“Kelly and her family take great care of my dog and even sends me pictures! My little guy is 18 but still very active and I don’t worry about him at all when he’s with them!”
“Our dog Dobby just finished her first tryout stay with Daniela. It seems like she had a good time and there weren't any big problems. Daniela kept us in the loop and sent lots of pics during the days. Dobby seems pretty happy with her stay, so we are as well. We will definitely be getting in touch with Daniela again for further dog watching.”

“Ashley is amazing and I highly recommend her for anyone who wants their fur baby taken care of well. She is kind, caring, and highly communicative. We couldn’t be more pleased with the way she cared for Maizy. In fact, Maizy seemed a bit sad to leave which means she absolutely loved her time with Ashley and family. Thank you so much!”
“This is Grover's home away from home, his favorite vacation spot. We know he's well taken care of, spoiled, and has lots of fun. He sleeps so good when he comes home, couldn't ask for a better caregiver for my son.”
“Alex and her family were amazing! She was extremely easy to work with and communicate with. I was almost afraid Cooper would want to stay with them after his two week visit. Photos came regularly. Honestly, she was the best and only rover sitter we will ever use again! Thank you, Alex!”

“Star did an absolute great job watching my 10-month old pit. For him being a big boy, she handled him very well. She did an excellent job sending updates and pictures on his status. She is passionate about dogs and definitely recommend her to anyone that needs assistance with their pet. I am very appreciative for everything that she does.”
“Memphis loved her boarding experience with Aurora! I was sent with pictures, videos, and updates throughout the stay which was greatly appreciated. We will definitely be booking with Aurora again!”
“Nicole did an amazing job at taking care of my 2 Elkhounds. She is very experienced and completely understood the situation with my male wanting to mark his territory. She kept me in the loop on how they were doing and let me know how she planned on handling situations. Nicole was very understanding when my return flight was canceled and I would be a few hours later than planned in picking them up. I definitely recommend Nicole.”
“We can’t say enough good things about Ashley’s care and attention and role the whole family plays in taking care of our Baxter. We got photos frequently and assuring messages while we were away. I’m not surf Baxter was ready to come home. Ten out of five stars!”

“Tina and her husband were wonderful caretakers for our sweet terrier Lilly. They were so welcoming when we got there. Their setup was perfect. They had a fenced back yard. They also took her on walks, brushed her, doted on her, let her sleep with them and made her feel so at home that when we came to pick her up she wanted us to come in instead of running out to the car as usual. She wanted all her peeps to be together. That is true testimony to the wonderful experience she had. Tina also kept us updated every couple of days with photos and gave us a full report when we came to pick up. Our girl had no problems so no more reporting was required. We were delighted with their services!”

