House Sitting in Giblin

“Tanya provided exceptional care for our cat and two dogs while staying over a long holiday weekend in our home. She asked excellent questions during our "meet and greet," so when it came time for us to leave our animals we knew they were in good hands. She arrived to house sit early afternoon on Friday and left late on Monday to accommodate our travel schedule. Our animals each have particular needs and personality quirks. For instance, we have one high energy dog that requires oral medication, frequent potty breaks, and long walks. Our other dog is content sleeping all day and needs to be convinced to take short walks! Plus, the energetic dog will eat the lazy dog's food if given the opportunity, so we feed them separately. Then, our cat is low maintenance, but still needs food, water, affection, and to have her box cleaned daily. Finally, the dogs wake up at 5am for breakfast (whether we're awake or not). Caring for the three of them is a lot of work and Tanya did a great job attending to their needs! We came home from vacation to happy, heathy pets and a clean house. We could not have asked for a better pet sitter. I highly recommend Tanya and would absolutely employ her services again.”

“Milo was so great with our babies! He was really responsive and all of them were so happy when we got home. Our cat had surgery a week ago, and we felt very comfortable leaving him at home under the care of Milo.”

“Abigail was great, we appreciated the updates and pictures while we were away. She communicated well and took good care of our sweet girl (13 year old dog). We will book again :)”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life; I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m the person who happily hangs out with pets at parties. I have experience with pets who need daily medication and extra TLC, especially senior animals or those with chronic conditions. Whether it’s a slow stroll or high-energy zoomies, I adjust to what your pet needs most. While I don’t have a yard, I do live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with a fully fenced dog park just steps away—perfect for safe off-leash play! I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they’re my own. Can’t wait to meet yours 💕 I work full-time from home with a very flexible schedule, which means I’ve got plenty of time to shower your pet with attention, walks, snuggles, and play. I’m also a bit of a homebody, so your pup will rarely—if ever—be left alone. If your pet thrives on company and routine, we’ll get along great! I take multiple walks every day and would be happy to match your pup’s routine—whether they love long strolls, quick potty breaks, or both. At home, your dog is welcome on the couch and the bed (plenty of room for snuggles!), but if you'd prefer they stick to their own space, I’m happy to keep those boundaries consistent. Whatever makes your dog feel safe, relaxed, and at home, I’m here for it. If it makes you more comfortable, you're more than welcome to request a meeting with me well in advance of any booking so that you can ensure that my home will be a good fit.

About: I am a 5 year experienced veterinary technician who has worked primarily with small animals in multiple practices across the United States. I am currently enrolled in veterinary medical school pursuing my doctorate at UIUC in their college of veterinary medicine. In addition, I am a life-long pet owner myself! I grew up with dogs in a variety of sizes, as well as cats. As a veterinary student, I have classes in the morning and sometimes afternoon. This should not be a concern as I still have plenty of time to watch pets! We have multiple breaks through the day and I own a car. Classes never extend past 4:00 pm. So, I can travel to your pet and am fully open in evenings for long walks! I care for pets in the owners home! As a veterinary student, I am living in an apartment which is not always the appropriate place for watching certain large-sized dogs. I also have a cat of my own who is terrified of dogs!

“Sarah was the best!! Our dog was so comfortable with her and it was great to have the peace of mind of having a responsible sitter while we were out of town. She sent us pictures and videos every day and we came home to a happy and healthy puppy. We will definitely rebook with her for our future trips!”

“Melissa did an amazing job with our pup! She sent photos of him while we were gone and took such great care of him. We would love to have her back again!”

“Absolutely wonderful! This was our first time using Rover and she made our experience well worth it. Lorrie is very personable, helpful, a great communicator, asked all of the right questions & followed instructions to a T and most importantly, I could tell our pets enjoyed her company. Not only were our pets well taken care of but so was our house while we were away. Overall, she is a lovely person that you can tell enjoys doing this for the animals 🐾💜”

About: I have been around animals my whole life but professionally just over 3 years! As a college student on break I have an extremely flexible schedule to dedicate to your pups needs!! I have a yellow lab name named bailey which is my absolute world! With professional experience working in a kennel that includes, I cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m trained in grooming, recognizing early signs of health issues, and handling medications confidently and safely. I know how to stay calm under pressure and respond quickly in case of an emergency. I’m also familiar with maintaining training routines. especially with working dogs, as my own dog Bailey is a trained hunting dog. I’ll make sure your pup is well cared for, both physically and mentally, just like I would for my own. As I have mentioned previously, I am currently still on summer break before college and have recently left my kennel job this past week so I will have ample time to take care of your fur baby! My schedule is currently available all day! I care for pets with the same attention and love I give my own dog, making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable at all times. I follow any routine you provide, including feeding, walks, playtime, training, and medications. I understand that routines are important as it comes to making them feel safe and a constant when you are away! (My dog bailey has a strict routine so I get this!) When it comes to your home, I treat it with complete respect and care! Keeping things the same as it was left, secure, and following any house rules you share. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel totally at ease while you're away and stress free!

“Patrick housesat and watched our dog and kitten over the Christmas holidays. He sent us daily photos and prompt messages. On very short notice he was able to stay an extra night due to our travel delays. We would definitely schedule again for any future pet sitting 😊”

“Kim was incredible. She took great care of my Gracie. Loved the updates she supplied. I would recommend Kim to sit for anyone. Thank you Kim!”

“Zoey is fantastic! She was great with our dogs as evidenced by the regular text and picture updates she sends. She was also a lifesaver by being flexible and extending her pet care services when our travel plans home fell apart and got significantly delayed. 10/10 ⭐️ and would definitely recommend Zoey!”

Matthew H.

“Becky stayed at our house while we were out of town. I am one of those pet owners that gets very anxious and worries a lot about my dogs. However, when Becky was there I felt totally at ease and didn’t worry once. She was great with communication and sent pictures. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”

Morgan R.

“Chase was an amazing sitter and would highly recommend! Needed to book at the last minute and he was extremely accommodating. Also clearly loves dogs and was great at sending updates. Book him if you can because he was truly the best!”

Zoe L.

“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.”
