1. Abby B.
“Abby is excellent! She took wonderful care of our 2 dogs, 2 cats and home durning an overnight stay. Our high energy, anxious and often particular doodle took to her immediately as did the rest of our menagerie. Abby communicated throughout her stay and sent many pictures and videos. We returned to a spotless home and very happy animals. Could not recommend Abby more and hope to have her house sit for us again in the future!”
2. Aubrey H.
“Aubrey always told me she was going to be Vet at a very young age ..Aubrey has a love for all animals ever since she was a young child and has such a calm about her when she is with them. Don’t think she has ever meet an animal she did not connect with 💗 we had a set of kittens and could not get one to eat anything solid it would just drink milk. Aubrey was so patient and with a little time she did get the kitten to start eating so we called her that Cat whisper. She will treat your Fur Babies as her own !!!”
3. Jennifer P.
“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.”
4. Mallorie S.
“Mallorie is a very caring individual that has an enormous heart for animals. She treats every animal that she come into contact with like her own. As a pre-vet major she is very knowledgeable about the health and wellbeing of animals.”

“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!
8. Danielle D.
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.
9. Brooklynn L.
“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!”
10. Madison T.
“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.”
11. Alli V.
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.
12. Ben O.
“Ben did a great job House sitting with our two pups for a long weekend. He sent lots of photos to let us see how they were doing and they were happy and healthy upon our return. And the house was exactly as we left it. We’ll definitely use Ben again when we travel!”
13. Heather E.
“Heather has done an excellent job for us! She is reliable and our dog is so happy when she helps us out. Heather will send multiple texts and pics throughout the day. She will call or text with questions which I truly appreciate. Our home is always spotless when we return and our dog is happy and relaxed. Thank you Heather!”
