My schedule varies, sometimes I travel for work but when I am home I work from home so pet sitting is very flexible and easy for me. I can accomodate last minute bookings also. I have a large yard for pets to get excersice and I live in the country. My son is 12, very responsible and love pets, he is my little helper and would not only help take care of your baby but give them extra love!

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 13. I’ve always had a cat growing up and when I was old enough to get my own pet I had a dog. I work part time at a dog boarding facility and when I’m not there I’m home. So I have plenty of free time to do walks, dog parks, naps on the couch, play time, and anything else needed for your fur baby. I care for pets like they are my own with unlimited pets & love. I also treat other homes like it’s my own clean, tighty, and in place.

“Brooklynn has been a frequent caretaker for my elder, 15 year old black lab. When caring for Halee she is responsible for administering her medications, preparing her food, taking her on short walks, and aiding her if she has any mobility issues. She has always met all of my standards for my babies care, i’ve never had an issue. With this, she has taken care of my spoiled cat giving her so much love and affection. Both of my animals adore Brooklynn and we couldn’t imagine having anyone but her!”

“Obie loves AJ! So grateful to have her walk my anxious baby!”

About: I am a proud mother of a 4yr old son and an 10 yr old daughter.. My daughter is usually at school for most of the day. However, caring for both full time I have come to notice animals stimulate both kids and teach them respect, responsibility and routine. We are excited to em"bark" on this new chapter in life and cant wait to start. Together, I believe all 3 of my family unit would not only love, but sincerely enjoy even the smallest and largest pets while their 'parents' are away or just need some attention. With summer upon us - my schedule (and helping hands) have become more flexible. Currently, I am available every day from 6am to 7pm. Holidays, weekends, and every day that ends in "Y"! With respect to the pet , clients home, and specific care needs, I try to always keep an open mind and heart but keeping respect in the foreground.

About: My name is Alli, I live in Champaign, and I’ve done pet and house sitting for a little over 3 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.

“I highly recommend Joey as a pet sitter! He took care of my dog Oscar while I was away for a week, and I couldn't have been happier. Joey was responsible, attentive, and showed genuine care and affection toward Oscar. He followed all instructions diligently, kept me updated with regular photos and messages, and went above and beyond to ensure Oscar was happy and well-cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing Joey was looking after him. I will definitely be reaching out to Joey for future pet sitting needs.”

“Madison is fantastic, attentive, and goes the extra mile!! Cleo LOVES walks with Madie and her tail wags as soon as she sees her. She has been so reliable and consistent with her help and we appreciate her SO MUCH!!”

“Let this serve as a letter of affirmation that Riley J. is a very responsible person who LOVES pets. She gives the same amount of care, patience, affection and adoration as she gives her own pets (2 dogs, 2 cats and 4 ducks). She has carefully raised 1 dog from a pup (and hasn’t met a dog she doesn’t like), 1 shelter dog and at least 8 kittens ferel to tame (even bottle feeding one: people ask her to prepare kittens for households), and 4 ducks from ducklings. She is a gentle and kind but also understands how to provide positive reinforcement and enrichment and training to teach and reinforce rules. Riley is responsible in her duties and will meet and exceed expectations for care.”

“I highly recommended Rachel S to take care of your fur babies. I have 4 cats, 3 who tolerate others well and one who does not like others outside of the family. Rachel S is always very patient with Jack's attitude. She is a multiple dig owner, and they are spoiled with love and attention. Rachel S is the perfect person to care for your pet if your looking for a responsible and caring person.”

“Heather was great with my puppy and my older dog Very patient with my puppy and spent a lot of time playing with both of them. I was very impressed with her. Will definitely be calling her again!!”

“Brianna was a fantastic walker for our two dogs. She was a great communicator, super reliable, helpful, and so detailed in her walking notes. Our dogs loved her and she was amazing with them. I felt much better leaving my pups at home during the day knowing that Brianna was going to come see and walk them. Highly recommend her!”

“Michaela was amazing with my dog. She immediately bonded with him and provided great care. It seemed like he really enjoyed the walk. I will book with Michaela again and would definitely recommend her.”
