“This is the second time we have had Misty cat sit for us while we’re away for vacation. She has been so amazing and loving to our Kitty. Definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!!”
About: All my life I’ve grown up with a variety of different pets, from cats named “Refrigerator”, an Iguana named “Dude-Man”, and your average Joe of a dog. During these years, I’ve learned that each dog, cat, and iguana has specific needs unlike any other of its kind - whether that’s extra love, time to be an introvert, or health care. I have skills to do basic trainings with dogs, as well as a strong skill in consistency to make sure your pet’s training you’ve worked so hard on continues to be worked for under my care. I’m a college student located at Indiana State University. I’m free nearly every evening and have a very flexible schedule to leave campus and ensure your pet can get the attention it deserves. I enjoy a written list of what your specific pet needs- just to make sure I hit every mark. I grew up with my grandmother, so I know how to respect a home!
About: Hello! My name is Ella! I am a student at EIU and a PCT and SBL ! I have worked as a dog sitter/walker for friends and family and even strangers that have heard through the grapevine! Now that I live here I’m just looking for some more connections and fur babies down here! I cannot wait to help you and your fur ball out! I have experience in cleaning up after them, walks, feedings, administering medications, and simple check ins! I am happy to also love on them and make sure they are happy and healthy! I work part time at Sarah Bush Hospital and am a Senior at EIU! Pet walking/sitting interests me because I want to grow connections down here, and make some extra cash on the side ! I plan to fill my off days with loving on your fur babies! I mainly plan to walk dogs and come to your home! I will clean up after your pup/kitty and house sit any other needs you may have! I also love walking and can handle any size dog (I may be tiny but I’m very mighty! I grew up with walking 3 of my neighbors Huskies!) I am here to try to tend to your needs the best I can!
“Myk'La is really nice and did a great job caring for my cat, including feeding, petting, giving meds, and litterbox cleaning. I definitely recommend her and will use her again if she is available to watch my pets.”
“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 been raised with all kinds of dogs since I was young, from Pomeranian to Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I'm familiar with puppy behaviors, as well as care for elderly dogs. My days off are Monday & Tuesdays to give me plenty of time to care and play with your pets in the early mornings to overnights. Otherwise I currently work in the community Thurs-Sun 8am-5pm with Wednesdays being 12-5, though I'm able to step away for any walks, drop-ins, or play times needed! Please reach out with any scheduling requests and I'll do my best to accommodate for you! I prefer crate trained pets, much like my own, but I'm comfortable being around free roam and cuddly buddies! If given enough time in advance, I would love to meet your pet beforehand to ensure a comfortable and informative visit for the both of us.
“Ayda stopped by to let my two boys out and sit with them for a bit while I had to work OT. She sent pictures and made sure they went potty before she left. She even brought in my packages from the porch that had been delivered earlier in the day.”
“Zohreh really went above and beyond with caring for my cat, and was very attentive to her needs. She was great with communication and shared plenty of pictures each visit which I always appreciate.”
“Madison was incredible! She watched my two older, very particular cats for nearly an entire week, and every time she checked in (with lots of photos!) I felt a huge wave of relief. She did everything she asked for and more! I would book Madison again in a heartbeat, and if you're looking for someone who is kind, compassionate, and goes the extra mile then you should book her!”
“Veronica did a great job taking care of my cats. Even my shy cat warmed up to her and would come play. Veronica also managed the removal of an injured mouse that my cats had caught - above and beyond the call of duty!”
“Milo is the best! There is no one our dogs love more!”
“Megan was on time and sent photos to keep me updated! Would book again”
“Carli did another great job with our dogs and cat while we were on a weekend trip! She made sure to give them plenty of time to run and play with every visit, and they love her company. She continues to be our go-to!”
“My cat Harley was in a great mood and was extremely soft when we got home (which means he was getting his pets). He loves Asia she always does a good job.”
“Kate was awesome. And Raven (the Diva) really liked her too. The jury is still out with Dobby, lol. I will definitely be hiring her again! ?”
About: Ive been around dogs a lot. I have 3 of my own. One named Hope. She’s more active, and needs alot of playtime. So I’m definitely good at managing that.

So your pups/cats will get my undivided attention with all the love and care they need! I have an apartment with no pets, so it'll just be me and your furbabies. My apartment does offer pet friendly areas for dogs to be taken out to or cats that are outdoorsy. I do take pets out for routine walks and potty breaks, but I'll follow whatever routine you have in place already if need be.

“Mia took care of my dog that I rescued so I didn’t want him alone. He was very skittish and sky and Mia got him to come out of his shell just by talking to him and moving slow with him. I will forever for as long as I have my sweet boy allow her to care for him. And recommend her to others!”
