Steve picked up our dog and dropped him off at our house which was a lifesaver due to my car situation or lack thereof at the moment. I gave him a nice tip since Rover doesn’t take fees from tips. I highly recommend Steve. He is super attentive to our dog and gives me lots of updates throughout the day . Thanks again Steve.

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!

I would 100% recommend erin! She is absolutely the best with our baby boy thor. Our dog could be a handful at times but he is the sweetest. You could just tell that they bonded for just even a few days we left him. I would not hesitate to leave him with her cause I know she will take good care of our boy! ?

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.

I was traveling through the area with my 4 legged son Ruger and had a noodling tripped scheduled last minute and needed a sitter for him. Stephen was quick to respond and willing to hang out with Ruger for the day. I had an unforeseen incident which caused me to need to push the pick up time out a couple hours and Stephen was very understanding and flexible!

Huckleberry had a wonderful time with Leann. She is such a nice person and I completely trust her taking care of Huck. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. Not only did I find an amazing person to take care of my puppy when I’m away, but I think I made a new friend too! Thank you!

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.

I can pop in a couple times during the week or stay longer if needed. I do have animals at home so extended days will need to be talked about. I have a large yard that I can take your dog out to play in! There is also a park with a bunch of trails nearby!

I keep the environment light and I try to accommodate in anyway for my clients and their babies(dogs).
