“Nate did a great job with Hank. Hank had a great time with Nate and enjoyed his walks. He was thrilled to have a playmate as well! Hank and Nash seemed to really enjoy playing together. It was really nice getting pictures of Nash and Hank playing. We will definitely use Nate again.”

“Sheila has been an amazing dog sitter. She kindly accepted my booking request even at the last minute and also accommodated a last-minute extension without any hesitation. Beanie was very happy playing with her dogs, and the large fenced yard gave them plenty of space to run and have fun. Sheila is very knowledgeable, and I felt completely confident leaving Beanie in her care. I would love to rebook with her the next time I need a sitter.”

“Amber is the best sitter I’ve had for Beanie so far. I’ve rebooked with her multiple times, and every experience has been wonderful. The last time I dropped Beanie off, she was having some diarrhea issues, but Amber handled it so well. She checked with me before feeding her pumpkin, and it really helped Beanie feel better. Beanie absolutely loves spending time with Amber, which gives me so much peace of mind. Amber clearly understands dogs and knows how to care for them with both knowledge and compassion. Dog owners can truly relax and trust that their pets are in great hands with her.”

“Lainey agreed to board my Golden and Aussie last minute and she did a phenomenal job! My Aussie does not like new people and struggles with severe anxiety and fear aggression. I was honest about his behaviors upfront and not once did she seem scared, which is so uncommon, even at dog boarding facilities. Because of her passion for animals, managing behaviors, and training, he had a successful stay and I could enjoy time away without worrying constantly. I can't begin to explain how freeing and relieving that was! I will be using Lainey in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Lainey!! You are such a blessing!”

“Kat and her partner did great with Marv. We had to scramble to get him in last minute for an over night trip so she was okay with skipping the meet and greet. They said he did good but for whatever reason didn’t get along with her dogs. They still took great care of Marv and cuddled him and gave him great care and attention regardless of him not getting along with their dogs. We really appreciated them working with us and taking good care of Marv. Would definitely recommend them to anyone for a good easy to work with dog sitter! They even let us know we can change our settings to find a sitter with no dogs of their own so Marv doesn’t run into any additional issues with other dogs.”

I was able to book on short notice and pickup and drop off when it worked for me. She treated my pups like they were hers and sent pictures of them going to the park, playing basketball, and cuddling up with her. I’m so grateful for such an amazing sitter that truly has a passion for caring for animals.”

About: I grew up with two big Akita/husky’s that were always full of energy but very entertaining! I now have a Pitbul mix that loves to cuddles. People have relied on me to walk, bathe, and watch their pets. I have a steady schedule as a Dental Assistant through out the week. I am available for morning walks with a lot of free afternoons and evenings. I would love to help you out and make sure your fur baby is taken care of while you’re away. As a pet sitter, my main responsibility is to provide quality care for pets in their own homes while their owners are away. Discussing with the owner about their pets needs, habits, and specific requirements.

About: I’ve had pets in the home my entire life; cats, dogs, fish, hamsters and Guinea pigs. I have been the proud owner of a pit bull, pit bull mix, boxer, lab and a St Bernard. I currently have a German Shepherd, Zeus, that is my whole heart. My son and I with help of tons of videos and research have taught our boy 20+ commands/words. I run/walk/hike with him 3-4 times a week in snow/rain/cold/humidity. We actively play and train daily. I put every effort into giving my fur babies the best life possible. I mean, we chose them, they didn’t choose us. I have owned short and long haired cats. I am familiar with the daily grooming for long haired felines. I currently am a cat mom also to a short and long haired. I am very familiar with kitten and puppy care as well. I have a full time job Monday through Friday. I am available week days after 3:30 and all day on Saturday, Sunday and major holidays. I will follow the instructions given to me for drop ins. I certainly wouldn’t put your pet in harms way playing indoors/outdoors or on a walk.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was young, family and friends have allowed me to take care of them. I enjoy taking them on walks, petting them and giving the attention they deserve, and taking care of them. I will treat them just as you would and offer extended stays. For stays longer than 5 days, most I have done is a month and a half as of present, you will return to a clean home 😊 I am strong and able to keep my stability while walking dogs, am able to let them out, feed them, give baths, and offer other services for the home like my interior design skills which is another side business, that can be spoken about, if interested.

