“Hired Kelly to see how petting would work for a trip in the future. Kelly was super friendly. Came for a quick house tour during the week and watched our pets on that Friday. She got here right when we asked. Feed and hung out with the dogs. Sent photos. Will hire again”


“Brandi was great! She gave awesome updates, asked all the right questions and sent so many pictures! She took great care of my dog during the 4th of July Fireworks. Will definitely rebook!”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was about six years old. I always watched neighbor's animals and cared for them as well as family and friends. I have no issues with giving medications orally to an animal and getting them their exercise in a backyard, going for a walk, or even going to the dog park to go have fun. My goal in life is to pursue a career working with animals while caring for my children. I am currently not working, so I have plenty of time for caring for pets while I am going through college. Tuesdays, I am not available from 2 PM to 315, but before and after that I am available. I am comfortable with using a dog lead if your pet requires it or just taking them on a walk if you do not have a fenced in backyard. If you have animals that have separate foods, I am perfectly willing to separate them in different locations in order for them to eat their own as I have to do this with my cats given 2 of them have urinary issues.

“Did such a great job taking house sitting and taking care of both dogs. Loved all the pictures ?”


“From what I can tell Kristin did an excellent job with Peeka! I say “From what I can tell” jokingly. There were so few things moved or touched that it made it impossible to tell she had even been there! In the future, and there will definitely be more, im going to have to tell her to be comfortable! I very highly recommend Kristin and look forward to having her take care of my baby again! Thanks!”


About: I’ve always grown up around dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and etc. A dog is more than just an animal, they are a part of the family. Im a dental assistant and love helping people achieve the confidence to smile again. Im 22 years old and still live with my parents so this is a great side hustle to save money to move out eventually. At home we have a basset hound named Maggie that’s three years old, an Australian Shepard named Ranger that is also three years old, a Yorkie Shih Tzu named Trixie that is about 15 years old (yeah I know she’s basically deaf and blind but old girl is still kicking it), and then two cats that we rescued on the side of the road named Stormi & Klondike! I also have chickens & ducks! Let me dogsit your fur baby 🥰 I’m currently working at a private dental office located in Staunton, IL Monday-Thursday. Usually when I dog sit for a family friend or just anyone in general I stay at their house with the dog(s) so they feel comfortable in their own environment. My work hours are as followed; Monday & Thursday: 7-4pm (lunch 12-1pm) Tuesday 8-6pm (lunch 1-2 or 2-3pm) and Wednesday 7-1pm. I am a reliable and a caring person to watch your fur babies! I usually stay at the clients house so the pet is in a familiar environment and won’t get over stimulated. Every dog is different and so I usually meet the clients and/or the dog(s) so they are somewhat familiar with me and aren’t frightened by a stranger while their loved ones are away.

“We couldn't be happier with Brogan! We were away for a long weekend and she looked after our dog, Darla. Brogan sent us lots of pictures, texts, and info on how they were all getting along. It definitely made me feel little to no concern about how things were going back home and I was able to enjoy my trip. Darla is a reactive dog and strong as well. Brogan worked so well with her on the leash and wasn't at all uncomfortable. Lots of communication before we left as well and totally responsible with the house. We're already hoping to book her again! 15 stars!! ☺️”

“Vivian has always been fantastic when it comes to watching our dog. This is the second time we hired her and we , and our dog , love having her !”


About: I’ve had animals in my family my whole life! I have two doggies of my own. Beans and Kona. I have watched a lot of other people’s animals throughout my life. Animals are the best thing in this world! Without them life would not be as fun. I have open availability for the most part. I own my own business and thought this would be a fun side job! I’m very responsible and dependable. I am able to watch pets for short or long amounts of time! Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. Each morning, I feed my pets and take them for a walk. Throughout the week, I schedule playtime and grooming sessions, ensuring they stay healthy and happy. Their well-being adds joy and structure to my day-to-day life. I try to stick to their normal routines! I always feel like dogs have a less stressful time when we stick to the stuff they know. If there is something specific you need, I can accommodate!

“Jenny is the absolute BEST!! I was so anxious leaving my babies and she immediately put me at ease. She has been sending me pictures and letting me know how they are doing 3x a day!! She will be missed when we return by our pups!! Thank you Jenny!!”


“When we reached out to AnnaMarie, we quickly set up a time for a meet-and-greet with Tanner. Tanner was a bit nervous about meeting someone new, but he quickly fell in love with AnnaMarie. AnnaMarie was incredible! She was so caring, thoughtful, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was in order while we were away. We had an amazing time having her as our house and pet sitter. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring house and pet sitter, look no further than AnnaMarie. She’s the best!”

Elizabeth L.
“I have known Elizabeth since she was a young child. She has always been such a wonderful person to have in your life and around your animals. She always tried to help any animal that she saw, even animals that seemed threatening. My husband and I had a cat named lancelot who had a bob tail because of a deformity while his mother was pregnant. A lot of people overlooked him but my husband and I did not when we went on a very long vacation, Elizabeth came over every day, called us with updates, and sent pictures. Lancelot passed away a couple of years ago, but he loved her and she loved him and she was just as heartbroken as we were. She has taken care of many other animals I have owned along with my family and our other neighbors in the neighborhood as well. She actually rushed my dog to the vet when she realized that something we had accidentally left out had been swallowed and stayed with him until she knew he was okay and that was well after we had arrived. Honestly if there's any person I would trust with your pet it would be her. She's got such a gentle soul and really can understand how an animal is feeling.”

She kept me updated with cute photos and videos every day, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. Max absolutely adored her, and I could tell he felt right at home with Laura. She made sure he got plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles. I really appreciate how thoughtful she was about his specific needs and routine. It’s clear that Laura is not only experienced but also truly cares for the pets she watches.”

“I can’t recommend Ashley enough as a dog sitter! She recently watched my dog, Oliver, while I was away, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such caring hands. Ashley took the time to understand Oliver’s routine, quirks, and favorite activities, making sure he felt comfortable and happy. Ashley provided daily updates and adorable photos, so I never felt too far from Oliver. When I returned, he was calm, happy, and clearly well taken care of. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, compassionate dog sitter, I highly recommend Ashley!”
