Pet Sitting in Dickerson

“Did a great job caring for our fur babies!”

Joshua C.

“China did a great job with our kids while we were gone! They got lots of love and attention, and the dogs got plenty of exercise from walks and playtime. She was also very detailed in her report cards and kept us updated on how they were each day. We would definitely recommend her!”

Joseph C.

“2nd time checked on Elle for me! I can tell from Elle's facial expressions, that she has really warmed up to Misty in such a short time. Definitely see what she can do if you need someone to check on your furry kids!”

Nikk A.

“Hannah is terrific! She sends photos and videos with details about her visits. Always on time and she spends time with our dogs as if they are her own!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats (and a couple smaller critters here and there) since childhood and understand that pets are family. I currently have four small rescue dogs at home and am active in dog sitting for local friends and rescues. I know how it feels to leave your loved ones in someone else’s care, and I will do everything I can to give you peace of mind and make your fur babies as comfortable and happy as possible. My schedule is flexible, and I’ll do my best to work with you around my full-time day job. I’m generally free in the evenings and on weekends, so keep me in mind if you need a night away but want company for your furry housemates. I am happy to stay with your pets overnight and can also make time for daytime check-ins/walks as needed. Be sure to check out my holiday availability as well! Your pet’s safety is my priority! I like to chat with you and meet your pet(s) before any scheduled bookings so we’re both on the same page about your instructions and expectations. I also value clear and frequent communication. (That includes pictures and updates of your loved ones while in my care!) I respect your home as my own and will leave it as clean, secure and maintained as I found it. If you have any house quirks or special instructions, just let me know. For boarding and daycare services (in my home), we ask that all dogs be spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, and taking monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention. We typically do not host pets from multiple households at the same time, but please let me know if you have more than one dog for boarding/daycare and I’ll get you a quote. For the safety of our pets and yours, we are not able to host large dogs, cats or (human) children in our home, but I’m happy to come to yours!

“Great Job Rose, thank you so much. We will definitely be calling on you again! Did you get your envelope?”

“Masha is an amazingly sweet and sensitive soul. She took wonderful care of all our chihuhahuas and our cat at short notice! We are very grateful for her service!”

Shelby L.

“My three kitties were well taken care of while I was out of town by Jamie. She’s awesome! We’ll most definitely book with her again. I think my youngest cat Binx was smitten!”

About: I have had both dogs and cats my entire life and don't want to be without them ! My Husky Sharpei mix, Lily passed away in 2021 after 16 years of a long healthy life. It was a hard loss, so I started spending time with other people's pets and decided to turn it into a career. Through the years of petsitting i have learned alot about different animal personalities and i have gained experience with different levels of care. Some of the pets i have watched suffered from high separation anxiety, and have special needs. I have experience giving diabetic shots, administering oral medication, and topical oitments on cats and dogs. I have experience with extended stays, my longest so far being a month. I also have experience watching multiple dogs and cats. I have watched reactive dogs in the past and I am comfortable doing so if i know their triggers. I’m currently working full time. I am available every 4 hours if you live close to Downtown Champaign. I am also willing to travel within a 40 mile radius to pet sit, but will not be able to drop in if you are far from downtown Champaign Once your gone I pretty much resume your role, while pet care is a priority I still clean up after myself so you won't have to worry about coming into a messy home. Cats and dogs love to cuddle with me on the couch, so they will get plenty of attention hanging out with me.

About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs all my life. I understand the needs and wants of a pet parent well. I’ll care for your fur babies like they’re my own 💛🐶 I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of free time to meet and play with new pups! Monday and Tuesday I have open availability and Wednesday-Sunday most weeks I will have morning/afternoon availability. Due to my own pack of fur babies at home, I only offer services in your home, so I’m open to whatever you need in your environment!

“I was so happy to find Rebekah to care for our cats, especially since we had to have a special plan for the care. That is because Cuddles does not like anyone to enter our house. He was a ferrel cat who loves my husband and I so much, but I believe he tries to protect us from others who enter our house. He goes into a frenzy and bites and scratches. Rebekah was brave enough to tackle the job. We developed a plan for her to enter our basement laundry room through an outside door. The plan worked. We arrived home with our cats well fed and cared for and Rebekah safe and sound. Thank you Rebekah!”

Terry W.

“Myk'La is really nice and did a great job caring for my cat, including feeding, petting, giving meds, and litterbox cleaning. I definitely recommend her and will use her again if she is available to watch my pets.”

About: I grew up with dogs in my home, they became apart of the family. I’ve had 7 dogs of many breeds throughout my life, so taking care of them has become second nature. I start my day pretty early at 5am. My job is flexible so I can accommodate puppies or older dogs that may need more frequent potty breaks. I have a 2 year old dog myself that loves to play with other dogs. All dogs are leashes before the door opens for walks for everyone’s safety.

“Sarah was outstanding! She communicated so well when I was gone on a weekend trip. She sent the cutest photos, updates, and even taught my dog a new trick! The real deal and very sweet!”

Rebecca E.

“Milo is the best! There is no one our dogs love more!”

About: I've been raised with all kinds of dogs since I was young, from Pomeranian to Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I'm familiar with puppy behaviors, as well as care for elderly dogs. My days off are Monday & Tuesdays to give me plenty of time to care and play with your pets in the early mornings to overnights. Otherwise I currently work in the community Thurs-Sun 8am-5pm with Wednesdays being 12-5, though I'm able to step away for any walks, drop-ins, or play times needed! Please reach out with any scheduling requests and I'll do my best to accommodate for you! I prefer crate trained pets, much like my own, but I'm comfortable being around free roam and cuddly buddies! If given enough time in advance, I would love to meet your pet beforehand to ensure a comfortable and informative visit for the both of us.

“Worked great for my two dogs. Was particularly great with the nervous one, who needed some tender love and care. Would use again and plan too.”

About: I love animals and have many years of experience with pet sitting including drops ins and overnight pet/house sitting. I have a soft spot for golden retrievers and tabby cats, but am happy to care for animals of all kinds. I work remote and have a flexible schedule that allows for week-day pet care at your convenience. No worries about your pet’s internal “feed me” clock, as I can typically work around their schedules. I am very laid back, patient, and trustworthy. Getting to know your pets and earning their trust to ensure that they feel safe and comforted is a priority.

About: Im fortunate enough to have so much help when I go to work with my dog and work three nights a week so I have a lot of free time during the week. I’m looking to help others make sure their dogs can get let out or go for a walk while they’re busy (: I have a 1.5 year old mini golden doodle who is basically my child. we do everything together from walks to road trips to popcorn time during a movie! I work nights at a hospital and am lucky enough to have my grandparents watch my dog at night! I’d love to be able to help others out and ease some of the stress of having a dog at home by themselves for so many hours! My dog is my bestfriend, we go on walks every day, he loves play time with other animals & loves to snuggle up! We work on commands daily from sit, stay, shake, up, lay down, & much more!

“My cat Harley was in a great mood and was extremely soft when we got home (which means he was getting his pets). He loves Asia she always does a good job.”