About: First off I have owned dogs/cats since I was 8 and I’m a huge pet lover! I have 2 dogs and a cat which are all very loving and well socialized with all types of pets and people! My husband and I have been happily married since 2018 and have 2 children. I am a stay at home wife and mom and love to spoil all fur babies and give them lots of lovings. I’m a big walker and love a good game of fetch, tug of war, frisbee, or just running around with everyone! I have a reliable car so I’m offering at home sitting where I’ll take your pet out every hour if needed and play/take them on walks. I’m also available to just stop by to walk/play with your pet for any desired amount of time. I am completely open and offering doggy day camp where we will play, go for walks, and socialize with other pets and people. My biggest hit is overnight care so if you go on vacation, need a couple nights/days to yourself, emergencies... I’m available to keep your fur baby over night and for long periods of time no matter the circumstance. I do not require your pet be crate trained if I’m sitting at my house or during doggy day camp but if they stay over night I require they be crate trained or atleast potty trained. I’m completely open to sitting/caring for cats or other pets you may have except for reptiles. While your pets are with me I will be working on training them and perfecting manners with consistent treats and praising for good behavior. I’m very patient and love working with animals! I’m extremely flexible and don’t need much notice for thoes times you’re in a pinch! If you choose to leave your pet with me then I guarantee your pet will be well loved and treated with much respect and gentleness!! I am currently a stay at home mom and will have plenty of time to give your fur baby the attention and care they need. We live in a smoke free environment and have 2 dogs and a cat for your kiddos to play with. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I respect your personal space while taking care of your fur baby!

Karen was incredibly accommodating and a happy safe space for my pup. He is disabled and has really bad separation anxiety. He was able to make him feel loved and safe and continuously sent me pictures and updates on him. I highly recommend using him:)”

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: I started caring for pets when I was in high school over 15 years ago for friends who went out of town. I continued offering this service in college and beyond because I loved it. Most of my clients became loyal repeats. My experience and repeat clientele prove that you can trust me with your most loved friends. I will care for them as if they were my own. I strive to provide personalized care for each pet. What activities do they love? I also try to adhere to their normal routine as much as possible, and account for some snuggle time when needed. I want them to feel as safe and happy as possible in my care. Every pet I've cared for a second time was happy to see me when I came back, which is a great compliment in my mind. I work a part time flexible schedule, so have plenty of time to care for animals and can be flexible with visits and in-home care. MESSAGE ME IF YOU LIVE IN MASCOUTAH & I'll offer you a discount! If you live in Fairview or the far end of O'Fallon I may need to account for an additional fee because #gasprices. My care is personalized to each family's individual needs based on their pet(s) and environment. Let's talk about what you are looking for, odds are I've done it before.

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.

“Peggy is exactly the person you want taking care of your pets. She is patient, relaxed, and full of love! She has a dog of her own, Peanut, and offers to do an introduction before your booking to make sure all animals are comfortable. My days are somewhat unpredictable and Peggy was always accommodating and patient with my schedule. Maple would rush to her door each day in anticipation. We feel so lucky that Maple has been under such great care for the past 2 weeks!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15 years old for family and friends. I have experience with overnight stays at clients' houses as well as boarding at my own house and experience with puppies and senior dogs. I live an active lifestyle and love going for walks and runs with your furry friend. It is my goal to give your pet the exceptional care they'd receive from their own owner and love them well while you're away! I am home for the majority of the day during the week and have frequent weekend availability as well. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to assist at all hours of the day. I have an unfenced yard, but live close to walking trails and in a quiet neighborhood. I have children who adore dogs and look forward to being around them. Our sunroom is a great place for your animal to curl up and enjoy a nap in the sunshine.

