House Sitting in Macomb

“Emily was wonderful. She took such great care of all of our fur babies. She was flexible when we couldn't make it back. I never had to worry about our babies. We came home and the house was exactly as we left it and the dogs were happy. We will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Jess watched my three dogs over the weekend, and was great! Updated me every time, the dogs loved her. Will use 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.

About: I’ve had pets since I was a child and been the one to care and mantain them. I’ve trained 2 puppies who were potty trained and knew commands. I’ve administered flea medicine. I am currently doing GrubHub and I would create my schedule around my rover schedule so I could be home as much as possible. I would prefer when not boarding at my home, to be doing Rover related activities during the day and GrubHub at night. While doing GrubHub I would be able to make stops to take pets on walks or to potty or to just say hi! I have an extremely large backyard and I also go on daily runs and house members who love animals with lots of love to give! I’m currently just doing Grub Hub and I make my own schedule and could base it around my Rover Schedule no problem, although I do require working Grub Hub from 5-11 Friday’s and Saturday’s but would still be able to drop ins! I have a huge unfenced in yard so a tether would be required but would have lots of room to run! Daily runs and lots of love!!

About: I mainly drop in and dog walk or dog sit. Contact me via phone or by text for video updates as on how your pet is doing during the walk or dog sitting. I only provide video upon request as not to bother the owner during the day. I have my days free for pets and it's relaxing, satisfying,and it keeps me active. I enjoy what I do and I would be happy to dog sit or walk your pet anytime. I no longer have pet sitting or dog boarding at my home dog walking is mainly what I do. I can provide an exciting day at the dog park or local park for your dogs pleasure.

“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.”

“Reagan was amazing! The dogs loved her!! The house was left exactly as we had it before we left. She kept in touch throughout the day so I always knew how my babies were doing! I have and will continue to recommend and use Reagan!!! 10+ stars!!”

About: I’ve worked as a boarding and daycare supervisor for the top daycare/boarding agencies in Des Moines for 3+ years. I worked for Stylin Paws Play Place and Downtown Doggy Daycare. I sat for neighbors and friends growing up. I’ve also worked in the caregiving field for 8+ years. I’ve worked in senior care, as well as with children with developmental disabilities. I’m currently out of town taking care of my grandparents, after my grandfathers open heart surgery. He’s in a stable place so my availability is all day, each day of the week. I only have classes on Saturday and Sunday from 4pm-5pm but those are done over zoom. I have more than enough time and love to go around! I promise I will provide your pets with a safe, caring, loving environment. Whatever you ask, I will do my best to provide. I will take care of your pets with the same compassion, I give to all animals and people. I will provide your pets with a new best friend, they’ll look forward to seeing!

About: I’ve been looking after animals since I was a child, including dogs, cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, gerbils, and hamsters. I also have experience teaching dogs basic tricks and better manners. I am working part time and going to WIU as a sophomore accounting major, so I will be available for occasional afternoon to evening walks or drop ins, or house and pet sitting over weekends. I would love to befriend your pets, and I treat every animal with care. I am available to walk until your high-drive dog is ready to pass out, and I will always clean up after your pets, be it in public or in your home. I love dogs with seemingly endless energy, and I would love to meet yours.

About: I've had the chance to care for pets of all shapes and sizes, from tiny hamsters to big lovable dogs. 🐹🐕 Through my experience, I've learned how to handle different temperaments and cater to each pet's unique needs. Whether it's administering medication, providing specialized diets, or simply giving extra snuggles, I go the extra mile to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. 🥰 Plus, I'm super reliable and always make sure to communicate with pet owners, sending them updates and cute photos so they can see how much fun their furry friend is having. 📸🐾 So you can trust that your beloved pet will be in great hands with me! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups!!🐶 . . . . . . . . :) When it comes to caring for pets, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment, whether it's in my home or the client's home. In my home, I make sure to create a pet-friendly space with all the necessary amenities, such as cozy bedding, toys, and a secure outdoor fenced in area for playtime. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their specific instructions and routines to provide a seamless experience for the pets. I make sure to create a familiar and comfortable environment by using their own bedding, toys, and maintaining their regular feeding and exercise schedules. Trust is of utmost importance to me, so I strive to build a strong bond with the pets and their owners. I provide regular updates, photos, and videos to keep the owners informed and reassured that their furry friends are in good hands. Overall, whether it's in my home or the client's home, I go above and beyond to provide a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment for pets under my care. 🐾😊

“Alexa gave my Hazee the same care I would have. I will not hesitate to use her in the future. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby!!”
