Kayla! Took incredible care of my two cats over the thanksgiving holiday. She managed to enjoy her T-day and decorate her home for Christmas but still made sure my kitties were happy. Who could ask for more?

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized care for each pup I look after. I take the time to get to know your dog’s unique needs, routines, and quirks, ensuring they feel right at home. I offer regular photo and video updates, so you never have to worry about how your pet is doing while you’re away. With a safe, cozy home and a focus on fun and comfort, your dog will feel like part of the family. Whether it’s a walk, a play session, or snuggle time, I tailor everything to your pet’s preferences! I am working from home and part time, so my schedule is flexible as I make my own schedule. I will tailor my schedule to yours. In My Home: I offer a safe, cozy environment with plenty of space for your pet to feel comfortable. While my large yard isn’t fenced in, I ensure that outdoor time is always supervised and safe. Inside, my two shy cats provide gentle company for pets who enjoy calm, quiet companionship. I offer a relaxed and secure atmosphere where pets can roam freely, rest, or have quiet time as they need. I also provide lots of space for your pet to retreat to if they prefer solitude. Whether it’s a play session, a nap in a cozy spot, or simply some peaceful downtime, your pet will always feel at ease. In Your Home: When I care for your pet in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their routine and comfort. I offer drop-in visits to feed, play, and clean up, or take your dog for a walk to ensure they get the exercise and fresh air they need. I understand the importance of a pet’s familiar surroundings, so I make sure they feel safe and secure in their own space. Whether it’s a walk, a play session, or just some cuddle time, I’m here to provide the attention your pet needs while keeping you updated with photos and messages.

About: Hello! My name is Gracie, a graduate student living in the Carbondale area. I'm looking for furry walking buddies to make some extra money in my free time. From growing up on my family's hobby farm and watching friend's pets, I have over 9 years of experience caring for dogs and other types of animals, both small and large. I have a wonderful cat named Whispy. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you're in need of animal care. I look forward to meeting you and your dog (or other fur babies). You're welcome to send me a message with any or all inquires. I'd love to get to know you dog or other pet more. In the meantime, have a wonderful day! I’m currently job hunting after graduation, so my current availability is very flexible to suit your schedule. I am willing to work around your schedule to meet your pet care needs. I usually spend my time accompanying the pets when I’m animal sitting for my clients. I can’t help myself but play with pets when they’re nearby, so expect lots of exercise and enrichment :)

About: I’ve taken care of animals for a long time. I first started with my mom at a young age. She taught me how to take care of animals and how to respect them. As I got older I was often asked by friends and family to watch over their furry loved ones. This included feeding, walking, and give them lots of TLC. With clear instructions I have also given pets the medicine that they needed at the time. I love both dogs and cats and have experience caring for both. Right now, I am the proud dog mom of an 8 year old Lab-Akita mix. She’s the love of my life and would do anything for her.Being a pet owner myself, I understand the joys and anxieties that come with caring for them so I will be ensure to provide excellent care. I am a military spouse who just received my is bachelor's degree. My weekly routine is mostly open as I am searching for a full time job. Right now my weeks are very flexible and I will be able to work with you on meeting your pets needs. My goal will be to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible as you are away. I will try to keep them occupied so they aren’t missing you too much. I love to go on walks myself, so if it’s allowed I will try to walk them plenty. Any care instructions that are provide will be followed to the letter.

Dahlgren, IL, 62828

About: I have had dogs for most of my life and always loved all animals. I work remotely so I am almost always home with my own pets. I work from home, so rather than keeping a strict schedule, I usually follow my dogs’ lead. They generally let me know when they need to go outside/come inside, eat, play, etc. We do at least two feedings a day. Every animal I’ve ever had has had their own unique personality with unique needs. Right now I have big, friendly dogs, but before them I had a grumpy old Yorkie with epilepsy/special needs. I will tailor my care to whatever will be best for your pet(s).

About: I've raised animals of all sorts all my life so I am very passionate about giving the best care to any and all types of animals. I have spare time in my weeks to walk, play, pet and cuddle your pet. If you have a schedule set for them then I will keep them on it to the best of my abilities and if no schedule then I can wing it and even make one if you'd prefer. I supervise all outside time not just the walks, I keep a close eye on your pet to make sure no one gets into or out of anything their not supposed to and if you have a door charging pet I can keep them from slipping past and can even help teach them to refrain by request only. I work anywhere from 1-3 times a week which leaves me with a lot of spare time on my hands to help others furry friends. Though I don't offer stays in my home, I will be mindful of yours, if you have specific rules or routines for your pet I will happily uphold them and will always look out for the safety of your pet.

Kyla has watched her my pets (one dog, two cats) multiple times. I am always at ease knowing that my fur babies will be well cared for. Whether that is over night or just a few hours. She was very attentive to their needs to make sure they were as comfortable as possible while in her care.

Megan is the BEST! When we had our German Shepherd Sadie, we asked her to trim her nails and babysit her a few times while my husband and I went out of town, and I swear that dog came back to us happier than ever! She loves dogs and I am so thankful for that. I can vouch that she will take care of any of your doggos needs! :)

Wolfe is amazing with animals they have wanted to be a vet since they could talk. They love learning everything about dog training and has went to one on one classes to learn more. Every animal loves them I swear. So whether or not your looking for a full time dog walker or cat sitter they are a top choice for best service.
