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: I've taken care dogs and cats and each animal is a unique experience. At one point I had 4 dogs and moved. No pet left behind! I'm a Full time Bookstore Manager working in Carbondale. I'm apart from my family and pets for the next year and could use the pet interaction/love. I've kennel trained. Walked dogs for years. Played with cats for hours. I'm a nurturer and loving with boundaries. I can be structured or spoil your pet.

About: Hey, there! My name is Elena:) Originally, I’m from a small town in Missouri. I’m currently staying in Carbondale, IL to continue my education. I have worked in the animal field for over 3 years now. I knew from very early on in my childhood that I wanted to help people. Helping is my passion. And by caring for these furry critters-even the ones without fur-I can also help you guys! Working as a veterinary technician and dog trainer has taught me how to care for breeds of all different sizes, ages and temperaments. To me, taking care of animals is a privilege and a joy. So, if you ever need someone to care and love your pet while you’re away, I’m your girl!:) I work a full time job from Mondays to Fridays. So, I’m available anytime after 5:00pm during the week and available all day on the weekends. Currently, I cannot pet sit your pet from my home. Simply because my apartment doesn’t allow dogs:’) I have one cat named KitKat. She greets me in the morning with soft meows-breakfast time. And I greet her by helping her get a big stretch! She loves morning and evening stretches. Although she is quite the independent cat, I still have toys, scratching posts and a cat tree to keep her entertained. My cat means the world to me. Caring for her and loving her is a privilege, just as it would be to care for your pets:)

“He was very nice! Prompt with messaging and sent good photos! He took very good care of the dogs!”

About: My personable in-house services are perfect for pets with special needs or separation anxiety, seniors or puppies, or anyone nervous about leaving their fur babies. I have over 20 years of experience with dogs, cats, birds, and critters of all sizes. Pets are part of the family, and there will be no question from you that they have received exceptional care while you are away. ✓ Have had regular pet-sitting families for 10+ years. After moving, I have decided to start rebuilding my pet family in Southern, IL through Rover. ✓ Responsible and trustworthy ✓ Experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments ✓ Comfortable administering medicine and IVs ✓ Can provide your pets with around-the-clock care ✓ Will keep your pet as close to their normal routine as possible. After pet sitting as my job through college, I decided I loved it so much that I never quit. Now, more than a decade later, I still have that same joy in giving families the peace of mind that their furry family members, and homes, are well cared for while they are gone. I work remotely and stay with your pets around the clock. This is especially great for homes with Senior, Disabled, Separation Anxiety, or other Special Needs pets and helps keep them on their regular routines and schedules. I am a responsible, careful, and trustworthy adult. I fully respect the privacy of your home and belongings. I am comfortable with you having security cameras in your home during my stay.

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.

“Stephanie was great! My dogs had a blast!”

“Chelsey was just the BEST!! We were so anxious about leaving them. To make matters worse, there was a bad storm in the forecast. She took the very best care of them and we will definitely be using her again!!”

About: Caring for animals is more than just something I do — it’s something I genuinely love. Over the past 7+ years, I’ve had the privilege of working in both vet clinics and boarding facilities, where I’ve built up not only experience, but also a deep understanding of how to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. From energetic puppies to older pets with special needs, I know how to meet each animal where they are. I’m comfortable giving medications, keeping up with routines, and offering gentle support to pets who need a little extra attention. I’ve helped puppies build confidence with consistent potty training and positive reinforcement, and I know how to spot when something’s off before it becomes a bigger concern. More than anything, I aim to be a calming, loving presence for your pet while you’re away—someone they can trust and feel at home with. Your pet’s happiness and well-being will always be my top priority. I am extremely flexible and can work around my schedule to be there to provide for your pet and their needs (whatever they may be)! I am more comfortable caring for pets in client’s home as I live in an apartment and my boyfriend is allergic to most dogs and some cats.

“Shae did a great job taking care of my cats while we were on vacation! She kept me updated and I felt much more relaxed knowing they were being looked after.”
