Cat Sitting in Murphysboro

“Rachelle was absolutely wonderful with my two cats! From the start, she was professional, warm, and thoughtful — we even met in person at my workplace before the booking, which really put me at ease. She watched my cats for 3 days, visiting my apartment for an hour each day. She made sure they were fed their wet food, gave them plenty of cuddles and playtime, and sent tons of photos and detailed updates that I really appreciated. One of the most impressive things was how well she handled the dynamic between my two cats — they’re still in the early stages of their siblinghood and don’t always get along. Rachelle was very mindful of their boundaries and gave them both individual attention, which really helped keep the peace. I came home to two calm, happy cats, and I could tell they were well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Rachelle again. Highly recommended!”

“Elena is a great sitter we would recommend to anyone. She came over before we left for us to show her how to care for our cat which was really helpful. She sent pictures and updates regularly and you can tell she really cares about your pet. We are so glad to have Elena nearby and will for sure use her services again!”

“Kayla K. Was absolutely amazing with our pets! We were nervous at first because our dog weighs 100+ pounds and is super hyper. Kayla handled our Dog perfectly and he absolutely loves her. Her communication is beyond impressive, she’s was very respectful of our home and the list of rules we left, just overall a fantastic experience and she really put our minds at ease about leaving our babies in her care. When we need to go out of town again we will be booking Kayla K.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over a decade. I have fostered over 200 animals in my lifetime. I am known as the dog whisper in my old neighborhood. I feed, walk, bathe, and play with all animals and show them the love they deserve. I currently work Full-time Monday - Friday. However I always have time after work and on weekends to take care of your babies. Having 3 cats and 2 dogs of my own I understand the need of your babies being care for. I have a big backyard that is perfect for playing fetch and zoomed, I also have a fenced in area in my backyard that we let our non trained fur babies play in. I understand some friends enjoy their own home and the same services (such as baths, walks, playtime, and even feeding).

“Once again, Edie provided care for our cats while we were away. We trust that she will take care of them and it eases our minds to know she's there each day. She's a true animal lover!”

About: I’ve growing up around all types of animals my whole life. I’ve grown up around horses, cats, dogs, rabbits, chickens, and cows. Cats being on of my favorites to be around. I have a lot of experience on administering medications such as shots like insulin and oral medications. I am currently a college student but am fully online so my weeks and weekends are usually free for any time and day for anything. I have two friendly fixed female kittens of my own to play and keep your cats company and can always keep them separated if needed. I currently do not have a fenced yard.

“Amanda did a decent job for a long 2 week, 2 cat watching job for me. I will use her again if I need someone to watch my cats in the future. Try her services out for a day and just describe what you want / expect for the stop in visit. Then modify as needed. I never used rover before so the whole thing was new to me.”

About: I have had a dog since I was small, have always enjoyed animals and getting to see their different personalities. I was in 4H and FFA so I am use to all!

Just making sure I can do it on my own! I care for my personal pet by walking her, spending time with her, keeping her updated on all medical needs. I have her microchipped and a gps tracker on her collar because I would be lost without her!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I have experience with everything from playful puppies to seniors needing extra care and attention. I understand how important routines, patience, and love are when it comes to making pets feel safe and happy. Your pets will be treated like family in my care. I offer flexible boarding for pets who are comfortable hanging out at home during the day. I make sure everyone gets their energy out in the mornings, has a safe space while I’m at work, and then gets lots of love, potty breaks, and playtime in the evenings and on weekends. I treat every pet like family and make sure they’re safe and happy while you’re away. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or just a calm place to relax, I’ll make sure they’re cared for like one of my own.
