“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!”
“It was my first time leaving my 8-year-old lab with Feiran and I couldn't have been more pleased. Feiran sent me so many amazing photos of Bailey on walks and smiling and she was always super quick to respond to my texts and messages. Feiran is extremely flexible and so sweet to our girl - I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again for our Bailey!”
“Kellie was wonderful! She was thoughtful and asked all the right questions to make sure she could give my dog Jersey the best care possible. I'll definitely be looking to Kellie for my future pet-sitting needs!”
“My dogs had a great time staying at Meghan’s house. She sent me several pictures and communicated with me very well. I highly recommend Meghan and I will be calling her again to watch my dogs.”
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.
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.
“Caitlin is the absolute best!!! We left Miles with her while we were gone away for the week, she was so very attentive and wonderful! We got pictures of Miles the entire time we were gone! She intuitively knows dogs and what they need and I trust her 100%!!! She knew what Miles needed to help him feel safe and comfortable even though he is a nervous pup I know he felt loved and cared for while we were gone! Caitlin is AMAZING!!!!!”
“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.”
“Rae was great! I know G was well taken care of making a stress free weekend for us! Rae was extremely helpful with the whole process as it was out first time leaving G. I received many photos throughout the stay which was extra helpful!”
“Always trust Lainey with my girl! She has taken care of her as she has grown up and has gotten to know my puppy so well! My dog gets to go on vacation when she boards with her!”
“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!”
“I can’t recommend Rachel enough! She took incredible care of my dog while I was away for a couple of weeks. He got plenty of exercise with walks, trips to the river, and adventures in the forest preserves. She even treated him to an ice cream after a long, fun day in the sun! Her communication was top notch, she sent frequent updates with details about his day and tons of great pictures that gave me total peace of mind. It was clear she treated him like one of her own. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, she’s the one!”
“Lauren and family took great care of our energetic lab puppy again (this was our dog's second stay with Lauren and we will for sure book her again!). Our dog is so happy at drop off, I know she has a great time at Lauren's. Lauren is so fast and prompt with communication, we really appreciate it! Thank you! :)”
“Gabby was the perfect sitter for my cat Mia! She sent regular updates including lots of photos. I felt very comfortable leaving Mia in Gabby’s care and would not hesitate to use again!”
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! *Please see the last photo in my gallery that shows pricing and policies!* 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.
“Definitely would recommend Christiana for watching my baby boy again. Communication was great and in a timely manner and we were comfortable with her from the first meet and greet! Our puppy was well taken care of.”

As he aged she was able to modify her schedule and home to take care of all his needs.

Sarah F.
“Sarah would be an amazing pet caregiver because she is one of the most responsible and caring people I know. She works harder than anyone else I've ever met and she gives everything she does 110%. Sarah has an amazing ability to multitask and knows how to manage her time and priorities. She is currently in vet school and has a lot of experience working hands on with animals of all kinds. She cares so much for animals and I know she would take extra care for the animals she is responsible for.”
