Our pups love Mallory! She sent us several pictures and updates during our time away. Her love for animals is obvious, as well as her organization and timeliness! We have already rebooked her and will definitely be using her anytime we can when we can’t take our pups with us!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and even administer medications to their pets. I also spent four years as a service dog trainer with Four Paws, where I gained hands-on experience working with dogs of all temperaments and training needs. I’ve worked with high-energy pups, senior dogs needing gentle care, and everything in between. I’m known for being reliable, patient, and genuinely loving toward animals… because they’re more than just pets, they’re family! I work part-time from my computer managing finances for a local construction company, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m home often and can easily fit pet care into my daily routine... whether that’s checking in, giving cuddles, feeding, or cleaning up. I’m also available for weekend or evening visits (even overnight stays) depending on your pet’s needs! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment and always follow your instructions closely! (whether it's feeding routines, medications, or special needs) I’m gentle, respectful of boundaries, and experienced with both shy and outgoing cats. If I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care I give your pet... clean, reliable, and trustworthy every step of the way.

From the moment we met Andrea, we knew our dogs were in great hands. Entrusting someone to care for our three dogs (Pumpkin, Roxie, and Daisy) for an entire week is no small task, but Andrea exceeded every expectation. Every day, she would send us photos and updates, which were more than reassuring—they were a delightful treat that gave us peace of mind. Not only could we see that our dogs were happy and well-taken care of, but they genuinely seemed to love spending time with Andrea. But Andrea didn’t stop at simply caring for our dogs. Her proactive nature and thoughtfulness shone through as she took it upon herself to water our plants, gather our mail, and even run the vacuum, ensuring we returned to a clean and welcoming home. It's not just about the tasks she performed or helping to care for the “girls” while we were out of town, but the genuine love and care she poured into every one of them. Our dogs’ fondness for Andrea speaks volumes about her nature and the connection forms with pets. In a world where it's hard to find trustworthy and dependable individuals, Andrea stands out as someone who goes the extra mile, not because she has to, but because she genuinely cares. We can't thank her enough for the peace of mind she provided us during our trip and the impeccable care she offered to our furry family. We highly recommend Andrea to anyone needing dog-sitting and house-sitting services. She is a gem! Thank you, Andrea, and we hope to work with you again in the future!

About: I have taken care of several types of dogs since I was little. I grew up in the country and helped take care of my neighbors dogs and animals whenever I could. I have watched my friends pets before and respected any care methods they have. I took care of puppies and dogs pretty much my whole life. I trained puppies and always pay attention to body language and behavior. I work every other weekend currently at a motorcycle range. My week days are free and so are my nights. I take online classes right now since it is the summer semester. I have my own cat so I keep his space clean and tidy. I feed him on a set schedule and make sure he has plenty of space for his zoomies and play time. He is a single cat and likes it that way. For client’s homes, I will follow any and all instructions for their pet and keep their home tidy and keep their pets clean as well, including litter boxes, food spills, etc.

Cobden, IL, 62920

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 10 years old. From chickens, snakes, and frogs to dogs, cats and rabbits, you name it, I’ve fed it. I love to stay active and animals help me fill that by constantly allowing me to exercise them! Animals can be challenging by eating everything, using the restroom inside, and doing things they KNOW they shouldn’t. I’ve dealt with it all- and the consequences. Learning how to adapt to each individual animal is extremely important and something I thrive at. I go to school full time and work part time. With that said, I have breaks in between each class and always come home to check on my animals. In my own home I have two dogs and a cat. My larger dog is kept in a kennel during the day because she loves to eat EVERYTHING! My pug is left to explore the home as he wishes. Everything will depend on how you would like your animal taken care of.

About: With me, your pet is guaranteed to receive personalized, loving care. Growing up in a large, close-knit family, I've been surrounded by dogs from an early age, and they've always been an integral part of my life. My experience in raising dogs all my life has made me highly attuned to their needs. I currently have a loving American Bulldog named Apollo, who you'll see under the orange cover in my profile gallery, along with other dogs I've cared for in the past. I've been dog sitting for years, and it’s more than just a job—it's a passion. I understand how important dogs are to a family, having experienced firsthand the comfort and joy they bring to our lives. When caring for your pet, I prioritize keeping you informed with regular pictures and updates, so you can feel at ease knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for. I tailor my care to your pet’s specific needs and your preferences, so just let me know your pups fav trails and playtime activities and I’m happy to accommodate. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to offer dog walks, play dates, and dog sitting at your home, including overnight stays if needed. I always take the time to understand your pet’s routine and habits, ensuring they receive the best care possible while you're away. I work Mon-Fri. But have the flexibility to leave multiple times throughout the day. I am able to do overnight stays Sunday - Saturday as long as you are comfortable with a sitter that has a 9-5. Open to taking the kids to the park, on a nice walk or even a small trial hike! Whatever meets your needs as a parent. Unfortunately I am not open to overnight sitting services within my own home. I can however bring your pet for a play date with my own dog or bring them to my house for a temporary moment of time.

About: I would love to take care of your fur babies! I have always grown up around animals and always took in sick animals in need of care. Our house was never a stranger to any animal, so I have a lot of experience on animal needs and animal body language! My Fiancé and I have a cat named Marty and a dog named Pumpkin! Pumpkin is a 100lb puppy, so you can be absolutely sure I can walk your large fur babies with no problem! I have also grown up with a lot of dogs under 30lbs, so walking smaller dogs is no issue either. I carry with me poop baggies, treats, and a portable water bowl on dog walks. They will be well taken care of and made sure they can enjoy their walk without being bored or thirsty! I hope to meet you and your fur babies soon! I would love to take them on a walk or just provide general care to them, and I am sure they will appreciate it too! I am available all through the week and work weekends. I can take your baby(s) on a walk any time needed. I would love to spend more time getting out into nature and let your baby do the same! I plan to walk your dogs at a park or somewhere dog friendly and safe! If there is a certain place they love to walk above all the rest, I can take them there too!

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the superior personalized care that my dogs receive from MacKenzie L. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals shines through in every interaction. MacKenzie went above and beyond to tailor her services to the unique needs of my furry friends. She adapted her walking techniques to the range of abilities of my three dogs. MacKenzie exercised my blue heeler by throwing a ball which allowed her to walk at a slower pace for my two older dogs. This method proved to be the workout my blue heeler needed while still making the other dogs feel loved. Trusting someone with the care of your pet is a big decision, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found someone who provides such exceptional and personalized care. I wholeheartedly recommend MacKenzie's services to any pet owner seeking a dedicated and loving caregiver.

Coen did a great job taking care of my pets. He was responsive to my messages and easy to communicate with. It's clear that he cares deeply about animals and goes the extra mile to make sure they are happy and well cared for. My dog has some trust issues with new people and he was incredibly sensitive to her special needs and now they are best friends! I definitely recommend him to other pet parents and will use him again myself.

Mark was fantastic when watching our little mini golden doodle, Belle. She is 5 years old, and can be fearful when we leave the house. He was so kind to her, and sent us pics of her playing and being happy. Mark even kept the house cleaned and watered our plants when he wasn’t asked to! It was so great, we didn’t even think about mentioning that while we were gone for 10 days. Definitely would recommend, such a nice trustworthy person!!

When we had our German Shepherd Sadie, we asked her to trim her nails and babysit her a few times while my husband and I went out of town, and I swear that dog came back to us happier than ever! She loves dogs and I am so thankful for that. I can vouch that she will take care of any of your doggos needs! :)

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. I'm flexible and understand that pet owners have specific needs for their animals, and I will cater towards that. 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.
