Pet Sitting in Flatville

“Excellent first Rover experience! We were a little apprehensive to leave our girls, especially our older cat Blackberry with medical conditions, with someone through a website, but we were extremely pleased with the quality-of-care (and cute photos!) Michelle provided. Our directions were followed exactly and all three of our girls very happy and healthy when we returned. We would absolutely book with them again!”

About: Hello! My name is Sam, and I’ve loved animals for as long as I’ve been able to walk and talk. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats so caring for a wide range of animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’m currently earning my degree in Animal Science at the U of I, with plans to pursue either veterinary school or a career in animal conservation or animal control. I’ve wanted to join Rover ever since I was little and watched my aunt run a mini daycare out of her home. Since then, I’ve pet‑sat for neighbors, family friends, and anyone who needed an extra hand with their pets. This summer, I’m interning at the Vermillion County Animal Shelter to continue building hands‑on experience. I’ve also worked as a Cat Care Volunteer at the Champaign PetSmart, where I helped with daily care, cleaning, and socialization. I’m excited to bring my experience, reliability, and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for! I'm currently working a part-time internship so I have plenty of free time for your fur-babies on weekends (all day) and weekdays (before 11 and after 3)! I care for pets by following their normal routines, keeping their space clean, ensuring safety, and providing consistent attention, exercise, and monitoring so they stay comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was around 5 years old. I have experience giving dogs pills, being consistent with training processes, and with senior dog care. I have also taken care of cats. I’m able to take care of dogs and cats in the mornings and evenings during the week and all day on weekends and holidays. I am a homebody so once I get done with work during the day, I am not leaving and play with my animals. I have a fenced in yard with a very friendly dog and cat. If needed, I have a room where I can separate my cat from other dogs to allow non-cat friendly dogs to stay. This room has his food, water, bed, toys, and litter box, while also being one I spend a large amount of time in so he is not lonely. My dog is fed once in the morning and is allowed to eat when he wants to and he runs outside in the backyard when he feels like it. I do adjust how often he gets fed and if he is free feeding when other animals are present. In clients' homes, I follow feeding and care instructions.

“I needed care for my pets while we went out of town. I found Makinzee on Rover, and she took our older dog in for more attentive care, and visited the house once a day to check on our more self reliant animals. She did a great job, and Id definitely book her again!”

“Katie came to our home for the first time today to let our dogs out to potty, get treats and play for a bit. She arrived on time, communicated well with me while she was with them and sent me pics of each of our fur babies. I will definitely call on her again!”

Stacy C.

“Kylie is amazing!! This is our second time booking with her and we will definitely use her again! She even went an extra visit cause we have some naughty cats which we were so so grateful for!”

About: Experience with dog care especially with walking and boarding. I have also worked at a dog daycare center where I was able to know about pet hygiene and cleaning. I am working part time. I can work mostly on evenings and late afternoons during the week and a full schedule for weekends. I can also be flexible with my schedule as needed I make sure to have a clean apartment for the pets. I do not have a yard but we have an open space for pets to roam freely

“Rebecca is friendly and was interested in our animals.”

“Roxanne is always so attentive with our girls. I can tell they are more comfortable with her than any other dog sitter I have used in the past. I have a very strong willed dog and an anxious one so it can be a challenge to find a good dog sitter for them. So thankful for Roxanne!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with 20+ years of dog care experience and a special place in my heart for both dogs and cats. I currently share my home with two English bulldogs, so I know all about the extra care and love our furry friends need. I’ve attended professional dog training and behavioral training, so I’m confident handling pups with different personalities and needs. I’m also experienced in administering medications and even shots, so you can feel at ease knowing your pet’s health is in safe hands. Whether it’s puzzles, playtime, cuddles, or specialized care, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. 🐶🐱 I’d love the chance to meet your fur baby and give them the best care while you’re away! Because I work from home and create my own hours, I can easily make pets a priority. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or evening check-ins, I have the freedom to give them the attention they deserve. Caring for pets in someone’s home is a responsibility I take seriously. I’ve completed behavioral and training classes, know how to safely administer medicine and injections, and have experience working with pets that struggle with anxiety or aggression. This background allows me to provide safe, reliable care while building trust.

“She’s is fantastic! Excellent communication and support. She was incredibly helpful and a true blessing. You can certainly trust her with your beloved pets!”

“Andrea is great from our first conversation we immediately felt comfortable leaving our babies in her care. Our pets take a while to warm up to people but so we were happy to be surprised that they were playing with Andrea, they could just tell she loved them very much ❤️ We would 100% recommend Andrea and our pets can’t wait to see her again.”

Nicole P.

“Jen is the absolute best!! Put this mama heart at ease coming to let the pups out and sending updates and pics throughout the visit! Top notch and so communicative! Thanks, Jen!”

“Such a great experience with Madison! Our kitty just loved her and so did we. Very detailed reports and loads of pictures that showed just how happy our boy was. She was very flexible and gave us updates on everything!! Will absolutely use again and would recommend her to anyone with a fur baby ❤️”

“Carli did another great job with our dogs and cat while we were on a weekend trip! She made sure to give them plenty of time to run and play with every visit, and they love her company. She continues to be our go-to!”
