About: I’ve had a dog of my own since 2018, Ciri and I started when she could fit in my hand. Since then, I’ve added two more dogs to the home and it’s come in all types. I’ve dealt with them deathly sick, scared, nervous, hyper, and sleepy. I work full time at SIUC, but my friend and roommate is a retired Army veteran who spends most of his time at home. Unless something very unexpected happens, the dogs are not left alone for more than 4 hours. My house has two separately fenced in yards and I have three friendly dogs of my own and my roommate has one cat. We’re laidback and at constant war with husky hair, but we get by with optional crating and indoor and outdoor time whenever your pup needs it.

About: Cats are such an intelligent species and we should be so honored that they allow us to take care of them. (I think my cat stole my phone there^) 😂 I have cared for cats (my own and others) since I was 16. Cats are often portrayed as the easier pet due to them not having to be walked like a dog. I feel that is a very common misconception, cats require lots of attention and stimulation due to high prey drive. If you’re hiring someone to care for your kitty while you’re away your expectation is that they will get the same level of care and attention that you would give them and I can assure you I would wear them out, so no kitty’s are left feeling bored or pent up.

“Kyla was wonderful with our 2 cats. Her time was flexible and she was easy to book with over Christmas. During our initial meet and greet, the natural way she interacted with both Magik and Spooky, learning her history with animals, and her authenticity put my nerves at ease. During our time away, Kyla kept us up to date on her visits, how our cats were doing and included pictures. When we returned home, both cats were happy doing great. Kyla will be our go to anytime we are away.”


“Mallory was great at communication, and following instructions. She was very kind and gave updates/showed photos. She took great care of my cat while I was away, and i felt very much at ease with her!”

“Alicia did just an outstanding job with Lucky our cat during our 10 day trip! From the twice-daily pics she sent, we could quickly see that Lucky had a new best friend and really enjoyed their visits together! Alicia even went out of her way to clean up an oops! Lucky made by eating a little too quickly...See was extremely conscientious in her work & went out of her way to make sure the house was secure & safe for us! We will definitely use her services again‼️”

“Kayla was an excellent companion for my two cats while I was away. She followed my instructions and went above a beyond by making sure to keep me posted with photos of their wellbeing. She made sure they accepted her as a friend and and didn’t just feed them and leave.”


About: I’ve taken care of all ages of cats since I was a child. My neighbors, friends, and colleagues have asked me on numerous occasions to watch their furry friend. I’ve even watched someone’s cat for 3 months while they were on an extended vacation.
