Personalized care for your dog or cat - Alexis

“Words cannot even come close to describing Barbara!! She is everything I could ever ask for in someone I trust to leave my baby with! Paisley is a rescue dog and usually experiences high anxiety when I am not around. Barbara loved her like her own and the smile on my girls face when I saw her and how HAPPY she was warmed my heart. So blessed to have found and made a friend in Barbara!”

Paige A.

“I highly recommend this couple. Emilie and Michael cared for our puppy while we were away and they did an amazing job. Good natured couple. Also their dog Lila is a gentle giant. She got along very well with our puppy. We will definitely use their services again. Five Stars.”

Mark M.

“Ashley was great, upfront communication and alignment with the environment they had, which helped ensure a good fit. Her two dogs and the space made Thad feel right at home and welcome! Definitely going to keep at the top of this list for the future.”

Josh E.

“Anna-Lena is the person you can absolutely feel safe and comfortable having your best friend stay with her! She was incredibly helpful with watching over my dog by having great communication, greeting the dogs and keeping me up to date with pictures and little notes on the stay! I know my dog enjoyed herself and I was able to enjoy myself knowing my dog was with someone that takes safety, security, and also fun into staying with her! She will always be my first choice whenever help is needed again!”

About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs since an early age. I’ve cared for my own pets and those of friends and family. I work from home Monday through Friday, so I’m able to be with your fur babies all day. Weekends are for fun and time outside walking and socializing. I live in an apartment with a fair amount of green space and a paved pond area for daily walks. I’m also conveniently located next to a dog park as well! I have two sweet kitties to keep your babies company throughout the day too.

“Taylor accepted our pups with short notice and took great care of them! She provided consistent updates and pictures. Would definitely use again.”

Elyana W.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for many years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable following specific routines, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m able to be flexible with scheduling. I have availability on weekdays and weekends and can accommodate drop-ins, walks, and extended stays depending on your needs. I enjoy spending quality time with pets and make sure they receive plenty of attention, play, and care. I am a teacher, so in summer months, winter and spring breaks I will have quite a bit more of availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, routines, and feeding schedules provided by pet parents. I maintain a clean, calm environment and closely supervise pets during play and outdoor time. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any signs of stress, and I always communicate updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I have watched all dogs from puppy to old senior sweethearts, my heart belongs to all animals. My boy loves friends and always ready for a visitor! I am currently a stay at home mother, I have all the free time in the world. I spend my free time with my children and my fur babies!! I have a huge yard, not fenced in but safe and in a quiet neighborhood. All animals will be taken out on a leash and give PLENTY of time to go potty! I have a wonderful comfy couch that all animals are welcomed to cuddle with my family on!

About: I will ensure your pet has proper care from food, water, playtime, walks, and just a general well being, I know how to administer medicine as well. I work from home, so your pet will have a constant presence in the house, never alone, so my schedule is open always for your pets I provide your pets everything you ask me to, nothing will be given to your pets without your permission, they will have a cozy stay with me whether it’s drop ins or boarding

About: I started dog sitting because I know what it’s like to leave your dog and spend the whole trip wondering if they’re okay. I’m Christy and I live in east moline Illinois , and my whole approach is built around keeping your dog happy at home where they’re comfortable. I’m big on communication — you’ll know when we walked, how they ate, what weird new toy position they invented, and you’ll get proof in photo form. I genuinely enjoy the little things: earning a nervous rescue’s trust, figuring out the exact scratch spot that makes a leg kick, or giving a senior pup the slow, patient walks they deserve. I treat every dog like they’re my own and every house like it’s mine. Dogs don’t care about your to-do list, they care that someone shows up for them. That’s why I love this, I get to be that person. Pet care is my day, not an add-on. I schedule walks, meals, meds, and playtime first, then build everything else around that. I’m up early for breakfast and potty breaks, available for mid-day visits, and home in the evenings for dinner, walks, and cuddles. Your dog gets consistency because my routine is designed I offer boarding and doggy daycare in my home here in east moline Illinois , and I’m home all day with the pups. Because I work from home, your dog isn’t left alone for hours, they get constant supervision, regular potty breaks in the yard, and someone to hang out with. I don’t use crates. I believe dogs do best when they can move freely in a safe, dog-proofed space, so I only take one client’s dogs at a time and make sure everyone gets along before booking. I stick to your dog’s normal feeding and walk schedule, and we spend the day based on what they need: playtime for the energetic ones, nap spots and quiet company for the mellow ones. You’ll get photo updates throughout the day so you know exactly how they’re doing. My house is their house while they’re here.

About: I did a lot of dog/cat sitting back when I was in college (8 years ago). I have some time off of work and would love nothing more than to fill my schedule with watching your pets. I have experience in caring for dogs, cats, chickens, and some reptiles. I am off of work for a couple of months, so my availability is wide open! 7 days a week, morning or night would work. I live on an acreage, so our 3 dogs are on a wireless gps collar system. If your dog/s were to come to my yard, they would need to be somewhat collar-trained. At your house, I can walk dogs, play with your dogs in your yard, and hang out with them inside the house. For cats, I can play with them inside, and give them lots of company.

“We used Kara and her family for a 2 day overnight stay. We have nothing but the best to say about Kara and her sweet family. Our 5 month old puppy enjoyed his time there and we will definitely use them again!!!”

Tiffany B.

“Maria and her family were very welcoming to Drax, from the photos looks like he enjoyed himself. We would definitely have them watch him again!”

