House Sitting in East Alton

“Gemma took great care of both of our large dogs. She stayed at our house for two nights, played with the pups until they were wore out and gave us frequent pupdates. She also cares for other animals as she took care of our conure. She left the house spotless and was very pleasant to deal with.”

About: I have had between 2-4 animals in my house since I was a kid. I have been pet sitting animals from kittens/puppies all the way up to 16 years old for the past 4 years consistently. I am good with helping animals take their meds and will interact with animals at their pace. I am currently working a part time job and starting full online classes so I can get my masters. This means that I will be free most of the time and will be able to make my schedule fit around my clients needs. In my clients home I will make sure to follow instructions given to me, ensuring I am familiar with all details to give the animals the best care. I will take any animals that enjoy walks for those in the area or to a park if they need to get energy out, play with them outside, or play with them inside. I follow a routine for feeding and for any meds they might have to take, while also checking to make sure they have full and clean water daily. If I am cat sitting I will make sure to check and scoop the litter daily as well if needed.

“10/10 recommend she was very good with my high energy dog and it is hard to find someone who is as good with him as her, will definitely use her again. Glad to have found her!”

About: I have owned a dog and at least one cat my entire life. I've always felt I have a duty to give them as best of a life as possible. They chose us in a way, but we chose them as well. I have experience working with all different types of pet food, especially for the picky ones. I've given the typical pill pocket medications but have also given insulin in the past. As long as I'm shown what to do, I shouldn't have any problems :) Please let me know if you have any questions, I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule! I currently have one dog with my spouse who needs daily care with the typical pet needs! I'm not working at the moment so my schedule is flexible. I like to be detailed oriented, especially when I'm responsible for someone else's property.i know feedings and medications need to be precise and that safety is number one. Dogs are always leashed when not in a fenced yard and I'm always on the lookout for cars when walking!

“Gabbi was AMAZING with my animals. She watched my two dogs, cat, and fed some of my reptiles. She went slow with my fearful dog so she could warm up to Gabbi. Gabbi updated me daily to let me know what was going on! We also had a snow storm pass by and Gabbi made sure my dogs were ok in the snow and wiped their paws when coming in. She also shoveled my driveway which she did not need to do but did it anyway!! I appreciate everything she did for me and will be definitely rebooking with her!”

I love pets of all kinds and I’ve been taking care of cats, dogs, reptiles, and amphibians for my whole life! I love animals so much the only thing stopping me from becoming a Vet is having to put them down. I personally have two cats Mischief and Diva that get along very well with other cats. If my cats are a problem, they can easily be put away while your pets are at my home! I’m a very friendly, outgoing, and passionate person just looking for some pets to love, cuddle, and walk in my free time for some extra cash. They say if you love your job you’ll never work a day in your life! I work part-time at CVS Pharmacy located 10 minutes from my house. My hours of availability are: Monday: 5AM-7AM & 6PM-7PM Tuesday/Thursday: 5AM-7AM Wednesday/Friday: 5AM-8AM & 3PM-7PM Saturday/Sunday: All day For those requiring a boarding service, please note that I will not be available to tend to your pet **during the day outside of the specified hours above. I do have a Cat Cam for close monitoring while away. **Pets will continue to be tended to during the evening hours past 7pm. The environment contains a Cat Cam for close monitoring while away, 7ft cat tree, an automated litter box, free feeding kibble, filtered water fountain, many interactive toys, a window mounted bird feeder for some live CatTV, as well as some cat grass and lemonbalm plants to nibble on. I hope to make every experience the most enjoyable experience for both you and your furry friend(s)!

About: I work 8-4:30pm Monday through Friday, I can do before work and after work depending on the time and area pretty much always available on weekends feel free to reach out 😃. I have been around animals my whole life. As a child we had three American Bull dogs. I have taken care of animals for friends when they were out of town until they return home. I personally have a dog named Simba, he’s very loving and loves attention. We go on walks and play fetch, he gets spoiled with toys weekly. Pet care fits into my schedule because I can drop in before and after work. Weekends I’m free all through out the day so plenty of time for extra attention! I work from home three days out of the week Monday - Friday and go in twice a week. I follow all owner rules and like to send pictures and videos of their happy fur babies. I care for Simba by taking him potty regularly making sure he has plenty of food and water. We go for walks when the weather lets us.

About: I was dog sitting without getting paid so I enjoy it, animals usually respond well to me, and I don’t mind spending my time with our furry friends I’m working part time at a grocery store and I’m off Tuesday and Thursday and needed a second job to save up, might as well a job I enjoy I’ll give them lots of pets, play with them, if your pet has a schedule for things I’ll do it on time, always being gentle with them

“Janay & Carlton did wonderfully at our place with our critters. We were gone for 10 days and our anxious goldendoodle, young poodle, and teenager cat were very well taken care of. The house was very well kept and everything just as we left it. We will absolutely be rebooking them next time we leave town. Thanks y’all!!”

“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!”

“Evelyn is a super responsible home and pet sitter, our Golden girl Pennie just adores her! We are always able to enjoy our trip knowing our home and Golden girl is in very good hands <3”

About: I have experience caring for high-energy dogs, including golden retrievers, managing multiple pets, and handling routines calmly. My experience with young children has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and reliability as a sitter. Caring for pets is part of my daily routine. I schedule regular walks, playtime, feeding, and attention, ensuring dogs stay active, happy, and well-cared for while I work remotely. I provide attentive care in my client’s home, including regular walks, playtime, feeding, and monitoring. I maintain routines, offer companionship, and ensure pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared for.

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 working 9-5 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 also available before work and after work to care for your pets. 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.

“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”

“Elena communicates well. She is very responsive and polite. Most importantly she took great care of my dog and my house. I will definitely book her again if she is available.”

“Karrie is a totally delightful person. You can tell by her enthusiasm that she just loves animals of all kinds. Our rather grumpy cat walked right up to her and started purring - he NEVER does that for an "outsider". We found Karrie to be very timely in her responses to questions and schedule changes. We'll certainly use her again in the future and would recommend her to everyone in need of a pet sitter. You will love her!”
