Kassie was fabulous! I was nervous about leaving my 10 yr old dog with a stranger, but after meeting Kassie and her family of pets, I knew she was the right one. She was very attentive to my dog’s separation anxiety. Definitely booking with her again and I highly recommend her!

About: I am a lifelong animal lover living on a working farm, so caring for animals is part of my everyday life. I own dogs of my own as well as livestock, giving me hands-on experience with animals of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Being attentive, patient, and proactive with animal care comes naturally to me. My farm provides a calm, safe environment with plenty of room to explore, run, and play. Dogs staying with me will enjoy lots of fresh air, exercise, and enrichment throughout the day. Whether your dog loves long walks, free time to stretch their legs, or just relaxing in a peaceful setting, I tailor care to their needs and routine. I treat every animal as if they were my own and understand that each pet is unique. From high-energy pups to laid-back companions, I focus on comfort, safety, and plenty of love while you’re away. I am available 7 days a week for boarding. Taking care of animals is my daily job so adding in a few more is no big deal around here. Here is an idea of a daily schedule for your pet: -Morning potty break, breakfast, and walk -Supervised outdoor play with room to run -Midday rest, check-ins, and enrichment -Afternoon walk or playtime -Dinner, evening potty break, and wind-down -Final potty break and bedtime Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Living on a working farm, I am experienced in supervising animals and maintaining a calm, structured environment. Dogs are always monitored during outdoor time, with secure areas for play and exercise. I follow each dog’s individual routine and needs, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, and activity levels. Whether your dog enjoys active play or a quieter pace, care is tailored to them. My farm offers plenty of space to move, explore, and relax in a safe, stress-free setting. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and livestock, I understand animal behavior and take trust seriously. You can feel confident knowing your pet is cared for with attentiveness, consistency, and respect—just like one of our own.

I run around a lot with the babies and for our company but I still have a lot of time throughout the day to make sure your furry one is taken care of. I love being outside and walking with your pet! Walking distance will vary depending on the shape the dog is in, and the area we are walking! I am able to pick the dog up, to take to a walking park near the home or spend time in the home of the pet.

About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was a kid. I have experience in babysitting children. I also take care of Laya our family pet. I also have previous pet sitting experience in Wisconsin. Iny previous experience in Wisconsin, I have asked owners for written instructions on medications, favorite toys, play schedule, vet contacts as well as inquiring about safe ways to enter the house. I have given the quality care for pets including snuggles, walks, and fun games like fetch with their favorite toys and time at the dog park- if permitted by their parents. I am a substitute teacher. I frequently do half days, I'm doing mostly afternoons at my subbing jobs. I am available in the mornings and at 330-8pm for drop in visits and walks I will ask for written instructions on feeding, rules, any medications, and anything else I should know. I will send pictures and videos of what we are doing-walks, how much your pet has eaten, treats, playtime, and playtime.

About: I am a reptile keeper of 20 years with tons of experience with dogs and cats as well. We have had dogs and cats in our house my whole life. I love walking dogs and building a relationship with them as well as caring for other animals and building relationships with them. I can take care of your leopard gecko or I can take care of your pup! I have a Mali Uromastyx that I got as a 9 year old and she is doing great 20 years later. I have also cared for a Fire Skink as well as a rescue Leopard Gecko for years. I’m currently unemployed with a flexible schedule. I can be there for a walk, a game of fetch, a meal, or a snuggle if needed. I can even check on your exotic reptile for you if that’s your thing! I will care for your pets as you care for them. I’m comfortable feeding, giving treats, medicine if needed, crating dogs, feeding reptiles, cleaning litter.

About: I have had a dog for 8 years. This summer I volunteered at the Coles County animal shelter and decided this would be another great way to care for dogs. I’m off work by 3pm each day so I could care for your pet in the evening or anytime on the weekends. I could walk your dog or stop in to play with and feed them. I have references from two friends dogs that I have walked or checked on in their homes. I am also willing to provide character or regular work references.

About: I have a year experience working for a pet sitting company doing house visits and dog walking. During this time I gained a lot of great knowledge on how to properly care for cats and dogs. I have two pets of my own as well. During a house visit I would be sure to feed, water and take them out to potty. I would also make sure to give them plenty of attention if they like that. If you have a cat I can scoop or change litter if needed as well as keep the area clean where the litter box is stored. I am also available for 30 minute walks with your pet to make sure they get the exercise they need. I look forward to hearing from you! I am available 7 am to 1 pm & 4:30 pm to 9 pm Monday through Friday to walk or care for your pet as needed for walks or if they just need checked on. I am only available to care for your pet in your home, I will take great care of them and treat your home with respect.

About: Hi, I'm April! I’m new to the Charleston area. Animals have been a central part of my life for years, both professionally and personally. I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from household pets to wildlife, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry (or scaly) family members. My background includes working as a dog trainer, kennel attendant, wildlife rehabilitation intern, and animal care professional. As a dog trainer, I worked one-on-one with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, helping them learn new skills and overcome behavioral challenges. As a kennel attendant, I provided daily care for dogs, cats, and exotic animals, including feeding, administering medications, exercising pets, cleaning enclosures, and monitoring their health and well-being. I have experience handling everything from energetic puppies to senior pets and dogs with special behavioral or medical needs. Through my work in wildlife rehabilitation, I also gained experience safely handling animals, administering medications, and recognizing signs of illness, stress, or injury. Currently, I am working towards my masters in wildlife biology and research, which has strengthened my attention to detail, responsibility, and commitment to animal welfare. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or simply some extra companionship while you're away, I will treat them with the same care and respect that I give my own animals. I know every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to learn their preferences so they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I also understand how reassuring updates can be while you're away, so I provide regular photos and communication throughout each visit. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

