Dog Sitting Urbana

“I am a DogVacay host and we have trusted and relied on Feiran for help when we get too busy. She is a very kind and reliable person who loves dogs and understands their nature.”

About: Hi! I’m an 18-year-old student living right here in the area, and I’ve been a proud dog owner for years. Because I’ve taken care of my own dog firsthand, I truly understand how important it is to keep pets safe, happy, and well-exercised. I’m responsible, active, and excited to help look after your furry family members! What I Offer: Reliable Walks: Energetic, engaging walks to help your dog burn off steam and enjoy the neighborhood. Drop-In Visits: Friendly check-ins for feeding, fresh water, playtime, and potty breaks. Safe & Flexible: I have my own reliable transportation and a flexible schedule around my classes, making it easy to fit into your routine. I treat every dog with the exact same care and love I give my own. I can't wait to meet you and your pup! Mondays & Fridays: Fully open and available all day. Tuesdays & Thursdays: Available starting at 11:30 AM onward (class until 11:00 AM). Wednesdays: Available starting at 3:15 PM onward (class until 2:50 PM). Weekends (Saturday & Sunday): Fully open and available for walks and visits! Secure Handling: I am extremely cautious with leashes, doors, and gates to ensure your dog is always safe and secure. Clean & Respectful: I always clean up messes, make sure water bowls are freshly filled, and lock up securely when leaving your home. Open Communication: I provide quick updates and cute photos during every visit so you always know your pet is happy and well-cared for.

“Kenzie is a superb cat sitter. She was very responsible, highly reliable, and very kind to our furry family member. She not only administered his graduated medication correctly but also successfully befriended our very shy and skittish cat. We felt that she treated our cat as if he were her own cat. Because of this, we were at ease that our cat was being taken care of very well during our vacation. We highly recommend her and will definitely be using her excellent services in the future.”

“Zoey took great care of our cat (who loved her) and was very attentive to the instructions we left her. She sent lots of photos during drop-ins, and even went above and beyond by watering our plants and bringing in mail (which included a hefty Chewy package). Would definitely recommend!”

“Abby is awesome! First meet and greet was great. She is very friendly & patient with my senior pups!”

Francesca I.

“Thank you for your help! It’s so nice to know my nervous dogs can be a little more comfortable when we’re gone by staying in their own home. Would definitely book again!”

About: Thank you for considering Pet Care by Amy! You get what you pay for with me. My rates are set so that I can focus on your pets during your booked time. I am huge on communication and will do my best to meet your pets’ needs and routine while you’re away. I respect the amount of trust that comes with leaving part of your family—and maybe your home—in my care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ve had dogs and cats (and a couple smaller critters here and there) since childhood and understand that pets are family. I currently have four small rescue dogs at home and am active in dog sitting for local friends and rescues. I know how it feels to leave your loved ones in someone else’s care, and I will do everything I can to give you peace of mind and make your fur babies as comfortable and happy as possible. My schedule is flexible, and I’ll do my best to work with you around my full-time day job. I’m generally free in the evenings and on weekends, so keep me in mind if you need a night away but want company for your furry housemates. I am happy to stay with your pets overnight and can also make time for daytime check-ins/walks as needed. Be sure to check out my holiday availability as well! Specific service notes: • PETSITTING/HOUSE SITTING (in your home): Defined as 10-12 hours overnight plus a minimum of 1-2 drop-in visits during the day with 1-2 photo and text updates per 24-hour period, depending on request times. Nightly rates include these services for up to two pets in the home. I will spend additional time with your pet(s) when I can, but in order to best accommodate clients and my general work and life responsibilities, please consider these the minimum expectations for a housesitting booking. It's important to communicate your pet's schedule and any special needs they may have related to timing so I can make sure they are as comfortable as possible. If your pet needs 24/7 care (aka constant care), please send me a message to discuss a quote. • DROP-IN VISITS and DOG WALKING (your home/neighborhood): Photo and text updates for these services are in the form of Rover Cards, which you can view in your Rover account. Booked time is based on arrival and departure to your home. (For example, if you book a 30-minute walk, that will include entering the home, leashing/unleashing and any other in-home tasks needed in addition to the walk itself.) • BOARDING and DAYCARE (in my home): I have set myself to "away" for these services to better accommodate the majority of my clients who request services outside my home rather than splitting time in and out. If you are interested in boarding or daycare for specific dates, please send me a message! Your pet’s safety is my priority! I am fully insured and pet first aid certified. I like to chat with you and meet your pet(s) before any scheduled bookings so we’re both on the same page about your instructions and expectations. I also value clear and frequent communication. (That includes pictures and updates of your loved ones while in my care!) I respect your home as my own and will leave it as clean, secure and maintained as I found it. If you have any house quirks or special instructions, just let me know. I can also give you a quote for cleaning or small projects while you’re away—let’s chat and make your experience as productive as possible! For boarding and daycare services (in my home), we ask that all dogs be spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, and taking monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention. We typically do not host pets from multiple households at the same time, but please let me know if you have more than one dog for boarding/daycare and I’ll get you a quote. For the safety of our pets and yours, we are not able to host large dogs, cats or (human) children in our home, but I’m happy to come to yours! My husband is my “sidekick” in all things pet care. He generally handles our crew at home while I’m at a booking but may join me at initial Meet & Greets, on walks or bring meals to me during overnights. He maintains all the same standards as I do—and has the same clean background check as well—but I will always be your primary pet caregiver. 😉 If for any reason you prefer that he not interact with your pet or home, please let me know.

