12. Lilibeth S.
About: I have always loved pets and grew up in a house full of various animals. This includes dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, hamsters, turtles, and fish. My love for pets has only grown through the years. My experience in pet care is from having my own pets, pet sitting for family, friends, and taking on pet sitting jobs and volunteer work during my youth. My main option on here is dog walking and drop-ins but I also do house sitting. I’m currently between jobs so have a lot of free time on my hands. It would be my pleasure to spend it looking after your furry friends and provide outstanding care while you are busy or away!! I'm willing to do additional other tasks if requested. I have years of experience caring for pets and currently care for my own 3 year old stubborn but adorable beagle. I will treat your furry kiddos as if they were my own. I try to provide the best care possible so very thorough instructions are always welcome. Updates will always be provided as well.
13. Melissa S.
“Melissa has been dropping by to walk my dog Pepper for about a year now and I could not ask for a better experience!!! Pepper loves her and is always happy when I get home from work, and Melissa always takes time to play with her after their walk. Melissa is very responsive and easy to get ahold of. She is also usually able to squeeze us in if I book at the last minute. Overall I’ve had a very good, low stress experience!!!”
14. Sarah B.
“Sarah is a wonderful dog sitter! Aside from having her own furry friend at home, she has plenty of experience caring for others' pets, is conscientious and trustworthy. The safety and happiness of the pets in her care is of the utmost importance, and she plans to pursue veterinary medicine after college graduation. She absolutely LOVES animals, and dogs in particular!”
15. Nancy V.
About: I have taken care of my own and family friend pets for a long time. I have the most expereince caring for dogs and birds. For dogs, I would feed, walk, and bathe them ( I have only bathed dogs that I feel lIke I can). As for birds, I have fed, and cleaned out their cages. I am currently working full time but I work the opening shift. I already go on walks after work, why not have the fur babes join me? I ersoanlly keep my dog in a leash where I know it's unsafe for her to be. Unleashed at home or in sanctioned pet areas like a gated dog park. I am available to do any care that is needed if it;s at client's home.
16. Esther K.
“Esther is an excellent dog walker! She is thoughtful, respectful and loves our dog. We are very pleased with her and will continue to use her services.”
17. Madeline N.
“Reliable and accommodating!”
18. Lluvya B.
“I have had the pleasure of entrusting Lluvya with the care of my two dogs during multiple extended trips. Their professionalism and genuine affection for animals are evident in the meticulous care they provide. Lluvya consistently follows detailed instructions, maintains regular communication, and even sends photos to keep me updated. Their reliability and commitment have given me complete peace of mind, knowing my pets are in capable and loving hands. I highly recommend Lluvya to anyone seeking a responsible and compassionate pet sitter.”
19. Lorri C.
“I appreciated Lorri's quick response and thoughtful approach to understanding the needs of my dogs. My dogs took to her immediately upon meeting. I felt at ease putting my trust in Lorri. My dogs and I are so glad to have her!”
20. Kylie Z.
About: Like most people I grew up in a house with animals. Dogs, cats, rats, and I volunteered at a horse ranch down the road. Eventually I became the god mother to a cranky 20yr old eclectus parrot, which says a lot about my patience :’) I do work full time near UIUC, but thankfully my position is very flexible and I’m able to leave several times a day to check in on your fur babies! I currently have three cats that live with me, and my parents have their dog as well as mine. My beloved dog is bigger than I am and I did all of his training myself. I have experience with large and small breeds with all types of personalities, even if they’re not enthusiastic of people I’m confident I’ll make them feel safe and comfortable.
