3. Corbyn G.
“Corbyn was amazing with our little guy! Took the time and attention to his schedule and needs and kept us updated along the way. Very knowledgeable and considerate!”
4. Ayda P.
“Ayda has a love for animals that shows through her care giving of them and how the animals interact with her, they want to play and snuggle! When Ayda is around animals her smile could brighten a room, she pays more attention to them than the humans around her. At any given time you will find Ayda outside throwing a ball or frisbee, snuggling on the floor or sofa or driving around with her dog in the car. Ayda has a passion for animals, I hope she is able to get to know yours.”

“Chase was an amazing sitter and would highly recommend! Needed to book at the last minute and he was extremely accommodating. Also clearly loves dogs and was great at sending updates. Book him if you can because he was truly the best!”
7. Megan W.
About: My family has had a dog for the past 8 years and I have had my own shelter dog living with me full time for over a year now so I have been exposed to dealing with separation anxiety and many different reactions. I know I will be able to exceed your pets needs and provide lots of love and attention! I am currently working on obtaining a new full time job in the area! Until then I am free pretty much anytime and I will update my schedule once things change but for now I would love to dog/cat sit, drop in or walk/run your pet! I currently have 3 dogs on a few acres of land so they are very active outside. I used to live in an apartment and would exercise my 3 year old lab retriever for about 2 hours a day!
8. Natalie F.
“Natalie took phenomenal care of Layla and my home over an extended weekend. Layla had an ear infection and Natalie was great with administering her medication. I will definitely be asking Natalie to sit for Layla again!”
9. Sydney M.
“Sydney Meadows is a wonderful pet sitter. She has attended to our baby dog, Bennie on several occasions and is the best! I feel at ease leaving our pet with her, she feeds him as instructed, plays with him, walks him and is a Registered Vet Tech! I would not leave Bennie with any one else-Sydney is so responsible and I feel like she is part of our family! Love her!”
10. Alli V.
About: My name is Alli, I live in Champaign, and I’ve done pet and house sitting for a little over 3 years now. I’ve house sat for family and family friends with cats and dogs, a fish, and even a hampered! I really enjoy it and am excited to expand my interest and help out more people. I think I would be the perfect fit for your family! I’m tidy, responsible, caring, and punctual! For your animals I can take them on walks, and give them all the lovin’ they'll need while their humans are gone! I think house sitting is great because the animals can feel comfortable in their own house and now have to be in an unfamiliar place while their owners are gone! I’m currently looking for summer work while applying to jobs! I have full availability to be in the home and with the pets while you’re gone! I like to keep the animals in their home so that they are comfortable. I prefer to stay in the home over night unless it’s just a 1-2 day stint.
11. Isabelle P.
“My dogs were so happy to see Isabelle that even on days when I was working from home I would still keep my walks scheduled. Why? It made me happy to see them so happy. Isabelle is THE BEST.”
12. Heather E.
“Heather was willing to house sit for us during the crazy weather and was flexible when we lost power for awhile. We were so appreciative to have her watching our pups while we were out of town. They were well cared for and happy when we got home!”
13. Danielle D.
About: I am a proud mother of a 4yr old son and an 10 yr old daughter.. My daughter is usually at school for most of the day. However, caring for both full time I have come to notice animals stimulate both kids and teach them respect, responsibility and routine. We are excited to em"bark" on this new chapter in life and cant wait to start. Together, I believe all 3 of my family unit would not only love, but sincerely enjoy even the smallest and largest pets while their 'parents' are away or just need some attention. With summer upon us - my schedule (and helping hands) have become more flexible. Currently, I am available every day from 6am to 7pm. Holidays, weekends, and every day that ends in "Y"! With respect to the pet , clients home, and specific care needs, I try to always keep an open mind and heart but keeping respect in the foreground.
14. Lexi B.
About: I have experience with all kinds of pets. From reptiles, felines, and mixed breed pups, to Pit Bulls and German Shepherds. I love them all 🫶🏾 I work from home for a minimal contact tech company. After my little ones leave for school at 7:30 AM, my schedule is completely flexible. We miss having fur babies around and will treat them as part of our family. I have mild mannered boys 7 and 5 that love nature and animals.
15. Brooklynn L.
“Brooklynn has been a frequent caretaker for my elder, 15 year old black lab. When caring for Halee she is responsible for administering her medications, preparing her food, taking her on short walks, and aiding her if she has any mobility issues. She has always met all of my standards for my babies care, i’ve never had an issue. With this, she has taken care of my spoiled cat giving her so much love and affection. Both of my animals adore Brooklynn and we couldn’t imagine having anyone but her!”
16. Anaudia W.
“Anaudia is an amazing sitter for my pet. She goes over and beyond to make sure Marley is taken care of. She is loving, caring, and very responsible. She’s also flexible and has been able to tend to her when I have called her last minute. I would recommend her to anyone.”
17. Morgan G.
“Morgan has always been around dogs growing up and loves animals! She had 2 dogs of her own! She is very trustworthy and reliable! Highly recommend”
18. Madison T.
“Madie was amazing. We had a last minute conflict with our dog sitter and she came to the rescue. It was our first time using someone who was not family watching her. She came to our house on Thanksgiving to do a meet and greet which greatly decreased our hesitation about using someone else to watch our fur baby. Madie went above and beyond what we could have asked for. She was professional and extremely kind. She cared for Stella as if she were her own. We will definitely be using her again! Cannot recommend her enough.”
19. Jeremiah M.
“JEremiah could not have been more attentive to updating us continuously. We will more than happy and feel confident that our dog will be well care for in the future.”
20. Ben O.
“Ben did a great job House sitting with our two pups for a long weekend. He sent lots of photos to let us see how they were doing and they were happy and healthy upon our return. And the house was exactly as we left it. We’ll definitely use Ben again when we travel!”
