“Caeden took excellent care of our dog and house while we were away. Communication and response time was all good and we were comfortable having him in our home. This was our first time using Caeden but we will definitely be booking him again.”
About: I have worked with animals since I was in middle school. I enjoy being around animals and I want the best for them. I am certified and very good at what I do. I am currently working part time and also homeschooling my children so I will have ample time to care for your companion.

“Reka took such good care of our boys! We’re so glad to have her.”
“Mary is a great person, friendly and attentive. Tremendous communication. I felt comfortable with her in charge”
About: Hi, thank you so much for stopping by to read through my profile. I’m stoked to start this journey. I have loved and taken care of friend’s and family’s dogs for years. Big, small, medium, even tempered, wild, mellow, I absolutely love them all. I have a 11 year old black lab, who’s slowed down a lot. She is my everything. She just can’t move like she used to and I find something about raising a dog from a young pup to an aging one, so very special and rewarding. If your dog is fast paced or likes to smell every blade of grass, I’m game. Rain, shine, or snow, I’m available. I’d absolutely appreciate it if you gave me the opportunity to spoil your dog, not just walk. I understand these are your babies. My house is also open with a fenced in back yard and lots of attention and love offered. Let me know what questions or concerns you might have! I work Monday-Friday, I am free in the evenings and off on Thursdays typically. I’m free on most holidays like Thanksgiving(so keep that in mind).** I am free on most weekends. ** Also please note, I’m willing to travel to MO from IL side. My house is open and I have a great fenced in area. Your dog will be spoiled rotten over here. Lots of pets and attention. I also know how important a walk is to a dog, it’s the highlight of their day! We’d make the most of it.
“Lark stayed for a week at our home and was so caring of our furry baby Kevin.

We will definitely be calling her back to see if she can stay again when we plan our next trip! Thank you so very much!”

About: I have taken care of my cats everyday since I was twelve. I also often cat and dog sit for family members whenever they need a sitter.

“Mikayla did a great job looking after my babies and communicating! She sent plenty of pictures and was even kind enough to wash the sheets for the room she stayed in. I really appreciate her services and will definitely use her for future pet care needs!”
“From what I can tell Kristin did an excellent job with Peeka! I say “From what I can tell” jokingly. There were so few things moved or touched that it made it impossible to tell she had even been there! In the future, and there will definitely be more, im going to have to tell her to be comfortable! I very highly recommend Kristin and look forward to having her take care of my baby again! Thanks!”
About: I've had dogs since I could walk! I have 2 dogs, 3 cats, and a beard dragon all full of love! I've been dog walking/sitting for about 6 years and have cat sit for 3 years. I'm a student athelete and I currently work part time. I'm usually free Mondays and Wednesdays early mornings and after 3. Usually Saturdays all day and then Sundays before 130 and after 4:30 pm. I can walk multiple dogs at a time, sweep up dog hair, play with and brush your furbabies, clean the litter boxes, wipe puppy paws, and more!
