Personalized care for your dog or cat - Galesburg

“My dog had his ‘best vacation’ staying here! I don’t travel often where I need to find him a place to stay—this was the best choice!! He has stayed at the vet before and hated being in a small kennel, he has been to a kennel a couple times, and while taken good care of there—he was separated from being inside a house with a family—what he is used to and what dogs want!!! He is getting older, has medicine he takes and just wants a little love when we were out of town. He quickly made friends with both of their dogs!! Every day I was gone, I received updates throughout the day including pictures showing his fun! I would recommend 100%!! :)”

“Bonnie and Skyler were AMAZING. They took Ozzie in last minute and were accommodating to our needs. They sent us pictures and videos of them playing with Ozzie daily along with their two dogs all getting along. They even washed our dog before we picked him up after they watched him for over two weeks! We will absolutely use them again and again since they included Ozzie part of their little family. We're so glad we found a second home for our little pup.”

“Maleah was so kind and communicative throughout her time watching my three dogs. They are very large animals and a little crazy, but she was even able to take them for walks and play with them each day. I really appreciated the report cards she sent each day with several photos of each dog. Thanks so much for everything!”

“Alexis was a wonderful and communicative sitter for kitties while we were out of town! She played with everyone and sent us lots of pictures, including some very sweet Valentines she made so we wouldn't miss them while we were away. When there was a litter box issue, she let us know right away and we were able to fix the problem before it became a hazard. Would definitely book again!”

About: I have a cat named Yahtzee whine I’ve had since I was 4 years old. I now have found a kitten recently and named him Fig so I have kitten experience as well!

About: I’ve taken care of cats briefly. They’ve never been an issue or too complicated. They are easy to handle for me at least.

“Bailey was absolutely amazing with our dog while gone! I would have her come back anytime!”

“Bailey came thru in a pinch when we needed someone to watch our dog goose over the holidays! She had a super welcoming home and would be great to have any pup around with her family”

“Our puppies love Glen. Because they’ve been walking with him on a regular basis, their muscles are strong and they walk around with a newfound confidence. They have been able to walk farther and farther with each subsequent walk, which makes all of us happy.”

About: Hi! I'm Jenna. The "Me every time I see a dog. Do you share this reaction?" meme with Andy from Parks & Recreation is literally me every time I see a dog. I LOVE dogs, cats, sloths, sea otters and pretty much all animals in general. I have a huge heart and SO much love to give! I am very energetic, bubbly, and outgoing...I would love to meet some doggies (and maybe some humans in the process too) and give them some lovins' and exercise :) I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to walk your pups or play with them outside of my job. I am available for house sitting dogs and cats. I’m generally available in mornings or afternoons around 4 pm. Since I do work a variety of jobs I just need a days notice but I can usually work around your schedule for the most part! I have experience pet sitting in the home and have done jobs where pet parents are out of town for the weekends or for work trips and I am happy to watch the house as well. I have a kitty cat so I wouldn’t be able to fully board but I’m able to take your doggo on walks, to the park, to a patio, etc etc. I can watch the dog at my house in the backyard but wouldn’t be able to take them inside the home.
