“Olivia was great I was needing help with my senior dog in service dog Kodiak and she was right there to help and with not much notice. She has a very lovely personality and Kodiak seem to really enjoy being with her?”

About: I've trained and have been a parent to numerous breeds. Right now my wife and I have 2 adorable golden doodles. We can't have kids so our pets mean everything to us I'm currently working from home selling items online and taking care of our dogs and cat. I take care of the house and yard and keep it clean I will feed them and play with them. I will let them out and clean up any messes they may l leave. I will check in on them multiple times.

About: Pets give us light in our lives, they love us unconditionally. Hi, my name is August, and I want to help you care for your four, three, and two legged furry family members! I understand the need to make sure your pets are taken care of while you're away; whether it be for a few hours or a few weeks, it still feels like forever. I am here to make things easier for you and your pet while you spend time away from each other. My experience comes from years of caring for my own dog, cat, and a few exotic pets as well as caring for my clients pets since 2017. During the time I watch your pup or kitty, for however long, I consider them my priority, and will treat them with that same love and care I would with my own family. You can also look forward to quality photo updates of your pet, as I double as a photographer when I can. Many of my clients tell me their dog or cat warms up to me faster than others, that they usually have trouble with people but not with me. No matter the case, when I meet your pet they will sense my energy, nature, and presence, and as a result, your dog or cat will feel very comfortable with me. 🙂 I look forward to taking care of you furbaby! I have a flexible schedule and this is my main job. I am home most of the day, if not all day, and never gone for more than a few hours. When I take care of your furry family members in the comfort of their home, I make sure they feel at ease by taking my time with them, letting them acclimate, and making sure they know they are safe. I tend to try to perform the same routines as my clients to create a sense of familiarity and consistency in the home. When I'm dogsitting in my home, I take a similar approach and make sure to acclimate them slowly and maintain the same routine they would have in their own home! I take one client at a time for this and maintain safety in my home.

About: I have grown up in a household with dogs, mainly the medium to large sized breeds. I have experience with all sizes of dogs though, as I have taken care of a variety of sized dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. I have taken care of cats and dogs when needing medical care - especially giving meds and minor wound care - and also have groomed and walked many types and sizes of dogs. I love making sure the pets are healthy and happy. I have volunteered at an animal shelter to help with the care of animals - providing play time, meds, and grooming of both dogs and cats. I'm currently a full time student at SIUE and I'm in the MFA art studio program. For summer 2026 semester my schedule is Mon-Fri for a few hours in July. For fall I have classes Monday through Friday for a few hours at a time. Weekends I'm generally free. For drop ins and walks, I'll work with you to figure out the best time(s) based upon my schedule and distance from campus. During house sitting, I can provide food, medicine, play time, walks, and many other services. I also am willing to assist with house related things - bringing in mail, taking trash out for trash pickup, etc - just let me know and we can work it out. For walks and drop ins, in addition to the service, I can provide some house related services (like bring in mail and packages) upon request. I am available to help with the pets at the clients home. I can either stay at your place or go home at night, which I can work with you based on your needs and comfort. I have experience with gated and non gated yards (so needing to leash the dog when taking out for the potty), gates for inside the house, and crate training. Often I will have my own leash with me so that if anything happens, I'm prepared. As for walks, I often work with the dog(s) to see what triggers them and avoid as much as possible. I know not all dogs are friendly with other dogs or people so I am aware of my surroundings and provide appropriate distance to avoid people and dogs as best as I can.

“Finn and Buddha are doing very well. More walks together will get Buddha to understand that its Finn and Bu. ;)”

About: I've had my own cats for almost 6 years, I've volunteered at the Belleville Area Humane Society for around 4 months, and I do occasional dogsitting and housesitting for family friends when needed. I have a summer job that starts on May 26th, and I have training from 9-4 on May 17th and 23rd. I'm unsure of which days I'll be working yet, so I will let you know when I can what my schedule will be. I will be completely free on weekends aside from outside events. I appreciate detailed instructions on any specifics needed when caring for your pets, such as medications, feeding times, bathroom breaks, regular walks, or any other schedule they need.

About: Can help take care of big dogs, and can play with dogs all day. Cats I can give them their space or play with them as needed. Rover is a summer side job for me to fund my college and stay active. And I love playing and being with dogs and cats. When it comes to walking or at home care, I have the experience and care to work out all sorts of trouble or problems with dogs and cats.

“Ashley is great with my young Goldendoodle Herman! She takes him on the best walks in our neighborhood while my husband and I are at work. Ashley is great at communicating & accommodating my family’s dynamic schedule—and Herman is so much happier when I get home from work when he’s gotten attention from Ashley during the day!!”

“Amazing experience. Gabby was a very easy going and cared well for our dogs. She is a professional and I highly recommend her. Once you meet her, your mind will be at ease knowing your pets and safe and sound in her care. Great communications throughout the experience. 100% recommend and will call on her again!”

About: Without having a ton of experience, I work well and will live up to your expectations! I love animals; I have two dogs and a kitty. I'm good with all different types! I'm a senior high school, trying to start a part-time job here. I've kept the same job for two years and have loved that experience working with kids! I'm good with keeping puppies safe on walks. My cavalier loves to go on long walks. Keeping a good eye of roads, what they step on, and what they eat!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up on a small animal farm and spent many years caring for animals of all kinds, including feeding, cleaning, and attending to their daily needs. During the school year, I teach 2nd grade, and during the summer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pups. I will treat them like family and make sure they receive lots of love, attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. 🐾 I currently work full time and full time schooling. I am on break right now so I have plenty of free time. I work 4 overnights a week. There is always someone home, when I’m at work my boyfriend is at home taking care of your dog. I have a large fenced in back yard that my doggie loves to run and play in. My dog Buzz would love to have your fur baby as a play mate!

“They absolutely love her! I actually think Simba & Lola are disappointed when the dope opens and its me and not her after a week of me being gone. Lauren is the best!”

About: EXPERIENCED IN CARE OF DIABETIC ANIMALS! I am a junior in college and have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to spend more time with your loved ones. I have two dogs, a small diabetic Yorkiepoo and a high energy wire haired, pointing Griffin. As a college student I have a lot of flexibility to provide care almost around the clock!

About: Dogs are our family, and I understand that small breeds have their own quirks and attention needed. I have been a small dog owner for over a decade and have experience with administering medication. I have a highly flexible schedule because I am retired from the Air Force. Your dog will receive my undivided attention because I only accept one client at a time. I promise that In terms of walks, feedings, and playtime, I can adapt to any schedule your dog may require. My primary goal is to ensure that your pet is familiar with his/her environment. In addition to minimizing stress and keeping the pet's normal routine intact. Safety is also a high priority for me while caring for your fur baby. I will ensure to keep you updated with photos.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have been taking care of them since I was able to. I also would help my neighbors as a kid when they would go out of town. I have two dogs now and love them to death. I’m can walk, feed, bathe, and play with your pet. I am working when I am a free. So your pets care would be my first priority after getting up in the morning. If need over night that would work perfectly. If you have a fenced In yard. I would still go outside with them and have some play time if they would like. Also if we had to take them on a walk I would follow what the animal would like. I will take care of your pet just like they are my own.

About: I am a lifelong cat owner, and have pet-sat for both dogs and cats since I was a kid. I’ll keep your babies well taken care of :) I’m a high school teacher, so during the summer I have plenty of time for pet care. During the school year I am available after 3pm. I’ll be sure to follow all directions you leave, keep your fur babies in their designated areas, lock your doors, and anything else you need to make sure your fur babies are safe.
