About: I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I've cared for dogs in a home environment, including feeding, walking, bathing, playing, and maintaining their daily routines. I'm also a PhD student at the University of Illinois and work from home most of the week, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same attention I would want for my own pets! I'm currently a PhD student at the University of Illinois, and I work from home most of the week. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I'm generally available on both weekdays and weekends for boarding, doggy day care, walks, and drop-in visits. Since I'm home so frequently, pets won't have to spend long periods of time alone, and I can easily accommodate their regular feeding, exercise, and bathroom routines. I live in a dog-friendly, first-floor apartment that provides a comfortable and welcoming environment for pets. Since I work from home most of the week, I'm able to provide regular supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize each pet's safety and comfort by following their usual routines, including feeding schedules, walks, bathroom breaks, and playtime. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I'm happy to accommodate their individual preferences. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make sure to respect their space, follow all instructions carefully, and maintain their pet's normal routine. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for!

“Bailey and her fiancé were very responsible and communicative! During the stay, Bailey had an allergic reaction to something in our house so couldn’t stay overnight, but she offered instead to complete frequent drop-ins and ultimately made sure our dog was well taken care of. I’m very grateful!”

“Zoey is fantastic! She was great with our dogs as evidenced by the regular text and picture updates she sends. She was also a lifesaver by being flexible and extending her pet care services when our travel plans home fell apart and got significantly delayed. 10/10 ⭐️ and would definitely recommend Zoey!”

About: Three years volunteering at animals shelters and caring for the animals including walks, exercise, cleaning and training of dogs, cats and rats. One year in school for veterinary medicine caring for various animals and in charge of cleaning, sanitation and care for all animals boarded at the school. Can pet sit, walk, train and provide other necessary care for your beloved pet of any kind on any day of the week. I am here for your furry loved ones like I am here for my own. Love and trust are things we must build in our relationships with our furry babies. No different than with people. Through many years of experience having pets and caring for them in various institutions, I have no problem with hard work and patience when it comes to the customized care for each individual pet.

“Kortney does amazing, takes this job very seriously. Met every single need of our pets. Took great care of our stressed out cat and was even able to make friends with her. Gave her medication just right. Our pooch loves her and was wonderfully taken care of. Kortney's communication is spot on!!! She was able to schedule drop in visits the entire week before we left to give our cat a chance to know her. Took great care of our home and watered my outdoor plants for me. Our cat gets idiopathic cystitis when she is stressed so needless to say we were worried about going but this could not have been better and was the most relaxed vacation I have had in years!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 20 years, mine and others. I believe animals should be loved and respected. I have a toy poodle, but have had schnauzers, pitties, a chihuahua, and cats, as well as fish, a bearded dragon, and a snake named Fluffy. I am a full-time student, so outside of class I can provide care. In addition, weekends are generally just studying time, so you don’t have to worry about too busy a schedule with me. I believe it is important to communicate how your home works - dogs free in the yard, always use leashes, schedules - your pet’s safety and care is my #1 priority.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was 10, my own included. I have been pet sitting for neighbors ever since I was 10. I am a graduate student so my hours during the day and night are largely flexible. I am usually completely free during the weekend. I can usually adapt to the routine and pet needs I live in a pet friendly apartment with outdoor yard space. I am very active and love to take dogs on the walks/runs and/or to nearby parks.

“Paige was seriously the BEST! My two big dogs, especially the lab puppy, can be such a handful, but she kept him happy and constantly updated us with photos. Not only was I worry-free our entire trip, we got home super late at night to find that Paige had cleaned our whole house! It was seriously cleaner than it's ever been. And since we had to work early the next day, she measured and set out the dog food for us ahead of time, which was so helpful. I can't recommend her enough and will definitely be using her again. Thanks so much Paige!”

“Amy was great with my dog Whimzy - she sent me many pics and videos of her and was super professional all around. Would totally want her to pet sit Whimzy again.”

