“Riley was a blessing to our house. Theo and Daisy love her. It was wonderful to see my fur babies go to her and be so relaxed. Taking such good care of them, while staying in their environment to help them feel more at ease. They had just gone through a move and being home was important to their wellbeing. Thank you so much for alleviating so much stress from me plate. We look forward to our next vacation, knowing you are their special person.”

“Lesley was wonderful, caring & thoughtful. I could write a book on all her positive attributes but take it from us, she's a gem! Our pup adores her too & that's the crucial aspect!! We'll definitely be booking Lesley!”

About: I’ve always grown up around dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and etc. A dog is more than just an animal, they are a part of the family. Im a dental assistant and love helping people achieve the confidence to smile again. Im 22 years old and still live with my parents so this is a great side hustle to save money to move out eventually. At home we have a basset hound named Maggie that’s three years old, an Australian Shepard named Ranger that is also three years old, a Yorkie Shih Tzu named Trixie that is about 15 years old (yeah I know she’s basically deaf and blind but old girl is still kicking it), and then two cats that we rescued on the side of the road named Stormi & Klondike! I also have chickens & ducks! Let me dogsit your fur baby 🥰 I’m currently working at a private dental office located in Staunton, IL Monday-Thursday. Usually when I dog sit for a family friend or just anyone in general I stay at their house with the dog(s) so they feel comfortable in their own environment. My work hours are as followed; Monday & Thursday: 7-4pm (lunch 12-1pm) Tuesday 8-6pm (lunch 1-2 or 2-3pm) and Wednesday 7-1pm. I am a reliable and a caring person to watch your fur babies! I usually stay at the clients house so the pet is in a familiar environment and won’t get over stimulated. Every dog is different and so I usually meet the clients and/or the dog(s) so they are somewhat familiar with me and aren’t frightened by a stranger while their loved ones are away.
About: I've had pets around me since I was a baby. I had dogs growing up, and I've been around them ever since. I've been around 20 pound dogs, to 120 pound dogs, nothing is too much or too little for me. Currently I don't have a job, but I am just looking around at dog walking agin. I am supposed to go into the service in about a month, so im trying to make some extra money before I ship off! In my house, I have a fenced in yard, that keeps my pitbull safe, and happy. I would love to be in someone’s house where they have a fenced in yard, but I know that’s not ideal for everyone. If they don’t that’s perfectly fine, we just take the fur baby out in a leash to be outside then!
“Gabbi was AMAZING with my animals. She watched my two dogs, cat, and fed some of my reptiles. She went slow with my fearful dog so she could warm up to Gabbi. Gabbi updated me daily to let me know what was going on! We also had a snow storm pass by and Gabbi made sure my dogs were ok in the snow and wiped their paws when coming in. She also shoveled my driveway which she did not need to do but did it anyway!! I appreciate everything she did for me and will be definitely rebooking with her!”

“Trust. I have implicit trust that Haley will do what she needs to do to care for and protect my dogs and home. It's hard to find good reliable individuals these days. I look forward to continuing to utilize her professional services.”

“We had a great experience with Abigail! She took wonderful care of our high-energy dog, Elsa, who also has some special needs. Abigail sent us daily updates and photos of their walks, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She left our house in tip-top shape, even waiting to make sure our flight landed before she departed — such a thoughtful touch. Abigail is friendly, personable, and professional. We came home to a spotless house and a happy and healthy Elsa. We’re already looking forward to booking her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

“Madison was an excellent sitter and cared for my pets like they were her own! She is very professional, has excellent communication, and asked detailed questions to ensure everything was covered. Madison played fetch with them and gave them cuddles and checked on them during her work lunch breaks. Seriously, would book her again!!”

About: I’ve had animals in my family my whole life! I have two doggies of my own. Beans and Kona. I have watched a lot of other people’s animals throughout my life. Animals are the best thing in this world! Without them life would not be as fun. I have open availability for the most part. I own my own business and thought this would be a fun side job! I’m very responsible and dependable. I am able to watch pets for short or long amounts of time! Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. Each morning, I feed my pets and take them for a walk. Throughout the week, I schedule playtime and grooming sessions, ensuring they stay healthy and happy. Their well-being adds joy and structure to my day-to-day life. I try to stick to their normal routines! I always feel like dogs have a less stressful time when we stick to the stuff they know. If there is something specific you need, I can accommodate!
“Hannah is a great dog/house sitter. Very reliable and always on time. Texted pictures of Perry on arrival, good walks every day, he seemed very happy and well cared for. The house was perfectly clean. Will deffinatly hire her again.”
“Brooke took excellent care of my dogs for almost a week. She was responsive and cared responsibly for my two senior dogs who can be demanding and a bit spoiled. Communication was great and she was the perfect house guest. Will definitely trust Brooke with my dogs next time. She is a thoughtful and caring pet sitter I would highly recommend to friends and family.”

About: I am good with cats, dogs and guinea pigs. I can clean out litter boxes, change bedding for guinea pigs and also have extensive experience in caring for a guinea pig's special needs. I’m currently working Mon-Thurs from 8:15am-4:30pm and Friday from 8:15am-12:30pm and I get an hour lunch! So if you ever need me to check in on your fur babies, I can do that! And I can still stay overnight if needed! I will follow instructions how to care for your animals in your home. This can include baths, walks, potty breaks, play time and feeding times.
“I went out of town for a couple of days and Emily stayed at my place watching my dog Leo. She was so responsive and caring. She also sent daily updates and pictures. Emily was so sweet with Leo I will definitely have who come watch him again she I’m out of town ❤️❤️”

About: I currently work as the main shelter attendant in the cat room at a local animal shelter and provide pet sitting services on the side. My work schedule is quite flexible, which allows me plenty of time to care for your pets and accommodate your needs. In high school, I served as President of the Animal Rescue Club for two years, where I organized volunteer projects and fundraisers to support local shelters. Since then, I’ve continued to build my experience in animal care, working both at a pet kennel resort and now at an animal shelter. I’ve been petsitting for about nine years, starting with family and friends and gradually growing through word of mouth referrals from clients. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for all types of animals, including dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, bunnies, reptiles, and even horses. I’m also comfortable administering medication, even to tiny pets like hamsters! At home, I have 5 cats (two with disabilities) and regularly foster kittens, so animals are truly a big part of my everyday life. You can trust that your pets will be safe, loved, and well cared for in my hands. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or administering medication, I’m committed to providing the highest level of care and attention to meet each pet’s unique needs. My schedule is very open and flexible, and I’m always happy to adjust as needed! Those who know me personally would tell you that I’m great at working around even the busiest schedules. I’ll always make sure to set aside the perfect amount of time to care for your pets, ensuring they’re happy, well taken care of, and ready for a nice nap by the time I leave! I have experience with all animals and dogs of all breeds and sizes! So you can trust that I am a good fit and am able to handle your pet(s) no matter what size or breed they are!
About: I have worked with animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm with cows, chickens, pigs, cats and dogs. It comes naturally to me. I work in the early morning so I am done with that job by early afternoon. I have flexibility and will let you know if there is any available time. I have a kind and gentle daughter who loves all animals, a sweet corgi and 2 lovely adopted cats. In my home. I have an indoor fence and kennel and 2 separate cat only(no dog allowed) rooms
“Taylor followed all of our instructions perfectly and sent great photos of our dogs! We came home to our apartment looking the exact same as when we left. Would absolutely recommend and/or use again!”
