House Sitting in Hugo

“Milo was so great with our babies! He was really responsive and all of them were so happy when we got home. Our cat had surgery a week ago, and we felt very comfortable leaving him at home under the care of Milo.”

“Amy was awesome with our dogs and cats while we were out of town! She kept us updated and sent photos every day, so I could tell they were being well taken care of. One of my dogs has a lot of medications and is a picky eater, and Amy was so on top of it, which put me at ease knowing he was in good hands. I will definitely book with Amy again!”

“Loved all the pictures! she was so sweet and made sure he had plenty of love and walks🐾 I never worried once about him missing his medicine schedule. She is definitely a go too, and I’m definitely hiring her again 🥰”

About: I’ve never lived without an animal in my life I know the basics and more. I would give your pet so much care and love! I’m going to Eastern Illinois University for biological sciences with a pre-vet pathway. I hope to one day be a veterinarian, but I know wherever I go there I will be working with animals! I’m very passionate about what I do, I take pride in my work. I work at an assisted living as a resident aid, I work 3-11 sunday, monday, wednesday. I also am a full time student at EIU but I will always work your pet into my schedule and give them the care and love they deserve! We can always work out what days i’m free I can always stop by if I can’t stay longer! I would make sure the house stays clean and would take care of the pets and that’s all. If asked to sweep or water plants I would also do that!

“Jenna is a wonderful resource to have to watch our anxious pup. She's knowledgeable, communicative, and reliable - everything we could ask for!”

“Veronica will our go-to pup sitter for as along as she is available. She is dependable, and most importantly the pups love her! She made leaving for a weeks vacation so much easier for us. She sent pictures! She was very easy to get ahold of, and responded very quickly! I highly recommended Veronica.”

“Jennifer was absolutely fantastic! She took amazing care of my two dogs and my cat, Josie — who is usually wary of new people but warmed up to her immediately. Throughout my time away, she kept me updated with photos and videos, and even let me know about their eating habits, bathroom habits, and overall happiness. It was clear she genuinely cared for them, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. I would absolutely book with Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet and house sitter.”

About: I have plenty of experience with both dogs and cats. I have been working in a dog/cat boarding and daycare facility for a little over a year now. At work, we are responsible for providing individual care for each animal staying with us; we are in charge of providing them with playtime, feeding them, giving meds, and more. Personally, I have had two cats going on about 15 years now, and I have had two dogs (a lab mix and a pit mix) for about five years. I also have the experience of being a dog walker volunteer at a humane society! Right now, I am on summer break and home from school, and I am currently only working a part-time job. On days I do work at my part-time job, I’m usually working from 8-230pm 3-4 days a week, so I will usually be available outside of that time period on my working days. On non-working days, I typically have open availability. Since I am around animals pretty much 24/7, caring for them is part of my usual routine, making me very passionate and comfortable around animals. Unfortunately, one of my dogs is reactive and doesn't take well to new doggy friends, so care at my house would not be possible. However, in terms of staying in the owner's home, I would bring over some toys and other things dogs love, like treats, and I could even bring a splash pad for those who like water! I would make sure the dog is my number one priority and be on top of what their daily needs are. For cats, plenty of catnip and fun will be involved!

“Megan was wonderful with our two dogs and we would definitely use her services again! She sent pictures throughout her stay and kept us updated. We are confident that our dogs were much more comfortable and less anxious staying at home with Megan, than being boarded.”

Angie J.

“Kate did a great job taking care of my girls while we went on a weekend trip. I tend to worry when I leave my animals but the entire weekend I felt like they were in good hands. She gave me thorough updates and even checked to make sure we got home alright.”

Jenny P.

“Communication lines were open, many pictures were sent, and I cannot thank her enough for her flexibility when our flight plans got thrown for a little loop!! Would 100% book again!”

Jaime Y.

“Christine did a wonderful job house sitting with our Poodles & Yorkies - & horses!!! She sent frequent pictures of everyone lounging on her lap or playing around the house! This was a last minute booking as our trip plans were suddenly changed & we were going out of the country! It was reassuring to have an experience, mature person caring for our special “kids”! Thank you, Christine!”

