“Ashley and her husband were amazing. We drove to her home beforehand and she gave us a tour of her home. She kept me up to date with pictures of my pup through his stay and I could tell he was very well taken care of. We will definitely be hiring Ashley for all our pupsitting needs. Highly recommend her!”
“Left our 12 yr. old springer spaniel with Mike and Sherry for 10 days and were very pleased that he seemed to be very comfortable and right at home. Enjoyed the many photos that were sent along with updates on how he was doing. Will definately call upon them in to future.”
“Darcie was fantastic! 100% would recommend. We did a meet and greet a couple weeks prior to the stay and I could tell it was going to be a great fit. She took excellent care of our pup. Darcie also communicated daily and can tell she has a love for dogs. We couldn’t have asked for a better week. If you are thinking of booking with Darcie - don’t hesitate!”
“Corinna was awesome! Everything went perfectly from the initial conversation to plan Max’s drop-off all the way until pickup. Corinna was attentive to all of Max’s special needs, she was very accommodating & had a wonderful set-up for Max to feel comfortable. She also had excellent communication skills, providing many photos & updates throughout his stay. I highly recommend Corinna. A++”
“I can't say enough good things about Emily. I can leave town for a few days or just a few hours and I 100% can trust and feel relieved that I have someone that I trust to take care of my dog Momoa. Every time she continues to wow me and my dog enjoys his time with her as well. Highly recommend.”
“Anna-Lena is the person you can absolutely feel safe and comfortable having your best friend stay with her! She was incredibly helpful with watching over my dog by having great communication, greeting the dogs and keeping me up to date with pictures and little notes on the stay! I know my dog enjoyed herself and I was able to enjoy myself knowing my dog was with someone that takes safety, security, and also fun into staying with her! She will always be my first choice whenever help is needed again!”
“Genna and Terry were wonderful with our two dogs Sophie and Myles. They played with them endlessly and got em tired out several times. They kept me posted with pictures and let me know how they were doing so I didn't have to worry about them. As sad as I am to say this my Sophie would rather be with Genna and Terry so as a dog parent I have to step up my game. I would strongly recommend Genna and Terry to anyone who needs a pet sitter and I will be recommending them to all my family and friends in the area s well as making them my regular per sitter.”
“Shalom was very well taken care of, she was comfortable and happy when we came to get her. She even seemed to have gained a little weight which we've been trying to get her to do for awhile now! Terry was very kind and polite and we'd gladly take Shalom back to him to be watched whenever we need!”
“Nyjeah W. Took good care of my Schnoodle Dog Hosanna and my cat Shylynn she was very responsive with updates, very reliable. I would recommend her if you need someone to watch your loving pets she's the best.”
“Mary is literally the best pup sitter. She takes such care of our pup like he is her own. You can tell her heart belongs to the dogs she sits for by how she takes care of them. You won't be sorry for choosing Mary.”
“Our pup just really took to Carol and had a great 2 days with her. She sent us pictures of him and let us know how he was doing through out his stay. We will definitely be using Carol again!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for many years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable following specific routines, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m able to be flexible with scheduling. I have availability on weekdays and weekends and can accommodate drop-ins, walks, and extended stays depending on your needs. I enjoy spending quality time with pets and make sure they receive plenty of attention, play, and care. I am a teacher, so in summer months, winter and spring breaks I will have quite a bit more of availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, routines, and feeding schedules provided by pet parents. I maintain a clean, calm environment and closely supervise pets during play and outdoor time. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any signs of stress, and I always communicate updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Taylor was absolutely incredible with my little kittie boy Blue! I was scared to board him as he's only 6 months old but Taylor took great care and showed deep compassion for him. He came home excited and almost refreshed. I highly recommend Taylor if you're looking to board your cat or any other animal. Her passion and love for animals is very evident. Taylor will be the first one I call next time! Thank you so much Taylor! 5 Stars aren't enough!”
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs since an early age. I’ve cared for my own pets and those of friends and family. I work from home Monday through Friday, so I’m able to be with your fur babies all day. Weekends are for fun and time outside walking and socializing. I live in an apartment with a fair amount of green space and a paved pond area for daily walks. I’m also conveniently located next to a dog park as well! I have two sweet kitties to keep your babies company throughout the day too.
“Our dogs LOVE staying with Dillon and Shadow! They always come home super exhausted from playing the entire time. Dillon loves our pups like his own. He is very responsive, sends pictures/updates, and was able to accommodate giving our dogs special food and medicine for stomach issues. Highly recommend for any pet sitting needs.”

