About: I've been around and cared for dogs since I was 5 years old, which included my own, grandparent's, and in-law's dogs. I am a very compassionate and loving person who will give your dog the care it needs. I'm currently looking to make extra money as I continue to search for a fulltime work from home position. I am available any time after 10 am and available on the weekends. I have a small unfenced yard in a country like setting that is perfect for taking dogs for a walk. I currently don't have a dog of my own but am looking to adopting one soon.
“Tori and Malik were great! The first picture posted let me know Bonnie was very comfortable. They had a beautiful area to walk her and I could tell she was having a great time. So appreciative of their caring and loving feelings toward my Bon! A million thanks.”


About: What sesame part is how much care attention I give to every pet I look after. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take the time to learn their individual routines personalities and needs. I’m dependable communicative and will always keep you updated while you’re away. My goal is to not only make sure your pet is safe and cared for but to also make sure they feel comfortable love and happy while you’re gone. I’m currently a musical theater major and because of the structure of my classes I have a good amount of downtime throughout the day. This gives me plenty of flexibility to stop by and take care of some pet pets whether that means we’re going for a walk feeding them playing with them or simply giving them some extra love attention. I enjoy spending my free time with animals so pet care if it’s naturally into my daily routine I’m able to work around each pet schedule and make sure they get the care attention they need while their owners are away. I take the safety and comfort of every pet very seriously whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in the client’s home I make sure they are in a clean safe and comfortable environment. I will follow their normal routines for feeding walks playtime, and any other care instructions provided by their owner. I also take the time to learn each pets personality needs and boundaries so they feel comfortable and cared for when caring for a pet in a client‘s home I will treat their home with the same respect I would my own and make sure that everything is left clean and secure. I also believe communication is extremely important so I’ll keep owners updated with messages and photos throughout their pet day. My goal is for both a pet and the owner to feel safe, comfortable and confident while they are apart.
About: I’ve had a dog of my own since 2018, Ciri and I started when she could fit in my hand. Since then, I’ve added two more dogs to the home and it’s come in all types. I’ve dealt with them deathly sick, scared, nervous, hyper, and sleepy. I work full time at SIUC, but my friend and roommate is a retired Army veteran who spends most of his time at home. Unless something very unexpected happens, the dogs are not left alone for more than 4 hours. My house has two separately fenced in yards and I have three friendly dogs of my own and my roommate has one cat. We’re laidback and at constant war with husky hair, but we get by with optional crating and indoor and outdoor time whenever your pup needs it.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for over 2 years in our house and in others as well. I have two kids that help to learn responsibility, work ethic, and love! I teach and coach so my availability will vary but I’m available on most weekends, summers, and holidays. I look forward to the opportunity to take care of your babies! I have a very friendly family dog at our fenced in house. I live in a pet friendly area with multiple floors and levels to take care of your fur babies!
“Gabrielle took GREAT care of our dog while we were on vacation! She kept us updated, sent lots of pictures, and made sure he got plenty of walks. We will definitely be rebooking!”

“Mallory was great at communication, and following instructions. She was very kind and gave updates/showed photos. She took great care of my cat while I was away, and i felt very much at ease with her!”

About: I have always had people come to me to take care of their pets because to me they are family and they deserve that treatment. I am an athlete at SEMO so I don’t get to see animals often, but they are one of my most favorite things in the world. Besides school and sports they would be my main priority and it would mean a lot to take care of them when I am available. I can easily take care of your dog the way you would like me to, but if you feel the need for them to have extra care such as taking walks or playing catch I can do that as well.
