“Excellent communication, caring, affectionate, loving, respectful, and sincere. I felt released that Holly sends several videos and pictures while I was out of town. Holly is a great job!! Awesome!!”
“Our dog had a quick first stay with Nate and he did an awesome job with her. He went above and beyond walking her, and she spent time running around in his backyard. She came home exhausted and happy!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my two aussiedoodles for the week. Christina was so caring and very professional. I was able to book on short notice and pickup and drop off when it worked for me. She treated my pups like they were hers and sent pictures of them going to the park, playing basketball, and cuddling up with her. I’m so grateful for such an amazing sitter that truly has a passion for caring for animals.”
“Audra and her son Jordan were amazing with our dog. They kept us informed with pictures and updates, and we never worried once because we knew our sweet pup was in caring, loving hands. Great experience from start to finish!❤️🐶”
“Lindsay was great with Belle. She knew I was concerned because it was her first visit. She updated me with pictures and let me know how she was doing. I will definitely take Belle to Lindsay’s again.”
About: My whole life I have always preferred animals over humans so as an adult my goal has been to turn it into my profession. I have cared for all kinds of animals from bugs to sheep, the least being livestock but i would love to learn more and better my skills in every way I can. With animals I am always down for whatever can or will come my way. In the most recent years I have been doing a lot of work with the pups that are a little extra spicy✨ after finding my own dog in a corn field and her ending up with reactivity and aggression, it really opened my mind to not just be a dog lover but someone who understands dog behavior to be able to keep them happy☺️ Unless I am out of town(rarely happens) I can almost always make it work! Even if it’s adding an xtra visit to make sure your baby gets everything they need🫶🏻 I care for every animal like I would my own babies. I like to keep things as close to normal for them as possible so never feel like you are telling me too much!
“Was great experience for Remington, was great to be able to meet them before and have Remington check out the new place. He made couple new friends and enjoyed himself and was well cared for.”
“Grainne loved these sitters. She was well cared for. When I picked her up, they (tactfully) asked about her wheezing (I’d forgotten to tell them). I think that showed me their love of animals. I would definitely ask them to sit again. They also worked with me on pick up and drop off times. Nice people.”
“Ben was kind enough to sit for us on very short notice! Great communication and wonderful service. I could not be more grateful for the kindness to us and our dog Ruby, and I would highly reccommend Ben to others looking for someone to watch their fur babies.”
“She was wonderful with Radar! Had no problems, walks went well, even got pictures of his stay. She kept us up to date on how he was doing on his stay. We did not have worry one bit. We are definitely using her again for future stays for Radar. Highly recommend her!”

“I cannot say enough how wonderful it was having Terri take care of our cats! We got great pics every day showing just how happy they were with her drop-ins. One of our cats is very standoffish and gets topical medication daily. We would have considered it a victory if she got him even every couple of days. Terri made him feel so comfortable that she was able to give it to him every single day! We would trust Terri with them absolutely anytime.”
About: I’m a pet owner in Decatur offering weekday dog walks and drop-in visits for dogs and cats. If your pet needs a potty break, a meal, or some company while you’re at work, I’d love to help. Along with caring for my own pet, I help care for horses at 2 local ranches. I enjoy the everyday work that comes with caring for animals, including feeding, cleanup, exercise, and attention. I take time to learn your pet’s routine and personality, follow your care instructions, and send photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing. Morning visits: 7:30–10:30 a.m. Midday visits: Noon–4 p.m. Evening visits: 5–9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Overnight stays are accepted on a case-by-case basis. I take a limited number of bookings so I can give each pet consistent, attentive care. I prefer to care for pets in their home so routine and stress levels are kept consistent and low. I follow instructions closely, adjust to each pet’s needs, and prioritize safety. You can expect dependable communication and updates while you’re away.
“My kitty, Sedona, is super friendly anyways but it was simply amazing how fast she took to Heather. It instantly eased my worries about having to be gone so long. Will be using Heather again!”
