Dog Walking Staley

“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.”

“Olivia did an awesome job with Lili! Lili was definitely apprehensive and nervous with a new person but Olivia was super accommodating for Lili and gave her the space she needed. She also gets in a long walk for Lili which helps since I’m at work all day! Thanks Olivia!! Grateful to have you to help with Lili every week :)”

“Avery helped me out with a last minute request for dog walking. She arrived a few minutes early each day, and my dog was so happy to see her. She is responsible and attentive to my dog, and I highly recommend her!”

“I was worried to leave my 2 year old Adonis for the first time in somebody’s care. But I came back to a happy/healthy puppy under Alicia’s care. I got detailed updates every day. I will not hesitate for a second to recommend her for anybody.”

About: I grew up with dogs and have house sat my brother's dog on numerous occasions throughout the time I've been in the Champaign area. I have also house sat cats for a friend back in Indiana. I have also house sat my parents' dog on numerous occasions. Walking dogs of various sizes is no trouble for me, and I honestly just love animals in general. I love to play with them, talk to them, and love on them as if they're my own if people let me! As of right now, I have plenty of time to play with your pets! Unless I have prior commitments, I am unlikely to refuse a request. I grew up with dogs, and I've house sat cats before, as I've mentioned.

About: My goal in life is to be your pets newest best friend. I have had experience with my very vocal and fat beagle that is 6. As well as a retired belgian malinois bomb dog that is 10. I can play fetch for hours, play games, or sit and cuddle a coach potato. I can be at your door anytime I do not have class at my flight school! I work part time at a coffee shop but my hours are very low because of school. I would really like pet sitting to be my job instead as I transition into this. I am attending a flight school to become a pilot. I am there just for a few hours a day through the week. But any chance I get I will pet sit! Since having experience with dogs and cats. I understand I am a visitor in THEIR home. I will make sure I do not intrude and make each visit a positive time. Walking, crating, potty breaks, a good cuddle and pet are all things I will do 100%. I also am at deep cleaning typical litter boxes, and can clean crates as well. If you have a fenced in yard I will play for hours. I love to walk dogs as long as they can be walked safely! Cats are pretty independent but I would love to come pay them attention!

About: I’ve been around pets for as long as I can remember, so I’m very familiar with their daily needs, routines, and behavior. I also have experience dog sitting, where I’ve helped with walking, feeding, and spending time with pets. I bring strong responsibility and attentiveness from working in both an elementary school and a retirement home through Greencroft Communities! These experiences taught me how to follow detailed instructions, stay patient, and provide consistent, caring support in structured environments. I apply the same level of reliability and attention when caring for pets, making sure they are safe, comfortable, and well looked after during walks and sitting visits. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and am available most days. I enjoy a long walk with dogs if needed but short walks are perfect too! Drop-ins and sitting visits are something I will adjust my time as needed to provide consistent and reliable care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and respect for the home environment. I follow all provided instructions closely, maintain the pet’s normal routine, and make sure they feel comfortable and secure. I stay attentive during visits and communicate with owners if anything changes or needs attention. I treat each pet as if they were my own and focus on making sure they feel comfortable, calm, and well cared for while their owner is away.

About: Greetings! First - thank you for considering me and my services. I have been a pet owner all my life, and have been the proud parent of hamsters, fish, cats, dogs, and a rabbit! I'm also a responsible house sitter, having been both a homeowner and a renter, I understand the value of not just your pets, but your possessions, your mail and plants, the cozy space of your home, the relationships with your neighbors. I have provided these services for friends and families for most of my life. I have always loved animals and I have always owned pets, been a member of dog parks and puppy play groups, and I volunteered for the Champaign Humane Society for many years. I have also had pets with medication needs, so I am experienced in that area. For years I also groomed my own dogs, and I know that each pet has its own needs, preferences, and personalities. Finally, I recently lost my dog of 15 years, and although I now live somewhere that does not allow pets, I need animals in my life! From my own experience of being a Rover customer for many years, I also know how important it is to pet sit within your home with no disruption to your pet's routine or surroundings. I'm retired, so I can be flexible with your scheduling needs for both your pets and your home. I'm both an early riser and a night owl, so whatever works for you also works for me! I have been both a renter and homeowner, so I know how valuable your pets are, but also your cozy home, your plants, mail, and relationships with your neighbors. I have owned a bunny, hamsters, cats and dogs. But I also have an affinity for birds and reptiles. I have provided services for friends and family most of my life, now I just want to bring in a bit of extra cash to supplement social security. I'm also mainly a homebody, so if your home or your pets need extra care or a lot of time, I'm fully available.

“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!”

“I’m so grateful to have found Sarah and to have her walking my dog when I have long work days. My senior dog has gotten even more finicky as she’s aged, and Sarah totally follows her lead on whether she wants a longer walk or some extra belly rubs each day, and Sarah keeps me posted on how Ava is doing during the day. It’s such a relief and gives me so much peace of mind!”

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with over 12 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether a playful pup, a senior dog with special needs, or a shy rescue, I take the time to understand and connect with each pet. I’ve worked in professional dog day cares, groomers, and veterinary clinics. I am comfortable with everything from high-energy play to gentle care for nervous or senior pets. I’m also experienced with a wide range of training styles and behavior types, and I adapt easily to your pet’s unique routine. Over the years, I’ve looked after the pets of friends and family many times, and I used to have a sweet Russian Blue cat of my own ( pictured in my profile!). I genuinely love caring for animals, and I’ve often been told I have a calm, natural way with them—and that people feel confident trusting me with their furry family members. Whether you need help with a dog, cat, puppy, or senior, I’m here to give them the same love, care, and attention I’d give my own. I strive to make scheduling easy and stress-free with a flexible calendar and open, reliable communication. Whether you’re planning ahead or need last-minute pet care, I’m happy to work around your schedule and ensure your pet’s needs always come first. I am dedicated to caring for your pet in their/your space. Reliable, attentive, and respectful, I treat every animal like family and keep you updated. References available upon request.

“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.”
