“Regan is a wonderful pet sitter. He did drop in visits for us and was great at communicating with us and giving us updates. He took great care of our rabbit and everything was so clean when we got home. He took in our mail which was totally above and beyond. Absolutely booking with Regan again.”


“Highly recommend!!! I chose Erin because of all the positive reviews and she did not dissapoint! Erin was wonderful and went above and beyond for what I expected. I couldn't have asked for a better person than her. I will use her again when I need to travel! Thank you Erin!”


About: I have had a dog all my life. Growing up we had Boxers. In my adult married life we have had Labrador Retrievers . These dogs have not been dogs but fur kids. I have taken them to obedience classes so I have experience in commands and working with them. I believe that fur kids need plenty of exercise on and off leashes. Dog parks are a good way to socialize them and get in exercise. In the home mind games are fun too. Sniffing out a treat to playing with toys on the floor with them. I love taking pictures and document what we do. You will know what your fur child is doing. I am currently working for home during the week day so being with them during the day works. I am able to take breaks and go on short walks. Play with them in our fenced in yard. I plan on retirement in May so I will be available 24/7, 365 days a year. I am willing to come into your home if you would feel more comfortable. If they come to my home we have a fenced in yard and will be able to play with our 2 fur boys. One is an 8 year old chocolate Labrador and the other is a 5 year old German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees. Both have had other dogs come into the home and stayed with us. They love having visitors. In your home I will attend to their needs as you have outlined.


“Whitney was very consistent and always on time, she gave our girl all the attention she needed! Would go with her 10/10 times and for sure keep her in mind for future visits!”


“Mairin is beyond reliable, so great with communication and she takes great care of my Stella girl, and she’s just a sweetheart! It’s nice to have people who you know will treat your pup like their own, and I know Mairin does just that!”


“I couldn't be happier with Serenity's care for my dog! She was attentive, reliable, and treated my pup like her own. It was clear she has a natural love for animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in her care. Serenity sent regular updates, which made the experience even better. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”


About: I love dogs and want to adopt all of them! I had a Boston Terrier who was my little shadow. Since I don't have the time to adopt a new dog, I figured pet sitting would be a great way to fill the spaces left that only dogs know how to fill. I work as a nurse at the hospital M-F 730-4. I can do drop in appointments before and after work, or could pet sit overnight. I have 2 indoor cats. I'm unsure of how they are with dogs but they get along with other cats well. If needed, I could keep the animals separated. At your home, I would follow whatever directions are given, offer some play time or snuggle time, and send updates about your pet.

About: I’ve volunteered at shelters and helped find loving homes for even wild animals from working at a wildlife sanctuary. I’ve been working with pets since I was a 17 year old. I’m currently in employed so I have all the time to care for all the pets. I have a love for active pets so if your pet is hyper I’m your person I have a fenced in yard and also have a husky mix so if you have an animal who needs a buddy to feel safe she has it covered

About: I have had animals my entire life from the time I was born to now. My first word was our dog at the time’s name, Heidi.

I have a full time job from 8 to 5. I am typically home most other times, rarely going out. I have a partner that lives with me and he is an animal lover as well and he often gets home before me by a couple of hours. I have 1 small friendly dog and 2 dog friendly cats. The animals are allowed in all areas and furniture of the house, however, I can crate if needed. I have a small crate in my house for dogs up to 20 pounds. I have a fenced in yard and can do daily walks as well.

About: I have been a dog mom to Zoe for 10 years! I have also dog sat and walked for my neighbors ever since I was little. I am a therapist in the school system so my days are usually from about 8-3. I have open availability to house sit and help out when you are going out of town! I live in a studio with an open floor plan. There is plenty of grass and an area for dogs to play! If I am caring for your pet in your home, I am respectful of your space and try to make it look like I was never there.

About: I grew up with dogs my whole childhood, and almost seven years ago my husband and I adopted our first puppy together. My favorite part of having a fur baby is having a walking partner. Whether just exploring the neighborhood, or going out to some beautiful trails together, I love that time with my furry hiking companions. I have worked with dogs with very different leash behaviors, and I have worked with my own pup to help both of us get the most out of our exercise. I am happy to take your dog out to the trails with us (weather permitting), or walk your dog individually in your neighborhood if you prefer. I have experience feeding, watering, bathing, and giving medication. I have worked with dogs that are relaxed and easy going, and others that are reactive and anxious. With the right attitude and knowledge I have found that they all make wonderful fuzzy friends! If you are looking for a drop in visit, I am happy to provide some play time, throw some tennis balls, or just snuggle up on the couch with your pup. I typically work 9am-12pm (I teach at Bradley University part time) during the school year so I could do both an afternoon visit/walk and an evening one if needed. During the summer I am off and able to accommodate a wider schedule. I have a part time teaching position in the mornings, but I love to go hiking or walking with pups in the afternoon and evening. I am also happy to provide play time or snuggles anytime after 12pm. I am very diligent and careful to make sure that I respect whatever safety policies you practice with your pet. Leashes, fences, harnesses, and positive reinforcement will all be followed to your specifications.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life growing up to adulthood. I currently have a 2 cats - Benny & Banks and a Cane Corso - Bentley! I love animals and caring for them and spoiling them when I have extra ones. I’m a trustworthy person and looking to help out those in my community with great care for your pets while you’re away I currently have a pretty open schedule for the most part for all days of the week. I am a property manager in Peoria and mostly work virtual except for the times I have to maintenance the properties. I am free most mornings, evenings, and nights. I have a fenced backyard and my gentle giant Bentley to keep your furry ones occupied while you’re away! We crate our dog when we are out. They will get plenty of love snuggles and treats in our home. I’m also a very trust worthy person with a clean record for someone to trust in your home while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of and owned dogs my whole life. I communicate very well with animals. I have taken care of other people's dogs for several years now as well. I have had dogs with health issues so I am not afraid to take on a special needs family member. I am a part-time LPN as well. I only have to work 3 days a week doing that so that leaves the majority of the week for you and your loved one. I have a 7 month old cat named Figaro. He is very sweet and friendly. We live in a safe neighborhood, we'd love to meet you! My schedule is very flexible so I am able to cater to whatever your fur-child’s needs may be! I work from home as of right now. I have no trouble traveling to come to your home or pick up your fur-child. In my home my cat has his area of litter box/food and water and if the pets need to be separated there is enough space to do so.
