“Katie was so awesome. Our Flynn Ryder has never been away from home and he had a bit of anxiety after we dropped him off, Katie went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the day and got him to finally start to open up and make some friends. We can not recommend her enough to everyone. If you are looking for someone to love on your baby, Book Katie NOW. She is everything.”

“We had a great experience leaving our Aussidoodle, Willie, with Cynthia and her sweet lab, Luna. I received numerous pictures and was happy to know Willie had a very large, fenced in yard for roaming and exercise. Cynthia treated Willie like her own and gave positive feedback about his stay. I won't hesitate to request Cynthia for future boarding.”

About: I worked in the veterinary field for 10+ years and petsmart for 7 years. I am a certified dog trainer in basic obedience and desensitization for veterinary visits. I can provide basic vet care for at home pets. I am the to go person for answering questions and helping out. Did I mention I just love animals? I am availible most of the time, unless I am already booked. I do work relief on occasion as an assistant for short shifts. I also do freelance art at home! When I'm not working I'm mostly a squishmallow, cuddly couch potato. Perfect for your furry little friends. We will have a daily routine focused around food, potty, play, and sleep. I won't lie, I'm a late riser, perfect for snuggling fur friends. For walks, drop-ins, and stays, I am willing to offer short walks(15-20min) a few times a day for potty breaks, and extra cuddles if desired. For in-home sitting, pets will be able to free play with in-home pets, plus access to large fenced yard. For all bookings, practical training may be given as nessesary for structure during that time. Plenty of toys and treats will be given (with your permission of course.) Please consider I have a friendly dog I may keep with me if you want an overnight stay. The dog is good with most dogs and likes cats. Otherwise, I'm happy to hang out during the day for a while and do drop-ins. Please be aware there may be extra charges for additional or expanded services as well as frequent or difficult services

About: I will treat your dog like how I treat my goldendoodle Winnie who lives with my parents in Breese, IL. My family’s goldendoodle Louie passed away in November 2023. I will make sure your dog will get the exercise he/she needs on the walks. I am available after 5pm on weekdays for drop ins and dog walks. On the weekends, I am available all day for all services!!! I work from 9am-5pm most days. I have experience taking care of two dogs at the same time. I am very calm, trustworthy, genuine, and easygoing person. You will not have to worry when your dog is in my care. I now offer dog boarding. I have a spacious backyard with a fence. I work full time! I work in the office in Granite City on Friday until 5pm so overnight boarding drop offs will need to be after 5:30pm. I am able to drop in before work and after work. I will able to drop in before your dog’s bedtime! I will make sure that your dog gets the attention he/she deserves while his/her owner is away while doing drop in visits. During drop ins, I will also feed your dog and take your dog outside if requested. I am also good at giving dog baths!

“Jasmin was absolutely amazing with my Zoey! From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable leaving my baby with her. She sent me pictures, videos, and daily updates, and I could tell Zoey was happy, comfortable, and having the best time. Zoey was so excited to meet her and settle in for her stay! Unfortunately, Zoey got sick during the visit, and Jasmin truly went above and beyond. She was incredibly attentive, accommodating, and willing to do whatever she could to make sure Zoey was comfortable and well cared for. Having someone care for your baby with that level of patience and compassion, especially when you're away from home, means everything. I can't recommend Jasmin enough! We already know exactly who we'll be calling for our next vacation. We officially found the perfect sitter for Zoey! ❤️🐾”

Liz A.

About: 🐾 Hello, pet parents! 🐾 Whether your pet needs a potty break, playtime, fresh food and water, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to earn your trust. What sets me apart is a lifetime of experience caring for animals. I’ve been responsible for pets since childhood and have cared for animals through all life stages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. I have experience giving medication, following detailed care instructions, and providing individualized attention. I work full-time from home, which allows me to provide reliable care, consistent attention, and peace of mind while you’re away. I am also a mom of two children and three fur babies, so caring for a busy, loving household is part of my daily life. I offer a free meet and greet so you and your pets can feel comfortable before booking. I will always treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. 🐾 My Availability * Drop-in visits: Weekdays before 9 AM or after 5 PM. I’ve opened up to three visits per day, so feel free to request a midday visit and I’ll check my schedule! * Weekends: Fully flexible for drop-ins and pet care. * House sitting: Typically available Friday–Sunday, but I’m happy to check my calendar for urgent needs. 🏡 Pets Staying in My Home Dogs must be well-behaved, potty-trained, and good with cats. I don’t currently have a fenced yard, so all potty breaks and walks will be on a leash. Pets are welcome on the furniture, and crate-trained dogs are preferred when possible. Have a need outside my listed availability? Just message me! I absolutely love pet sitting and will do my best to accommodate your needs and make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away! 🐶🐱 I provide care that is personalized to each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. I understand that pets feel most secure when their normal routines are maintained, so I follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, playtime, enrichment, and daily habits. During drop-in visits or home sitting, I will treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect and care. I’ll provide plenty of love, attention, companionship, and positive interaction while you’re away, along with updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for in their own familiar environment.

“I'm so grateful to have found Cynthia. They went above and beyond to take care of my dog and I couldn't be happier with the service they provided. She kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and updates, which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter - they're the best!”
