“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!”
“Jennifer was absolutely fantastic! She took amazing care of my two dogs and my cat, Josie — who is usually wary of new people but warmed up to her immediately. Throughout my time away, she kept me updated with photos and videos, and even let me know about their eating habits, bathroom habits, and overall happiness. It was clear she genuinely cared for them, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. I would absolutely book with Jennifer again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet and house sitter.”
“Chace kept our very active and needy Huskies well cared for and engaged. He kept us updated with text messages and did a great job cleaning up (even though he was told not to worry about it) the mud that they consistently track in. The house and the dogs were well cared for and we already have plans to book him again.”
About: Hi! My name is Marissa. I’ve been caring for dogs for 11 years—starting with puppies at age 14. I have experience with all ages, including senior dogs needing extra patience, comfort, and medications. I’m reliable, gentle, and treat every dog like family. Whether it’s playful walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, your pup will be safe, loved, and well-cared for with me! I also have experience in feeding, handling and caring for bearded dragons. I’m a part-time hairstylist with a flexible schedule! I’m available for overnight care after 4 PM Tuesday–Saturday, and fully open on Sundays and Mondays (my weekend). I can also occasionally fit in midday walks, drop-ins, or medication visits between appointments during the week—just reach out to check! Your pet’s care always comes first. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with no other animals in the home—perfect for pets who need one-on-one attention. I understand how much your furry family member means to you, especially after recently losing my own beloved dog. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care I gave my own, ensuring they feel safe, secure, and right at home. I also have a pet car seat and stroller holding up to 30lbs to ensure the most comfortably and safety for your fur baby.

“Megan was wonderful with our two dogs and we would definitely use her services again! She sent pictures throughout her stay and kept us updated. We are confident that our dogs were much more comfortable and less anxious staying at home with Megan, than being boarded.”

“Communication lines were open, many pictures were sent, and I cannot thank her enough for her flexibility when our flight plans got thrown for a little loop!! Would 100% book again!”

About: My name is Alli, I live in Champaign, and I’ve done pet and house sitting for a little over 4 years now. I’ve house sat for family and family friends with cats and dogs, a fish, and even a hampered! I really enjoy it and am excited to expand my interest and help out more people. I think I would be the perfect fit for your family! I’m tidy, responsible, caring, and punctual! For your animals I can take them on walks, and give them all the lovin’ they'll need while their humans are gone! I think house sitting is great because the animals can feel comfortable in their own house and now have to be in an unfamiliar place while their owners are gone! I’m currently looking for summer work while applying to jobs! I have full availability to be in the home and with the pets while you’re gone!

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including walking, feeding, and giving plenty of attention and love. I’ve also helped neighbors by dog-sitting and walking their pups when needed. I’m patient, reliable, and excited to care for your furry family member! I trained my dog Beau from puppyhood, so I’m familiar with basic commands, house training, and patience needed for young dogs. I’m also comfortable providing gentle care for senior dogs, including help with medication and slower-paced walks. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. On weekdays, I’m available early mornings (5:00–6:30 a.m.) and evenings after 4:30 p.m. I have mostly open availability on weekends and can provide flexible care then. I live in an apartment, so dogs in my care get regular walks and lots of attention. I walk my own dog, Beau, daily and often take him to the dog park for exercise and enrichment. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to help pets feel safe and secure. I respect their space, follow all instructions, and make sure pets are comfortable and cared for. I’m always mindful of leash safety, locked doors, and keeping a calm, pet-friendly environment. Owners can trust that I’ll treat their pets and homes with the same care I give my own.
