House Sitting in Sidney

“Mindy was so sweet and kind! My dog who usually is aloof and takes some time to warm up to people instantly was going up to her and wanting attention! I know my babies got lots of loving while I was gone.”

“Phenomenal. Took wonderful care of my special needs dog, I had no concerns about his well being. And she went above and beyond caring for our home. She is defiently going to be a regular on our roster!”

“Michelle was great with our dog, Duke. This is the second time she watched him, and he was SO excited to see her! Unfortunately, our address wasn't updated in Rover and so she had to go across town out of her way first before coming to the correct address. Despite our inconveniencing her, she was still willing to stay a little late if we needed her to. We really appreciated her patience with both US and with Duke :)”

About: I bring years of hands-on animal care experience from veterinary clinics, kennels, and long-term pet sitting, including special-needs care for a senior dog who requires diapers, hourly potty breaks, medication management, and a strict diet. My background in veterinary support and my 5-year commitment to caring for three dogs from one family means I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and fully comfortable supporting pets with complex routines. I treat every animal with patience, confidence, and genuine love, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because, with school wrapping up, I have plenty of time to focus on consistent, reliable visits. I plan my days around each pet’s needs, keeping feeding, walks, and medications on schedule while balancing a few prior commitments on set days. For the most part, I’m available daily, which allows me to offer flexible booking, dependable check-ins, and attentive pet-focused care that never feels rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly, keeping feeding, meds, and potty schedules consistent while maintaining a calm, clean environment. I provide gentle companionship, monitor behavior and health closely, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and reassured. My goal is to respect the home, reduce stress, and ensure every pet feels safe and understood.

“Emma house sitted for us for a couple of days and took care of our pug Cookie. Emma was very communicative and thoughtful of Cookie’s needs and respectful of our home. She sent lots of pictures and updates to keep us informed while we were away. We definitely look forward to using her services in the future. Thank you Emma!”

“Marissa was a great sitter for our Kai dog. She sent pictures daily and Kai ate great with her. The house was clean when we returned and Kai was well taken care of. We’d be happy to have her sit for us again :)”

Tasha S.

“Kortney followed our instructions and sent us updates as requested. I felt comfortable leaving my cats with her and I’m sure they loved her! I would definitely use her services again when needed”

Mia R.

“Carli took amazing care of our dogs and cat. She was very flexible with us given the somewhat short notice of our request, very good at staying in touch, and sent plenty of pictures of the kids! They loved having her over to keep them company. We would happily recommend her services and will definitely be coming to her first in the future!”

“Kylie was amazing, checked in every day, suffered through a storm with my big, wimp of a beast dog and my house was spotless when I got home. Highly recommended, but I’d like to save her for myself.”

About: Hello! My name is Sam, and I’ve loved animals for as long as I’ve been able to walk and talk. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats so caring for a wide range of animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’m currently earning my degree in Animal Science at the U of I, with plans to pursue either veterinary school or a career in animal conservation or animal control. I’ve wanted to join Rover ever since I was little and watched my aunt run a mini daycare out of her home. Since then, I’ve pet‑sat for neighbors, family friends, and anyone who needed an extra hand with their pets. This summer, I’m interning at the Vermillion County Animal Shelter to continue building hands‑on experience. I’ve also worked as a Cat Care Volunteer at the Champaign PetSmart, where I helped with daily care, cleaning, and socialization. I’m excited to bring my experience, reliability, and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for! I'm currently working a part-time internship so I have plenty of free time for your fur-babies on weekends (all day) and weekdays (before 11 and after 3)! I care for pets by following their normal routines, keeping their space clean, ensuring safety, and providing consistent attention, exercise, and monitoring so they stay comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away.

“Brayden was very professional and communicated well through out the stay. He even brought in some packages that were delivered without being asked. The dogs seemed happy and healthy when we returned.”

Melissa F.

“Heather was an amazing dog and house sitter for our 3 pups. The communication was outstanding and she kept us well informed. Thanks again!!!”

Sarah K.

“Zoey is fantastic! She was great with our dogs as evidenced by the regular text and picture updates she sends. She was also a lifesaver by being flexible and extending her pet care services when our travel plans home fell apart and got significantly delayed. 10/10 ⭐️ and would definitely recommend Zoey!”

Matthew H.

“Ashley was absolutely fabulous taking care of my Old English Sheepdog Whimzy while I was away in France for almost 2 weeks. I hope to have her take care of Whimzy again soon. Highly recommend!”

About: I have experience pet-sitting dogs from spry puppies to gentle giants and everything in between! I have been tasked with playtime, feeding time, and check-ins during the day. I'm currently working part-time, so I will be available for services before 1 pm and after 4 pm during weekdays and all day on the weekends. I have experience walking larger dogs and managing older dog's needs when exercising as well as maintaining a calm environment for anxious and/or older pets.

About: I have over 25 years of experience with dogs of my own, specifically larger dogs, and have also helped take care of many friend’s and family member’s dogs over the years. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds, buts especially big ones, and I also have a knack for walk training and socializing with dogs that may have problems with them. Right now my schedule is pretty open or flexible, with a little notice I can fit into your schedule short term or on a regular basis. I will always give any animal in my care the attention, exercise and love they need and will always talk with all clients ahead of time to make sure their pets are taken care of properly by someone they can trust with their loved ones.

“Rebecca was amazing with our King. She knew his favorite was bananas and she shared those with him. Getting the daily updates with pictures was amazing. She was very thorough when we met and asked all kinds of great questions. We will definitely use her again. I know King is going to miss her.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with 20+ years of dog care experience and a special place in my heart for both dogs and cats. I currently share my home with two English bulldogs, so I know all about the extra care and love our furry friends need. I’ve attended professional dog training and behavioral training, so I’m confident handling pups with different personalities and needs. I’m also experienced in administering medications and even shots, so you can feel at ease knowing your pet’s health is in safe hands. Whether it’s puzzles, playtime, cuddles, or specialized care, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. 🐶🐱 I’d love the chance to meet your fur baby and give them the best care while you’re away! Because I work from home and create my own hours, I can easily make pets a priority. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or evening check-ins, I have the freedom to give them the attention they deserve. Caring for pets in someone’s home is a responsibility I take seriously. I’ve completed behavioral and training classes, know how to safely administer medicine and injections, and have experience working with pets that struggle with anxiety or aggression. This background allows me to provide safe, reliable care while building trust.

About: Ive been around dogs a lot. I have 3 of my own. One named Hope. She’s more active, and needs alot of playtime. So I’m definitely good at managing that. One name is Oakley, he likes to be babied and cuddled. Ones name is Hank, and he is just the chillest dog haha. I already have dogs so I work 24/7 with my own. I have a lot of time on my hands so I’m free whenever. Anytime you just need a break I can come help, when you’re gone. I’ll do it. I give baths, I walk them, I play ball/fetch with them. I take them potty, feed them, give them treats. I do all the things it takes to take care of a dog, the same way you would treat a baby.