“Mary Ann provided us with excellent service during our recent absence from home. She reliably provided us with information on how our two Siamese cats were doing as well as daily photos of their activity. Regarding a couple of issues on which we had failed to provide complete details, she promptly got in touch with us for further instructions. We would highly recommend Mary Ann to other pet owners.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was young, family and friends have allowed me to take care of them. I enjoy taking them on walks, petting them and giving the attention they deserve, and taking care of them. I will treat them just as you would and offer extended stays. For stays longer than 5 days, most I have done is a month and a half as of present, you will return to a clean home 😊 I am strong and able to keep my stability while walking dogs, am able to let them out, feed them, give baths, and offer other services for the home like my interior design skills which is another side business, that can be spoken about, if interested.
About: I’ve had pets in the home my entire life; cats, dogs, fish, hamsters and Guinea pigs. I have been the proud owner of a pit bull, pit bull mix, boxer, lab and a St Bernard. I currently have a German Shepherd, Zeus, that is my whole heart. My son and I with help of tons of videos and research have taught our boy 20+ commands/words. I run/walk/hike with him 3-4 times a week in snow/rain/cold/humidity. We actively play and train daily. I put every effort into giving my fur babies the best life possible. I mean, we chose them, they didn’t choose us. I have owned short and long haired cats. I am familiar with the daily grooming for long haired felines. I currently am a cat mom also to a short and long haired. I am very familiar with kitten and puppy care as well. I have a full time job Monday through Friday. I am available week days after 3:30 and all day on Saturday, Sunday and major holidays. I will follow the instructions given to me for drop ins. I certainly wouldn’t put your pet in harms way playing indoors/outdoors or on a walk.
“Brittney is fantastic! She has helped us during a couple of travels taking care of our cat. Super formal and great adaptability. Definitely we recommend her and looking forward to continue working with her.”
“Madison was great! She was extremely warm and friendly and it was clear that she made our pet feel loved and cared for while we were away. She took detailed notes when we explained our preferred care for our pet, and was very thorough with her check-ins, being sure to send cute photos and detailed visit summaries. You can tell that Madison truly loves all animals and pets, and we cannot recommend her enough!”
“Ben was GREAT!!! We were anxious to leave our cats alone for a week and he came by and gave them pets a few times and made sure they had food. Totally put my mind at ease! We appreciate you, Ben!!!”

“Best dog sitter I’ve found yet! Holly is great with my dog, has excellent communication and has been super flexible with my schedule. Couldn’t recommend more, both for walks and dog sitting she goes above and beyond to be sure my dog is taken care of!”
“We’ve been using Nate for a couple weeks and our dog Boomer LOVES his time there. He’s great about taking Boomer for walks and playing with him. Boomer has severe separation anxiety so it’s hard to find someone we really trust not to leave him alone. We’ve found that trust with Nate.”
About: I have owned 2 beagles in the past and now my son and I are finding many repeat clients with dogs and cats! Looking forward to meeting you! I am available most days for a morning/evening check in and around most weekends as well! Overnights are a possibility depending on your needs too! I would love to host a sweet pup at my house while I work from home! I am highly detail oriented, dependable and honest. I will follow your instructions and let you know if I have any questions or notice anything needing your attention!
“Lindsay is absolutely amazing with my spunky, crazy husky! She watches her one day a week to give us a break and give her lots of love and play time. She also watched her for a long weekend. I am very picky on who watches my little girl and I have full confidence every time I drop her off!”
About: First off I have owned dogs/cats since I was 8 and I’m a huge pet lover! I have 2 dogs and a cat which are all very loving and well socialized with all types of pets and people! My husband and I have been happily married since 2018 and have 2 children. I am a stay at home wife and mom and love to spoil all fur babies and give them lots of lovings. I’m a big walker and love a good game of fetch, tug of war, frisbee, or just running around with everyone! I have a reliable car so I’m offering at home sitting where I’ll take your pet out every hour if needed and play/take them on walks. I’m also available to just stop by to walk/play with your pet for any desired amount of time. I am completely open and offering doggy day camp where we will play, go for walks, and socialize with other pets and people. My biggest hit is overnight care so if you go on vacation, need a couple nights/days to yourself, emergencies... I’m available to keep your fur baby over night and for long periods of time no matter the circumstance. I do not require your pet be crate trained if I’m sitting at my house or during doggy day camp but if they stay over night I require they be crate trained or atleast potty trained. I’m completely open to sitting/caring for cats or other pets you may have except for reptiles. While your pets are with me I will be working on training them and perfecting manners with consistent treats and praising for good behavior. I’m very patient and love working with animals! I’m extremely flexible and don’t need much notice for thoes times you’re in a pinch! If you choose to leave your pet with me then I guarantee your pet will be well loved and treated with much respect and gentleness!! I am currently a stay at home mom and will have plenty of time to give your fur baby the attention and care they need. We live in a smoke free environment and have 2 dogs and a cat for your kiddos to play with. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I respect your personal space while taking care of your fur baby!
