“Melissa has been dropping by to walk my dog Pepper for about a year now and I could not ask for a better experience!!! Pepper loves her and is always happy when I get home from work, and Melissa always takes time to play with her after their walk. Melissa is very responsive and easy to get ahold of. She is also usually able to squeeze us in if I book at the last minute. Overall I’ve had a very good, low stress experience!!!”

About: I’ve had many kinds of animals from dogs to gerbils since I could remember! I love taking care of and bonding with them. I have the most experience with cats but love all kinds. I like to think I am a pet whisperer and am naturally drawn to them! I am responsible and friendly, as well as flexible with whatever. I work full time, 2pm to 11pm, therefore, I will be available in the mornings. I will also be available all days of the week! I do not plan on having animals in my home; as I already have plenty of cats and a dog who would not agree with visitors. I will only be doing drop in visits and walking.
“I had a great experience with this dog walker! They were incredibly kind and patient with my senior dog Max, who’s 11 years old and moves at his own pace. It was clear they really cared—after the walk, they made sure Max had water and was comfortable before leaving. I really appreciate the extra attention to detail and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and gentle with older dogs.”

About: My husband and I have lived in and near around Champaign for 6 years. We have 3 cats together, Max, Little Miss and Bella. We also have a red Golden Retriever, Archie.

Even if there is a fenced in yard, I like to watch them to make sure they don't get out of the yard or get into something they shouldn't.

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing how deeply she cares for animals, always approaching each pet with patience, kindness, and attentiveness. She is not only reliable and trustworthy, but she also goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved in her care. I've seen her personally go out of her way to make sure my pet is well taken care of. Sometimes I think she spoils him more than I would! She is super kind and a completely wonderful caregiver. It is a joy every single time I have asked her for help looking after my dog. She really does treat every pet like family. Anyone would be lucky to have her looking after their furry friend!”

“Cory's Pet Service is an exceptional service provider for pets. I have used his services for my pets multiple times, and every time I am impressed with the quality of care he provides for them. Cory is highly professional, reliable, and attentive to the pets' needs, and he ensures that they receive the highest level of care in their owner's absence. He takes the time to get to know each pet and their unique personality, which shows in the way he interacts with them. Moreover, he takes ample time for exercise and playtime, which keeps the pets active and healthy. I would highly recommend Cory to anyone who wants to ensure their pets are well-cared for in their absence.”
