About: I bring years of hands-on animal care experience from veterinary clinics, kennels, and long-term pet sitting, including special-needs care for a senior dog who requires diapers, hourly potty breaks, medication management, and a strict diet. My background in veterinary support and my 5-year commitment to caring for three dogs from one family means I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and fully comfortable supporting pets with complex routines. I treat every animal with patience, confidence, and genuine love, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because, with school wrapping up, I have plenty of time to focus on consistent, reliable visits. I plan my days around each pet’s needs, keeping feeding, walks, and medications on schedule while balancing a few prior commitments on set days. For the most part, I’m available daily, which allows me to offer flexible booking, dependable check-ins, and attentive pet-focused care that never feels rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly, keeping feeding, meds, and potty schedules consistent while maintaining a calm, clean environment. I provide gentle companionship, monitor behavior and health closely, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and reassured. My goal is to respect the home, reduce stress, and ensure every pet feels safe and understood.

“Mindy did an excellent job caring for my dogs. She was very communicative and handled my excitable pup really well. Both dogs were very happy.”

“Michelle took such wonderful care of our dog and cat while we were away on Christmas week. She took our high energy dog to the dog park to play, communicate regularly and was kind to our pets. We would gladly book Michelle again in the future.”

“Katie was so lovely! She was so patient with our pup, Moira, making sure she was comfortable w her and so kind w Mo! While we were gone for the week she took excellent care in keeping me informed w how Mo was.doign, sending pics, and making sure to reply quickly to any texts I sent checking in. She did a lovely job of keeping our house picked up and even offered to clean her bedding. All of this is to say that I will definitely be hiring Katie again and am so thankful I found someone I can trust and that Mo truly enjoys, to stay w her if my family and I go out of town for a short or extended stay. Thanks, Katie, for being so wonderful! I know Mo looks forward to seeing you again (and so do we!) in the future! ❤️”

About: I've taken care of my personal dogs and my cats over the years since I was 10. I've also cared for family pets, including babysitting, bathing, feeding, and caring for them. Ive even groomed my own dog. I do everything! I am currently on break, so I have loads of free time for your pet pals. They will be my top priority when they are in my care! Walks and sitting are enjoyable with me, I can train and easily keep it fun with your pet pals. I bathe, groom, and do so much more amongst other things!

“Communicated well and was always responsive! Went out of their way to grab extra supplies and take care of cleaning ☺️”

“Kimberly was great with my Lab Mix. She sent updates from their walks, and remembered specific details about Leroy and his habits. She also got him to walk with a harness, which I had not been able to do.”

“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: I’ve had both dogs and cats my entire life and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers relaxing on the couch, I’d be happy to keep them company and care for them while you’re away. I also have experience caring for cats, including my own. Whether your cat is playful and social or more independent, I can make sure they’re well cared for with fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and attention tailored to their personality. As a college student, I’m looking for a way to earn money while doing something I naturally love. I would truly appreciate the opportunity to care for your pet whenever you need an extra hand. I’m currently on summer break from my university and work part-time, leaving my days and evenings fairly free for check-ins or overnights. I provide care for pets in their own homes so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment while you’re away. During high school, I pet sat for both dogs and cats, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal schedule, including timely feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I also have no problem following specific instructions to make sure your pet receives the care they’re used to. When staying in a client’s homes, I make it a priority to respect the space, keep the home secure, and communicate regularly so you can feel confident that both your pet and home are being well cared for.

“Brittnee is an amazing dog sitter! She took such great care of our puppy fisher! Followed all instructions and even sent us go pro photo and video. Fisher was in great hands and got lots of love from her!”

“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.”

“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 :)”

“Cory was an excellent dog walker and sitter for Hugo. He communicated really well throughout, was attentive to Hugo’s needs, and took great care of him while we were travelling. We felt completely at ease knowing Hugo was in such good hands. We’d definitely recommend Cory and look forward to having him care for Hugo again in the future.”

“Outstanding communication! Kortney not only took excellent care of my dogs, but she also handled some unforeseen circumstances at the house ( water seeping in the basement, a power flicker). We'll definitely use her again!”

About: Hello! I've enjoyed working with animals for all of my life. I have lived in the Champaign area at various times over the past 10 years with my father. I have not had experience working on Rover before but I'm looking forward to helping pet owners in the area! I recently moved back from Japan, so I've been searching for temporary employment in the Champaign area before starting graduate school in the fall. I have time available during the day, evenings and on weekends to provide care for pets. I can follow instructions on what care you need for your pet! I am not able to offer care in my own home, but I'm happy to do what it takes to meet your needs.

“I'm so thankful fro Avery's thoughtful, communicative, loving care for Randy! She's responsible and clean.”