I have experience with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, and giving cats the space they need to feel secure. Whether your cat is social or more independent, I make sure they’re calm, cared for, and well-looked-after while you’re away.

“Michelle was just absolutely wonderful with Snow and Storm. This was my first experience with Rover and Michelle's hospitality has made me a satisfied customer. Thank you!”
About: I've had cats my whole life (22 years), so I've had my fair share of cleaning litter boxes, treats, play time, brushing, feeding, etc. I have 3 cats right now and 2 are on medicine (pill and insulin) so I also feel comfortable being able to administer medication to your cat! I love seeing different personalities and colorings in cats and Hi! I’m a dependable and patient pet sitter with a special soft spot for cats having grown up with them! I understand that every cat has their own personality — some are playful and social, while others prefer quiet company and their personal space. I take the time to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for at their own pace. I’m experienced with daily feeding routines, litter box cleaning, playtime, administering basic medications if needed, and giving plenty of attention (or space!) depending on what your cat prefers. 2 out of 3 of my personal cats is on medicine (pill and insulin) so I am no stranger to administering medicine.

I’ll make sure you stay updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for. I will treat every pet like they’re my own and make their time away from you as stress-free as possible as I know I would want the same for my furry babies! I’d love to meet you and your cat!

In the spring I will note I coach, and may be gone for 2-3 hours maximum on some nights if there is an overnight pet. This scheduling information will of be provided ahead of time to ensure you know exactly how your pet will be cared for. As I work from home your pet will be watched all day.

Personally I’ll probably be outside with them :)

