Cat Sitting in Pecatonica

“Brandi has great communication and sends a photo of your pet! She is very friendly and kind! I felt a sense of relief knowing my kitty was safe and fed while I was away!”

“I cannot say enough about Amanda’s exceptional care for my four cats. Over the years, I’ve hired many pet sitters, and she is by far the best I’ve ever had. Her attentiveness and compassion made it so much easier for me to be away, giving me true peace of mind. Not only did she provide outstanding care for my cats, but she also went above and beyond by feeding the stray animals who rely on me for daily meals, as well as keeping my backyard squirrels and birds well-fed. She even collected my mail and kept in regular contact with updates, reassuring words, and adorable photos. Amanda is simply the BEST—reliable, thoughtful, and truly devoted. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

“I was gone for a week for a family reunion/vacation out of state. It was super hot, so I was worried about my Halley. Came home to a friendly, energetic, and well-hydrated cat. Apparently, Halley also requested lots of head rubs, so she warmed up to Madison pretty well. So happy I found someone I can trust with my fur baby.”

“Emily is great. I can tell she really cares for animals and my dog (and fish) would agree. She’s punctual and shared plenty of picture updates while we were away. I definitely recommend Emily for your pet sitting needs! 😃”

About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, and have a passion when it comes to working with animals. Growing up, I have always had dogs and cats, and have also worked with horses and goats. I am extremely comfortable with all animals and have some experience looking after reptiles as well. I have worked at a vet clinic for the past 4 years and feel the knowledge and experience I gained there aids me in my ability to care for pets with their best interests in mind. I can administor oral and injection medications, perform animal first aid/cpr, recognize unusual behaviors/acute illness, care for elderly pets, medically dependant/complex pets, and also am able to work with behavioral pets who may struggle to connect with new people and/or are reactive to other animals. I pride myself on my ability to understand the individual personalities of each pet, and their specific wants/needs. I love working with animals and connecting with new pets and their families! I am extremely active and can keep up with your high energy pets! I also pride myself on staying in contact with families and sending lots of updates and pictures during walks/drop ins. I work a part-time job at a local vet clinic, and am a student studying to become an early childhood educator. My mornings and early afternoons are open and available for me to do drop-ins and walks with pets. I am observant when it comes to caring for pets in a home. I get down and play with them, offer lots of love and pets, and I can follow instructions/guidelines for your pet in your home.

“Jessica was amazing! My cats behaved and warmed up to her quickly, and I got great pictures from each visit. Communication was easy and responsive, and the only issue I had was on my side in terms of adding a code to the door for her. 5 stars, will definitely be my first choice next time! :)”

About: My whole life I’ve been around dogs. Practically everyone in my friends and family have a pup of varying sizes. I’ve been trusted to feed and walk their fur babies. My sister adopted a senior dog a couple of years ago, and it has been my biggest pleasure to get to know her better as well as what separates a senior dog from a younger one. I have been trusted to stay with her, take her outside to potty, take her on walks, and feed her whenever my sister is away. Each day is different, so I’ve been able to adapt on the fly to suit her needs for each day best. I have a flexible work schedule, so even though I have more traditional work hours, I can take 30 minutes or an hour to come visit with your pet and let them outside to walk or potty based on their needs. I do not work after 4pm, so if you need me overnight with your pet, they will have my full attention until 8am the next morning when I go to work. I am able to leave work briefly to check up on your pet during the day as well. I am someone who enjoys a clean space. Our furry friends deserve to have a clean space themselves and clean bodies. If there is mud to be wiped off of their paws, I will happily take care of it, and clean up any mud that was tracked inside. Anything that I can do to pamper your pet and make them feel safe around me is the least I can do. I look forward to making new furry friends!

About: I dog sit occasionally so I’m comfortable with new dogs! I love being outside so that means more outside time for your furry friends :) I am currently working two part time jobs so I could schedule anytime between those two. Mon-Tuesday after noon, Wed-Sunday mornings, afternoons, nights only Wednesdays. This is my current schedule and it can change but I am flexible! :) I currently have one dog of my own and we have a fenced yard. He’s crate trained and potty trained. I can also crate your dog if needed and if they’re trained. My dog is friendly and calm with other dogs. We go on daily walks and he gets his playtime with us!

“This was our first experience with our 1-year-old cat named Stan being away from us. Teresa was amazing at communicating and also would send cute pictures of Stanley. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family who are looking for someone to watch their pet. When me and my fiance went to pick up our little dude he looked absolutely so comfortable outside relaxing in the beautiful weather and looked like he was part of the family. If we ever tend to leave even for a small vacation I would definitely 100% see if Teresa was available to watch our baby. We can't thank you enough Teresa people know how stressful it is to leave their fur babies anywhere but you made this experience so easy and comforting. Rover is lucky to have you respenting them.”

About: I have always been around animals my whole life. I got my first dog at 11, and he’s still around and is the love of my life. I’m currently enrolled in college and only working part time, so I’m looking to see if I can help others out like how they’ve helped me. I will feed your pets, take them out or let them use the restroom, I will love and give them as much attention as possible.

About: I have had pets my whole life. I have had cats and dogs of all types since I was a kid. I have experience with a range of dogs from puppies, to seniors, to dogs with disabilities. I currently have three cats and a dog with my partner. I am comfortable with administering oral medications. I am currently not working and hoping to make a daily routine of pet care. I have full availability and am able to accommodate any needs your pet may have. Trust and safety between pet parents and I is vital to me. I take care in keeping people's pets and homes safe, and I am prepared to treat your pets and home with the utmost care.

“Easy peasy, Maggie had Buster out for his walk just as promised. She is simple to work with and I’m 100% going to ask for her help again.”

“Ezra did an excellent job with Bug, including using the pill popper to give her meds. I really enjoyed how professional and communicative Ezra was. They sent me photos and updates of Bug from each visit and even shared with me tips around what they found worked best for medicating her. Would definitely re-book and recommend!”

“Jennifer was excellent! She came to my apartment as described and dropped-in on my cat while I was away. She sent pictures during each visit and was responsive to text messages when something changed. I would definitely recommend her.”

I have attended just under two years of schooling towards being a zoologist in the past as well. I started fostering with my grandma when i was 14, and I have successfully adopted out 12 pit bulls that would have been put to sleep :) I have pet sit since i was old enough to babysit kids, my grandparents on my dads side were missionaries and would always have me take care of their three cats Lucy,linus, and peanut. I have also helped Noah's ark and Winnebago country with fostering off and on for many years (20 ). I look forward to snuggling your pooch! I work for myself, and can usually be be available almost anytime you need me to be. I am a very responsible and responsive person. I have a fenced yard, harnessed leads and two smooshy olde English bulldogs to keep your fur baby company. I also have cats they can play with , my cats aren't scared of dogs.

“Great experience! Hobbes (our cat) loved Russ & Lisa and we loved the updates and pics they sent us of his stay. Thank you so much!”
