“Was great experience for Remington, was great to be able to meet them before and have Remington check out the new place. He made couple new friends and enjoyed himself and was well cared for.”
“She was very attentive to the individual needs of both of our dogs. The daily pictures and full report after were both appreciated. Our dogs will be back.”
“My girls are happy at Karen’s house and are well taken care of. I greatly appreciate the peace of mind knowing that they are ok in my absence. I was out of town for 9 days and felt like they were in good hands.”
“Here’s a polished positive review you could use: Kristen was absolutely wonderful watching my two boy dogs while I was on vacation. She was friendly, reliable, and very communicative throughout the entire stay, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated regularly and was always quick to respond to messages. Most importantly, my boys absolutely loved her! It was clear they were well cared for, happy, and comfortable in her care. I would highly recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter, and I would gladly book with her again.”
“My crazy puppy has a great time at Sarah’s house this weekend! I love that she sent lots of updates and pics of my baby playing with another dog. We will happily book again for next time!”
“Audra and her son do an awesome job caring for Wrigley! Audra tends to have great availability for watching my dog when I need someone. She communicates quickly when I'm checking her availability and provides lots of updates while my dog is in her care. Love having someone responsible and caring to count on to care for my dog when I have to be gone.”
“Excellent communication, caring, affectionate, loving, respectful, and sincere. I felt released that Holly sends several videos and pictures while I was out of town. Holly is a great job!! Awesome!!”
“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.”
“I can’t recommend Elisse enough! She was an absolute gem when it comes to taking care of my pup. From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear that she genuinely love animals and go above and beyond to ensure every pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved. I got regular updated and photos during my visit.”
“Kari is a rare find!!! I am new to the area and have used Kari a few times. Her and her husband are very kind and great to my dogs. My dogs used to come home from being boarded at a facility and sleep for days from being so stressed. I pick them up from Kari’s and they are ready to play!?!! Highly recommend ❤️❤️”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing with Ark! He is a young, high-energy puppy who can definitely be a handful, but she took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout his stay. It was clear that she was patient, attentive, and genuinely cared about his well-being. Ark came home happy, healthy, and tired—which is not an easy accomplishment! I also really appreciated how welcoming she was and how comfortable she made the whole experience. I would trust her with Ark again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you so much for everything, Ashley!”

About: Hi, I’m Erica — a highly experienced animal care professional with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets and farm animals of all kinds. I’m trained as a veterinary assistant, including assisting with surgeries, administering medications, and caring for senior, disabled, and post-operative animals. I specialize in calm, consistent, in-home care for pets who do best staying in their familiar environment. 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. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind, keep your pets safe and happy, and treat your home with the same care I would my own. -20+ years caring for animals of all species and temperaments -Veterinary assistant training, including surgery assistance -Medication administration (oral, topical, injections if required) -Special-needs pets (blind, senior, diabetic, post-surgical, anxious) -Farm and rural animal care -House sitting and extended stays -Potty training and behavioral reinforcement -I’m calm under pressure, attentive to detail, and deeply respectful of routines — especially when animals depend on consistency. Pet care is intentionally woven into my daily and weekly routine, not added on as an afterthought. I structure my schedule around the animals in my care so they receive consistent attention, enrichment, and calm companionship throughout the day. 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.

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.

“Was great experience for Remington, was great to be able to meet them before and have Remington check out the new place. He made couple new friends and enjoyed himself and was well cared for.”
“She was very attentive to the individual needs of both of our dogs. The daily pictures and full report after were both appreciated. Our dogs will be back.”
“My girls are happy at Karen’s house and are well taken care of. I greatly appreciate the peace of mind knowing that they are ok in my absence. I was out of town for 9 days and felt like they were in good hands.”
“Here’s a polished positive review you could use: Kristen was absolutely wonderful watching my two boy dogs while I was on vacation. She was friendly, reliable, and very communicative throughout the entire stay, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated regularly and was always quick to respond to messages. Most importantly, my boys absolutely loved her! It was clear they were well cared for, happy, and comfortable in her care. I would highly recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter, and I would gladly book with her again.”
“My crazy puppy has a great time at Sarah’s house this weekend! I love that she sent lots of updates and pics of my baby playing with another dog. We will happily book again for next time!”
“Excellent communication, caring, affectionate, loving, respectful, and sincere. I felt released that Holly sends several videos and pictures while I was out of town. Holly is a great job!! Awesome!!”
“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.”
“I can’t recommend Elisse enough! She was an absolute gem when it comes to taking care of my pup. From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear that she genuinely love animals and go above and beyond to ensure every pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved. I got regular updated and photos during my visit.”
“Kari is a rare find!!! I am new to the area and have used Kari a few times. Her and her husband are very kind and great to my dogs. My dogs used to come home from being boarded at a facility and sleep for days from being so stressed. I pick them up from Kari’s and they are ready to play!?!! Highly recommend ❤️❤️”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing with Ark! He is a young, high-energy puppy who can definitely be a handful, but she took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout his stay. It was clear that she was patient, attentive, and genuinely cared about his well-being. Ark came home happy, healthy, and tired—which is not an easy accomplishment! I also really appreciated how welcoming she was and how comfortable she made the whole experience. I would trust her with Ark again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you so much for everything, Ashley!”
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 welcome puppies through seniors, 4–50 lbs, and tailor each stay to your dog’s age, breed, energy level, personality, and normal routine. Your pup’s stay may include: * 🐾 One-on-one enrichment games and interactive play * 🚶🏽 Weather-permitting walks in approximately 15-minute increments, adjusted to your dog’s breed, age, stamina, and activity needs * 🌳 Supervised outdoor time in a securely fenced yard * 💧 Fresh, clean purified water available throughout the stay * 🦴 Quality treats with owner approval * 🐶 Basic puppy manners and routine reinforcement * 🛏️ Rest and quiet time whenever your dog needs it * ❤️ Plenty of one-on-one attention and affection * 📸 Several photo and video updates throughout the stay, so you can see how your baby is doing while you’re away Last-minute bookings are welcome when availability allows. My goal is to provide the convenience of daycare with the comfort and personal attention of a private sitter — no cages, no crowded playgroups, and no competing for attention. I am a unemployed Army veteran looking for something to do that I love !!!! I lived here in Springfield for the past 3 years. I love outdoor walks and I am not far from Washington Park. I started Rover in Daytona Beach Florida and proud to enjoy Illinois with your furbaby!!! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m not reckless I always check the surroundings of any potential harm in or outside of the home. I will treat your baby as if they were my own. I love to send photo bombing pictures throughout time spent so no worries on knowing how/what they have been up too!!!
About: I have had animals from the time I was a toddler. I have cared for small and large dogs, cats, lizards, rabbits, fish, gerbils, and various farm animals. I will love and care for your animals like my own! I have plenty of availability to care for your animals, just call me or send me a message and I can get to you asap! I will respect your home and make sure the animals are cared for as well as I care for my own! If you need me to clean up anything, I can do that as well. A clean environment always helps me have a fresh mindset!
About: I have experience with all kinds of pets. From reptiles, felines, and mixed breed pups, to Pit Bulls and German Shepherds. I love them all 🫶🏾 I work from home for a minimal contact tech company. After my little ones leave for school at 8:30 AM, my schedule is completely flexible. We miss having fur babies around and will treat them as part of our family. I have mild mannered boys 8 and 6 that love nature and animals.
“Lindsay is so kind, attentive, and friendly! Her love of animals is very evident, and she will treat yours like her own during their stay. She sent lots of photos and gave good updates about our 2 dogs, we will absolutely be booking with her again.”
