“Fantastic as always! Laura is absolutely amazing with our cat Axel and she has earned our trust in our home overnight cat sitting for us. She is also a wonderful human overall and pays so much attention to detail when caring for your pets. 10/10 as always. She is transparent, accountable and compassionate.”
“If we could give 6 or more stars we would. Gina is an amazing pet sitter and we'll definitely be using her services again! We were given detailed updates, and a lot of pictures/videos daily. Her love of animals and experience level just shines!”
“Kara came every day at the time that I had planned. She took care of my cats making sure they had food water and clean litter. She even took the time to play with one of them. I got plenty of pictures so I knew how they were doing. I would definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve worked in vet clinics and for the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center, giving me hands-on experience with pet health, behavior, and emergencies. As a former vet assistant, I helped with surgeries, medications, and cared for pets of all ages—including seniors and post-op patients. At poison control, I worked directly with vets and pet owners to assess toxic exposures and guide treatment. Outside of work, I’m a high-energy, animal-loving farm girl with a big heart and a great sense of humor. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of love, playtime, and photo updates while you’re away. I work full-time as a Crop Consultant, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for pets. I treat every animal like my own, with safety, love, and attention to detail always top of mind. Safety and trust come first. I follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved, whether in your home or mine. With my vet clinic and poison control experience, I’m confident handling meds, emergencies and all personalities. You’ll get regular photo updates and peace of mind every step of the way.
About: I've always been the family member my family could call on to take care of their dogs when they were out. I've walked/been walked by an energetic husky, I've looked after a blind/deaf elderly shih tzu, I've spent hours playing with a cuddly golden retriever, and now I want to help take care of your pets. My schedule is fairly free for weekday/weekend care, earlier in the morning would work better for me but if you need me to come over at the evening/night time, I'd be more than happy to do so. My drop-ins involve a quick to-do list to take care of the basics (any food bowl, water, or potty attention), followed by playtime until I can ensure your pet is happy and satisfied. If you'd like me to have some photos of your pet whether I'm doing in home care or taking them for a walk, let me know and if there's an opening, I'll gladly snap a few photos for you on my phone!
About: I have 5 dogs in my household that I have trained and taken care of when my family goes out of town for soccer, I am more than happy to cater to your babies as well! I am currently working part time at a trampoline park, so recently business has been slow. Many people are asking for more hours, but there is so much the business can do. I am no opening my options up to pet sitting, because I love animals and I am glad to see families that love there pets as well! I let dogs/puppies out every 2 hours. My personal dogs eat twice a day, but depending on how the clients feeding schedule I can feed as wanted. Water is always available to them. They will get play time with there potty breaks as well.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life as my family always had a dog. I have helped raise puppies and taken care of all dogs, indoor and outdoor. I have so much fun with dogs and love taking them with me on walks! I currently am a college students who has class during the days, but my classes only take around 3 hours a day. On thursdays, I do have a job I work during the day from 7 am- 3pm. I also do have a part time job that’s schedule changes week to week but currently I’m not working much there! Regardless if you let your dog out in your yard without a leash, I will be requiring a leash (if there are no fences) to keep your dog safe and others around safe. I especially think play time and walking tim are important for animals and their health! I will not be someone who pops in and out super fast and I will build a connection with your pets!

“Christina was an amazing and caring pet sitter. She took great care of my cat while I was away. She went above and beyond what I had originally asked to make sure that my pet was comfortable and well cared for!”
“Morgan did an awesome job with my two pups for the weekend! My dogs had never had a sitter and she was very kind and patient with them while they adjusted to her visits. She truly cared for the well being of my pets and I would recommend her without hesitation!”
About: I have always taken care of my families pets. When I was 5 I rescued a small kitten. It needed a lot of care and attention. I bottle fed her and made sure she got all her medications. When I turned 19 I was able to get my first dog. He is a high energy bundle of fluff and love. He injured his leg. I made sure that he received extra care and attention so that he could get back to chasing off those dangerous squirrels again. 😅. I believe pets are an important part of anyone's family, and I love seeing them happy. I am pretty open as far as my schedule goes. Looking to make this a career. Message me and we can set up a time. I will work with you. I am open for a long term arrangement. I can make sure your pet spends time outside. We will go for a walk. I can make sure they have plenty of food and water, as well as any medication they need. I can also give them a bath if you would like. I want to make sure they have a fulfilling playful experience.
About: I was a trained volunteer dog walker for 3 years while I pursued my undergraduate degree. In graduate school, for 4 years, I was the designated pet sitter for the graduate students, several faculty, and various people in Carbondale, IL. Now, I am the first person my friends, family, and acquaintances call when they need a pet sitter or someone to walk their dogs during the day. I've met many people in Peoria through recommendations to watch their homes and care for their pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, all types of cats with different temperaments and needs, and some experience with rodents as well. I have also made house calls to help bathe dogs, clip their nails (cats too if needed!), brush their teeth, and other grooming needs. I am committed to doing my absolute best to care for your pets in any and all ways needed whether that's a long walk several times each day, a hike, an afternoon cuddle, a dance session in the kitchen, belly rubs, chin scratchies, or just someone to constantly shower your pet with love and joy while you're away doing what you need! I am the owner of Radish Kitchen in Peoria, and my schedule is very flexible. I am able to step away as often as needed throughout the day as long as I have at least 2 days notice on what your pets needs will be. If I am staying the night at a house it is very simple to make my way there after work. If I am leaving in the afternoon or several times throughout the day I can do so. My schedule is flexible and can be as accommodating as needed with enough notice. I have a dog and three cats at my own home. We have a fenced in yard, but I also walk my dog at least 4 times every day. My cats have plenty of places to nap, run, play, and watch birds throughout our home.
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, growing up with dogs, cats, birds, and even lizards. My mom was an animal lover, and I’ve followed in her footsteps. I helped my dad with his three cats that my mom used to care for before she passed, driving an hour every week for grooming and bathing (one of them is a bit oversized!). I’d love to care for your beloved pet. Although I can’t have pets of my own due to my wife’s allergies, this makes pet sitting my dream job! I regularly care for my father’s cat, Jack, traveling over an hour each way, so distance is not an issue for me. I work seasonally for a cemetery in Bloomington which leaves me laid off from December 1st to March 1st each year. So I am highly available in that 3 month span, and then on weekends during the rest of the year. I’m here to support you and your beloved pet. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and the people who care for them. When my wife mentioned pet sitting, I was excited to get involved right away. Dogs seem to love me, and cats generally tolerate me—which I think says a lot about my character! I’m reliable, trustworthy, and available when you need me. I’ve been caring for pets since I was young, helping neighbors with feeding, walking, and cleanup. I promise to provide the care and attention your pet deserves and be a great fit for you both!

She does great with my kitty and hamster Juice too, her enclosure was nice and clean when I came back, so was the kitty’s litter box.”
