a great side hustle to save money to move out eventually. At home we have a basset hound named Maggie that’s three years old, an Australian Shepard named Ranger that is also three years old, a Yorkie Shih Tzu named Trixie that is about 15 years old (yeah I know she’s basically deaf and blind but old girl is still kicking it), and then two cats that we rescued on the side of the road named Stormi & Klondike! I also have chickens & ducks! Let me dogsit your fur baby 🥰 I’m currently working at a private dental office located in Staunton, IL Monday-Thursday. Usually when I dog sit for a family friend or just anyone in general I stay at their house with the dog(s) so they feel comfortable in their own environment. My work hours are as followed; Monday & Thursday: 7-4pm (lunch 12-1pm) Tuesday 8-6pm (lunch 1-2 or 2-3pm) and Wednesday 7-1pm. I am a reliable and a caring person to watch your fur babies! I usually stay at the clients house so the pet is in a familiar environment and won’t get over stimulated. Every dog is different and so I usually meet the clients and/or the dog(s) so they are somewhat familiar with me and aren’t frightened by a stranger while their loved ones are away.

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats my entire life, and I love them both deeply. I’ve also babysat cats and dogs of all sizes, done plenty of walking, feeding, and administered meds to both. Whether it’s me dropping in to take your dog potty or to pet your cat for 30 minutes straight - I will treat them with the love and care they deserve. I work remotely, so I can drop in or walk your dog basically anytime! Weekends, I can spend multiple hours with your babies or pop in on them every 4-6 hours. I’m a firm believer in making the animal comfy, usually by letting them come to me first for a greeting. I become fast friends with every animal I’ve cared for, so after that it’s about consistent check-ins with the fur babes to ensure their needs are met.

About: I have grown up taking care of dogs and cats my whole life! As long as I can remember I’ve walked fed and took care of different pets. Dedicated Teacher & Loving Pet Sitter!” I’m a teacher in East Alton with a flexible schedule, happy to stop by before or after school, in the evenings, or even stay overnight to give your pets the care (and snuggles!) they deserve. Walks, Playtime & Snuggles—Let’s Go!” Whether it’s running around a fenced yard, going for a nice walk, or playing indoors, I’m all about keeping tails wagging and kitties purring! Need crating? No problem—I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy.

About: Hey there! My name is Saama, and I would love to care for your fur babies. II have always been surrounded with dogs, I grew up with them so they are just part of my essential. So technically, my experience with them goes way past 10 years but I officially began pet sitting 10 years ago. Furthermore, I have 3 dogs that are my own, 2 big boys and a third medium one. Waldo is my yellow lab, Mootz is my golden and Bubba is my cattle dog. I am very familiar with caring for dogs and cats of all ages. Mootz, is a special needs dog that requires intense care and I have crafted my life to ensure I am able to provide that level of care. Animals are filled with so much love and I am privileged to be able to provide them for a place to feel safe and loved back. If you have any concerns or questions or require any special accommodations, please do not hesitate to reach out. Caring for your pets is priority. They will always be treated as family because that’s what our fur babies are. I am a pre-med student who is taking a break from school for a while. During this time, i am setting up my own company so my work is extremely flexible and being that my team consists of people from around the world, I usually work different hours. This allows me immense flexibility because I am rarely required to be someplace at a specific time. In part, I have created this schedule so that I can reserve all my time for my babies and yours! I truly believe that pets are more precious than we are and with their lives being far too short, I want to provide them with the best, this is why, I don’t really have restrictions in my home. They are free to rest wherever they would like. That being said, if their habits are different in your home, I will ensure to reinforce that within my home as well so that they have a consistent lifestyle. I have a fully fenced-in yard, a puppy gate within the home to block of stairs and avoid accidents, and I also have a gate in front of my door to ensure complete safety. We have plenty of toys, grooming supplies, and pet care supplies. I also have a Furbo Nanny camera in my home that alerts me to any activity. I promise to provide a safe and loving environment for your pets.
