Brandi is the best! She took notes on what needed to be done during the drop in and made sure to do them all (and some!). She was great about taking some photo updates and giving Copernicus plenty of attention before leaving. So happy we found her to watch our furbaby while we were gone!

Joy was very easy to work with, took great care of our cats and even our house too. She fed, watered, played with, loved on, and cleaned up after 5 cats for a week straight with just a few days of notice. She dropped our keys off the day we returned home and provided lots of updates on our pets. Really good experience and would ask her to watch them all 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 experience in veterinary clinics, so I know how to handle anxious pets. My time in vet clinics and animal shelters allow me to navigate pets that I am meeting for the first time. I am a pre veterinary student at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, so I spend a lot of time studying and attending classes. Pet care gives me a short and enjoyable break. I am very good at forming bonds with animals. I pay great attention to the body language of pets and respect the feelings they express.

About: As a lifelong dog owner and current dog mom myself, I love all pups! I'm an early childhood special ed teacher who's looking to love on some fur babies this summer. Whether your dog needs a serious power walk or a chill potty break and snuggles, I've got them covered! I'm comfortable with basic command reinforcement, can stick to mealtime routines or a quick brush-out if needed! I'm happy to treat them as my own! :) I have not had cats before but am happy to feed or give your kitties some love as well! I'm a special education teacher on summer break which means my availability is flexible! I will be off of work beginning May 26th. I do have my own pup at home so I prefer to do check ins and walks as needed! Because I like to stay active with my own family, friends and pup during the break, I do require at least 48 hours of notice for bookings. I am generally available between 8am to 8pm. Since I have my own pup, I'm only doing house calls! Your dog will get my full attention in the comfort of their own neighborhood. I will make sure to check pavements before a walk and make sure collars/harnesses are firmly attached before we head out. You'll get plenty of photo updates!

Jenee did an amazing job taking care of our cats. Our Garfield and Morticia were always excited to see her and get pets. Our cats really enjoyed her company. She even went above and beyond to even feed and water the outside feral cats that like to take up residence on our porch. Next time we go out of town we will definitely be more than happy to have Jenee watch our cats. They will be in good hands.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and have three dogs ranging from 6 pounds to 60 pounds. I’ve been looking after pets since I was a child and have experience with all kinds of companions. Right now, I share my home with three dogs—60 lbs, 25 lbs, and 6 lbs—so I’m very comfortable managing different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Over the years, I’ve also cared for cats, birds, fish, gerbils, and even snakes. I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. Let me take something off your plate, whether it be dog walking , dog sitting, drop in’s or boarding. I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule to help to care for your pet. I’m available on weekdays and weekends with a little bit of notice! 🐾 I’m dependable and safety-focused, and I’ll care for your pet the same way I care for my own. I have three wonderful dogs and a fully fenced backyard, so safety is always top of mind in my home.

Joy took excellent care of my cat Truffles. I was nervous about leaving her for so long. Truffles requires daily medication. She's a rescue, and I work from home so I thought she'd be lonely. Joy sent photos and updates, which I appreciated. She took excellent care of Truffles, and even watered my plants! Thank you, Joy!
