“Xiana took SUCH good care of our 3 kitties, she paid close attention to all of the details I told her about how to care for them, communicated amazingly with me the whole time, and provided so many cute pictures of our babies so that we could see how they were doing!! She is such a sweet, caring, and attentive person. :)”

About: Hello! My name is Ella! I am a student at EIU and a PCT and SBL ! I have worked as a dog sitter/walker for friends and family and even strangers that have heard through the grapevine! Now that I live here I’m just looking for some more connections and fur babies down here! I cannot wait to help you and your fur ball out! I have experience in cleaning up after them, walks, feedings, administering medications, and simple check ins! I am happy to also love on them and make sure they are happy and healthy! I work part time at Sarah Bush Hospital and am a Senior at EIU! Pet walking/sitting interests me because I want to grow connections down here, and make some extra cash on the side !

About: I love dogs. Big or small they are smart, intuitive, loyal and good judges of character. We will do different activities depending on your dog's personality, temperament, and age. Wether we go for a walk or play your loved one will get that one-on-one attention they so desperately need. If you need someone to wear out that puppy and make sure they get that good exercise, I'm your girl. If your dog is older and just needs a good pampering, I got you.

“Jennifer was so amazing to my Bella, I never worried a single second I was gone! She is not only so sweet, but genuinely cares for and loves animals. I will 100% be asking her to watch my pup again! Thank you Jennifer❤️”


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.

Joel F.
“Joel is the biggest animal lover I know. He is focused on pet health, wellness and attention. I have 3 cats-Bella, Stella and Nike and one dog named Connor. They all get lots of attention from Joel. He cuddles with the cats, plays laser light and makes sure they are fed and watered. Joel works with Connor to teach him tricks, takes him on walks and makes sure he has plenty of outdoor time. If you want someone good to take care of your pet, Joel is your guy.”

Sierra R.
“Sierra was great with our two dogs. She took excellent care of them. Virgil, the Aussie, can be a handful. He is a ball of energy. Sierra played with him an entertained him until he was tired. Orville, the Irish Wolfhound, can be shy and leary of people. She handled him without any issues and he loves her now. Sierra is very knowledgeable about dog breeds and their personalities. Followed our instructions perfectly and left our home in better shape than we did. We chose her for all of our pet sitting needs. She even cared for our chickens while we were out of town.”
