“Teresa and Scott were great. They sent pics so I could see Daisy was making friends and doing great. This was her first time away from home.Definitely will book with them again.”
“Once again, stellar dog-watching! We left Logan for a little over 4 days. We received daily video updates and never once had any concern for Logan’s safety, happiness, and overall wellbeing. Will continue booking with them as long as they are free and able!”
“The best of the best. Feiran gave Shadow a sweet home during our 11-day long vacation. My little Shadow is old, blind, and needs lots extra care. Feiran took Shadow to RSM lake park, let him relax at her house back yard, feed him carefully. Shadow has the best off-home care this time. Thank you very much Feiran!”
“Kellie was phenomenal with our dog, Baylee. We had been having problems with Baylee eating and Kellie was able to find something she would eat. Along with managing the number of treats Baylee received, Kellie took Baylee for numerous walks (I think daily), that we think our dog lost weight - which was desperately needed. We are continuing with Kellie's start to a new regimen for Baylee in hopes of making her healthier. Thanks for everything, Kellie!!”
“Our two dogs boarded with Milo for a week. We can tell from the pictures, and their attitude when we picked them up, that they were happy and well-cared for. They especially got lots of snuggles, their favorite thing in the world! We would be happy for our dogs to stay with Milo again in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets all my adult life. Throughout the years I’ve had 3 large mixed breed dogs all adopted from shelters. I have also had 2 cats. I will welcome your potty trained dog into my home. We have a nice sized , fenced yard and a great neighborhood for walks. I’m currently working part time . I am off in the summer. When I work it is no longer then 4-5 hours (usually much shorter) so I can be home for your dog’s bathroom breaks. I welcome all house trained, non destructive dogs into my home. I have a fenced yard and can crate your dog if that is what your dog is used to . I don’t have a crate but you would be welcome to bring one over.
“Rae did an amazing job caring for Bella. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Her communication and attention to detail were the best that I have ever received. Thank you so much Rae for helping me with Bella!”
“We just loved Marisol and her personality. She video called me to get acquainted and to see Jaxon Avery and Bruce Willis. She was convenient to home, and was accommodating. She updated us with pictures and videos. My babies had such a good time. They are home now, and wore out! Thank you so much Marisol for taking good care of the babies ?”
About: I am currently a veterinary student at uiuc looking to watch dogs in the morning before class and in the afternoons/ evenings after class. Excited to meet you and your pet! Full time veterinary student. I would be able to take care of your pet before 7 am and after 5pm throughout the week days! Weekends are generally free. I can easily crate your dog if needed, go on walks, place a harness and observe the dogs while within the home. I am excited to give a lot of loving and attention to your pets.
About: Hi there, I’m Sierra! I currently reside in Champaign and work at a few daycare/boarding facilities here. I’m currently going to school to become a vet tech, so on top of having animal care experience I also have some vet med experience! I have two dogs of my own and spend everyday around all sorts of dogs, miniature to giant! I look forward to meeting you and taking great care of your pup! Pet care fits into my daily routine best in the morning since I go to work in the pm, but I work with animals every day and have a different schedule every day! If my schedule looks confusing or even if I have a day marked unavailable that you need pet care on, please reach out to me, I’m always willing to see if I can move anything around to accommodate! Pets will feel right at home here! I offer an unfenced area for them to run and potty as well as living not far from a dog park. I always make sure the dog is comfortable with me at all times and take the steps needed to gain and maintain their trust, I never want to stress the animals out in a new environment or in their own environment.
“Rachel took care of our dog, Autumn, for the week between Christmas and New Years. She was wonderful! Her home is a warm, comfortable, friendly place for any pet, and she took Autumn on long engaging walks, and even hiking in nearby state parks. She sent regular photos, with heartwarming and hilarious descriptions of how Autumn was getting along with the cats and chickens. Rachel was super communicative, and we are so grateful she was able to accommodate pick up and drop off on holidays - not many folks can/will do that. It means the world to have found a sitter like Rachel; we will definitely reach out to her the next time we travel without our pup!”
“They watched our dog while we were on a weeks vacation. I really appreciated the photos they sent and keeping me updated on how the stay was going. I'm very comfortable leaving our dog with them and will recommend to anyone else looking for a sitter.”
“Megan very good about sending photos and checking in through our puppy’s stay with her. She is. Very conscientious and Sophie was very comfortable with her. I would definitely request her again when I am in the area.”
“This was our second time boarding with Brittany, and we will be back! She takes the best pictures and gives us daily updates, and our pup was SO excited to see her when we dropped her off!”
“Chris was absolutely great! Thomas had an absolute blast! It was so nice to know he was in good hands and that I didn’t need to worry about him while away. Chris was flexible with pick up and drop off and periodically checked in. It was great! Will book again!”
“Wanyi was incredibly patient and caring. Even though it was just a one-day boarding, she sent me lots of thoughtful updates about my cat, which really put my mind at ease. You can truly feel her love and genuine care for animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet sitter!”
