House Sitting in Thomasboro

“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: Raised on a cattle farm in Texas, I’ve taken care of a multitude of animals. Cows, horses, rabbits, dogs, and cats. I believe respect is the number one aspect when caring for our friends. Through my experiences I’ve learned to read and understand animals to make sure they are always as comfortable and happy as can be. I love listening to them and giving them the best care, no animal who crosses my path will ever be misunderstood. Pet care is already engrained into my daily life, it would be a blessing to help. Meeting your best friends will bring a light to my day. With three cats, they all get equal but enormous servings of love. Supervised time on the patio, lots of play time, exercise and snuggles. I like to create an enrichment activity for them every other day to keep things interesting. My orange tabby gets his inhaler twice a day, morning and night. All cats get a dry breakfast, and then a wet dinner. Brushes and litter changes daily!

“Sarah is a great sitter and we are so thankful for her support! We have two old babies and sadly got the news one of them would need to be put down the following week. She spoiled him, sent lots of pictures and even left a very sweet personalized note with her condolences. It really gave us peace of mind to have someone so thoughtful stay with them when we were really not wanting to leave. She gave meds, played with them and they took to her quickly. Will definitely rebook! ❤️”

“Madeline did so great taking care of our pups! I came home to a clean home and a happy dogs. Made me feel so comfortable being away and not worrying!”

“I have used Rover several times throughout my dog’s 10 years and have NEVER seen her warm up (and calm down) to someone the way she did with Milo, which speaks volumes about how Milo handles animals with care and compassion. We came home to two very content animals after being away for a couple of nights and booking at the last minute, and Milo was also super respectful of our home. I would definitely recommend, and I know Milo is going to make an amazing vet tech!”

“Abigail was great, we appreciated the updates and pictures while we were away. She communicated well and took good care of our sweet girl (13 year old dog). We will book again :)”

“Melissa is fantastic! She is so conscientious and kind. She took such good care of my chihuahua and bunnies. I look forward to booking her for all my house sitting needs!”

About: Hi there, I’m Sierra! I currently reside in Champaign and work at a few daycare/boarding facilities here. I’m currently going to school to become a vet tech, so on top of having animal care experience I also have some vet med experience! I have two dogs of my own and spend everyday around all sorts of dogs, miniature to giant! I look forward to meeting you and taking great care of your pup! Pet care fits into my daily routine best in the morning since I go to work in the pm, but I work with animals every day and have a different schedule every day! Pets will feel right at home here! I offer an unfenced area for them to run and potty as well as living not far from a dog park. I always make sure the dog is comfortable with me at all times, I never want to stress the animals out in a new environment or in their own environment.

“Emily did an amazing job, we will definitely be using Emily in the future!”

“Patrick housesat and watched our dog and kitten over the Christmas holidays. He sent us daily photos and prompt messages. On very short notice he was able to stay an extra night due to our travel delays. We would definitely schedule again for any future pet sitting 😊”

“Bri did a great job housesitting. Our boy is strong and she did a good job handling him on walks. She left the house in better shape than it was when she got there.”

“Alyssa was amazing! She checked in on Bailey throughout the day and was extremely accommodating around our flights! Bailey was able to socialize with her 2 dogs; who are very well behaved & trained! I never felt worried or like my animals were in any harm! She followed feeding schedules and potty breaks. My home was well taken care of as well as all three of my animals. The pictures of them made my son so excited to come home! We definitely will be booking with Alyssa again. We seriously cannot thank her enough for everything 🫶🏻”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters? I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s a slow walk for an older pup or high-energy playtime for a young one, I meet animals where they are. I have two dogs of my own—Theo and Sage—so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. Beyond personal experience, I have a BA in animal science and I’m currently in the process of earning my master’s degree in Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication, with a focus on companion animals. I also work as an assistant educator, so I bring a calm, thoughtful approach to every visit. I’m confident administering medications, caring for nervous or senior pets, and yes—I genuinely don’t mind deep-cleaning litter boxes. I treat every animal like family, with patience, care, and a whole lot of love I’m currently working mostly remote with few days in the classroom as a Teacher assistant. Whether it’s morning walks, meal times, or evening play sessions, I’m used to planning my day around pets’ needs. I live in a three-story townhouse with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable—whether they want to play or have their own quiet area. My own dogs are super friendly, but I can easily keep pets separate if needed. I also have some dog training experience, so I’m confident handling different temperaments and routines. Your pet will be safe, loved, and well cared for here or in your home!

“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”

About: I've lived with and taken care of dogs for 11 years! I love all dogs and animals in general. I'll treat your pet like family, and they will be my number 1 priority while I'm taking care of them. I'll be doing a research assistantship at UIUC over the summer with 8-10 hours per week committed to that. This won't take up the majority of my time, so I'll have more than enough to take care of your wonderful pets! I'll treat your pets just as well as I treat mine. They'll get whatever care they need and plenty of extra love on top of that! I treat my client's home extremely well and make sure to clean up after myself. I take pride in keeping a clean living environment for myself and for my pets. I'll be sure to leave the house just as clean as when you left, and I'll be sure to give plenty of love and care to your pet as well!

“Kim was incredible. She took great care of my Gracie. Loved the updates she supplied. I would recommend Kim to sit for anyone. Thank you Kim!”

“Lorri is always so patient with our very anxious and timid pup when we go away. She takes great care of our home and provides frequent updates for peace of mind. We will always check Lorri’s availability first!”

About: I’ve worked as a veterinary nurse for 10 years and have worked with every size, age and energy level of dog and cat. I’m well versed in walking, bathing, potty training, and mind enrichment exercises, as well as multiple behavioral and medical conditions. I love caring for animals and have 2 cats and a dog, Siberian Husky, who needs a lot of activity and are spoiled daily. I know how to give medication, if needed, and how to deal with emergency situations. I can send pictures and videos daily to keep you updated. Your beloved furry family members will be well taken care of! I am available most days for the summer and can do morning, afternoon, and evening care. You can message me for further questions about scheduling. Let me know your pets daily routine they are used to, so I can stick as closely as possible to it to help them keep as much normalcy to their days as possible.

“Oso enjoyed having Fallon over and she was consistently checking in with me to see how Oso was doing and was super accommodating on such short notice! I highly recommend her for house sitting and walks! Oso loved her and I’ll be using her services in the future!”
