About: I know what it takes for a dog to have a wonderful time! Too many dogs spend their days stuck in a kennel, and it breaks my heart. I also believe that it helps a dog to stay in familiar surroundings. I offer in-home pet-sitting, not just for your convenience, but for the best interests of your dog. I’ve raised dogs all my life. Over time, my interests turned to breeding and showing. I presently have my own dogs, as well as a cat and some birds. These experiences have made me deeply aware of what a dog needs to be happy and healthy. Meet-and-greets are essential for obtaining all necessary information in advance of the sit and making sure everyone gets along well. You’re entrusting me with both your dog and your home, and I treat that responsibility with the utmost seriousness. I’ll be punctual, and will ask about everything I need to know during the sit. During the stay, I will maintain a daily diary of what your dog and I are up to, so that when you return, you’re assured we had a fantastic time. I have been showing and breeding for over 30 yrs. we had a thriving pet sitting/transport company for many years before retiring to Az. My husband and I work as a team to ensure your pet gets the attention they deserve! Don't trust your pets to just anyone. Trust in our experience!! We are able to administer meds either orally or via injection. We are safety conscious and care for your beloved pets! We provide drop in service and house sitting. We provide additional services like watering plants and bringing in mail at no additional charge. We pet sit for bogs, cats, birds and horse. Little friends also like gerbils or snakes !! Trust your pet care to an experienced pet sitter ! Feel free to contact us with any questions or for more information.

About: Ive been around dogs a lot. I have 3 of my own. One named Hope. She’s more active, and needs alot of playtime. So I’m definitely good at managing that. One name is Oakley, he likes to be babied and cuddled. Ones name is Hank, and he is just the chillest dog haha. I already have dogs so I work 24/7 with my own. I have a lot of time on my hands so I’m free whenever. Anytime you just need a break I can come help, when you’re gone. I’ll do it. I give baths, I walk them, I play ball/fetch with them. I take them potty, feed them, give them treats. I do all the things it takes to take care of a dog, the same way you would treat a baby.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for five years! This includes family members, neighbours, and my own. I’m here to lift some weight off your shoulders if your going on vacation, or you just need your dog walked and checked in on while your at work! I’m currently a student online so, I’m available 7 days a week to take care of your pup/pups! At your needs only! From playing, to walking, to feeding! I know accidents can happen but, I will always care for you animal/animals as I do my own! Even if your dog is stressed out and needs some play time!

About: I have had all kinds of pets since I was a kid. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, hamsters and bunnies. I see them as the family members. I’m currently working part time, so I am very flexible. I can do drop-in visits of 30min or more. I can work around your schedule. Im leaving in an apartment with my two lovely cats. I will be happy to do drop-in visits at your place for the safety of everyone.

“Jenna was amazing with our dog who is a sweetie but high energy. She sent detailed updates regarding her visits and was always very kind and professional. We highly recommend Jenna!”


About: Pets make everything better. They are funny, know when you're sad or sick, and most of all, they are family. I have an amazing little peanut who I adopted from the Champaign County Humane Society when he was three months old and he is my everything! I'm a caring and loving person, and I will give your pets the affection and attention they deserve. I love going for walks even if it's raining or snowing!! I have a lot of experience watching dogs and just like people, pets unfortunately get sick too, and I know how to take care of them when they are. I also know what its like to have to leave your pets at home when you travel, it could be sad or kind of scary at times. In my past, I've stayed overnight at different houses, so rest assured when you're away I will take great care of your pets! My availability is super flexible. Im available 7 days a week, anytime. Unfortunately life happens, and I can be there anytime you need me. I can't wait to meet your furry friend. I do a lot of drop in visits and I'm very trustworthy. I promise you a safe experience when you book me through Rover and your loved pets will get the same care and attention that I give to my own baby boy!

“We needed help with our pup last minute and Misty was quick to respond and willing to work with our schedule. During the meet and greet I could tell she was very comfortable with animals as well as knowledgable. Overall Misty was amazing to work with and I felt at ease knowing our fur baby was in good hands.”


