House Sitting Oakley

“This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous. Holly was amazing! We have 4 dogs and they can be a little overwhelming, but they all loved her. She kept in contact with us throughout the week and made sure not only our dogs were taken care of, but also our house. I would highly recommend Holly. We will definitely be using her services again.”

“Excellent sitter who is so kind and patient with our pups. She shares updates on status and made us, and our dogs feel at ease. Highly recommend her for house/pet sitting!”

About: First off I have owned dogs/cats since I was 8 and I’m a huge pet lover! I have 2 dogs and a cat which are all very loving and well socialized with all types of pets and people! My husband and I have been happily married since 2018 and have 2 children. I am a stay at home wife and mom and love to spoil all fur babies and give them lots of lovings. I’m a big walker and love a good game of fetch, tug of war, frisbee, or just running around with everyone! I have a reliable car so I’m offering at home sitting where I’ll take your pet out every hour if needed and play/take them on walks. I’m also available to just stop by to walk/play with your pet for any desired amount of time. I am completely open and offering doggy day camp where we will play, go for walks, and socialize with other pets and people. My biggest hit is overnight care so if you go on vacation, need a couple nights/days to yourself, emergencies... I’m available to keep your fur baby over night and for long periods of time no matter the circumstance. I do not require your pet be crate trained if I’m sitting at my house or during doggy day camp but if they stay over night I require they be crate trained or atleast potty trained. I’m completely open to sitting/caring for cats or other pets you may have except for reptiles. While your pets are with me I will be working on training them and perfecting manners with consistent treats and praising for good behavior. I’m very patient and love working with animals! I’m extremely flexible and don’t need much notice for thoes times you’re in a pinch! If you choose to leave your pet with me then I guarantee your pet will be well loved and treated with much respect and gentleness!! I am currently a stay at home mom and will have plenty of time to give your fur baby the attention and care they need. We live in a smoke free environment and have 2 dogs and a cat for your kiddos to play with. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I respect your personal space while taking care of your fur baby!

About: I’m a pet owner in Decatur offering weekday dog walks and drop-in visits for dogs and cats. If your pet needs a potty break, a meal, or some company while you’re at work, I’d love to help. Along with caring for my own pet, I help care for horses at 2 local ranches. I enjoy the everyday work that comes with caring for animals, including feeding, cleanup, exercise, and attention. I take time to learn your pet’s routine and personality, follow your care instructions, and send photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing. Morning visits: 7:30–10:30 a.m. Midday visits: Noon–4 p.m. Evening visits: 5–9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Overnight stays are accepted on a case-by-case basis. I take a limited number of bookings so I can give each pet consistent, attentive care. I prefer to care for pets in their home so routine and stress levels are kept consistent and low. I follow instructions closely, adjust to each pet’s needs, and prioritize safety. You can expect dependable communication and updates while you’re away.

“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 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.

“Christine did a wonderful job house sitting with our Poodles & Yorkies - & horses!!! She sent frequent pictures of everyone lounging on her lap or playing around the house! This was a last minute booking as our trip plans were suddenly changed & we were going out of the country! It was reassuring to have an experience, mature person caring for our special “kids”! Thank you, Christine!”

About: I have lived with dogs and cats my whole life since I was born with the dogs ranging in sizes from Chihuahuas to Rottweilers. I have volunteered at 2 different animal shelters since I was 15 years old as well as fostered both cats and dogs. I have experience in training young pets from working with my own over the years I work a flexible part-time schedule, meaning I am only away for a few hours at a time during the week. My schedule is completely open on weekends for boarding. Your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks! I live in a spacious apartment within a secure, gated community surrounded by walking trails. My home is a quiet, low-stress environment with just me and my roommate. As a professional caregiver for humans, I am highly experienced in following specific routine instructions and will treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect.

“Hailey was so great. She sent us multiple updates/photos while house sitting for us. I have dogs that can get pretty rowdy and she embraced them with such kindness. Can't thank her enough!”

“Heather always takes great care of our dog while we are away! She updates us on any & everything. We will always choose to rebook with her whenever she’s available!”

About: I have been raised around all sorts of pets ranging from hamsters to dogs of all ages. My parents always expected me to help take care of our dogs and it has always been my responsibility to take care of my own animals. I have also learned a lot about pet care and animal behavior through my own research! I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and living at home. I commute to and from school everyday and my weekends are usually free! I am happy to share my class schedule in order to make sure we are the right fit! I always make sure to meet your animals in a way that they feel comfortable prior to services in order to ensure everyone’s safety. I usually bring treats or a toy so they know I am someone they can trust! I also am able to accommodate to any needs for your pet whether it’s medicine, a specific diet, or if you are working on any specific training with them.

About: I am a proud mother of a 9yr old son and an 15 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.

“Mary Ann did an outstanding job caring for our cats. She spent quality time with them, provided frequent updates, and sent plenty of photos throughout our time away, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned home, it was obvious our cats had been genuinely loved and well cared for—not simply fed and left alone. They were happy, relaxed, and clearly received the attention and affection they needed. I highly recommend Mary Ann to anyone looking for a pet sitter who will care for their pets with the same love, dedication, and attention that an owner would.”

“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.”

About: I have been a proud dog owner my entire life, which has given me a deep, natural understanding of canine behavior and needs. Over the past 5 years, I have channeled that lifelong passion into dedicated pet care, managing everything from structured daily routines to specialized behavioral and medical needs. Raising my own dogs has taught me how to handle multi-dog dynamics, maintain precise feeding schedules, and provide a safe, loving environment. I pride myself on treating every guest pup with the exact same protective care and attention I give my own, ensuring you have total peace of mind. I work a consistent part-time schedule on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays until 4:00 PM. This leaves my Tuesdays, Thursdays, and entire weekends completely wide open for dedicated, full-time pet care! On my workdays, I am fully available for evening check-ins, walks, and overnight boarding. Because my routine is highly predictable, I can easily adapt to your dog's specific feeding, walking, and potty schedules to ensure they never miss a beat. Safety and total peace of mind are my top priorities. In my home, visiting pups receive active supervision and slow, controlled introductions with my two friendly German Shepherd mixes. In your home, I strictly honor your established routines, keeping feeding times, exercise habits, and home security checks precise so your pet feels completely safe, secure, and comfortable.
