Personalized care for your dog or cat - Nauvoo

“Shelley was amazing! She sent pictures often, made sure my dog was comfortable and was very accommodating. If I’m in the area again I’ll leave my pup with Shelley!”

“Julie was amazing. She listened to all of my concerns and kept my dog calm and happy while I was out of town. She was able to do a meet & greet with my boy Morty and her two dogs so that we were able to make sure they’d all get along. Morty loved all the space she had in her fenced-in back yard and my mind was at ease with all of the baby-gates to offer separation from other animals inside the house. Julie was able to board my dog with pretty short notice and for a great price. I’m very happy with her services and would highly recommend her to anyone needing care for their animals.”

“Excellent, attentive care for my two toy poodles! Kyla took wonderful care of my dogs during their two-night stay. I especially appreciated her understanding and patience with my elderly poodle who has vision difficulties. She made sure both dogs were comfortable and well-looked after. I really appreciated the pics she sent me! My pups came home happy and relaxed, which gave me great peace of mind. Would definitely book with her again!”

About: I have 3 dogs of my own, they go places with me and lots of walks. I am polite, trustworthy, hard working, caring, and reliable. I am by myself caring for your pet. I am available all evening, morning, and weekends. I can clean cat pans, pick up dog feces, take.dogs for walks, clean and play with pets. I have a big house, lots of space, and a fenced in yard. I have multiple water fountains and keep a schedule. Animals are aloud on the furniture and to play and be themselves.

About: For most of my life, I grew up on a farm full of a variety of animals. We owned chickens, cows, pigs, goats, ducks, geese, horses, and sheep. On top of that, we also kept many dogs and cats around too. Due to this, I grew up loving all my animal companions and practicing the best ways to care for our furry friends. I now live in an apartment with just my two cats but take with me my past experience of two years working at a vet clinic as a ward attendant, participating in dog walking, administering medications, and other general animal care. Currently, I am looking for ways to fill my free time with a little extra animal love, as I am someone who likes to always be busy doing something for others. With my current job as a teacher, my schedule is pretty strict, unfortunately. However, my evening availability can be very flexible. I could be available from 5 pm to 10 pm during the weekdays and then free all day during weekends. Therefore, if you need my help with your furry family member, I would be glad for you to use my low-priced services offered ranging from walks to house sitting to drop-in visits! I am a teacher and will be working every weekday from 7 AM to 4 PM. Expect that availability for me will change during winter and summer breaks. In my home, I have two cats that are experienced with dogs and other cats. We have multiple rooms so if a door needs to be shut for an animal's privacy while in my care, that can be done.

“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. Jacob always returned my messages when I was feeling worried or guilty. When we picked Ginger up, she was excited to get back home, but I could tell she missed Jacob and R. too. I hope I don't need a dog care provider in the future, but if I do, I will be messaging Jacob.”

About: I have had at least 1 dog my entire life. I have been walking and dog sitting for 30 years. It was something I could do as a kid that I fully enjoyed. I have many clients that have become great friends. Their Fur Babies become a part of our family. My family and I have rescued many dogs from bad situations and found them their furever homes. It is an amazing feeling to be able to know they are safe and will get all of the love they deserve. We have dogs also of our own that are our world some of which are special needs. If you are looking for experience and much love for you sweet babies please let me help :)

About: Growing up, I’ve always had cats in my household, varying ages and personalities - from energetic kittens to older cats who need medicine and a little extra TLC, I loved them all! Since moving out for college, I’ve missed the companionship of cats more than I expected. Cat sitting your fur baby is a win-win.

“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: 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. I enjoy meeting new pets and owners and ensuring they have nothing to worry about while I am sitting. I give the same care to pets, whether at home or with clients.

“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’ve had dogs my entire life. I use to show them in 4H when I was younger. I’m a stay at home mom, so I can give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day! They’ll be able to run, have fun, be played with, and get lots of potty breaks! I am home all day, everyday! Therefore I am available to take them potty as much as they need, take them on walks, play with them. Whatever their needs are. I’m here for them! I have two big outdoor kennels for the nice weather days, but they are also welcome in our home. We have a tiny little rat terrier and then a boxer that love other dogs. They’re very friendly and playful. I can crate your dog, or put them in the outdoor big kennels that have coverage, or if they are good at free roaming indoors, they’re welcome to free roam the house.

“Dana was wonderful with our dog! The atmosphere is very comforting for the dog to get adjusted and you can tell that the whole family are dog lovers. She sent us picture updates and we could tell he was relaxed. We would not hesitant for a minute to leave our little guy there again. Dana accommodated us last minute as well and it allowed us to go out for a celebratory dinner with our son. Great experience!”

About: Animals love me. I have a lot patience and I reward with treats and affection. I’m semi- retired now but I used own a pet grooming business. I have 2 dogs Marlo and Harper, 1 cat and I live in Linden Heights. We do have cameras so you can check on your pet via camera, Snapchat or FaceTime. We walk at least once a day and if your dog likes to play frisbee or ball we also play once a day. The dog park is just about a mile away when we need a fenced in area. Let me know if you’d like to set up a meet and greet for you baby. I can do sitting or boarding for work or vacations. I’m semi retired And am home during the day. In the mornings, I take my dog on one to 2 mile walk. In the evening we play frisbee. I would be available to take the dogs to the dog park, which is only about a mile away or I would take them out on a leash. Our house is very secure. We have a security camera outside and we have a camera inside. The dogs would not be able to get out unless they were on a leash. I live in minimal trafficked area.