“We had a good first experience with Emilie as Poppy’s sitter. Poppy seemed to do well during her stay, and we appreciated receiving photo updates while we were away. Communication was smooth throughout, and we didn’t have any complaints. We would be more than comfortable booking with Emilie again in the future.”
“Genna and her family are wonderful! We were traveling from out of state, and had the opportunity to meet up with some old friends for dinner. We contacted Genna and she opened her home to our senior golden doodle. I was impressed that before saying yes, Genna asked some questions to make sure her home was a good fit. She sent pictures that reassured us that he was doing fine. She has a nice house and a larged fenced yard to insure the safety of your pet. I would absolutely recommend Genna for your pet sitting needs!”
About: I did a lot of dog/cat sitting back when I was in college (8 years ago). I have some time off of work and would love nothing more than to fill my schedule with watching your pets. I have experience in caring for dogs, cats, chickens, and some reptiles. I am off of work for a couple of months, so my availability is wide open! 7 days a week, morning or night would work. I live on an acreage, so our 3 dogs are on a wireless gps collar system. If your dog/s were to come to my yard, they would need to be somewhat collar-trained. At your house, I can walk dogs, play with your dogs in your yard, and hang out with them inside the house. For cats, I can play with them inside, and give them lots of company.
About: I’ve never met a dog that doesn’t like me. I donate a bag of treats each stay from my dog’s social media sponsor. We take a walk every single day. I am a teacher so I am out of the house from 7:45am - 4:00 pm Monday-Friday. I have some flexibility to leave early if need be. During lunch break, I use my Furbo camera to talk to my dog and launch a treat for him. I usually take my dog for a walk as soon as I get home from work. Weekends, I am typically home most the day. I have a ranch style single-family home that has a doggy door to a full turf and fully fenced back yard. I have the sweetest Golden Retriever that loves having other doggos come over. Warning: your pet will get lots of love and may not want to leave.
About: Hello! My name is Olivia, and I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've provided pet care for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m dependable, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about animals of all kinds. Growing up, my family always had dogs and cats, and I also have extensive experience caring for exotic pets, including reptiles, birds, and small mammals. I love spending time outdoors, have a flexible schedule, and am knowledgeable about a wide variety of animal species and their unique care needs. I strive to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away!🐶 I recently graduated from college and am looking for a summer position, which means I have a very flexible schedule and full availability to care for your pets whenever needed. Whether you're looking for someone to stop by for a few hours, provide daily care, or stay with your pets for multiple days, I'm happy to help. I also love spending time outdoors and would be more than happy to give your pets extra walks, playtime, and outdoor enrichment to keep them active and happy! My condo complex is very pet-friendly and features a grassy area that's perfect for potty breaks and outdoor time. There's also a walking trail right next to my home, providing a great space for daily walks and exercise. Inside, I have plenty of room for pets to relax, play, and explore comfortably. If your pet is crate-trained, I'm also happy to accommodate their routine and can provide crating if a crate is supplied.
About: Hi, my name is Heather I have been involved in caring for animals for many years whether it was my own pets or the grooming and boarding facility I worked for in my 20s. I am 50 years old. I am from the Quad city area originally but lived in Houston for 30 years, I recently moved back about seven years ago. I have a nice little house in Bettendorf with a great yard including a vinyl privacy fence. I will give your pet a loving fun, playful experience, and I’m very happy to send you video and pictures so you can see how your pet does while they’re with me . I usually let them out in the morning and feed the dogs I watch separately so there’s no fighting , same thing at about 4 pm in between they get pets , sleep, and run around in my yard ( weather permitting ) I am home every day of the week. I am gone for a few hours on Wednesday and Friday. Always attentive to pets in my care they will not be left outside for long periods of time , I often go and sit on my patio while the dogs are out , I also have a doggy door that fits up to large dogs .
About: I started dog sitting because I know what it’s like to leave your dog and spend the whole trip wondering if they’re okay. I’m Christy and I live in east moline Illinois , and my whole approach is built around keeping your dog happy at home where they’re comfortable. I’m big on communication — you’ll know when we walked, how they ate, what weird new toy position they invented, and you’ll get proof in photo form. I genuinely enjoy the little things: earning a nervous rescue’s trust, figuring out the exact scratch spot that makes a leg kick, or giving a senior pup the slow, patient walks they deserve. I treat every dog like they’re my own and every house like it’s mine. Dogs don’t care about your to-do list, they care that someone shows up for them. That’s why I love this, I get to be that person. Pet care is my day, not an add-on. I schedule walks, meals, meds, and playtime first, then build everything else around that. I’m up early for breakfast and potty breaks, available for mid-day visits, and home in the evenings for dinner, walks, and cuddles. Your dog gets consistency because my routine is designed I offer boarding and doggy daycare in my home here in east moline Illinois , and I’m home all day with the pups. Because I work from home, your dog isn’t left alone for hours, they get constant supervision, regular potty breaks in the yard, and someone to hang out with. I don’t use crates. I believe dogs do best when they can move freely in a safe, dog-proofed space, so I only take one client’s dogs at a time and make sure everyone gets along before booking. I stick to your dog’s normal feeding and walk schedule, and we spend the day based on what they need: playtime for the energetic ones, nap spots and quiet company for the mellow ones. You’ll get photo updates throughout the day so you know exactly how they’re doing. My house is their house while they’re here.
“I needed a sitter last minute for my very anxious dog and Aleece does amazing work with great flexibility. She sends updates including photos, videos, and reports throughout my day with my dog and takes great care of her. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a welcoming and warm environment for their dog.”

“Tiffany was great! We were traveling through Iowa and needed a place to leave Tommy for the afternoon so we could take a riverboat sightseeing tour. Due to poor planning on my part we had to find someone just a few days before our trip, but Tiffany responded to my request very quickly and was able to take him on short notice. She was so kind, and Tommy warmed up to her quickly. We really appreciated having a great place to take him for the afternoon!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for many years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable following specific routines, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care.

