1. Marjorie P.
“While I was gone for a week, Marjorie took care of my cats; dog; and beardie. Looking back on the camera, she was nice and gentle with all of them; they took to her easily. However, the best part is her free estimates. She is willing to sit down and meet with you and your critters before you decide if she would be a good fit. Trust me, she is!”

5. Colby H.
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I feel that my compassion and empathy for animals goes beyond what most people are capable of. I have trained all of my own dogs and have an ample amount of experience. I’m working part time but my schedule varies. So, I am likely available. I am available most times of the day including early mornings and nights. Your animal will be treated with the utmost compassion and love. I will treat your animal as I treat my own. I truly only wish for your animal to feel safe and loved! My fur baby is my best friend and understand what pets mean to most people.
6. 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.

“I have known Kalen for most of his life. He was raised around animals loves them , cleans up after them in the yard. Kalen loves his dogs and all dogs. They lay on him and he pets and loves on them. They are his babies. He always has a big smile and a hug for a dog. he’s great with actually all animals especially dogs. he owns dogs and he’s very good with them he takes time to play with them and love on them and teach them.

10. Brandi S.
About: I grew up with a dog, currently live with two dogs and a large (long) cat who also will play or lay with the dogs. Dogs are funny, fun to play with and great to walk, especially since I get to exercise too ;) plus I love trying to teach them tricks! I have a passion for animals and photography so I have volunteered at an animal shelter (Tails Humane Society)! I took pictures of adoptable animals for their website as well as taking photos at their fundraising events. I have also driven around in my own to collect any donations people were willing to give and donate them to a couple animal shelters. Ultimately, I enjoy helping and do the as much as I can to help animals. Available most all day every day to help with your pets whenever you need. I'm glad to help, I really enjoy helping others with their pets I will do what is needed like feed, water and walk but always try to stay a bit longer to spend time with the animal. I like to think of it as giving them some company for a bit while their owner is away :)
11. Amanda W.
About: I am a fur mom so I know how important dogs and cats are to a family. I have a full knowledge of what kind of care and time they require. I also worked at a dog boarding facility for 2 and half years where I was responsible for walks, feeding, grooming, giving vaccines, and just loving on around 100 cats and dogs of all ages. I’ve had experience with any breed of dog that you could possibly think of. My dogs and cats are my babies so let me share the love and put your mind at ease when you are away. I will always treat them with the upmost care. So please consider me to be able to love and protect your babies when you are working or on vacation. I am currently a stay at home mom, my schedule will allow me to be available for your pet 24/7 to ensure they are getting the best care. I have a sweet dog to keep yours company. I also have a kennel available if that is needed for your dog. I always have treats on hand!

17. Autumn M.
“I have known Autumn for nearly two years. She is a honest person with great integrity. She has watched my dog many times over the time I have known her. She loves animals. I have personally witnessed Autumn voluntarily walk in the cold to help find a neighbors lost dog. Other times I have seen her take in dogs when the owner left them out in the cold with no food or water. Her passion for animals is second to none. She is gentle and kind and would do anything asked of her to care for animals. I wouldn’t want anyone else caring for my pet.”
18. Esther & Kevin K.
“I'm so happy Esther is choosing to do this! She loves animals and I remember volunteering with her at the humane shelter a while ago, and the staff would always light up when she walked in. It's because she is so good with the dogs! She's also watched my dog a few times at her house, and he always loves it! I would highly recommend her!”
19. Brittany B.
About: I grew up around animals of all kinds- from dogs to iguanas to chickens. At 18 I got my own place and rescued 2 puppies. Fast forward 2 years, I fostered 2 new pups- ended up keeping 1 and gifting my parents with the other. I can take your dog for walks, to the park, hiking, check on them at home.. Whatever you’re comfortable with! I have such a deep passion for working with animals and I will nurture yours as if they were my own. I look forward to giving your dogs the proper care and love they need while you’re away! I work remote and live in town which gives me a lot of flexibility and availability. I have 3 dogs (10yr, 8yr and 5.5yr) so I'm super comfortable with feeding/walking/playing with animals. I live in an apartment with a huge back yard area. I also have an SUV which I can take your pups to the park or hiking if that's something you'd be interested in!
