House Sitting in Galesburg

“Alexis did a great job looking after two of our animals and our home. This was our first time leaving our youngest dog who has some separation anxiety and she did a great job with her. Alexis sent multiple text updates, had open line of communication and lots of cutie photos. She also did somethings that were above and beyond what we booked her for and it was so helpful and nice. Thankful for her help while we were gone and definitely will be using her services again.”

About: I have been babysitting and dog sitting since I was in middle school, which has given me years of experience in being responsible, attentive, and patient. I love staying active and being outdoors, so I’m always happy to take pets for long walks or keep kids engaged with fun activities. Whether I’m following a specific care routine or just providing some extra playtime, I pride myself on being dependable and treating every home with respect. While my schedule varies with my part-time job, I am very flexible and able to work around my shifts to make accommodations for your pet's needs. I am a full-time student taking online courses, which allows me to be home frequently and maintain a presence for pets who need extra attention. I am dedicated to coordinating my time to ensure your furry friends are never left without care and get plenty of playtime throughout the day. I provide a safe and loving environment for every pet I watch, no matter where I’m at. Having been around animals since middle school, I understand the importance of trust and consistent routines. I am very active and enjoy taking dogs on long walks or playing outdoors, ensuring they stay happy and healthy. I am also comfortable following any specific safety instructions or crating needs to keep your pet feeling secure.

I also keep the home tidy, monitor the pet’s health and behavior, and send regular updates so owners feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for.

“Excellent service for house sitting with a demanding male cat - Sabbat. I booked a 10-night stay with the best sitter to watch my cat. He was well taken care of during my absence and Mary went above and beyond my expectations! My cat loved her and is still looking for her..even his coat improved from so much petting and care. She tidied the house, washed the dishes, took care of my kitty, and covered all of the details. I have a complicated home and Mary took care of every single detail impeccably. SHE SENT MOVIES, VIDEOS, UPDATES! I COULD NOT HAVE WISHED FOR A BETTER SITTER. Mary was awesome....”

About: I began providing pet care at 13 years old, starting with friends and family before expanding through social media to serve a wide range of clients. My experience includes dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, medication administration, enrichment, and personalized care. What began as a passion has grown into a trusted, professional pet care service. For more about my background, visit me at Jet Set Pet Care. Animal care is intentionally built into my daily and weekly routine to ensure consistency and reliability for every client. I structure my schedule around morning, midday, and evening care windows to accommodate feeding times, walks, litter maintenance, and enrichment visits. I limit bookings to maintain quality and punctuality, allowing me to provide attentive, unrushed care. Weekly planning includes route organization, client communication, and follow-ups to ensure each pet’s needs are met. Pet care is not a side task for me — it is a priority and a structured part of my routine. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and the specific service requested. In a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal schedule to reduce stress — including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning, medication if needed, enrichment, and plenty of affection. I closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being and provide detailed updates with photos.

About: I used to live on a ranch including dogs and cats. I’ve had many years of caring for them and when anything happens to them, I’m the first one that gets called to get asked what they can do to help them. I am full time Monday-Friday but I would love to take care of your pets after! Anytime after 4:30 will be the best time I can come after work but on the days I’m off, anytime works Whatever the rules are, I will follow them. If dogs are needed to be crated at a certain time, I can do that and if they need free time constantly then I am all for that as well.

“Kara did amazing with Stella! I never leave Stella alone, she goes everywhere with me but I had complete peace of mind leaving her in Kara’s care over the weekend! She sent me the best, cutest pictures of little Stella Bean and kept me updated through the night and morning! Definitely an amazing experience overall!”
