Pet Sitting in Mattoon

“Xiana took SUCH good care of our 3 kitties, she paid close attention to all of the details I told her about how to care for them, communicated amazingly with me the whole time, and provided so many cute pictures of our babies so that we could see how they were doing!! She is such a sweet, caring, and attentive person. :)”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 13. I’ve always had a cat growing up and when I was old enough to get my own pet I had a dog. I work part time at a dog boarding facility and when I’m not there I’m home. So I have plenty of free time to do walks, dog parks, naps on the couch, play time, and anything else needed for your fur baby. I care for pets like they are my own with unlimited pets & love. I also treat other homes like it’s my own clean, tighty, and in place.

“Aubrey was amazing! We were nervous about leaving our cat Tasha, but Aubrey made the entire process wonderful. She was always great with communication and kept us informed how things were going (thanks for the pictures!). We will definitely be looking for Aubrey again in the future.”

About: I love dogs. Big or small they are smart, intuitive, loyal and good judges of character. We will do different activities depending on your dog's personality, temperament, and age. Wether we go for a walk or play your loved one will get that one-on-one attention they so desperately need. If you need someone to wear out that puppy and make sure they get that good exercise, I'm your girl. If your dog is older and just needs a good pampering, I got you. I am available early mornings 7 days a week. My availability short notice will vary based on how close the pick up and drop off are. I know lots of parks and good neighborhoods with nice shady sidewalks for your dog and I to explore. I am willing to share GPS location so you always know where your pet might be while with me.

“My cat Fig loved her time with Anj, and I loved knowing she was getting lots of playtime, pets, and her food and water taken care of. Anj sent pictures each time she visited Fig which gave me peace of mind seeing how happy she was, even while I was away for a week.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including walking, feeding, and giving plenty of attention and love. I’ve also helped neighbors by dog-sitting and walking their pups when needed. I’m patient, reliable, and excited to care for your furry family member! I trained my dog Beau from puppyhood, so I’m familiar with basic commands, house training, and patience needed for young dogs. I’m also comfortable providing gentle care for senior dogs, including help with medication and slower-paced walks. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. On weekdays, I’m available early mornings (5:00–6:30 a.m.) and evenings after 4:30 p.m. I have mostly open availability on weekends and can provide flexible care then. I live in an apartment, so dogs in my care get regular walks and lots of attention. I walk my own dog, Beau, daily and often take him to the dog park for exercise and enrichment. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to help pets feel safe and secure. I respect their space, follow all instructions, and make sure pets are comfortable and cared for. I’m always mindful of leash safety, locked doors, and keeping a calm, pet-friendly environment. Owners can trust that I’ll treat their pets and homes with the same care I give my own.

“Lindsay was amazing while we were on a long trip. She gave updates and photos each day, even when we were out of cell range. We got home to a very happy cat and no cat accidents anywhere! We will absolutely use and recommend Lindsay in the future!”

“Brianna is seriously amazing! She has gone above and beyond to make sure our pet has loved, played with, and cared for! You can’t find a better person to work with or trust with your furry babes! :)”

About: I am a reptile keeper of 20 years with tons of experience with dogs and cats as well. We have had dogs and cats in our house my whole life. I love walking dogs and building a relationship with them as well as caring for other animals and building relationships with them. I can take care of your leopard gecko or I can take care of your pup! I have a Mali Uromastyx that I got as a 9 year old and she is doing great 20 years later. I have also cared for a Fire Skink as well as a rescue Leopard Gecko for years. I’m currently unemployed with a flexible schedule. I can be there for a walk, a game of fetch, a meal, or a snuggle if needed. I can even check on your exotic reptile for you if that’s your thing! I will care for your pets as you care for them. I’m comfortable feeding, giving treats, medicine if needed, crating dogs, feeding reptiles, cleaning litter.

“Thankful we could enjoy a worry free outing and know there was someone to check on our boy this afternoon.”

About: I’ve been a pet owner for over 15 years. I’ve also taken care of pets for friends and family. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages. I work full-time but have a schedule that allows me to provide great service to your pets. I am available during the week and on weekends. While dropping in to care for your pet, I would follow their regular routine. I would care for them as though they are my own and make sure they are receiving the utmost care.

About: I have groomed dogs in the past, I am able to give medications if needed, and I have been around anxious/shy and more protective dogs. Currently I work from home and have 3 school aged kids. I have a generally have a pretty open schedule from about 8:30am-9pm with flexibility. I handle clients pets differently based on their pets personalities and specific needs while always making sure they are loved, safe, and properly cared for.

About: My family has always had some kind of pet. Especially a dog. Since I was little I was taking care of cats and dogs. As a teen I took care of guinea pigs and hamsters. Now I have my own pets, 2 dogs and 3 cats. I also help friends and family with theirs such as bathing, feeding, walking, etc. I am currently in school for dog training, my classes are Monday and Tuesday 5pm-8pm. I work part time plus two nanny gigs. But with that, I have time to walk, let out, feed, water, and check on your pet during those times I'm doing my nanny gig. I can be flexible and always work something out when I need to. At the moment I work mainly in the afternoon and in the summer my times will change. I will keep you posted. I can provide services among your home if you choose. In my home I have two dogs and 3 cats. With my training classes, I also study nutrition so I try my best to provide good food for my animals. In a client's home, I would appreciate a task/chore list or a list of anything you deem important so that I can provide the utmost care for your pet.

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.

About: I have had a dog for 8 years. This summer I volunteered at the Coles County animal shelter and decided this would be another great way to care for dogs. I’m off work by 3pm each day so I could care for your pet in the evening or anytime on the weekends. I could walk your dog or stop in to play with and feed them. I have references from two friends dogs that I have walked or checked on in their homes. I am also willing to provide character or regular work references.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies since I was a little girl. Now, I have two fur babies of my own that I absolutely love! If your doggo loves to go on walks, I’m your girl! I’ll be off work for September and half of October, so I’m able to walk your fur babies any time through the week and on most weekends. My boys love to go on several walks throughout the day. They have free reign of the house but I have a crate available if needed.
