“Michelle was great with our pup, Duke! Duke can be a handful and was recovering from surgery while Michelle was here. We thought he might be confused and anxious while we were out. But he took to Michelle right away and was responding to commands before we even walked out the door. Michelle sent us pictures of him calm and snoozing while we were out too. Michelle was on time, personable, and friendly. We plan to book again in the future!”
“Madeline did a super job with our 2 beagles. She is excellent at following instructions and our dogs love her. We appreciate Madeline’s willingness to work on short notice when THREE other Rover employees canceled before even meeting us and our dogs. Madeline proved that Rover employees can be responsible! I would certainly hire Madeline again.”
“Nefeli took excellent care of my kitty Ooma. She also followed instructions to the T with care and was a great communicator. Ooma is very shy and nervous at first with new people and will often hide, but she really took to Nefeli from the beginning and spent time with her during her check ins. That says a lot.”
“My German Shepherd dog fell in love with Tanya at first sight! She's obviously loves animals. Everything went great, will definitely book Tanya again! Appreciated the photos of my dog and cat while I was away!”
“Amazing petsitter for our dog and cat! They loved having someone come to visit throughout the day and my husband and I really appreciated the pictures from each stop so we could keep seeing them while we were away. I would leave 10 stars if I could!”
“Amber was amazing and took really good care of my cats. One requires daily medication and she was able to administer the doses without any issues. Highly recommend Amber, specially for pets who need extra care!”
“Melissa is wonderful! I love getting the updates and pictures of my fur-baby. We already have her booked for the end of October and getting ready to see if she is available for February 2022”
About: Hello! I've enjoyed working with animals for all of my life. I have lived in the Champaign area at various times over the past 10 years with my father. I have not had experience working on Rover before but I'm looking forward to helping pet owners in the area! I recently moved back from Japan, so I've been searching for temporary employment in the Champaign area before starting graduate school in the fall. I have time available during the day, evenings and on weekends to provide care for pets. I can follow instructions on what care you need for your pet! I am not able to offer care in my own home, but I'm happy to do what it takes to meet your needs.
“David did a wonderful job with my three kitties! He played with the friendly ones and was patient with my shy guy. He even watered my plants while I was away. Appreciated his help making sure everyone was fed and safe!”
“Alicia was super great with our girls, Denna and Bea! She sent lots of photos, and followed our instructions perfectly. She's clearly very knowledgable and caring about our little fur babies, and my wife and I are very grateful for her time, diligence and care! Thanks Alicia!”
“Kylie is amazing!! This is our second time booking with her and we will definitely use her again! She even went an extra visit cause we have some naughty cats which we were so so grateful for!”
“Holly is fantastic! She took care of Juno, my mini Aussie for the second time. During her care, Holly kept me updated and sent me many pictures. I was quite content and felt that my dog was safe under her care.”
“Ann is always a great help and takes good care of my animals. This time, not only did she take care of my cat and my fish, but she also took care of my new cat who is still getting used to the house. Everyone was happy and healthy when I got home. It’s always easy to take a short vacation knowing she’s able to watch my animals”
“Katie has been excellent with our fur babies. We were out of town for 6 days and had no issues or worries. All the pics she sent showed how happy the dogs were when she came to check on them. Thank you Katie!”

Champaign cat parents share their Rover experiences
Olivia was attentive to our cats needs during the drop-in visits and exceeded our expectations of care. Another major bonus is that Olivia was respectful and caring of our private space. This meant a lot to us as this was our first time allowing a “stranger” to pet sit for us.
Ann was such a great find! She’s personable and clearly knows cats and how to deal with them. Our three are all very different, with a weird separation schedule, and she handled so them with ease. We will definitely be contacting her for our next trip. Feel free to contact me if you’d like to know more or want a reference.
Mary was so sweet with my kitties! She spent extra time at the meet and greet to make sure they were comfortable with her. I even got to see pictures of her kitties :) Everything went super smooth and will be sure to check her schedule when I am out of town again!
Brayden did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. He did everything we asked him to including bringing in packages from outside. He sent multiple pictures of our fur baby daily so we could feel close to him while we were away and know he was being well taken care of!
