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.
About: I have spent my entire life caring for animals. Throughout my life I have had many animals from birds and Guinea pigs to cats and dogs. Koda, my youngest dog was completely trained by me in German commands. Working with dogs to learn new things is one of my favorite things to do. My oldest dog, Motley is a senior and the past couple years I have become very educated and trained on administration of medication and post surgery care. With experience from my own pets, I have many reliable references I have gained over the years that can vouch for me on my loving, dedicated, and superior care with their fur babies. I am currently a nanny and have almost completely open availability. I work Monday through Thursday during the day but can still do visits anytime! And I’m off Friday through Sunday so anytime those days as well! When visiting your home I am happy to provide any services you may need for your pet. This includes special feeding instructions, medication distribution, daily walks, baths, guaranteed playtime, and more all while treating them as my own with so much love! I am also happy to do drop in visits while you are at work or walks to get your babies steps in.

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.
“She was wonderful with Radar! Had no problems, walks went well, even got pictures of his stay. She kept us up to date on how he was doing on his stay. We did not have worry one bit. We are definitely using her again for future stays for Radar. Highly recommend her!”

Many of my clients have animals with medical needs, anxiety, blindness, mobility challenges, or strict routines, and they trust me to provide compassionate, detail-oriented care while they’re away. I’m also very comfortable with multi-pet households, rural properties, and farm animals. Having grown up on a farm myself, I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for animals large and small, as well as maintaining a home and property with respect and reliability.

This allows me to be fully present for feedings, walks, playtime, medication needs, and individualized routines, while also offering flexibility for pets who need extra time, patience, or reassurance.

About: I've had pets my whole life, from birds, reptiles, and fish to dogs, cats and rodents, so I know my way around various pets and how to take care of them, as such any special needs won't be too far out of my expertise. When it comes to dogs I've taken two puppies of mine to training classes and am willing to work with whatever training you have in place with your dog, whether that is working on correcting behaviors like jumping or continuing to teach them certain tricks while you're away, I will try my best to make sure they stay on the right track! Cats are the kind of pet I've had for the longest and know the best, even though none of mine so far have been major trouble makers I know how fickle some can be. I'm not afraid to do the occasional litterbox clean if needed or to keep an eye on them during their occasional zoomies. Currently my schedule is pretty flexible, I'm available any day from noon to midnight so if you need someone to check in on your pet overnight I'm available! I'm willing to work with any dietary needs and/or restrictions your pet has and as I've given medications to my pets before I would be able to give your pet any if they needed it during my visit. I'm big into teaching my dogs how to be respectful on a walk so I would be willing to continue any on walk training you may have!

