About: One of my favorite things in life is animals! I’ve grown up with pets and know just how important they are. Pet care is more than a side gig to me because of how much I love all pets! I’m a Music Performance major at WIU. I play Tuba and Bass in many ensembles. In the summer, my schedule is very available. During school, I can be very flexible. I live in a pet friendly apartment and currently have no pets. There is a big yard outside the complex. You can trust me to take care of your pet in your home or my own. I care greatly no matter the home.

Stephanie M.
“Stef is a kind, patient, and extremely responsible pet sitter. She took care of our two demanding cats at her apartment for a week while we were out of town last summer. One cat required twice-daily oral medication - no fun for us as her owner, much less for a pet sitter, but Stef did it with ease. On the day of our return, she brought our kitties home and got them settled in - one less thing for us to worry about.”
Logan M.
“I cannot recommend Logan enough! He went above and beyond while caring for my dog, Leo. Not only did he follow all instructions perfectly, but he also gave my pup so much love and attention. I received regular updates, photos, and even a few sweet surprises like extra walks and playtime. It gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Truly a fantastic experience!”

“Evita takes great care of pets. She also goes above and beyond to make sure there fur is brushed and clear of debris or burs. She is great with medication, as week as grooming like giving baths and clipping nails. She is also conscious of anything a dog might get into or tear up. Plus she loves to go on walks!”
