“Annadel was so great to communicate with, and our dogs had a wonderful time staying at her house! I will definitely book with Annadel again! Loved seeing video updates of our dogs as well throughout the stay!”


“Caitlin was great with my little man Hank. I'm happy I chose Caitlin to board Hank. Caitlin kept me posted on his feeding and socializing while I was away, she even sent pictures.”


“Lainey agreed to board my Golden and Aussie last minute and she did a phenomenal job! My Aussie does not like new people and struggles with severe anxiety and fear aggression. I was honest about his behaviors upfront and not once did she seem scared, which is so uncommon, even at dog boarding facilities. Because of her passion for animals, managing behaviors, and training, he had a successful stay and I could enjoy time away without worrying constantly. I can't begin to explain how freeing and relieving that was! I will be using Lainey in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Lainey!! You are such a blessing!”


“Kolton was fantastic! He was very professional and organized and I knew I was leaving my dog in good hands! This was our first experience with Rover and it went great. Kolton called us beforehand to learn more about Nala and her schedule, feeding, treats, and medications. We were able to ask any questions and get to know more about him as well. This helped us feel so much better about her stay. He sent updates and pictures of Nala while he was watching her so we always knew how she was doing. Our pup had a blast!! Thanks Kolton!”


“Feiran and her husband always go OUT of their way to make sure Bailey is right at home. In fact - sometimes I think Bailey is much better cared for in their house than ours! They really treat B like she's their own and their own lab, Yami, is so so so sweet to B. I can't say enough great things about them. We know Bailey is always so excited to get to stay here!”


“Very happy with the care this family provided our pets. We have an elderly dog and were happy to know she was comfortable and looked after while we were out of town. Wonderful to have a local option when the need to travel arises, both of our dogs were happy and well cared for with Lauren and family!”


“Kellie was wonderful! She was thoughtful and asked all the right questions to make sure she could give my dog Jersey the best care possible. I'll definitely be looking to Kellie for my future pet-sitting needs!”


“I found Serina on Rover.com when I was looking for a sitter for my dog on short notice. I'm so glad I chose her - my dog Gabe had an absolutely wonderful stay! She was extremely attentive to everything regarding his care, and even got to know him really well in the few days he spent at her place. Gabe really liked her apartment (especially her cat) and Serina took excellent care of him, with plenty of walks and photos sent to me while I was away. She even brushed him! It couldn't have gone better, and I think Gabe hopes to see more of Serina and get another fun weekend away from boring ol' me. I'd highly recommend Serina for any pet care, as not only does she provide great care but she truly wants to get to know your animal and connect with them. Thanks for taking such good care of Gabe!”


“Rae did an amazing job caring for Bella. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Her communication and attention to detail were the best that I have ever received. Thank you so much Rae for helping me with Bella!”


About: Hi there, I’m Sierra! I currently reside in Champaign and work at a few daycare/boarding facilities here. I’m currently going to school to become a vet tech, so on top of having animal care experience I also have some vet med experience! I have two dogs of my own and spend everyday around all sorts of dogs, miniature to giant! I look forward to meeting you and taking great care of your pup! Pet care fits into my daily routine best in the morning since I go to work in the pm, but I work with animals every day and have a different schedule every day! If my schedule looks confusing or even if I have a day marked unavailable that you need pet care on, please reach out to me, I’m always willing to see if I can move anything around to accommodate! Pets will feel right at home here! I offer an unfenced area for them to run and potty as well as living not far from a dog park. I always make sure the dog is comfortable with me at all times and take the steps needed to gain and maintain their trust, I never want to stress the animals out in a new environment or in their own environment.

“Nate did a great job with Hank. Hank had a great time with Nate and enjoyed his walks. He was thrilled to have a playmate as well! Hank and Nash seemed to really enjoy playing together. It was really nice getting pictures of Nash and Hank playing. We will definitely use Nate again.”


“Our two dogs boarded with Milo for a week. We can tell from the pictures, and their attitude when we picked them up, that they were happy and well-cared for. They especially got lots of snuggles, their favorite thing in the world! We would be happy for our dogs to stay with Milo again in the future.”


“Christina and her family took amazing care of my dog and she had a great time! She even got a bath and she smells great. Thank you so much — we will definitely use you again in the future!!”


“I can’t recommend Elisse enough! She was an absolute gem when it comes to taking care of my pup. From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear that she genuinely love animals and go above and beyond to ensure every pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved. I got regular updated and photos during my visit.”


About: I am currently a veterinary student at uiuc looking to watch dogs in the morning before class and in the afternoons/ evenings after class. Excited to meet you and your pet! Full time veterinary student. I would be able to take care of your pet before 7 am and after 5pm throughout the week days! Weekends are generally free. I can easily crate your dog if needed, go on walks, place a harness and observe the dogs while within the home. I am excited to give a lot of loving and attention to your pets.

“Wanyi was incredibly patient and caring. Even though it was just a one-day boarding, she sent me lots of thoughtful updates about my cat, which really put my mind at ease. You can truly feel her love and genuine care for animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet sitter!”


About: I’ve taken care of pets all my adult life. Throughout the years I’ve had 3 large mixed breed dogs all adopted from shelters. I have also had 2 cats. I will welcome your potty trained dog into my home. We have a nice sized , fenced yard and a great neighborhood for walks. I’m currently working part time . I am off in the summer. When I work it is no longer then 4-5 hours (usually much shorter) so I can be home for your dog’s bathroom breaks. I welcome all house trained, non destructive dogs into my home. I have a fenced yard and can crate your dog if that is what your dog is used to . I don’t have a crate but you would be welcome to bring one over.
