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.

“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.”
3. Aubrey H.
“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.”
4. Mallorie S.
“Mallorie is a very caring individual that has an enormous heart for animals. She treats every animal that she come into contact with like her own. As a pre-vet major she is very knowledgeable about the health and wellbeing of animals.”
5. Jennifer P.
“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❤️”
6. Abby B.
“Abby did an awesome job watching our 2 cats! She was thorough with the reports and included pictures and videos of them while we were away. She also made sure that any of the messes the cats made were cleaned up too! I highly recommend her for watching your fur babies!”
7. Xiana P.
“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. :)”
8. Kirsten B.
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.

“Ashley, thanks for celebrating Thanksgiving with Dieterich!! You are the best!”
12. Riley J.
“Let this serve as a letter of affirmation that Riley J. is a very responsible person who LOVES pets. She gives the same amount of care, patience, affection and adoration as she gives her own pets (2 dogs, 2 cats and 4 ducks). She has carefully raised 1 dog from a pup (and hasn’t met a dog she doesn’t like), 1 shelter dog and at least 8 kittens ferel to tame (even bottle feeding one: people ask her to prepare kittens for households), and 4 ducks from ducklings. She is a gentle and kind but also understands how to provide positive reinforcement and enrichment and training to teach and reinforce rules. Riley is responsible in her duties and will meet and exceed expectations for care.”
13. Nicole L.
“Terrific Job!”
14. Samantha C.
About: I was born and raised an animal lover! I’ve had animals my whole life and that developed into working with them on a professional level for a time. Whether it’s playing fetch with your energetic puppy, tiring your kitty out with all the toys, or giving your elderly furr babies the extra care they need I will do it with the upmost love and care! I am a part time server at a local restaurant. With only working a few hours a day that leaves me a lot of time to work with your furr babies! For clients home I will treat it with all the respect and only go and treat for the animals in the areas you feel comfortable with! I am a very vigilant person and will always make sure your animals are safe with me!
15. Brianna M.
“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! :)”
16. Joey S.
“Joey was great with my dogs. He is easy to work with and will accommodate the client. Much appreciated.”
17. Mahayla B.
“Mahayla is great with animals. She absolutely loves ALL animals. Anytime she cares for my animals she does a great job and we really trust her with them.”
18. Jeanna-Marie W.
About: I have taken care of many family and friends animals for years. I walked, fed and bathed their pets. I have grown up with pets. I am a student at EIU. I have class from 11-2 everyday. I may have tutoring once or twice a week for an hour but will be free most of the week and weekends. I take my dog on walks twice a day when home. I change the food and water every every day and night. I clean and vaccum after my animals.
19. Jenny M.
“Jenny has walked our dog a few times and Sophie loves her!! She took pictures of Sophie and sent them to me too so I could see her when we were gone! I would definitely recommend her for your dog walking needs!!”
20. Michaela J.
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.
