“Caitlin was a great boarding host! We left our 1 year old mix Ursa with her for a week; it was our first time leaving our pup for a vacation and she helped ease our fears! You could tell she knew what she was doing; she had her own meet & greet, notes, and sent multiple updates and pictures while we were gone. Will definitely rebook whenever we're out of town :)”
“Annadel was so sweet and patient. I’ve never used Rover before and she helped me every step of the way. We’ve never used a over night sitter before so my nerves were through the roof. But her constant updates quickly calmed me. Bonnie will definitely be back. Thankyou to you and your family for being so inviting to my baby”
“Kolton was fantastic! He was very professional and organized and I knew I was leaving my dog in good hands! This was our first experience with Rover and it went great. Kolton called us beforehand to learn more about Nala and her schedule, feeding, treats, and medications. We were able to ask any questions and get to know more about him as well. This helped us feel so much better about her stay. He sent updates and pictures of Nala while he was watching her so we always knew how she was doing. Our pup had a blast!! Thanks Kolton!”
“WOW. Feiran truly exceeded our expectations and was perfect for Foxxy's dog vacay. She was always quick with her responses and eager to listen to our specific instructions, easing our fears. Foxxy is tough to please, and she got along fine with Feiran's dog, as well as some other friends that stopped along. Knowing that our hosts would be home all day really made the difference for me. Foxxy didnt' have a dull moment with her twice daily visits to the park, along with a few bonus hikes that really worked her out! It was a treat to receive daily photo updates to see that she was having a great time, and in good hands. Foxxy even starred in two music videos during her vacay! We now have some lasting memories of her good times.Thanks again Feiran for being a wonderful host and a true pal to our red dog... she'll definitely be back!”
“Always trust Lainey with my girl! She has taken care of her as she has grown up and has gotten to know my puppy so well! My dog gets to go on vacation when she boards with her!”
“Serina watched my dog, Rita, over Christmas and I was so thankful to leave her in good hands. Serina provided daily updates, tons of photos, and was flexible and communicative. I was able to enjoy time with my family knowing I could trust my dog was well taken care of and well loved.”
“Kellie was wonderful! She was thoughtful and asked all the right questions to make sure she could give my dog Jersey the best care possible. I'll definitely be looking to Kellie for my future pet-sitting needs!”
About: Hi there, I’m Sierra! I currently reside in Champaign and work at a few daycare/boarding facilities here. I’m currently going to school to become a vet tech, so on top of having animal care experience I also have some vet med experience! I have two dogs of my own and spend everyday around all sorts of dogs, miniature to giant! I look forward to meeting you and taking great care of your pup! Pet care fits into my daily routine best in the morning since I go to work in the pm, but I work with animals every day and have a different schedule every day! If my schedule looks confusing or even if I have a day marked unavailable that you need pet care on, please reach out to me, I’m always willing to see if I can move anything around to accommodate! Pets will feel right at home here! I offer an unfenced area for them to run and potty as well as living not far from a dog park. I always make sure the dog is comfortable with me at all times and take the steps needed to gain and maintain their trust, I never want to stress the animals out in a new environment or in their own environment.
“Rae took such good care of our girls. They went on lots of walks! One of our dogs is diabetic and she gave her insulin twice a day. She sent lots of pictures and reported how they were doing. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Our two dogs boarded with Milo for a week. We can tell from the pictures, and their attitude when we picked them up, that they were happy and well-cared for. They especially got lots of snuggles, their favorite thing in the world! We would be happy for our dogs to stay with Milo again in the future.”
“Justin took great care of Luke and Leo! They were happy and well looked after. We’re very pleased with his service and will definitely use it again. Highly recommend!”
“Christina is awesome. The minute I met her I recognized such a positive energy with her, and my pup loved her! Not having to board my dog at a kennel made my vacation even better and it’s about the same price! Christina sent pics and updates, TOTES recommend!”
“Peggy was great! She had to take in my dog to the vet LAST MINUTE ON CHRISTMAS EVE but didn’t complain so much as a minute. She was also able to get my dog into healthier habits and she lost those last couple pounds we were worried about! Absolutely amazing. 10/10 recommend.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for cats and have also provided pet-sitting services for several of my friends' dogs over the years. Currently, I have a 3-year-old Shiba Inu, who is quite independent and occasionally stubborn, as well as four shy cats, each with their own unique personalities. In addition to standard pet care, I also offer additional services such as bathing, walking, and other pet-related needs. Please feel free to let me know in advance if you'd like to arrange any of these services. "My current work schedule typically runs from Monday through Thursday, with Friday through Sunday designated as my regular days off, though this is subject to change depending on operational needs. On my days off, I generally begin my mornings around 7:00 AM and maintain a consistent routine of taking my dog outside approximately every two to four hours to ensure he receives adequate exercise and bathroom breaks. My dog is on an open-feeding schedule, so I replenish his food bowl as needed, typically when it becomes low or empty. For my cats, I utilize an automatic feeder system, which I usually refill on a weekly basis to ensure a consistent feeding routine. Aside from pet care, I typically spend the majority of my weekends at home attending to household chores and maintenance tasks, unless I have made other personal or social commitments. During the weekends, as I typically remain at home, I am afforded the valuable opportunity to spend extended periods of time with my pets. This allows me to closely monitor their behavior, attend to their needs more attentively, and enjoy their company throughout the entirety of both Saturday and Sunday.

Sarah F.
“Sarah would be an amazing pet caregiver because she is one of the most responsible and caring people I know. She works harder than anyone else I've ever met and she gives everything she does 110%. Sarah has an amazing ability to multitask and knows how to manage her time and priorities. She is currently in vet school and has a lot of experience working hands on with animals of all kinds. She cares so much for animals and I know she would take extra care for the animals she is responsible for.”
