Pet Sitting in Urbana

“Once again, Chrissy did a fabulous job in taking care of my cats when I went on a quick vacation. She sent multiple photos each time she visited and let me know how each of them were doing. She did not need any prompting as she send photos and updates before I could even ask for them. She is my one and only sitter that I absolutely trust 110%! Thank you, Chrissy! The cats miss you already!”

“Judy did an excellent job caring for our Twin cats Salt and Pepper while we were on vacation. We came home to a clean place and happy cats. Judy provided pictures and great communication throughout the duration of the task. Salt and Pepper would be very exited to see Judy again”

“Elizabeth was a wonderful sitter for our two Havanese and little parakeet. She sent pictures and updates and was very responsive with texts. Our girls loved her, and we will definitely be asking her to watch them again! Thank you so much for taking such good care of them!”

“Grace was wonderful! She watched our hyper 2-year-old dog while we were out of town for the weekend. We put our dog in good hands! Will definitely be using her again.”

“Sheila was wonderful! She left detailed notes that reassured me that my pups were doing well and took the time to bring my shy dog out of her shell. I will definitely request her services again next time!”

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.

About: I love all animals. I have the most experience with small-medium dogs with fairly high energy. I love playing with pets and forming genuine connections with them as they each have their own unique personalities! I’m currently working part time at a boba drink shop but only about 9-12 hours a week. I specifically like to pet sit because it gives me more hands-on experience with animals, and i’m planning to study pre-vet at boston u. I sometimes care for multiple pets each day, especially for repeat customers! I find that regardless of the actual money made, spending time with pets itself is such a fun part of my week :) When boarding at my home, I keep the pets completely separate from my current pets in order to prevent conflict. I live in a large family home with 3 floors and many rooms so there plenty of room to provide a separate environment for the pets I service! If wanted, I also have experience with bathing dogs so i’m very open to that extra service if wanted. At other people’s homes i’m very respectful of their property and their pets health. I only offer treats when given permission and I provide extra effort into making sure the home is securely locked and clean before leaving.

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. From the time I was little, pets have always been part of my life—and I know just how special they are to a family. That’s why I treat every pet like my own. I’m calm, careful, loving, and reliable. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit or taking your pup for a walk, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’ll also leave your home just the way I found it—clean and respected. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s specific needs, routines, or quirks, and I’ll always communicate openly so you feel at ease while you're away. I’d be honored to give your pet the love and attention they deserve and give you peace of mind in the process. Let’s chat about how I can best support you and your furry family member—I can’t wait to meet you both! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I make space in my schedule—especially on weekends and holidays—to be available for walks and drop-ins. During the summer, my schedule is more flexible, so I’m available throughout the day. During the school year, my availability shifts more toward evenings and weekends. I plan ahead to ensure each visit gets my full attention, and I’m always happy to adapt my routine to meet a pet’s specific needs. Being around animals is something I genuinely look forward to—it doesn’t feel like a job, it feels like a joy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m always respectful of their space and routines. I follow all instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, leash preferences, or favorite toys. I make sure doors and gates are securely closed and always keep pets leashed on walks unless directed otherwise. I stay calm and attentive, especially around other animals or unfamiliar environments, to keep your pet safe. My goal is to make sure your pet feels secure and happy while giving you peace of mind.

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 work from home so I am around all day to take the dogs for walks and keep them company. I have flexibility in my schedule. We have one dog currently that can keep your dog company and 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 am reliable and honest and have 30+ years of pet experience. Your pet will be treated like my own fur baby and you’ll come home to a tired pup! I work full time at home with a very flexible work schedule which allows me to accommodate your crazy schedules! I find this helps to break up my days I can accommodate instructions to allow your fur baby to feel at ease when their owners are away. I have found this helps to relieve any stress and anxiety they may have .

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’m currently not working and have very few time-bound commitments, making my schedule very flexible. I am available throughout the day and over the weekends. 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.

About: As a dog lover with experience in training and raising my own during quarantine, I would make sure your pet gets the specialized attention they need. I'm also available on short term notice and can work with your schedule to ensure your dog gets the care they need. Im currently completing my graduate degree at Vanderbilt University this summer online. I have class at 2-3:30 on Tuesdays, but for projects I can make my own schedule for those so I am generally flexible! I would treat your pet with the same love and care as if they were my own. Whether it be long walks, playing time, early mornings or late nights, I would make sure they feel safe and comfortable wherever they may be. I am also happy to provide any additional care or attention they need.

“Audrey took such wonderful, loving care of my cat. It took a few days for my cat to warm up to her, but once she did she couldn’t get enough of Audrey. I would definitely book Audrey again.”

“Cindy was awesome. My dogs that are usually skeptical of new humans absolutely loved her. My dog seemed at ease and comfortable with her. Looking forward to booking more services with Cindy!”

“Talia was so good with our dog, Kona. She kept us updated with texts and pictures of Kona during our time away. She was responsive, professional and reliable. I would definitely recommend her.”

About: I have had rabbits and cats as pets of my own and have also taken care of dogs for friends and family in the past. I am experienced with different animals and also know how to administer medications for cats and dogs. I am currently job searching and have a ton of flexibility in terms of timing for visits or overnight stays. I am planning on working remotely in the future and can stay flexible for scheduling visits. I keep my cats collared and they are both microchipped. They are only allowed outside when they have a harness and leash on. Otherwise they are allowed to go outside in a closed tent.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. My neighbors and friends have relied on me to be a dog sitter. I and my family always are at home. We can take care of your pets either week day or weekend. We all love the dogs and play well with them. I have a dog at home and he is very friendly with every dog. I can easily crate if you prefer for your pet. Easy going.

About: Ive loved animals my whole life. I've volunteered in two animal shelters working with all animals and have worked in dog daycare. I currently still volunteer in one of those shelters. I also have two cats at home. Working with animals has always been my dream and I hope to take care if your pets to make sure they are happy. While I do not own a dog myself, I enjoy being around them and spending whatever time that I can work them. Your dogs, cats, or any other pet will be very well taken care if and loved while on my care. Happy to help you out when you need it. While i'm a very shy person, I would be happy to speak to you. I have previously worked for two dog daycares. I have volunteered in a shelter with many animals and I am now a pet sitter :) I do not have a fenced yard so they would be brought back inside if in my home or owners home. Whatever is needed for them
