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’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.
“My Millie LOVED Briana! She let us schedule a meet-and-greet with her own pups. When we first arrived, Millie was so excited that she ran to the door to go in. When I picked her up, she seemed very happy and content. She was even a bit of a naughty girl and jumped out of the car to tell Briana bye one last time!”

“Alicia did just an outstanding job with Lucky our cat during our 10 day trip! From the twice-daily pics she sent, we could quickly see that Lucky had a new best friend and really enjoyed their visits together! Alicia even went out of her way to clean up an oops! Lucky made by eating a little too quickly...See was extremely conscientious in her work & went out of her way to make sure the house was secure & safe for us! We will definitely use her services again‼️”

About: I’ve had pet dogs my entire life. My beloved childhood dog was a German Shepard named Stella, and the dog I had from my late childhood till recently was my soul dog, a Shih Tzu named Daisy. For as long as I can remember, I have always had a special interest in dog! The Westminster Dog Show is my SuperBowl! I love to learn about specifics of dog breeds and what makes them special/stand apart from the other breeds! I’ve been walking dogs since I was 14 for people around my neighborhood but stopped when schooling became more demanding. It’s something I’ve always loved and I’m ready to get back into! I’m so excited to get to walk the amazing dogs of Southern Illinois! ☺️ Currently in between jobs which gives me plenty time to walk your furry family member! I love short walks and long walks, and also exploring local nature trails! From German Shepherds to Shih Tzu’s, I’ve learned to love dogs of all sizes! Walking your dog is a necessary part of their wellbeing, and I intend to create a safe environment for your dog to enjoy nature and stretch their 4 legs!