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: I've been raised with all kinds of dogs since I was young, from Pomeranian to Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I'm familiar with puppy behaviors, as well as care for elderly dogs. My days off are Monday & Tuesdays to give me plenty of time to care and play with your pets in the early mornings to overnights. Otherwise I currently work in the community Thurs-Sun 8am-5pm with Wednesdays being 12-5, though I'm able to step away for any walks, drop-ins, or play times needed! Please reach out with any scheduling requests and I'll do my best to accommodate for you! I prefer crate trained pets, much like my own, but I'm comfortable being around free roam and cuddly buddies! If given enough time in advance, I would love to meet your pet beforehand to ensure a comfortable and informative visit for the both of us.

About: One of my earliest memories was at the age of five. My mom brought my sister home from the hospital after she was born and I asked, "Can we have a kitten instead?!" Our parents started us with goldfish like most do. We then graduated to hamsters, followed by kittens. Currently, I have two dogs of my own that I consider to be my fur babies. Our pets can be much like our children, so I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to provide the care your animals need. My experience with animals comes from having my own as well as taking care of friends and family members pets as well. I love animals so much, I paint them on canvas as another passion of mine. I am looking forward to caring for your pet and providing whatever special needs they may have in order to make you and your animal feel comfortable while you are away. I work from home as an Artist so my schedule is flexible in between appointments outside of the home. I am unavailable Tuesday nights after 5pm. Looking forward to do whatever I need to stick to your pet's routine to keep them stress free, happy and healthy. Whether they enjoy long walks, active play or just snuggles and pets I would love to accommodate whatever their needs may be.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats (and a couple smaller critters here and there) since childhood and understand that pets are family. I currently have four small rescue dogs at home and am active in dog sitting for local friends and rescues. I know how it feels to leave your loved ones in someone else’s care, and I will do everything I can to give you peace of mind and make your fur babies as comfortable and happy as possible. My schedule is flexible, and I’ll do my best to work with you around my full-time day job. I’m generally free in the evenings and on weekends, so keep me in mind if you need a night away but want company for your furry housemates. I am happy to stay with your pets overnight and can also make time for daytime check-ins/walks as needed. Be sure to check out my holiday availability as well! Your pet’s safety is my priority! I like to chat with you and meet your pet(s) before any scheduled bookings so we’re both on the same page about your instructions and expectations. I also value clear and frequent communication. (That includes pictures and updates of your loved ones while in my care!) I respect your home as my own and will leave it as clean, secure and maintained as I found it. If you have any house quirks or special instructions, just let me know. For boarding and daycare services (in my home), we ask that all dogs be spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, and taking monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention. We typically do not host pets from multiple households at the same time, but please let me know if you have more than one dog for boarding/daycare and I’ll get you a quote. For the safety of our pets and yours, we are not able to host large dogs, cats or (human) children in our home, but I’m happy to come to yours!

About: I have plenty of experience with both dogs and cats. I have been working in a dog/cat boarding and daycare facility for a little over a year now. At work, we are responsible for providing individual care for each animal staying with us; we are in charge of providing them with playtime, feeding them, giving meds, and more. Personally, I have had two cats going on about 15 years now, and I have had two dogs (a lab mix and a pit mix) for about five years. I also have the experience of being a dog walker volunteer at a humane society! Right now, I am on summer break and home from school, and I am currently only working a part-time job. On days I do work at my part-time job, I’m usually working from 8-230pm 3-4 days a week, so I will usually be available outside of that time period on my working days. On non-working days, I typically have open availability. Since I am around animals pretty much 24/7, caring for them is part of my usual routine, making me very passionate and comfortable around animals. Unfortunately, one of my dogs is reactive and doesn't take well to new doggy friends, so care at my house would not be possible. However, in terms of staying in the owner's home, I would bring over some toys and other things dogs love, like treats, and I could even bring a splash pad for those who like water! I would make sure the dog is my number one priority and be on top of what their daily needs are. For cats, plenty of catnip and fun will be involved!

