About: I’m a Registered Nurse with a strong passion for animal care. I have experience working with a wide range of pets, including those with special needs. Whether it's administering medications and injections or simply providing attentive, compassionate care, I’m committed to supporting the health and well-being of your pet, whether they have fur, feathers, or scales.! 🐾💉💖 I work flexible daytime hours Monday through Friday, which allows me to offer early morning check-ins, afternoon walks, and evening care. Please note that Rover’s morning time slot is set from 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM, but I’m specifically available from 6:00 AM to 8:30 AM during weekdays. I’m also available all weekend long to give your pet the attention and care they deserve! I share my home with two senior dogs who enjoy sunbathing and cozy naps, so I understand the importance of meeting each pet’s unique needs. I'm experienced in caring for multiple animals with different routines and preferences, and I make sure every day includes a balance of walks, interactive play, and downtime for cuddles and relaxation. I also have hands-on experience with special needs pets and am comfortable administering medications, including injections. I focus on creating a calm, reassuring environment—especially for animals who may be nervous or require extra care. Whether your dog thrives on long walks, a lively game of fetch, or quiet time on the couch, I’ll tailor their care to match their personality and routine. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be treated with the same attention and affection I give my own.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for both dogs and cats — especially the snuggly ones.

I pride myself on the research I’ve done to maintain my pets health and happiness. I will extend that same care and attention to your baby, because they really are like family. While I have routines, I enjoy the spontaneous moments of fun and play with all pets.

“Emily has taken care of our dog for the past few months, sometimes several nights a week while I’ve been at work. I couldn’t say better things about her and her professionalism. She is the best caregiver you could ask for when it comes to your furry friends. I HIGHLY recommend her and her services.”


“This was Jenee’s first time sitting for us and everything went great! She gave us super daily updates on each of our kitty boys and even cleaned up a plant they knocked over. We really appreciated her help and professionalism with our little guys and will be happy to ask her to cat-sit again.”


About: I have had my own pets since I was a young child. I have taken care of many of my friends, family, neighbors, and church members pets over the years. I love dogs and kitties and believe they deserve to be well taken care of. They depend on us to be good to them and are at our mercy. If they are mistreated they can't say anything. This makes it that much more important to be good to our pets. I am not currently working so I have a lot of free time. I have 6 grown children who are on thier own. Two in college, the rest with their own families. I have one friendly lab mix who loves playmates. A fenced in yard, doggie door, and all hardwood floors so accidents are not tragic! I am within walking distance of our city bike/walking trail for long doggie walks.

About: I have taken care of my two animals my whole life. I also have watched many friends and family pets my whole life. I absolutely love all animals and have even had ducks, turtles, bunnies, squirrels, and more. I’m a sophomore in college at SIUE and I have a very free schedule. My class schedule ranges from 1-3 classes a day which allows me to let the dog out in between these classes and with the dog the majority of the day. The only time I’m out other than class is for a short workout or playing pickleball with friends. I can easily walk or let dogs outside anytime throughout the day before and after class. I love cuddling and playing with the animals anytime they want to.

“Paige has looked after our cat for all our trips. Our recent trip was fairly long and Paige kept us updated on our cat everyday. Lots of pictures and good communication. Our cat also loves hanging out with her!”


About: Hey there! My name is Saama, and I would love to care for your fur babies. II have always been surrounded with dogs, I grew up with them so they are just part of my essential. So technically, my experience with them goes way past 10 years but I officially began pet sitting 10 years ago. Furthermore, I have 3 dogs that are my own, 2 big boys and a third medium one. Waldo is my yellow lab, Mootz is my golden and Bubba is my cattle dog. I am very familiar with caring for dogs and cats of all ages. Mootz, is a special needs dog that requires intense care and I have crafted my life to ensure I am able to provide that level of care. Animals are filled with so much love and I am privileged to be able to provide them for a place to feel safe and loved back. If you have any concerns or questions or require any special accommodations, please do not hesitate to reach out. Caring for your pets is priority. They will always be treated as family because that’s what our fur babies are. I am a pre-med student who is taking a break from school for a while. During this time, i am setting up my own company so my work is extremely flexible and being that my team consists of people from around the world, I usually work different hours. This allows me immense flexibility because I am rarely required to be someplace at a specific time. In part, I have created this schedule so that I can reserve all my time for my babies and yours! I truly believe that pets are more precious than we are and with their lives being far too short, I want to provide them with the best, this is why, I don’t really have restrictions in my home. They are free to rest wherever they would like. That being said, if their habits are different in your home, I will ensure to reinforce that within my home as well so that they have a consistent lifestyle. I have a fully fenced-in yard, a puppy gate within the home to block of stairs and avoid accidents, and I also have a gate in front of my door to ensure complete safety. We have plenty of toys, grooming supplies, and pet care supplies. I also have a Furbo Nanny camera in my home that alerts me to any activity. I promise to provide a safe and loving environment for your pets.

On M/W/F I am available anytime after 12pm to come care for your pets. I am looking to be doing home visits rather than dog boarding because I am currently living in an apartment and do not have the space needed to provide quality care for your pets. I am willing to do drop in visits and in the past am used to doing that type of care for my clients.

About: I have a 9 year old English bulldog so I am very familiar with specials needs animals. I understand allergies, food sensitivities and medications. I also have a 6 year old lab who is still very much a puppy and enjoys her play time! I am a full time stay at home dog mom just looking to meet some new babies and make some money on the side. I travel full time with my hubby so this would be a great way for me to get out and socialize. I never let my own dogs out of my sight when we are outside so I will do the same with your babies. I am very observant and attentive. I also believe that if your dog doesn’t like someone then you probably shouldn’t either.
