About: Hello! I’m a cat mom, but I love pups too! Animals are family, and I’ll treat yours as such. From toe beans to their little noses, they (and you) need peace of mind while you’re gone! I love to send photo and video to pet parents while they are away so they know their pet is getting the best care possible. I work full time, but I am happy to visit pets in the evenings! My weekends are more flexible, and I will happily stay overnight to watch pets on weekends if need be. I’m just a gal on a mission to pay for college, and this is a great way to do it! In my client’s home, I will make sure to abide by the animal’s physical and dietary restrictions as given by the owner. From there, I just make sure they get plenty of snuggles and playtime to keep them active and stimulated. This can include games of fetch for dogs, laser pointers or stick toys for cats, etc.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was young. There was once a time where I was taking care of 4 dogs at the same time in my household. I’m a lover to all furry and non furry friends, your doggo will be in safe hands. I’m currently working a part time (of 3 years in caregiving) and full time job, hoping to quit the full time job to focus more on work life balance instead of just work. Once I get more pets to sit I will be able to say goodbye to the full time job I’ll be able to spend more time with your pets! I’m very respectful of others and their property. I do ask a lot of questions when getting started just so I don’t cross any boundaries. I do like to help to clean up as well so if there’s a mess that was or wasn’t made by your furry friend I’ll clean it right up.
“Michelle is wonderful. She’s very aware of any and all changes with my cats and spends quality time with them to make them feel comfortable. She also goes above and beyond to help them feel settled with the stress of me being gone”
About: I’ve worked as a veterinary nurse for 10 years and have worked with every size, age and energy level of dog and cat. I’m well versed in walking, bathing, potty training, and mind enrichment exercises, as well as multiple behavioral and medical conditions. I love caring for animals and have 2 cats and a dog, Siberian Husky, who needs a lot of activity and are spoiled daily. I know how to give medication, if needed, and how to deal with emergency situations. I can send pictures and videos daily to keep you updated. Your beloved furry family members will be well taken care of! I am available most days for the summer and can do morning, afternoon, and evening care. You can message me for further questions about scheduling. Let me know your pets daily routine they are used to, so I can stick as closely as possible to it to help them keep as much normalcy to their days as possible.
“Valerie was amazing with Whiskey! She was very attentive, kind, and kept us updated with lots of pictures and messages which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Whiskey was well cared for and loved. We highly recommend Valerie!”
“Kylie is amazing!! This is our second time booking with her and we will definitely use her again! She even went an extra visit cause we have some naughty cats which we were so so grateful for!”
“Zoey took great care of our cat (who loved her) and was very attentive to the instructions we left her. She sent lots of photos during drop-ins, and even went above and beyond by watering our plants and bringing in mail (which included a hefty Chewy package). Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve owned both cats and dogs from a young age. I also have previously worked at a boarding and grooming facility, and have volunteered at local humane societies. I am currently part-time and have extensive availability. Just make sure to check with me about extended house visits or reoccurring appointments, and I will let you know my schedule ahead of time! I have experience with many different temperaments of pets and can accommodate to whatever the needs of the pet or the owner, just let me know in advance!
“Katie came to our home for the first time today to let our dogs out to potty, get treats and play for a bit. She arrived on time, communicated well with me while she was with them and sent me pics of each of our fur babies. I will definitely call on her again!”
“Misty responded very quick. Elle is not one to be very tolerant of anyone, however, although Elle was a little skittish, she wasn't actively harassing Misty. She was even able to walk Elle. Definitely will request Misty first next time I need someone to check on my dogs. She definitely gets my recommendation!”
About: I have lived with dogs and cats my whole life since I was born with the dogs ranging in sizes from Chihuahuas to Rottweilers. I have volunteered at 2 different animal shelters since I was 15 years old as well as fostered both cats and dogs. I have experience in training young pets from working with my own over the years I work a flexible part-time schedule, meaning I am only away for a few hours at a time during the week. My schedule is completely open on weekends for boarding. Your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks! I live in a spacious apartment within a secure, gated community surrounded by walking trails. My home is a quiet, low-stress environment with just me and my roommate. As a professional caregiver for humans, I am highly experienced in following specific routine instructions and will treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect.
About: Greetings! First - thank you for considering me and my services. I have been a pet owner all my life, and have been the proud parent of hamsters, fish, cats, dogs, and a rabbit! I'm also a responsible house sitter, having been both a homeowner and a renter, I understand the value of not just your pets, but your possessions, your mail and plants, the cozy space of your home, the relationships with your neighbors. I have provided these services for friends and families for most of my life. I have always loved animals and I have always owned pets, been a member of dog parks and puppy play groups, and I volunteered for the Champaign Humane Society for many years. I have also had pets with medication needs, so I am experienced in that area. For years I also groomed my own dogs, and I know that each pet has its own needs, preferences, and personalities. Finally, I recently lost my dog of 15 years, and although I now live somewhere that does not allow pets, I need animals in my life! From my own experience of being a Rover customer for many years, I also know how important it is to pet sit within your home with no disruption to your pet's routine or surroundings. I'm retired, so I can be flexible with your scheduling needs for both your pets and your home. I'm both an early riser and a night owl, so whatever works for you also works for me! I have been both a renter and homeowner, so I know how valuable your pets are, but also your cozy home, your plants, mail, and relationships with your neighbors. I have owned a bunny, hamsters, cats and dogs. But I also have an affinity for birds and reptiles. I have provided services for friends and family most of my life, now I just want to bring in a bit of extra cash to supplement social security. I'm also mainly a homebody, so if your home or your pets need extra care or a lot of time, I'm fully available.
“I needed care for my pets while we went out of town. I found Makinzee on Rover, and she took our older dog in for more attentive care, and visited the house once a day to check on our more self reliant animals. She did a great job, and Id definitely book her again!”
“We love that we can count on Grace to take such great care of our dog Bucky. She is responsible, reliable, great with communication, and goes above and beyond to make sure Bucky is taken care of before leaving. Thanks again Grace!”

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rantoul. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