Ike L.

About: I am a newer cat owner (four years now) but I am loving every minute of it and would love to help care for your precious kitty too.

About: I have experience caring for cats through friends, family, and client pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, administering medications, litter box cleaning, playtime, nail trims, and giving space to those who are timid. I understand that every cat has a different personality and I always move at their pace to keep them comfortable.

“We’ve had Carson visit our little guys twice and plan to again. We know that someone sweet is visiting them while we’re away and that gives us confidence that we’re choosing the right person.”

Bob O.

“I was very pleased with Ashlee and would definitely request her again to care for my pets (dog and cats). She asked detailed questions to prepare herself for their care and handled the special medication needs of both my dog and cat by taking a pic of their prepared food. She was dependable and on time. Her relaxed confident manner made my nervous dog at ease with a stranger. I would recommend her to others.”

Kathy W.

“Excellent service for house sitting with a demanding male cat - Sabbat. I booked a 10-night stay with the best sitter to watch my cat. He was well taken care of during my absence and Mary went above and beyond my expectations! My cat loved her and is still looking for her..even his coat improved from so much petting and care. She tidied the house, washed the dishes, took care of my kitty, and covered all of the details. I have a complicated home and Mary took care of every single detail impeccably. SHE SENT MOVIES, VIDEOS, UPDATES! I COULD NOT HAVE WISHED FOR A BETTER SITTER. Mary was awesome....”

Deborah M.

About: I have had cats for the past eight years and would be relied on to watch my friends cats when they were away from home!

“Amanda was very reliable and great with communication. It’s always scary not knowing someone well and having them stay at your house with your pets and she over exceeded our expectations. We appreciate it! Will definitely keep her on our list for the future!!”

“We had a good first experience with Emilie as Poppy’s sitter. Poppy seemed to do well during her stay, and we appreciated receiving photo updates while we were away. Communication was smooth throughout, and we didn’t have any complaints. We would be more than comfortable booking with Emilie again in the future.”

Shannon G.

About: A trusted animal lover who is always willing to learn what I need to do in order to care for a pet properly and lovingly. My nickname is Alex which might pop up in my testimonials. I’m a college student home for the summer which allows me to have an open schedule within reason. Only available until august 15th due to school. I will go to your home when requested and follow your feeding and care instructions to the T and beyond. I will make sure to spend time with your pet(s) to make sure they feel cared for and I am willing to send daily pictures and videos of your pets.

About: *NOW OFFERING DISCOUNTED RATES!* *I am currently on hiatus from house sitting! I will offer that service again soon!* After a brief break due to adjusting to a new, full-time job, I’m back to doing what I love: caring for your furry family members! With 50+ 5-star reviews and years of experience, I’m here to offer dependable, loving care again. I've had pets of my own my entire life and have cared for pets of friends, family, and neighbors for years! I love being around animals and have 3 babies of my own. I'll love your best friend as much as I love my own! I am reliable, punctual, and energetic and always willing to do what I can to help out! I have an anxious, aggressive, and arthritic Chihuahua of my own, so I have experience with more "neurotic" pets as well as experience with medication. One of my cats is 13 years old, so I also have experience with senior care (as well as cat medication, too!). I also recently adopted a guinea pig and am getting a second one very soon, so have experience with “exotic” animals as well! I just moved to the Galesburg area and am currently unemployed, so have wide availability to care for your pets! If I am house sitting, I can typically spend overnight and the majority of the day there! *Note: I am currently on hiatus from house sitting services! I currently do not offer house sitting/boarding in my own home, as my 3 pets aren't comfortable with new animals in their environment. Eventually, I hope to be able to set up a system where I can provide that service! I do have a playpen and door fences that I use for my own dog, so could potentially provide temporary boarding if the circumstance is right! When I come into a home for sitting, I am always acknowledging that I am not only in another person's space but the pet's space as well. I do everything I can to be respectful and aware of boundaries. Following routines to keep the pet comfortable is essential in building the bond!

Dogs who are blind, deaf, seniors, sadly missing a limb or bottom jaw, diagnosed with epilepsy, hip displasiea. I understand special needs dog especially need tender and loving care and I have the patience and understanding to ensure they receive that care. To me, dogs are more than just pets.

About: I used to live on a ranch including dogs and cats. I’ve had many years of caring for them and when anything happens to them, I’m the first one that gets called to get asked what they can do to help them. I am full time Monday-Friday but I would love to take care of your pets after! Anytime after 4:30 will be the best time I can come after work but on the days I’m off, anytime works Whatever the rules are, I will follow them. If dogs are needed to be crated at a certain time, I can do that and if they need free time constantly then I am all for that as well.

About: Hi! My name is Amanda. I have worked in doggie daycare, worked as a bather and in the sales department! At work I got to experience different breeds, temperaments and personalities! My favorite part of my job is building strong relationships with the owners and their dogs! I also have experience dropping in homes while their owners are at work, school or out of town. When I do drop ins I have taken them on walks, picked up after them and fed them. I absolutely love working with all animals! I am known to have great communication skills, I am compassionate , and I am responsible. I pride myself in those traits and look forward to building a relationship with you and your family member! I do have a full time job working with adults with intellectual disabilities. Mon-Fri I do work from 730am-4pm. I am still available during the weekends and can also do house sitting during the days that I work! I will follow their daily routine and make them as comfortable as possible while you are away. While walking them I will keep distance from other animals to ensure their safety. I will also follow all dietary needs and feeding schedules.
