House Sitting in Pinckneyville

“Alicia is great!! Our 3 dogs loved her and we had no worries while on vacation when they were with her! Very dependable and knowledgeable. We enjoyed getting constant updates and pics of our fur babies! Definitely will be using her anytime we need a sitter.”

About: I grew up with cats, from kittens to seniors. My chores growing up involved feeding them, grooming, cleaning up after them. My aunt and uncle had dogs I would help with growing up, and they were always active and high maintenance. In middle school, I dog sat for my neighbors and enjoyed it thoroughly. I have experience in training and handling both cats and dogs, and love a challenge! I am a full time student, but my days are very flexible. I have near full availability Thursday-Sunday and I am willing to work with you to find time for your pets! I am very respectful and willing to work with your rules and times. I am very familiar with following rules and making sure I am following every instruction to a T!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats at every stage of life—from young puppies and kittens to senior and end-of-life care. I work with all breeds and am comfortable administering medications, providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone, so I prioritize clear communication, consistency, and keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and check-ins so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away. Whether your pet needs extra patience, structure, or just lots of love, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re my own. Perfect—here’s a longer, more reassuring version that still sounds professional and high-trust: ⸻ Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, and I maintain a very flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize each pet’s individual needs. I’m available throughout the day and week, which means I can accommodate consistent visits, varying schedules, and even last-minute requests when needed. Because I structure my days around the pets I care for, I’m able to give each visit my full attention without feeling rushed. I take the time to follow your pet’s routine closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, playtime, medications, or simply providing companionship. My goal is to provide dependable, stress-free care while making sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, supported, and well taken care of every step of the way! For dog walking and in-home visits, I focus on providing care that feels as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible. During walks, I make sure your dog gets safe, structured exercise at a pace that fits their energy level, along with plenty of attention and positive interaction. For in-home visits, I follow your pet’s routine closely—this can include feeding, refreshing water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, administering medications if needed, and spending quality time with your pet. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, or just calm companionship, I adjust each visit to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’m very mindful of keeping your home secure and clean during each visit, and I always make sure your pet is safe before leaving. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet by being reliable, attentive, and consistent every visit.

About: I have been around pets my whole life, My aunt fosters dogs and I have been able too help train, feed, walk and have sleepovers with her fosters I work at a job where I have a lot of free time and go to school part-time, I'm able to take your pets out or stay and play. I love finding your pet's favorite toy and bonding over that with them, I love to go on walks and explore new places. I treat all animals like my own fur baby and would love to help you feel comfortable leaving yours

About: I have been a dog mommy for over 25 years, and have taken care of the pets of friends and family forever. I’m especially partial to dogs, but cats are great too…once they deign to allow me to enter their kingdom 😁. I recently had to say goodbye to me soul mate dog, so I have a lot of love to give your fur babies. Can’t wait to meet them! I’m worked from home for 6 years, and I’m currently between roles. I have nothing but time to dedicate to loving on your darling pets. I am active for those who like to walk, and I enjoy my down time cuddles up on the couch with a book and a sweet sleepy dog or cat. Let’s keep your babies at home where they are comfortable! I can come to your home and feed, walk, and give them outside time. Or, if you prefer, I can stay at your home with them while you’re gone. I’m a rule follower, so your house rules will be strictly adhered to, no question! If your pup is high energy and needs lots of walks, let’s go - I’m on a fitness journey myself! If they are in charge and have a designated spot on the couch, I’ll cozy up wherever they “tell” me I can. I just miss my doggo, and I think this is the best way for me to start to heal from that loss. Let me lavish love on yours!
