“Kayla was amazing with our fur babies. She came to our place, fed, walked, & loved on our dogs. I would recommend her to any of my friend’s & neighbors. She so kind hearted. My dogs loved her. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, great with large dogs, timely, and overall a genuine person, book with Kayla! You won’t regret it!”
“Ashlyn is super reliable. She is great w/my fur babies. She does a great job giving all sorts of meds and always goes above and beyond to make sure my place looks just like I left it. It’s so nice to come back after a long trip and just step right back into your life. Thanks Ashlyn (and hubby) for keeping Louis and Cricket safe!”
“Ashley made a couple drop in visits for me. She was easy going, and did well with my dogs. She seems very trustworthy and efficient. This was the first Rover visit, and I was very pleased.”
About: I love caring for pets. I have the most experience with very small dogs. This includes puppy training and also taking care of frail senior dogs. I have had two yorkies in the past that I have trained and professionally competed with. I also have experience in house sitting and would happily do any small takes you might need including watering plants, throwing laundry in the dryer, washing dishes, etc. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am rarely in a rush and would happily spend time with your pet if you desire. Helicopter fur-parent...that's me. I prefer to be with pets in the same space so we can keep each other company. If you pet isn't affectionate I can understand that, but I love giving them love if they like. Pet's that I'm boarding have to be hypoallergenic.
“Laszlo was great with our 16 year old cat during a five-day trip. The daily notes he sent us helped us know that our baby was in good hands. We happily recommend cat lovers choose Laszlo!”
About: Hello, my name is Faith and I have had pets in my home my entire life. I know how to administer medications, First aid, CPR, Bottle feeding, and I used to work at a wildlife rehabilitation center. I have rescued several animals in terrible shape when I found them and nursed them back to health, so I have plenty of experience when it comes to that if your pet needs some extra care. I have one dog, four cats, and a lizard and home and would love to get to know your pets as well. I am currently working a full-time job starting at 6am but I would be happy to stop by before then on week days if you’re alright with me being there early! I can take them for walks, feed them and administer medications. If you want I could even take them to a local trail and hike with them so they can get away from the house. I work full time Monday-Tuesday and Thursday-Saturday starting at 1am and ending by noon at the latest. I can care for your pets after work all the way until I go to sleep that night. I would treat your pet as my own. I don’t mind if your pet needs extra care such as medications or if there is an injury I need to be aware of. Your pet and their health and safety would be my number one priority.
About: Hey, there! My name is Elena:) Originally, I’m from a small town in Missouri. I’m currently staying in Carbondale, IL to continue my education. I have worked in the animal field for over 3 years now. I knew from very early on in my childhood that I wanted to help people. Helping is my passion. And by caring for these furry critters-even the ones without fur-I can also help you guys! Working as a veterinary technician and dog trainer has taught me how to care for breeds of all different sizes, ages and temperaments. To me, taking care of animals is a privilege and a joy. So, if you ever need someone to care and love your pet while you’re away, I’m your girl!:) I work a full time job from Mondays to Fridays. So, I’m available anytime after 5:00pm during the week and available all day on the weekends. Currently, I cannot pet sit your pet from my home. Simply because my apartment doesn’t allow dogs:’) I have one cat named KitKat. She greets me in the morning with soft meows-breakfast time. And I greet her by helping her get a big stretch! She loves morning and evening stretches. Although she is quite the independent cat, I still have toys, scratching posts and a cat tree to keep her entertained. My cat means the world to me. Caring for her and loving her is a privilege, just as it would be to care for your pets:)
About: I’ve taken care of animals for a long time. I first started with my mom at a young age. She taught me how to take care of animals and how to respect them. As I got older I was often asked by friends and family to watch over their furry loved ones. This included feeding, walking, and give them lots of TLC. With clear instructions I have also given pets the medicine that they needed at the time. I love both dogs and cats and have experience caring for both. Right now, I am the proud dog mom of an 8 year old Lab-Akita mix. She’s the love of my life and would do anything for her.Being a pet owner myself, I understand the joys and anxieties that come with caring for them so I will be ensure to provide excellent care. I am a military spouse who just received my is bachelor's degree. My weekly routine is mostly open as I am searching for a full time job. Right now my weeks are very flexible and I will be able to work with you on meeting your pets needs. My goal will be to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible as you are away. I will try to keep them occupied so they aren’t missing you too much. I love to go on walks myself, so if it’s allowed I will try to walk them plenty. Any care instructions that are provide will be followed to the letter.

Olivia K.
“I cannot say enough about the care that our dogs, Ron & Gracie receive from Olivia! They are always well fed, walked, and played with every time we leave home. I have received texts and pictures while we have been gone updating me on their activities. I can honestly say that I do not worry about our 4 legged children at all while we are gone. In addition, my neighbors have confirmed this for me because they have told me that they see Olivia at our home playing in the back yard with them and they see then out and about on their daily walks! It is so nice to be able to leave Gracie & Ron and know that they are loved and well taken care of when we cannot be with them.”
