“Zamyria did awesome! She really helped me out and was able to book with me last minute on the day of my trip. She communicated greatly and sent me so many pictures of my pup. She was so great I booked her again before the end of this first sit. Thank you Zamyria!”


“I cannot say enough good things about Tawny! She went above and beyond while caring for my dogs and home. Taking care of multiple large-breed dogs is no small task, but she handled everything with professionalism, patience, and so much love. My dogs were happy, well-cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. Not only did she ensure their routines were followed perfectly—including feeding, exercise, and playtime—but she also took the time to give them the extra attention and affection they need. She kept me updated with messages, pictures, and videos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. On top of caring for my dogs, Tawny also looked after my home as if it were her own. Everything was spotless when I returned, and I could tell she had gone the extra mile to keep things in order. If you’re looking for a responsible, kind, and truly dedicated pet sitter, I wholeheartedly recommend Tawny. She is a gem, and I will absolutely be booking her again in the future!”


About: I’m 24 years old and recently graduated with a Bachelor’s in Science in May 2023. My love for animals began in my childhood, I always loved pretending to be a veterinarian and I plan on becoming one sometime in the future. Ive had pets as long as I can remember whether it was a dog or a cat. In high school, I was actively involved in FFA, which further fueled my passion for animal care. I have experience caring for a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, sugar gliders, ferrets, along with many others. I also interned at a wildlife rehab center in college, where I gained valuable experience working with wildlife animals. I am a dedicated and organized person, currently working as a vet assistant at a veterinary hospital. This experience allows me to handle senior animals and help with any medical needs your furry babies may have. My diverse background has equipped me with the skills to provide loving and attentive care to all kinds of pets! I am a full-time vet assistant working at a veterinary animal hospital, typically not available from 7:30 AM to 6 PM on weekdays. While I usually have weekends off, there may be occasions when I have a weekend shift, and I will inform clients in advance. Additionally, I can accommodate clients' pets by fitting in time before and after my work hours. I am committed to providing flexible and reliable care for your pets while balancing my professional responsibilities. Thank you for understanding my schedule! Caring for people's pets is a true passion of mine. I love spending time with all animals and consider them to be like family. Working at a veterinary animal hospital allows me to connect with various pets, and I always make it a priority to give each patient the love and attention they deserve while they are away from their families. Im also good with any emergency situations as my work environment deals with after hours emergencies too!~ To ensure that each pet feels comfortable and engaged, I enjoy spending quality time with them by watching movies, taking them out for walks, or even playing fetch. I believe that every pet needs companionship, care, and understanding. My goal is to create a nurturing environment where pets feel loved and valued, making their experience as enjoyable as possible.

“OMG! Gloria was the BEST pet and housesitter ever! 🤩🐶 Our pups and babies were so well taken care of while we were away. She sent us DAILY updates and pictures! We highly recommend her for her professionalism, trustworthiness, and love of animals! 💯❤️ We will definitely use her again!”


About: I don’t remember a time in my life when i didn’t have a pet and i’ve always been so natural at caring for and loving them. Rescue animals are my suit so training is a skill i have required I currently work a part time job and attend college however that only takes up my day until about 1 PM on weekdays, so i have a lot of time to work around that set schedule to care for your pets! i can cater to any needs of your fur baby such as walking, letting out, crating, or anything else (in addition to having fun) i have a lot of experience.

About: I treat every pet like my own. I have experience with puppies who need training, senior pets who need extra care, and cats with all kinds of personalities; from shy to super social. I’m great at reading what each pet needs, whether it’s playtime, snuggles, space, or meds. You can count on me to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away I work from home with open availability. With that being said, I am here when and wherever you need me for your fur baby ! I have a huge yard and a big enough home to accommodate your fur baby, of any size! I also have 2 young children who absolutely adore animals but can always separate if need be!

“Savannah watched our 2 pups at our hotel so we could be responsible guests and have a piece of mind knowing they were in excellent care while we hiked in the park. First she is incredibly responsive with each communication. And she was willing to commit to watching our dogs 5 mos before our trip to Zion. I highly recommend Savannah for your fur babies care.”


“I entrusted Maranda to watch my 2 German Shepherds, 1 Pug and 1 Maine Coon for 9 days and she did not disappoint! All my fur kids are huge babies and require A LOT of attention and Maranda provided that. She took excellent care of them. My male Shepherd receives medication twice a day and she was able to give him his medication. She is very clean and cleaned up after herself which I am very grateful for. I definitely recommend her to pet sit in your home and I will definitely book her again!”


About: I've been taking care of pets since I was 5, and I've always made sure they felt safe and loved around me. All animals get kisses and pets around me. I am currently in-between jobs so I will have large availability in comparison to others, and I can give the amount of attention your fur baby needs. I have a large fenced in yard for dogs to run around in, and a two story house so if your baby needs an entire bedroom or floor to themselves I have the space. I also have 3 cats who like to make new friends.

About: I've grown up with a yorkie (family dog). Within the last year I adopted a dog of my own. He's a black lab/australian shepherd mix who has become my best friend. He's unfortunately living with my parents for the summer which is why I'm hoping to hangout with some furry friends! I'm currently in Peoria to train and play soccer! I'm hoping to start a part-time job soon, but I'd love to hangout with some pets and help out some owners in the meantime! I cannot care for pets at my apartment because it does not allow pets, but I am open to other options! I love going on walks and staying active!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a kid. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe and love their pets as my own. Currently I am working remotely so my schedule is pretty open! I love a days notice but I also understand life happens and last minute emergencies pop up! Feel free to message me whenever :) I should be a stay at home fur baby mom. I will take care of your animal as if it’s my own. I will send pictures and updates to you if wanted

About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes as well as 8 years professionally training dogs of all shapes, sizes, breeds and temperaments. I train basic and advanced obedience, working dogs, service animals and more. I am confident and comfortable caring for dogs that otherwise might be difficult for others without experience in the behavioral field, while keeping safety at the forefront of every interaction. Additionally, I have 5 years of vet tech experience, giving me the ability and willingness to care for pets with medical problems, senior pets, pets requiring medication or pets with special needs. I have owned and cared for farm animals for much of my teenage and adult life, allowing me to offer care for pets outside of the home such as bovine, horses, goats, pigs and chickens. I am comfortable with birds, reptiles and exotic pets, having raised rabbits most of my life as well as owning guinea pigs, snakes, sugar gliders and a quaker parrot. I am CPR certified and have attended several emergency care courses for cats and dogs. My passion has led me to providing pet care and dog training services full-time, allowing for me to provide services for you and your pets year-round! I provide pet care and training services full time, year-round! I am available for last minute requests and can handle care for pets with special needs or behavioral problems- keeping safety for both parties as a priority. My home is set up for the care of pets. I have several rooms for dogs of different temperaments and preferences as well as multiple fenced in yards to allow for play times and potty times in small groups or individually as needed. In the summertime, morning bathroom breaks are longer to allow for plenty of playtime before it gets too hot outside. We provide at LEAST 4 bathroom breaks throughout the day. During peak heat hours, outside breaks are shorter. Once things cool off in the evening, I provide another longer playtime outside. Not every dog cares for or does well with other dogs so temperament testing will be done before they are free to play with the others. All dogs are supervised when out at all times. Dogs in my home will be kenneled for bedtime or if I need to run a short errand (groceries, doctor appointment, private training lesson with a client, etc.) Care in the client's home will be discussed before the job starts. Everybody has different preferences and I strive to provide the best care possible for pets while owners are away!
