House Sitting Urbana

“Adrienne was absolutely wonderful with Quincy! She was incredibly attentive during her overnight stay. As a Type A dog parent, I provided a very thorough Quincy care document with everything she needed to know about Quincy and our home. Adrienne did a fantastic job taking notes, asking thoughtful and detailed questions, and making sure Quincy was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout her stay. She was also very respectful of our home and took great care of everything while she was here. Although this stay was only one night, I couldn’t be more grateful to have found someone we feel comfortable trusting with Quincy. We’re already looking forward to her upcoming stays!”

About: I've done pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors for most of my life. This includes care of dogs to include feeding, play, walking, and administering meds if applicable. I currently have a six year old English Bulldog who is a stubborn sweetheart and I regularly pet sit for a family member's pitbull mix. I will be available on marked days, most regularly weekends as well as selected weekday options as I have a flexible/remote work set-up. I take care of pets of my own (as well as children) so I can confidently fill in to care for your pet. I have reliable transportation and defined radius on my profile so I can arrange for several walks and in home check-ins and care throughout the day and evening. When/if I do board or care for a client's pet in my home, there is a fenced in backyard and one other dog in the home.

“Jessica was great! She accepted our booking last minute and still made time to do a meet and greet prior to watching our dog. She was very communicative and prompt! Would definitely book her again!”

“Cindy stayed at our house for a week while we were on vacation. Taking care of our zoo, 3 large dogs and two cats, plus a fish and hermit crabs, is no easy task, and she handled it wonderfully. The dogs and cats loved her! We have a skittish 18 month-old husky mix that warmed up to her quickly. She was conscientious of each of our pets' needs and kept me up-to-date via text and daily pictures. I would absolutely recommend Cindy!”

“Maria is the best! She was so kind, accommodating to our specific needs, communicated very well, and loved my kitten as if he were her own. We are incredibly thankful to have found her and look forward to working with her again in the future.”

“Our sweet Gimli was happy with Marilyn! She was very responsive and reliable. She shared happy photos of our dog! I appreciated finding our home just as we left it! I would recommend Marilyn for watching your pets!”

About: I am intuitive with animals and tend to bond effortlessly with them. I have experience with dog walking, puppy training, and house-sitting. I truly care about animal welfare and strive to make sure your pets will be safe, happy, and healthy in my care.

About: At college during the school year but home now for the summer!! I’ve been helping dog sitting for as long as I can remember. I’ve even trained my dog when he was puppy and now he’s a great well trained dog. I’m currently a sophomore at Miami University and I have a flexible schedule during the summer! I’d love to spend my free time taking care of your furry friends! I’m super patient and understanding with all dogs especially puppy’s. I’ve always had a great connection with all dogs and get along with them great.

“Victoria was an amazing sitter for my dog Felix. Felix can be a bit shy but he warmed up her quickly. She sent me photos and updates every day, which I appreciated so much. I trusted her completely with my pup and my house and I’d highly recommend her for any pet needs!”

About: Responsible and caring dog lover with years of experience providing reliable walking and sitting services. I treat every pet with patience, respect, and genuine affection, ensuring they feel safe and happy while you're away. Known for clear communication and dependable care, I'm committed to making each visit a positive experience for both pets and owners. I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable and attentive pet care throughout the week. I genuinely enjoy taking care of other people's pets and treat every animal with the same care I give my own. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for while you're away. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. I understand how important trust is when someone else is caring for your furry family member. I believe in keeping pet parents informed with regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and responsible hands.

“Tess is the best! One of our dogs is quite anxious. I could tell from the pictures that he was super comfortable with Tess. We received pictures and updates daily and knew they were in wonderful hands. To top everything, Tess was a super home sitter as well. Tess is genuine, reliable, considerate and a sweet and caring person. Six stars out of five!!”

About: I’ve done dog walking, dog sitting, and overnight care for the last 5 years. I’ve always been a dog lover ever since I was a kid. I grew up with a Rottweiler, yorkie and Boston terrier so I have experience with all sizes. I am a college athlete so I have all weekends off, week days are a little more challenging but I will always find time to help out. I treat clients homes how I would want my home treated, with respect. As for the dogs I will make sure they have a good time and are well taken care of.

“Laurie did an amazing job. She came to meet our dog first before sitting and he immediately loved her. She was a great communicator, and shared many great photos while we were away. She also asked some great questions that proved to me she cared about our pet’s wellbeing.”

“Heidi was fantastic with Quincy! It's so refreshing to work with someone who is not only organized but also makes sure everything is clearly laid out, ensuring everyone is on the same page. She asked great questions to understand Quincy’s needs and gave him all the care and attention he deserved. Heidi provided the perfect amount of updates and even went the extra mile to give Quincy additional stimulation by taking him to one of his favorite walking spots. She truly goes out of her way to understand the dogs she cares for and makes sure their owners feel at ease. It’s been a pleasure working with her!”

About: I spent twelve years caring for my German Shepherd, Tyson, who taught me the importance of patience, trust, & routine. Alongside him, I have cared for doggies of all breeds & sizes for over fifteen years. Friends & family have relied on me for walking, feeding, companionship, & staying with them for days at a time. I'm especially comfortable with large & strong breeds. I'm calm, attentive, & deeply respectful of each dog's unique personality- my goal is always for your pet to feel safe & loved while you're away! I'm happy to send photo updates so you can feel at ease as well! I will also care for your kitties! Hi! I’m Jade! I recently moved back to my hometown after spending the last five years living in Colorado, and I’m taking this season to slow down a little, spend time with family, and enjoy being back home. I’ve had a bit of a colorful career path! I’ve spent years as a private nanny and household manager, worked in property management, attended school for Interior Design, and now work in management and social media marketing. Through all of it, I’ve always loved work that involves caring for people, creating beautiful spaces, and making life a little easier for others. Outside of work, I’m a creative and an adventurer at heart. I love acrylic painting, interior design, hiking, cooking homemade recipes, road trips, and traveling to new places. Give me a beautiful trail, a little town I’ve never explored, a paintbrush, or something new to cook and I’m happy. I also had a dog of my own who I had to say goodbye to a few years ago, and I’ve really missed having that companionship in my everyday life. My current work gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day, with especially open availability on Sundays and Mondays. I’m happy to follow whatever routine makes your pet happiest—whether that’s long walks and adventures, backyard playtime, or lots of couch snuggles. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your little family member is with someone who will genuinely love and care for them. I take them to the dog park, long walks, roaming around in fenced in yards, & lots of snuggles. Whatever you are comfortable with and whatever your dog's typical routine is- I will make sure they are fulfilled.

“Ariana was great with our dogs! She was patient with our dog who isn't great with new people, and did a great job of communicating how things were going. We would happily book her again!”

“Olivia was given the task of caring for my 5 year old cocker spaniel who recently had meniscus surgery. She did a great job keeping my girl happy. She showed up on time and has an easy going manner. I will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Kaila was amazing!! She took care of my German Shepherd while I was away for the weekend. She kept me updated the whole time and I’m so grateful she took such a good care of my baby!”

“When we met Rosie, she made a special effort to connect with our dog--also named Rosie. She took very good care of our dog and our home while we were away for a recent weekend; it was so appreciated! I know our girl will be in good hands when we take a long vacation later this summer!”

Mike B.

“Hannah was fantastic! She stayed overnight to care for our dog Bailey. She was very friendly, caring and thorough. She came ahead of time to do a meet and greet with Bailey and provided us with updates throughout her stay. We will definitely be booking her again for any future needs.”