I have availability on weekdays and weekends and can accommodate drop-ins, walks, and extended stays depending on your needs. I enjoy spending quality time with pets and make sure they receive plenty of attention, play, and care. I am a teacher, so in summer months, winter and spring breaks I will have quite a bit more of availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any signs of stress, and I always communicate updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family since high school, caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets. My first job was at a dog kennel, where I gained hands-on experience with daily pet care, feeding, exercise, and handling dogs of all sizes. As an animal lover, I currently have two German Shepherds and five cats of my own. Since I work for the school district, I’m off for the summer and have a completely open schedule. This allows me to be flexible and available for daytime visits, last-minute bookings, and plenty of one-on-one attention for your pets I offer a variety of pet care services, including walks, kennel breaks, playtime, feeding, and companionship visits. Whether your pet needs exercise, a potty break, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help!

About: I worked in a kennel for a little over a year in which I practiced cleanliness, exercise, care, and assisted in giving medications. I have three dogs and two cats at home that I love unconditionally, and have taught me to have a lot of patience. I’m more of a dog person, but I love animals! I think it’s important to ensure yours and your animal’s comfort so I’d love to do meet and greets! Over the summer, I will be off for most of June and able to provide care during the week as well. Then I will be every other week during July, and back to being open on weekends during the school year. I take the time and care to get acquainted with the animals and recognize that they may need time to know I’m a safe person, so I’d love to do meet and greets whenever possible! I’d love to build consistent clients to continue to build a trusting relationship as well. Any mess I find will be cleaned up to the best of my ability, because as we know with animals, accidents happen!
About: Hi! My name is Amanda. I have worked in doggie daycare, worked as a bather and in the sales department! At work I got to experience different breeds, temperaments and personalities! My favorite part of my job is building strong relationships with the owners and their dogs! I also have experience dropping in homes while their owners are at work, school or out of town. When I do drop ins I have taken them on walks, picked up after them and fed them. I absolutely love working with all animals! I am known to have great communication skills, I am compassionate , and I am responsible. I pride myself in those traits and look forward to building a relationship with you and your family member! I do have a full time job working with adults with intellectual disabilities. Mon-Fri I do work from 730am-4pm. I am still available during the weekends and can also do house sitting during the days that I work! I will follow their daily routine and make them as comfortable as possible while you are away. While walking them I will keep distance from other animals to ensure their safety. I will also follow all dietary needs and feeding schedules.
About: I always had dogs in the house growing up. I treat them like my own kids, and I will do the same for yours! I have a wide variety of experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and behaviors. I'm always looking out for their needs and making sure they are comfortable and happy. We are home at all hours of the day so availability is very flexible! We love to be active and can't wait to play with your pup! I want to give busy owners the comfort and security I would want if a stranger was watching my dog. I will be in touch frequently with photos and updates while caring for your dog.
About: I’ve been around many dogs since I was little. Even viscous ones. But no type of dog scares me. Having a cane corso for about 4-5 years got me to be aware of any type of pets. Being around cats dosent worry me. Just as long as I pay attention to signs on what to and not to do. I work full time with kids and I love pet sitting for one of my friends. But usually after work I love to be around lovely pets. I will walk your dog personally. To be honest, letting a dog out in a yard doesn’t seem like they have much freedom. Taking them on an adventure is the way to do it so they have options. Treat them the way you would want to be treated is my motto.

About: I have had multiple dogs ranging from black labs to Saint Bernards! I have done dog walking here and there for over ten years. I am also a mom to an almost two year old (human) and I am very responsible. I’m currently not working and I am a student. Due to scheduling with my child’s other parent I am available every other weekend and Tuesday-Wed. Besides time with my child’s and class, I am free to care for your pet! I am very responsible with animals and professional in other peoples homes. I have house sat, cared for pets, and babysat without any issues within the home. I am happy to provide a safe and fun environment for your pet in your home.
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!
About: Grew up with all kinds of animals. Tons of experience babysitting animals for family, friends, and neighbors. Open to care for any pet any size/age!

