“Kayla was an excellent companion for my two cats while I was away. She followed my instructions and went above a beyond by making sure to keep me posted with photos of their wellbeing. She made sure they accepted her as a friend and and didn’t just feed them and leave.”

About: Hello, my name is Faith and I have had pets in my home my entire life. I know how to administer medications, First aid, CPR, Bottle feeding, and I used to work at a wildlife rehabilitation center. I have rescued several animals in terrible shape when I found them and nursed them back to health, so I have plenty of experience when it comes to that if your pet needs some extra care. I have one dog, four cats, and a lizard and home and would love to get to know your pets as well. I am currently working a full-time job starting at 6am but I would be happy to stop by before then on week days if you’re alright with me being there early! I can take them for walks, feed them and administer medications. If you want I could even take them to a local trail and hike with them so they can get away from the house. I work full time Monday-Tuesday and Thursday-Saturday starting at 1am and ending by noon at the latest. I can care for your pets after work all the way until I go to sleep that night. I would treat your pet as my own. I don’t mind if your pet needs extra care such as medications or if there is an injury I need to be aware of. Your pet and their health and safety would be my number one priority.

About: I love caring for pets. I have the most experience with very small dogs. This includes puppy training and also taking care of frail senior dogs. I have had two yorkies in the past that I have trained and professionally competed with. I also have experience in house sitting and would happily do any small takes you might need including watering plants, throwing laundry in the dryer, washing dishes, etc. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am rarely in a rush and would happily spend time with your pet if you desire. Helicopter fur-parent...that's me. I prefer to be with pets in the same space so we can keep each other company. If you pet isn't affectionate I can understand that, but I love giving them love if they like. Pet's that I'm boarding have to be hypoallergenic.

“thank u so much for taking great care of my cat while i was out of town!”

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.

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: Hello! My name is Gracie, a graduate student living in the Carbondale area. I'm looking for furry walking buddies to make some extra money in my free time. From growing up on my family's hobby farm and watching friend's pets, I have over 9 years of experience caring for dogs and other types of animals, both small and large. I have a wonderful cat named Whispy. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you're in need of animal care. I look forward to meeting you and your dog (or other fur babies). You're welcome to send me a message with any or all inquires. I'd love to get to know you dog or other pet more. In the meantime, have a wonderful day! I’m currently job hunting after graduation, so my current availability is very flexible to suit your schedule. I am willing to work around your schedule to meet your pet care needs. I usually spend my time accompanying the pets when I’m animal sitting for my clients. I can’t help myself but play with pets when they’re nearby, so expect lots of exercise and enrichment :)

“Allie did a fantastic job watching our 3 fur babies! Our regular pet sitter had to cancel at the last minute but Allie came to the rescue and was able to care for them while we were away for a few days. We loved the photo and visit updates and seeing them so happy! Thank you, Allie, for doing such a super job! We will definitely utilize your services again in the near future!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for a long time. I first started with my mom at a young age. She taught me how to take care of animals and how to respect them. As I got older I was often asked by friends and family to watch over their furry loved ones. This included feeding, walking, and give them lots of TLC. With clear instructions I have also given pets the medicine that they needed at the time. I love both dogs and cats and have experience caring for both. Right now, I am the proud dog mom of an 8 year old Lab-Akita mix. She’s the love of my life and would do anything for her.Being a pet owner myself, I understand the joys and anxieties that come with caring for them so I will be ensure to provide excellent care. I am a military spouse who just received my is bachelor's degree. My weekly routine is mostly open as I am searching for a full time job. Right now my weeks are very flexible and I will be able to work with you on meeting your pets needs. My goal will be to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible as you are away. I will try to keep them occupied so they aren’t missing you too much. I love to go on walks myself, so if it’s allowed I will try to walk them plenty. Any care instructions that are provide will be followed to the letter.

“Edie was great! She made sure my cats were taken care of and that one received medicine twice daily. She let me know how they were after every visit.”

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:)

“Colby is amazing! She goes above and beyond for my fur baby and I never have to worry. I cannot say good enough things about her.”

About: I’ve growing up around all types of animals my whole life. I’ve grown up around horses, cats, dogs, rabbits, chickens, and cows. Cats being on of my favorites to be around. I have a lot of experience on administering medications such as shots like insulin and oral medications.
