House Sitting in Tomlinson

“Kylie was amazing, checked in every day, suffered through a storm with my big, wimp of a beast dog and my house was spotless when I got home. Highly recommended, but I’d like to save her for myself.”

Stephanie N.

“Megan was super kind and responsive. My pup seemed to be loved well!”

Tyler M.

“Marissa was a great sitter for our Kai dog. She sent pictures daily and Kai ate great with her. The house was clean when we returned and Kai was well taken care of. We’d be happy to have her sit for us again :)”

About: Hello! My name is Sam, and I’ve loved animals for as long as I’ve been able to walk and talk. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats so caring for a wide range of animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’m currently earning my degree in Animal Science at the U of I, with plans to pursue either veterinary school or a career in animal conservation or animal control. I’ve wanted to join Rover ever since I was little and watched my aunt run a mini daycare out of her home. Since then, I’ve pet‑sat for neighbors, family friends, and anyone who needed an extra hand with their pets. This summer, I’m interning at the Vermillion County Animal Shelter to continue building hands‑on experience. I’ve also worked as a Cat Care Volunteer at the Champaign PetSmart, where I helped with daily care, cleaning, and socialization. I’m excited to bring my experience, reliability, and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for! I'm currently working a part-time internship so I have plenty of free time for your fur-babies on weekends (all day) and weekdays (before 11 and after 3)! I care for pets by following their normal routines, keeping their space clean, ensuring safety, and providing consistent attention, exercise, and monitoring so they stay comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away.

“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”

“Carli took amazing care of our dogs and cat. She was very flexible with us given the somewhat short notice of our request, very good at staying in touch, and sent plenty of pictures of the kids! They loved having her over to keep them company. We would happily recommend her services and will definitely be coming to her first in the future!”

About: I have had family dogs since I was born and have been one of the primary care takers of them. I just graduated college and I am living at home for the summer. I would love to take care of other dogs before getting one of my own! I am currently living with my parents before moving to Chicago in August. I currently am not working until I move, so I have a very flexible schedule! My dogs are the center of our world at home. I take them on multiple walks throughout the day, and always ensure they are getting all of their needs met.

“Michelle was great with our dog, Duke. This is the second time she watched him, and he was SO excited to see her! Unfortunately, our address wasn't updated in Rover and so she had to go across town out of her way first before coming to the correct address. Despite our inconveniencing her, she was still willing to stay a little late if we needed her to. We really appreciated her patience with both US and with Duke :)”

About: Hi! I’m Sophia, a dependable and caring animal lover with years of experience providing attentive care and creating safe, positive environments. I love staying active, so whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or just extra cuddles, I’m happy to make them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure owners stay updated for peace of mind! I am currently home for the summer and work part time every once in a while so am pretty free for over night stays, drop ins or walks. I care for pets in their own home by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and lots of attention. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while keeping owners updated with photos and messages.

About: I grew up raising dogs, both taking care of the family pets as well as raising puppies for my grandmother repeatedly. I also have a little experience in dog training I have open availability for all of my services for the foreseeable future. Your pet will be one of my highest priorities and I can't wait to meet all of them :)8 In a clients home I am respectful of the space that’s there. I find it easier to deal with pets in an environment that is familiar to them as they seem more at ease that way. I do my best to follow any routine an animal has to keep the animal calm and to make sure they receive proper care

About: Experience with dog care especially with walking and boarding. I have also worked at a dog daycare center where I was able to know about pet hygiene and cleaning. I am working part time. I can work mostly on evenings and late afternoons during the week and a full schedule for weekends. I can also be flexible with my schedule as needed I make sure to have a clean apartment for the pets. I do not have a yard but we have an open space for pets to roam freely

About: Three years volunteering at animals shelters and caring for the animals including walks, exercise, cleaning and training of dogs, cats and rats. One year in school for veterinary medicine caring for various animals and in charge of cleaning, sanitation and care for all animals boarded at the school. Can pet sit, walk, train and provide other necessary care for your beloved pet of any kind on any day of the week. I am here for your furry loved ones like I am here for my own. Love and trust are things we must build in our relationships with our furry babies. No different than with people. Through many years of experience having pets and caring for them in various institutions, I have no problem with hard work and patience when it comes to the customized care for each individual pet.

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.

About: I have more than two decades with dogs and cats, both owning, walking, basic training, blind and deaf. I have a poop removal service for years. Additionally, I have almost a decade of efficient skill sets with farm pets, pigs, cows, horses, fowl, etc. Currently want to be of service where needed. I am available for early morning walks or visits, play dates, park trips. Available to continue pursuing my goals. I have four years of military experience and a keen eye for my surroundings, knowing the city and surrounding areas well, a safe and efficient walk/visit/play time is always promised.

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 full time until 3pm. However 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 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! I do ask that your pet be crate trained and doesn't bark in the crate since I do live very close to neighbors.
