About: I’m a Registered Nurse with a strong passion for animal care. I have experience working with a wide range of pets, including those with special needs. Whether it's administering medications and injections or simply providing attentive, compassionate care, I’m committed to supporting the health and well-being of your pet, whether they have fur, feathers, or scales.! 🐾💉💖 I work flexible daytime hours Monday through Friday, which allows me to offer early morning check-ins, afternoon walks, and evening care. Please note that Rover’s morning time slot is set from 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM, but I’m specifically available from 6:00 AM to 8:30 AM during weekdays. I’m also available all weekend long to give your pet the attention and care they deserve! I share my home with two senior dogs who enjoy sunbathing and cozy naps, so I understand the importance of meeting each pet’s unique needs. I'm experienced in caring for multiple animals with different routines and preferences, and I make sure every day includes a balance of walks, interactive play, and downtime for cuddles and relaxation. I also have hands-on experience with special needs pets and am comfortable administering medications, including injections. I focus on creating a calm, reassuring environment—especially for animals who may be nervous or require extra care. Whether your dog thrives on long walks, a lively game of fetch, or quiet time on the couch, I’ll tailor their care to match their personality and routine. You can feel confident knowing your pet will be treated with the same attention and affection I give my own.

“Joy was wonderful while taking care of our dog for three weeks!! She was timely, attentive and provided us with constant updates. :) Our dog absolutely loved her! Highly recommend her, as she is extremely trustworthy and follows direction while exceeding expectations! Thank you so much Joy!! You put us at ease while we were away for our wedding.”

About: I grew up around pets and have always loved animals. I have cared for dogs and cats with special needs. I have cared for senior pets that have difficulty hearing and seeing and young puppies that are barely potty trained. I love caring for all animals and love the difference that every animal brings! Over the summer, I have availability all day on the weekend! During the week, I work part-time at a Physical Therapy clinic. I work 4 hours in the morning on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I work 8 hours on Monday and Wednesday but have a lunch break to check in on the pets and let them go potty. Your pets will get lots of love and attention. They will also get physical activity if requested. I understand how important it is to feel confident and secure when someone takes care of your pet and comes into your home. I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and close attention to their needs. I also take home security and privacy very seriously. You can count on me to follow any specific instructions you provide, keep your home safe and clean, and always maintain open communication. I aim to ensure you and your pet feel cared for and comfortable.

“Ali is outstanding at taking care of our cats. She gives a detailed report at the end of each visit, and she shares multiple photos every day. She takes the time to pay attention to each cat, which includes playing with the kitten. I know from the photos that the cats are happy to see Ali when she arrives.”

About: I bring a unique blend of patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals that helps me quickly build trust with both pets and their people. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs whether that means keeping a playful pup busy or making sure a senior dog feels safe and comfortable. Here’s a bit about my experience: • Puppy care, leash walking, and reinforcing basic commands • Senior dogs, with gentle handling, slower-paced walks, and medication routines • Special needs pets, providing calm, detail-oriented care • Administering medications (oral, topical, and injectable) • Multi-pet households, managing dynamics so everyone gets love and attention I always prioritize communication I’ll send regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I truly treat every animal as if they were my own, creating a calm and loving environment while you’re away. I’m planning to transition out of my hourly job and become a full-time sitter while in school. Balancing classes and work can be a lot, but pet care has always been something that brings me joy and helps me decompress. I carefully plan my schedule to make sure I’m fully present and attentive with every pet I care for. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I’m committed to providing consistent, loving, and reliable care that fits both your pet’s needs and my routine. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and engaging environment that matches each pet’s routine and comfort level. In my home, I keep things clean, pet-proofed, and stocked with toys, cozy spaces, and outdoor access for breaks and playtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific habits or routines. I make sure pets feel secure and loved, whether they’re in familiar surroundings or visiting mine.

“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 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 taken care of my two animals my whole life. I also have watched many friends and family pets my whole life. I absolutely love all animals and have even had ducks, turtles, bunnies, squirrels, and more. I’m a sophomore in college at SIUE and I have a very free schedule. My class schedule ranges from 1-3 classes a day which allows me to let the dog out in between these classes and with the dog the majority of the day. The only time I’m out other than class is for a short workout or playing pickleball with friends. I can easily walk or let dogs outside anytime throughout the day before and after class. I love cuddling and playing with the animals anytime they want to.

About: Hey there! My name is Saama, and I would love to care for your fur babies. II have always been surrounded with dogs, I grew up with them so they are just part of my essential. So technically, my experience with them goes way past 10 years but I officially began pet sitting 10 years ago. Furthermore, I have 3 dogs that are my own, 2 big boys and a third medium one. Waldo is my yellow lab, Mootz is my golden and Bubba is my cattle dog. I am very familiar with caring for dogs and cats of all ages. Mootz, is a special needs dog that requires intense care and I have crafted my life to ensure I am able to provide that level of care. Animals are filled with so much love and I am privileged to be able to provide them for a place to feel safe and loved back. If you have any concerns or questions or require any special accommodations, please do not hesitate to reach out. Caring for your pets is priority. They will always be treated as family because that’s what our fur babies are. I am a pre-med student who is taking a break from school for a while. During this time, i am setting up my own company so my work is extremely flexible and being that my team consists of people from around the world, I usually work different hours. This allows me immense flexibility because I am rarely required to be someplace at a specific time. In part, I have created this schedule so that I can reserve all my time for my babies and yours! I truly believe that pets are more precious than we are and with their lives being far too short, I want to provide them with the best, this is why, I don’t really have restrictions in my home. They are free to rest wherever they would like. That being said, if their habits are different in your home, I will ensure to reinforce that within my home as well so that they have a consistent lifestyle. I have a fully fenced-in yard, a puppy gate within the home to block of stairs and avoid accidents, and I also have a gate in front of my door to ensure complete safety. We have plenty of toys, grooming supplies, and pet care supplies. I also have a Furbo Nanny camera in my home that alerts me to any activity. I promise to provide a safe and loving environment for your pets.

About: I have been dog sitting and caring for pets since I was 10 years old. I have a huge passion for animals and have been volunteering at my local humane society for the past few years. I have animals of my own and am actually about to add a new puppy to my pet family! I am willing to walk, bathe, and feed your animals and make sure they get the care they need while you’re away! I am actually a full time college student and am looking to give pet care in between my classes during the week. I would be available on T/Th all day. On M/W/F I am available anytime after 12pm to come care for your pets. I am looking to be doing home visits rather than dog boarding because I am currently living in an apartment and do not have the space needed to provide quality care for your pets. I am willing to do drop in visits and in the past am used to doing that type of care for my clients.
