About: I’ve taken care of dogs for five years! This includes family members, neighbours, and my own. I’m here to lift some weight off your shoulders if your going on vacation, or you just need your dog walked and checked in on while your at work! I’m currently a student online so, I’m available 7 days a week to take care of your pup/pups! At your needs only! From playing, to walking, to feeding! I know accidents can happen but, I will always care for you animal/animals as I do my own! Even if your dog is stressed out and needs some play time!

“Masha has done a wonderful job walking our dog Ruby! She had a great meet and greet, and a great first week. Masha answers immediately, and follows all our requests. I receive great pictures from every walk. She clearly has a passion for animal care, and I am glad to have her to assist in taking care of our sweet furry family member.”


“Melissa has been dropping by to walk my dog Pepper for about a year now and I could not ask for a better experience!!! Pepper loves her and is always happy when I get home from work, and Melissa always takes time to play with her after their walk. Melissa is very responsive and easy to get ahold of. She is also usually able to squeeze us in if I book at the last minute. Overall I’ve had a very good, low stress experience!!!”


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.

“I had a great experience with this dog walker! They were incredibly kind and patient with my senior dog Max, who’s 11 years old and moves at his own pace. It was clear they really cared—after the walk, they made sure Max had water and was comfortable before leaving. I really appreciate the extra attention to detail and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and gentle with older dogs.”


“Abigail is very sweet and made the process easy with fast and consistent communication. My dogs took to her immediately during the meet and great and she has since taken my dogs on walks. Will definitely use her again.”


“Taylor is the absolute best! McGregor loved his walks with her. It is obvious that she has lots of experience taking care of dogs. I will definitely be requesting her help the next time I go out of town.”


About: I have had all kinds of pets since I was a kid. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, hamsters and bunnies. I see them as the family members. I’m currently working part time, so I am very flexible. I can do drop-in visits of 30min or more. I can work around your schedule. Im leaving in an apartment with my two lovely cats. I will be happy to do drop-in visits at your place for the safety of everyone.

About: Hi there, my name is Becky! I understand how hard it can be to find a reliable and trustworthy sitter or walker. I will be happy to help anyway I can. I have had cats all my life and have been pet sitting from a young age. Currently, my boyfriend and I share a dog named Marley and a cat named Simon. I enjoy taking Marley for walks and playing with her in our yard. I would love the chance to treat your pets like they are my own. Although I do have a full-time job, I can still offer plenty of hours for walks, drop ins, or overnight stays. I would love the chance to get to know your fur babies. I am available to check in, walk, play, or whatever you need. I am currently taking a break from working. I am a travel radiologic technologist and home for a break before starting a new contract. I can crate your dog if that is your preference or sleep with them on the couch or bed if they are used to cuddling with you at night.

“We needed help with our pup last minute and Misty was quick to respond and willing to work with our schedule. During the meet and greet I could tell she was very comfortable with animals as well as knowledgable. Overall Misty was amazing to work with and I felt at ease knowing our fur baby was in good hands.”


About: I've had alot of pets the most at one time is 8 I know almost all the dog breeds, I wanted to be a vet my whole childhood. it's a part of my everyday life I have 4 pets at the moment. I have 1 dog that I walk for 2.0 miles everyday, I have 2 cats which love attention they are always on my lap. I also have a bunny he is in a separate area and he loves forehead kiss and he loves to zoom around. I have a fenced in yard and 1 other dog that's is really energetic and friendly, 2 cats and a bunny they all do great together. my bunny is in a separate room most of the time. all are potty trained.

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!

About: Pre-vet student dedicated to providing quality to care to all of your fur babies. I have been pet sitting and dog walking for 8+ years, on top of being a veterinary assistant. I have experience caring for all animals including exercise and administering medications. I have experience with all ages, from 6-weeks to 16! I have a rescue german shepherd of my own, so I am also familiar with the more fearful babies. I put your pets need above anything else! I am working part-time as a veterinary assistant so I have multiple days a week that are open for pet care! I truly enjoy meeting and caring for new animals, and would love to fill up my off-days with caring for your pet. I currently don't offer boarding in my own home, but I can come to you and treat your babies as my own! I love seeing pets in the environment they are most comfortable, such as their own home. I provide compassionate care to your pets in and out of the house.

About: Pets make everything better. They are funny, know when you're sad or sick, and most of all, they are family. I have an amazing little peanut who I adopted from the Champaign County Humane Society when he was three months old and he is my everything! I'm a caring and loving person, and I will give your pets the affection and attention they deserve. I love going for walks even if it's raining or snowing!! I have a lot of experience watching dogs and just like people, pets unfortunately get sick too, and I know how to take care of them when they are. I also know what its like to have to leave your pets at home when you travel, it could be sad or kind of scary at times. In my past, I've stayed overnight at different houses, so rest assured when you're away I will take great care of your pets! My availability is super flexible. Im available 7 days a week, anytime. Unfortunately life happens, and I can be there anytime you need me. I can't wait to meet your furry friend. I do a lot of drop in visits and I'm very trustworthy. I promise you a safe experience when you book me through Rover and your loved pets will get the same care and attention that I give to my own baby boy!

About: I grew up with dogs in my home, they became apart of the family. I’ve had 7 dogs of many breeds throughout my life, so taking care of them has become second nature. I start my day pretty early at 5am. My job is flexible so I can accommodate puppies or older dogs that may need more frequent potty breaks. I have a 2 year old dog myself that loves to play with other dogs. All dogs are leashes before the door opens for walks for everyone’s safety.

About: I have been dog sitting since I was 11 years old. I have taken care of all kinds of dogs, all ages and sizes. I have always grown up with a dog, so taking care of one is like second nature to me. I have looked after puppies as well as senior dogs. I have potty trained puppies in less than 2 weeks. I have been responsible for walking, feeding, entertaining/playing, and bathing services. I am a University of Illinois Student who is currently working part-time over the summer, therefore I have a flexible schedule! As as student at the University of Illinois, I have taken multiple courses in Animal Science, including Companion Animals in Society, Science of Pets and Their Care, and World Animal Resources. I walk my dog Arlo in the morning before work, and will do the same with pets that are under my care. I live on a lake and I do not have a fenced in yard, but I will walk them often. I will walk your pets around the neighborhood which you live if I am caring for them at your house. My 4 year old Husky/German Shepherd mix loves other dogs and is very friendly. My dog does not require a crate, however if that is something that your dog needs, I can accommodate! If I am watching your pets at my house, I will require proof of vaccinations to keep my dog safe as well!

About: My family has had a rescue dog since she was a puppy and is now a senior dog. I have had my own 2 shelter dogs living with me full time for over 2 years so I have been exposed to dealing with separation anxiety and many different reactions. I know I will be able to exceed your pets needs and provide lots of love and attention! I am currently working full time, in office M-F so my availability is mostly weekends. Our household has 2 young dogs so after work I will take them on a run daily for their high energy. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat on a few acres of land so they are very active outside. I used to live in an apartment and would exercise my 3 year old lab retriever for about 2 hours a day! I love playing fetch and games with our animals and am excited to entertain your pets!
