“Rina was great with our dogs. They instantly bonded with her due to her warm and welcoming nature. She sent us frequent pictures and updates while we were away. She spent a week at our home with our dogs, which we believe they enjoyed. We will not hesitate to use her again when needed and could not recommend her highly enough.”

“Beth was great with our animals! She kept us up-to-date on how things were going, made sure we got pictures, and spent a lot of time with them the week we were gone. The house looked great when we got home, and the animals seemed to have had a great time!”


About: As a detail-oriented college student, I bring a high level of responsibility and energy to pet sitting. Whether your dog needs a high-intensity power walk or a calm afternoon of companionship, I’m dedicated to following your care instructions to the letter. I have experience with a variety of breeds and energy levels, ensuring every pup stays on their routine and feels loved. I’m punctual, observant, and ready to treat your pet like my own. I currently work park time at OSF medical center and go to school full-time at Illinois State University, I live in peoria and commute daily. Most days I have class in the morning and work at night but am free in the afternoons. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am in Bloomington from 7am-7pm. I currently have an adorable havanese poodle and also had a wheaten terrier in the past. I’m well versed in caring for intelligent, affectionate, and high maintenance breeds. I understand the importance of consistent grooming, mental stimulation, and plenty of lap time! I treat every dog with the same patience and specialized attention I give my own.
“CLAIRE was a 100/10!! Her care of our dog was absolutely amazing! He usually is very nervous and gets upset when we are away and he was so comfortable with her the entire time we were gone. It made our vacation 1000 times more relaxing. We can’t thank her enough!”

“Kara is the best. She did a great job caring for both our older dog and our young, energetic and not yet fully-trained puppy. I highly recommend her. She clearly loves the animals.”

“We couldn't be more grateful for the amazing care our pets received! Not only was she incredibly sweet and caring, but she also handled an unexpected emergency. Her quick think and clear communication made all the difference. We came home to happy dogs.”

About: I’m very easy going. I love to take them for walks, get them a pup cup, parks, etc.. If they have meds or a certain diet that’s not a problem. As well as if they have any other specific needs, I will make sure to meet them. You can expect regular updates and pictures if wanted. I believe every dog should get love and attention so I will make sure not to be a stranger to them! Hope they love their tummy tickled too! Let me know if you have any questions:) I work at OSF St. Francis Medical Center, I am part time from 7am-1pm. I do online schooling therefore I would only be gone during the morning/ afternoon. The rest of the day is fully for the pups! In my clients home they have either a fenced yard or a shock collar to keep them in. One of my clients has specific diets and medication for both of their dogs and prefers if they are walked daily as well! (no extra charge for walking ofc). They text me the details or they write on a piece of paper and leave notes. I have no problem following directions, it is better to be more specific though when telling them. And I do send pics and update my clients if asked or necessary!
About: I have been taking care of various sized animals for the past several years. I am comfortable giving medications if need be and following any special instructions you may have for your four-legged babies! I am currently in college classes full time Monday-Thursday, however after 1pm I am fully available! This is not a hindrance at all when caring for your pets in your home. I prefer to stay in your home if watching your animals for an extended period of time, but if you are not comfortable with that I certainly understand and am happy to visit your house throughout the day as needed to attend to your furry loved ones!
About: Hello, my name is Olivia and I have always had a love and passion for all types of animals, dogs especially. I have experience in being around larger dogs after being raised with a golden retriever and two german shepherds. Me and my husband now own a Bernese Mountain Dog who we love and care for so much. I am very active and love walking, hiking and running outdoors. Taking your dog out for walks would be very enjoyable and fun for me to do on a daily basis.

I am a full time freelancer who works from home so I can be available to help with anything as my schedule is very flexible.
“Staci did an excellent job house/dog sitting for us. She was so attentive to our dogs & treated them like family. We got home & the house was spotless with a detailed description of the events of the weekend. She is by far one of the best sitters we have ever worked with!”

Morgan is the absolute best! She stepped up for us and housesat our dog when we had some last minute boarding complications due to our pup’s health, and we may now only exclusively hire her because she is so wonderful. We got daily reports and pics, and our dog was so spoiled by her. She also cared for our guinea pigs and fish and did a great job… would have her back in a heartbeat!
