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: Welcome! ✨ My name is Eve, and your fur babies will feel right at home here 💛 I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I currently live on a farm in Makanda with my partner, where we share our home with horses, chickens, ducks, pigs, rabbits, five friendly farm dogs, and two farm cats. Our animals are well-socialized and love meeting new furry friends and people alike. Your pets will have plenty of space to play and explore, with a fenced backyard and lots of open acreage to enjoy safely. We take daily walks around the property, provide lots of love and attention, and enjoy sending photo updates throughout your pet’s stay so you can feel connected while you’re away. No worries if your fur babes can’t come stay with us — I’m also available to travel to you and care for them in the comfort of their own home while you’re away ✨ I treat every animal like family and strive to create a calm, loving, and comfortable environment for each guest 💛 I work from home, mostly available everyday of the week. I can check on your pet throughout the day for walks or simply for hang time. If needed, I’m able to provide animals the proper medication for their individual needs. I’ll always ensure that your fur babies are safe and given adequate attention! I love to give periodic picture updates while going on walks or during play time.

About: I've taken care of dogs my entire life, both young and old! Dogs mean the world to me, and I'd love to support your furry loved ones! I work remotely full-time from home, so I'm able to fit quality pet care easily into my schedule. Since I control my own hours, I can provide frequent potty breaks, walks, and constant companionship throughout the day. I currently have a large fenced yard with a doggy door that gives pets easy outdoor access. I always supervise outdoor playtime to ensure safety and double-check all gates are securely locked before letting any animals out.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of various breeds since I was a child! I am patient and care deeply for all animals. I currently work from home on a flexible schedule. Your pet will never be alone and I will be available for any needs at any time. I have twenty secluded acres on a dead end road that offer plenty of room for your pet to release their energy! They are also welcome inside any time.

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.”

“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.”
