“I was so nervous to leave my baby girl, Ginger, with a stranger for a week. However, Jacob was great. His dog was so friendly and he and Ginger got along wonderfully. I got updates and pictures.

I hope I don't need a dog care provider in the future, but if I do, I will be messaging Jacob.”

Thanks Carson!”

“Shelley is a great sitter. She took great care of my dog, Coal. Coal was very happy and healthy when we picked her up. Shelley was great to work with. We had some travel issues and was very understanding and accommodating. I would definitely use Shelley again if we are ever in the area. She watched Coal while we were visiting some historical sites on vacation. It might be a while before we get back to Missouri. She gave us a hand drawn portrait of Coal when we picked her up. That was awesome.”

About: Hello, dear fellow pet parents! My name is Olesia, and my family moved to Galesburg in October 2020. I am a stay-at-home mom of a 2 year old and a 6 month old humans, 2 senior miniature poodles (who are very much puppies at heart and very well-behaved), a young sweet and kind labradoodle who we adopted last year, and a kitty named Kitty. My husband and I have been around dogs and cats since childhood. We would love to help you and take care of your pet! We will treat him or her like family. I do have a request that your pet is good with babies. Our babies are fascinated with dogs and cats but they keep a respectful distance. Thank you! I am currently staying at home with my human and fur babies and working on my dissertation. I accept boarding requests on the weekends because my husband can help me then to make sure the stay is as comfortable as possible. I have a fenced yard and friendly fur babies to keep your pet company. I can easily crate my pets if needed, especially the sometimes high energy labradoodle.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I currently have a very chill boxer mix who is a total snuggle bug. All dogs deserve the chance to be their best dog self. Im currently off for the summer (I’m a teacher). I have flexibility and also the ability to be present and get to know each pupper. I have a large house with gated porches and a soon to be fenced backyard. I love walks, adventures, and getting to know your pup.

About: I have had extensive pet care experience over the years. I have cared for both dogs and cats, as well as smaller animals like rabbits and hamsters. I have experience with both indoor and outdoor pets, and I am comfortable with administering medication if needed. In my previous job, I was responsible for feeding, walking, and playing with the pets under my care. I also kept an eye on their health and reported any concerns to their owners. I am passionate about providing the best possible care for animals and I enjoy spending time with them. Well, pet care is an essential part of our daily and weekly routines, especially for pet owners like me. When it comes to taking care of our pets, we need to ensure that they are healthy, happy, and safe. This means providing them with proper nutrition, exercise, grooming, and veterinary care. As a pet owner, my daily pet care routine involves feeding my pet, giving them fresh water, and taking them for a walk or providing them with playtime. Additionally, I take some time to clean up after my pet, such as cleaning their litter box or picking up after them outside. Weekly pet care routines can involve much more, like giving my pet a bath, cleaning their bedding or cage, and checking for any potential health issues or concerns. I also make it a point to play with my pet and teach them new tricks during the week to keep them mentally stimulated and happy. Overall, pet care is a responsibility that pet owners like myself need to take seriously. By incorporating daily and weekly routines, we can ensure that our pets continue to thrive and live healthy, happy lives. Well, I think my approach to caring for my pets at home is pretty comprehensive. Firstly, I make sure to provide them with a clean environment, which means their area and kennel is cleaned as well as, beddings are changed regularly. I also make sure they have access to plenty of fresh water and nutritious food. In terms of exercise and playtime, I schedule a set amount of time each day for interactive play and exercise, in addition to walks outdoors. This keeps them happy, healthy and stimulated both physically and mentally. I also prioritize their medical needs by ensuring they receive regular checkups and vaccinations as needed. This proactive approach helps to prevent health problems down the line. Overall, I believe that providing a safe and nurturing environment, plenty of exercise and playtime, and proactive medical care are all key to caring for pets in a responsible and effective way.

About: Love, caring and fun!!! My favorite thing to do is go on walks in the fresh air with dogs. I have always had a dog with breeds all over the map. My favorite breed is a husky but still love my Yorkshire terriors. 26 years of dog care. It is a pleasure having a dog to always rely on to make your day great. Your dog will feel super comfortable and you will feel safe having a reliable pet sitter. Dogs really are the best companion to have that brings an instant smile always. Count on me to always keep your dog safe. I hope to ease your mind knowing that your dog will have a good time. Can't wait to meet your fur baby. :)

About: Working professionally with dogs for over 11 years. I train, walk, care, and am able to handle dogs of all ages and many temperaments. I can come to your home or they can come to mine. Dogs are my life. I currently volunteer at a shelter where I just relocated to. My schedule is wide open while I rebuild my business locally to offer quality, loving, and affordable pet care so people can have the best in life and not have to worry. I follow all owner direction regarding meals, walks, medication, and socialization. I like to walk every two to four hours for at least 30 min, and play one on one throughout the day.

