“Ashley and her husband were amazing. We drove to her home beforehand and she gave us a tour of her home. She kept me up to date with pictures of my pup through his stay and I could tell he was very well taken care of. We will definitely be hiring Ashley for all our pupsitting needs. Highly recommend her!”
“Darcie was AWESOME! This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier. She watch my two dogs for a week and was communicative and sent photos the whole time. She has a sweet pup of her own that was great with my dogs. The cherry on top was her home and family were both so warm. It felt like leaving my dogs with a friend.”
“I feel so grateful that I found someone like Genna to watch my English Setter. He plays beautifully with her dog and is treated like part of their family. She gives him the love and care that gives me peace of mind when he's with her. The huge, fenced in backyard is another plus.The photographs and video she sends on a regular basis make me smile. I highly recommend Genna to anyone looking for an outstanding sitter for their dog!”

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!”
“Mary is literally the best pup sitter. She takes such care of our pup like he is her own. You can tell her heart belongs to the dogs she sits for by how she takes care of them. You won't be sorry for choosing Mary.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since the ripe age of 7 with basic care of water/food in bowl and every 2-4hrs of potty. Whether it was friends or family. Didn't start going professional till 15 with babysitting for children and their family pups! For cats, I own a cat myself and been taking care of her for 8 years. With consistent of litter changes, basic necessities and cuddles! I am free majority of the summer before college. Tuesday's will not be free. But for majority of the week, I'm available as early as 10:00Am till late nights I have a fenced yard for your dog to run around in. I have one female lab and one male Chihuahua that are friendly and can interact with other dogs. (Also have one female cat!) My home is very much spacious, if your dog needs to be crated as well!
“Carol was organized and asked a lot of great questions to ensure my dog was comfortable and happy. I am embarrassed to admit that my dog panicked at the meet and greet and immediately went to the bathroom in her house. She just had been mostly cooped up during the pandemic and a new house with new people just freaked her out. I was surprised Carol was still willing to watch her, but she took all this in stride. I could tell my dog was bonding with her throughout the week. I highly recommend this understanding and thoughtful sitter! I know she's going to be my first choice from now on.”
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.

About: In my household, I have always been the one to take care of our cats, whether they were mine or not. Ive bottle fed babies, and given senior and sick cats medicine. I love all animals, but I have always found a strong connection with cats!
“Ashley did an excellent job watching my dog. She sent me pictures and updates just so I would know he was being taken care of. She even had frozen carrot treats for him. I definitely recommend her and will use her servives again.”
About: I’ve had cats in my household since I was a child, but my experience caring for cats truly expanded in 2020 when I began fostering kittens of various ages. In 2021, I took my passion further by working as a veterinary assistant, gaining hands-on experience with medical care and daily cat needs. Most recently, in 2024, I worked as a kennel technician at a local animal shelter while on break from college, where I cared for cats of all personalities and health backgrounds. I am trained in administering medications, handling cats of all ages and temperaments, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I would love the opportunity to bring this experience and care to your furry family members.
About: I’ve cared for my own two cats, Jolene and Soup for over five years and have been around friends’ and family’s cats for more than eight. Over the years, I’ve learned how to meet each cat’s unique personality and needs with patience and understanding. I have experience with nail trimming, brushing, enrichment and playtime, and administering medication when needed. I also take care of litter box maintenance and keeping cat areas clean and comfortable. One of my own cats is on the shy side, so I’m very comfortable working with skittish or nervous cats and giving them the gentle patience they need to feel safe. I’m confident in reading feline body language and building trust over time. I’m open to caring for cats of all ages and temperaments (though I have a bit less hands-on experience with very young kittens under 4 months). My goal is to make every cat feel secure, cared for, and loved!
About: Cats are such special animals. Having two of my own and helping my neighbors when they’re away, I love the quirky personalities. I know the importance of respecting boundaries and giving them safe places to be themselves. Scheduled feedings, clean litter boxes and engaged play time, I will treat your fur baby as my own.
About: I've had cats my whole life (22 years), so I've had my fair share of cleaning litter boxes, treats, play time, brushing, feeding, etc. I have 3 cats right now and 2 are on medicine (pill and insulin) so I also feel comfortable being able to administer medication to your cat! I love seeing different personalities and colorings in cats and Hi! I’m a dependable and patient pet sitter with a special soft spot for cats having grown up with them! I understand that every cat has their own personality — some are playful and social, while others prefer quiet company and their personal space. I take the time to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for at their own pace. I’m experienced with daily feeding routines, litter box cleaning, playtime, administering basic medications if needed, and giving plenty of attention (or space!) depending on what your cat prefers. 2 out of 3 of my personal cats is on medicine (pill and insulin) so I am no stranger to administering medicine. I also know how important consistency and a calm environment are for cats, especially while their owners are away. I’ll make sure you stay updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for. I will treat every pet like they’re my own and make their time away from you as stress-free as possible as I know I would want the same for my furry babies! I’d love to meet you and your cat!
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 9. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their pets while they were out of town.

