“This is our second time booking with Jenna, and we couldn’t be happier. We were away during a heatwave, and she was very attentive and went above and beyond to make sure our kitty was okay. As always, we are grateful for her excellent communication, flexibility, and care and attention to our baby kitty. I’d recommend her to anyone who needs a great sitter!”


“I truly appreciated Katie to take care of my kitties when I was away. She loves my cats and my cats love her. They get along well at greet- meet section to understand my cats' habbits. I highly recommend Katie for taking care of your lovely pets when you are away. Thank you so much, Katie. Thank for the kitties' portraits in my kitchen. You are gifted and talented with arts and caring pets. Wish you all the best.”


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!

“Misty was great, very happy to have her checking in on my boys. She was great at communicating, updating me and took awesome pictures. She dropped by, played with then and gave them treats.”


“Zohreh really went above and beyond with caring for my cat, and was very attentive to her needs. She was great with communication and shared plenty of pictures each visit which I always appreciate.”


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.

About: I have plenty of experience with both dogs and cats. I have been working in a dog/cat boarding and daycare facility for a little over a year now. At work, we are responsible for providing individual care for each animal staying with us; we are in charge of providing them with playtime, feeding them, giving meds, and more. Personally, I have had two cats going on about 15 years now, and I have had two dogs (a lab mix and a pit mix) for about five years. I also have the experience of being a dog walker volunteer at a humane society! Right now, I am on summer break and home from school, and I am currently only working a part-time job. On days I do work at my part-time job, I’m usually working from 8-230pm 3-4 days a week, so I will usually be available outside of that time period on my working days. On non-working days, I typically have open availability. Since I am around animals pretty much 24/7, caring for them is part of my usual routine, making me very passionate and comfortable around animals. Unfortunately, one of my dogs is reactive and doesn't take well to new doggy friends, so care at my house would not be possible. However, in terms of staying in the owner's home, I would bring over some toys and other things dogs love, like treats, and I could even bring a splash pad for those who like water! I would make sure the dog is my number one priority and be on top of what their daily needs are. For cats, plenty of catnip and fun will be involved!

“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.”


“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!”



“We came back home to two wonderful and content kitties. Christine did a great job taking care of our two shy cats and our house. We were in constant contact so we felt safe to leave them in her care.”



“Jennifer helped me with my kitty that needed special care with meds and injections. She put my mind at ease and also gave me some recommendations for him from her experience. It helped me feel ok about leaving my guy for a couple days even though he as some health issues.”


About: I’ve always had some species of animal since I was a child. I’ve cared for them, bathed, walked, fed, taken vet trips, went on road trips with them. You name it, I’ve probably done it! My favorite people are animals! My fur babies are just that: my babies. They look to me for love and care and guidance. I try my best to ensure they live their best lives with as much love and happiness as possible. I have a fenced in yard but I would rather do drop ins as I have physical disabilities that would hinder playing with my fur babies as well as yours. I only want what’s best for your furry children!

“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Alexandria to take care of our cat, Midnight, for a week while we were out of town. Alexandria stayed at our house to keep Midnight company and to take care of feeding, litter box cleaning and quality play time. She kept me updated with frequent photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Midnight seemed comfortable and happy around Alexandria from day one. She also took care of various household chores such as garbage collection and bringing in mail and packages. After getting home, not only was Midnight in top shape, but also the house! I highly recommend Alexandria to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy petsitter, and I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”


About: I am comfortable with taking care of bigger and smaller dogs whether hyper or not. I love dogs and cats, so I am excited to watch them! Overall, I am really loving and excited to walk,play and take care of any animals that come my way in the same way I treat my own. My availability is flexible and open for the fall and winter months, so any time will do. I am ready for most booked services same day when in the urbana-champaign area. I grew up with a wide variety of dogs from pitbulls to yorkies to now raising 4 australian shepards. Each one has had their own unique care, and I would like to treat your animals as special as ive treated mine!

“Sherri was so wonderful with my puppy and trustworthy! She loved him just like her own. She never failed to make sure he had plenty of exercise and everything he needed with each visit. She did a great just keeping me updated throughout as well. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her for future needs. :)”


“We had Amy come for dropin visits with our dog Lucy and 11 chickenss while we were out of town parts of 4 days. Amy took the time to get to know Lucy and show her real attention and affection. She arrived on time for every visit and kept us updated what was happening with messages and photos. She paid attention to details of the house and let us know what was going on. She took care of the animals physical needs responsibly but also with genuine interest and kindness.”
