About Us
Two passions. One mission. Giving animals the care and attention they deserve.
Who We Are
EJS Pets & Exotics was built on a simple belief: every animal deserves genuine, attentive care. Whether it's a nervous cat who needs a calm presence or a tiny jumping spider exploring its enclosure, we find joy in understanding and caring for them all.
Our team comes from a healthcare background, which shapes everything we do. Being detail-oriented, dependable, and consistent isn't just a work habit — it's the foundation of how we approach every pet visit, every feeding, every interaction.
We keep our client list small on purpose. We'd rather give a few pets our full attention than rush through a dozen stops. Quality over quantity, always.

Two Sides of EJS
Pet Care
Drop-in visits and dog walking for pet parents who want someone calm, reliable, and genuinely invested in their animals. We specialize in cats but love all pets. Every visit comes with photo updates so you always know your baby is doing great.

The fun, educational side of EJS. We're building a community around these incredible little creatures — sharing care tips, fun facts, and following our spiders' journeys on social media. Regina is the current star, with more crew members on the way.

Right now we're offering pet care services in the Decatur, IL area — but we're travelers, so we could be in a city near you soon. We'll update this page when that happens.
In the meantime, follow along on social media for spider content, care tips, and updates on where we're headed next. And if you need a pet sitter who actually cares — you know where to find us.
