House Sitting in Urbana

“Queenie was phenomenal with my dog while I was out of town for a week. Excellent communication with tons of photos and videos throughout. I know that my dog had a wonderful time, and would definitely re-book with her! Highly recommend.”

Olivia B.

“Rachel was great with our puppy Digby, despite him being a pest when she came over :) Rachel is prompt, was cleaning up messes proactively, and was overall terrific. Recommend anytime.”

Christopher F.

“Nicole was very responsive and good about managing the details of this stay. I have an energetic little troublemaker kitten who I was nervous about leaving for the first time but I was able to enjoy my trip and return home to a happy cat!”

Caroline C.

“Sophie was fantastic with our dogs! Not only was she available on such short notice which we very much appreciate, she is so good with our pets!”

Emma S.

“Katie didn't skip a beat when we left town sort-of last minute. She took great care of the home and our fur squad. I would recommend her for anyone with pets of any size and age, as ours range from pup to senior and K9 to feline.”

Kristen F.

“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.”

Dawn C.

“Cory was very responsive and attentive to our dog and cat while we were away. He asked lots of good questions, had some good suggestions for our very energetic dogs and we felt confident that the animals were in good hands.”

Dawn C.

“Kimberly is great! She keeps in touch and sends awesome pics of my Dog, so I always felt connected to her! She was very loving and caring towards my dog and goes the extra mile! I have booked her several times!”

Casey M.

“Was extremely kind and diligent and took the best care of pepper. I gave Mia a bafflingly long list of random instructions and she followed them to a tee and handled everything well. So so trustworthy. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”

Sulaimaan K.

“Nina was great with my three energetic dogs. I appreciated the pictures and regular updates. They seem healthy and happy and I hope to book her again.”

Benjamin L.

“Madeline took the best care of our pups while we went away for the weekend. We even had an incident that happened with our husky where we found a cyst that was infected right before we left and he had to take 5 medications and she didn’t mind following all my notes and giving him his meds twice a day. It was overwhelming to me, but Madeline handled it with ease:) she sent us pics daily and I’m already looking to book her again in the near future. Thanks Madeline!”

Elaine D.

“I have used Addison twice now and will continue to use her in the future! She kept my dogs exercised and happy. When I returned home they exhibited no stress! She kept in great communication if anything happened and sent pictures throughout the week so I could tell they were having fun!! And she left my house as clean or even cleaner than when she got there! I highly recommend her.”

Karen R.

“Mindy is a good communicator and a reliable sitter. She always leaves my house as good (or better) than I leave it, and my pets are happy and content when I get home. 10 out of 10, would recommend!”

About: I grew with my dogs ( Husky and Shizu) and kitty (Luna). I am obsessed with them! They passed away of age when I was in college and miss them dearly. I am unable to have a pet of my own due to my apartment regulations so looking to fill my heart by helping you care for your furry children! I would like to spend more time outdoors after school so dog walking would be an amazing way to jump start that goal! After noon walks would be amazing. I also work from home some days so being able to take walk your pet for my breaks would be relaxing for me. I make sure I have the proper tools I need to keep the dog healthy and safe. That means carrying poop bags, bowls, water bottles, treats that can nourish your pet while on its walk.

“Jenna took great care and consideration of our sweet (yet anxious) pup! Knowing our home and dog were well taken care of while we were traveling, receiving helpful communication and sweet photos, helped put our minds at ease. Jenna has great experience with anxious/reactive to pups. We felt very secure leaving pup and home in her hands. We're looking forward to booking Jenna the next time we have a need!”

Lindsey B.

“Oso enjoyed having Fallon over and she was consistently checking in with me to see how Oso was doing and was super accommodating on such short notice! I highly recommend her for house sitting and walks! Oso loved her and I’ll be using her services in the future!”

“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.”

Magic W.

“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: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. From playful puppies to older dogs who need a gentler touch, I’m comfortable with all personalities and energy levels. For the past two years, I’ve also house sat for my neighbors’ cats, making sure they’re well-fed, loved, and given plenty of attention while their owners are away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping pets company, I make sure they feel safe, cared for, and at home. I’m home for the holidays, so I’m free to dedicate my days to taking care of your furry family members! I love walking (even if it’s cold out) and playing with pets. I am very attentive and hands-on with pets. I am able to detect when animals are uncomfortable. I also have experience administering medicine for pets!

“Amy was the most fantastic “aunty/nanny” to our fur babies, Wednesday the puggle and Mittens the chonky kitty!! Amy was able to meet with us a few days prior to sitting for us, so she could meet our “children” and we could become comfortable with her. She won me over by making a point to greet them by name!!! Then she even messaged me with a follow-up suggestion based on a discussion we had at our meeting. Amy arrived timely and cheerfully on our departure day .. making a point once again to greet the furries warmly by name. And even though Wednesday greeted Amy with enthusiasm again by jumping up on her, Amy took it in stride and with patience. Amy stayed overnight until the following evening, and had no problem giving medication to Wednesday that night. She kept in contact with me throughout the weekend by sending updates on our furries’ behavior and multiple photos, which was such a comfort!!!! We couldn’t have been more grateful!! This was our first time using Rover.com after some suggestions from family and we have only high praise for the company AND Amy!!! I’d absolutely recommend Amy for watching your “kids” .. whether for a few hours or several days!!!! We will definitely be using her services again!! :) THANK YOU, Amy!!!”
