Pet Sitting in Mascoutah

“Nicole took a good care of our pug taking him for walks, putting in eye drops, & sending multiple pics for each drop-in visit. Will definitely be using her services again!”

“Amy was AMAZING! Maintained communication through every visit as well as sent many photos. I could tell my dogs were ECSTATIC in the photos and I was able to have a stress free vacation knowing my babies were in great hands !”

About: I have had a lifelong passion for animals and extensive hands-on experience caring for many different types. Growing up, I helped rescue animals and learned the importance of patience, compassion, and responsible care. I’ve owned and cared for a wide variety of animals ranging from chickens to horses, which gave me experience with different needs, temperaments, and daily routines. My love for animals also led me to participate in 4-H and FFA, where I continued developing my animal care skills and knowledge. Over the years, I’ve cared for multiple dog breeds including a pitbull, shih tzu, poodle, husky, and German shepherd, and I currently have two miniature goldendoodles that I walk and care for every day. Through these experiences, I’ve become very comfortable working with animals of all sizes and personalities, and I truly enjoy providing them with attentive, loving, and reliable care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and availability. I work evenings at my other job, which allows me to provide pet care services during the morning and afternoon. This flexible schedule makes it easy for me to walk, feed, and check in on animals one to three times per day as needed. I also have Thursdays off and most weekends available, giving me even more time to dedicate to longer walks, playtime, and consistent care. Because I already walk my own dogs daily, incorporating additional pets into my routine is something I am comfortable with, and I am committed to providing reliable, attentive care that fits each animal’s individual needs. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of toys and space for them to play and stay active. I make sure they receive lots of attention, regular potty breaks, fresh water, and follow any feeding or care routines provided. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment by playing with them, giving them plenty of attention, and maintaining their normal routine. I also make sure they are cleaned up well, have fresh water at all times, and that their space is kept tidy so they feel happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Jessica went out of her way to take care of my pup! I was so so thankful for her help. I would definitely ask her again!”

“Sterling was great! He always showed up within the given time window and gave my baby some love. I really appreciated the notes and pictures he’d leave on the Rover Card as well. Seeing that my kitty was being sociable and playing with his toys made me very happy. Also, I noticed in one of the pictures that Sterling took his shoes off in the house. I appreciated that SO MUCH because we are a shoes-off home to keep the floors clean. This booking was made because of a trip that was made on short notice, so Sterling being very easy to get in touch with made everything easy and worry-free. He was very personable and clearly knowledgeable about cats, so I felt safe leaving my furry baby with him. I would definitely recommend booking Sterling and I will be booking him again in the future! Thanks again!”

About: I’ve have dogsat for multiple people for the last couple years. And I really enjoy it meeting new dogs. I can do anything that you want. I can take them on walks or anything that you would like. This summer I have a internship and I won’t have a ton of time to get a job somewhere near my house so I am trying to fit something in my schedule that can help get into a routine. I am able to feed and walk if needed . I would love to take them to the dog parks and help with anything with the dog.

“Jennifer is reliable and always on time!”

“Wonderful pet-sitter! Melissa went above and beyond to take care of my cats. She took the time to play with them and give them treats, and she sent regular updates about everything. Some of my cats are a little “high-needs” and she handled them beautifully. Would definitely book again and I highly recommend Melissa to other pet owners.”

“Rachel was a dream/lifesaver!!! Not only did she have an instant rapport with my anxious-about-new-people puppy, but she responded immediately to my sudden and very last-minute need for help when our usual pet sitter had a conflict about an hour before I had to leave town for the weekend! I was afraid I’d have to cancel everything but in a matter of about an hour Rachel came to meet me and our two dogs, get instructions and a house key, and that was that. I liked her immediately — she clearly has dog-whispering skills! — and I had NO qualms about leaving town with them in her care. I cannot thank or praise her enough — did I mention that she even noticed a scheduling error I’d made in my rush to get the paperwork done? She handled everything with ease and generosity. And the photos she sent each day of the dogs made it very clear that they were in very good hands, so we were all very thankful for Rachel! We will definitely call her again. RW”

