“Mallory was so great! We had a few hiccups with food and forgot to provide some key information, but she was so patient with us and willing to roll with the punches.”

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.

“I have used Jeannette several times to care for my 4 kitties when I am away. They have gotten to know her and even my shy girl comes out to play now. I appreciate that She leaves things clean. Trash with litter and catfood cans bagged and out to trash can. Will use her again and recommend to others.”

I always communicate with updates and photos, so you feel at ease and confident with their care.

“Ashlyn is super reliable. She is great w/my fur babies. She does a great job giving all sorts of meds and always goes above and beyond to make sure my place looks just like I left it. It’s so nice to come back after a long trip and just step right back into your life. Thanks Ashlyn (and hubby) for keeping Louis and Cricket safe!”

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 available around the clock, and am never far from home. I rarely go out and when at work I use a webcam to watch the dogs. Animals are visited every 3 hours on days that I work. I always send photos when the dogs go walking as proof of service; I also send photos periodically as most owners enjoy this. 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.

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.

“Elena is a great sitter we would recommend to anyone. She came over before we left for us to show her how to care for our cat which was really helpful. She sent pictures and updates regularly and you can tell she really cares about your pet. We are so glad to have Elena nearby and will for sure use her services again!”

“Kayla! Took incredible care of my two cats over the thanksgiving holiday. She managed to enjoy her T-day and decorate her home for Christmas but still made sure my kitties were happy. Who could ask for more?”

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.

“Brianna did an excellent job! She came over to meet us before we left. She is a warm, caring, trustworthy! She did exactly what she promised. We would highly recommend Brianna!”

About: I've taken care of dogs for a bit more recently. I've worked at a doggy daycare and grooming facility. I love it, I have 2 dogs of my own.

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!
