About: I've taken care of dogs my entire life, both young and old! Dogs mean the world to me, and I'd love to support your furry loved ones! I work remotely full-time from home, so I'm able to fit quality pet care easily into my schedule. Since I control my own hours, I can provide frequent potty breaks, walks, and constant companionship throughout the day. I currently have a large fenced yard with a doggy door that gives pets easy outdoor access. I always supervise outdoor playtime to ensure safety and double-check all gates are securely locked before letting any animals out.

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.

About: I am passionate about my love for animals and enjoy meeting as many as I can. As someone with several pets myself I understand it can be difficult to find care that is both reliable and affordable, so I am priced to accommodate multi-pet families. No matter how many pets you have or what kind, I will care for them like they’re my own. I work night shifts from home, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I spend a lot of time with my own pets and there is never a dull moment, they keep me entertained. I am almost always fostering cats/kittens, which unfortunately does make me unable to provide care in my own home at this time. I’m a big fan of the Buddy System and bring my partner with me to all new client meet & greets as a safety precaution. Jakob is a Rover-verified sitter and animal lover. He’ll give your pets extra attention while he gives me peace of mind. As far as the pets themselves are concerned, every animal I’ve ever met has had their own unique personality with unique needs. Please let me know ahead of time if there are any specific safety concerns you know of so I can tailor my care to whatever will be best for your pet(s).

I have experience with everything from playful puppies to seniors needing extra care and attention. I understand how important routines, patience, and love are when it comes to making pets feel safe and happy. Your pets will be treated like family in my care. I offer flexible boarding for pets who are comfortable hanging out at home during the day. I make sure everyone gets their energy out in the mornings, has a safe space while I’m at work, and then gets lots of love, potty breaks, and playtime in the evenings and on weekends. I treat every pet like family and make sure they’re safe and happy while you’re away. Whether your dog needs playtime, snuggles, or just a calm place to relax, I’ll make sure they’re cared for like one of my own.
