House Sitting in O'Fallon

“Theresa is an outstanding dog sitter. The dogs love her so much, and she is wonderful interacting with them. She even tidied up the main floor of our house, which is above and beyond. She will definitely be my future number one choice.”

Lance L.

“Emily is the perfect pet and house sitter! She updated us every day multiple times a day. She followed my written instructions with no problem. She gave our pets so much love and attention…. Even more than we do probably. She gave our scared pittie special attention during thunderstorms and fireworks. She handled our blind Aussie like it was nothing. Our pets looked so happy the entire week in the many photos we received…and our house was exactly the way we left it upon our return. I just can’t say enough good things and we cannot wait to have her back!”

“Amber took great care of my senior cat. He takes medicine 3 times a day and she was ON it. I came home to a calm, happy kitty. She communicated, sent pictures, and was just a great care provider!”

Rachael B.

“We felt so comfortable leaving our furry baby with Abbey!! He took to her right away and she took such great care of him! Definitely recommend her!”

Catrin W.

“Tanner was calm, thoughtful, and resourceful. He was just perfect for our anxious dog.”

About: I've been taking care of dogs my entire life. My father bred labradors, and I've been sitting for my grandparents for the last 15 or so years. I recently started sitting for a friend and have decided to make it a steady source of income I'm an artist that wants to use dog sitting and walking to have a steady flexible income that allows me to be creative in my personal life. Our pitbull Stella gets the best that we can provide her. As a genuine dog lover, I will provide the best care that is in my ability to provide in your home.

About: (I prefer to go by Rori) Before my kennel experience, I have watched over many neighbors dogs over the years! They bring me so much joy, having a dog in my life is a must! And, if I cannot have one myself, at least I can bring joy into another’s dogs lives while their owner is gone!!! Having worked at a boarding kennel and rescue for nearly 2 years now, I have spent a large amount of my pet care experience dealing with dogs at their most vulnerable. Because of this, I am very familiar with how to comfort and care for many different dog temperaments and breeds! I know how to respect their boundaries and keep your pets at as much ease as I can bring them :) Because of my boarding experience, I have worked with puppies under a year old, and senior dogs of all kinds of breeds. I understand how to accommodate and console older dogs: with lots of love and patience. I have encountered dogs who are aggressive in many forms: from people and/or dog aggressive to barrier and fence aggressive. I’ve handled dogs that react to nerves in various manners whether it be scared and cowering or more disagreeable. While I do not anticipate this behavior to be as extreme as what I saw in a kennel environment (where everything is new and abnormal) I do think this experience allows me to be adept at handling dogs through all their stages and kinds of discomfort. While at the kennel, I was also tasked with caring for our rescues. Housing 5-10 rescues at a time, I became very familiar with how to care for and bond with so many dogs. Taking the time to truly know and understand these rescues is my absolute favorite thing about working at the kennel! I have trained these dogs and made a point of learning how to handle even the most difficult of our rescues!! Socializing these dogs, helping them find peace and consistency in an otherwise chaotic environment fills me with purpose. I love them. I have so much love for these animals that I can’t possibly contain it!!! So, I would like to share it :) Having just moved to Illinois, I am available and willing to work anytime on weekdays until 4 PM to walk, watch and play with your fur babies!! I can work weekends sometimes :) I LOVE walking dogs!!! I’m happy to take them with me on walks in my neighborhood, your neighborhood, or to various parks!! Feeding, playing, and engaging with these sweet animals is something I am more than familiar with doing having taken care of the kennel dogs for so long now.

“Lark stayed for a week at our home and was so caring of our furry baby Kevin. Kevin's not always predictable and they made good friends with loving belly rubs, etc. She shared pictured throughout the week. We will definitely be calling her back to see if she can stay again when we plan our next trip! Thank you so very much!”

“Carter didn't even look like he was in my house, lol left it as I left it. Batman seemed happy and content. Will definitely use again”

Robin R.

“Madison did an amazing job taking care of our boys while we were out of town. We definitely recommend and will ask her to watch them again when we go out of town.”

Lance W.

“Taylor was very loving towards my girls and communicated very well while she stayed with my girls! 3 dogs can be overwhelming but she embraced it and I came home to happy girls after my trip!”

Samantha M.

“Sterling took excellent care of all of my girls and my house while I was out of town. He sent me updates so I did not have to worry. Thank you so much!”

Lesley M.

“Ashley was fantastic and took great care of our Chewy! She walked him, snuggled with him and played with him! Will definitely use her again!”

Catrin W.

“Nickali was fantastic with the dogs. We had never left them with someone before. The dogs were happy to see us, but were just as content with Nickali. It was a huge relief. The fact that he sent us pictures also helped. We will use him again.”

I pay PLENTY attention to them as well. I have expierence of taking care of dogs of ANY age being Ive had these two since pups. I used to dog sit up North in New Jersey area and I absolutely loved it! I enjoy spending quality time with dogs whether it be playing outside, going for a walk, or just relaxing together. I do believe in getting your dog outside activity to keep them healthy and fit as well. I also accept any reasonable pay, not just what's on my profile. I have flexible schedule and Id be more than happy to try and work around this to provide a service both you and youre beloved pet will enjoy! I now have a corgi, who is an angel. An angel who requires LOTS of exercise. I let him run freely and take him on LONG walks to help tire him out as well as engaging in fun activities such as fetch!

About: I am a student at the University of Illinois majoring in English and History. I've been taking care of pets in my O'Fallon neighborhood for 10+ years, including walking, feeding, letting outside, administering medication, and cleaning up messes. I also have experience caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and fish! I enjoy playing outside and caring for pets as if they were my own! I am a college student working part time at Scooter's Coffee, so I have lots of time to take care of your pets while I'm home for the summer! I am available pretty much any time of day outside of my barista shifts. I am a very organized and respectful person when it comes to being in someone else's space. I have experience caring for pets in someone else's home and making sure the space stays clean. I will be extremely mindful of the areas I am allowed and what I must do to keep your home and pets safe.

“I can not say enough positive things about Samantha! She took care of our two large dogs and one elderly cat while staying at the house. When we returned the house was immaculate and the pets were happy and well taken care of. We enjoyed the pictures she sent. We will be using Samatha again in the future!”

Michelle K.

“My cats and dogs LOVE Julia! She took such good care of them while I was gone on a trip, keeping me informed the whole time and sending lots of pictures and videos. She followed every instruction and went above and beyond for me. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter to trust with my babies!”

About: I’ve had a pet dog before and he was well taken care of up until his passing. Would love some company when I’m not working. I currently work in the military and I’m off every other weekend. When I am off I am just home not doing anything but gaming. My home is fenced in and I live in a very nice neighborhood where your fur baby can feel safe and be watched after every night he is watched.

About: Hi there! My name’s Jordan, and animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently share my home (and couch!) with 2 energetic dogs and 3 hilarious, personality filled cats. They’re not just pets to me, they’re family. Growing up with animals taught me the importance of patience, playtime, and knowing when a belly rub or a quiet cuddle is exactly what they need. Whether your pet is high-energy and loves fetch or a shy cuddle bug who just wants some company, I take the time to understand their unique personality and needs. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, so I do everything I can to make the experience stress free for both you and them. I treat every animal I care for like one of my own, because I know how much love they bring into our lives. Let’s make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! I'm fortunate enough to work from home so i'm always available and easy to contact. I will be 110% devoted to your animals and I will make my schedule fit around your needs. I do not offer boarding because i'm currently living on the Warren Airforce Base BUT, I can assure you that your home, dogs, and belongings will be protected and taken care of.
