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.
About: I have experience pet-sitting dogs from spry puppies to gentle giants and everything in between! I have been tasked with playtime, feeding time, and check-ins during the day. I'm currently working part-time, so I will be available for services before 1 pm and after 4 pm during weekdays and all day on the weekends. I have experience walking larger dogs and managing older dog's needs when exercising as well as maintaining a calm environment for anxious and/or older pets.
“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!”
“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!”
“Theresa was absolutely wonderful! She was prompt and reliable and so attentive to our cats. Theresa is clearly an animal person and we will book her again in a heartbeat!”
“I needed a cat sitter last minute, and Kenzie responded quickly . She followed all the instructions carefully and sent me photos of my two cats and the outdoor cat she cared for. Kenzie was very responsive and responsible. She went above and beyond by taking care of them. She always showed up on time, and all the cats are doing great. I will definitely hire Kenzie again next time!”
“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!”
“Alicia is very thorough with her visit reports which is very reassuring as a new dog mom! She is also very flexible with schedule changes. I highly recommend her and trust her with my dog’s care!”
“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.”
“I booked Faith for two 30 minute drop-ins while away from home and she would feed, pet, and do litterbox maintenance within an average 20-21 minutes. Thank you for caring for my pretty kitty Luna in my absence! (:”

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.
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.
Katie has been very accommodating and patient as we do some drop-in meetings so that she and SugarBear can get to know each other, as a lead-in into a longer, dog-sitting session. I appreciate Katie being available to work with SugarBear, who is always happy (too happy!) to see her.
Highly recommend. My first time using Rover and wasn’t sure what to expect. I usually take my two (older but active) dogs with me on trips, but couldn’t this time. Sarah bonded with the dogs quickly, and then went beyond my expectations in check-ins, providing not just basic care, but giving meds, playing with them, and giving me the reassurance I needed.
This is the second time Faith has looked after my dog. Our interpersonal interaction was cordial. She sent pics of my dog, and he seemed like a pretty inferior guard dog based on how it seemed he interacted with her. My dog seemed happy when I got home. In other words, I'd request Faith's services again.
