Abby did a great job with our Yorkie. This is our second time having Abby babysit our fur baby. She also leaves your house in perfect condition. I would definitely recommend Abby.

I have never left my fur babies with anyone other than my daughter before. I couldn’t say enough how great she was. Ollie who is normally shy and takes awhile to warm up to people was sitting on her lap before I hardly got gone. I would not use anyone else.

Aubrey took good care of my cat while I was on vacation. My cat is very old and blind. I was nervous leaving her but Aubrey sent me updates and pics regularly. She was also diligent in following my instructions for her care. Aubrey did such a good job, I don’t think my cat even knew I was gone!

Michelle is incredible! She helped us immensely by caring for our pupper in home while we enjoyed a weekend away. Having recently moved, It was important for us to keep our pup less stressed in a familiar environment - Michelle totally understood and approached Finley with patience and KINDNESS!! Michelle sent the best photos of our little man and I knew he was in excellent hands. Michelle is an animal whisperer and we are just so glad to have found her 🥹 ty Michelle!!!!!

About: I love animals of all kinds. I have had cats and dogs my whole life as well as help watch my neighbors pets while they are gone. Let me take great care of your pet while you're away! 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: 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.

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.

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!

Madie was amazing. We had a last minute conflict with our dog sitter and she came to the rescue. It was our first time using someone who was not family watching her. She came to our house on Thanksgiving to do a meet and greet which greatly decreased our hesitation about using someone else to watch our fur baby. Madie went above and beyond what we could have asked for. She was professional and extremely kind. She cared for Stella as if she were her own. We will definitely be using her again! Cannot recommend her enough.

About: As a sitter, I stand out because of my unique blend of experience and skills. I specialize in training puppies, ensuring they develop into well-behaved companions. Additionally, I have a passion for senior care, providing attentive and compassionate support to older pets. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment for all animals under my care, tailored to their specific needs and personalities. With me, your furry friends are not just looked after; they're cherished. Pet care is not just a part of my routine; it's a priority that shapes my day. I wake up every day at 3am when my dog is whining in my ear to go outside, ensuring their needs are met even before the sun rises. Throughout the day, I integrate playtime, walks, and feeding schedules seamlessly into my schedule, making sure each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's early morning walks or late-night cuddles, my pets are always at the forefront of my daily activities. I have fenced and a ring camera with a big yard. I never leave my dog out of my site! They can run around for hours. I have a park by me as well that’s 5 minutes away
