House Sitting in Mount Zion

About: Ever since I remember, I’ve had a dog. Life without a dog is so boring. There’s no true love more than the three dogs that I have of my own. I currently work from home with my three dogs so they are never left alone and all they’ve ever known as love. I’ve spent a lot of time working with them to make sure that they are well behaved while I’m not trained in many aspects of dog care I’m more than happy to help you out when you’re in need! I’m free before most work days, during lunch hours, as well as, after work hours and most weekends! Reach out to me if there is a time that you may need additional care for your pet. I’m very flexible. The three dogs I have at home are well cared for and loved every day. My standard poodle, Romeo went through a very tough time the summer of 2024. I was unsure how his life would end up and what was really going on with him, he was a completely healthy dog and something changed him medically at the time I could not run the test that were needed so I am still unsure, but I have nursed him back to full health and he is still here with me!

“Jayda was wonderful! She was very responsive and communicative and made sure to keep me updated while I was out of town. She went above and beyond to take my dog for walks when she didn’t have to, and even made the trip over to check on my pets while dealing with a snowstorm. She also checked once the booking was over to make sure I’d made it home and that my pets weren’t still alone, offering to stop by if needed, even though it wouldn’t have been a paid visit. She really cares and made my trip so much less stressful to know my pets were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and appreciate her so much!”

“Very positive experience with Ashley. She was available short notice and took very good care of my two pups. Our younger is a bit anxious and warmed up to Ashley quickly!”

About: I have a lot of pet care experience from pet sitting, drop-ins, caring for medical disabled dog, pet walking. I am ready to love your pet like it’s my own and let you relax knowing your baby is in the best hands! I love to send pic updates of your pet and I playing and having fun! I have watched family members pets, neighbors pets and people I just met through referral. I am also happy to bathe your pet if requested. I had a 165lb Rottweiler, so now it seems like I can do anything! :) I work remotely and can take my work anywhere! Need me at your house during the day? I can do that as long as you can share your Wi-Fi with me! :) I have plenty of time to look after your pet and I am so excited to meet them! I am able to crate your dog safely if needed and request by you. I also will ensure when we go on walks that your pet is away from other pets to avoid any form of conflict.

“Brooklyn did a great job the my fur babies. I feel very comfortable leaving them with her again and again . Thank you so much for taking great care of my babies.”

About: I have taken care of just about any animal you can think of. I was a veterinary assistant for 4 years. I am 25 years old and currently finishing my bachelor’s degree online at SIUE. I am a teaching assistant for the local school district now! However, I really miss seeing pets all the time so I would love to pet sit for you! I have my own fur babies but I love to meet new pets and build connections with them as well as their owners! I am currently working part time as a nanny and looking to add more pet sitting clients to my workload! I am in college and trying to save money for my future and pet sitting is a very flexible way for me to do that, plus I enjoy it so much! I always love to spend quality time with the animals I am caring for, it helps them to become more comfortable and makes it more enjoyable for me as well! I like to learn the little things that each pet I take care of likes most and use that to bring them comfort and joy while I am caring for them!

“Very good with both dogs. Specially with vanilla and giving her the attention she needs. Playing with Bean outside and making sure they got feed twice a day with a treat too”

About: I have a 9 year old dog I rescued back in 2019, and 2 cats I rescued about 2 years ago. I also have chickens! I’m a big animal lover, I’m not comfortable until I know all of my animals are fed and happy. I’m currently working part time so I am available most days, I have a very flexible schedule. I can most likely make time when I’m needed. I have plenty of dog toys, a harness and leash for dog walking as well as bags for picking up poop. I constantly have a full supply of dog and cat treats. I’m responsible with my pets and never let them leave my sight, and I would do the same with yours, I know how scary it is to have someone else with them and know what it takes to keep them safe and happy!

