About: From dogs, cats, gerbils, and even pigs, I’ve been taking care of a variety of pets since I was a kid. I’ve always had a passion for animals and would love to be considered for taking care of yours! I’m a stay-at-home mom who can dedicate the time to be there for your pet when you’re afar. Since I am home a majority of the day, if not all, I’m only a step away from your pet making sure his/her needs are taken care of. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs of my own. They are getting up there in age, so they tend to keep more to themselves (when they aren’t sleeping).

“Amber was great with Gus! She walked him longer than I asked & brought him back to me tired and happy. I will definitely use her again ?”

About: With years of experience in high-end dog training, sitting, and walking, I offer more than just pet care—I provide expert, personalized attention for your dog. I understand canine behavior on a deep level, ensuring your pup feels safe, engaged, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s reinforcing good manners, going on structured walks, or providing calm companionship, I treat every dog like my own. I currently work from home with a flex work schedule, which makes me available for pet care anytime. I can work my schedule to be tailored to your pets needs. I have a large back yard and dogs of my own to keep your fur baby company. For walks, I tailor each to your fur baby’s needs, spending more time outside with high energy dogs, and taking shorter walks for older pets. All walks and care come with the most snuggles.

“Amazing experience. Gabby was a very easy going and cared well for our dogs. She is a professional and I highly recommend her. Once you meet her, your mind will be at ease knowing your pets and safe and sound in her care. Great communications throughout the experience. 100% recommend and will call on her again!”

About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of animals my whole life. I treat each pet like a cherished family member, and not just a job. I emphasize building trust, understanding individual pet personalities, and providing compassionate, attentive care that goes beyond basic feeding and watering. I work from home full time and can step away from my desk at anytime. If you have nervous dogs that can’t be left alone for long periods of time, my schedule allows me to work from anywhere and I can spend the day with them. I can easily take care of all your pets needs, walks? You got it. Sitting with your dog through a thunderstorm? Absolutely. I want to make sure that your dog doesn’t get thrown out of their routine, when I’m coming into others homes.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I can play with them, pick up after them, bathe them and make sure they’re happy and well fed. And I can take the dog on short or long walks and make sure they’re happy and safe. Also for house sitting I’ll make sure the house is clean and any messes the dog makes is cleaned up as well I’m a student at an online university, but I am taking a break from perusing my BS in forensic accounting. So I have plenty of time to watch your pets. I have two dogs that I take care of with my family. And they are well cared for and I play with them throughout the day and feed them when they need to be fed.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life. You can rest assured your pups, big and small, will get all the love and attention while you’re away. I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday, but have three pups of my own at home and can board additional pups overnight during the week and can do daytime walks on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and keep your pets separated from my household pets unless they are long-time visitors and we know everyone gets along well.

“I cannot recommend Matthew enough for his exceptional care and attention to detail when it comes to taking care of furry friends. Knowing that your beloved pet is being looked after with such love and care allows you to enjoy your time away without worry. I loved the pics provided and updates. He really made him feel loved and part of his family while dropping in.”

About: Hi! I'm Dannielle, I've been a certified dog groomer for 5 years. Dogs are my passion! I have 3 pups of my own- a special needs shepherd, a spunky 2 year old pit mix, and my sweet senior boy. On my off time I enjoy making homemade dog treats, jerky, and doing dog crafts such as making collar flowers and bandannas. As a groomer I am always continuing my canine education, especially related to safe dog handling. My goal in life is to meet all the pups! Being in a salon management position I do have a good amount of flexibility with my schedule. I will be available for drop-in visits and walks in the evenings and select day visits. I’m also available for overnight pet sitting during the week and on every other weekend. I do not care for pets in my home due to my personal dogs however I am open and adaptable to care for your pet at your home however you see fit. Keeping a steady routine is important for our furs. I am comfortable walking dogs on leash, in a fenced yard off leash, and with crate training.

About: I’ve had many pets throughout my life! I’ve had dogs, cats, a bunny and a hedgehog! I’ve worked for an independent pet sitter before! I’ve taken a couple training classes with my own fur babies so I know a little bit about training. I’ve helped nurse kittens as well! I work M-F 8am-5/6pm & have weekends off. I do sometimes change my work schedule around for pet visits so I charge a cancellation fee for cancellations that are 2 days before. My own pets are kenneled throughout the day when no one is home. They go outside regularly about every 2 hours when someone is home. I feed them early morning & when I get home from work. We work through our training exercises daily! I take care of my clients pets however they have asked me to and treat them as if they are my own fur babies! Your pets will know nothing but love & fun when I’m with them!

About: Southern Illinois born and raised! I’ve been around animals all my life and have loved every second of it, from puppies to seniors I have all around experience. Tend well to schedules, love walking and playing with the fur babies! I am currently a stay at home mom to my sweet two year old little girl. My husband is in the Marine corps and we just moved back after 7 years of being gone from Illinois and now stationed on Scott! With my husband’s schedule I have the flexibility of doing what I love and that’s carrying for the fur babies! My house is a two story with baby gates at the top and bottom stairs. I have a fenced in yard, with two precious little fur babies. If you crate your animal my laundry room is on the main floor of the home and is quite spacious for crates or if you allow free roam the downstairs is where your little one will be!

About: Growing up my mom was a professional dog trainer so we always had different dogs in the house. I learned how to do everything from basic care to in depth trick training. My friends, family, and neighbors have always relied on my to care and train their dogs ever since I was young. I have a puppy, an almost 2 year old, and a senior dog in my own home so I am able to care for any age. I am currently a student but there is always someone available to care for the animals in my home. Typically I leave home by 8am and return by 1pm every week day. I am home in the evenings and all weekend. I have a fenced in yard and three friendly dogs that love to play. I have plenty of dog toys and bones to keep everyone busy and happy. All dogs must be up-to-date on vaccinations in order to stay.

“Heather and her crew bring a dependable exciting, socializing aspect to her service is top notch! She asked and offered first and, it was a bonus i had not factored in. She gives my dogs tons of attention and pack like walks. Even going further than expected on the beautiful days. I can not say enough great things about her. And, her kids helping is an aspect i did not expect. She has asked if she can include her dog on the walks sometimes. I told her absolutely! The more socializing with anyone, anywhere has been really great! And, above and beyond expectation. I highly recommend her for anyone with puppies, empty nesters like me, and or, dogs that have lost their fur sibling. Exceptional! Worth every penny and then some!”
