Pet Sitting in Turpin

About: Ever since I remember, I’ve had a dog. Life without a dog is so boring. There’s no true love more than the three dogs that I have of my own. I currently work from home with my three dogs so they are never left alone and all they’ve ever known as love. I’ve spent a lot of time working with them to make sure that they are well behaved while I’m not trained in many aspects of dog care I’m more than happy to help you out when you’re in need! I’m free before most work days, during lunch hours, as well as, after work hours and most weekends! Reach out to me if there is a time that you may need additional care for your pet. I’m very flexible. The three dogs I have at home are well cared for and loved every day. My standard poodle, Romeo went through a very tough time the summer of 2024. I was unsure how his life would end up and what was really going on with him, he was a completely healthy dog and something changed him medically at the time I could not run the test that were needed so I am still unsure, but I have nursed him back to full health and he is still here with me!

“Terri was absolutely wonderful. I had never used Rover before. She gave me daily updates. She went above and beyond to take care of my pets. I will definitely contact her again when I leave town.”

Emily F.

“Jessica was wonderful as always! She was very communicative and even went above and beyond by taking my dog for a walk and helping clean up when he had an accident. She is very appreciated and absolutely recommended!”

Lena R.

“Ashley has had about 4 drop in visits with my pets and I am pleased with how it’s gone! Very attentive and caring.”

Kennedy K.

“Katerina did a great job with Bella! She sent updates and photos each visit. Bella was happy to see her and be able to play and go outside. Definitely will schedule her again!”

Sue K.

“We really loved having Heidi to help out with our pups! This was our first time using Rover, so it was a little new for us. Heidi was super accommodating with great communication and reliability even when we needed to add last minute drop-ins. She went above and beyond in taking care of our pups and we couldn't ask for a better first experience. We will definitely be checking Heidi's availability the next time we plan a trip out of town!”

Erik C.

“Reliable and friendly, I can tell from the check in photos that my dog is happy to see Brooklynn each day.”

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’ve been a pet owner since I was 19. I have experience giving medication with my own dogs and worked at a dog boarding place in the past. I promise to love on your dog like they are my own. I work full time Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 5 pm. I’m free most weekends. I’m able to come check on a dog before work and after work. I could possibly go on my lunch break around 1 pm if not too far from my house. Right now I’m not offering services in my house because I have an older dog with vision and health issues. She is more of a people loving dog! At the clients house I will make sure your dog gets plenty of affection and play time. I will try my best to keep them on their normal schedule with potty breaks and meal times. Please make sure to tell me all your dogs favorite things!

About: I have had fur pets since I was 4 years old. I love cats and dogs! I have experience feeding, bathing, walking, clipping nails (cats), bottle feeding and giving all the pets they need! Pets are a part of the family to me. I have 2 cats and 1 dog and they all sleep with me at night. I’ll take good care of your fur baby too. I am a mom to both human and fur babies so pet care is a daily routine naturally for me. My work schedule is pretty flexible which would allow me to visit your pet a few times a day. I will follow your rules for your pet to the best of my abilities. I am familiar with feeding dry food and canned food to both cats and dogs. I enjoy playing fetch and giving good scratches to your furry friends!

“Heather has been great to work with. She has been so understanding of the changes we have had for the weekend. She is great with our boys! Definitely recommend her.”

About: I have cared for pets of my own and friends for over 25 years. I look forward to assisting you with your pet needs while you are away! I am currently working a flexible job that allows me to satisfy almost any schedule needs for your furry family member. I am excited for the opportunity to serve. I am very detail oriented, I am able to follow your instructions well, or if you just want to provide a simple list of feeding times and amounts, I can make up the rest as we go. I love to walk and play with your pet.

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors dogs for years as they were not physically able to take them on walks. I’ve always had dogs of my own growing up. I am currently available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends. I am flexible with times and schedules that work best for you and your pup. I will accommodate to your pets need and what fits their personality best! I know every pup is different and I’m looking forward to meeting your fur baby.

“Brittney is fantastic! We are extremely happy with the care our pup received while we were out of town. Brittney is so accommodating & made the entire experience go smoothly.”

“Malachi was fantastic and very personable! He took such great care of my baby boy and went above and beyond to get to him when I didn't leave the door accessible for him ? I would definitely recommend Malachi to anyone. He has great patience and loves pups”

About: I have 2 loving dogs of my own! I work from home so I am with them 24/7! I volunteer at my local animal shelter anytime I can to give back to all the animals that need our help! I work from home, so whenever you need me I will most likely be available! Weekdays are very flexible and weekends I will do my best to make something work! I can do anything from playing with your fur baby, walking them around the block, or taking them to the dog park! I have crate trained both my dogs, so I can easily put dogs in their crates.

About: I have been an animal lover since I was a kid. Rescuing chickens, rabbits, cats, horses - you name it! In my adult life, I took some time away from pets while obtaining my Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry. The first thing I did after relocating to Decatur, IL for my job, was adopt an unwanted adult shelter cat that resided at Animal Control for months, Spider. He is still with me - 11 years later. I have learned the reasons why Spider was surrendered. It inspired me to get involved with animal rescue in the community. I have adopted and fostered puppies, dogs, kittens, and cats. I have probably dealt with nearly every type of cat or most cat disabilities at this point - and if not, am extremely willing and able to learn. My feline resume includes sight and hearing impaired, sick, diabetes, incontinence, behavioral issues, MORE... I am a huge believer of positive reinforcement training for dogs. If you follow dominance training or negative reprimanding, we will not get along. I have taken two doggos through AKC CGC certification awards and other courses. My personal dog, Timber, suffers from several health issues including hypertension - which caused enucleation of both eyes; chronic rhinitis; and gingival hyperplasia. I am very used to paying attention to the subtle signs of dogs when medical issues arise. Currently, i am working from home, but transitioning back to in-person office work soon. When I return back to work, my schedule does offer a lunch break and reasonable flexibility. Interestingly, all of my puppy fostering has been pre-COVID/work-from-home! My home offers a fenced-in yard. We always walk pets on-leash. In side the home, we have options for crating and our home has several doors to close off rooms to create separate safe spaces, if needed. We also have several baby gates. Crating is very useful for at least feeding times. Our resident dog, Timber, eats in his crate, and he is trained to go there if he gets stressed - even though he is blind. I can often watch cats here in a spare room. Although, I do think cats are happiest at their homes with daily visits, if an option. In a client home, I would like to try to stick the schedule the pets are used to. Arranging a visit to understand the home layout, where things are kept, and meeting the pets are very important to me. I am happy to arrange multiple visits or stay at the house, depending on the needs of the clients and pet(s).
