1. Shawna S.

“Shawna watched my French Bulldog and Bull Terrier while I was out of town for about five days last summer, and I was so happy she did. She sent me photos, along with updates on how they were managing without me. I liked that she didn’t just stop by, feed them, and leave- but instead hung out with them for a little while. It made me feel better knowing they weren’t just sitting alone all day. Thanks Shawna! 10/10 would recommend.”

“Sylvia was reliable, caring, and affectionate with my Dresden.”


3. Lydia C.
“Lydia is absolutely amazing and most caring woman I know. She's fostering a very special needs dog at our shelter and not only did she open her home and heart, she's went above and beyond for him and all of our dogs here. She is always happy to spend her time with them, never rushing around. She just enjoys the dogs and they really enjoy her coming to visit. She's probably the only person I would trust to care for my pets if I were unable to. Just the perfect dedication and love every dog should be so lucky to have.”


4. Neil U.
“Neil has had the ability to work with animals like I’ve never seen. From extremely expensive breeds to animals from the Humane Society these animals seem to bond with him because of his ability. He has a fenced in backyard plus lives by a multi acre city park where he walks his dog daily.”


5. Kaylea B.
“Kaylea has loved and cared for my dogs for a long time! I'm always at ease knowing they are in great hands knowing she is there with them and treating them like her own! She is always on time and has went above and beyond what was asked of her each time! Kaylea is our go to person when needing a sitter knowing we can trust her but more importantly knowing our dogs adore her and have so much fun when she is with them!”

About: Ive taken care of my neighbors cats and walked other friends dogs multiple times and I've always loved all kinds of animals I've also taken care of my brothers snake before as well I'm available to walk, drop in or even house sit all kinds of animals. I can do it mainly during the day but I can also do house sitting that requires over night stays I can't have other dogs to come over to my house due to having 2 other dogs and 3 cats in the house so I can't bring them here. But I have plenty of experience caring for them in other environments

9. BB B.
About: BB’s bark &breakfast. Guests can stay with me in Superman land, southern IL. My canine or other guests will be free to roam the homes, and go on scheduled daily walks (two to three -or more upon request) They will never be unsupervised nor unleashed outside the house. Love the show Cesar 911- dog whisperer and YouTube/fb-“rocky sits with dogs” Prefer “chill” housebroken, also elder dogs, that can calmly walk on a leash. Good car riders a plus, but not required . No aggressive breeds. Retired with time to spoil your babies. Like I would my own grandkids. Laidback and chill lifestyle, wood floors. Although I’m “outta town” am willing to meet in town to pick up and drop off your baby(s) upon request If you prefer your baby uses a doggie den/crate during certain times of day or to sleep, then just let me know your/their preferred routine. Dogs need vacation too, but known routines can keep them comfortable and content, especially where it comes to diet and stomach needs. Bring what they are used to- and let me know what time they normally eat. A bed, blanket, or favorite toy can also help them cope with your absence.

About: I have grown up around animals all my life living out in the country. I grew up on a chicken farm and then from there 20+ acres of land with many animals I had to learn to care for at a young age. Additionally, I have also pet sit for my family and friends when they are out of town. I just recently pet sitted for about two months and it was a blast. It’s safe to say, I truly do have a love for any and every animal. Full time and part time availability! Flexible schedules available as well. I will work with with you in whatever way I can schedule wise to meet your needs. I go to your home , and take your dog and/or cat for walks to parks, trail, or around the neighborhood. And of course if there is a little time left, we’ll play one more time before I leave!

Dogs are like family, I consider mine my children. I currently work at a safari park and own a horse boarding facility. So I will be available to provide for the dogs almost all day. And when I’m not there they’ll have a large fenced backyard to enjoy. I have a well fenced in back yard with shelter from the elements. If the need arises they will be brought in to either my home or the barn for their safety.


14. Cameron R.
“I don’t trust my dog with many people but I left my doberman Boris with Cameron for the weekend, and he was the happiest boy. He’s got a lot of separation anxiety so I worried he wouldn’t do well but she made sure he felt right at home. She sent me plenty of updates and pictures to let me know he was doing great. Cam was so helpful and attentive with my dobie and I’d recommend her to anyone wanting 5 star pet care.”

I’m available to do short walks, feedings, and potty breaks on the Weekends. I brush my dog once a day and take her outside into the back yard for fresh air.
