“Julie was great with my kitty. He had never been around other cats or dogs before and she made sure to give him his own room while he slowly adjusted to being around other animals. She sent pictures and videos daily. Louie had a great time!”

About: One of my favorite things in life is animals! I’ve grown up with pets and know just how important they are. Pet care is more than a side gig to me because of how much I love all pets! I’m a Music Performance major at WIU. I play Tuba and Bass in many ensembles. In the summer, my schedule is very available. During school, I can be very flexible. I live in a pet friendly apartment and currently have no pets. There is a big yard outside the complex. You can trust me to take care of your pet in your home or my own. I care greatly no matter the home.
“Coree was reliable, friendly and took great care of my cat, Flipper. I was gone for a week and she came in daily to care, feed and play. I will use her again and would recommend 👌 her to Ft. Madison, Iowa area residents.”
“Alicyn was great! My cat was happy, healthy, and enthusiastic when I returned from more than a month away. She sent me pictures and updates and my cat was clearly having a great experience. I came home to full food and water bowls and a thriving cat. All seems to have gone very well and Alicyn achieved everything I wanted her to. Highly recommended - an excellent cat sitter!”

I have a great passion for caring for pets and making them feel loved. I am a college student so I am glad to take as much work as I can in between classes.

Every pet will be treated with love and respect in and out of closed doors. As far as your personal belongings go, I hope that you will trust me to keep all your possessions secured.
About: Experience with caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I have a passion for special needs, sick and elderly pets. While not in class I would love to watch your pet(s) and care for them. I recently moved from Chicago to Macomb to pursue school. I have a love for outdoors! Hiking and enjoying trails is one of my favorite hobbies I would love to include your furry friend on! I am a nurse part time and pre-medicine student. My husband, Carlos, works from home and is an even bigger pet lover than myself! My work schedule is “as needed” meaning I make my own schedule, making me flexible for pet parents! My job is also less than a mile from home making me available almost at all times! I have a very spacious one bedroom apartment. I have been told by HVAC and Xfinity people that it is the nicest, largest, one in Macomb. There are also plenty of parks and trails nearby for when your furry friend is ready to explore. I am a home body most days, but of course when the weather is nice that changes! I love to be outdoors. I work part time, while my husband works from home full time. I make my work schedule and can build it around clients needs. I also work a few minutes away allowing me to be home on breaks if need be! I believe in following the rules the pet parents set! This helps decrease anxiety for the pet! I respect all the rules and expectations set by the pet parent as they are in charge at the end of the day!

Logan M.
“Logan was hired to dog sit and house sit and he did a wonderful job. The house was kept as clean as when I left and my dog runs to play with him, wagging her tail now when she sees him. He kept her fed, snuggled with her and took her on walks for the entirety of my absence. He communicated with me any time I texted, too (since I’m an overprotective dog mom ). I would hire him above all others to do it again! He is a trustworthy guy for sure!”

Stephanie M.
“Stef is a kind, patient, and extremely responsible pet sitter. She took care of our two demanding cats at her apartment for a week while we were out of town last summer. One cat required twice-daily oral medication - no fun for us as her owner, much less for a pet sitter, but Stef did it with ease. On the day of our return, she brought our kitties home and got them settled in - one less thing for us to worry about.”

Samantha G.
“AWESOME!! She was very knowledgeable about my dogs medication, even more knowledgeable than me it felt like. She is a close friend who really helped me when my dog had Pyometra and needed surgery and medications. She gave me pointers to help my pitbull take the medicine and making her comfortable. She would check up on us and definitely wasn’t afraid of any blood or needles.”
