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.

Emily is absolutely wonderful. She kept and cared for my 6 month old puppy while I was out of town for a couple days. My puppy really took to her right away and just loved her. He was happy and content upon picking him up. It was obvious that he was loved and well taken care of. I will definitely use Emily’s services again when I need to go away in the future. I highly recommend her services!

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: Reliable and Loving Dog Sitting Experience As a passionate animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I take pride in providing safe, loving, and reliable care for your furry companions while you're away. My goal is to offer peace of mind to pet owners by creating a comfortable, fun, and stress-free environment for dogs, whether it's just for a few hours or an extended stay. I’ve cared for dogs of almost all breeds and sizes, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing special care. Every dog is unique, and I’m committed to understanding their specific needs, routines, and personalities to ensure they feel at home in my care. I believe in giving each dog personalized attention, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection. One of my most memorable experiences as a dog sitter was caring for a lively Golden Retriever named Max. Max loved his daily walks, playtime in the yard, and cuddling on the couch after a long day. I made sure to stick to his usual routine so he felt safe and comfortable. Whether it was ensuring he got his favorite treats or providing interactive toys to keep him engaged, I always put his happiness first. Max's owners were thrilled to see how happy and relaxed he was when they returned! Beyond just walking and feeding, I offer additional services such as administering medications if needed, sending regular updates, and providing plenty of playtime and snuggles. I am also fully prepared to handle any unexpected situations with a calm and responsible approach. If you're looking for a loving, trustworthy, and experienced dog sitter who will treat your pet like family, I would love to connect and discuss how I can help give your dog the best care possible while you're away! Flexible and Open Dog Sitting Schedule I understand that every pet and owner have unique schedules, so I’m proud to offer an open and flexible availability for dog sitting. Whether you need care for a few hours, a whole day, or overnight stays, I can adjust to fit your needs. General Availability: Weekdays: Open availability from early morning to late evening. I can adjust hours to match your schedule, whether you need morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care. Weekends: I’m available all day, including overnights, so your pet will receive the same level of attention and care during the weekend as during the week. Holidays: I offer care over holidays as well! Please feel free to reach out to discuss your needs for special dates. Last-Minute Requests: I understand that sometimes plans change last-minute, so I do my best to accommodate even short notice bookings based on availability. Custom Schedules: If your pet has a specific routine or requires multiple visits or longer stays, I’m happy to tailor the care to fit. Just let me know what works best for you and your pet, and I’ll make sure everything is arranged to suit their needs. Overnight Stays: If you're going away for a longer period, I offer overnight care where your pet can stay in a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment. When it comes to caring for your beloved pet, I prioritize safety, trust, and providing a comfortable, secure environment at all times. I know how important your dog’s well-being is, and I take great care to ensure they feel loved and protected while you’re away. Safety First: The safety of your dog is always my top priority. I ensure that all pets are kept in a secure and safe environment, whether it’s during walks, playtime, or while staying in my home. I take extra precautions such as: Leash walks in safe, pet-friendly areas to prevent accidents or escapes. Safe and clean living areas, free of hazards that could harm your pet. Always supervising pets during outdoor activities to make sure they stay safe and healthy. Trust You Can Rely On: I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be a big decision. I work hard to build trust with both you and your dog by: Sticking to your dog's routine, including feeding times, exercise, and any special instructions. Providing regular updates via text or photos, so you can see how your dog is doing and feel connected while you're away. Being transparent and responsive to any concerns or special requests you may have during the sitting period. Comfortable and Loving Environment: Creating a calm and familiar environment for your dog is essential to their happiness. In my care, they’ll feel right at home because: I offer a cozy and pet-friendly space with plenty of room for them to relax and play. I ensure lots of one-on-one attention to keep them engaged, happy, and comfortable. For pets with special needs or preferences, I can accommodate specific requirements to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible. Whether you’re going away for a weekend or need long-term care, I am here to provide a loving, safe, and trust-filled experience for your pet. Your dog will be in great hands, and you can enjoy your time away knowing they are well taken care of.

