House Sitting in Hayes

“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 :)”

“I have used Rover several times throughout my dog’s 10 years and have NEVER seen her warm up (and calm down) to someone the way she did with Milo, which speaks volumes about how Milo handles animals with care and compassion. We came home to two very content animals after being away for a couple of nights and booking at the last minute, and Milo was also super respectful of our home. I would definitely recommend, and I know Milo is going to make an amazing vet tech!”

“She did such a good job watching our babies! She sent multiple pictures and videos to keep us updated and made sure Anchovy got played with during her visits! We will definitely use her again and would 1000% recommend!”

“Oso enjoyed having Fallon over and she was consistently checking in with me to see how Oso was doing and was super accommodating on such short notice! I highly recommend her for house sitting and walks! Oso loved her and I’ll be using her services in the future!”

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!

“Fantastic babysitter! Really loved Olive like we would and took amazing care of her! We got daily photos and our doggo looked very happy every day! 10/10 recommend”

“Chace was amazing. This was our first time using Rover and he did a great job in calming our nerves and getting to know Nova. She is high maintenance (reactive to dogs, lots of allergies) and he was very patient. It took time for her to warm up to him but he was willing to wait and by the end of the trip she was giving kisses and loved having him around. Chace checked in daily with updates and was extremely clean. I definitely appreciate his attention to detail! I highly recommend Chace to any person who might be nervous or hesitant to use the app. He met us in person before the trip to get everyone acclimated. Super easy and reliable experience overall! We will be in touch for future trips.”

“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: 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)!

“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.”

Angie J.

“Vonda exceeded our expectations!”

Barry H.

“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.”

Jenny P.

“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.

“Claire did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs and our house. She was friendly, easygoing, communicative and sent us pictures and updates.”

About: Pre-vet student dedicated to providing quality to care to all of your fur babies. I have been pet sitting and dog walking for 8+ years, on top of being a veterinary assistant. I have experience caring for all animals including exercise and administering medications. I have experience with all ages, from 6-weeks to 16! I have a rescue german shepherd of my own, so I am also familiar with the more fearful babies. I put your pets need above anything else! I am working part-time as a veterinary assistant so I have multiple days a week that are open for pet care! I truly enjoy meeting and caring for new animals, and would love to fill up my off-days with caring for your pet. I currently don't offer boarding in my own home, but I can come to you and treat your babies as my own! I love seeing pets in the environment they are most comfortable, such as their own home. I provide compassionate care to your pets in and out of the house.

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!

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: 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: 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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for five years! This includes family members, neighbours, and my own. I’m here to lift some weight off your shoulders if your going on vacation, or you just need your dog walked and checked in on while your at work! I’m currently a student online so, I’m available 7 days a week to take care of your pup/pups! At your needs only! From playing, to walking, to feeding! I know accidents can happen but, I will always care for you animal/animals as I do my own! Even if your dog is stressed out and needs some play time!
