“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. :)”


“Misty was great, very happy to have her checking in on my boys. She was great at communicating, updating me and took awesome pictures. She dropped by, played with then and gave them treats.”


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.

“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❤️”


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! 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!

“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.”


“Ayda stopped by to let my two boys out and sit with them for a bit while I had to work OT. She sent pictures and made sure they went potty before she left. She even brought in my packages from the porch that had been delivered earlier in the day.”


“11/10! Madison is a wonderful caretaker! This was our first time using Rover, and we hired Madison to watch our three cats while we were out of town for a few days. It was such a relief to have her help; she was highly responsive to all our questions, attentive to our concerns (she even took notes!), and most importantly, she did a great job looking after our pets. She was flexible and able to work with our needs and those of our cats and always sent us detailed reports on how they were doing, including dozens of pictures. Madison made us feel extremely reassured and comfortable with leaving our cats in her care. We will be sure to hire her again if we ever need someone to look after our pets.”


About: I have taken care of just about any animal you can think of. I was a veterinary assistant for 4 years. I am 25 years old and currently finishing my bachelor’s degree online at SIUE. I am a teaching assistant for the local school district now! However, I really miss seeing pets all the time so I would love to pet sit for you! I have my own fur babies but I love to meet new pets and build connections with them as well as their owners! I am currently working part time as a nanny and looking to add more pet sitting clients to my workload! I am in college and trying to save money for my future and pet sitting is a very flexible way for me to do that, plus I enjoy it so much! I always love to spend quality time with the animals I am caring for, it helps them to become more comfortable and makes it more enjoyable for me as well! I like to learn the little things that each pet I take care of likes most and use that to bring them comfort and joy while I am caring for them!

“Veronica did a great job taking care of my cats. Even my shy cat warmed up to her and would come play. Veronica also managed the removal of an injured mouse that my cats had caught - above and beyond the call of duty!”


“Megan was on time and sent photos to keep me updated! Would book again”


“Carli did another great job with our dogs and cat while we were on a weekend trip! She made sure to give them plenty of time to run and play with every visit, and they love her company. She continues to be our go-to!”


“Milo is the best! There is no one our dogs love more!”


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 have worked with just about every type of animal. I worked as a veterinary assistant for five years and fostered for 10+ years. I have always loved animals and always go above and beyond for my furbabies. I often foster animals in need, as well as adopt animals in need. I honestly just have so much love and compassion to give out to all animals. I cant wait to meet your fur babies and get to know them better! Let me know if you have any questions! I am free most days with the ability to tend to your furbaby's needs whenever works best for you, as I am currently self employed and create my own schedule. I have a fenced in yard with lots of toys and room to run. I spend 2-3 hours outside (depending on the weather) with the pups playing fetch or other games.


“Kate was awesome. And Raven (the Diva) really liked her too. The jury is still out with Dobby, lol. I will definitely be hiring her again! ?”


About: I've taken care of dogs/cats ever since I could remember. From simple baths to administering medicine/medication, I've done it all. I have also helped train puppies and have experience in taking care of senior dogs/cats. I'm in college, but I'm completely free 5 days out of the week (Though I will mention that I'm unavailable on Tuesday from 9-11:50, and on Thursday from 11-11:50). So your pups/cats will get my undivided attention with all the love and care they need! I have an apartment with no pets, so it'll just be me and your furbabies. My apartment does offer pet friendly areas for dogs to be taken out to or cats that are outdoorsy. I do take pets out for routine walks and potty breaks, but I'll follow whatever routine you have in place already if need be.

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! I know accidents can happen but, I will always care for you animal/animals as I do my own! Even if your dog is stressed out and needs some play time!

“Ben was GREAT!!! We were anxious to leave our cats alone for a week and he came by and gave them pets a few times and made sure they had food. Totally put my mind at ease! We appreciate you, Ben!!!”


About: I have a year experience working for a pet sitting company doing house visits and dog walking. During this time I gained a lot of great knowledge on how to properly care for cats and dogs. I have two pets of my own as well. During a house visit I would be sure to feed, water and take them out to potty. I would also make sure to give them plenty of attention if they like that. If you have a cat I can scoop or change litter if needed as well as keep the area clean where the litter box is stored. I am also available for 30 minute walks with your pet to make sure they get the exercise they need. I look forward to hearing from you! I am available 7 am to 1 pm & 4:30 pm to 9 pm Monday through Friday to walk or care for your pet as needed for walks or if they just need checked on. I am only available to care for your pet in your home, I will take great care of them and treat your home with respect.

Ella Y.
“Ella has always had a dog in her life whether at her home or all of her extended family. When anyone needed help checking on their dog or walking it Ella was first on the list. Little by little the neighbors started asking her to help and then friends of friends. We still have people ask if Ella is around to help them. Dog lovers understand other dog lovers. Ella grew up as a dog lover.”

“Madilynn is excellent with caring for animals. I met her through my local vet clinic, where she was once a veterinary assistant. She extended her help and care to my fur babies on many occasions. Madilynn always makes sure to treat my babies like her own and she never fails to go above and beyond when animals are in her care. I will continue to use her services and with no doubt recommend her to others looking for the right caregiver for their fur babies!”