About: I truly care about animals well-being. A pet can be a wonderful addition to any home, but whether you're an experienced pet parent or a first-time adopter, it's important to keep your pet companion's health and happiness a top priority. I enjoy playing with them and showing them new things. If someone leaves their dog with me they can feel completely safe they are taken well care of. I will treat any person's dog the same as I would my own. I know what to look for if the dog does not feel well or needs extra attention. I have a very good sense of dogs needs such as when they are hungry or need to go outside. I look forward to hearing from you. I work from home, so I can be with the pet full-time. I enjoy meeting new pets and owners and ensuring they have nothing to worry about while I am sitting. I work from home, so I can be with the pet full-time.

“Melissa has been a lifesaver. She comes over multiple times a week, and takes great care of my dog. Winston warmed up to her very quickly on their first meeting, and on the days when Melissa takes him out for walks, he's always happy and sleeping when I get home from work.”

About: *NOW OFFERING DISCOUNTED RATES!* *I am currently on hiatus from house sitting! I will offer that service again soon!* After a brief break due to adjusting to a new, full-time job, I’m back to doing what I love: caring for your furry family members! With 50+ 5-star reviews and years of experience, I’m here to offer dependable, loving care again. I've had pets of my own my entire life and have cared for pets of friends, family, and neighbors for years! I love being around animals and have 3 babies of my own. I'll love your best friend as much as I love my own! I am reliable, punctual, and energetic and always willing to do what I can to help out! I have an anxious, aggressive, and arthritic Chihuahua of my own, so I have experience with more "neurotic" pets as well as experience with medication. One of my cats is 13 years old, so I also have experience with senior care (as well as cat medication, too!). I also recently adopted a guinea pig and am getting a second one very soon, so have experience with “exotic” animals as well! I just moved to the Galesburg area and am currently unemployed, so have wide availability to care for your pets! If I am house sitting, I can typically spend overnight and the majority of the day there! *Note: I am currently on hiatus from house sitting services! I currently do not offer house sitting/boarding in my own home, as my 3 pets aren't comfortable with new animals in their environment. Eventually, I hope to be able to set up a system where I can provide that service! I do have a playpen and door fences that I use for my own dog, so could potentially provide temporary boarding if the circumstance is right! When I come into a home for sitting, I am always acknowledging that I am not only in another person's space but the pet's space as well. I do everything I can to be respectful and aware of boundaries. Following routines to keep the pet comfortable is essential in building the bond!

About: Starting in 2020, I spent a few years on the road doing a variety of gigs, primarily animal transportation. I got to see the entire country and meet a ton of awesome animals - mostly dogs & puppies, but rabbits, kitties, lizards, too. I have since planted my flag in Galesburg, IL, and am hoping to build up a clientele of regular check-ins here in this area as I build a home for myself off the road. I am happy to book new clients through Rover, but I do most of my gigs through direct booking after the initial sit. Since Rover keeps 20% of a sitter's fee, please consider tipping in full to make up the difference. Upon meeting new clients, I would like to let folks know that it is common courtesy to compensate a potential sitter if they are traveling from out of town for a meet & greet. It is not expected but greatly appreciated to offer to stock the fridge for overnights, especially for longer sits. These are things I have learned from my favorite clients, families that have taught me how to make a happy living caring for their beloved households. Dogsitting is what I do for a living. I don't mind driving out of town for overnight gigs with appropriate compensation. Just ask and let's see what we can set up. For overnights, I like to keep handwritten notes throughout the day and have little photoshoots here and there. I prefer to check in via text at the end of the day w some nice photos and a brief summary of the day's events. My clients enjoy reading the full report when they get home.

About: I used to live on a ranch including dogs and cats. I’ve had many years of caring for them and when anything happens to them, I’m the first one that gets called to get asked what they can do to help them. I am full time Monday-Friday but I would love to take care of your pets after! Anytime after 4:30 will be the best time I can come after work but on the days I’m off, anytime works Whatever the rules are, I will follow them. If dogs are needed to be crated at a certain time, I can do that and if they need free time constantly then I am all for that as well.
