Joy was able to watch my dog on short notice. She was great to work with. I like she had a fenced in back yard. Will definitely use her again.

Our yorkie, Tucker, had a wonderful stay with Stacie and her family. I received texts and photos every day to let us know how he was doing. Stacie provided immediate responses to my texts. Tucker got so much special attention. I would recommend Stacie to anyone needing pet care ❤️.

Our pup did great at Mandi’s! I didn’t have to worry at all because she sent pictures of his day and an update of what he did. She was so sweet to send him home with a personalized bandana and a jar of homemade treats! Definitely recommend!

It was so nice to find someone who lives close to us. Tara was so easy to work with. She loved our Ava and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout her stay. She even groomed Ava while she was there which helped us out greatly.

About: Hi, thank you so much for stopping by to read through my profile. I have loved and taken care of friend’s and family’s dogs for years. Big, small, medium, even tempered, wild, mellow- I absolutely love them all. I have a 12 year old lab, who has slowed down a lot. She is my everything. I find something about raising a dog from a young pup to an aging one, so very special and rewarding. If your dog is fast paced or likes to smell every blade of grass, I’m game. Rain, shine, or snow, I’m available. I’d absolutely appreciate it if you gave me the opportunity to spoil your dog, not just walk or watch. I understand these are your babies. My house is set up well with a fenced in back yard and lots of attention and love offered. Let me know what questions or concerns you might have! I work Monday-Friday, I am usually free in the evenings and off on Thursdays typically. I’m free on most holidays(so keep that in mind).** I am free on most weekends. ** My job is flexible, 12 mins away, making it easy to drop by my house throughout the day. My house is open and I have a great fenced in area. Your dog will be spoiled rotten over here. Lots of pets and attention. I also know how important a walk is to a dog, it’s the highlight of their day! We’d make the most of it.

Vivian was amazing with my puppy Rocky! She took care of him like he was her own and kept me updated daily. She has a puppy herself, so she was very prepared and educated on dog watching, the peace of mind was everything to me. Rocky was so sad to leave her and her puppy, we will be using her again when we need a sitter. Thank you Vivian!

About: I have watched dogs of all sizes from about 7 lbs to 120. My best friend has two Great Pyrenees who I watch and play with all the time. I had a Shih Tzu for about 12 years that I was responsible for feeding, walking and taking to the vet to keep vaccinations updated. I also have watched my aunts Yorkie multiple times. Being on summer break gives me lots of time for any responsibilities necessary. I am a teacher on summer break so right now I can give your dog/dogs lots of love and attention. I have plenty of time to go for walks. I have no dogs at this time as I just put my last dog down in September. I have lots of time for walks, love and will be able to feed them whenever needed. My goal is to keep them on their normal routines to ensure they are comfortable.

About: I have had pets in my life for as long as I've been breathing. I learned to take my first steps holding our rat terrier, Missy's, tail. There are no bad breeds. I love all animals, even the ones that don't love me lol. I promise to treat your little friend like they are my child. I also spent the last two years in the pet care industry. Boarding, grooming, training, and daycare. I am trained well enough in grooming to give haircuts if needed, we can discuss pricing 💜 I also have experience with farm animals. Goats, horses, chickens, pigs. I'm comfortable with most pets, so sorry if you have snakes though. I adjust my prices based on your needs so don't be afraid to talk to me about rates! Working part time 8:30-4:30 on weekdays. I do prefer check-in style visits and really looking to groom more, but still available for housesitting when needed. I do offer care in my own home for smaller/medium pets (must get along with cats) and am adept at following whatever instructions I am given. With my work history I am very used to elderly and disabled pets as well. I am more than happy to walk two small-medium dogs at once, but if your dogs are considered large or giant I would ask to walk them separately, for everyone's safety.

About: I will treat your dog like how I treat my goldendoodle Winnie who lives with my parents in Breese, IL. My family’s goldendoodle Louie passed away in November 2023. I will make sure your dog will get the exercise he/she needs on the walks. I am available after 5pm on weekdays for drop ins and dog walks. On the weekends, I am available all day for all services!!! I work from 9am-5pm most days. I have experience taking care of two dogs at the same time. I am very calm, trustworthy, genuine, and easygoing person. You will not have to worry when your dog is in my care. I now offer dog boarding. I have a spacious backyard with a fence. I work full time! I work in the office in Granite City on Friday until 5pm so overnight boarding drop offs will need to be after 5:30pm. I am able to drop in before work and after work. I will able to drop in before your dog’s bedtime! I will make sure that your dog gets the attention he/she deserves while his/her owner is away while doing drop in visits. During drop ins, I will also feed your dog and take your dog outside if requested. I am also good at giving dog baths!
