Dog Walking Staley

“Katherine is a reliable dog walker who is very responsive to messages. She takes great care of my dog and always sends great pictures.”

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I once had dreams of being a vet and spent two summers as an intern at a vet clinic, but learned quickly that that is not necessarily the career to choose just because you love animals, haha. That being said, I love both dogs and cats and have been a volunteer at animal shelters since 2017. I currently have a sweet but shy 6 year old cat named Rhiannon. I work remotely on weekdays, so I am home throughout the day for companionship and frequent potty breaks, if needed. I love to go on evening walks in my local park as well. I live in a single family home with an unfenced yard, but any bathroom breaks would be under my full watch and care. I have one sweet but shy cat, but she has her own room if your pet is not okay with other animals.

“Masha is the best dog walker. Would recommend her service to anyone and any pet. She went above and beyond beyond for us. Very thankful to have had her take care of our pup.”

“Aratrika was great! I have a semi-shy rescue Shih-Tzu and he seemed to really like her. She was on time, accommodating, and super friendly. Took my guy for a walk, which went well, and they played fetch in the yard. I will absolutely use her again for walks and let-outs and play time! She seems to really enjoy taking care of dogs and I'm looking forward to mine getting to know her better.”

“As first time users of the Rover site, we were lucky to connect with Amber. She’s experienced, professional, & friendly. She quickly got to know our Finley, taking him on awesome walks for 10 days.”

“Lauren was so thoughtful and considerate, both about the little details that can sometimes change week to week and about taking great care of Mary. Even before we met it was clear from the first conversations that she was always thinking about Mary’s needs - and it really showed in the quality of care!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was 10, my own included. I have been pet sitting for neighbors ever since I was 10. I am a graduate student so my hours during the day and night are largely flexible. I am usually completely free during the weekend. I can usually adapt to the routine and pet needs I live in a pet friendly apartment with outdoor yard space. I am very active and love to take dogs on the walks/runs and/or to nearby parks.

“Ashley has been very dependable. Our Cavalier Riley loves her!”

About: I feel comfortable with dogs of any size, breed, or age. I am glad to follow any special instructions you give and do my best to keep your pets safe and as comfy as possible. I like to communicate or send pics while you're away so you can feel assured your pets are being well cared for. I have fostered many dogs (and adopted a few), so have experience with an array of personalities. I'm looking forward to meeting your pet family too. As I have multiple dogs, I know it can get quite expensive to hire a sitter and am happy to negotiate price in that situation. I work from 8 to 4:30 or 5, weekdays. Im happy to attend to your pets before and after work, in the evening and overnight, lunch breaks as well if needed. I prefer to "sitt" in your home in order to help keep them as comfy and on the same routine as possible. I believe in following the care instructions of the parents to a tee. I will give your fur babies lots of love and send you pics or videos if you'd like. I am trustworthy and dependable.

About: Thank you for considering Pet Care by Amy! You get what you pay for with me. My rates are set so that I can focus on your pets during your booked time. I am huge on communication and will do my best to meet your pets’ needs and routine while you’re away. I respect the amount of trust that comes with leaving part of your family—and maybe your home—in my care, and I take that responsibility seriously. 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! Specific service notes: • PETSITTING/HOUSE SITTING (in your home): Defined as 10-12 hours overnight plus a minimum of 1-2 drop-in visits during the day with 1-2 photo and text updates per 24-hour period, depending on request times. Nightly rates include these services for up to two pets in the home. I will spend additional time with your pet(s) when I can, but in order to best accommodate clients and my general work and life responsibilities, please consider these the minimum expectations for a housesitting booking. It's important to communicate your pet's schedule and any special needs they may have related to timing so I can make sure they are as comfortable as possible. If your pet needs 24/7 care (aka constant care), please send me a message to discuss a quote. • DROP-IN VISITS and DOG WALKING (your home/neighborhood): Photo and text updates for these services are in the form of Rover Cards, which you can view in your Rover account. Booked time is based on arrival and departure to your home. (For example, if you book a 30-minute walk, that will include entering the home, leashing/unleashing and any other in-home tasks needed in addition to the walk itself.) • BOARDING and DAYCARE (in my home): I have set myself to "away" for these services to better accommodate the majority of my clients who request services outside my home rather than splitting time in and out. If you are interested in boarding or daycare for specific dates, please send me a message! Your pet’s safety is my priority! I am fully insured and pet first aid certified. 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. I can also give you a quote for cleaning or small projects while you’re away—let’s chat and make your experience as productive as possible! 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! My husband is my “sidekick” in all things pet care. He generally handles our crew at home while I’m at a booking but may join me at initial Meet & Greets, on walks or bring meals to me during overnights. He maintains all the same standards as I do—and has the same clean background check as well—but I will always be your primary pet caregiver. 😉 If for any reason you prefer that he not interact with your pet or home, please let me know.

“What a fantastic experience, Megan and Eric took good care of our baby while we were out of town. Our girl took to them instantly. They gave us daily pictures and you could tell our girl was having a blast. Would highly recommend!”

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and have always loved walking them. I am very reliable when taking care of your pups and will love to play, walk, feed, or bathe your pets! I just moved to Champaign in August of 2026 to go to school at Parkland college for dental hygiene. I only have classes 3 days a week. Tues and Wednesday: 8am-4pm Thurs: 9am-10am and 1:30p- 3:20p I have an hour break between each class on Tues and Wed, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pups! I do want to mention since I just moved here, so I’d prefer to stay overnight at my own place and come back first thing in the morning. However, I’m also happy to stay overnight if you prefer! When I lived with my family I had two sweet golden doodles. Now, my cat is staying with me. I am always giving him love and playing with him

“Lydia was awesome! Right on time, great communication (this is the first time we've booked Lynda) and our dog LOVED her. Highly recommend!”

I do my best to make sure your pet is at ease and has fun while you are away. I live near a lake and trails that make for some great walking. If your pet needs to be in a kennel while sleeping that is no problem, otherwise they are welcome on the furniture like my own pets are. My dog is very friendly, non-dominant, and loves having a buddy to romp around with. The cat will ignore them.

About: One of my earliest memories was at the age of five. My mom brought my sister home from the hospital after she was born and I asked, "Can we have a kitten instead?!" Our parents started us with goldfish like most do. We then graduated to hamsters, followed by kittens. Currently, I have two dogs of my own that I consider to be my fur babies. Our pets can be much like our children, so I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to provide the care your animals need. My experience with animals comes from having my own as well as taking care of friends and family members pets as well. I love animals so much, I paint them on canvas as another passion of mine. I am looking forward to caring for your pet and providing whatever special needs they may have in order to make you and your animal feel comfortable while you are away. I work from home as an Artist so my schedule is flexible in between appointments outside of the home. I am unavailable Tuesday nights after 5pm. Looking forward to do whatever I need to stick to your pet's routine to keep them stress free, happy and healthy. Whether they enjoy long walks, active play or just snuggles and pets I would love to accommodate whatever their needs may be.

About: Veterinary student, veterinary assistant in Champaign, veterinary ER experience, personal animals my whole life including dogs of all age, size, and disposition. Passionate about making lifelong client and pet relationships in this community! I am enjoying my final summer before my third and fourth years of veterinary school, and have availability 7 days a week. I prefer staying with the pets I am sitting, but drop ins work for me as well. I have experience with all kinds of dogs in all stages of their life. Each dog has their own individual needs that you know best, and the better I know your pup the more I can tailor my visits. I love playing with puppies to tire them out, and have equal love for older pets, even those with special care needs.
