“I adore Ashley! But even better, Sky adores Ashley! My dog is fairly new to me and I have never had a Great Pyrenees before. Sky has come with baggage too...and she's had a rough time of it after losing her previous human after reaching 10 years old. We will be fine...but it will be a long struggle. Ashley's kindness and her understanding of dog behavior has made a huge difference with Sky! Ashley figured out why this pup wouldn't eat (apparently hates metal dishes) and how to make her more comfortable with drinking sufficient water (wants to drink out of a plastic container of any sort). Who would have guessed! Ashley is a super diagnostician! If you are looking for a great sitter for your sweet furbaby, think Ashley! She is perfect!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I have experience with everything from playful puppies to seniors needing extra care and attention. I understand how important routines, patience, and love are when it comes to making pets feel safe and happy. Your pets will be treated like family in my care. I offer flexible boarding for pets who are comfortable hanging out at home during the day. I make sure everyone gets their energy out in the mornings, has a safe space while I’m at work, and then gets lots of love, potty breaks, and playtime in the evenings and on weekends. I treat every pet like family and make sure they’re safe and happy while you’re away. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or just a calm place to relax, I’ll make sure they’re cared for like one of my own.

About: I’ve spent several years caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to walk their pups or to just drop in for a visit! I’m comfortable walking high-energy dogs as well as senior pups who prefer a slower pace and extra patience. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs and routine, including leash, manners, feeding schedules, and any special instructions. Safety is always my top priority, and I make sure every walk is both fun and stress-free! I treat every dog like my own-lots of positive reinforcement, praise and care. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you know your pup is in good hands! I work full time at the Marion Police Department and I’m in the Army Reserves-currently my days off are Friday-Sunday. If you need help during the week, we can discuss that and see if I can squeeze you in! During walks and drop-in visits, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while sticking closely to their normal routine. I treat every pet with patience and respect, and I provide updates after each visit so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.

About: Your boy/girl is probably not going to like that you are going away, but I know how to minimize their discomfort. I am a friendly young man, very well versed in animal behavior with plenty of time and energy to devote to keeping your dog happy. I have 1 medium sized dog. My pet is treated like family and I appreciate their company very much. I will appreciate your dog’s company as well. I work 1 block from home. Your dog can hang in the house, in their crate or in a partitioned room I have lots of options for all sorts of temperaments and training. I walk my dog when I wake up, then sometimes a short walk after work. Dogs are welcome to roam the house (1500sq ft). When outside I have a tightly fenced in yard, attached is a newly constructed 2 car garage (empty) with concrete floors perfect for cooling off on hot days. Water is always plentiful and refreshed often whether inside or outside. I am also available around the clock, and am never far from home. I rarely go out but at night I use a webcam to watch the dogs if I’m out. Animals are visited every 3 hours on days that I work, and I usually send photos when the dogs go walking or when I check in. Fenced in yard, plenty of room; I have 3 XL animal crates for visitor’s use if preferred. I also have AirTags which I put on my guests during their stay for added safety.

“I recently had the pleasure of using Jeanette for my diabetic kitty, Stella, and I couldn't be happier with the care provided. From the start, Jeanette was incredibly attentive and professional, ensuring that she understood Stella's special needs and medication schedule. During my time away, Jeanette kept me updated with regular photos and detailed messages about how Stella was doing, which gave me great peace of mind. Stella requires precise insulin administration and a strict feeding routine, and Jeanette handled everything perfectly. It's clear that Jeanette has a genuine love for animals and a solid understanding of how to care for pets with special medical needs. When I returned, I took solace knowing Stella had been well-cared for. I highly recommend Jeanette for anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate pet sitter, especially if your pet has special medical needs. Thank you, Jeanette, for your exceptional service!”

About: I grew up around animals of all kinds- from dogs to iguanas to chickens. At 18 I got my own place and rescued 2 puppies. Fast forward 2 years, I fostered 2 new pups- ended up keeping 1 and gifting my parents with the other. I can take your dog for walks, to the park, hiking, check on them at home.. Whatever you’re comfortable with! I have such a deep passion for working with animals and I will nurture yours as if they were my own. I look forward to giving your dogs the proper care and love they need while you’re away! I work remote and live in town which gives me a lot of flexibility and availability. I have 3 dogs (10yr, 8yr and 5.5yr) so I'm super comfortable with feeding/walking/playing with animals. I live in an apartment with a huge back yard area. I also have an SUV which I can take your pups to the park or hiking if that's something you'd be interested in!

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.

I could not have been happier with the care that Tamara provided my dog Harvey. I found myself in a bit of a bind, but Tamara was accommodating even on short notice. Also, she was able to stop by prior to meet Harvey, which I definitely appreciated!

I adore Ashley! But even better, Sky adores Ashley! My dog is fairly new to me and I have never had a Great Pyrenees before. Sky has come with baggage too...and she's had a rough time of it after losing her previous human after reaching 10 years old. We will be fine...but it will be a long struggle. Ashley's kindness and her understanding of dog behavior has made a huge difference with Sky! Ashley figured out why this pup wouldn't eat (apparently hates metal dishes) and how to make her more comfortable with drinking sufficient water (wants to drink out of a plastic container of any sort). Who would have guessed! Ashley is a super diagnostician! If you are looking for a great sitter for your sweet furbaby, think Ashley! She is perfect!

As usual, Ashlyn did a wonderful job caring for my furbaby! She is SO flexible; it totally sets you at ease when your flight gets delayed…twice! She is always willing to step up and step in if/when needed if my travel plans are unexpectedly extended. So grateful to have her caring for Cricket! So nice to walk into my place just as I left it also!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ASHLYN for all your pet care needs. 👍👍