“This was our second time with Alex, they did an excellent job with our kitty and my guinea pig! Our kitty is pretty shy but after a few visits she started to warm up to them. Now our kitty can get snuggles when we are gone, especially when she's picky on who she likes.”
“Kyla was wonderful with our 2 cats. Her time was flexible and she was easy to book with over Christmas. During our initial meet and greet, the natural way she interacted with both Magik and Spooky, learning her history with animals, and her authenticity put my nerves at ease. During our time away, Kyla kept us up to date on her visits, how our cats were doing and included pictures. When we returned home, both cats were happy doing great. Kyla will be our go to anytime we are away.”
“Rebecca was everything you could have wanted out of Rover! Her love and dedication to animals is apparent the minute you meet her! Knowing that a very soon to be vet is watching over my two kitties gave me so much reassurance! Her daily check ins were incredibly detailed and she was able to accommodate to any request we asked of her! I couldn’t imagine a better kitty sitter!”
“Mal did a great job taking care of our four cats! She was responsive, spent extra time there, was able to give our fiesty cat her medication, and went above and beyond keeping everything clean and giving us updates! We will definitely book with her again!”
“Having a total care senior dog can be extremely stressful when planning a trip out of town. My dogs used to be road trip champs but unfortunately due to old age and one handicap, they have to stay behind. From the moment Mason came for a meet and greet both dogs greeted him and were calm and happy in their presence. Masons confidence and willingness to care for my total care senior dog was a relief. I was able to go out of town for 5 days with a peace of mind knowing that they were not only well taken care of but happy as well. I highly recommend him for all your doggie needs.”
“Latasha looked after our kitty (Lazare) and house for a week in July. She was very professional and courteous. She took the time to write down instructions on our meet and greet. Lazare loved her! I appreciated her communication and photos and she also took good care of the house and plants. I wholeheartedly recommend Latasha.”
“We're new to the area, and needed a sitter to take care of our four cats while we drove our car cross country to our new home. I'm so glad we found Diane! She took amazing care of our two geriatric cats who need pills and injections, and gave us assurance that they were on track with their meds. We got so many excellent photos at each visit, and we knew that our babies were getting lots of play and cuddle time. We'll be repeat customers with Diane again - highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m Gaby, a full-time professional pet sitter and lifelong animal lover. Caring for animals isn’t a side job for me, it’s full time job and passion! One of the biggest benefits of booking with me is that I do this full-time, which means your pets receive far more attention, companionship, and supervision than they would with sitters who work traditional 9–5 jobs or are in and out all day. Your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches of the day, and their comfort, safety, and routine will always be my top priority. I have professional experience working in daycare and boarding environments, including Kennelwood Animal Resort and Y Bark Alone. Through that experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m comfortable administering medications (both oral and injections), handling puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets, and recognizing signs that a pet may be stressed, anxious, or unwell. When I watch your babies, they aren’t just another booking. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they deserve. You’ll receive tons of pupdates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in caring hands. My goal is to become the sitter you can rely on whenever you need help, a trusted person who treats your pets like family and provides the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own! I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies!🐶🐾 Rover is my full time job at the moment so my schedule is very open to give your pet the proper time and attention they deserve. How I care for your fur baby is completely contingent on the owner. I follow all guidelines they have set in place whatever those may be. But you can trust they are always in the best of hands.
About: Some see them as animals, I see them as little people... whom deserves to be loved and cared for properly. I am dedicated and trust worthy. SAFETY is my number one priority when it comes to your pet. I am a Welder by trade and its currently too hot outside for my career, so I'll have lots of time for your pet till the fall when it cools down. I have two very friendly children in my home, ages 17 and 7. We have lots of room in our home and a big back yard which includes chickens. The chickens stay inside their chicken run, they don't like dogs or cats anyway. My schedule is pretty open right now, so just let me know when you would like services, and I'll let you know if I'm available. We currently have chickens and one mixed breed dog named "Charlie" who loves all dogs, cats and even the chickens. Your pet would have our undivided attention! We absolutely love dogs and cats.
“Maddison did amazing with our doggies. The dogs were afraid at first, but she was able to earn the trust of our doggies by the end of the first visit. Our dogs opened up to her on her next visits. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that Maddison was taking good care of our dogs. We are definitely booking her again on our next trip.”
“Emily was great in coming to check-in on Leo a little short notice due to a trip I was on and some changes in plans in who was checking on him. As always Emily was super communicative and helpful 😊 I am so glad she was available to watch him.”
“Nick did an amazing job watching my dogs while I was away. He is very knowledgeable about taking care of dogs and that out my mind at ease when I was out of town. When I came home, my dogs and cat were completely calm as if I had only been gone for a few minutes instead of a few days.”
“Catelyn was amazing with my two elderly cats. Even the antisocial one loved her! She sent me daily updates with pictures. Catelyn was wonderful and made my vacation stress-free.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life—at least five of my own since childhood! I’ve learned how to understand their personalities and needs, and even trained my current dog to be calm and social. My home is cozy, welcoming, and set up for a dog’s comfort and routine. I provide the same love, structure, and attention to every pup I watch, making sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I love starting the day with a morning walk and taking another in the evening to wind down. I’m also available on weekends with at least a week’s notice—perfect for when you need a reliable sitter for your pup. In my home, dogs are treated like family. I have a friendly pup who loves making new friends and keeping other dogs company. There’s a cozy space where pets can relax, nap, or be crated if they need their own quiet time. My fenced yard gives them plenty of room for potty breaks and playtime in a safe environment. If I’m caring for your dog in your home, I’ll follow their normal routines to help them feel secure and loved while you’re away. Whether at your place or mine, I focus on creating a peaceful, happy experience for every pup.
About: I've watched pets for friends and family since I was a teenager. I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats and will love them like they are my own. I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby. I am currently a stay at home spouse and looking for ways to make extra income doing something I love. I am extremely flexible with my schedule and will make the time to make things work. I have a cat that seems to get along with other animals, but haven't put it to the test too much. I have walked and pet sat for several clients with bigger dogs and that have special needs and am comfortable with them all. I do always try and do a meet and greet before our first visit so your pet can get to know me before they are left alone with me.
“Chico, my elderly Chihuahua, went to doggie daycare with Amy in Columbia for a couple of hours while I met friends for lunch. Amy has such a wonderful way with animals; you can tell she really loves watching them. She took lots of photos, have Chico lots of attention and even had a pet guestbook for him to sign. Such a cute idea. If you ever need a pet sitter, I highly recommend Amy.”

