Cat Sitting in Macomb

“Jess is very responsible and extra helpful.”

“Emily was amazing watching my 2 dogs. One is a silver lab, one is a pit bull lab mix, both are very energetic and jump and can be a lot to handle for the wrong person. They’re both also about 70 lbs. Emily played with them, took them on walks (a hard task because they pull), and sent me updates. Anytime she’s available she’s the first person I’ll ask. She also told me how much she enjoys them which I really appreciate. It’s nice to know the person watching them cares about them like we do. They’re very special and important to us and we know they’re in good hands with Emily.”

“I had a Belgian Malinois named Cheyenne and whenever she came by to take care of her it was the best experience my beautiful dog ever had. She would play with her constantly, give her tons of attention and was careful with her when need be because of my dogs old age. The experience she brought to the table with her knowledge of working at a vet clinic and animal shelter really helped her with knowing how to care for my elderly dog and made her uniquely qualified for the job. If I still had Cheyenne I would ask her to come back time and time again.”

About: I've been around animals the majority of my life; whether that's at the grandparents, cousins, family friends, or, even my house. I've always helped with taking them out, feeding them, playing with them, and even relaxing with them. A big part of my life, I was blessed to share with a Corgi named Angel; she was spirited, goofy, and sassy. We said goodbye to her in 2021, but welcomed a new furbaby into our home in the late summer of 2022: a golden retriever/yellow lab mix named Max. A total 180, right? Went from a small dog to this big gentle giant. If there's anything I love doing, it's sharing an adventure (no matter how big, or small) with my furry companions. I've learned over the years when to see a dog is uncomfortable vs when they are as cool as a cucumber. I've learned when it's time to go potty and to watch behaviors on it, and when to give them extra time for it (especially when they are older). Currently I am in Macomb, Il at WIU for school, and Max is at home with my fiance. When I come home, I walk Max when it is gorgeous outside, play with him to get that extra energy out, go on car rides where it's just running a small errand, and making sure he is groomed accordingly with his long hair and nails. So, currently I do not have a job, but when I am home for breaks I spend majority of my time with Max and taking care of him. I walk them outside to get any energy out and to get new smells in (and also for them to fully clean out), I play with them with their toys inside or out, and offer positive reinforcement with treats. I give them space and let them get to know me and become familiar with my scent.

“Mackenzie is a very smart, dedicated and outgoing person. Mackenzie is a full-time nursing student, and she works as a waitress at the country club and is a member of the air national guard. She is very athletic and smart and has a huge heart and love for animals. She would love to have her own when she is able to make time and isn't so busy with homework during the school year. She would be a huge asset to your team. She is reliable and dedicated to everything she does.”

“Brianna helped with a last second drop-in visit for our two dogs. She responded super quickly, took lots of photos for me and was incredibly sweet! Thanks again!”

“Iris did a great job and was very communicative while I was gone, would definitely have her come check in on Simon again!”

“Coree got me out of a jam when my scheduled person backed out! She went above and beyond taking care of my 4 legged baby! Definitely glad I came across here and will be scheduling her again for future plans! 😁”
