“Ashley was great, she helped me out last minute with no worries. Kept me in the loop with everything that was going on, I never once worried that Kyra wasn’t in great hands.”


5. Philip J.


“Philip was great! Very easy to communicate and schedule his drop-ins, even short notice, and he was willing to stop by to meet the dogs early in the morning before we left. He sent us pictures and notes on his visit and kept us up-to-date on our dogs while we were away. We would definitely book him again if we weren't moving!”

About: Some see them as animals, I see them as little people... whom deserves to be loved and cared for properly. I am dedicated and trust worthy. SAFETY is my number one priority when it comes to your pet. I am a Welder by trade and its currently too hot outside for my career, so I'll have lots of time for your pet till the fall when it cools down. I have two very friendly children in my home, ages 15 and 6. We have lots of room in our home and a big back yard which includes chickens. The chickens stay inside their chicken run, they don't like dogs or cats anyway. My schedule is pretty open right now, so just let me know when you would like services, and I'll let you know if I'm available. We currently have chickens and one mixed breed dog named "Charlie" who loves all dogs, cats and even the chickens. Your pet would have our undivided attention! We absolutely love dogs and cats.


7. Maddison B.

“Maddison did amazing with our doggies. The dogs were afraid at first, but she was able to earn the trust of our doggies by the end of the first visit. Our dogs opened up to her on her next visits. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that Maddison was taking good care of our dogs. We are definitely booking her again on our next trip.”


8. Abbigail C.
About: Hi, I am 19 years old and I’ve been raised with dogs my whole life, and even had plenty of experiences with other people’s fur babies! I worked in a dog daycare for a year so know how to adjust to your pets needs! I am currently a full time student at Southwestern Illinois College and have a small part time job, but was looking for more to do in my free time! I always make sure the pets get lots of love and care and will always make sure they get the exercise they need, regardless if that’s taking them to the dog park on owners request or just throwing a toy in the backyard.


9. Brittany F.

“Brittany is amazing! I would highly recommend her to help with your dog. Thank you!!”


10. Dannielle C.

“The absolute best with our dogs!! I felt so comfortable leaving for a couple days which I don’t normally do knowing Dannielle would be caring for them!! I have one that is shy and she warmed up to her like a champ!! My mind was at ease and always informed of how they were doing! Highly highly recommend!!”


11. Alana C.


“Alana was fantastic - communicated well, was thorough, and took good care of our cat Eska. Would definitely hire again.”


12. Megan M.
“Megan is a great person and she loves animals. She helps her parents watch their two dogs when they are gone for the weekend. She also has two cats at her home that she loves. She is very much a animal lover. I know she will take care of your pets and love them as if they were own.”


13. Caryssa K.
“She took care of my dog niko and went above and beyond for us! She definitely knows what she is doing! I highly recommend working with her! She’s very flexible and willing to work with whatever schedule you may have!”


14. Nikki C.
“Nikki has been a large part of my father's dog's life, Sophie. Sophie has been an energetic and loving dog her entire 9 years, so it's difficult to keep up with her. Nikki has always been going above and beyond to help take care of Sophie for my father. Whether it's multiple feedings, sleeping with Sophie during bad weather or when the pup is sick, or going for daily long walks to help Sophie blow off some puppy energy. Along with her excellent dog care, Nikki has always been a magnificent individual. She is very social and always willing to go the extra mile for anyone.”

About: I've taken care of many pets over the years and I'm an animal lover in general. I have a Great Dane, bunny, turtle, and some fish currently. I have owned cats in the past though just not currently. I can handle big and little dogs even if they aren't the best trained then I'm the person for you. I have a lot of patience with animals. I can handle cats too I get they can have a variety of personalities. Whether they're friendly or not I'll care for them as you need. I will also take care of any other pet in your household if you need I'm not afraid of any animals. Due to college I'm only available anytime after 11am-1pm Monday through Thursday. Friday through sunday I can come anytime. I don't have a current job. If I sit your pet in my home I have gated off areas so they can't get into anything that will harm them. They'll still have plenty of space they'll be kept in the living room and dining room which is connected so it's plenty of space. I'll be here the entire time I won't leave the house if you're pet is with me. I'll play with your cat or dog and give them the attention they need. I'll feed and water them at your scheduled times needed. I'll walk them and take them out when needed. Whatever the pet needs I'm here for. I do have a dog of my own and if your pet isn't friendly with other dogs then I will keep my dog separated from yours for safety reasons. I do have a bunny but it's in an enclosed room that your pet will not have to be near.
