Mallory was amazing with my dog and two cats! We were gone for 9 days and my animals loved her. She was friendly and organized. She communicated throughout our vacation and even sent pictures daily! Will definitely rebook with her.

About: I’ve had dogs as pets for my whole life, and have been a go-to sitter for my family and friends for the last five years. I love spending time with animals! I’m currently working full time, but I’m available before work, in the afternoons, and in the evenings to walk dogs and stop in to feed and spend time with them! While I don’t have the space to board pets, I am dedicated to making sure your space remains a clean, safe environment for your pets

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was around 12 or 13 years old. I would take care of neighbor's, and family member's animals. Such as walking them, feeding them, giving them the love and care that they receive everyday from their owners. I am in college so my schedule is very consistent! Two days out of the week I have 8:30am classes and then the other 3 days my classes start at noon. I am very flexible however, all of my classes end at or before 5pm. So I am available early morning, late morning, afternoon evening, depending on the day! Just reach out and I’m sure we can make it work!! I will respect your home, and follow said rules in your home to be able to give your animal the best care it deserves. ♡

Moriah was amazing! Responded immediately to a last minute (2-day) notice to house sit for an entire week! Moriah gave us updates and photos everyday of the dogs, who seemed to be having a great time. Our back house doesn't even look like someone was here. 100 percent would recommend and will use Moriah again for future needs!

About: Hey, there! My name is Elena:) Originally, I’m from a small town in Missouri. I’m currently staying in Carbondale, IL to continue my education. I have worked in the animal field for over 3 years now. I knew from very early on in my childhood that I wanted to help people. Helping is my passion. And by caring for these furry critters-even the ones without fur-I can also help you guys! Working as a veterinary technician and dog trainer has taught me how to care for breeds of all different sizes, ages and temperaments. To me, taking care of animals is a privilege and a joy. So, if you ever need someone to care and love your pet while you’re away, I’m your girl!:) I work a full time job from Mondays to Fridays. So, I’m available anytime after 5:00pm during the week and available all day on the weekends. I treat any pet under my care as one of my own. Your pet’s health and safety is my top priority. Regardless of how long their list of needs may be —wether the list touches the floor or only consists of three bullet points— their needs will be met from a place of warmth, kindness and patience. Animal care is my passion, and I will forever be happy take care of any pet, including yours. 🐾❤️

About: I've taken care of many pets over the years and I'm an animal lover in general. I have a Great Dane, bunny, turtle, and some fish currently. I have owned cats in the past though just not currently. I can handle big and little dogs even if they aren't the best trained then I'm the person for you. I have a lot of patience with animals. I can handle cats too I get they can have a variety of personalities. Whether they're friendly or not I'll care for them as you need. I will also take care of any other pet in your household if you need I'm not afraid of any animals. Due to college I'm not available during certain times Monday through Thursday but other than that I have a pretty flexible schedule. I don't have any kind of full time or part time job but I am looking currently. I just do dog walking/sitting right now. As of 01/10/2026, I have no current clients anymore since I just moved an hour from where I used to live. I can only dogsit in your home, I live in an apartment. At your home I'll be here the entire time I won't leave the house if you're pet is with me. I'll play with your cat or dog and give them the attention they need. I'll feed and water them at your scheduled times needed. I'll walk them and take them out when needed. Whatever the pet needs I'm here for.