Linda R.

“Ayda did a great job of keeping me informed of how my pups were doing and sending pictures of them daily while I was out of town.”

About: Ive been around dogs a lot. I have 3 of my own. One named Hope. She’s more active, and needs alot of playtime. So I’m definitely good at managing that. One name is Oakley, he likes to be babied and cuddled. Ones name is Hank, and he is just the chillest dog haha. I already have dogs so I work 24/7 with my own. I have a lot of time on my hands so I’m free whenever. Anytime you just need a break I can come help, when you’re gone. I’ll do it. I give baths, I walk them, I play ball/fetch with them. I take them potty, feed them, give them treats. I do all the things it takes to take care of a dog, the same way you would treat a baby.

About: I am a proud mother of a 4yr old son and an 10 yr old daughter.. My daughter is usually at school for most of the day. However, caring for both full time I have come to notice animals stimulate both kids and teach them respect, responsibility and routine. We are excited to em"bark" on this new chapter in life and cant wait to start. Together, I believe all 3 of my family unit would not only love, but sincerely enjoy even the smallest and largest pets while their 'parents' are away or just need some attention. With summer upon us - my schedule (and helping hands) have become more flexible. Currently, I am available every day from 6am to 7pm. Holidays, weekends, and every day that ends in "Y"! With respect to the pet , clients home, and specific care needs, I try to always keep an open mind and heart but keeping respect in the foreground.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including walking, feeding, and giving plenty of attention and love. I’ve also helped neighbors by dog-sitting and walking their pups when needed. I’m patient, reliable, and excited to care for your furry family member! I trained my dog Beau from puppyhood, so I’m familiar with basic commands, house training, and patience needed for young dogs. I’m also comfortable providing gentle care for senior dogs, including help with medication and slower-paced walks. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. On weekdays, I’m available early mornings (5:00–6:30 a.m.) and evenings after 4:30 p.m. I have mostly open availability on weekends and can provide flexible care then. I live in an apartment, so dogs in my care get regular walks and lots of attention. I walk my own dog, Beau, daily and often take him to the dog park for exercise and enrichment. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to help pets feel safe and secure. I respect their space, follow all instructions, and make sure pets are comfortable and cared for. I’m always mindful of leash safety, locked doors, and keeping a calm, pet-friendly environment. Owners can trust that I’ll treat their pets and homes with the same care I give my own.

About: I’ve always had an extremely overbearing love for dogs 😍 I’ve been a dog mom for 6 years and would love to be a help ! I’m usually available on Thursdays and Fridays but if you ask for another availability any other day after 4:30 we could work that out as well! As a dog lover I’d take care of your babies just as much as I take care of mine ❤️ heavy on the love and affection for the fur babes!

I have experience in cleaning up after them, walks, feedings, administering medications, and simple check ins! I am happy to also love on them and make sure they are happy and healthy! I work part time at Sarah Bush Hospital and am a Senior at EIU! Pet walking/sitting interests me because I want to grow connections down here, and make some extra cash on the side ! I plan to fill my off days with loving on your fur babies! I mainly plan to walk dogs and come to your home! I will clean up after your pup/kitty and house sit any other needs you may have! I also love walking and can handle any size dog (I may be tiny but I’m very mighty! I grew up with walking 3 of my neighbors Huskies!) I am here to try to tend to your needs the best I can!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for five years! This includes family members, neighbours, and my own. I’m here to lift some weight off your shoulders if your going on vacation, or you just need your dog walked and checked in on while your at work! I’m currently a student online so, I’m available 7 days a week to take care of your pup/pups! At your needs only! From playing, to walking, to feeding!

About: I love animals of all kinds. I have had cats and dogs my whole life as well as help watch my neighbors pets while they are gone. Let me take great care of your pet while you're away! My schedule varies, sometimes I travel for work but when I am home I work from home so pet sitting is very flexible and easy for me. I can accomodate last minute bookings also. I have a large yard for pets to get excersice and I live in the country. My son is 12, very responsible and love pets, he is my little helper and would not only help take care of your baby but give them extra love!
