About: Nothing is too good for our pets. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for my pets. You can bet, I’ll do the same for yours! Dogs are my specialty but I love them all. I’m currently earning my Dog Obedience Certification from Animal Behavior College. I’m almost finished with school! I currently hold six certifications, including dog walking, pet first aid/CPR, and pet nutrition. My final certification will be in obedience. I’m happy to do whatever your pet needs and what you’re comfortable with. Let them out mid-day, clean up litter boxes, or refill food and water bottles for animals in tanks and cages. I have a little experience with giving some types of medications as well. I’ll throw a ball for your dog, dangle a string for your cat, and help your fish get unstuck from behind the filter.

“Brittney is fantastic! We are extremely happy with the care our pup received while we were out of town. Brittney is so accommodating & made the entire experience go smoothly.”

“Kristen was amazing. She was responsive, showed up on time and stayed for the amount of time booked, and did everything I asked of her. Most importantly she played and snuggled with my dogs and made me feel so much better about being away!! Additionally my flight back was delayed and she was flexible about making an extra visit to help me out with unexpected travel. If you need a sitter for your babies I highly recommend Kristen!”

About: I have experience working with a variety of animals, including exotic species. I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I have a cat of my own and also dog-sit for family members on occasion. I’m passionate about providing safe and loving care for every pet. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the care they deserve. I am available for walks and drop-ins throughout the week and on weekends. I understand that a consistent schedule is important for all animals. I am happy to maintain your typical routine for feeding and daily activities that you have established with your pet. For social pets, supervised playtime with the family dog can also be arranged if desired. Please let me know your preferences regarding interactions with other dogs or cats.

About: I've had pets my whole life, from birds, reptiles, and fish to dogs, cats and rodents, so I know my way around various pets and how to take care of them, as such any special needs won't be too far out of my expertise. When it comes to dogs I've taken two puppies of mine to training classes and am willing to work with whatever training you have in place with your dog, whether that is working on correcting behaviors like jumping or continuing to teach them certain tricks while you're away, I will try my best to make sure they stay on the right track! Cats are the kind of pet I've had for the longest and know the best, even though none of mine so far have been major trouble makers I know how fickle some can be. I'm not afraid to do the occasional litterbox clean if needed or to keep an eye on them during their occasional zoomies. Currently my schedule is pretty flexible, I'm available any day from noon to midnight so if you need someone to check in on your pet overnight I'm available! I'm willing to work with any dietary needs and/or restrictions your pet has and as I've given medications to my pets before I would be able to give your pet any if they needed it during my visit. I'm big into teaching my dogs how to be respectful on a walk so I would be willing to continue any on walk training you may have!

“Heather has been great to work with. She has been so understanding of the changes we have had for the weekend. She is great with our boys! Definitely recommend her.”

About: I provide calm, consistent care for dogs and cats so they can stay relaxed and comfortable while you’re away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your animal is safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. I also have current experience caring for larger animals (including horses), and have the ability to read body language and handle animals calmly and confidently. You can expect regular updates, and thoughtful care while your pet is with me. I also have experience as a pet and horse photographer, so I naturally capture calm, genuine moments to share while you’re away. I prioritize routine with your pet, so I take a limited number of bookings at a time. Morning: 7:30–10:30 AM Midday: 12–4 PM Evening: 5–9 PM (Friday and Saturday only) Overnight stays are considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on scheduling and your pet’s specific needs. I prefer to care for pets in their home so routine and stress levels are kept consistent and low. I follow instructions closely, adjust to each pet’s needs, and prioritize safety. You can expect dependable communication and updates while you’re away.

“I liked working with Chloe, she’s super nice and kind. We were able to communicate well and adjust accordingly due to my work schedule changing. She was punctual and my pups liked having her ☺️. I will definitely reach out again in the future. Thank you Chloe”

“We really loved having Heidi to help out with our pups! This was our first time using Rover, so it was a little new for us. Heidi was super accommodating with great communication and reliability even when we needed to add last minute drop-ins. She went above and beyond in taking care of our pups and we couldn't ask for a better first experience. We will definitely be checking Heidi's availability the next time we plan a trip out of town!”

Erik C.

“Heather was great with little Baxter. Heather and I were able to meet prior to the sitting date. I felt very comfortable with Heather being in our home and caring for Baxter. I would highly recommend Heather. I will be using her again in the near future”

About: I have had fur pets since I was 4 years old. I love cats and dogs! I have experience feeding, bathing, walking, clipping nails (cats), bottle feeding and giving all the pets they need! Pets are a part of the family to me. I have 2 cats and 1 dog and they all sleep with me at night. I’ll take good care of your fur baby too. I am a mom to both human and fur babies so pet care is a daily routine naturally for me. My work schedule is pretty flexible which would allow me to visit your pet a few times a day. I will follow your rules for your pet to the best of my abilities. I am familiar with feeding dry food and canned food to both cats and dogs. I enjoy playing fetch and giving good scratches to your furry friends!

