“Ashley is amazing. I had a last minute sitting job and she took my boys no fuss. They are always so happy when I get them.. Me and my husband will continue to be regulars of hers!!!!”

“Best experience ever! I would recommend Jessica over and over to any and all! As a military family it is hard to find someone to trust with your furry family members but our pup had the best life with cuddles and treats the whole time. He was cared for like he was one of her own.”

“Matthew was great! We were in a bind and needed to find a sitter for Blizzy on very short notice. Matthew was super easy going and made us feel comfortable right away. He provided regular updates including fun pictures and I could tell he was treating our dog like family. We would recommend him to anyone looking for great care for their pet and will absolutely use him again in the future.”

“Our dog Dobby just finished her first tryout stay with Daniela. It seems like she had a good time and there weren't any big problems. Daniela kept us in the loop and sent lots of pics during the days. Dobby seems pretty happy with her stay, so we are as well. We will definitely be getting in touch with Daniela again for further dog watching.”

“Nila had a wonderful time with Mrs. Amber and her family. Mrs. Amber consistently kept us updated and sent lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend Mrs. Amber to watch your pups!”

“Memphis loved her boarding experience with Aurora! I was sent with pictures, videos, and updates throughout the stay which was greatly appreciated. We will definitely be booking with Aurora again!”


“My pup loved staying a Bianca’s! She is super communicative and sent plenty of pictures. He looked so happy there! I had zero worries about my pup while he was with her. Will 100% be using her again!”

“This was my first time needing a sitter and I was pretty nervous about it. I've never had to leave my sweet boy anywhere other than the vet for a day. Carol was very accommodating. She allowed me to see where he would be, answered any questions I had and sent pictures to me to assure me he was ok. I was grateful for that. That helped ease my mind. I would definitely use her again if it should become necessary again. She's awesome!!”

“JyZaree took excellent care of my senior dog. JyZaree communicated frequently. My dog got plenty of outdoor time and play time. My dog got along great with her dogs, which is important. I was quite pleased and I hope to be able to have JyZaree dogsit for us again, soon.”

“Montarius did a fantastic job with our dog. She’s not necessarily an easy one, but she warmed up to him quickly and they spent 11 days together with no problems. I’d use him again.”

About: My wife and I were lucky to have our dog, Rocco, for 20 wonderful years. After losing him last year, we miss having a dog in our home and are excited to give your pet the same love, attention, and care. We welcome dogs of all ages and have extensive experience caring for senior pets, including those who need a little extra patience and support. We know it can be stressful leaving your dog with someone new, so we prioritize communication and peace of mind. You can expect regular updates, photos, and reassurance that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Your dog will be treated like family while they’re with us. What To Expect: We only take one dog (or family’s dogs) at a time We live in a quiet mostly retired neighborhood. We will ask and follow your dog’s routine closely Medication administration experience Pet care fits very naturally into our daily routine. I work from home most days, so your dog will have consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day. My wife and I plan our schedules to ensure your pet’s needs come first, including regular walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. Because of this, dogs are rarely left alone for extended periods. We also have a quiet, adult-only home in a mostly retired neighborhood, which creates a calm, low-stress environment, especially helpful for senior dogs or those who prefer a more relaxed setting. We enjoy having a dog as part of our day-to-day life, whether that is relaxing at home or getting outside for walks. Our goal is to make your dog’s stay feel as close to their normal routine as possible. We provide care in our home as if your dog were part of our family. Dogs are welcome in our main living spaces and will receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day. Since there are two of us, your pet will rarely be alone and will have consistent companionship. We keep our environment calm and comfortable, which is especially helpful for senior dogs or those who prefer a quieter setting. We follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special care needs. We’re also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Our goal is for your dog to feel safe, relaxed, and right at home while staying with us.
About: I've taken care of senior dogs and up to 4 dogs at a time. I am available to stay overnight if needed and don't have a preference for any breed of pets. I'm currently enrolled at McKendree University and am able to watch pets throughout the afternoon, evenings, and nights! I am pretty available throughout the week and through the weekend! I have a fenced in yard and love to take pets on walks throughout town and playing with the pets as well to keep them company.

About: Hi! I'm Dannie, I've been a certified dog groomer for over 7 years. I've been fortunate enough to personally love and care for special needs pets and also senior dogs. As a groomer I am always continuing my canine education, especially related to safe dog handling. My goal in life is to meet all the pups! Being in a salon management position I do have a good amount of flexibility with my schedule. I will be available for drop-in visits and walks in the evenings and select day visits. I’m also available for overnight pet sitting during the week and on every other weekend. In home I have a very social mini poodle mix, 5 years old, she is very adaptable to having other dogs around and respecting their schedules. In clients home I try to keep with their pets schedule as much as possible while providing care and attention.