About: I started pet sitting when I worked at my first vet clinic. And, because I love animals so much, I have never stopped. I grew up with dogs, cats, ducks and every pet in between! Currently, I have 2 dogs, a Jack-Russell mix named Jake and a Beagle mix named Macy. They are extremely pet/people friendly and they love new company! Also, I worked as a veterinary assistant for a a few years, so I am very comfortable with administering medications and taking care of your pets special needs. I will provide whatever accommodations that are needed and I will make sure that your pets feel safe and comfortable. Most of all, I will always keep an open line of communication with you. I know how it feels being away form your pet and I know the importance of regular updates and pics. I look forward to hearing from you and I can’t wait to met your pets! :) 🏡 House Sitting + Boarding 🏡 (Overnight) Evening - Morning; I do offer some flexibility, however there could be an additional fee if check in/out times are drastically different from what I have set. I currently work from home full time. This means I can fully dedicate all of my time to your fur babies and their individual needs. I will care for your pet/pets the same way every single time. And, I will always treat your pet/pets as is if he or she were my own.
“We decided to spend one day in Springfield and to be able to enjoy all the local Lincoln attractions and the Dana Thomas House we had to find a daycare. Kimberly was definitely the right choice. We felt welcome. Beau was right away happy. Don't hesitate one second to entrust Kimberly to take care of your dog.”
“I’ve taken Lexi over twice for day care with Pamela and we will definitely rebook. She takes her for a nice long walk in the morning and my doggo seems so happy and excited to be there, and tired when she comes home again, lol. Thank you Pamela for taking such good care of my Lexi!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with anyone other than my parents and Shadia was so great! Judy usually takes a minute or two to warm up but was drawn to his energy right away. He was communicative and patient with her. Highly recommend him! Thanks again Shadia, you’re a lifesaver! PS I’m so sorry she pooped in your house!!!”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover living on a working farm, so caring for animals is part of my everyday life. I own dogs of my own as well as livestock, giving me hands-on experience with animals of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Being attentive, patient, and proactive with animal care comes naturally to me. My farm provides a calm, safe environment with plenty of room to explore, run, and play. Dogs staying with me will enjoy lots of fresh air, exercise, and enrichment throughout the day. Whether your dog loves long walks, free time to stretch their legs, or just relaxing in a peaceful setting, I tailor care to their needs and routine. I treat every animal as if they were my own and understand that each pet is unique. From high-energy pups to laid-back companions, I focus on comfort, safety, and plenty of love while you’re away. I am available 7 days a week for boarding. Taking care of animals is my daily job so adding in a few more is no big deal around here. Here is an idea of a daily schedule for your pet: -Morning potty break, breakfast, and walk -Supervised outdoor play with room to run -Midday rest, check-ins, and enrichment -Afternoon walk or playtime -Dinner, evening potty break, and wind-down -Final potty break and bedtime Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Living on a working farm, I am experienced in supervising animals and maintaining a calm, structured environment. Dogs are always monitored during outdoor time, with secure areas for play and exercise. I follow each dog’s individual routine and needs, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, and activity levels. Whether your dog enjoys active play or a quieter pace, care is tailored to them. My farm offers plenty of space to move, explore, and relax in a safe, stress-free setting. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and livestock, I understand animal behavior and take trust seriously. You can feel confident knowing your pet is cared for with attentiveness, consistency, and respect—just like one of our own.
“We were in town for work. Clyde spent the day with Samantha and her kids and dogs and he was so tired when I picked him up. It was exactly what we needed for Clyde. Samantha was very nice and communicated well with us. She took good care of our dog so we can enjoy some of our time while here for work. Samantha has a fenced in yard which made me feel safe with Clyde as he is a runner. Haha”
