Katie was wonderful with our very funny and particular pup. We received lots of notes and pictures. She even gave us notes on our plants and home. When we returned, our house was the same as when we left. Our dog must have thought they were great too because now they keep looking out for them.

Tanya provided exceptional care for our cat and two dogs while staying over a long holiday weekend in our home. She asked excellent questions during our "meet and greet," so when it came time for us to leave our animals we knew they were in good hands. She arrived to house sit early afternoon on Friday and left late on Monday to accommodate our travel schedule. Our animals each have particular needs and personality quirks. For instance, we have one high energy dog that requires oral medication, frequent potty breaks, and long walks. Our other dog is content sleeping all day and needs to be convinced to take short walks! Plus, the energetic dog will eat the lazy dog's food if given the opportunity, so we feed them separately. Then, our cat is low maintenance, but still needs food, water, affection, and to have her box cleaned daily. Finally, the dogs wake up at 5am for breakfast (whether we're awake or not). Caring for the three of them is a lot of work and Tanya did a great job attending to their needs! We came home from vacation to happy, heathy pets and a clean house. We could not have asked for a better pet sitter. I highly recommend Tanya and would absolutely employ her services again.

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.

About: Hello! I've enjoyed working with animals for all of my life. I have lived in the Champaign area at various times over the past 10 years with my father. I have not had experience working on Rover before but I'm looking forward to helping pet owners in the area! I recently moved back from Japan, so I've been searching for temporary employment in the Champaign area before starting graduate school in the fall. I have time available during the day, evenings and on weekends to provide care for pets. I can follow instructions on what care you need for your pet! I am not able to offer care in my own home, but I'm happy to do what it takes to meet your needs.

Mish was great with my cat Dilly for a two week house sit! This was the first time I’ve left him for longer than a weekend, and I knew he’d be in good hands after meeting. They sent lots of photos and updates, and my apartment was well taken care of, too. Thanks again!

We had the pleasure of having Jocelyn care for our three cats while we were away at a music festival, and couldn't be happier with her service. From the moment we met her, she was incredibly kind and attentive to our pets' needs. Throughout our time away, Jocelyn kept us updated with numerous pictures of our cats eating and hanging out with her. These updates were so comforting and made us feel at ease knowing our babies were in great hands. One of our cats has asthma and requires an inhaler, which was a concern for us. Jocelyn was fantastic about giving us detailed updates on how he was taking his medication, which reassured us immensely. Even when we didn't have cell service, we felt completely at ease knowing Jocelyn was taking such excellent care of our pets. Her dedication and love for animals shine through in every interaction. We highly recommend Jocelyn to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet-sitter. She went above and beyond to ensyre our cats were happy and well-cared for, and we are incredibly grateful for her help.

Melissa did great with our girls. One doesn't have a care in the world, but the other is reactive and takes a very long time to trust someone. Melissa stayed patient with her and even had to change her walking plan with them, but Layla warmed up at the end. I didn't worry anymore then I normally would about them with her. She sent pictures, when there was a tornado warning, she did all the right things and messaged us about it. She kept us updated all week. We are booking her for more stays over the next few months already even before we even got back from our trip!
