“Rick is absolutely the BEST! Our fur baby means everything to us and Rick takes as good of care of him as we do. Can’t imagine what we’d do if Rick wasn’t listed on this site..”
“Very good caretaker of your pet; and is highly negotiable as he is very understanding of your sincere needs. Dog was very clean and smelling good when I picked him up. Thank You Dyshyn, and I look forward to working with you again.”
“I highly recommend Stephen. This was our first time using Rover & it was a great experience. He sent photos & video of our dog during her stay. We will definitely use him again.”
“We absolutely loved having our pugs stay with Ashley! Our dogs got to spend time with other pups and even do some art projects! 🥰🥰 She was great about updates and accommodations even if our travel plans changed. We highly recommend and will be using her again!”
“The best sitter you could ask for. Amazing communication and great to work with. Was able to work with my flight delay back home. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Ashlyn was a great choice for our Sassy to stay with. We were camping in Southern Illinois but mostly hanging with family at a cabin where pets weren’t allowed. It was very hot outside and Sassy is an old girl that doesn’t do well in the heat so we decided to board her for a couple of days. Ashlyn took excellent care of her and made sure she was comfortable and cool. It was great knowing she was close by, cared for and we didn’t have to worry.”
About: I'm masters student in biology with professional pet care experience from working as an Animal Care Technician/Kennel Assistant at Franklin County Animal Hospital. Here, I primarily cared for boarded cats and dogs by giving medication by injection, orally, and other routes. Additionally, I fed animals as directed to ensured they actually ate, cleaned kennel spaces, and had playtime with dogs after their walks. I grown up with cats and have had dogs in my family for all of my life! In regards to dogs, I've raised 5 huskies from birth all the way up to adulthood. Currently, I have 2 well-trained dogs that LOVE to meet new people and pets: Nirvana, a mini Texas Heeler and Remi, a husky mix. If we're not at home, we're probably off on a walk, hiking, swimming, or doing a photoshoot somewhere in the Shawnee Forest. I love to meet people's pets! Whether your pet stays at my pet-friendly apartment with a large front yard, I'm at your place overnight, or I'm simply dropping in/taking your pet on a walk I can promise professionalism and that you're pet will have a great time! Currently, I can be available most days before 9:30 am and every day after 7 pm. Of course, this schedule can change depending on the dates/times I'm needed! At my home, I can ensure pets are in a safe environment by walking them in my large front and side yard of my apartment complex and/or in a safe area of town near Trinity Christian School. Additionally, I can ensure your pets safety by only allowing interactions with my pets while supervised and can provide a kennel space if one is not provided. At your home, I can follow specific directions on where dogs like to go, how animals prefer to be interacted with, and discuss the preferred length of time you'd prefer me to be in your home. Really, this portion is all up to you! I value mutual respect above all else and while I will conduct myself as such regardless, your preferences are really all that matters!

About: I am a pet lover of my Bichon Frise companions for 30 years now. My original beloved "Buster" was a special needs dog with constant care due to his epileptic seizures. With this past experience, and senior care to the end of his 16 year life, I am more aware of a pets needs than most caregivers. I have also had pets such as cats, birds, and my current lionhead bunny; Cadbury. I am flexible with your pets daily routine requests. I can accommodate morning and evening walks and will be available throughout the day as needed. I have a large yard for their bathroom breaks and my dog Gracie can accompany. There are also several dogs in the neighborhood to socialize with during their walks.
“Makenzie was a great dog sitter. She sent us pictures of our little girl and always responded to our emails. Thank you Makenzie. I'm sure we will see you again.”
“Erin was great! She kept updating us everyday about the pets and sent us plenty of pictures. We felt very comfortable with her and would use her services again .”
About: I understand how much dogs miss their owners when they aren't around. I would love to help take care of yours, like its my own if you can't be there. I have had a dog(s) my entire life. I treat them like humans as much as possible. I will follow directions for walks, medications, or any special needs that your dog may have. We currently have 2 dogs, one is high energy and one is very low key. Sometimes they have different needs, I understand that all dogs are different and will provide the best care I can. I will be available by phone so that you can call and check on your pet at any time. If an emergency arises I will definitely let you know and take them to the vet of your choice. I am available evenings and weekends to help care for your animals. I'm happy to stop in to feed them, take them on a walk and give them any meds necessary. It usually requires a three day notice. I do realize that things happen so text or call me if an emergency arises and I will see what I can do. It won't let you book within be the three day notice so if this happens please text me and I will update my settings so you can book it. I typically walk my dog twice daily and let them out as needed. We do use a crate for training and to keep contained when we are away if needed. We have trained both of our dogs to let us know when they need to go out, so we no longer use the crate.
About: My grandma used to foster animals and Id help her with that along with caring for my personal pets. I have experience with cats and dogs. Currently working part time so I will be working around that schedule. I am also currently in school at SIUE working on my pre-law degree. I will ensure that your pet is safe and well cared for the entire time I am there. As of right now I will not be caring for pets in my own home, but more than willing to come to yours!