About: Hello! My name is Ella! I am a student at EIU and a PCT and SBL ! I have worked as a dog sitter/walker for friends and family and even strangers that have heard through the grapevine! Now that I live here I’m just looking for some more connections and fur babies down here! I cannot wait to help you and your fur ball out! I have experience in cleaning up after them, walks, feedings, administering medications, and simple check ins! I am happy to also love on them and make sure they are happy and healthy! I work part time at Sarah Bush Hospital and am a Senior at EIU! Pet walking/sitting interests me because I want to grow connections down here, and make some extra cash on the side ! I plan to fill my off days with loving on your fur babies! I mainly plan to walk dogs and come to your home! I will clean up after your pup/kitty and house sit any other needs you may have! I also love walking and can handle any size dog (I may be tiny but I’m very mighty! I grew up with walking 3 of my neighbors Huskies!) I am here to try to tend to your needs the best I can!


“Kate took pictures of Chance during his time walking. She walked him for two days. We did have an conflict with scheduling but Kate wanted to make it right after I expressed my concern. She did interact well with Chance!”

About: I have been dog sitting since I was 11 years old. I have taken care of all kinds of dogs, all ages and sizes. I have always grown up with a dog, so taking care of one is like second nature to me. I have looked after puppies as well as senior dogs. I have potty trained puppies in less than 2 weeks. I have been responsible for walking, feeding, entertaining/playing, and bathing services. I am a University of Illinois Student who is currently working part-time over the summer, therefore I have a flexible schedule! As as student at the University of Illinois, I have taken multiple courses in Animal Science, including Companion Animals in Society, Science of Pets and Their Care, and World Animal Resources. I walk my dog Arlo in the morning before work, and will do the same with pets that are under my care. I live on a lake and I do not have a fenced in yard, but I will walk them often. I will walk your pets around the neighborhood which you live if I am caring for them at your house. My 4 year old Husky/German Shepherd mix loves other dogs and is very friendly. My dog does not require a crate, however if that is something that your dog needs, I can accommodate! If I am watching your pets at my house, I will require proof of vaccinations to keep my dog safe as well!

About: I'm a honest trustworthy person who makes it my mission to be dependable and I love dogs! So I thought I'd give this a try! im also trying to hit some fitness goals so super interested in making some dogs run! Just got back to Champaign from Arizona / Las Vegas! I would love to get good clients and do this full time . If you have any questions please reach out! Every dog / cat is different and requires different needs so basically I Treet my fur babies as family and do my best to raise them right!

About: Background: I’ve spent over six years working with animals, but my love for them started much earlier. Growing up in a home full of cats and dogs, I naturally became the go-to caretaker in the house. That experience taught me not just responsibility, but how to understand pets on an emotional level. About Me: I’m a longtime animal lover with six years of professional experience in pet sitting, dog walking, and general animal care. While I currently live in a pet-free building, that hasn’t stopped me from staying active in the animal care world. I’m known for being friendly, reliable, and adaptable—especially for clients with last-minute needs or unique requests. I provide regular photo or video updates upon request, so you’ll always know your furry friend is happy and safe. Feel free to message me with any questions or specific requests. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I currently have open availability, so I’m very adaptable to you and your pet’s schedule. I often visit the gym on my free time to lift. I follow my clients instructions provided, and if there are no instructions, I make sure to ask lots of questions before being left with your pet!

About: My family has had a rescue dog since she was a puppy and is now a senior dog. I have had my own 2 shelter dogs living with me full time for over 2 years so I have been exposed to dealing with separation anxiety and many different reactions. I know I will be able to exceed your pets needs and provide lots of love and attention! I am currently working full time, in office M-F so my availability is mostly weekends. Our household has 2 young dogs so after work I will take them on a run daily for their high energy. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat on a few acres of land so they are very active outside. I used to live in an apartment and would exercise my 3 year old lab retriever for about 2 hours a day! I love playing fetch and games with our animals and am excited to entertain your pets!

“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!!”

“Mia took care of my dog that I rescued so I didn’t want him alone. He was very skittish and sky and Mia got him to come out of his shell just by talking to him and moving slow with him. I will forever for as long as I have my sweet boy allow her to care for him. And recommend her to others!”

“Katie has such a special connection with animals. She is friendly, loving, conscientious, and always looking out for the best for others - including animal friends! I've seen her care for her own animals and the animals of others for two decades. She is consistent in making sure they receive all that they need (and on-time) - including caring attention for play and exercise time. I trust Katie with any responsibility she takes on, and especially when animals are involved :)”
