“Jason and his family were incredible. They sent pictures and our dogs were completely happy. Cannot say enough wonderful things about this amazing family. Thank you jaz so much. Carena”
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.
“Stephanie took great care of my dog; he gets really anxious around new people but during his stay he had a great time. She is very communicative and kept me in the loop with pictures and updates. I would highly recommend her!”
“Jamie was very kind and took great care of our dogs. She sent pictures of them and kept us updated while we were gone. They liked her and had a great time. We would definitely come back again.”
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.
“Gabrielle took GREAT care of our dog while we were on vacation! She kept us updated, sent lots of pictures, and made sure he got plenty of walks. We will definitely be rebooking!”
“JyZaree took excellent care of my senior dog. JyZaree communicated frequently. My dog got plenty of outdoor time and play time. My dog got along great with her dogs, which is important. I was quite pleased and I hope to be able to have JyZaree dogsit for us again, soon.”

“Mallory was amazing with our cat. She checked in on him to feed him and clean the litter box daily. He was hospitalized for a urinary blockage previously so we have to keep a close eye on him to make sure he's eating his prescription diet and urinating regularly. It was such a relief to have someone we could depend on while we were gone. She kept us updated the whole trip and sent us tons of pictures.”
“Xinia was amazing to work with, she went above and beyond for us while we were out of town for the holiday weekend. We were super happy with her communication and with her care for our pups. Would definitely recommend and will book again!”
“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‼️”
“Kyle put us at ease about leaving our fur babies. All the pictures were amazing and we were kept up to date about everything. Kyle is highly recommended by us and I am so grateful for Kyle coming over and taking care of our pets.”

“Mallory was great. She was very responsive and was able to help us out on very short notice. She sent pictures and made sure everything was as taken care of when she left.”
About: I am passionate about my love for animals and enjoy meeting as many as I can. As someone with several pets myself I understand it can be difficult to find care that is both reliable and affordable, so I am priced to accommodate multi-pet families. No matter how many pets you have or what kind, I will care for them like they’re my own. I work night shifts from home, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I spend a lot of time with my own pets and there is never a dull moment, they keep me entertained. I am almost always fostering cats/kittens, which unfortunately does make me unable to provide care in my own home at this time. I’m a big fan of the Buddy System and bring my partner with me to all new client meet & greets as a safety precaution. Jakob is a Rover-verified sitter and animal lover. He’ll give your pets extra attention while he gives me peace of mind. As far as the pets themselves are concerned, every animal I’ve ever met has had their own unique personality with unique needs. Please let me know ahead of time if there are any specific safety concerns you know of so I can tailor my care to whatever will be best for your pet(s).
“Both of my dogs eagerly await Brandi's visits. She walks my puppy, gives treats to my senior chihuahua, and sends me a detailed summary along with great pictures. I love knowing my pets are safe and well taken care of with Brandi.”
About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets, from dogs and cats to lizards and spiders, I love them all! I have grown up with dogs and cats as well as a turtle, hermit crabs, a chinchilla, ferret, and many more. For training to senior-pet experience, look no further! Big or small, I love them all! Currently looking to go back to school, my schedule is as flexible as you need it to be. I’m happy to apply your pets’ schedule to my day to day routine. I will be caring for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Ensuring your home is maintained during your absence is a top priority!
“Xinia kindly came to the house a few days ahead of time to introduce herself to the hounds before our scheduled appointment. Xinia came to my home to let the dogs out for a potty break and to burn off a little energy on a day I had to leave for an extended period of time. She made certain they had water and sent pictures of her time with my hounds. I will definitely reserve with Xinia in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I have experience with everything from playful puppies to seniors needing extra care and attention. I understand how important routines, patience, and love are when it comes to making pets feel safe and happy. Your pets will be treated like family in my care. I offer flexible boarding for pets who are comfortable hanging out at home during the day. I make sure everyone gets their energy out in the mornings, has a safe space while I’m at work, and then gets lots of love, potty breaks, and playtime in the evenings and on weekends. I treat every pet like family and make sure they’re safe and happy while you’re away. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or just a calm place to relax, I’ll make sure they’re cared for like one of my own.
About: I've worked with dogs for 7 years now. Helping family and friends with pet care and training as well as eventually branching out to occasionally taking dog training clients. I am currently studying with the International School of Canine Psychology and would love to make dog training and walking a full time business. I foster as well! I am currently studying with the ISCP and taking on private clients so I will be available friday, saturday, and sundays after 11am! In the near future, there will be more days available for services. As a walker, I ensure your dogs safety through gear checks to ensure harnesses or collars fit properly and to make sure the leash is properly attached. I also am very diligent and observant of my surroundings when I'm out with my personal dogs and client dogs. Safety is key! I will also bring a small backpack with water, a collapsible bowl, waste bags, and a small emergency first aid kit for dogs.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8 ranging from Chihuahas to Mastiffs. I would not mind actually getting a part-time job for my love for dogs either. I am currently going to school and my school schedule is pretty open. All I do after school is hang out with my family afterwards. Alas, I can not board any animals in my household at this time. Possibly sometime in the future, I possibly could. Only time will tell though.
