House Sitting in Marion

“Mallory took good care of our dog and cat while we were on vacation for a week. She kept me updated with pictures each day, which eased my mind, knowing they were in good hands! She also took the trash down, collected our mail, and watered the plants. I highly recommend Mallory for your pet and house sitting needs!”

About: I grew up with cats, from kittens to seniors. My chores growing up involved feeding them, grooming, cleaning up after them. My aunt and uncle had dogs I would help with growing up, and they were always active and high maintenance. In middle school, I dog sat for my neighbors and enjoyed it thoroughly. I have experience in training and handling both cats and dogs, and love a challenge! I am a full time student, but my days are very flexible. I have near full availability Thursday-Sunday and I am willing to work with you to find time for your pets! I am very respectful and willing to work with your rules and times. I am very familiar with following rules and making sure I am following every instruction to a T!

“Kayla did a wonderful job with Tori. She also watched my house. She texted and sent pictures every day, while I was away. I highly recommend her for both dog and house sitting!”

About: I have 9 + years experience in multiple animal related fields. As a current pet industry business owner, certified dog groomer, trainer, animal control officer, and future veterinary assistant; I’ve just about seen it all! A versatile career with animals has allowed me to expand my knowledge extensively. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have, or find me on Facebook at Sharp Performance Pet Services! I am free most weekends for all services; if anything is booked during the week, I am available before 8 am, during lunch around 1-2 and free after 5 pm. I have a large fenced in back yard for lots of play time, plenty of room for additional dogs in the house if they prefer not to play with other dogs.

About: I’m a law school graduate currently studying for the Illinois Bar, so I’m home all day and able to give your dog constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and a calm, supervised environment. I have two Irish Setter/Golden Retriever mixes of my own, so your pup will have friendly, well-socialized playmates (or a quiet space to decompress, depending on their personality). I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, from bouncy puppies to seniors who just want a soft spot and a steady routine. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, and individual quirks, and I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you always know how your dog is doing. My schedule is very flexible right now because I’m studying for the Illinois Bar from home, which means pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed around other commitments. I’m home the vast majority of the time, with study broken up by regular walks, play breaks, and time in the yard with my own two dogs, so your pup will easily slot into that rhythm. I can accommodate early morning potty breaks, midday feedings, evening walks, and overnight stays without any issue. On the rare occasions I need to step out for an errand or appointment, it’s usually short and I plan around the dogs’ needs. In my home, dogs have access to a secure, fenced-in space for potty breaks and play, plus plenty of comfortable indoor spots to relax. I keep a close eye on interactions between my own two dogs and any guest pup, and I always take time to introduce new dogs slowly and on neutral ground. Food, medications, and anything potentially hazardous are kept well out of reach, and I stick closely to whatever feeding schedule, routine, and house rules the owner provides. I’m attentive to body language and energy levels, so I can tell when a dog needs more play, more rest, or a little quiet time away from the group. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same care I’d want for my own. I follow all instructions carefully, stick to the dog’s normal routine to minimize stress, lock up when I leave, and keep owners updated with regular photos and messages. I’m respectful of the home, mindful of any other pets or house rules, and always reachable while I’m on a sit.

“I was so nervous to leave our 13 year old fur baby as both my husband and I were going out of town for work. Jessica took all of my worries away. Her updates and upbeat attitude helped put my mind at ease. I will absolutely trust her to watch our sweet boy again! I am so thankful for her!”

About: I’ve bathed, fed, walked, and taken my family’s dog for ten years before headed to college, so I have experience with every age of dog. I work at Aisin Electronics in Marion Illinois but have Wednesdays off as well as weekends. Other than going to the gym on those days, I have a very open schedule. When I’m home moose has free roam of the house and will ask to play or go outside whenever he wants. Usually I start to mess with him and get him riled up before I get him to play.

About: I've taken care of many pets over the years and I'm an animal lover in general. I have a Great Dane, bunny, turtle, and some fish currently. I have owned cats in the past though just not currently. I can handle big and little dogs even if they aren't the best trained then I'm the person for you. I have a lot of patience with animals. I can handle cats too I get they can have a variety of personalities. Whether they're friendly or not I'll care for them as you need. I will also take care of any other pet in your household if you need I'm not afraid of any animals. Due to college I'm not available during certain times Monday through Thursday but other than that I have a pretty flexible schedule. I don't have any kind of full time or part time job but I am looking currently. I just do dog walking/sitting right now. As of 01/10/2026, I have no current clients anymore since I just moved an hour from where I used to live. I can only dogsit in your home, I live in an apartment. At your home I'll be here the entire time I won't leave the house if you're pet is with me. I'll play with your cat or dog and give them the attention they need. I'll feed and water them at your scheduled times needed. I'll walk them and take them out when needed. Whatever the pet needs I'm here for.