About: Thank you for considering me to care for your furry family member! In my house, pets are family, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I work primarily from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with the dogs in my care. Whether it’s an awesome playtime sesh, a neighborhood walk, some fresh air in the backyard, or simply lounging together on the sofa, I enjoy giving dogs the love and attention they deserve. I no longer have a dog of my own (but I had the best Beagle for 15 wonderful years until recently), so your dog will have my full attention! I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. BOARDING I want your dog to feel right at home during their stay! They’ll have free rein of the house and can sleep wherever they’re most comfortable, including in my bed. If you prefer a crate, just provide one and I’m happy to accommodate. I live in a duplex with a very large, fully fenced and gated backyard shared with my next-door neighbors, who have a Golden Retriever and a Frenchton. If your dog enjoys other dogs, we can discuss sharing the outdoor space. Otherwise, I can provide individual walks and plenty of outdoor potty breaks. DOG WALKING Whether your dog needs a brisk walk, a gentle stroll, or some fresh air and exploring, I’ll tailor walks to their age, energy level, and abilities. DROP-IN & HOME VISITS If your pet is happier at home, I can help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I can also arrange daytime or overnight stays, depending on your needs and my availability. PET TAXI Need a ride to the groomer, vet, or another outing? I can help with transportation depending on scheduling and distance. Just ask! MY APPROACH TO CARE I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, habits, and routines, and I’ll carefully follow your instructions, including any medication or special care needs. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates once or twice a day, if you’d like. Above all, I want you to feel comfortable and confident knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and consideration I’d want someone to give my own. I look forward to meeting you both! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s needs. I can accommodate multiple walks throughout the day, depending on scheduling, and I’m open to boarding one family’s pets at a time so they can receive plenty of individual attention. Advance notice is always appreciated, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities. I follow your instructions carefully, respect your home and your pet’s routines, and make sure your furry family member receives plenty of attention and care. As I get to know each dog, I’m mindful of their personality, needs, and comfort level, whether we’re out for a walk, spending time in your home, or enjoying a stay in mine. I offer boarding for one family’s pets at a time so they can receive more individualized attention. I’m always happy to discuss your pet’s needs, routines, and any special instructions so you can feel confident they’re in caring hands.

About: I have experience raising Labrador Retrievers, Poodles, Schnauzers, and Dachshunds, and I’ve also taken care of my friends’ cats many times! I’m a huge animal lover and a volunteer at the Champaign County Humane Society. Both dogs and cats tend to warm up to me very quickly, and we usually become cuddle buddies in no time! I genuinely love spending time with animals and will treat your furry family members like my own, with lots of love, attention, and cuddles! 🐾❤️ Pet care is part of my everyday life. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just spending quality time with them, caring for animals is something I naturally make time for. It’s not just a task—it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to each day. I live alone, so pets get my full attention and a quiet, calm space to relax in. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable—whether that’s sticking to their routine, giving lots of playtime and cuddles, or just being nearby so they don’t feel alone. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow any instructions closely to keep things familiar for their pet.

About: I have been taking care of my own and others dogs since I was around 8 years old. I really enjoy spending time with and caring for pets. I have also shortly volunteered at a few animal shelters in the past. I am a full time student at UIUC and pet care fits into my weekly schedule as my job and passion whenever I can be of service. In my own home I have a safe environment and a large fenced yard. I prioritize safety and happiness for the pet and satisfaction for the owner.

“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: Long time fur dad and lifelong lover of animals. Have personal and professional experience with a vast variety of dog breeds. Well versed in training and obedience should you need it. Your cats and other critters will love me too, even reptiles! Currently I have a dog, cat, and two chinchillas. As a local realtor my schedule is very flexible so I can give your pets lots of time and attention. I work from home so your pet(s) are never unsupervised while here. I'm available Monday-Sunday to give your pet the concierge level of care they deserve. Not knowing where you are can be stressful for pets. I do my best to make sure your pet is at ease and has fun while you are away. I live near a lake and trails that make for some great walking. If your pet needs to be in a kennel while sleeping that is no problem, otherwise they are welcome on the furniture like my own pets are. My dog is very friendly, non-dominant, and loves having a buddy to romp around with. The cat will ignore them.
