“Theresa and Scott were absolutely amazing I would let them watch Colby anytime! They really treated Colby like one of their own and I know he made tons of new friends with all their pups!! They sent tons of pictures and videos! I would recommend anyone that needs animal care to get hold of them!!”

“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!”

“Christina and Tomb took really good care of Cookies when I had to travel for a weekend. Christina sent me regular updates and pictures of the both of them playing and was very helpful throughout the process. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a dog sitter in the Champaign-Urbana area.”

About: Hi! My name is Marissa. I’ve been caring for dogs for 11 years—starting with puppies at age 14. I have experience with all ages, including senior dogs needing extra patience, comfort, and medications. I’m reliable, gentle, and treat every dog like family. Whether it’s playful walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, your pup will be safe, loved, and well-cared for with me! I also have experience in feeding, handling and caring for bearded dragons. I’m a part-time hairstylist with a flexible schedule! I’m available for overnight care after 4 PM Tuesday–Saturday, and fully open on Sundays and Mondays (my weekend). I can also occasionally fit in midday walks, drop-ins, or medication visits between appointments during the week—just reach out to check! Your pet’s care always comes first. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with no other animals in the home—perfect for pets who need one-on-one attention. I understand how much your furry family member means to you, especially after recently losing my own beloved dog. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care I gave my own, ensuring they feel safe, secure, and right at home. I also have a pet car seat and stroller holding up to 30lbs to ensure the most comfortably and safety for your fur baby.

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.

About: I have lived and worked with dogs most of my life. I pay close attention to the instructions of pet parents and place great emphasis on fluid communication with the dogs and cats with whom I have the privilege to work. I meet every animal where they are, treating each with respect and dignity. I’m reliable, clear, calm, knowledgeable and adaptable. I currently work remotely as director and training supervisor of a small nonprofit service dog training agency. This allows for quite a bit of flexibility in scheduling. I always prioritize the safety of the animals I care for, along with consistency, respect and compassion. Whether in a client’s home or outdoors, I create routines tailored to the wishes of each client and their pets, always maintaining environmental awareness and ensuring pets are comfortable and secure. My goal is always to provide professional, dependable care that supports both the pet’s well-being and the client’s peace of mind.

About: I have been a pet owner for 35 years and worked with companion animals for 26 years. I have a Bachelor's degree in Animal Sciences and an currently finishing my PhD. My experiences also include working as a veterinary assistant for 5 years and a kennel technician and assistant groomer for 15 years. I have also been doing in-home pet care for 17 years, but slowed down during my graduate studies. I have experience raising and training puppies, providing neonatal puppy care, and am very familiar with senior pet care. I have fostered dogs and cats, including several with behavioral issues. I am currently finishing my PhD and have a flexible schedule between course and office work. I also split time working from home and the office, allowing me to care for and spend with clients' pets. I have a fully fenced yard, but due to my sweet 16 years old dachshund and two silly cats, will be limited on bringing pets to my home. I am able to visit pet in their own homes where they are most comfortable, but will consider bringing calm dogs to my home.

“Katie took good care of our little Yorkie! She checked in with a photo right way which we really appreciated. We’re going to have her watch him again in a couple weeks!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats (and a couple smaller critters here and there) since childhood and understand that pets are family. I currently have four small rescue dogs at home and am active in dog sitting for local friends and rescues. I know how it feels to leave your loved ones in someone else’s care, and I will do everything I can to give you peace of mind and make your fur babies as comfortable and happy as possible. My schedule is flexible, and I’ll do my best to work with you around my full-time day job. I’m generally free in the evenings and on weekends, so keep me in mind if you need a night away but want company for your furry housemates. I am happy to stay with your pets overnight and can also make time for daytime check-ins/walks as needed. Be sure to check out my holiday availability as well! Your pet’s safety is my priority! I like to chat with you and meet your pet(s) before any scheduled bookings so we’re both on the same page about your instructions and expectations. I also value clear and frequent communication. (That includes pictures and updates of your loved ones while in my care!) I respect your home as my own and will leave it as clean, secure and maintained as I found it. If you have any house quirks or special instructions, just let me know. For boarding and daycare services (in my home), we ask that all dogs be spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, and taking monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention. We typically do not host pets from multiple households at the same time, but please let me know if you have more than one dog for boarding/daycare and I’ll get you a quote. For the safety of our pets and yours, we are not able to host large dogs, cats or (human) children in our home, but I’m happy to come to yours!

We have a big basement to play in and a yard with a fence. We also have a crate, doggy bed, and a ton of treats and toys!

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10. My family has always had dogs in our home in Argentina and made sure street dogs were fed, and in good health. I'm currently a middle school teacher in the area and I love enjoying my free time with animals 💕. I will make sure your furry loved one is well taken care of while you are away. I will take care of your furry family member as if he or she was mine. I genuinely hope that you feel comfortable and happy with my service.