“Does a great job keeping my ferrets' space clean for them and keeping up with meds for my cats and ferrets. Is very punctual and I know my pets will get taken care of on schedule when she is booked, which really helps with the stress of being away from my fuzzy guys.”
About: I have experience house/dog sitting. In the past year, I've watched and taken care of three large dogs, a Boxer, and two Labradors, many times. For about two weeks or more depending on the owner's schedule. The boxer has some health issues so I also have some experience with giving medication. I've taken care of two Great Danes who I would classify as loving adorable couch potatoes. I also own two small dogs. My first dog was a Maltese she lived till she was ten but the last year of her life she also had some health issues. I currently have a dog who is also a Maltese Bichon Frise mix who just turned eleven. He is energetic so I'm a very active person and can keep up with your pups too. I understand the importance of giving your pup all the love and attention they need to have a happy life. I will do my very best to provide that for your animals too! I work full time at a car dealership up in the office. I am in the office by 7:00 am and I am typically off by 3:00 pm. I can do late in the evening walks or around when I get off. For drop ins\check ins I could come early in the morning for one and later in the evening for the other on a weekday. As long as it isn't end of month or mid month Fridays I can be off by 1pm. Weekend I am off so I'm more fixable with what I can fit in. I offer drop-in visits and dog walks. During visits, I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and any routine care requested by the owner. During walks, I ensure pets get safe exercise and attention while following their normal routine. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication with pet owners.
“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!!”
About: I’m very comfortable caring for cats and understand that each one has their own personality and preferences.

I have three dogs of my own including a labradoodle and two french bulldogs. I consistently watch all the dogs in my neighborhood and watch my friends cats as well. I also have a lot of experience with puppies due to my family being guide dog raisers for a long period of time. Along with puppies I am also good with senior dogs due to my family choosing to foster a lot of senior dogs. I also have experience and love all sizes and kinds of dogs.

“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.”
About: I’ve never met a dog that doesn’t like me. I donate a bag of treats each stay from my dog’s social media sponsor. We take a walk every single day. I am a teacher so I am out of the house from 7:45am - 4:00 pm Monday-Friday. I have some flexibility to leave early if need be. During lunch break, I use my Furbo camera to talk to my dog and launch a treat for him. I usually take my dog for a walk as soon as I get home from work. Weekends, I am typically home most the day. I have a ranch style single-family home that has a doggy door to a full turf and fully fenced back yard. I have the sweetest Golden Retriever that loves having other doggos come over. Warning: your pet will get lots of love and may not want to leave.
“Genna and her family are wonderful! We were traveling from out of state, and had the opportunity to meet up with some old friends for dinner. We contacted Genna and she opened her home to our senior golden doodle. I was impressed that before saying yes, Genna asked some questions to make sure her home was a good fit. She sent pictures that reassured us that he was doing fine. She has a nice house and a larged fenced yard to insure the safety of your pet. I would absolutely recommend Genna for your pet sitting needs!”

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.

