“Amanda is the best pet sitter you could ask for. She just loves critters. She is so kind and caring and my two kitty girls just love her back. She has taken care of my little one’s many times. She gives plenty of feedback and pictures every time she visits. I’d give her 10 stars if I could.”
“I'm beyond happy with the service I received. She made sure to communicate and check in with me everyday at the times I specified for Midnight. I normally come home and midnight looks sad and depressed when others have watched her. I came in and she was so happy, energized and very well taken care of. My house looks the same, nothing out of place or damaged. Thank you so much Gabrielle. I will definitely continue to use her and reference her to my other dog parents. Thank you!!!”
“Cynthia is awesome! My cats got along with her right away. One of my girls even showed affection that she usually reserves for me. Love the daily pictures and updates. She was so great to let me extend my trip by a couple days, and was able to watch my kitties a little longer. Thanks for letting me be a little spontaneous! When I need a sitter again, you will be my first call. ❤️”
“Courtney was very responsive and kept us updated as we were away from our pup. Lots of photos to make us smile. She went above and beyond and brought our packages in also.”
About: Hi, I’m Shaquia, the heart behind Quia’s Furry Friends! With nearly 20 years of experience caring for pets of all breeds and sizes, I bring love, attention, and reliability to every furry friend I meet. While I don’t have pets of my own, my parents’ pups, Rascal and Chauncey, often visit me—they call my place their “vacation home”! From vacations and new babies to surgeries and life changes, I’ve been a trusted caregiver for friends and family, handling everything from walks and baths to vet visits and playtime. Whether your pet needs extra love while you’re away or a helping hand for daily care, I’m here to make their tail wag and your life easier. Let me be part of your furry family’s journey! I have a hybrid and flexible schedule, so there are days I may be away for a few hours. But no worries, your furry friend will get plenty of attention and care! I love walking and enjoying nature daily, and your pet is welcome to join me for exercise and fresh air. Our days will include a consistent potty/play schedule (3-4 times daily) tailored to their needs, starting with a morning walk, followed by meals, playtime, and plenty of love. I’m here to ensure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! Your pets will be safe, loved, and well cared for with plenty of playtime, exercise, and attention. My gated apartment community is pet-friendly, featuring parks and a pup gym for fun outdoor activities. Inside my home, potty-trained pets are free to roam, while non-potty-trained pets can roam or be caged with a structured potty schedule to help with training. I use positive reinforcement with treats (parent-approved) to encourage good habits. Your furbaby’s happiness is my priority!
“Sara has been so helpful, communicative and wonderful! She was extra patient with our grumpy old man =) We highly recommend Sara for your pet sitting or drop in needs! Can’t wait to have her back in the future. Thanks Sara!”
“Camy is fantastic! She takes such good care of my Emi and has quickly become a trusted help to my family. She has made adding a puppy to our home so enjoyable and far more stress-free.”
“Bethany did such an amazing job! She was able to take our request last minute when our other sitter fell through and literally saved my birthday weekend. Her notes were thorough and I knew our babies were being well taken care of. 10/10 recommend!”

I have two dogs and a cat of my own & I have been asked by family and friends to look after their furry family members. I hope I can take care of your furry friends next! I have school on Tuesday's and Thursdays & work Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday so I will be available on Thursdays and Sundays from 12pm-8pm. Would love to take your dogs outside for a quick potty break and some playtime, or feed your cute purring friends and offer some pets!

About: The last 20 years I haven’t gone without a dog or cat in my home. I wouldn’t imagine one without! I have my babygirl German named Maggie and my old man kitty named Frank! These 2 are my world.

About: I have taken care of so many different dogs and cats and other pets since I was 10 years old. I have watched for friends and family and really enjoy spending time with pets. I work on reduced time at amazon so I work on Sundays, Monday and Tuesdays and then on thursdays and fridays I work at a dog boarding facility. I take care of pets in the clients home just because my dogs don't get along with other pets. But I give the pets 24 hour love and attention. I love taking dogs on walks and playing fetch with them. I also love when the dogs sleep with me at night. I can also take care of pets that have medications too.
About: I provide pet sitting in my home for puppies and small dogs (under 20 lbs). I also provide drop in services to your home and dog walking. My son and I have have been dog walking and sitting for others in the Riverbend area for the past 10 years. I LOVE traveling so I know how important (and difficult) it is to find a dog sitter you can trust and rely on while you're gone. I love all dogs and enjoy meeting new clients whether I am dropping in for visits or walks or boarding in my home. Please reach out with any questions. I am a mother of two adult children and work a hybrid schedule. I have lots of free time and have been dog walking and sitting for over 10 years with my son. We started dog walking and sitting together when he was 12 and he will be starting college soon and I want to continue our side business on my own. We have 2 acres on a cul-de-sac in Godfrey and enjoy talking walks. We have a large home that is safe and dog friendly. I can also do drop-ins while you are away.

Paige S.
“I was skeptical of having a stranger in my house, however, my daughter introduced me to Rover.com Page stood out with her overwhelming care for animals. We did a meet and greet from the time she came in my home, we were comfortable with her. 2 of the 4 of my dogs took to her right away. One of my girls has attitude and the other is afraid of her shadow so it takes them awhile. We have already used Paige several times and will continue to do so. As a paw parent i always ask her to spend as much time as she can with them. My furbabies are only use to being kenneled and alone at most 8-9 hours. We are fortunate enough to work close to come so on lunch we let them out at lunch time. She has always done what we asked of her. We would recommend Paige!”
Sara W.
“I am new to this experience and Sara did a great job keeping me calm. She provided me with daily updates after each visit. She was dependable and took great care of my dog.”