About: I have owned K9’s all of my life. I absolutely adore dogs of all types. At this phase of life I am currently taking a hiatus of owning a K9 while I consider owning more properties. I think Rover is a great alternative medium way for me to continue providing my love for dogs, and give back to the community. I am home quite often, most of the days if need be. I can work from home. My current entrepreneurial endeavor allows me to build my own schedule. In my home I would keep K9 nearby in my two main level living rooms. I have all laminate hardwood wood flooring. The fenced backyard allows for easy potty breaks and play time, however I will be with the K9 while they are outside to ensure their safety.

About: I truly love all animals! They are just as important as us! But sometimes you, who are an animial lover too, may need someone who can be there to keep an eye on your loyal companion when you are'nt able to! Thats where I come in! I'll make sure that your pet will get the best treatment and care, just as great as you take care of them! I make sure they are well occupied, fed on time, given potty breaks when they need them, taken on fun walks and any other request you have for them, i'll follow through! And I always aim to be a punctual person so I'll always do my best to stay on schedule with you! Also, should you have any suggestions to what i can improve on with my services, I am open to it! Late mornings and Afternoons are the times i am most flexible with my schedule. So it that time frame works for you, it works for me! I have a flexible schedule and usually do not have many obligations during the week. I prefer that daily walks are scheduled no later than 5-6 pm but Drop ins are more flexible. I make sure to be a guest my clients home and make sure nothing gets damage. If a mess is made I will do my best to clean up, So if need be please share with me where the cleaning supplies are ahead of time so I know where they are in case something does need to be attended to.

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 grew up on a farm with many animals. As a child, I had pet sheep, rabbits, dogs, cats, and cows. As an adult, I have always had cats. My 20 year old long hair cat just passed away in January. It was heartbreaking. I miss him dearly. We loved our guy so much. In his last 5 yrs, I spent many hours catering to his elderly issues. Medications and night yowling were issues that I happily took care of as he lived out his twilight years. I have a soft spot for all animals as they go through all stages of life :) I work from home and set my own hours, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am open to many kinds of arrangements- one time sitting, a weekly routine, daily walks, weekends, etc. I am extremely fortunate to have a flexible schedule. My teen daughter and I live in a large 4 bedroom home, so we have tons of space to accommodate furry friends who need company. We do not have a fenced in yard, but our neighborhood is great for long walks. Our neighborhood has trails through the woods and a home owner’s association that maintains the trails. We have lots of fun walking the trails. I am an avid jogger/walker. I go out everyday, regardless of the weather. I have a very active lifestyle! We recently adopted a cat, but he stays in his own area on a different level of the house. He has claimed my daughter as his and lives in her room. When dogs come to stay with us, he typically stays in his room & pups never see him, although he has made friends with some of our regularly visiting pups 😊 I have a very flexible work schedule. When I do have to be away from home for work, I am gone about 2-3 hrs at a time. My daughter is at home often and also helps with pups. She is great with animals! We both like to take frequent walks throughout the day! In my home, I have a large open floor plan with tons of windows. During the day, I like to have pups next to me in my office, but some like to lay in prime viewing area of all the windows.

“Lainey agreed to board my Golden and Aussie last minute and she did a phenomenal job! My Aussie does not like new people and struggles with severe anxiety and fear aggression. I was honest about his behaviors upfront and not once did she seem scared, which is so uncommon, even at dog boarding facilities. Because of her passion for animals, managing behaviors, and training, he had a successful stay and I could enjoy time away without worrying constantly. I can't begin to explain how freeing and relieving that was! I will be using Lainey in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Lainey!! You are such a blessing!”

They said he did good but for whatever reason didn’t get along with her dogs. They still took great care of Marv and cuddled him and gave him great care and attention regardless of him not getting along with their dogs. We really appreciated them working with us and taking good care of Marv. Would definitely recommend them to anyone for a good easy to work with dog sitter! They even let us know we can change our settings to find a sitter with no dogs of their own so Marv doesn’t run into any additional issues with other dogs.”

About: I have taken care of animals for a while and even worked on a farm! All of your friends will be safe and cared for in my home. I am available for boarding pretty much any days of the week and I am perfectly okay with last minute bookings and cancellations if needed! I understand how life can get! I work only 4 min from my job and have flexibility to step in and out. I also have an indoor camera to keep an eye when I am away.
