“Xiana took SUCH good care of our 3 kitties, she paid close attention to all of the details I told her about how to care for them, communicated amazingly with me the whole time, and provided so many cute pictures of our babies so that we could see how they were doing!! She is such a sweet, caring, and attentive person. :)”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 13. I’ve always had a cat growing up and when I was old enough to get my own pet I had a dog. I work part time at a dog boarding facility and when I’m not there I’m home. So I have plenty of free time to do walks, dog parks, naps on the couch, play time, and anything else needed for your fur baby. I care for pets like they are my own with unlimited pets & love. I also treat other homes like it’s my own clean, tighty, and in place.
About: I am a very patient caregiver. I’m willing to work with any and all needs of the pets AND owners. I have cats at home, but they are friendly. If your pet isn’t a big fan of other animals, I have enough bedrooms to separate the them I’m currently available Monday through Friday, full time. I have lots of time to give walks, baths, play time, and whatever else that is needed. I have a clean unfenced yard with room roam, and I have a decent sized house with multiple rooms that can be used to accommodate animals over night.
About: Hello! My name is Ella! I am a student at EIU and a PCT and SBL ! I have worked as a dog sitter/walker for friends and family and even strangers that have heard through the grapevine! Now that I live here I’m just looking for some more connections and fur babies down here! I cannot wait to help you and your fur ball out! 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!

“Aubrey was amazing! We were nervous about leaving our cat Tasha, but Aubrey made the entire process wonderful. She was always great with communication and kept us informed how things were going (thanks for the pictures!). We will definitely be looking for Aubrey again in the future.”
“Brianna is seriously amazing! She has gone above and beyond to make sure our pet has loved, played with, and cared for! You can’t find a better person to work with or trust with your furry babes! :)”
About: I love dogs. Big or small they are smart, intuitive, loyal and good judges of character. We will do different activities depending on your dog's personality, temperament, and age. Wether we go for a walk or play your loved one will get that one-on-one attention they so desperately need. If you need someone to wear out that puppy and make sure they get that good exercise, I'm your girl. If your dog is older and just needs a good pampering, I got you. I am available early mornings 7 days a week. My availability short notice will vary based on how close the pick up and drop off are. I know lots of parks and good neighborhoods with nice shady sidewalks for your dog and I to explore. I am willing to share GPS location so you always know where your pet might be while with me.
“Jennifer was so amazing to my Bella, I never worried a single second I was gone! She is not only so sweet, but genuinely cares for and loves animals. I will 100% be asking her to watch my pup again! Thank you Jennifer❤️”
“My cat Fig loved her time with Anj, and I loved knowing she was getting lots of playtime, pets, and her food and water taken care of. Anj sent pictures each time she visited Fig which gave me peace of mind seeing how happy she was, even while I was away for a week.”
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 am a reptile keeper of 20 years with tons of experience with dogs and cats as well. We have had dogs and cats in our house my whole life.

I can take care of your leopard gecko or I can take care of your pup! I have a Mali Uromastyx that I got as a 9 year old and she is doing great 20 years later. I have also cared for a Fire Skink as well as a rescue Leopard Gecko for years. I’m currently unemployed with a flexible schedule. I can be there for a walk, a game of fetch, a meal, or a snuggle if needed. I can even check on your exotic reptile for you if that’s your thing! I will care for your pets as you care for them. I’m comfortable feeding, giving treats, medicine if needed, crating dogs, feeding reptiles, cleaning litter.

About: My family has always had some kind of pet. Especially a dog. Since I was little I was taking care of cats and dogs. As a teen I took care of guinea pigs and hamsters. Now I have my own pets, 2 dogs and 3 cats. I also help friends and family with theirs such as bathing, feeding, walking, etc. I am currently in school for dog training, my classes are Monday and Tuesday 5pm-8pm. I work part time plus two nanny gigs. But with that, I have time to walk, let out, feed, water, and check on your pet during those times I'm doing my nanny gig. I can be flexible and always work something out when I need to. At the moment I work mainly in the afternoon and in the summer my times will change. I will keep you posted. I can provide services among your home if you choose. In my home I have two dogs and 3 cats. With my training classes, I also study nutrition so I try my best to provide good food for my animals. In a client's home, I would appreciate a task/chore list or a list of anything you deem important so that I can provide the utmost care for your pet.
About: I have had a dog for 8 years. This summer I volunteered at the Coles County animal shelter and decided this would be another great way to care for dogs. I’m off work by 3pm each day so I could care for your pet in the evening or anytime on the weekends. I could walk your dog or stop in to play with and feed them. I have references from two friends dogs that I have walked or checked on in their homes. I am also willing to provide character or regular work references.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies since I was a little girl. Now, I have two fur babies of my own that I absolutely love! If your doggo loves to go on walks, I’m your girl! I’ll be off work for September and half of October, so I’m able to walk your fur babies any time through the week and on most weekends. My boys love to go on several walks throughout the day. They have free reign of the house but I have a crate available if needed.

Joel F.
“Joel is the biggest animal lover I know. He is focused on pet health, wellness and attention. I have 3 cats-Bella, Stella and Nike and one dog named Connor. They all get lots of attention from Joel. He cuddles with the cats, plays laser light and makes sure they are fed and watered. Joel works with Connor to teach him tricks, takes him on walks and makes sure he has plenty of outdoor time. If you want someone good to take care of your pet, Joel is your guy.”

Sierra R.
“Sierra was great with our two dogs. She took excellent care of them. Virgil, the Aussie, can be a handful. He is a ball of energy. Sierra played with him an entertained him until he was tired. Orville, the Irish Wolfhound, can be shy and leary of people. She handled him without any issues and he loves her now. Sierra is very knowledgeable about dog breeds and their personalities. Followed our instructions perfectly and left our home in better shape than we did. We chose her for all of our pet sitting needs. She even cared for our chickens while we were out of town.”