About: Hello there and let me give you an introduction towards my experience and me as a person👋 - Experience wise I have raised over 45+ foster care animals in my family household growing up ranging from Pugs to Rottweilers to Great Danes to Belgian Malinoise to Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to GSP's and many more breeds, and have previously petsit for friends and family. I also have professional work experience from my previous job working at Country Estate Kennel in Shiloh for about half of a year as an Animal Technician and I am currently working at No Leash Needed as an Animal Technician/Supervisor registered under the National Veterinary Association (NVA). I am also certified for Dog and Cat CPR and First Aid which covers Seizure Care, CPR Instructions, Instruction on how to deal with wound care, and how to check for signs of overheating or choking as well as how to deal with them if the situation ever arrives to ensure your pets safety to the fullest of my ability. - I am experienced in dog bathing, low level grooming (brushing, combing, light trimming, removing matted fur/hair), and so forth. I also am trained in and familiar with giving oral medication if your pet has that as a requirement, such as seizure medication, diabetic medication, and so forth. I also will give walks for each animal if preferred for free for your pet if you are booking me for house sitting, and lastly I also do trimming of nails as well. - I am glad to offer truly professional care, while maintaining a good relationship with my clients as I understand that our pets are like our children to us, and if they are to be under my care, I see them and take care of them as though they were my very own pets such as my Foxfire Lab Rylee and my Mongolian Gerbil Hiro. When it comes to my schedule/availability I update my schedule regularly every few days. I do not accept drop-in's or dog walking for before 11 AM or after 8 PM. My availability for meet and greets are anytime between 11 AM and 8 PM with variation given based on my work schedule. Those are my only time restrictions on bookings and meet and greets. When it comes to my pets my Mongolian Gerbil Hiro requires checkups regularly and a well maintained habitat with proper calcium-free sand or reptile sand. Shes generally low maintenance but very spoiled with treats and wooden houses that she can use to take care of her teeth so they don't overgrow. My Firefox Lab Rylee is very energetic so I often play fetch with her outside and take her on walks. If she isn't running laps around me she's typically watching TV with me on our couch. When it comes to your pet I would like to be told what behaviorisms and daily rituals they are familiar with in your household to make them most comfortable and what their favorite activities are so I can make the most out of your pets experience in being taken care of and give them a safe and happy experience that feels familiar to their everyday. Every pet is different, so please let me know what is part of their individual regular schedule!

I understand the importance of a pet’s familiar surroundings, so I make sure they feel safe and secure in their own space. Whether it’s a walk, a play session, or just some cuddle time, I’m here to provide the attention your pet needs while keeping you updated with photos and messages.
About: I grew up having animals at my family's home. I got my first dog in 2010 but I had to put her down when she was almost 13. I got my two cats in 2020 and they are about 6 years old. I do not have professional experience caring for animals but a lot of personal experience. I work from home in Shiloh, IL so I can be flexible with walking dogs, or taking care of cats or other animals during the day. I can go to homes to care for cats, dogs and other animals as needed. I will not be able to board animals at my home.
“What an amazing dog lover. She bonded immediately with our boys. She stayed a bit longer to just ensure the boys knew she meant business that they were her focus. Bravo Catelyn - you have two new best friends!”
About: Hi! I’m Gaby, a full-time professional pet sitter and lifelong animal lover. Caring for animals isn’t a side job for me, it’s full time job and passion! One of the biggest benefits of booking with me is that I do this full-time, which means your pets receive far more attention, companionship, and supervision than they would with sitters who work traditional 9–5 jobs or are in and out all day. Your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches of the day, and their comfort, safety, and routine will always be my top priority. I have professional experience working in daycare and boarding environments, including Kennelwood Animal Resort and Y Bark Alone. Through that experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m comfortable administering medications (both oral and injections), handling puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets, and recognizing signs that a pet may be stressed, anxious, or unwell. When I watch your babies, they aren’t just another booking. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they can feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they deserve. You’ll receive tons of pupdates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in caring hands. My goal is to become the sitter you can rely on whenever you need help, a trusted person who treats your pets like family and provides the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own! I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies!🐶🐾 Rover is my full time job at the moment so my schedule is very open to give your pet the proper time and attention they deserve. How I care for your fur baby is completely contingent on the owner. I follow all guidelines they have set in place whatever those may be. But you can trust they are always in the best of hands.
About: What sets me apart is my patience, flexibility, and genuine love for animals. I understand that pets, like people, need time to warm up, so I always work on their schedule — not mine. As a mom of two college students, caring for pets fills my heart and time with purpose. I’m dependable, respectful of your home, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. As a flexible part-time worker, I don’t mind driving or going the extra mile to make sure your home and pets are cared for like family I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a calm, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I take time to earn their trust, give them space when needed, and show affection when they’re ready. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions with care and attention to detail—just as I would for my own pets. My goal is to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 2 years. As a military member, I’ve often helped fellow military friends and counterparts care for their pets while they were away or working long hours. I currently have two rescue dogs. One terrier mix and a chihuahua, and they are my all. I have also had plenty of pets my whole life. My home was always full of pets, especially beagles. I had 5 beagles growing up and a Lab mix, it was always fun spending time with them and growing up around them <3 Spending time with animals genuinely makes me happy, and I love creating a safe, caring, and fun environment for them. I’m also fully bilingual and fluent in both English and Spanish. I am currently in the military, so my schedule may vary each week. However, I usually have more than 12 days off per month, giving me plenty of flexibility and time to provide dependable and caring pet services. I am also available to provide services inside SCOTT AFB. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. During walks, I make sure dogs get exercise, potty breaks, fresh water if needed, and plenty of attention and care. For drop-in visits, I can feed pets, refresh water bowls, provide potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and make sure everything is clean and secure before leaving. I always pay close attention to each pet’s personality, energy level, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I also enjoy sending photo updates so owners can feel at ease while they are away.
