“My pups took to Samantha immediately upon meeting her! Given that one of them can be real standoffish with people, we were shocked! Both of them sensed that she truly was a dog person and immediately bonded with her. She's mature and reliable and kept up wonderful communication with us throughout our trip. It gave us so much peace of mind seeing them. So happy in the pictures and knowing that they were being loved. Highly recommend she will be our first person we go to for future bookings.”

“Danae went above and beyond when sitting for my dogs and cat. She sent pics to show me they were doing well, and I could tell they getting lots of love while we were away. She even went the extra mile to comfort my dog that is scared of storms. I would highly recommend her and will most definitely use her again!”

About: I have been a dog/cat/house sitter for my family and friends for over 20 yrs. I will take care of your pets like my own I currently have a lot of time on my hands. I had to say goodbye to my dog last year and wanted to help other owners with theirs until I’m ready to adopt one of my own. That’s going to take some time. I’m I will have a lot of fun with pet(s). I enjoy going to the park or a hiking trail or staying in the backyard. They will be cared for and receive many hags and kisses. I understand the importance of a routine for some pets and will do whatever I can to keep them safe and happy.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals for some time now whether it be lizards, cats, dogs, or fish. Family and friends could always put their trust in me when I take care of their pets. I own a cat so I take care of him daily, feed him twice a day, give him toys, bathe him ever so often (depending if he goes outside), brush him because he has long fur. So he fits right in with my schedule and I give him cuddles all the time! I care for my pet everyday! I feed him twice a day ( morning and night) maybe a few treats, I’ll bathe him when needed but not too often cause it hurts their fur coat, clip his nails when needed, brush him just about everyday. I will especially give him cuddles whenever I see him!
About: I'd like to start by saying I am located in Whiteside County. I have a house full of animals and I love every minute of it! I'd love to look after your pets too. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!!! Take a look at my reviews also for extra confidence. If you choose me you'll be choosing right! <3 I have a pretty flexible schedule!!! I have a separate area for cats. My dogs typically roam upstairs and the cats play downstairs in their own little sanctuary. I have multiple kennels if you prefer they stay in them rather than be out and about. Whatever you’re most comfortable with please let me know! I will accommodate your pets accordingly :) I like to make sure all animals are comfortable <3 I’d also like to mention I CAN transport animals as well, pickup AND drop off if need be up to 40 miles (out by Dixon and towards Moline) but I would need to adjust pricing depending on how far I’d be driving. Also, I cannot do extra work without charging you or tend to other animals that are not listed. It would be a disadvantage to myself. If you book with me and last minute decide you forgot to mention this this and that I'm sorry but my answer will be no. I apologize in advance. I have a large yard for dogs to run around in and a small dog run area that’s fenced in. I’m open to keeping your dogs inside my home that way I can keep a good eye on them but if they want to hang out in the yard that’s fine too. I do enjoy going to the dog park so if that’s okay with YOU then I’m open to that which is right around the corner from my house (lucky me:) I’m very experienced with use of kennels for training too. I have a lot of experience with all animals and that gentle nature they’re attracted to.
About: I've taken care of friends, family, and coworkers pets for the duration of their vacations, as well as many of my own over the years.

Secure and spacious back yard, plenty of room to run and play fetch, baby safe household (doubles as extra dog safe!), lots of love and attention provided
“McKenna watched our 2 babies while we were away for a long weekend. She sent pictures and updates daily! She stayed at our home and left everything as it was when we left. We will definitely be using her again and would recommend to others.”

They even sent me pictures of my babies which made my day even better known my babies were doing good!! I would highly recommend these two for your dog sitting needs!!”

“Julianna agreed to a last minute house sitting request for our dog Augie, who suffers from separation anxiety. She made it a point to show up early to meet Augie and ensure she understood everything he would need for the evening. Augie loved her right away and Julianna took great care of him, giving him lots of attention and affection. We highly recommend Julianna and will definitely keep her on the top of our list for future sittings!”

Outstanding! Came by beforehand to meet the pups and learn all the "rules" our pups live by. Very communicative while we were gone. Touched base regularly and sent update pics and videos. Really putting our mind at ease. Pups were happy and calm when we returned. Definitely will book again!!
