Quenna is a very responsible pet sitter! She showed up early and was always fast to respond my texts. She was the first person I used on this app after a few people agreed and then cancelled on me. But Quenna didn't disappoint. Plus her main job is at the animal shelter. So she is the best care taker! I highly recommend Quenna as your pet sitter!

About: I've had my own cats for almost 6 years, I've volunteered at the Belleville Area Humane Society for around 4 months, and I do occasional dogsitting and housesitting for family friends when needed. I have a summer job that starts on May 26th, and I have training from 9-4 on May 17th and 23rd. I'm unsure of which days I'll be working yet, so I will let you know when I can what my schedule will be. I will be completely free on weekends aside from outside events. I appreciate detailed instructions on any specifics needed when caring for your pets, such as medications, feeding times, bathroom breaks, regular walks, or any other schedule they need.

We went on a long vacation in Europe and we just needed someone to spend time with our 2 pit bulls for a little bit that way our roommate wasn’t to overwhelmed with watching them and Lauren was so awesome. She had great communication and we always looked forward to their report cards everyday so we didn’t miss them too much. Most importantly though she gave us peace of mind and the ability to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our dogs.

Kelly is the absolute best! We’ve used her multiple times for both drop in visits and house sitting. She has always taken great care of all our animals and able to give meds no problems. She has gone above & beyond and we will absolutely use Kelly again-highly recommend!

About: I have been a dog mommy for over 25 years, and have taken care of the pets of friends and family forever. I’m especially partial to dogs, but cats are great too…once they deign to allow me to enter their kingdom 😁. I recently had to say goodbye to me soul mate dog, so I have a lot of love to give your fur babies. Can’t wait to meet them! I’m worked from home for 6 years, and I’m currently between roles. I have nothing but time to dedicate to loving on your darling pets. I am active for those who like to walk, and I enjoy my down time cuddles up on the couch with a book and a sweet sleepy dog or cat. Let’s keep your babies at home where they are comfortable! I can come to your home and feed, walk, and give them outside time. Or, if you prefer, I can stay at your home with them while you’re gone. I’m a rule follower, so your house rules will be strictly adhered to, no question! If your pup is high energy and needs lots of walks, let’s go - I’m on a fitness journey myself! If they are in charge and have a designated spot on the couch, I’ll cozy up wherever they “tell” me I can. I just miss my doggo, and I think this is the best way for me to start to heal from that loss. Let me lavish love on yours!

Kyani was absolutely amazing with my dogs (Laila & Bowe) She was attentive, she took tons of videos and pictures which kept me connected to my fur babies. She gave them plenty of play time and I can tell by the pictures my fur babies loved hanging out with Kyani. If I ever need a dog sitter I'll be contacting Kyani.

Staci was wonderful! We have one dog that is scared of his own shadow and thinks strangers are very scary. I didn’t think there’d be anyway he’d go outside. She must be the dog whisperer because the very first day she not only got him outside but he was coming up to her to be petted. She sent the pictures and video to prove it! I can’t thank her enough for taking the time to warm up and understand him. She was also very flexible when plans changed through out the week. Will definitely be using her in the future!

Melanie did a great job taking care of my kitty when I was away. My kitty had some vomiting issues before my trip and I had to change the frequency of visit last minute. She was able to accommodate the request no issues. She also made sure to let me know my kitty didn’t vomit in every visit summary. She did everything as I requested.

About: I grew up with at least 4 dogs in the house always. I worked for a dog boarding/daycare/groomer for about 2 years. Family has had me take care of their dogs when they’ve been on vacation I work part time so I would have no problem going over to visit your baby 2-3 times a day. I cannot stay overnight or board at my place because of my own animals, but I will go over every morning, evening, and night to feed, medicate, and play with them. Whether they are normally crated or loose, I will follow that when I’m not there. They will be fed, walked, and played with as much as they need. My animals do not like new animals so I cannot board. I also can’t stay overnight with your dog(s).

About: I've taken care of senior dogs and up to 4 dogs at a time. I am available to stay overnight if needed and don't have a preference for any breed of pets. I'm currently enrolled at McKendree University and am able to watch pets throughout the afternoon, evenings, and nights! I am pretty available throughout the week and through the weekend! I have a fenced in yard and love to take pets on walks throughout town and playing with the pets as well to keep them company.

About: I attended veterinary schooling in the last. I didn't finish however because I found my love for dog grooming. I own my own dog grooming business and I have been grooming for 10 years now. I also watch some clients dogs in my home on the side. I have owned dogs my whole life and they are a passion of mine. I am able to groom your pet while taking care of them so it's one less thing you have to do! I can administer medications as well. I used to work at PetSmart in the past in the pet care department so I am familiar with caring for other animals such as fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, and some exotics. Please let me know if you have any additional questions! I currently stay home with my kids so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals! I am typically available all the time unless we have a vacation scheduled. I try to update my calendar on here as much as possible! I have 3 dogs of my own to keep your pups company and entertained! I am available for walks, drop in visits, and feedings. One of my dogs is a runner so I'm very familiar with being cautious with dogs who are curious and like to let their nose get the best of them!