About: I am a proud mother of a 9yr old son and an 15 yr old daughter.. My daughter is usually at school for most of the day. However, caring for both full time I have come to notice animals stimulate both kids and teach them respect, responsibility and routine. We are excited to em"bark" on this new chapter in life and cant wait to start. Together, I believe all 3 of my family unit would not only love, but sincerely enjoy even the smallest and largest pets while their 'parents' are away or just need some attention. With summer upon us - my schedule (and helping hands) have become more flexible. Currently, I am available every day from 6am to 7pm. Holidays, weekends, and every day that ends in "Y"! With respect to the pet , clients home, and specific care needs, I try to always keep an open mind and heart but keeping respect in the foreground.

I’m going to Eastern Illinois University for biological sciences with a pre-vet pathway. I hope to one day be a veterinarian, but I know wherever I go there I will be working with animals! I’m very passionate about what I do, I take pride in my work. I work part-time and my schedule varies , but only a regular of 4-5 hour shifts so I wouldn’t be away for long! I also am a full time student at EIU but I will always work your pet into my schedule and give them the care and love they deserve! We can always work out what days i’m free I can always stop by if I can’t stay longer! I would make sure the house stays clean and would take care of the pets and that’s all. If asked to sweep or water plants I would also do that!

About: I love dogs. Big or small they are smart, intuitive, loyal and good judges of character. We will do different activities depending on your dog's personality, temperament, and age. Wether we go for a walk or play your loved one will get that one-on-one attention they so desperately need. If you need someone to wear out that puppy and make sure they get that good exercise, I'm your girl. If your dog is older and just needs a good pampering, I got you. I am available early mornings, brief afternoons, and late nights 7 days a week. My availability short notice will vary based on how close the pick up and drop off are. I live next to a dog park! And I know lots of other parks and good neighborhoods with nice shady sidewalks for your dog and I to explore. I am willing to share GPS location so you always know where your pet might be while with me.

About: I currently work and have been working at a Vet clinic for about 6 years now. I’ve been pet sitting even longer, about 8 years! I have experience with dogs, cats, rodents, fish, and birds. I also have experience staying overnight, drop-in visits, giving medications, and dog walking. I currently work part-time at a Vet clinic so I will absolutely have time in between, before, or after my 3-4 hour shifts to let out, feed, play with, or walk with your pets! I have been pet sitting for a while and do well with a pet’s instructions and/or schedules whether specific or not! I also care for the houses by cleaning up any messes and following any care instructions from the owners!

About: I have worked with just about every type of animal. I worked as a veterinary assistant for five years and fostered for 10+ years. I have always loved animals and always go above and beyond for my furbabies. I often foster animals in need, as well as adopt animals in need. I honestly just have so much love and compassion to give out to all animals. I cant wait to meet your fur babies and get to know them better! Let me know if you have any questions! I am free most days with the ability to tend to your furbaby's needs whenever works best for you, as I am currently self employed and create my own schedule. I have a fenced in yard with lots of toys and room to run. I spend 2-3 hours outside (depending on the weather) with the pups playing fetch or other games.

About: I have been raised around all sorts of pets ranging from hamsters to dogs of all ages. My parents always expected me to help take care of our dogs and it has always been my responsibility to take care of my own animals. I have also learned a lot about pet care and animal behavior through my own research! I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and living at home. I commute to and from school everyday and my weekends are usually free! I am happy to share my class schedule in order to make sure we are the right fit! I always make sure to meet your animals in a way that they feel comfortable prior to services in order to ensure everyone’s safety. I usually bring treats or a toy so they know I am someone they can trust! I also am able to accommodate to any needs for your pet whether it’s medicine, a specific diet, or if you are working on any specific training with them.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover living on a working farm, so caring for animals is part of my everyday life. I own dogs of my own as well as livestock, giving me hands-on experience with animals of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Being attentive, patient, and proactive with animal care comes naturally to me. My farm provides a calm, safe environment with plenty of room to explore, run, and play. Dogs staying with me will enjoy lots of fresh air, exercise, and enrichment throughout the day. Whether your dog loves long walks, free time to stretch their legs, or just relaxing in a peaceful setting, I tailor care to their needs and routine. I treat every animal as if they were my own and understand that each pet is unique. From high-energy pups to laid-back companions, I focus on comfort, safety, and plenty of love while you’re away. I am available 7 days a week for boarding. Taking care of animals is my daily job so adding in a few more is no big deal around here. Here is an idea of a daily schedule for your pet: -Morning potty break, breakfast, and walk -Supervised outdoor play with room to run -Midday rest, check-ins, and enrichment -Afternoon walk or playtime -Dinner, evening potty break, and wind-down -Final potty break and bedtime Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Living on a working farm, I am experienced in supervising animals and maintaining a calm, structured environment. Dogs are always monitored during outdoor time, with secure areas for play and exercise. I follow each dog’s individual routine and needs, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, and activity levels. Whether your dog enjoys active play or a quieter pace, care is tailored to them. My farm offers plenty of space to move, explore, and relax in a safe, stress-free setting. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and livestock, I understand animal behavior and take trust seriously. You can feel confident knowing your pet is cared for with attentiveness, consistency, and respect—just like one of our own.
