“I'm beyond happy with the service I received. She made sure to communicate and check in with me everyday at the times I specified for Midnight. I normally come home and midnight looks sad and depressed when others have watched her. I came in and she was so happy, energized and very well taken care of. My house looks the same, nothing out of place or damaged. Thank you so much Gabrielle. I will definitely continue to use her and reference her to my other dog parents. Thank you!!!”
“Thank you so much for making my dogs feel happy! The pictures you share during your time with them shows how much they enjoy play time, pee time and feed time. I feel secure my dogs are well taken care of. I will continue to call on you when we you! Thank you again!”
“Allyson was GREAT! my first time leaving my babies alone with someone that wasn’t family. she sent pictures everyday. took them on walks that were time appropriate to the heat or walked them at night. She gave one of my dogs a calming treat when it was stormy weather because he’s storm scared. she provided all of us with the comfort of great care!”
“Courtney is truly amazing! I had a last minute request and she responded the same day and I was lucky enough that she was available. Very professional and friendly. She absolutely listens to what you need and does it all. I am definitely a repeating client.”
“Sara has been so helpful, communicative and wonderful! She was extra patient with our grumpy old man =) We highly recommend Sara for your pet sitting or drop in needs! Can’t wait to have her back in the future. Thanks Sara!”
“Bethany did such an amazing job! She was able to take our request last minute when our other sitter fell through and literally saved my birthday weekend. Her notes were thorough and I knew our babies were being well taken care of. 10/10 recommend!”
About: I was born and raised in Germany where it is considered animal cruelty not to walk you dog 3 times a day. So walking your dog no matter rain or shine will never be an inconvenience to me! I got my first dog at 10, he lived until 17! I have a 5 year old Great Pyrenees, a hedgehog and a Bearded Dragon. I love dogs (or any kind of pet), always have! My dog belongs to my family and I treat him like that. My 11 year old son calls our dog his brother. I would love to welcome your dogs(s) into my home so you don't have to worry about them! We will take care of your fur baby like it's our own.
“Ali did an awesome job with our 4 fur babies, I think they love her more than us now. She was very attentive to their medications making sure they took the right amount, on time, and even had to add a day worth of medication because of issues our trip incurred. She was very diligent about making sure they had plenty of playtime (fetch) weather permitting. I'm thinking she might want to take up dog photography because she got quite of few fabulous pictures that we can never seem to get. The only reason I wouldn't recommend her is because I want her just for my fur babies, in all seriousness I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER for taking care of fur babies (dogs) especially if they have to take oral medication.”

About: The last 20 years I haven’t gone without a dog or cat in my home. I wouldn’t imagine one without! I have my babygirl German named Maggie and my old man kitty named Frank! These 2 are my world. I am always a go-to for friends and family when they need a quick drop in to be fed or walked or a sleepover for a few days! Whether your pet wants a day filled with frisbee and pool time or snuggles on the couch I’m your gal! Part time student and part time working! I have a good amount of free time throughout the day due to my very flexible online school schedule and work schedule. I live around 2-3 large parks with trails and plenty of wide open space for walks and playtime. Whether your pet wants more playtime with toys inside and outside or just cuddles on the couch I am beyond ready for either one.
“Excellent for a difficult situation with two cats that have only been cared for by two people the last 10 years. One cat that hid on every visit. She was still able to keep both of them fed and looking great on my return.”
About: I have taken care of so many different dogs and cats and other pets since I was 10 years old. I have watched for friends and family and really enjoy spending time with pets. I work on reduced time at amazon so I work on Sundays, Monday and Tuesdays and then on thursdays and fridays I work at a dog boarding facility. I take care of pets in the clients home just because my dogs don't get along with other pets. But I give the pets 24 hour love and attention. I love taking dogs on walks and playing fetch with them. I also love when the dogs sleep with me at night. I can also take care of pets that have medications too.
About: I provide pet sitting in my home for puppies and small dogs (under 20 lbs). I also provide drop in services to your home and dog walking. My son and I have have been dog walking and sitting for others in the Riverbend area for the past 10 years. I LOVE traveling so I know how important (and difficult) it is to find a dog sitter you can trust and rely on while you're gone. I love all dogs and enjoy meeting new clients whether I am dropping in for visits or walks or boarding in my home. Please reach out with any questions. I am a mother of two adult children and work a hybrid schedule. I have lots of free time and have been dog walking and sitting for over 10 years with my son. We started dog walking and sitting together when he was 12 and he will be starting college soon and I want to continue our side business on my own. We have 2 acres on a cul-de-sac in Godfrey and enjoy talking walks. We have a large home that is safe and dog friendly. I can also do drop-ins while you are away.
