House Sitting in Hamel

“Kelly was very easy to work with and we trusted her to stay at our house for over a week to take care of our two dogs. She followed the instructions we provided and took especially good care of our 25 year old dog who is on seizure medication. We will definitely use her services again the next time we have the need for a dog sitter. Thank you Kelly!”

“Riley was a blessing to our house. Theo and Daisy love her. It was wonderful to see my fur babies go to her and be so relaxed. Taking such good care of them, while staying in their environment to help them feel more at ease. They had just gone through a move and being home was important to their wellbeing. Thank you so much for alleviating so much stress from me plate. We look forward to our next vacation, knowing you are their special person.”

“Caeden took excellent care of our dog and house while we were away. Communication and response time was all good and we were comfortable having him in our home. This was our first time using Caeden but we will definitely be booking him again.”

“Jaelyn was terrific with my fur-babies. They all loved her so much! I would get home and Molly would be asleep in her lap, Charlie squished up between her and a blanket and Peanut within easy reach for a scritch here and there! Even Lucy, my miss independent would cuddle with Jaelyn! She would definitely be welcomed back to care for my littles.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have a passion for taking care of them. I have an older dog and a cat at home, so I’m used to giving pets lots of love, attention, and the extra care seniors need. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I am currently a full time student at Lewis and Clark Community College so I have plenty of time to care for animals on the side! When I’m caring for pets on walks or in your home, I always make sure they feel comfortable and safe. On walks, I’ll go at their pace, make sure they stay hydrated, and give them plenty of time to sniff and explore. In your home, I’ll stick to their normal routine, give them lots of love and attention, and keep things clean and calm so they feel right at home even while you’re away.

About: Hi, thank you so much for stopping by to read through my profile. I’m stoked to start this journey. I have loved and taken care of friend’s and family’s dogs for years. Big, small, medium, even tempered, wild, mellow, I absolutely love them all. I have a 11 year old black lab, who’s slowed down a lot. She is my everything. She just can’t move like she used to and I find something about raising a dog from a young pup to an aging one, so very special and rewarding. If your dog is fast paced or likes to smell every blade of grass, I’m game. Rain, shine, or snow, I’m available. I’d absolutely appreciate it if you gave me the opportunity to spoil your dog, not just walk. I understand these are your babies. My house is also open with a fenced in back yard and lots of attention and love offered. Let me know what questions or concerns you might have! I work Monday-Friday, I am free in the evenings and off on Thursdays typically. I’m free on most holidays like Thanksgiving(so keep that in mind).** I am free on most weekends. ** Also please note, I’m willing to travel to MO from IL side. My house is open and I have a great fenced in area. Your dog will be spoiled rotten over here. Lots of pets and attention. I also know how important a walk is to a dog, it’s the highlight of their day! We’d make the most of it.

“We couldn't be happier with Brogan! We were away for a long weekend and she looked after our dog, Darla. Brogan sent us lots of pictures, texts, and info on how they were all getting along. It definitely made me feel little to no concern about how things were going back home and I was able to enjoy my trip. Darla is a reactive dog and strong as well. Brogan worked so well with her on the leash and wasn't at all uncomfortable. Lots of communication before we left as well and totally responsible with the house. We're already hoping to book her again! 15 stars!! ☺️”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. I have predominantly had dogs and cats. I treat all animals with the utmost love and care. I have had pets through full life cycle so I understand the varying needs based on age. I currently work full time but am off Friday through Sunday so looking for people that need weekend help. I would also be a le to do some evenings during the week. I have a fenced yard and work from home so my dogs are well taken care of. I have the ability to watch, play with, walk and feed animals in your home. I would gladly follow any routine and instructions you have.

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.

About: I am currently obtaining my masters degree in counseling from McKendree University with hopes to be a play therapist. I am also a collegiate cheerleader at the school. I have been working at Highland Primary for 3 years, as well as teaching private swim lessons for around 10 years now. I have had my own beagle named Bella for 10 years! I am very flexible with scheduling which gives me a lot of time to be able to come play with your dogs. I have volunteered at the local animal shelter in my hometown and have had lots of experience pet sitting. I’ve had dogs around my whole life and I would love to be able to play with yours!! Between the craziness, I do have flexibility during the week! Most evenings, weekends, and some mornings I am looking to care for your pet! I would love to help you out! I have a big yard that may have to be shared with my friendly beagle! I would love to be able to take your dog to the park, and if they are willing have a play date with Miss Bella! I would prefer to visit in your home for the comfort of the dog, but my door will be open if needed.

