“Angela has been caring for my 2 dogs for several years. She cares for my babies like her own and she is an incredible fur mama to her own babies! I wouldn't trust my doggies to anyone else!!”
4. Lisa L.
“Lisa is exactly the person you want watching your pet. She’s dependable, respectful, stellar communicator and pets love her. She treats my Great Dane like one of her own every time she’s with Max. I appreciate the way she sends photos, updates, and asks questions when they come up. She makes my pet’s care important to her, which is important to me. Would highly recommend Lisa to anyone in need of an attentive sitter. Lisa rocks!!”
5. Taylor W.
“Taylor cares for animals as if they were his own. He has a variety of experience with both regular and exotic pets, and has always stepped in to help when needed. His prior experience of helping train dogs makes him an excellent caretaker and his calm demeanor allows animals to feel comfortable around him. He is a clean, responsible, and caring animal lover.”
6. Veronica S.
“Veronica did a great job taking care of my cats. Even my shy cat warmed up to her and would come play. Veronica also managed the removal of an injured mouse that my cats had caught - above and beyond the call of duty!”
7. Kendall S.
“One of the most enthusiastic animal lovers I have come across. It's almost angelic the way she is with fur babies. Almost like Dr. Doolittle, the animal whisperer. lol But there isn't anyone I trust more for the care of my animals than her. Absolutely amazing with a beautiful spirit!”
8. Deonte H.
About: I’ve taken care of various dog sizes and breeds in regards to the care and concern needed for your buddy. Can walk, feed, and house sit I rise early and out of bad and can make trips to help out busy owners, if you need someone reliable I am the person for the job I have a dog park on site if needed for me to care for your pet and will provide services to all animals if needed
9. Ashley C.
“Ashley is the BEST don't even hesitate to book her! I've recommended her to any of my veterinary friends, she does incredible work and takes such great care of your fur babies while you're on vacation! Daily photo updates and she gave multiple medications to different pets easily. Wish I could take her with me back east for my furbabies!”
10. Ariel T.
“I have known Ariel for over ten years. Since we were young I've always called her the "animal whisperer". She's good with animals. Even animals with a history of bad homes or animals known to have behavioral problems. It's almost like she blinks and they instantly fall in love with her. If one of my animals are sick or I have a question about their routine she's the first person I call. She knows more about animals and their wellbeing more than anyone I know. She's not only good with animals but she's the most trustworthy, loyal, loving, and hardworking person I know.”
11. Zoey W.
“Zoey took great care of our cat (who loved her) and was very attentive to the instructions we left her. She sent lots of photos during drop-ins, and even went above and beyond by watering our plants and bringing in mail (which included a hefty Chewy package). Would definitely recommend!”
12. Madison T.
“Madison was excellent. I was a bit nervous as Rascal just began some medications a couple weeks before and we haven't needed pet sitters before, but Madison calmed my nerves and walked me through all the steps she takes as a sitter which was so fantastic. She communicated with us, provided great updates, and Rascal really did well with someone else caring for him. He can be stubborn when eating and she was very patient with him!! Highly recommend.”
13. Noah W.
About: I am a veterinary assistant with experience in livestock care, companion animal caretaking, and veterinary medicine. My skills include administering medications, senior animal care, handling fractious cats, basic puppy training, and techniques to reduce pet anxiety. I work full-time night shifts Monday through Wednesday, so I’m unable to provide overnight house sitting care on those days. However, I am available for overnight care from Thursday through Sunday, and I can provide regular day visits 24/7. In caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize flexibility and adapt to each pet’s unique needs and routines. I work closely with pet owners to understand their preferences, whether it’s following specific feeding schedules, administering medications, or sticking to exercise routines that keep their pets happy and comfortable. I am attentive to details like daily habits, playtime preferences, and any anxieties the pet may have. My goal is to make sure each pet feels secure and cared for in their own environment, adjusting my approach as needed to ensure their well-being.
14. Ayda P.
“I have known Ayda for well over a decade. She truly loves animals. She has watched my dog (who loves her) many times! She takes her responsibilities seriously and is very conscientious. Your pup will always be in good hands with Ayda!!”
15. Sienna R.
About: I’ve never lived in a home without animals, they’re just apart of my life. I have a very high maintenance dog myself, who I give walks to twice a day. So I’m willing to put in the work to give your dogs what they need as well! I do currently work part time as a bank teller, so the days I do work I am not home for an 8 hour stretch, other than coming home for lunch for an hour M, W_TH. I do hope to eventually make THIS my full time gig though. We have a fenced in yard with lots of space for your pups to run. Excercise is a big thing in our home since we do have a Husky with very high energy so we're always playing or doing some training activities. They will also be welcomed with open arms by our fur babies!
16. 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.