About: Hi! My name is Nikki and I’ve lived with dogs and cats since I was a toddler. I always loved helping my parents and grandma with our many pets while growing up, but it wasn’t until I graduated high school that I decided to start expanding to pet-sitting for my friends as well! I was always happy to spend time with and gain knowledge from their furry friends. Two years after high school, I adopted a sweet husky puppy. He was just 8 weeks old when I took him home and I quickly realized raising a puppy is A LOT of work (but worth it!!). After a long journey of trial and error and 4 training classes together, he’s the best friend I could ask for. Three years later my dad rescued 3 more husky puppies, who I also helped raise! They have definitely taught me patience, how to deal with a semi-reactive dogs, and has made me confident in my ability to care for large breeds. I’ve looked after a variety of breeds, big and small, timid and reactive. I’m experienced in handling high energy dogs, young puppies who are still learning, and older dogs who need extra care and patience. I’ve also looked after cats, including those that needed help with medications and asthma treatment. Whether your pets like to walk and play or just need someone to hangout with while you’re gone, I can do it all. I will care for your beloved pets in your home and follow all your wants and needs! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I’m currently available any time Wednesday-Friday and on most Saturdays. I like to know all the details about your pets every day life so I can help keep their routines as normal as possible. Whether that includes certain times for feeding, walking, medications, etc. I also like to know if they are reactive, timid, or have any other quirks you want me to know about!

About: I have been around pets my entire life, so taking care of animals comes easy to me! I am experienced at both house sitting and home visits. I have taken care of kittens and senior animals, ensuring they always feel safe and happy. I am a full time college student looking for work over summer break, giving me plenty of time to help out! You can trust that I am efficient when it comes to taking care of your pets. I have plenty of tools to take your fur babies on a day of fun! With both a pet stroller and leashes, I can ensure cats and dogs get some nice fresh air.

About: I’ve taken care of 3 dogs at once on multiple occasions. I currently have 2 dogs at home that I grew up with that are around 12 years old while the other is only 3 years old. I also currently have 2 of my own dogs that are 1 year old and 5 months old. I have some experience with puppy training as I’m currently in the puppy phase with my own. I just graduated and am trying to pass my certification test so I currently don’t have a job but I am looking around. I am free most, if not all, weekends and weekdays. I love dogs so I like to give them love and cuddles as well as some play time like tug-of-war, throwing a ball, or even play dates with my puppies.

About: I've had my own cats for almost 6 years, I've volunteered at the Belleville Area Humane Society for around 4 months, and I do occasional dogsitting and housesitting for family friends when needed. I have a summer job that starts on May 26th, and I have training from 9-4 on May 17th and 23rd. I'm unsure of which days I'll be working yet, so I will let you know when I can what my schedule will be. I will be completely free on weekends aside from outside events. I appreciate detailed instructions on any specifics needed when caring for your pets, such as medications, feeding times, bathroom breaks, regular walks, or any other schedule they need.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 2 years. As a military member, I’ve often helped fellow military friends and counterparts care for their pets while they were away or working long hours. I currently have two rescue dogs. One terrier mix and a chihuahua, and they are my all. I have also had plenty of pets my whole life. My home was always full of pets, especially beagles. I had 5 beagles growing up and a Lab mix, it was always fun spending time with them and growing up around them <3 Spending time with animals genuinely makes me happy, and I love creating a safe, caring, and fun environment for them. I’m also fully bilingual and fluent in both English and Spanish. I am currently in the military, so my schedule may vary each week. However, I usually have more than 12 days off per month, giving me plenty of flexibility and time to provide dependable and caring pet services. I am also available to provide services inside SCOTT AFB. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. During walks, I make sure dogs get exercise, potty breaks, fresh water if needed, and plenty of attention and care. For drop-in visits, I can feed pets, refresh water bowls, provide potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and make sure everything is clean and secure before leaving. I always pay close attention to each pet’s personality, energy level, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I also enjoy sending photo updates so owners can feel at ease while they are away.

“Lauren was so wonderful! She met with us before our trip and took which great care of or 5 cats! We didn’t have to worry about them at all, we knew they were in great care!”

About: I've watched pets for friends and family since I was a teenager. I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats and will love them like they are my own. I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby. I am currently a stay at home spouse and looking for ways to make extra income doing something I love. I am extremely flexible with my schedule and will make the time to make things work. I have a cat that is not friendly with other cats(not sure about dogs), so can only take requests for drop-in or walking for the time being. I have walked and pet sat for several clients with bigger dogs and that have special needs and am comfortable with them all. I do always try and do a meet and greet before our first visit so your pet can get to know me before they are left alone with me.

“Maddison did amazing with our doggies. The dogs were afraid at first, but she was able to earn the trust of our doggies by the end of the first visit. Our dogs opened up to her on her next visits. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that Maddison was taking good care of our dogs. We are definitely booking her again on our next trip.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life. You can rest assured your pups, big and small, will get all the love and attention while you’re away. I currently work full-time, Monday through Friday, but have three pups of my own at home and can board additional pups overnight during the week and can do daytime walks on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and keep your pets separated from my household pets unless they are long-time visitors and we know everyone gets along well.

“Did an awesome job taking care of my cat and definitely would recommend to anyone else. Even taught my cat tricks.”