“Jacob was able to fulfill my last minute request for my dogs. We had a meet and greet and both dogs loved him instantly! We would definitely use his help again. Highly recommended:)”

About: I have been taking care of my own and others dogs since I was around 8 years old. I really enjoy spending time with and caring for pets. I have also shortly volunteered at a few animal shelters in the past. I am a full time student at UIUC and pet care fits into my weekly schedule as my job and passion whenever I can be of service. In my own home I have a safe environment and a large fenced yard. I prioritize safety and happiness for the pet and satisfaction for the owner.

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: Hi, I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience providing drop-in care, and I’d love to help care for your furry family members. Cats are my specialty! I have over a decade of experience caring for cats with all kinds of personalities and needs, including anxious cats and cats who require extra care and patience. I’m comfortable administering daily medications, cleaning up vomit, setting up and maintaining indoor pee pads, and accommodating other medical or behavioral needs. I also have a cat of my own with medical and behavioral needs, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust to provide attentive, compassionate care. Whether your cat is shy and needs space, a little spicy and slow to warm up, or a social butterfly who wants constant attention, I’m happy to meet them where they are! I love playing with cats, cuddling with them, and caring for kittens, too. I love dogs just as much! I have experience walking large dogs, including a Great Dane I cared for while nannying for a family. My responsibilities included daily walks and meal prepping his food, so I’m comfortable following specific feeding routines and making sure your dog gets the care and attention they need. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just having someone around to keep them company, I’m happy to help. I know that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and needs, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your routines and instructions closely, and I understand how much peace of mind it brings to know your pets are in good hands. I’m generally available for pet care on weekends, early mornings, and evenings. I may also be able to accommodate additional drop-in visits on specific weekdays with advance notice, depending on my schedule. I have increased availability during holiday and school breaks, including Thanksgiving, winter break, and spring break, making me a great option if you’re traveling and need someone to care for your pets while you’re away! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their usual routines. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication administration, and any special accommodations for medical or behavioral needs. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe and minimizing stress, especially for anxious or shy animals. I respect each pet’s boundaries, allow them to warm up to me at their own pace, and prioritize their comfort and well-being. I also take care to keep the home secure, follow instructions for entering and locking up, and ensure pets remain safely indoors or supervised as appropriate. I treat every home with the same respect I would want someone to show my own, and I communicate with owners to provide updates and peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I'm new to the pet sitting world but I make up my lack of experience with enthusiasm! I have had fish and dogs before and too cats to count. I have experience researching and taking care of these animals for my self and am happy to offer that help to whoever needs it :). I am a college student so I would be looking for part time/one time jobs during the school year but full time during the summer. I hope I can meet your furry friend soon! I let the pet sniff me and warm up to me while also giving them space. Having a stranger in your home can be disorienting so I understand the sudden anxiety.

“Kimberly was a great cat sitter! She was enthusiastic and flexible to work with. I would definitely consider using her again if I need another drop-in sitter.”

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and have always loved walking them. I am very reliable when taking care of your pups and will love to play, walk, feed, or bathe your pets! I just moved to Champaign in August of 2026 to go to school at Parkland college for dental hygiene. I only have classes 3 days a week. Tues and Wednesday: 8am-4pm Thurs: 9am-10am and 1:30p- 3:20p I have an hour break between each class on Tues and Wed, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pups! I do want to mention since I just moved here, so I’d prefer to stay overnight at my own place and come back first thing in the morning. However, I’m also happy to stay overnight if you prefer! When I lived with my family I had two sweet golden doodles. Now, my cat is staying with me. I am always giving him love and playing with him

“Emma's been coming to our home a few days a week to let my two puppies out. She's been great. She's super professional and our puppies seem happy too! Highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve always had dogs of my own. Currently, I have two older dachshunds both 13 years old and a 7 year old husky mix. A lot of my experience with specialized pet care comes from +3 years from working in animal care in animal shelters, clinics, and boarding facilities. I’m working part-time, however it changes every week so I’ll have to update my schedule weekly. On my days off, I plan to incorporate walks and check in’s into my weekly schedule. If taking care of your pets in your home, I will be very caring and cautious. I will take care if them how I want others to care for my own. I like to make “puzzles” for my dogs with treats to stimulate them.

“Incredible experience for our pets, we will absolutely use Kelsey in the future.”

About: I have been around dogs since I was born and have helped to care for them since I was deemed old enough. I worked with trainers and behaviorist and studied to know more about them. Dogs will always be my favorite animal even though I love all. I am a Certified Veterinary Technician and I want to help owners who have special needs pets or elderly that need medication. They can trust that I know how to help and care for their pet while they are away. I can do visits in the morning and evening and most afternoons. I will go to client homes to care for pets. They will get fed, time to go outside to potty, and quality hooman play time.

About: I’ve been pet sitting dogs for a long time. It started with trusting family members to family friends needing help while they are on vacation. I always have a pet sitting gig at least once a month, so I’m comfortable with everything that comes with dog sitting: giving medicine, walking, feeding, accommodating routines, etc. I have a part time job and I am attending school. My mornings are free as well as my afternoons anytime after 11:30am. I always make time to make sure I take out the pets when needed or communicate when I can’t. I am always willing to stay over to make things easier. I have a dog myself, and I always walk him at least once a day. I follow the routine that we have made for him to make sure he feels safe and comfortable. When I’m taking care of a client’s pet, I make sure I follow whatever guidelines the client gave me, as well as making sure the pets remain comfortable while they are in my care.

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.
