Dog Sitting in Wood River

“Megan is the best! She’s reliable and loves all animals!! I will be using her again without hesitation!”

“Ali regularly drop-in visits with our two cats when we travel. She does a great job caring for them and communicating with us. We always look forward to her updates from the visits!”

“Ali did an awesome job with our 4 fur babies, I think they love her more than us now. She was very attentive to their medications making sure they took the right amount, on time, and even had to add a day worth of medication because of issues our trip incurred. She was very diligent about making sure they had plenty of playtime (fetch) weather permitting. I'm thinking she might want to take up dog photography because she got quite of few fabulous pictures that we can never seem to get. The only reason I wouldn't recommend her is because I want her just for my fur babies, in all seriousness I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER for taking care of fur babies (dogs) especially if they have to take oral medication.”

“First time hiring Kelly to look after 3 cats and we knew they would be in good hands after the meet and greet. She provided pictures and detailed updates on how they were behaving (2 cats were recovering from respiratory issues). And our cats took to her quite readily. Great care and peace of mind while on vacation. Highly recommended.”

About: I have had my own pets since I was a young child. I have taken care of many of my friends, family, neighbors, and church members pets over the years. I love dogs and kitties and believe they deserve to be well taken care of. They depend on us to be good to them and are at our mercy. If they are mistreated they can't say anything. This makes it that much more important to be good to our pets. I am not currently working so I have a lot of free time. I have 6 grown children who are on thier own. Two in college, the rest with their own families. I have one friendly lab mix who loves playmates. A fenced in yard, doggie door, and all hardwood floors so accidents are not tragic! I am within walking distance of our city bike/walking trail for long doggie walks.

“Jamie was really nice. She played with my kitties and even fed and watered the outdoor feral cat that come up. She was on time and always sent photos of my cats even the one who is timid and was always hiding under the bed and gave him treats. My other kitty looked forward to her coming over. I would recommend her as a pet sitter”

About: As a passionate dog lover, I’ve been providing dog sitting services for 20 years, and it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life! Throughout my journey, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a diverse range of breeds, from energetic puppies to laid-back seniors. Each dog has its own unique personality, and I’ve loved tailoring my care to meet their individual needs—whether it’s extra playtime, long walks, or cozy cuddle sessions on the couch. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for every dog in my care. I’ve developed strong routines that include regular feeding schedules, exercise, and plenty of mental stimulation through games and training. My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels loved and happy while you’re away! I also understand how important communication is. I provide daily updates and photos so you can see just how much fun your pup is having. Many of my clients have commented on how relieved they feel knowing their dogs are in capable hands. Being a dog sitter isn’t just a job for me; it’s a chance to build lasting relationships with amazing pups and their owners. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and give them the love and attention they deserve! I work from home, so your fur baby can go out frequently and get extra cuddles during the day! This is especially beneficial for puppies and older dogs. My large backyard, complete with a secure 4-foot fence, is the perfect playground for dogs to run, explore, and enjoy the great outdoors—especially on sunny days! At night, your furry friend will feel right at home. I provide a variety of cozy sleeping options, including crates, comfortable beds, and even couches for those who love to snuggle up. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment, so your pup will have a restful night’s sleep after a day full of fun.

About: I have watched dogs of all sizes from about 7 lbs to 120. My best friend has two Great Pyrenees who I watch and play with all the time. I had a Shih Tzu for about 12 years that I was responsible for feeding, walking and taking to the vet to keep vaccinations updated. I also have watched my aunts Yorkie multiple times. Being on summer break gives me lots of time for any responsibilities necessary. I am a teacher on summer break so right now I can give your dog/dogs lots of love and attention. I have plenty of time to go for walks. I have no dogs at this time as I just put my last dog down in September. I have lots of time for walks, love and will be able to feed them whenever needed. My goal is to keep them on their normal routines to ensure they are comfortable.

“Kate did such a great job taking care of our lil Fur-Family members. We’ll use her again & we recommend using her.”

“Jenee did an amazing job taking care of our cats. Our Garfield and Morticia were always excited to see her and get pets. Our cats really enjoyed her company. She even went above and beyond to even feed and water the outside feral cats that like to take up residence on our porch. Next time we go out of town we will definitely be more than happy to have Jenee watch our cats. They will be in good hands.”

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for friends’ and family members’ pups of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve looked after everything from 14-week-old puppies to senior rescues. I’ve also worked with dogs who need medication, have special needs like blindness or anxiety, or just have tons of energy to burn. I approach every dog with patience, compassion, and personalized care — as if they were my own. As a full-time student with a light class schedule — just a few hours in the evenings Monday through Thursday — I’m available nearly all day, every day. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent care, timely check-ins, and plenty of attention for your pup throughout the day. When boarding dogs in my home, I provide a peaceful, dog-friendly space where your pup can relax and feel at ease. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and live in a quiet, walkable neighborhood that's perfect for regular walks and sniff breaks. I maintain a consistent routine, supervise playtime, and ensure your dog always has a cozy spot to rest — just like they would at home. Being welcomed into someone’s home to care for their pet is a responsibility I take seriously. I’m clean, respectful, and always follow care instructions closely. I create a calm, safe environment for each dog, keep communication open with regular updates, and do everything I can to make sure both you and your pup feel secure and supported.