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.

Emily is absolutely wonderful. She kept and cared for my 6 month old puppy while I was out of town for a couple days. My puppy really took to her right away and just loved her. He was happy and content upon picking him up. It was obvious that he was loved and well taken care of. I will definitely use Emily’s services again when I need to go away in the future. I highly recommend her services!

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: Reliable and Loving Dog Sitting Experience As a passionate animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I take pride in providing safe, loving, and reliable care for your furry companions while you're away. My goal is to offer peace of mind to pet owners by creating a comfortable, fun, and stress-free environment for dogs, whether it's just for a few hours or an extended stay. I’ve cared for dogs of almost all breeds and sizes, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing special care. Every dog is unique, and I’m committed to understanding their specific needs, routines, and personalities to ensure they feel at home in my care. I believe in giving each dog personalized attention, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection. One of my most memorable experiences as a dog sitter was caring for a lively Golden Retriever named Max. Max loved his daily walks, playtime in the yard, and cuddling on the couch after a long day. I made sure to stick to his usual routine so he felt safe and comfortable. Whether it was ensuring he got his favorite treats or providing interactive toys to keep him engaged, I always put his happiness first. Max's owners were thrilled to see how happy and relaxed he was when they returned! Beyond just walking and feeding, I offer additional services such as administering medications if needed, sending regular updates, and providing plenty of playtime and snuggles. I am also fully prepared to handle any unexpected situations with a calm and responsible approach. If you're looking for a loving, trustworthy, and experienced dog sitter who will treat your pet like family, I would love to connect and discuss how I can help give your dog the best care possible while you're away! Flexible and Open Dog Sitting Schedule I understand that every pet and owner have unique schedules, so I’m proud to offer an open and flexible availability for dog sitting. Whether you need care for a few hours, a whole day, or overnight stays, I can adjust to fit your needs. General Availability: Weekdays: Open availability from early morning to late evening. I can adjust hours to match your schedule, whether you need morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care. Weekends: I’m available all day, including overnights, so your pet will receive the same level of attention and care during the weekend as during the week. Holidays: I offer care over holidays as well! Please feel free to reach out to discuss your needs for special dates. Last-Minute Requests: I understand that sometimes plans change last-minute, so I do my best to accommodate even short notice bookings based on availability. Custom Schedules: If your pet has a specific routine or requires multiple visits or longer stays, I’m happy to tailor the care to fit. Just let me know what works best for you and your pet, and I’ll make sure everything is arranged to suit their needs. Overnight Stays: If you're going away for a longer period, I offer overnight care where your pet can stay in a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment. When it comes to caring for your beloved pet, I prioritize safety, trust, and providing a comfortable, secure environment at all times. I know how important your dog’s well-being is, and I take great care to ensure they feel loved and protected while you’re away. Safety First: The safety of your dog is always my top priority. I ensure that all pets are kept in a secure and safe environment, whether it’s during walks, playtime, or while staying in my home. I take extra precautions such as: Leash walks in safe, pet-friendly areas to prevent accidents or escapes. Safe and clean living areas, free of hazards that could harm your pet. Always supervising pets during outdoor activities to make sure they stay safe and healthy. Trust You Can Rely On: I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be a big decision. I work hard to build trust with both you and your dog by: Sticking to your dog's routine, including feeding times, exercise, and any special instructions. Providing regular updates via text or photos, so you can see how your dog is doing and feel connected while you're away. Being transparent and responsive to any concerns or special requests you may have during the sitting period. Comfortable and Loving Environment: Creating a calm and familiar environment for your dog is essential to their happiness. In my care, they’ll feel right at home because: I offer a cozy and pet-friendly space with plenty of room for them to relax and play. I ensure lots of one-on-one attention to keep them engaged, happy, and comfortable. For pets with special needs or preferences, I can accommodate specific requirements to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible. Whether you’re going away for a weekend or need long-term care, I am here to provide a loving, safe, and trust-filled experience for your pet. Your dog will be in great hands, and you can enjoy your time away knowing they are well taken care of.
