“Mindy is a good communicator and a reliable sitter. She always leaves my house as good (or better) than I leave it, and my pets are happy and content when I get home. 10 out of 10, would recommend!”
“Johanna was great with Buster! She communicated frequently and sent pictures/videos with her updates. She was very professional and friendly. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Rachel did a great job of taking care of our dogs while we were on vacation! I would happily ask her to watch our dogs again. It is comforting to know that the dogs are in good hands.”
“Mish was great with my cat Dilly for a two week house sit! This was the first time I’ve left him for longer than a weekend, and I knew he’d be in good hands after meeting. They sent lots of photos and updates, and my apartment was well taken care of, too. Thanks again!”
“Kortney followed our instructions and sent us updates as requested. I felt comfortable leaving my cats with her and I’m sure they loved her! I would definitely use her services again when needed”
“I have used Rover several times throughout my dog’s 10 years and have NEVER seen her warm up (and calm down) to someone the way she did with Milo, which speaks volumes about how Milo handles animals with care and compassion. We came home to two very content animals after being away for a couple of nights and booking at the last minute, and Milo was also super respectful of our home. I would definitely recommend, and I know Milo is going to make an amazing vet tech!”
“Michelle is incredible! She helped us immensely by caring for our pupper in home while we enjoyed a weekend away. Having recently moved, It was important for us to keep our pup less stressed in a familiar environment - Michelle totally understood and approached Finley with patience and KINDNESS!! Michelle sent the best photos of our little man and I knew he was in excellent hands. Michelle is an animal whisperer and we are just so glad to have found her 🥹 ty Michelle!!!!!”
“Melissa did an amazing job taking care of our furry baby! She was easy to reach and responded immediately when we reached out. Loved the doggy pics we got while away! We would definitely invite Melissa back to help out!”
“Madeline was excellent. This was our first time getting a dog sitter. We have had experience with boarders for our previous dog and we didn’t like it so we went with a dog sitter this time! Zara was much more comfortable being home and she loved Madeline! We made sure they met a few times before our trip which Madeline was happy to do. She was very communicative, sent a lot of photos, and even took out our garbage while we were away. She made our trip even more relaxing by giving us the peace of mind about Zara! I knew our fur baby was in good hands and happy at home! We will definitely be rebooking with Madeline for any future trips”
“Queenie was a wonderful carer for Pearl & Rudi. Our home was in pristine condition and she sent several vireos of both pets to keep us informed and worry - free. We have booked her for our next short holiday and feel confident about her care and professionalism! We yanks Queenie!”
About: I am a Champaign-Urbana resident who grew up with a Chihuahua and developed a love of dogs. Knowing the summer months are approaching, I would like to offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting opportunities for your beloved family member. In terms of location, I am near downtown Champaign, and in close proximately to West Side Park and Hessel Park, offering safe neighborhoods and routes to walk your dog, or use routes that provide. I'm currently working full time during the day, but have avialability to spend the night to watch your dog, do drop ins, or to walk your dog, during the weekends. I am not able to have pets at my current place, so I would be coming to you to watch after your dog. I can perform basic duties, such as feeding, walking, basic brushing, companionship, and playtime. :). If you dog requires medication, I would be willing to administer if shown how to do it.
“Tanya provided exceptional care for our cat and two dogs while staying over a long holiday weekend in our home. She asked excellent questions during our "meet and greet," so when it came time for us to leave our animals we knew they were in good hands. She arrived to house sit early afternoon on Friday and left late on Monday to accommodate our travel schedule. Our animals each have particular needs and personality quirks. For instance, we have one high energy dog that requires oral medication, frequent potty breaks, and long walks. Our other dog is content sleeping all day and needs to be convinced to take short walks! Plus, the energetic dog will eat the lazy dog's food if given the opportunity, so we feed them separately. Then, our cat is low maintenance, but still needs food, water, affection, and to have her box cleaned daily. Finally, the dogs wake up at 5am for breakfast (whether we're awake or not). Caring for the three of them is a lot of work and Tanya did a great job attending to their needs! We came home from vacation to happy, heathy pets and a clean house. We could not have asked for a better pet sitter. I highly recommend Tanya and would absolutely employ her services again.”
“Sarah is a great sitter and we are so thankful for her support! We have two old babies and sadly got the news one of them would need to be put down the following week. She spoiled him, sent lots of pictures and even left a very sweet personalized note with her condolences. It really gave us peace of mind to have someone so thoughtful stay with them when we were really not wanting to leave. She gave meds, played with them and they took to her quickly. Will definitely rebook! ❤️”
“Corey was a helpful and communicative pet sitter who spent time with my dog, and was flexible. Checked in multiple times to make sure we had his services as long as they were needed. I would book with Corey again.”

Melissa did great with our girls. One doesn't have a care in the world, but the other is reactive and takes a very long time to trust someone. Melissa stayed patient with her and even had to change her walking plan with them, but Layla warmed up at the end. I didn't worry anymore then I normally would about them with her. She sent pictures, when there was a tornado warning, she did all the right things and messaged us about it. She kept us updated all week. We are booking her for more stays over the next few months already even before we even got back from our trip!
Ava was a wonderful house sitter for my dog Whimzy. She sent me photos and updates and Whimzy looked very happy and well cared for. My house was sparkling and clean upon return. Super happy with her stay and would 100 have her sit again - hopefully soon. Highly recommend!
Johanna did a wonderful job house and pet sitting for us over a long weekend. We have three dogs and a cat and they all have unique needs. I communicated these to Johanna and she made sure each pet was well cared for. This included administering medicine to one dog, walking two dogs together and one separately, and cleaning up dog waste in our back yard. She didn't neglect the cat either - she cleaned her box and re-filled her water as instructed. We came home to happy animals and a clean house and yard. Johanna also communicated regularly with updates and questions while trouble-shooting minor pet issues on her own. I appreciate that she sent pictures showing happy animals and can tell that our dogs and cat liked spending time with her. Highly recommended!
I really can’t say enough good things about Cory. I handed him a foster that got adopted while I was gone and a “foster fail” of mine who is normally terrified of males but who warmed up to Cory right away. If you are looking for someone meticulously attentive to the safety, security, welfare, and happiness of your pets, Cory is who you need.
This is the second time we've used Katie for a trip where my family and I were gone for at least 7 days. Katie did a wonderful job with our anxious pup, making sure she was well taken care of and sent lovely photos of our happy Mo while we were gone. Her communication was wonderful, and when our pup had some anxiety and wasn't eating as much as she usually does, Katie made sure to communicate this with me, and she had some wonderful solutions that made sure Mo was healthy and well-loved. I'm forever grateful that we found Katie and would recommend her and her wonderful services to anyone wanting to leave their pup in very capable and caring hands.
Sarah stayed at our place and took care of our cat for 6 nights. Sarah is an excellent communicator and notified us upon arrival and departure of the booking, shared photos of our cat, and other updates. I would highly recommend Sarah for your catsitting needs!
