Pet Sitting in Crab Orchard Estates

“Rachelle is the best! She took care of my two cats while I was out of town. She followed all instructions and kept me informed, including some photos. I texted her about one of the auto feeders not working and she took care of it for me. I had complete peace of mind while I was away. Thank you, Rachelle, you did an awesome job! I will definitely call on Rachelle next time I need a sitter for my fur babies.”

“We honestly wish we could give more than five stars!! Kayla is absolutely wonderful with our pets and has very strong communication skills. She is consistently updating us with cute pictures of our pets so we can put our worries to the side when we’re on vacation or business trips. We highly recommend Kayla as we have booked with her before!!”

“Ashley made a couple drop in visits for me. She was easy going, and did well with my dogs. She seems very trustworthy and efficient. This was the first Rover visit, and I was very pleased.”

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.

“Laszlo dropped in on my elderly cat for an extended period of time and was so wonderful with him! Made being away from my cat much easier. Plus, he even watered my plants while I was gone!”

About: Me and my husband adopted a dog in. 2023 and we can’t imagine our life without her. She has really become part of the family and we love her with all our heart! I am a stay at home wife soon to be mom looking for some extra income for my family. I am an animal lover and will make sure your furry friend is taking care of! There is lots of play time involved. Your pet will be taken care of according to how you would like things done! She/he will be well loved and cared for!

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.

“Brianna did an excellent job! She came over to meet us before we left. She is a warm, caring, trustworthy! She did exactly what she promised. We would highly recommend Brianna!”

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:)

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. At a point in time in my household I cared for three beautiful Pitties at once. I am used to caring for large breeds (German Shepards, Dobermans, Pit Bulls, ect). I currently have a lovely floof ball named Bubba, he is Border Collie mix. He’s a timid baby but he loves meeting new dogs. I have always found myself drawn to animals and I would love to join your fur babies pack! I work remotely with a very flexible schedule so I will be available for you pup full-time. I will accommodate your pups needs. I am used to caring for rescues who need some extra love. I have a friendly dog who can keep your pup company. I am a detail-oriented person. I will ensure to follow your instructions so your pups routine is maintained to the T. I am also a firm believer of giving pups an all natural diet without any preservatives, fillers, added sugars, ect!

“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: 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 :)

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.

“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.

“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.”
