Marjorie does a great job with our dog. I love how much she communicates with us. It means a lot that my dog is really comfortable around her.

I was worried leaving my somewhat nervous dog, Julia, and two cats, Jinx and Ollie, for a few nights alone while traveling for work. My dog gets especially lonely—as she is very attached to me. Laszlo came over a few days to meet the animals and I was impressed with his ability to connect with Julia and make her feel comfortable within the first half-hour. Laszlo visited the animals 3x a day (while I originally requested just 2) to make sure Julia got walks and love, and really spent his time with them. I appreciated the photos, detailed reports, and care he had for all of my pets (one of cats is particularly rambunctious and tries to go out and Laszlo handled Jinx with care and respect and also kept him in—which was great!). Not worrying about the animals while working was truly a gift, and I highly highly recommend him. Can’t say enough good things.

About: I have worked with my dog Onyx since getting him (now AKC Good Citizen) and as well as potty training. I have had many dogs since a young age as well. I’m currently in school and want to help out with morning pet activities or necessities . Also possibly also incorporate my own dog with having new friends. My pets are on scheduled feeding times and timely walks and play. Walks mainly around the city and local parks. Also socializing in pet friendly stores and car rides in harnessed car seats and/or carriers.

I recently had the pleasure of using Jeanette for my diabetic kitty, Stella, and I couldn't be happier with the care provided. From the start, Jeanette was incredibly attentive and professional, ensuring that she understood Stella's special needs and medication schedule. During my time away, Jeanette kept me updated with regular photos and detailed messages about how Stella was doing, which gave me great peace of mind. Stella requires precise insulin administration and a strict feeding routine, and Jeanette handled everything perfectly. It's clear that Jeanette has a genuine love for animals and a solid understanding of how to care for pets with special medical needs. When I returned, I took solace knowing Stella had been well-cared for. I highly recommend Jeanette for anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate pet sitter, especially if your pet has special medical needs. Thank you, Jeanette, for your exceptional service!

Sarah took care of both my dog and cat while I was on vacation for a week last year. When I got home, I realized she had gone above and beyond. Both of them were taken care of, the litter box was clean, and their toys were even organized. The only bad thing was that I had to step up my game to be their favorite again!

About: I’ve had pets my entire life. I currently have 2 lab mix dogs that I couldn’t imagine life without. I would want the best care for mine so I intend to provide the best care for yours!! I’m currently a paraprofessional at Carterville Intermediate School so I’m free evenings, weekends, holidays, and in the summer. I work from 8-3 so I’m able to do potty breaks before and after work. Brutus and LeRoy are my 2 fellas. They enjoy playing at the dog park and relaxing in front of a window to sunbathe. Both are spoiled but Brutus (being the oldest) decidedly gets away with more!!

Coen did a great job taking care of my pets. He was responsive to my messages and easy to communicate with. It's clear that he cares deeply about animals and goes the extra mile to make sure they are happy and well cared for. My dog has some trust issues with new people and he was incredibly sensitive to her special needs and now they are best friends! I definitely recommend him to other pet parents and will use him again myself.

Anthony has been watching all my cats and my dog for the past 3 years. He is loving patient and considerate. His attention to detail when I give him a list of things my dog requires is super helpful in making me Feel better. As a veteran myself I have needed to ask him to watch my dog for extended period of time while I was away on duty and he has been wonderful in communicating and calling while me to FaceTime my dog while I was overseas. Couldn’t ask for a better companion for my dog than a Marine. My animals love him more than me.

Megan is the BEST! When we had our German Shepherd Sadie, we asked her to trim her nails and babysit her a few times while my husband and I went out of town, and I swear that dog came back to us happier than ever! She loves dogs and I am so thankful for that. I can vouch that she will take care of any of your doggos needs! :)

I have known Chantelle for almost a decade in a professional and personal capacity. She is very professional and is also an animal lover. She has taken care of our dogs, chickens, ducks, and turkeys when we were out of town. Chantelle is very responsible and respectful, also always on time.

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. I own 2 dogs now, a lab/blue heeler/great Dane mix, as well as a daschund. The best of both worlds! I really respect and understand dogs. I am a college student and I work as a medical intern, but I am looking for something else to branch out in as well for my free time. I have my own 2 cats and 2 dogs, and I have availability from 3 pm-10pm in the afternoon on M, T, R, F. Saturdays, I can help out 5-10pm. I have open availability on Sundays. I offer a regular feeding schedule, and several times going outside in the day to potty and play. I also am known for walking my dogs for miles upon miles! Its great for their mental and physical health, as well as mine!