About: Although I haven’t owned cats myself, I grew up around them through friends and became very comfortable with their different personalities and needs. I have also cared for my sister’s and her roommate’s cats, providing feeding, playtime, and companionship while they were away. I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of each cat’s comfort level, whether they are social or more independent.
About: I have a 9-year old cat that I adopted from the animal shelter when she was about 6 months old. I have dealt with behavioral issues in cats, from scratching and biting to peeing outside the litter box. I understand feline body language and how to respond appropriately. I will respect your cat’s personal space and also give them attention when they are seeking it. I’d be happy to play with your cat and provide care based on their individual needs.
“Terri is literally the best. My kitty boys took right to her from the initial visit. She plays and loves on them in addition to their daily needs. Picture mail is great. Will definitely use her anytime we need a sitter.”
“Erin was wonderful with our cats while we were on vacation. She sent us pictures and let us know they were doing okay, which was so nice. She has extensive experience with animals and we felt more than comfortable with her watching our girls. Highly recommend!”
About: I provide reliable, low-stress care specifically for cats. I understand how important routine and a calm environment are, so I keep visits consistent and respectful of each cat’s space and personality. I work in healthcare, which has made me highly detail-oriented, dependable, and consistent in following routines—qualities I bring into every visit. Each visit includes feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and a quick wellness check. I adjust interaction based on your cat’s temperament, whether they prefer play, affection, or a quieter presence. I focus on clear communication and reliability so you can feel confident your cat is comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I am fully insured for pet care services.
About: I provide calm, consistent care for dogs and cats so they can stay relaxed and comfortable while you’re away. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your animal is safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. I also have current experience caring for larger animals (including horses), and have the ability to read body language and handle animals calmly and confidently. You can expect regular updates, and thoughtful care while your pet is with me. I also have experience as a pet and horse photographer, so I naturally capture calm, genuine moments to share while you’re away. I prioritize routine with your pet, so I take a limited number of bookings at a time. Morning: 7:30–10:30 AM Midday: 12–4 PM Evening: 5–9 PM (Friday and Saturday only) Overnight stays are considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on scheduling and your pet’s specific needs. I prefer to care for pets in their home so routine and stress levels are kept consistent and low. I follow instructions closely, adjust to each pet’s needs, and prioritize safety. You can expect dependable communication and updates while you’re away.
About: I think one of the main things that would set me apart maybe from others is that I have plenty of time I am extremely patient and I’m actually willing to listen to you and be patient with your animal!! This fits into my schedule because currently I am getting ready to go to my next semester of college as a entrepreneur and I have plenty of time on my hands, I love animals with the patience to understand them and with knowing how to properly take care of animals I know how to properly deal with unsatisfactory behavior with also knowing how to properly reward good behavior along with knowing how to deal with animals around other animals and I’m all around a great choice to watch your best friends! I treat and train my fur babies with respect and of course love them unconditionally and listening to their behavior instead of just acting on impulse and have a stable balance of spending time with my animals and other things.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I rescued my pit mix, Hattie 6 years ago. I also just added Ollie (6 month red heeler mix) to my family from PCH. He started as a foster but grew on us! I still open my house to other fosters, I currently have a 2 month catahoola mix pup until he finds his forever home. I work at Rivian. I am able to stop by early in the morning or in the evenings for walks and feedings. My weekends are opens. I have a fenced in yard. My dogs typically just go out there. My pit mix is a puller so we do not go on many walks but the pup loves walks.
“I liked working with Chloe, she’s super nice and kind. We were able to communicate well and adjust accordingly due to my work schedule changing. She was punctual and my pups liked having her ☺️. I will definitely reach out again in the future. Thank you Chloe”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Friends and family call on me to watch their animals because I am so good natured with them and love teaching trucks and giving baths I currently do not work so I would be available to e other take of your dog during the day in your home or for overnight any day of week I would follow instructions of the pets owner on how they wish their pet to follow the same routine they do on a daily basis
“Heather is fantastic! She went above and beyond to ensure my pets’ care while I was away. Heather treated my pets as they were her own, stayed in close contact every visit with photos and updates. Heather asked about making a judgment call that would allow better comfort for my pets as well. I have not known another pet sitter who cared more for my pets. Next time I am away, Heather is my pet sitter again.”

About: I have experience working with a variety of animals, including exotic species. I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I have a cat of my own and also dog-sit for family members on occasion. I’m passionate about providing safe and loving care for every pet.

