“David is extremely reliable and professional. Always punctual, he left incredibly detailed notes after every visit as well as photos. He became best buddy with Copper. I strongly recommend him.”

“You’re the best!! I love your detailed and heartfelt messages about the pet visits and how you genuinely seem to enjoy their personalities as much as I do <3 Thanks for taking care of my girls while I was gone, it’s been a long trip, and I felt so much better knowing you were the one with them!”
“This is the second time we have had Misty cat sit for us while we’re away for vacation. She has been so amazing and loving to our Kitty. Definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!!”
About: I have had both dogs and cats my entire life and don't want to be without them ! My Husky Sharpei mix, Lily passed away in 2021 after 16 years of a long healthy life. It was a hard loss, so I started spending time with other people's pets and decided to turn it into a career. Through the years of petsitting i have learned alot about different animal personalities and i have gained experience with different levels of care. Some of the pets i have watched suffered from high separation anxiety, and have special needs. I have experience giving diabetic shots, administering oral medication, and topical oitments on cats and dogs. I have experience with extended stays, my longest so far being a month. I also have experience watching multiple dogs and cats. I have watched reactive dogs in the past and I am comfortable doing so if i know their triggers. I’m currently offering full time pet care, so I will have open availability to take care of your pets (: I am also willing to travel within a 40 mile radius to pet sit. Once your gone I pretty much resume your role, while pet care is a priority I still clean up after myself so you won't have to worry about coming into a messy home. Cats and dogs love to cuddle with me on the couch, so they will get plenty of attention hanging out with me.
“Although our drop-in visits were cut short due to our vacation plans falling through, Jenna was lovely and went above and beyond taking care of our cat Luna- even bringing in one of our packages since we were away! I wholeheartedly recommend her & will definitely look to her first for any future cat-sitting :)”
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.
