“Ana was excellent to work with! She took great care of Maple and was exceptionally responsive during her visit. I would 10/10 recommend Ana to anyone looking for someone they can trust to take care of their furry family members.”


“Rachel was the perfect person to stop over and walk my two dogs! She is clearly very knowledgeable and comfortable with all different pet personalities and behaviors. One of my dogs can sometimes show aggressive behavior to other vehicles/pedestrians on walks, and Rachel handled him with the utmost care, responsibility, and comfortability. I trusted her so much with my dogs and felt very reassured leaving them in great hands. She’s very dependable and excellent at communicating. We loved her consistent updates and photos! Will definitely be using Rachel again!”

“Julie was absolutely amazing! She is extremely responsive and took great care of our pup. Thanks for helping us out and walking our fuzzy kid! I would use again in a second!”

About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care Right In Your Backyard! Hi - I am a part-time local pet sitter who truly understands that pets are family. I am here to ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I offer drop-in visits, dog walks, overnight (at your house) sitting, and can care for dogs, cats, and some birds. My goal is simple: keep your pet's routine as normal and stress-free as possible and to give you peace of mind. When you book with me, you can expect: -Plenty of love and attention (belly rubs included!) -Photo updates -Recap notes on how they did -I can administer oral meds if needed -Clean food and water bowls, tity litter boxes, and refreshed spaces I will always schedule a meet-and-greet first so I can learn about you, your pet's personality and preferences, and complete a profile for my records. I take reliability seriously and treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered!) family members! I currently work full-time, and pet care is my part-time passion. My weekday availability (Monday–Friday) is limited to 5:00–6:00 AM and after 5:00 PM. I do have some flexibility on Fridays and am happy to discuss specific timing upon request. Weekends are generally open unless otherwise marked unavailable on my calendar. Please feel free to reach out to discuss your pet’s needs—I’ll always do my best to accommodate when possible! At this time, I do not have the means to board pets at my house for an extended stay but am looking into it in the future.
About: I've lived with animals my entire life. Growing up, we had five dogs, four cats, bunnies and guinea pigs, snakes and lizards, fish, and chickens. Currently, while living at home in the summers, we have snakes, lizards, spiders, a cat, and three dogs, one of which is mine. My dog Winston is a service dog in training that my mom and I are owner-training. While I'm in no way a professional trainer, I can help with teaching or maintaining the basics with any dog. I'm currently home for the summer from school and waiting on an application for a part-time job. I am free most of the day right now, as I haven't started working yet. So, I can come over and take care of any pet's needs most any time. I can take care of your animals' needs any time, whether it's taking them on a walk, letting them outside, feeding, cleaning up, or playing with them. My dogs at home are crate trained, so if your dog also stays in a crate at certain points of the day or night, I can easily crate them.
“Katie is wonderful! She met Dobby and he loved her. I could tell she was a doggy person right away! She took great care of my fur baby, sent pics, updates, and was very flexible with her schedule. I will be using Katie again and again for our pups walks.”


“Excellent, so helpful. Very friendly, constant communication and photos! She took care of our baby and even offered to bring her treats & brought up our garbage cans! 10/10 would recommend!”

“Jenny was so kind to my puppy. My puppy loved walking with her, she took Streator care of him and he came back happy and tired. She was great about stopping for water breaks on a hot day. She was also so flexible when I had a last minute schedule change. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Ella, and pet care isn’t something I just do, it’s a huge part of my identity and something I continue to explore as I pursue veterinary school! From the outgoing border collie to the chillest basset hound, I’m ready to take on whatever your fur-baby needs! 🎓 Schooling: Currently in undergrad pursuing a pre-veterinary degree—specializing in horses 🌻 Experience: Ran a pet care business since I was in middle school in my neighborhood. Currently training and studying horsemanship! 🐴 Critters: Horses, dogs, and cats I currently work as a horse trail guide and vet assistant. When I’m available, I can take requests both in the early morning, afternoon, and nighttime. 🏥 I treat every pet in my care with the same attention, compassion, and dedication that would give to my own pets. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Building trust with both pets and their owners is extremely important to me, and I strive to create a positive, stress-free environment where your pets can feel at safe.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all sizes, from small breeds to large dogs. I am comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and providing companionship for pets, as well as following any specific care instructions. As a previous pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to make sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am responsible, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Pet care fits well into my schedule. I am available during most weekdays for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I coach youth basketball in the evenings and occasionally have weekend tournaments, but I plan my schedule carefully and communicate availability clearly to ensure pets receive consistent, reliable care and attention. I live in a gated community with a secure, fenced dog park that provides a safe space for dogs to exercise and play. I also have two friendly cats in my home. If a pet is staying with me for boarding, I can keep them separated from my cats if needed to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. Having owned dogs and cats throughout my life, I understand the importance of creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, prioritize pet safety, and treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own.
About: Hi! I have taken care of cats, dogs, chickens & lizards. I feed them, enjoy walking them & spending time with all of them. Thanks. I currently work full time and this is something I do part time, on the side. My full time job is flexible but I would need notice to adjust my work schedule.I can’t promise I can do this all the time… I like to do a meet n greet first so I can meet the family, let the pets sniff me & have some interaction. I follow the regular routine when I am in the clients home. If they are crated, I crate them. If they need to be let out in the middle of night & that is what the owner does, I let pet out…I make sure they are well taken care of. I treat them as they are my own.