About: I have worked with just about every type of animal. I worked as a veterinary assistant for five years and fostered for 10+ years. I have always loved animals and always go above and beyond for my furbabies. I often foster animals in need, as well as adopt animals in need. I honestly just have so much love and compassion to give out to all animals. I cant wait to meet your fur babies and get to know them better! Let me know if you have any questions! I am free most days with the ability to tend to your furbaby's needs whenever works best for you, as I am currently self employed and create my own schedule. I have a fenced in yard with lots of toys and room to run. I spend 2-3 hours outside (depending on the weather) with the pups playing fetch or other games.

“JEremiah could not have been more attentive to updating us continuously. We will more than happy and feel confident that our dog will be well care for in the future.”

About: Got my first puppy when I was 17. Have always had a pet since that day. I cannot imagine life without a fur friend. I’ll treat yours, as mine. I work from home so I’m always available for the needs of your pet. My work breaks often consist of engaging with pets to provide a burst of dopamine for me and them! Have a moderately sized backyard that is completely fenced in. My two bedroom house is not huge, but it is clean and spacious to provide ample room for indoor activities.

“Heather was willing to house sit for us during the crazy weather and was flexible when we lost power for awhile. We were so appreciative to have her watching our pups while we were out of town. They were well cared for and happy when we got home!”

“Ben did a great job House sitting with our two pups for a long weekend. He sent lots of photos to let us see how they were doing and they were happy and healthy upon our return. And the house was exactly as we left it. We’ll definitely use Ben again when we travel!”

About: I am a proud mother of a 4yr old son and an 10 yr old daughter.. My daughter is usually at school for most of the day. However, caring for both full time I have come to notice animals stimulate both kids and teach them respect, responsibility and routine. We are excited to em"bark" on this new chapter in life and cant wait to start. Together, I believe all 3 of my family unit would not only love, but sincerely enjoy even the smallest and largest pets while their 'parents' are away or just need some attention. With summer upon us - my schedule (and helping hands) have become more flexible. Currently, I am available every day from 6am to 7pm. Holidays, weekends, and every day that ends in "Y"! With respect to the pet , clients home, and specific care needs, I try to always keep an open mind and heart but keeping respect in the foreground.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I treat every pup like family—not just a pet to check in on. From extra belly rubs and goofy playtime to patient care for shy or senior dogs, I make sure each furry friend feels safe, loved, and truly at home. My goal isn’t just to meet their needs, but to keep those tails wagging and give you total peace of mind while you’re away Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I schedule my day around visits and walks, making sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Whether it’s morning check-ins, midday playtime, or evening walks, I keep a consistent routine so pets feel secure and cared for. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I love and prioritize every day I provide more than just pet sitting—I offer dependable, loving care that gives you peace of mind and keeps your dog feeling happy and secure. I take time to understand each dog’s unique personality, routine, and needs, so they’re not only cared for but truly comforted while you’re away. With me, your pup is treated like family. I also have one dog (cane Corso) who is wonderful around other dogs and well trained.

About: I’ve worked as a vet tech for two years, caring for animals of all kinds — from large dogs to tiny exotics! I helped with boarding, feeding, walking, baths, and giving medications, so I’m very comfortable handling pets with different needs. I’ve had dogs my whole life, and I truly love making them feel happy and safe while their owners are away. 😁🤎 I work full time, but my schedule allows plenty of time for pet care — I’m off Mondays and weekends, available after 5 PM on weekdays, and after 2 PM on Fridays. I don’t have any pets of my own right now, so I’d love to fill that space in my life by spending time with other people’s furry friends! I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s specific routine — including feeding, walks, medication, and playtime — and always pay attention to their behavior and needs. My vet tech experience helps me notice small details that keep pets healthy and happy.

“Madie was amazing. We had a last minute conflict with our dog sitter and she came to the rescue. It was our first time using someone who was not family watching her. She came to our house on Thanksgiving to do a meet and greet which greatly decreased our hesitation about using someone else to watch our fur baby. Madie went above and beyond what we could have asked for. She was professional and extremely kind. She cared for Stella as if she were her own. We will definitely be using her again! Cannot recommend her enough.”
