Personalized care for your dog or cat - Cameron

“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!”

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.

“Carson is the best! It was our first time going out of town since we got our cat. The cat is normally shy with new people but instantly took to Carson. Carson was communicative, prompt, took great care of our cat, and sent lots of pictures. It was so nice being able to enjoy our trip knowing that our cat was being well taken care of! Thanks Carson!”

About: I’ve had cats my whole life, from scooping litter boxes to wet and dry food, I know how to give them medications, and provide a well care experience to them.

“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....”

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!

“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.”

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!

I live in a very pet free home where food is put away and nothing dangerous is accessible for my dog or any others to get into.

About: I have been babysitting and dog sitting since I was in middle school, which has given me years of experience in being responsible, attentive, and patient. I love staying active and being outdoors, so I’m always happy to take pets for long walks or keep kids engaged with fun activities. Whether I’m following a specific care routine or just providing some extra playtime, I pride myself on being dependable and treating every home with respect. While my schedule varies with my part-time job, I am very flexible and able to work around my shifts to make accommodations for your pet's needs.

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.

“Glen walked our dog, Gene, for about 2 weeks while I was traveling. He was super responsive and always uploaded pics each day which I always appreciated seeing. I know Gene was very happy to have someone coming by during the day and I was too. I absolutely recommend Glen and will hope to be able to use him in the future when I am out of town!”
