2. Jennifer P.
About: I love animals and have had animals (cats and dogs) most of my life. I am knowledgeable about the care of cats and dogs. I love to take dogs on walks, play with cats/dogs, and am reliable and consistent. I am reliable and consistent. I don’t currently have any animals at home so I can even watch them at my house. I would let you know if there are time frames when I will be gone. I am very mindful of respecting peoples property, taking my shoes off, etc. I would make sure to keep your house clean while your pet is well loved.

“I contacted Anj on a bit of short notice and after booking, she made feel that I had made the right decision immediately. She took great care of Tammy and sent me update and pics frequently. I could definitely contact her to care for Tammy again and would highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: I have taken care of many family and friends animals for years. I walked, fed and bathed their pets. I have grown up with pets. I am a student at EIU. I have class from 11-2 everyday. I may have tutoring once or twice a week for an hour but will be free most of the week and weekends. I take my dog on walks twice a day when home. I change the food and water every every day and night. I clean and vaccum after my animals.

“Connie is a very responsible and loving pet owner. I would leave my dog with her any day. I trust her to take good care of her. She is one of the only people I trust to watch my Shih-poo. She treats her just like she does her own dogs Ollie and Milo and they are taken great care of.”
