“Boba was very well taken care of and I felt very comfortable with entrusting Boba under their care! I received multiple updates and all my needs and worries were accommodated for! I would definitely recommend them!!”
“So glad Feiran could accommodate our last minute request for this last stay- thanks to her flexibility we were able to squeeze in an extra stay for Foxxy. The best part was that our dog made a new friend and we got tons of pictures that showed us our hosts not just boarded, but truly cared for Foxxy and made her part of their family. Couldn't have been better!”
“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!!”
“Caitlin was a great boarding host! We left our 1 year old mix Ursa with her for a week; it was our first time leaving our pup for a vacation and she helped ease our fears! You could tell she knew what she was doing; she had her own meet & greet, notes, and sent multiple updates and pictures while we were gone. Will definitely rebook whenever we're out of town :)”
“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.”
“My pup was well-cared for during his visit. I received updates from Jamie which included pictures. Overall, very satisfied with Jamie and Rover.com.”
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.
“Serena took great care of our elderly dog. She helped make him comfortable and sent pictures every so often. I won't hesitate to rebook with her.”
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.

“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.”