“Ashley and her husband were amazing. We drove to her home beforehand and she gave us a tour of her home. She kept me up to date with pictures of my pup through his stay and I could tell he was very well taken care of. We will definitely be hiring Ashley for all our pupsitting needs. Highly recommend her!”
“Left our 12 yr. old springer spaniel with Mike and Sherry for 10 days and were very pleased that he seemed to be very comfortable and right at home. Enjoyed the many photos that were sent along with updates on how he was doing. Will definately call upon them in to future.”
“Darcie was fantastic! 100% would recommend. We did a meet and greet a couple weeks prior to the stay and I could tell it was going to be a great fit. She took excellent care of our pup. Darcie also communicated daily and can tell she has a love for dogs. We couldn’t have asked for a better week. If you are thinking of booking with Darcie - don’t hesitate!”
“Anna-Lena is the person you can absolutely feel safe and comfortable having your best friend stay with her! She was incredibly helpful with watching over my dog by having great communication, greeting the dogs and keeping me up to date with pictures and little notes on the stay! I know my dog enjoyed herself and I was able to enjoy myself knowing my dog was with someone that takes safety, security, and also fun into staying with her! She will always be my first choice whenever help is needed again!”
“Genna and Terry were wonderful with our two dogs Sophie and Myles. They played with them endlessly and got em tired out several times. They kept me posted with pictures and let me know how they were doing so I didn't have to worry about them. As sad as I am to say this my Sophie would rather be with Genna and Terry so as a dog parent I have to step up my game. I would strongly recommend Genna and Terry to anyone who needs a pet sitter and I will be recommending them to all my family and friends in the area s well as making them my regular per sitter.”
“Shalom was very well taken care of, she was comfortable and happy when we came to get her. She even seemed to have gained a little weight which we've been trying to get her to do for awhile now! Terry was very kind and polite and we'd gladly take Shalom back to him to be watched whenever we need!”
“Nyjeah W. Took good care of my Schnoodle Dog Hosanna and my cat Shylynn she was very responsive with updates, very reliable. I would recommend her if you need someone to watch your loving pets she's the best.”
“Mary is literally the best pup sitter. She takes such care of our pup like he is her own. You can tell her heart belongs to the dogs she sits for by how she takes care of them. You won't be sorry for choosing Mary.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for many years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable following specific routines, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m able to be flexible with scheduling. I have availability on weekdays and weekends and can accommodate drop-ins, walks, and extended stays depending on your needs. I enjoy spending quality time with pets and make sure they receive plenty of attention, play, and care. I am a teacher, so in summer months, winter and spring breaks I will have quite a bit more of availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, routines, and feeding schedules provided by pet parents. I maintain a clean, calm environment and closely supervise pets during play and outdoor time. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any signs of stress, and I always communicate updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Taylor was absolutely incredible with my little kittie boy Blue! I was scared to board him as he's only 6 months old but Taylor took great care and showed deep compassion for him. He came home excited and almost refreshed. I highly recommend Taylor if you're looking to board your cat or any other animal. Her passion and love for animals is very evident. Taylor will be the first one I call next time! Thank you so much Taylor! 5 Stars aren't enough!”
“Our dogs LOVE staying with Dillon and Shadow! They always come home super exhausted from playing the entire time. Dillon loves our pups like his own. He is very responsive, sends pictures/updates, and was able to accommodate giving our dogs special food and medicine for stomach issues. Highly recommend for any pet sitting needs.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since the ripe age of 7 with basic care of water/food in bowl and every 2-4hrs of potty. Whether it was friends or family. Didn't start going professional till 15 with babysitting for children and their family pups! For cats, I own a cat myself and been taking care of her for 8 years. With consistent of litter changes, basic necessities and cuddles! I am free majority of the summer before college. Tuesday's will not be free. But for majority of the week, I'm available as early as 10:00Am till late nights I have a fenced yard for your dog to run around in. I have one female lab and one male Chihuahua that are friendly and can interact with other dogs. (Also have one female cat!) My home is very much spacious, if your dog needs to be crated as well!
“Armani is an amazing pet sitter. She looked after pepper for a weekend and it was the most stress free pet sitting experience. She was very good at communicating and sent lots of pictures. She even bought pepper toys and treats. Amazing experience. Definitely gonna rebook!!!”
“Joe was really great with my dog who has separation anxiety. He took the time to let her get comfortable and trust him. He also checked in throughout, which gave us peace of mind!”
