We couldn't be more grateful for the amazing care our pets received! Not only was she incredibly sweet and caring, but she also handled an unexpected emergency. Her quick think and clear communication made all the difference. We came home to happy dogs.

We’ve loved continually working with Nicole! As does our puppy. Even as our dog grows and adapts and develops new behaviors, Nicole is super accommodating with his personality + very diligent on updates! Thanks as always!

In addition if Jennifer had any questions or concerns she was not hesitate to contact me to clarify what was needed for LuLu. Job well done.

She sent me the best, cutest pictures of little Stella Bean and kept me updated through the night and morning! Definitely an amazing experience overall!

Anastasia did an excellent job taking care of my dog and my house while I was away. Buster lived his best life with walks twice a day and daily brushing and scheduled tummy rub time… I’m sure he misses Anastasia. The house was in perfect condition when I got home I would hire Anastasia again in a heart beat, and recommend her highly.

Jolee did a great job watching our two large dogs while we were gone. Our lab can be a bit slow to warm up with new people and she handled him super well and communicated with us consistently. We loved the pics she sent! Would definitely rebook :)

CLAIRE was a 100/10!! Her care of our dog was absolutely amazing! He usually is very nervous and gets upset when we are away and he was so comfortable with her the entire time we were gone. It made our vacation 1000 times more relaxing. We can’t thank her enough!

Erin is amazing. We met her for a meet and greet and then she just watched our dog overnight. She is so friendly and nice and our dog immediately loved her. She checked in and sent photos while we were away and updated us when she left. Our house was spotless when we got home and our dog was happy. We will be booking Erin whenever she is available!

About: I have years of experience in farm sitting. All of high school I dog sat for many people in my hometown. My family has much experience in the dog world, they used to be breeders of hunting dogs. I am currently a student at CSU and have a lot of free time outside of class, so this job is a perfect fit. I have plenty of time to stay overnight and care for the dog, but I am coming home to Peoria for the summer! I have three dogs at home that are my life. I can easily take dogs for walks, crate them, give medications, and etc. My grandparents used to breed hunting dogs, so I have been around all kinds of dogs my whole life.

About: I have been taking care of my pets on my own since I was 14 years old. My boyfriend and I currently have a 5 year old boxer/pit bull mix, a 2 year old yellow lab, a 2 year old grey short haired cat, and a 6 month old black and white short haired kitten. I have been surrounded by pets of all kind since a young age including ferrets, rabbits, cats, dogs, bearded dragons, and more! I also have my own service dog so I am highly trained in commanding dogs who are well trained. I currently work full time at a school as a 1:1 for students with autism and behavioral issues. I work 8am-3pm M-F and am free outside of those hours :) I try my hardest to cater the care that I give to your pet based on your needs. Communication is key as it helps me better care for your pet.

About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have two cats and two dogs, but have had other animals in the past. I have taken care of animals in every way including a special needs cat who had diabetes, he needed insulin injections and blood sugar checks. I am a full time student at ISU. I have a very flexible schedule as I have at most two classes on two days of the week, one class two days of the week, and no classes the rest of the time. I have had cats most of my life, and am very accustomed to playing with cats, feeding schedules, litter cleanup, brushing, and nail clipping. I am very patient with a cat’s personality as I have rescued a mama cat and her kittens, and understand it can take some time for a kitty to get comfortable with new people or environment.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid and have had dogs in my family since I was six years old, so taking care of pets has always been a normal part of my life. Over the years, I’ve become the go-to pet sitter in my neighborhood and have handled up to five animals at a time, including both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cleaning up, and giving medications when needed. I’ve also taken care of puppies, including handling a full week of puppy care on my own, so I understand the extra patience and attention they need. I treat every pet like it’s my own, take responsibility seriously, and make sure owners can relax knowing their animals are safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention. Pet care fits naturally into my routine and is something I genuinely enjoy making time for. I work full-time from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, but I’m available after work every day for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m also able to do overnight stays as long as they fit into my schedule. I plan my days around responsibilities and commitments, and when I’m caring for someone’s pet, they become a real priority—not an afterthought. I enjoy building my routine around animals and making sure they get attention, exercise, and consistent care. I take trust and safety very seriously because I know pets are family. I carefully follow all instructions, whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, or house rules. I always keep a close eye on each pet’s behavior and needs and make sure they’re in a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I’m careful about doors, gates, and home security, and I never take unnecessary risks. I also send photos and updates during each visit or stay so owners can see their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet like my own, and my goal is always for owners to feel completely comfortable and stress-free while they’re away.

I can’t say enough great things about Carol! I liked her immediately as she is super sweet, professional, reliable, and responsive. She did a great job caring for Wrigley and our home. She stayed in great communication with us by daily notes and adorable pictures and made sure he got his food and medication. Carol will shower your pet with lots of care and affection and treat them as they were her own. I highly recommend booking with Carol if you want someone taking care of your pet that you can trust. I highly recommend Carol for anyone looking for an amazing sitter! We loved Carol and I already plan to use her for future trips! Thanks again!!