I always make sure they consistently get out to use the restroom. I love spending my time with your cute doggos and making sure they are happy as can be while your away!
About: Going out of town? Want to leave your pet in the comfort of their home rather than boarding them somewhere that stresses them out? Want to leave them with someone who will give them tons of TLC? Then I'm your gal! I have been petsitting for over 20 years, and I've had my own business for 15 years (Happy Tails). I have a lot of energy myself, but am also content to sit around and cuddle, so any energy dog is fine with me! I've taken care of dogs with health needs, administered many medications including insulin shots, liquids and pills, and worked with deaf and blind animals. I have owned and fostered/rescued many animals and many breeds in my lifetime. Please contact me if you're interested, and feel free to check out my Facebook page for reviews (Happy Tails QC). Thank you! As this is my full-time job, I have a lot of time daily to care for your furbabies, & I'm available 365 days a year! I care for pets in the owners home. I come by three times a day for 20-30 minutes each time. I can also do walks!
About: I’ve been around many dogs since I was little. Even viscous ones. But no type of dog scares me. Having a cane corso for about 4-5 years got me to be aware of any type of pets. Being around cats dosent worry me. Just as long as I pay attention to signs on what to and not to do. I work full time with kids and I love pet sitting for one of my friends. But usually after work I love to be around lovely pets. I will walk your dog personally. To be honest, letting a dog out in a yard doesn’t seem like they have much freedom. Taking them on an adventure is the way to do it so they have options. Treat them the way you would want to be treated is my motto.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have had dogs since I was little. I am well versed in knowing what your dog needs and how to go above and beyond your expectation! I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds! From golden retrievers to American bullies! I live a very active lifestyle so your dogs will have the time of their lives when they’re with me! I also have experience caring for cats, Guinea pigs, and rabbits! You can go about your day stress free, knowing that your pet is getting the best care possible! I am clinic RN and am available all day on most weekends or weekdays after 5:30 if needed! Feel free to reach out if the care you need exceeds the availability on my schedule, I do my best to remain flexible and accommodate! I strive to make every animal I am around as comfortable as possible. They will feel the most love and care when they are with me. Your fur babies safety is my greatest concern, and I will make sure that they feel their safest! I will be extremely attentive to make sure that as we are on our walk or just playing outside that there is no danger nearby and that your pet feels at ease!
About: I always had dogs in the house growing up. I treat them like my own kids, and I will do the same for yours! I have a wide variety of experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and behaviors. I'm always looking out for their needs and making sure they are comfortable and happy. We are home at all hours of the day so availability is very flexible! We love to be active and can't wait to play with your pup! I want to give busy owners the comfort and security I would want if a stranger was watching my dog. I will be in touch frequently with photos and updates while caring for your dog.
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.
About: In addition to growing up with dogs as pets, I have also had multiple roommates with dogs over the course of 2 years. I would gladly help them walk/feed/pet sit their dogs. I love all animals and would be happy to pet sit for you! Hey there! I work from 8 am - 5 pm during the weekdays. I’m free before and after work for pet care. I’m available all days of the week! I am very respectful of other people’s spaces & boundaries. I also babysit so I have worked in clients’ homes before. I am very go with the flow- if there are any rules/guidelines I should be aware of please let me know!
About: I have had multiple dogs ranging from black labs to Saint Bernards! I have done dog walking here and there for over ten years. I am also a mom to an almost two year old (human) and I am very responsible. I’m currently not working and I am a student. Due to scheduling with my child’s other parent I am available every other weekend and Tuesday-Wed. Besides time with my child’s and class, I am free to care for your pet! I am very responsible with animals and professional in other peoples homes. I have house sat, cared for pets, and babysat without any issues within the home. I am happy to provide a safe and fun environment for your pet in your home.
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 city, 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 have experience with guinea pigs, rats, rabbits, and reptiles! 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!

“I feel so grateful that I found someone like Genna to watch my English Setter. He plays beautifully with her dog and is treated like part of their family. She gives him the love and care that gives me peace of mind when he's with her. The huge, fenced in backyard is another plus.The photographs and video she sends on a regular basis make me smile. I highly recommend Genna to anyone looking for an outstanding sitter for their dog!”

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!

She will always be my first choice whenever help is needed again!”

With consistent of litter changes, basic necessities and cuddles! I am free majority of the summer before college. Tuesday's will not be free.

“Joe was really great with my dog who has separation anxiety. He took the time to let her get comfortable and trust him. He also checked in throughout, which gave us peace of mind!”
“Armani is an amazing pet sitter. She looked after pepper for a weekend and it was the most stress free pet sitting experience. She was very good at communicating and sent lots of pictures. She even bought pepper toys and treats. Amazing experience. Definitely gonna rebook!!!”
“Luna had a great time at Terry’s with his other pups. It was nice to know she was in good hands and good company while we were out town. I will gladly have Terry watch her again next time we need someone!”
“This was our first experience with the Rover app and Shannon taking care of Maggie. It could not have been a better experience! Shannon was great with communication and very timely. We had boarding arrangements elsewhere and they canceled at the last minute. Shannon was quick to reply to my inquiry and helped me navigate the Rover app. The "Meet & Greet" went very well with Maggie meeting Shannon's personal K-9 companions. Right from the start, we were very comfortable and confident that Shannon would take great care of Maggie. She was very personable and kept us informed during our travels with pics/updates. When arriving to pick her up, Maggie was happy & seemingly didn't care that we had returned. It was very obvious that Maggie was well cared for and SPOILED! We highly recommend Shannon and won't hesitate to use her again. (6+ 🌟)”
