“This is our second time using Georgia to care for our 4 kitties while we are gone. She has been great each time! Our boys are well taken care of and we’ve had such peace of mind knowing someone is loving our babies in our absence.”
About: While I have the most experience taking care of cats, I do have experience with dogs, bearded dragons, and fish as well! I am also always open to learning about new animals and their care routines. I am consistent, detail oriented and passionate about caring for critters and that will always be the same no matter the animal! I am currently employed 7-3:30 5 days per week. I am able to attend to pets before and after work every day as well as on my days off. If something does not quite fit with my schedule I do have a partner who is a little more flexible and may be able to fill in. I live in a spacious townhouse, so if your pet is joining our crew we can provide them with their own space or allow them to roam with the others! If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat it as if its my own. I am a very cleanly person and I am detail oriented so I will attend to your surroundings as well as your pet!
About: I have taken care of just about any animal you can think of. I was a veterinary assistant for 4 years. I am 25 years old and currently finishing my bachelor’s degree online at SIUE. I am a teaching assistant for the local school district now! However, I really miss seeing pets all the time so I would love to pet sit for you! I have my own fur babies but I love to meet new pets and build connections with them as well as their owners! I am currently working part time as a nanny and looking to add more pet sitting clients to my workload! I am in college and trying to save money for my future and pet sitting is a very flexible way for me to do that, plus I enjoy it so much! I always love to spend quality time with the animals I am caring for, it helps them to become more comfortable and makes it more enjoyable for me as well! I like to learn the little things that each pet I take care of likes most and use that to bring them comfort and joy while I am caring for them!
About: I started volunteering at the animal shelter when I was 10. I have 5 dogs and 8 cats that I have rescued from abusive/neglectful homes, the streets, and from the shelter. I took a vet tech class in high school and a big/small animal class. I’m very good with all kinds and types of animals. I work part time currently, 4 to 5 hours a day Monday-Thursday and I’m off Friday-Sunday. I will definitely be able to care for and engage with your pet when needed. When I go to a new house to dog sit I always lock the doors and make sure to follow all rules I have been given. I stay very aware of my surroundings and the animal.
“My Smokey first time was alone when I was gone for a week. I knew he was going to be emotionally stressed. Amber handled Smo very well. Cared for him and fed him food and meds as needed. I’m very happy with Amber how she took care of Smo. I’ll recommend her 100% to take care of your furry babies.”

“Thank you so much Kelly! My husband and I had a worry free weekend away knowing our dogs were well taken care of with Kelly. She went above and beyond for our girls and seeing pictures and getting updates was amazing!”
About: I’ve had pets in the home my entire life; cats, dogs, fish, hamsters and Guinea pigs. I have been the proud owner of a pit bull, pit bull mix, boxer, lab and a St Bernard. I currently have a German Shepherd, Zeus, that is my whole heart. My son and I with help of tons of videos and research have taught our boy 20+ commands/words. I run/walk/hike with him 3-4 times a week in snow/rain/cold/humidity. We actively play and train daily. I put every effort into giving my fur babies the best life possible. I mean, we chose them, they didn’t choose us. I have owned short and long haired cats. I am familiar with the daily grooming for long haired felines. I currently am a cat mom also to a short and long haired. I am very familiar with kitten and puppy care as well. I have a full time job Monday through Friday. I am available week days after 3:30 and all day on Saturday, Sunday and major holidays. I will follow the instructions given to me for drop ins. I certainly wouldn’t put your pet in harms way playing indoors/outdoors or on a walk.
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, growing up with dogs, cats, birds, and even lizards. My mom was an animal lover, and I’ve followed in her footsteps. I helped my dad with his three cats that my mom used to care for before she passed, driving an hour every week for grooming and bathing (one of them is a bit oversized!). I’d love to care for your beloved pet. Although I can’t have pets of my own due to my wife’s allergies, this makes pet sitting my dream job! I regularly care for my father’s cat, Jack, traveling over an hour each way, so distance is not an issue for me. I work seasonally for a cemetery in Bloomington which leaves me laid off from December 1st to March 1st each year. So I am highly available in that 3 month span, and then on weekends during the rest of the year. I’m here to support you and your beloved pet. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and the people who care for them. When my wife mentioned pet sitting, I was excited to get involved right away. Dogs seem to love me, and cats generally tolerate me—which I think says a lot about my character! I’m reliable, trustworthy, and available when you need me. I’ve been caring for pets since I was young, helping neighbors with feeding, walking, and cleanup. I promise to provide the care and attention your pet deserves and be a great fit for you both!
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have dogs ranging from 8 lbs- 78 lbs. I love dogs and always give every dog the attention and love they deserve. I have dealt with blind dogs and skittish dogs. I can easily adapt to the enviroment the dog needs/wants but do not let bad behaviors get by. I also do not believe in "smacking" or punishing a dog in a rough way for any bad behavior. I believe dogs are able to tell when something is not okay by voice, tone, and body language. I want every dog to get the love and attention they deserve. I am willing to spoil a dog to any means and make them forget that you are even gone. I’m a teacher so my summers are very free! I want to be able to keep animals very busy during the summer since it is so nice out! I have experience with “escape artist” dogs so I know how to be safe with animals who may want to escape. I keep an eye on pets all the time especially the ones who may be busy bodies.

Madilynn L.
“Madilynn is excellent with caring for animals. I met her through my local vet clinic, where she was once a veterinary assistant. She extended her help and care to my fur babies on many occasions. Madilynn always makes sure to treat my babies like her own and she never fails to go above and beyond when animals are in her care. I will continue to use her services and with no doubt recommend her to others looking for the right caregiver for their fur babies!”
Rayonna H.
“Ray has been an animal lover her entire life. Ray's brother said it perfectly "If anyone is looking for their kids or their animals and Ray is around, you can guarantee they are following her" She volunteered at the local animal shelter for years. She sat in on surgeries with our local veterinarian as well as with her Aunt who is a veterinarian. She has 5 rescue dogs at her parents and multiple rescue cats, most of which Ray brought in due to needing some sort of medical procedure done. She used to request money for her birthday and donate it to the local animal shelter. She has families in her home town that schedule their vacations around when she is back home so they can have her come to their house and care for their animals. I would trust her over anyone else when it comes to animals and children! Hard to find this kind of genuine kindness towards both but with her it seems to come so natural.”