For social pets, supervised playtime with the family dog can also be arranged if desired. Please let me know your preferences regarding interactions with other dogs or cats.
“Lindsay is absolutely amazing with my spunky, crazy husky! She watches her one day a week to give us a break and give her lots of love and play time. She also watched her for a long weekend. I am very picky on who watches my little girl and I have full confidence every time I drop her off!”
About: I started pet sitting when I worked at my first vet clinic. And, because I love animals so much, I have never stopped. I grew up with dogs, cats, ducks and every pet in between! Currently, I have 2 dogs, a Jack-Russell mix named Jake and a Beagle mix named Macy. They are extremely pet/people friendly and they love new company! Also, I worked as a veterinary assistant for a a few years, so I am very comfortable with administering medications and taking care of your pets special needs. I will provide whatever accommodations that are needed and I will make sure that your pets feel safe and comfortable. Most of all, I will always keep an open line of communication with you. I know how it feels being away form your pet and I know the importance of regular updates and pics. I look forward to hearing from you and I can’t wait to met your pets! :) 🏡 House Sitting + Boarding 🏡 (Overnight) Evening - Morning; I do offer some flexibility, however there could be an additional fee if check in/out times are drastically different from what I have set. I currently work from home full time. This means I can fully dedicate all of my time to your fur babies and their individual needs. I will care for your pet/pets the same way every single time. And, I will always treat your pet/pets as is if he or she were my own.
“Tito had a such a great time with Kimberly and their dog Baxter. I was able to book with them very easy and were waiting on me when I got there. I'd definitely have Tito stay with them again. I got pictures while he was there and they took him on a nice walk which is his favorite activity.”
About: Animals are my passion and caring for them is my kind of fun! The quality of care and love I provide is reflected in my pricing. I have cared for family, friends and my own pets since 2009 - feeding, watering, training and administering medication. I worked for The Animal Hospital of Monticello from December 2021-September 2023 where I cared for many different breeds of cats and dogs, at many different age and health levels. I am familiar with animal first aid and am regularly educating myself on medical concerns/treatments because health is my #1 priority. I also love to learn about animal behavior (of all sorts-I'm very nerdy), enrichment and training because I believe a mentally and physically happy animal is a healthy one. I also have experience caring for exotic animals including guinea pigs, chinchillas, rabbits, and lizards. I am happy to learn the needs of whatever baby I am caring for! I will not board any exotic animal or cats for their safety, but I'm more than happy to provide stop ins! ***If I do not believe I can care for your pet properly for whatever reason, I may have connections to those who do have the ability and I will be happy to help you find a new care giver.*** I am currently caring for two dogs from my home three times a week M,T, Th. They train, play, eat and snuggle with me all day. I also have a twelve year old, so If we humans have errands, vacations or an emergency-I let the pet parents know as far in advance as possible. I have two very friendly Australian Shepherd type dogs, an 12 year old human child, a husband and a cat of my own. (Somehow we all get along!) Your fur baby will have the comfort of lots of friends nearby if they come to stay with us. I do require dogs to be up to date on all vaccinations, dog & cat friendly and kennel trained if boarding with me. (So during quiet times they have a familiar, safe and secure place for them to go if they're feeling overwhelmed, or if I need to separate anyone for any reason. I also believe it's simply safer for the dog in case of an emergency.) All animals are allowed on the furniture and often I will find myself snuggling on the couch with the babies. My family also has knowledge on animal care and handling so your fur baby will be under the best care no matter who is in the room. When stopping in I will spend 30 or 60 minutes with your pet baby (depending on your choice: there is a up charge for 60 minutes) feeding, watering, playing, pottying and walking. When choosing the 60 minutes I will also do basic obedience and manners training with your dog. I could try with cats but I can't guarantee my results. I also love pet photography so taking photos of your babies will be a free service offered along with their stay or stop ins. This will NOT be guaranteed every time.

About: Hi! I am reliable, friendly and very flexible with my schedule. Dog sitting has been the thing I didn’t know I needed in my life! I wish I could have one of my own but it’s not the right time for me. I would love to care for your pet. I helped raise/train my childhood dog, have taken care of puppies, deaf animals, and gained the approval of a very protective and anxious Doberman with lots of patience and attention (my greatest accomplishment). Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with utmost care to keep you and your pet happy! I am a fine artist with a MFA in painting, and I take on interior design and other creative jobs as a freelancer. I will be traveling starting August 25th, but will be back late November. I love being outside, exercising, and hanging at parks, so I’m glad to be joined by a pup and will give them all the love. My routine already involves walks/runs outside and being home a lot, so it fits in great! When i’m not working, I am exercising, planning, making art and reading. I am very available to provide proper pet care and give pets the attention they need. My schedule changes by the days and weeks. In caring for the pet in their home, I make sure to know where everything is that I need and respect the home in making sure the pet doesn’t make a mess.

This allows me to be fully present for feedings, walks, playtime, medication needs, and individualized routines, while also offering flexibility for pets who need extra time, patience, or reassurance. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s what my days are built around. Safety, trust, and comfort are the foundation of every service I provide. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize calm, consistency, and close supervision. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs so their care feels familiar and stress-free. In my home, pets are welcomed into a clean, secure, and peaceful environment with plenty of space to relax and play. Supervised outdoor time is provided in a safely contained area, and all interactions are thoughtfully managed to ensure each animal feels comfortable and respected. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the utmost care and follow instructions precisely to maintain the pet’s normal routine. With over 20 years of hands-on animal care experience, including veterinary assistant training, I am confident administering medications, supporting senior pets, and caring for animals with special needs. I maintain clear communication, provide regular updates, and care for every pet as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and genuine love.

