“Samantha is a very nice person. I am very lucky that found her to walk my dog Chico on a very short notice! She is very friendly and respectful. Chico gets very excited to see her! Thank you Samantha!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. I love animals. I find it an honor for someone to trust me with their furry friends. I work as a free lancer so I’m available most days from 8am-6pm. I can stay the night if needed and am happy to sit over the weekend. When visiting a clients home I make sure that I do what I came there to do and not too much more! I make sure to clean up after pets and leave the way I found it.
“Grace was great with our energetic puppy Darcy. He was anxious to meet someone new, but she calmed him down with treats and pets. She was very communicative and arrived right on time. Would definitely recommend her as a dog walker!”

About: Welcome , we care for your dogs like family! My love of dogs come from growing up with more than 5 dogs at a time in my childhood home back in the Philippines. So, I am used to having and being around multiple dogs at a time. Your pets would be in a loving and caring home where we treat your pets as part of the family. I’m currently working from home. I take my dog on long walks during my lunch break and we would love some company during the day and on our walks. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I live across a dog park and a community park where I take my dog to play with her favorite ball and to run around.
About: We’re a dog-loving family with a dog of our own, and caring for animals is part of our everyday life. We treat every dog like one of ours, with attention, playtime, and plenty of affection. Your dog won’t just be supervised, they’ll be cared for and welcomed as part of our pack! We have a large, fully fenced, flat backyard ~ the perfect adventure space for your furbabies! With one of us working from home and the other a teacher, our home runs in a relaxed and organized way. Dogs get regular walks, outdoor time, play, and plenty of interaction throughout the day. We keep things predictable enough for dogs to feel comfortable, and flexible enough to meet their individual needs. We value your dog’s safety and comfort. Our home features a spacious fenced yard for fun play and exercise. We’re attentive to each dog’s needs, energy level, and boundaries, and we take time to ensure everyone feels comfortable. When caring for pets in their own homes, we respect their routine and space, keeping things familiar and stress-free.
“So happy we have Samantha walking our Siberian Husky several days a week. She is so pleasant, poised, punctual and professional. Merida is very much enjoying Samantha's company!”

“Adrienne is thoughtful and caring and very very good at communicating. This is my 3rd time leaving my dog (a somewhat demanding pug) in her care. It will certainly not be our last.”

“Christen responded to my request promptly and I was able to set up a last minute walk fairly quickly with her. She arrived on time and kept me informed of everything during the walk. I ALSO really appreciate her making arrangements to come with someone else when she wasn’t feeling too well! Definitely recommend her and will book with her in the future!”

“Sheila has been walking my dog Violet since July. She is trustworthy, reliable, flexible and caring. She has lots of expirience with dogs and can handle walking a dog that doesn't have the best manners on a leash! My dog Violet seems to really enjoy her walks with Sheila! She has been able to fit in a walk for Violet every single time I have asked, even if I have contacted last minute due to a scheduling conflict on my end. Sheila is very detail oriented and observant and will notice and alert you if something seems off/different about your dog. I can't say enough good things about Sheila!”

About: I've been a dog-mom to three very different dogs—a German Shepherd, a Rottweiler, and an Indian street dog rescue—over nearly 30 years. They were always part of the family, traveling with us across the world through military assignments and other moves. I've loved and cared for them through every stage of life, from their energetic puppy days to the challenges of old age, gaining plenty of experience with a range of personalities and needs. I recently said goodbye to Daisy, my loyal companion of 13 years, leaving a big hole in my heart. I have a hybrid work schedule and very few time-bound commitments, making my schedule very flexible. Typically, I am available throughout the day Wednesday through Sundays. I am out of the house 8 am - 2 pm on Monday and Tuesdays. I live in a single family home with a small unfenced yard. I am in a residential community with plenty of space to walk and green areas. There are no other pets or kids in the house.

“I can’t say enough great things about Olivia! She is incredibly caring and truly prioritizes the well-being of my dogs, treating them like her own. I always feel at ease knowing they’re in such loving and capable hands. Her communication is excellent—she keeps me updated and is always responsive, which I really appreciate. She’s also consistently punctual and dependable, making everything so easy and stress-free. On top of all that, she is just such a sweet and kind person. My dogs absolutely adore her, and so do I! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs most of my life whether it be the 2 dogs that have been part of my family or taking care of neighbors dogs when they are out of town. I currently work part time so my schedule for pet care is very flexible and I would be available at most hours of the day. I have experience taking care of older dogs who just need someone to hang out with and I’ve taken care of younger hyper dogs that warrant extra attention. I am comfortable walking dogs on and off leash and crating them if need be.

I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available to help when you can’t be there, whether it’s a mid-day walk, a quick drop-in visit, or some extra love while you’re away. As a long-time resident of the Villages of Urbana, I know all the best walking routes (including the shaded trails and quiet corners pets love!) in the Villages and Highlands. Your pet will be safe, happy, and well-cared for. 🐶 What I Offer - Dog walks (local & personalized for your pup) - Drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and small pets (hamsters, rabbits, fish, etc.) - Flexible availability on weekdays and weekends - Reliable communication & updates with every visit I specialize in drop-in care and walks for pets in Urbana.

About: When your dog comes to our home, we treat them like our own. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I know how important it is to find the absolute best care for them while you are away. Having pet sit for family and friends dogs and also fostered several dogs, we have experience with all types of dogs from puppies to senior dogs and various breeds. I have two daughters who love to spend time with dogs that come to our house and always give lots of love and attention. I currently only have weekend availability due to recent return to office - happy to help during the week if your dog is used to an 8 hour day normally. Please reach out to see if it is something we can accommodate and you are comfortable with. Most days I will be able to get them out for a bathroom break around lunchtime. I will care for your dog the same you do to keep things consistent for them. We can leave them out if we have to leave or crate them, whichever you prefer.

About: I have over 10 years of experience dog sitting and walking both large and small breeds. I am comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, attention, and care. My experience has helped me develop strong animal handling skills and a commitment to keeping pets safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work part time during the summer as I am home from college, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day to care for your dog’s needs. I have ample time for walks, playtime, feeding, and providing your pet with the attention and care they deserve. I care for both a large and a small dog at home every day, giving me hands on experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am responsible for feeding, walking, exercising, and making sure they are happy, healthy, and well cared for.

About: I'm a mom of three adult college age kids and a dog and cat lover. Our pet is part of our family and would treat yours the same. I currently have a 14 month old Shiloh Shepherd Echo who is completely dog and people friendly. I treat him with the best care and travel with him whenever I can. I have a home in the woods with 13 acres along the Monocacy River. It is a dog heaven for my boy Echo where we hike, walk, and play every day. I have cared for my own family dogs for the past 15 years, and consider them a blessing to our family. I am attentive, flexible, consistent, and work together to love and care for our pets.
“Jessie has been wonderful with our pup Sadie. She is a great communicator and texts updates if there are any changes to the schedule. It’s fun to see all the pictures she adds to the daily report. We appreciate all she does for Sadie.”