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Friends and family call on me to watch their animals because I am so good natured with them and love teaching trucks and giving baths I currently do not work so I would be available to e other take of your dog during the day in your home or for overnight any day of week I would follow instructions of the pets owner on how they wish their pet to follow the same routine they do on a daily basis

About: I’ve been a pet owner since I was 19. I have experience giving medication with my own dogs and worked at a dog boarding place in the past. I promise to love on your dog like they are my own. I work full time Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 5 pm. I’m free most weekends. I’m able to come check on a dog before work and after work. I could possibly go on my lunch break around 1 pm if not too far from my house. Right now I’m not offering services in my house because I have an older dog with vision and health issues. She is more of a people loving dog! At the clients house I will make sure your dog gets plenty of affection and play time. I will try my best to keep them on their normal schedule with potty breaks and meal times. Please make sure to tell me all your dogs favorite things!

About: Hi, my name is Madison. I'm certainly training to be a vet tech and work around animals everyday. I've loved caring for animals since I was young. I've pet sitted domestic,exotic,and farm animals . I'd love to meet your animals and help you out with their overall well being! I am certainly working at a animal clinic so I do work a 9 to 5 job. But I can take care of animals in early mornings before work, after work, and night care/possibly over night care. On Wednesdays I have more time to be a tad more flexible for more hours as well as weekends. I don't pet sit at my house. But I will most definitely pet sit at the clients house and depending on what they prefer I can stay over at their house for over night care.

About: I have been an animal lover since I was a kid. Rescuing chickens, rabbits, cats, horses - you name it! In my adult life, I took some time away from pets while obtaining my Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry. The first thing I did after relocating to Decatur, IL for my job, was adopt an unwanted adult shelter cat that resided at Animal Control for months, Spider. He is still with me - 11 years later. I have learned the reasons why Spider was surrendered. It inspired me to get involved with animal rescue in the community. I have adopted and fostered puppies, dogs, kittens, and cats. I have probably dealt with nearly every type of cat or most cat disabilities at this point - and if not, am extremely willing and able to learn. My feline resume includes sight and hearing impaired, sick, diabetes, incontinence, behavioral issues, MORE... I am a huge believer of positive reinforcement training for dogs. If you follow dominance training or negative reprimanding, we will not get along. I have taken two doggos through AKC CGC certification awards and other courses. My personal dog, Timber, suffers from several health issues including hypertension - which caused enucleation of both eyes; chronic rhinitis; and gingival hyperplasia. I am very used to paying attention to the subtle signs of dogs when medical issues arise. Currently, i am working from home, but transitioning back to in-person office work soon. When I return back to work, my schedule does offer a lunch break and reasonable flexibility. Interestingly, all of my puppy fostering has been pre-COVID/work-from-home! My home offers a fenced-in yard. We always walk pets on-leash. In side the home, we have options for crating and our home has several doors to close off rooms to create separate safe spaces, if needed. We also have several baby gates. Crating is very useful for at least feeding times. Our resident dog, Timber, eats in his crate, and he is trained to go there if he gets stressed - even though he is blind. I can often watch cats here in a spare room. Although, I do think cats are happiest at their homes with daily visits, if an option. In a client home, I would like to try to stick the schedule the pets are used to. Arranging a visit to understand the home layout, where things are kept, and meeting the pets are very important to me. I am happy to arrange multiple visits or stay at the house, depending on the needs of the clients and pet(s).

About: I have plenty of experience with animals and I care deeply for every one. I had a job at a dog daycare over the summer and took care of 60+ dogs at once. This included taking them outside, feeding, water, cleaning kennels, giving medication, and taking care of the cat room. I have plans to study to be a veterinary technician in college after high school and have been shadowing at a veterinary clinic for 1.5 years. I've learned to give and prepare vaccinations, fill and give prescription medications, how to care for dogs after surgery, minor fist aid and more. I'm in the heartland technical program at Richland community College and currently studying veterinary science as well as finishing my last year of high school. I've had many pets currently and in the past including: four dogs, a cat, turtles, tortoises, rats, gerbils, fish, crabs, ducks, Lizards, and water frogs. I ride horses and have minor experience with larger animals. I am around animals constantly and feel confident in my ability to animal sit cats or dogs. I am a student with a part-time job as a server. I am free morning and night to do drop ins during the week and free longer on the weekends in the mornings. I have no problem following a list you have made and making sure everything that needs to be done is completed. I can give medications and lift dogs if necessary. If there is something more specific you're not sure I can do feel free to ask.
