“Loved all the pictures! she was so sweet and made sure he had plenty of love and walks🐾 I never worried once about him missing his medicine schedule. She is definitely a go too, and I’m definitely hiring her again 🥰”


About: I’ve never lived without an animal in my life I know the basics and more. I would give your pet so much care and love! I’m going to Eastern Illinois University for biological sciences with a pre-vet pathway. I hope to one day be a veterinarian, but I know wherever I go there I will be working with animals! I’m very passionate about what I do, I take pride in my work. I work at an assisted living as a resident aid, I work 3-11 sunday, monday, wednesday. I also am a full time student at EIU but I will always work your pet into my schedule and give them the care and love they deserve! We can always work out what days i’m free I can always stop by if I can’t stay longer! I would make sure the house stays clean and would take care of the pets and that’s all. If asked to sweep or water plants I would also do that!

“Emma was so amazing with my girls! I was very hesitant to bring on a new sitter in the middle of a medical shit-show for my oldest dog. Emma showed up at 5:45 AM (That already earns her a 'you're amazing!' in my book) and stayed with my two younger girls so that I could take my oldest one for specialized care at a vet teaching hospital. She didn't mind that I didn't know when I'd get back. She didn't mind that I'm a complete hot mess express. The girls absolutely loved her, and I loved that the first thing she did at our meet and greet was play with them. When my middle girl didn't want to eat while I was gone, she even tried hand-feeding her. Emma is the MVP, and I know I will be using her many times in the future.”


“Jennifer was absolutely fantastic! She took amazing care of my two dogs and my cat, Josie — who is usually wary of new people but warmed up to her immediately. Throughout my time away, she kept me updated with photos and videos, and even let me know about their eating habits, bathroom habits, and overall happiness. It was clear she genuinely cared for them, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. I would absolutely book with Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet and house sitter.”


About: I have plenty of experience with both dogs and cats. I have been working in a dog/cat boarding and daycare facility for a little over a year now. At work, we are responsible for providing individual care for each animal staying with us; we are in charge of providing them with playtime, feeding them, giving meds, and more. Personally, I have had two cats going on about 15 years now, and I have had two dogs (a lab mix and a pit mix) for about five years. I also have the experience of being a dog walker volunteer at a humane society! Right now, I am on summer break and home from school, and I am currently only working a part-time job. On days I do work at my part-time job, I’m usually working from 8-230pm 3-4 days a week, so I will usually be available outside of that time period on my working days. On non-working days, I typically have open availability. Since I am around animals pretty much 24/7, caring for them is part of my usual routine, making me very passionate and comfortable around animals. Unfortunately, one of my dogs is reactive and doesn't take well to new doggy friends, so care at my house would not be possible. However, in terms of staying in the owner's home, I would bring over some toys and other things dogs love, like treats, and I could even bring a splash pad for those who like water! I would make sure the dog is my number one priority and be on top of what their daily needs are. For cats, plenty of catnip and fun will be involved!

“Lisa was great! Great communication, fair pricing, and attentive towards my pets needs. Was my first time using any pet sitter services so I was nervous but my dog Sadie loved her and she did a fantastic job!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including walking, feeding, and giving plenty of attention and love. I’ve also helped neighbors by dog-sitting and walking their pups when needed. I’m patient, reliable, and excited to care for your furry family member! I trained my dog Beau from puppyhood, so I’m familiar with basic commands, house training, and patience needed for young dogs. I’m also comfortable providing gentle care for senior dogs, including help with medication and slower-paced walks. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. On weekdays, I’m available early mornings (5:00–6:30 a.m.) and evenings after 4:30 p.m. I have mostly open availability on weekends and can provide flexible care then. I live in an apartment, so dogs in my care get regular walks and lots of attention. I walk my own dog, Beau, daily and often take him to the dog park for exercise and enrichment. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to help pets feel safe and secure. I respect their space, follow all instructions, and make sure pets are comfortable and cared for. I’m always mindful of leash safety, locked doors, and keeping a calm, pet-friendly environment. Owners can trust that I’ll treat their pets and homes with the same care I give my own.

About: I am a proud mother of a 4yr old son and an 10 yr old daughter.. My daughter is usually at school for most of the day. However, caring for both full time I have come to notice animals stimulate both kids and teach them respect, responsibility and routine. We are excited to em"bark" on this new chapter in life and cant wait to start. Together, I believe all 3 of my family unit would not only love, but sincerely enjoy even the smallest and largest pets while their 'parents' are away or just need some attention. With summer upon us - my schedule (and helping hands) have become more flexible. Currently, I am available every day from 6am to 7pm. Holidays, weekends, and every day that ends in "Y"! With respect to the pet , clients home, and specific care needs, I try to always keep an open mind and heart but keeping respect in the foreground.

About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life. My current pack consists of 6 Great Danes, 2 hounds, 1 golden doodle and 1 cat. I am a nurse with a passion for animals. I am a nurse with a flexible schedule. I strive to schedule on days I’m off so I’m able to provide your fur baby with my utmost attention. I have a fenced in yard with a dog door so your pup can come in and out as they please. I also have an automatic water bowl that refills with ice cold water. I have a basement that is pet friendly. Stocked with a sofa, pet beds and blankets and an emotional support human to hang out with if you have a shyer pet that may not like all the activity in the house.

About: I have spent my entire life caring for animals. Throughout my life I have had many animals from birds and Guinea pigs to cats and dogs. Koda, my youngest dog was completely trained by me in German commands. Working with dogs to learn new things is one of my favorite things to do. My oldest dog, Motley is a senior and the past couple years I have become very educated and trained on administration of medication and post surgery care. With experience from my own pets, I have many reliable references I have gained over the years that can vouch for me on my loving, dedicated, and superior care with their fur babies. I am currently a nanny and have almost completely open availability. I work Monday through Thursday during the day but can still do visits anytime! And I’m off Friday through Sunday so anytime those days as well! When visiting your home I am happy to provide any services you may need for your pet. This includes special feeding instructions, medication distribution, daily walks, baths, guaranteed playtime, and more all while treating them as my own with so much love! I am also happy to do drop in visits while you are at work or walks to get your babies steps in.

“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.”
