“Kayla K. Was absolutely amazing with our pets! We were nervous at first because our dog weighs 100+ pounds and is super hyper. Kayla handled our Dog perfectly and he absolutely loves her. Her communication is beyond impressive, she’s was very respectful of our home and the list of rules we left, just overall a fantastic experience and she really put our minds at ease about leaving our babies in her care. When we need to go out of town again we will be booking Kayla K.”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life. I currently have 2 lab mix dogs that I couldn’t imagine life without. I would want the best care for mine so I intend to provide the best care for yours!! I’m currently a paraprofessional at Carterville Intermediate School so I’m free evenings, weekends, holidays, and in the summer. I work from 8-3 so I’m able to do potty breaks before and after work. I have 2 old men myself that are loved above and beyond. They enjoy playing at the dog park and relaxing in front of a window to sunbathe. Your fur babies will be in great hands!!

11. Leah H.
About: I’ve taken care of big dogs to little dogs and even cats since I was very young. I have some knowledge of veterinary care as I’ve interned at vet clinics and have worked at an animal shelter. I’m also in college studying animal science:) I’m currently unemployed as I’m focusing on my academics. But I still want to gain experience and be around animals. So I am available anytime weekdays or weekends. So I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I would provide care to your pets exactly how you would. I would treat them as if they’re my pets and give them plenty of love.
12. Autumn M.
“Autumn has an unconditional love for animals! She is always looking for her next chance to give love and cuddles. She has cared for animals over night, providing them with their required meds, bathing, trimming, and so much more that I have personally witnessed. She will give the best love to any animal placed in her care.”
13. Jeanette K.
“I recently had the pleasure of using Jeanette for my diabetic kitty, Stella, and I couldn't be happier with the care provided. From the start, Jeanette was incredibly attentive and professional, ensuring that she understood Stella's special needs and medication schedule. During my time away, Jeanette kept me updated with regular photos and detailed messages about how Stella was doing, which gave me great peace of mind. Stella requires precise insulin administration and a strict feeding routine, and Jeanette handled everything perfectly. It's clear that Jeanette has a genuine love for animals and a solid understanding of how to care for pets with special medical needs. When I returned, I took solace knowing Stella had been well-cared for. I highly recommend Jeanette for anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate pet sitter, especially if your pet has special medical needs. Thank you, Jeanette, for your exceptional service!”
14. Isabella K.
“Thankful for Isabella’s expert care! I have a dog who doesn’t have the best manners and is not keen on strangers but Isabella has been undeterred by my pups somewhat difficult nature. She has been dedicated to making friends with my Susie as well as offering care and comfort to my aging kitty. Honest and hardworking, I’ve not once worried about Isabella having access to my home and fur children because I know she loves animals as much as I do!”
15. Megan M.
“Megan is great! Personable, on time, and dependable. I will definitely book her again.”
16. Ashley M.
“Ashley made a couple drop in visits for me. She was easy going, and did well with my dogs. She seems very trustworthy and efficient. This was the first Rover visit, and I was very pleased.”
17. Samantha D.
“Samantha has watched my pet in the past. She did a phenomenal job! She was very trustworthy, my pet was in great hands! I’d recommended her to anyone in need of pet care!”
18. Edie W.
“Edie was great with our cats again. We were able to relax knowing they were taken care of and getting medicine each day. She sent updates and photos every day. We highly recommend Edie!”

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. I have lots of experience taking care of them, including feeding, walking and above all love. I am currently working part time. I am switching between the Carbondale and Cape Girardeau area. I have lots of free time to deliver pet care to a wide area.

For dog walking specifically, I know safe places for walks to ensure your pets safety. Additionally I have a pet seat belt in my car if needed, I am well prepared.
20. Peyton M.
About: I've taken care of dogs for a bit more recently. I've worked at a doggy daycare and grooming facility. I love it, I have 2 dogs of my own. I'm working full time so I could only check in on them in the morning before work, right after work, and then one more time before bed. But I assure you I will make sure they are cared for. I will follow any of your instructions to the best of my ability. I will keep in contact with you and update you on your baby as needed.
