About: I’ve had dogs and cats (and a couple smaller critters here and there) since childhood and understand that pets are family. I currently have four small rescue dogs at home and am active in dog sitting for local friends and rescues. I know how it feels to leave your loved ones in someone else’s care, and I will do everything I can to give you peace of mind and make your fur babies as comfortable and happy as possible. My schedule is flexible, and I’ll do my best to work with you around my full-time day job. I’m generally free in the evenings and on weekends, so keep me in mind if you need a night away but want company for your furry housemates. I am happy to stay with your pets overnight and can also make time for daytime check-ins/walks as needed. Be sure to check out my holiday availability as well! Your pet’s safety is my priority! I like to chat with you and meet your pet(s) before any scheduled bookings so we’re both on the same page about your instructions and expectations. I also value clear and frequent communication. (That includes pictures and updates of your loved ones while in my care!) I respect your home as my own and will leave it as clean, secure and maintained as I found it. If you have any house quirks or special instructions, just let me know. For boarding and daycare services (in my home), we ask that all dogs be spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, and taking monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention. We typically do not host pets from multiple households at the same time, but please let me know if you have more than one dog for boarding/daycare and I’ll get you a quote. For the safety of our pets and yours, we are not able to host large dogs, cats or (human) children in our home, but I’m happy to come to yours!

“I truly appreciated Katie to take care of my kitties when I was away. She loves my cats and my cats love her. They get along well at greet- meet section to understand my cats' habbits. I highly recommend Katie for taking care of your lovely pets when you are away. Thank you so much, Katie. Thank for the kitties' portraits in my kitchen. You are gifted and talented with arts and caring pets. Wish you all the best.”

About: As an emerging professional, I found it to be wise to not get an animal of my own quite yet, but through this opportunity I can still be around and interact with your loving animal(s). I have interacted with an array of dogs, and currently my family has had 3 dogs. Brandy, a golden retriever who loved being outside and swimming, Jack (who is in my profile picture) a cocker spaniel who loved a good nap, and our other dog Ziggy, a long haired dachshund who has calmed down over the years but loves to great people with his loud bark. I have experience working with older dogs who require medication, so if your pup/cat needs that attention, I’ve got you covered. I like to think I’m an active person, so walks will be had as well. I also love giving animals baths, so if you are interested that can be included in my services! Thank you for your consideration! I currently have a full time job, but would have mornings, lunch, and after 5pm available to love on your pet. I make it a priority to make sure they keep their schedule and have an ample amount of attention. I think keeping pets in their homes is especially important when their parents are away, so that’s why I am more than happy to come to them. Just like humans, I want to make sure they feel loved and cared for even when you are not there. I love to cuddle and play with all the pets I watch as well so they will not be missing out on attention (haha)!

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs all my life. I understand the needs and wants of a pet parent well. I’ll care for your fur babies like they’re my own 💛🐶 I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of free time to meet and play with new pups! Monday and Tuesday I have open availability and Wednesday-Sunday most weeks I will have morning/afternoon availability. Due to my own pack of fur babies at home, I only offer services in your home, so I’m open to whatever you need in your environment!

About: I've been raised with all kinds of dogs since I was young, from Pomeranian to Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I'm familiar with puppy behaviors, as well as care for elderly dogs. My days off are Monday & Tuesdays to give me plenty of time to care and play with your pets in the early mornings to overnights. Otherwise I currently work in the community Thurs-Sun 8am-5pm with Wednesdays being 12-5, though I'm able to step away for any walks, drop-ins, or play times needed! Please reach out with any scheduling requests and I'll do my best to accommodate for you! I prefer crate trained pets, much like my own, but I'm comfortable being around free roam and cuddly buddies! If given enough time in advance, I would love to meet your pet beforehand to ensure a comfortable and informative visit for the both of us.

“Zohreh really went above and beyond with caring for my cat, and was very attentive to her needs. She was great with communication and shared plenty of pictures each visit which I always appreciate.”

About: I am currently a veterinary student at uiuc looking to watch dogs in the morning before class and in the afternoons/ evenings after class. Excited to meet you and your pet! Full time veterinary student. I would be able to take care of your pet before 7 am and after 5pm throughout the week days! Weekends are generally free. I can easily crate your dog if needed, go on walks, place a harness and observe the dogs while within the home. I am excited to give a lot of loving and attention to your pets.

“Myk'La is really nice and did a great job caring for my cat, including feeding, petting, giving meds, and litterbox cleaning. I definitely recommend her and will use her again if she is available to watch my pets.”

“Jen is the absolute best!! Put this mama heart at ease coming to let the pups out and sending updates and pics throughout the visit! Top notch and so communicative! Thanks, Jen!”

About: Ive been around dogs a lot. I have 3 of my own. One named Hope. She’s more active, and needs alot of playtime. So I’m definitely good at managing that. One name is Oakley, he likes to be babied and cuddled. Ones name is Hank, and he is just the chillest dog haha. I already have dogs so I work 24/7 with my own. I have a lot of time on my hands so I’m free whenever. Anytime you just need a break I can come help, when you’re gone. I’ll do it. I give baths, I walk them, I play ball/fetch with them. I take them potty, feed them, give them treats. I do all the things it takes to take care of a dog, the same way you would treat a baby.

“Madie was incredibly nice and attentive. She was also very thorough with care instructions and making sure our cat would be comfortable while we were away. I'd 10/10 recommend her to anyone, and I'll definitely rebook her in the future.”

About: I’ve always had an extremely overbearing love for dogs 😍 I’ve been a dog mom for 6 years and would love to be a help ! I’m usually available on Thursdays and Fridays but if you ask for another availability any other day after 4:30 we could work that out as well! As a dog lover I’d take care of your babies just as much as I take care of mine ❤️ heavy on the love and affection for the fur babes!

“Kate has taken care of Gracie a few times and even brought her out so Gracie could be a part of our wedding day. She is reliable and great with our pup. Definitely recommend.”

“Carli did another great job with our dogs and cat while we were on a weekend trip! She made sure to give them plenty of time to run and play with every visit, and they love her company. She continues to be our go-to!”

About: I am comfortable with taking care of bigger and smaller dogs whether hyper or not. I love dogs and cats, so I am excited to watch them! Overall, I am really loving and excited to walk,play and take care of any animals that come my way in the same way I treat my own. My availability is flexible and open for the fall and winter months, so any time will do. I am ready for most booked services same day when in the urbana-champaign area. I grew up with a wide variety of dogs from pitbulls to yorkies to now raising 4 australian shepards. Each one has had their own unique care, and I would like to treat your animals as special as ive treated mine!

“Amy was great! She worked well with 2 senior dogs, fish, and pill bugs! She was dependable, and communicated well about any questions she had. I will definitely use her again, and recommend her without hesitation,”
