Pet Sitting in Viola

About: Hi, I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. Growing up, I helped care for multiple dogs (big and small). After moving out on my own, I adopted two cats who’ve become my best friends. I've also dog sat for family and friends many times, whether that meant quick daily visits or staying overnight. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets, from high-energy pups to shy kittens, and I genuinely enjoy giving them the love and care they deserve. Whether you're heading out of town or just need an extra hand, I’m here to help! I don’t work at all during the summer because I’m a school employee so I have a lot of free time on my hands to help care for your pets! I do go back to work mid August, meaning my availability will change and I won’t be free during the weekdays from 8-4. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s schedule and preferences to help them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether that means walks at specific times, giving medication, or just extra snuggles, I’m happy to accommodate. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

“Stephanie was great! She immediately engaged with Jovie and handled her extreme “puppiness” with a calm and inviting demeanor. Jovie warmed up to her right away and is already looking forward to their next play date!”

About: I used to live on a ranch including dogs and cats. I’ve had many years of caring for them and when anything happens to them, I’m the first one that gets called to get asked what they can do to help them. I am full time Monday-Friday but I would love to take care of your pets after! Anytime after 4:30 will be the best time I can come after work but on the days I’m off, anytime works Whatever the rules are, I will follow them. If dogs are needed to be crated at a certain time, I can do that and if they need free time constantly then I am all for that as well.

I have weekday, weeknight, and weekend availability through the end of July in Galesburg and the surrounding areas. I also offer overnight stays if needed! I am very attentive to the security of your home. I always check and double check every door is locked before leaving. I am no stranger to detailed care routines, and I always follow routines exactly as told! As a creature of habit myself, your pets schedules are very important to me!

“Sierra did a great job dealing with my antisocial Sunny. She's a one person cat. When I got back she was mad at me but well fed and healthy. I appreciate the way Sierra followed my instructions.”

“Zara was a fantastic dog walker for my chocolate lab!I will definitely be contacting her again. She was reliable and caring. I could tell instantly that she was a real dog lover!”

“We just LOVE April! She always comes through for us, and she loves our animals even though our dog is crazy!”

“I was very pleased with Ashlee and would definitely request her again to care for my pets (dog and cats). She asked detailed questions to prepare herself for their care and handled the special medication needs of both my dog and cat by taking a pic of their prepared food. She was dependable and on time. Her relaxed confident manner made my nervous dog at ease with a stranger. I would recommend her to others.”

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 have worked 3 years in the kennel business and am now a manager. I have had a love for dogs and cats ever since I was young and love caring for all types of breeds regardless of age, size, or anything else!

I will mostly provide services at the clients house since I have 2 pups of my own! I am more than willing to follow instructions and comply with any safety measures that need to be taken!

About: I’ve been a pet lover since I was a little girl. I’ve grown up around so many animals including my sweet horse Ace! My favorite is how every animal has their own personality, & the way they love us unconditionally without ever saying a word. I currently am working full time and going to school, but I am flexible and can find a way to fit your schedule! I am very open on weekends! I treat every animal like family and they will be in the best hands. I love meeting new furry faces and they will receive the best care!

About: Hi my name is Taylor! I grew up living on a farm caring for all kinds of little animals! I participated in my local 4-H group for 12 years and took many dog and cat care classes through the program. From a very young age I learned the responsibilities of making sure my pets were happy and healthy. I don't have any pets of my own at the moment and I would love to provide a safe and loving place for yours to stay. My schedule is subject to change! I just recently graduated from Arizona State University with my Bachelor's in Communication. I am looking to start my career soon and have been applying to multiple places. My availability will vary when this transition begins. I won't accept any Rover bookings if I don't feel I can give your pets the care and time they deserve. I am always open to connecting, so please reach out if you're needing someone to care for your fur babies! :) I have a huge outdoor yard that is fenced in! Lots of dogs I have watched in the past enjoy running around outside and getting some fresh air!

About: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician who loves pets of all species and sizes! I have 4 years of experience in the veterinary field with 2 years of veterinary technician schooling. I have had a dog since I was around 4 or 5 and ever since then I have loved animals beyond measure! I have pet sat for multiple people in my area. I can accurately feed, medicate, walk, bathe, bandage, recognize signs of emergency, perform CPR (in only the most extreme cases), etc for any pet needed I will soon be home a lot more often. While I do have to take care of my pets at home, I will be free most days through the week and I can do overnights on occasion. I am not comfortable bringing other pets into my home to meet my animals due to them being easily stressed. I will happily walk, spend the day with, snuggle your pets in your home or in public.
