“Alyssa did a great job watching my senior dog. She sent regular updates and photos, which I greatly appreciated. I also felt at ease since she has so much experience with pets and wants to be a veterinarian. I definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her watch my dog in the future.”

“Briana was fantastic. She responded to questions quickly, sent updates (and pictures), and overall made us very comfortable with her caring for our fur baby and home while we were gone.”

About: As an emerging professional, I found it to be wise to not get an animal of my own quite yet, but through this opportunity I can still be around and interact with your loving animal(s). I have interacted with an array of dogs, and currently my family has had 3 dogs. Brandy, a golden retriever who loved being outside and swimming, Jack (who is in my profile picture) a cocker spaniel who loved a good nap, and our other dog Ziggy, a long haired dachshund who has calmed down over the years but loves to great people with his loud bark. I have experience working with older dogs who require medication, so if your pup/cat needs that attention, I’ve got you covered. I like to think I’m an active person, so walks will be had as well. I also love giving animals baths, so if you are interested that can be included in my services! Thank you for your consideration! I currently have a full time job, but would have mornings, lunch, and after 5pm available to love on your pet. I make it a priority to make sure they keep their schedule and have an ample amount of attention. I think keeping pets in their homes is especially important when their parents are away, so that’s why I am more than happy to come to them. Just like humans, I want to make sure they feel loved and cared for even when you are not there. I love to cuddle and play with all the pets I watch as well so they will not be missing out on attention (haha)!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters? I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s a slow walk for an older pup or high-energy playtime for a young one, I meet animals where they are. I have two dogs of my own—Theo and Sage—so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. Beyond personal experience, I have a BA in animal science and I’m currently in the process of earning my master’s degree in Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication, with a focus on companion animals. I also work as an assistant educator, so I bring a calm, thoughtful approach to every visit. I’m confident administering medications, caring for nervous or senior pets, and yes—I genuinely don’t mind deep-cleaning litter boxes. I treat every animal like family, with patience, care, and a whole lot of love I’m currently working mostly remote with few days in the classroom as a Teacher assistant. Whether it’s morning walks, meal times, or evening play sessions, I’m used to planning my day around pets’ needs. I live in a three-story townhouse with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable—whether they want to play or have their own quiet area. My own dogs are super friendly, but I can easily keep pets separate if needed. I also have some dog training experience, so I’m confident handling different temperaments and routines. Your pet will be safe, loved, and well cared for here or in your home!

“Megan was wonderful with our two dogs and we would definitely use her services again! She sent pictures throughout her stay and kept us updated. We are confident that our dogs were much more comfortable and less anxious staying at home with Megan, than being boarded.”

“Ayda did a great job of keeping me informed of how my pups were doing and sending pictures of them daily while I was out of town.”

Trisha S.

“Emma house sitted for us for a couple of days and took care of our pug Cookie. Emma was very communicative and thoughtful of Cookie’s needs and respectful of our home. She sent lots of pictures and updates to keep us informed while we were away. We definitely look forward to using her services in the future. Thank you Emma!”

About: I have been taking care of family and friends pets for many years. I have experience with taking care of particularly anxious and large dogs, as well as taking care of cats and lizards. I have just graduated college, so I have lots of time to take care of your pets. I am available all days of the week, including weekends. I will treat your pet and home with the utmost respect.

“Chace was phenomenal! He kept me updated on my pets, and both of them immediately knew he was a safe presence! I’ll definitely book with him again!”

“Kate did a great job taking care of my girls while we went on a weekend trip. I tend to worry when I leave my animals but the entire weekend I felt like they were in good hands. She gave me thorough updates and even checked to make sure we got home alright.”

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience, I offer reliable and compassionate animal sitting backed by a lifetime of caring for a wide range of animals—including dogs, cats, and whole lot more! Growing up on a farm taught me responsibility, attentiveness, and a deep respect for animals of all kinds. Whether it’s feeding, exercising, administering basic care, or just providing companionship, I’ve done it all and treat every animal like my own. While I work part time, I am also studying for the national boards for occupational therapy and need some extra money. I love animals so this is just a great opportunity. I tailor my care based on each pet’s individual needs, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space, structure, and supervision. I stick to the pet’s usual feeding schedule, offer daily exercise, playtime, and enrichment activities, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved.

About: My name is Alli, I live in Champaign, and I’ve done pet and house sitting for a little over 4 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.

About: I'm a honest trustworthy person who makes it my mission to be dependable and I love dogs! So I thought I'd give this a try! Gotta be better then dealing with the public right? Hey! Fri Sat and Sun are my days off so I'm trying to get some work n pet some doggos! I just moved back to Champaign! Every dog / cat is different and requires different needs so basically I Treet my fur babies as family and do my best to raise them right!

“Lexi is amazing! Bailey loved her! She is so friendly and kind; prompt in responding to texts, is on time, and very dependable. For the first time, I felt comfortable leaving my boy. Bailey is blind and diabetic, needing his blood checked with shots during his feeding. Lexi was able to do that with no issues, texted me after each feeding with updated, and followed his schedule for treats and potty breaks. She was very respective of my home, dished put away, trash taken out. Did I already say how amazing she is?!!! Bailey was very happy and playful when I got home and seemed to be looking for her. She would definitely be my first choice in the future.”

Brenda B.

“Sarah was wonderful. She did a great job. She was communicative and kept us in the loop while we were gone. I would recommend her and plan to book with her in the future.”

About: Ive been around dogs a lot. I have 3 of my own. One named Hope. She’s more active, and needs alot of playtime. So I’m definitely good at managing that. One name is Oakley, he likes to be babied and cuddled. Ones name is Hank, and he is just the chillest dog haha. I already have dogs so I work 24/7 with my own. I have a lot of time on my hands so I’m free whenever. Anytime you just need a break I can come help, when you’re gone. I’ll do it. I give baths, I walk them, I play ball/fetch with them. I take them potty, feed them, give them treats. I do all the things it takes to take care of a dog, the same way you would treat a baby.
