“We’ve had several successful bookings with Jason. This is the first place I can leave my dogs and not worry about them while I’m gone. Jason and his family do a great job!”

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.
“Jamie is the BEST! Will be rebooking with her over and over and over again. So kind, flexible, and loving to my puppy! Just a great human that I trusted with my baby immediately. Cannot recommend enough!”

“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!”

“We really felt comfortable leaving our dog Cooper with Eve-she kept us up-to-date with ongoing photos and activities. Our dog made new dog and cat friends, took amazing walks, and got lots of cuddles. Would strongly recommend Eve to other pet owners. .”

“Stephanie took great care of my dog; he gets really anxious around new people but during his stay he had a great time. She is very communicative and kept me in the loop with pictures and updates. I would highly recommend her!”

“Jeannette always does a great job with my kitties. This time even got my shy girl with recent front leg amputation to come out and play! Appreciate that she is available even on holidays. I can visit my family and know that my kitties are taken care of.”


About: From caring for my own two cats over the last 13 years, to making friends with almost every cat I come across in multiple countries, I have the knowledge and experience to ensure your cats’ comfort and safety during your absence!

About: Cats are such an intelligent species and we should be so honored that they allow us to take care of them. (I think my cat stole my phone there^) 😂 I have cared for cats (my own and others) since I was 16. Cats are often portrayed as the easier pet due to them not having to be walked like a dog. I feel that is a very common misconception, cats require lots of attention and stimulation due to high prey drive. If you’re hiring someone to care for your kitty while you’re away your expectation is that they will get the same level of care and attention that you would give them and I can assure you I would wear them out, so no kitty’s are left feeling bored or pent up.

“Fig had a wonderful time. He is a 3 month old large breed with an endless supply of energy, but is sleeping and snoring as I write this review! Eve did a great job updating me and sending photos throughout my work day.”