About: Hi there! Thanks for reading my page. I've cared for dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, bunnies, chinchillas, hamsters, rats, snakes, and even horses! I have several years of experience with pet walking, quick visits and house-sitting for clients, coworkers, family and friends. Maximum time I've lived-in was 2 weeks, and most animals cared for at once was 7! (2 birds, 2 dogs and 3 cats.) I will pet-sit any age, any size, any breed. If you need your pet taken to the vet, groomer, or a friend, I have reliable transportation to do so. I'll even pick up supplies and food if you provide the payment for it, and if requested, I can sweep, dust, vaccum, and overall tidy up! I'd prefer working in a cleaner home, though this is not required. Happy pet, happy vet, right? :) (Note: I used to go by Cat, which is what people called me in the reviews, but I've changed it to Oliver!) I can't host any pets, but I love to visit your fur babies! Any needs they have, I'm happy to provide. I'm definitely a tidy person, and guarantee to leave your house as neat as possible. :) I’m a self-employed artist, and I work from home, so my schedule is fairly flexible. If you need me on short-notice, feel free to ask! I can usually make things work. As someone that tries to be as organized and as safe as possible, I can confidently say that I’ll leave your house just as tidy as it was when I arrived.

“Lette did an amazing job with house sitting and watching our Emma girl. During her stay she kept us updated and even sent some precious pictures of our Emma. She was in constant communication with us. We highly recommend and will definitely book her again in the future!”

About: I’ve always grown up around dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and etc. A dog is more than just an animal, they are a part of the family. Im a dental assistant and love helping people achieve the confidence to smile again. Im 22 years old and still live with my parents so this is a great side hustle to save money to move out eventually. At home we have a basset hound named Maggie that’s three years old, an Australian Shepard named Ranger that is also three years old, a Yorkie Shih Tzu named Trixie that is about 15 years old (yeah I know she’s basically deaf and blind but old girl is still kicking it), and then two cats that we rescued on the side of the road named Stormi & Klondike! I also have chickens & ducks! Let me dogsit your fur baby 🥰 I’m currently working at a private dental office located in Staunton, IL Monday-Thursday. Usually when I dog sit for a family friend or just anyone in general I stay at their house with the dog(s) so they feel comfortable in their own environment. My work hours are as followed; Monday & Thursday: 7-4pm (lunch 12-1pm) Tuesday 8-6pm (lunch 1-2 or 2-3pm) and Wednesday 7-1pm. I am a reliable and a caring person to watch your fur babies! I usually stay at the clients house so the pet is in a familiar environment and won’t get over stimulated. Every dog is different and so I usually meet the clients and/or the dog(s) so they are somewhat familiar with me and aren’t frightened by a stranger while their loved ones are away.

About: I have worked with animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm with cows, chickens, pigs, cats and dogs. It comes naturally to me. I work in the early morning so I am done with that job by early afternoon. I have flexibility and will let you know if there is any available time. I have a kind and gentle daughter who loves all animals, a sweet corgi and 2 lovely adopted cats. In my home. I have an indoor fence and kennel and 2 separate cat only(no dog allowed) rooms

About: I have grown up taking care of dogs and cats my whole life! As long as I can remember I’ve walked fed and took care of different pets. Dedicated Teacher & Loving Pet Sitter!” I’m a teacher in East Alton with a flexible schedule, happy to stop by before or after school, in the evenings, or even stay overnight to give your pets the care (and snuggles!) they deserve. Walks, Playtime & Snuggles—Let’s Go!” Whether it’s running around a fenced yard, going for a nice walk, or playing indoors, I’m all about keeping tails wagging and kitties purring! Need crating? No problem—I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy.

About: Hi my name is Amanda!:) I currently work as the main shelter attendant in the cat room at a local animal shelter and petsit on the side! My work schedule is pretty open/flexible and I’m always able to work around it and fit stuff into my schedule, which makes for plenty of time to help take care of your pets!:) In high school, I was President of a Animal Rescue Club for two years where we did tons of volunteer work for animal shelters and put together fundraisers to help with local shelters. Between working at a shelter now, I also used to work at a pet kennel resort which gave me tons of experience in the animal care field. I have been petsitting on the side for about 9 years now, ever since I was a freshman in high school, starting off with just family and friends until word got around and some people I knew from volunteering at local shelters started telling clients and from there my little “business” skyrocketed! I am experienced with all kinds of animals (dogs, cats, hamsters, guniea pigs, birds, bunnies, reptiles, horses, etc…you name it!) I’m also experienced in administering medicine (even to hamsters lol!) At home, I currently have 3 cats (two with disabilities) as well as foster kitties so I always have animals coming in and out of my house! My schedule is very open/flexible and I’m able to work around my work schedule well so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets!:) You can completely trust that your pet(s) will be safe in my care! Whatever the owner/pet needs I will do! Feed, water, play, walk, etc… I am even experienced in administrating medication if needed! My schedule is pretty open and flexible. And if you knew me on a personal level you would know I’m always able to work around even the busiest schedule if needed! I’m always able to fit in the perfect amount of time to care for your pets and will make sure they are happy and their needs are fulfilled but they are also ready for a nap when I leave ;) I have experience with all animals and dogs of all breeds and sizes! So you can trust that I am a good fit and am able to handle your pet(s) no matter what size or breed they are!