“Corbyn is FANTASTIC! She is a very experienced dog trainer and did so well with my energetic 6 month old golden doodle. My dog is struggling with leash walking but Corbyn was able to easily walk him. We will definitely use Corbyn again! Five stars!”
About: I have worked with pets for over 15 years. Growing up, I had five dogs between two households, and now I have a 2 year old pup of my own! I have lived with dogs of all sizes, ranging from dachshund to golden retriever! Through the years, friends and family have trusted me to exercise, bathe, and feed their pets. I attended puppy training sessions with my corgi and golden retriever, so I have some experience with common skills such as sitting, lying down, and staying in one place. My dogs are my entire world, and I promise to treat your pet as if it were my own. I am currently an unemployed college student, so I have plenty of free-time to spend with your pets. My availability for exercising/taking your pet out throughout the week is as follows: Monday 12-6, Wednesday 9-10 & 2-6, Thursday 11:30-6, Friday 9-6. If you need pet care earlier or later on these days, please reach out and I will do my best to workout a time with you. When I come to pick your dog up for their walk, I will leash them and walk them around an area you desire. Regular collars are fine, but harnesses are even better since they are more secure. I will carry water for your pet, and make sure their water/food bowl is filled upon return. I will spend some time playing with your pet and making sure they are relaxed before I take off. If your dog is crated when you are not home, I will lure them into their crate in whichever way you desire.

I am a full-time student at Richland who works part-time at a dog boarding place mainly during the weekends. My class load is typically three to four days a week. I have a fenced in yard at my house. At clients house if no fenced yard I can take them for a walk or play with them inside to help get their energy out.
About: Hi everyone! I am 28 years old and work as an elementary school teacher. During the summers I enjoy staying as active as possible. I enjoy long walks, running, and being around others. Throughout my life I have always loved pets! My family had a cockapoo that I have grew up playing with and caring for. Currently my boyfriend and I have a lab named Finn. Many other people close to me have pets that I am often around as well. I have dog sat in the past for multiple families and have absolutely loved it! It is always fun meeting and playing with new dogs. I would love to get to know your dog and would be happy to walk, play with, or dog sit him or her! 🐶 I have the summer free, so free to watch/ walk your dog any time. We can accommodate in our house, or I can come to your house as well. If your pup stays at our house we will make sure our dog gets along with yours. We will take great care of your pup and treat it like our own ❤️
“Terri has been great with my 2 1/2 year old golden retriever. She provides loving and honest care for my pup every day that she is scheduled. I highly recommend her if you need someone to treat your dog like their own.”
About: I have been an animal lover since I was a kid. Rescuing chickens, rabbits, cats, horses - you name it! In my adult life, I took some time away from pets while obtaining my Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry. The first thing I did after relocating to Decatur, IL for my job, was adopt an unwanted adult shelter cat that resided at Animal Control for months, Spider. He is still with me - 11 years later. I have learned the reasons why Spider was surrendered. It inspired me to get involved with animal rescue in the community. I have adopted and fostered puppies, dogs, kittens, and cats. I have probably dealt with nearly every type of cat or most cat disabilities at this point - and if not, am extremely willing and able to learn. My feline resume includes sight and hearing impaired, sick, diabetes, incontinence, behavioral issues, MORE... I am a huge believer of positive reinforcement training for dogs. If you follow dominance training or negative reprimanding, we will not get along. I have taken two doggos through AKC CGC certification awards and other courses. My personal dog, Timber, suffers from several health issues including hypertension - which caused enucleation of both eyes; chronic rhinitis; and gingival hyperplasia. I am very used to paying attention to the subtle signs of dogs when medical issues arise. Currently, i am working from home, but transitioning back to in-person office work soon. When I return back to work, my schedule does offer a lunch break and reasonable flexibility. Interestingly, all of my puppy fostering has been pre-COVID/work-from-home! My home offers a fenced-in yard. We always walk pets on-leash. In side the home, we have options for crating and our home has several doors to close off rooms to create separate safe spaces, if needed. We also have several baby gates. Crating is very useful for at least feeding times. Our resident dog, Timber, eats in his crate, and he is trained to go there if he gets stressed - even though he is blind. I can often watch cats here in a spare room. Although, I do think cats are happiest at their homes with daily visits, if an option. In a client home, I would like to try to stick the schedule the pets are used to. Arranging a visit to understand the home layout, where things are kept, and meeting the pets are very important to me. I am happy to arrange multiple visits or stay at the house, depending on the needs of the clients and pet(s).

And I’m off Friday through Sunday so anytime those days as well! When visiting your home I am happy to provide any services you may need for your pet.
