Personalized care for your dog or cat - Monmouth

“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%!! :)”

“Julie was great with my kitty. He had never been around other cats or dogs before and she made sure to give him his own room while he slowly adjusted to being around other animals. She sent pictures and videos daily. Louie had a great time!”

“This was my first time boarding my small dog and I was anxious. Kayla and her family were very warm and welcoming and took good care of Belle. She was very happy to see me and still ran to Kayla for last minute cuddles. I would board her with Kayla again if I could! I left a tip with her husband. Thank you!”

“Excellent service for house sitting with a demanding male cat - Sabbat. I booked a 10-night stay with the best sitter to watch my cat. He was well taken care of during my absence and Mary went above and beyond my expectations! My cat loved her and is still looking for her..even his coat improved from so much petting and care. She tidied the house, washed the dishes, took care of my kitty, and covered all of the details. I have a complicated home and Mary took care of every single detail impeccably. SHE SENT MOVIES, VIDEOS, UPDATES! I COULD NOT HAVE WISHED FOR A BETTER SITTER. Mary was awesome....”

About: I have had cats for the past eight years and would be relied on to watch my friends cats when they were away from home!

“I was very pleased with Ashlee and would definitely request her again to care for my pets (dog and cats). She asked detailed questions to prepare herself for their care and handled the special medication needs of both my dog and cat by taking a pic of their prepared food. She was dependable and on time. Her relaxed confident manner made my nervous dog at ease with a stranger. I would recommend her to others.”

“Julie was great! This was the first time we had a sitter for our 6 month old puppy, Charley. Julie was very patient and understanding and very flexible concerning our ever-changing schedule. She kept us updated on Charley throughout his stay. We were very happy with Julie's care of our pup and will not hesitate to request her services again.”

About: I previously worked at a veterinary clinic for 3 years with dogs and cats! I have experience from puppies/kittens to senior dogs/cats and giving some medications. Growing up I’ve dog sat for neighbors and friends. I enjoy taking my dogs for walks around the neighborhood! I am currently working part time. However, I am available for in home boarding any day of the week. I’m available for dog walking on weekends or week day evenings. If you have any further questions feel free to reach out! I have a fenced in yard, 2 friendly dogs and 2 cats to keep yours company for their stay. There’s a walking trail close to my house that my dogs and I enjoy going to.

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!

I would love to have the chance to care for your loved one too. Reach out and we can chat! Xoxo, Ashlee 🐾 Blissful Paws

About: I used to live on a ranch including dogs and cats.

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.

About: I have experience with handling all types of breeds and sizes of dogs. I am also a certified dog groomer. I can provide a deeper kind of care for your dogs coat.I also have experience working at and managing daycare/boarding centers for dogs. It was my job to ensure all dogs were fed, given their medications, and were happy and loved on, of course. I've worked with all sorts of special needs dogs. Dogs who are blind, deaf, seniors, sadly missing a limb or bottom jaw, diagnosed with epilepsy, hip displasiea. I understand special needs dog especially need tender and loving care and I have the patience and understanding to ensure they receive that care. To me, dogs are more than just pets.

I am very reliable and dependable, if I have any questions or concerns with your pet while I'm caring for them I will contact you.

I can provide potty / play visits on weekdays, and provide house sitting services for Fridays and Saturdays. I have a part Labrador part Pit bull dog myself. She is high energy and very playful and loving of other dogs and cats. So long as your dog is comfortable with her, I'd be able to provide a playmate. And if you have cats in your home my dog would be comfortable with them as well. Otherwise, I will give my undivided attention to your pet snuggling with them and making sure they're fed and played with or take them out on walks. If you have any specific instructions or wishes for me to kennel them I can do that as well.
