“Barbora was perfect! She is very sweet and attentive to my 17 year old ckd kitty(Bippy). I was so nervous to leave Bippy but she was in great hands. Barbora made sure her water was clean and full. Followed my cat's peticular feeding instruction. My kitty cat can kind of be a diva if she isn't fed in separate bowls. Barbora understood and fed her accordingly. She kept her litter box clean and replenished with fresh litter. She was patient and kind to my scaredy cat. Through the whole experience I was put at ease that Bippy was well taken care of and I would not hesitate to do this all again. Thank you Barbora for all your help! It is very much appreciated!! You are amazing!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, and also to add a little more I can also take take of horses along with many other animals!!! I currently work part time and attend online college, so as I do my online classes the dogs and I can relax and spend some time together. The animals always come first, if I think they need something such as a new toy they will get it. I love animals more than anything else.
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.
“Love having Kyleen visit, Bob. When I'm out of town I can focus on the reason I'm out of town instead of being I'm not worried about my cat. Her communication with me is the best and I can tell she truly cares about my kitties.”
About: Hi! My name is Meghan. I have 6 years of experience in caring for over sixteen animals at one time, including cats, dogs, and larger four-legged animals. Care included administering medication, feeding, monitoring the health of all animals, ensuring all animals received adequate daily exercise, and overnight house sitting. I also have experience in caring for dogs and cats of family and friends. I'm currently working part-time so my schedule is fairly flexible. On the days that I work, I am available after either 11:45 or 3:05, depending on whether I work a half day or a full day. My weekend availability will vary depending on my schedule. Prior to providing care for your pet, I feel it is important to meet with you to understand your pet's behavior, needs, and any specific concerns you may have. I will make sure your pet receives plenty of love and affection, play time, and rest time.
About: I have had dogs since I was a kid. I have trained dogs for general obedience, advanced obedience, trick training, and hunting. I also have a bachelors degree in Animal Science. My late personal dog was usually the star of the show anywhere we went because of all of his tricks and obedience. I currently have my own young dog I am training as well as two adult dogs. I love dogs, but I can’t take them ALL home according to my husband...so this is a chance for me to be around and work with many different dogs! Not only would your pet be getting the care and attention they need, but I can also train them while they are in my care. I am okay with getting to know and walking any dog, including reactive and hard to work with dogs. All dogs can be good dogs! I currently work full time in construction, but I am attempting to be able to work with animals full time instead. As of right now I am available most evenings and weekends. I have a large fenced yard. The fence is a 5 rail wood fence that has 6” gaps between boards. However, I always keep a close eye on the animals and do not leave them unsupervised. I have kennels with indoor and outdoor areas. I also have room inside my home for crates. When I am home the dogs would be in the house or in the yard with me as I do farm chores.
About: I’ve had pets since I was born. I take care of several of my friends, neighbors, ext. I walk, let out, and play with pets. I have experience with puppies, kittens, small and large dogs. I would be able to do whatever you need given an early notice. I could make time for your pets, they are my priority during this time. I have a fenced in yard, have plenty of area for them to play. I give them enough food and keep watering them whenever they run out during the hot times.
About: Im 18 years old and from the the Edwardsville area. I have been caring for animals since i was about 4 years old. I am very experienced in animals ranging from dogs and cats to horses and pigs. My grandpa is a retired veterinarian so through the years, he has helped me to learn about animals needs. My availability is very flexible throughout the days and weeks. I am also open to just about any type of animal. I love to stay moving so If walking your pet is needed, I would love to do so. I own a car, that way i can provide reliable transportation as well. Thank you for considering me in your hiring process! If you choose to pick me as a care taker for your pet, you will not regret it!

About: I will do everything to make sure your furry friend is not stressed and loving life while you are gone as well. I have always been a big animal lover.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a teenager, and I have cared for every complication under the sun; from dogs with diabetes, to bacterial infections requiring special diets. Now that I run a small farm I have seen even more. I am no stranger to animals requiring special care and attention, or cleaning up unsavory messes. I hope to bring the compassion and care that I provide to my farm animals and my two Great Pyrenees to your animals as well. I currently make my own schedule, except for attending the farmer's market on Saturdays, at which point I am free after 12:30pm. If you have a time, I can likely work with it. I can meet your requirements without issue or modification. I understand the importance of sticking to an animal's routine, and giving them plenty of opportunity to stay hydrated and fed.
