Top rated Urbana doggy day care sitters
“Annadel and Jose were great hosts! My dog had a great time and I received videos of her playing as well as updates. They were also responded quickly to messages. I highly recommend and would certainly use them in the future.”

“If I could give Feiran 10 stars I would. My boyfriend and I went to Europe for almost 2 weeks and our normal sitter wasn't available. I was a little nervous with the length of time with a new sitter and how our dog who has lots of energy would adjust. Needless to say, since his doggy vacay I have brought him back for daycare! He LOVED it and Feiran and her husband sent me 5-10 pics/videos a day. They absolutely care about the dogs they watch and it was so comforting while being away. He had tons of play time and they take them for hikes and walks at least twice a day. Highly recommend!”
“Rae took our pup on Thanksgiving day, and we had a great experience! She was very responsive and flexible, sent numerous adorable picture and video updates throughout the day, and made sure he got plenty of walks! Our dog, who can be anxious around new people, seemed to really enjoy his time at Rae’s house! Highly recommend Rae!”
“Caitlin is AMAZING!!!! She went above and beyond to make sure our shy 4 mo old pup felt welcome and loved in her home! She took him on multiple walks while he was there and even had him on a walk right before we arrived so he would have pottied when we got there for our drive home!!! She sent me so many pictures throughout the day of all the fun things he was doing and cuddles he was receiving! She was so thorough on pup’s report card letting us know how many times he went potty, when he ate, and how long the walks were! I could go on and on about how amazing she is! I would leave my pup with her in a heart beat and we will be going back!!!! Thank you Caitlin! ❤️❤️❤️”

About: Hi, I’m Jess and I’m a pharmacist who LOVES animals! I grew up with a bichon frisé named Oscar who I had from 5 years old until I was 21. I also grew up with a beautiful Siberian cat named Beau. I love both cats and dogs, and when my sister and I moved out for college, we adopted two cats named Milly and Darcy. I recently moved back to Champaign and sadly lost the cats in the divorce, so I’m looking to petsit some lovely furbabies so I don’t go crazy!! I recently returned to Champaign and am currently not working, so I have plenty of time to incorporate pet care into my weekly routine! I am very flexible. I have a large backyard, but it is not fenced in, so I would need to take all dogs out on a leash. I am very active and live right near a park, and would love to go on long walks with your dog! I am a very trustworthy person, and I love enriching animals’ lives, so you can definitely trust me to give your pet the best staycation or vacation!
“Abri and Justin are amazing. They’re flexible, have fast response times and take such great care of Sadie - my 1.5 year-old, very energetic, rescue hound mix. Sadie spends one day a week with Abri, Justin, and their two dogs and always sleeps soundly on the car ride home. Every week, Abri takes the time to write up a summary of Sadie’s day and shares photos. I love knowing that Sadie is safe and having fun while I’m in the office.”

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.

About: I adopted Hanson, a retired guide dog, and he’s now an angel in heaven. He showed me how deep the bond with a dog can be and is the reason I started caring for pets. Over the years, I’ve looked after many dogs for friends and family. I give them lots of love and attention, and every pet I’ve cared for has grown really close to me. I treat each one like they’re my own. Pet care is part of my everyday life. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just spending quality time with them, caring for animals is something I naturally make time for. It’s not just a task—it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to each day. I live alone, so pets get my full attention and a quiet, calm space to relax in. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable—whether that’s sticking to their routine, giving lots of playtime and cuddles, or just being nearby so they don’t feel alone. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow any instructions closely to keep things familiar for their pet.
