Pet Sitting in Urbana

“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!”

“Samantha! We couldn’t be happier with the care our dogs Harry Stanley and De Niro received! Our dog care taker went absolutely above and beyond to make sure our pups were happy and well taken care of while we were away for our wedding. Samantha was incredibly punctual, reliable, and genuinely attentive to our boys’ needs. Knowing they were in such capable and loving hands gave us complete peace of mind on our special day and throughout our time away. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — she truly made all the difference. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dedicated dog care taker!”

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.

About: I am available in the Frederick, Maryland area from May 21-June 10, as well as July 15-August 8 as I will move back to college. I’ve had a variety of animal care experiences, including raising and training a service dog for a few months, pet sitting for dogs, cats, and goats. I have farm animal experience and am a student in a pre-veterinary program at the University of Tennessee Knoxville taking courses such as animal handling and management and animal anatomy and physiology. I have experience volunteering and taking care of animals. I am available in the Frederick, Maryland area from May 21-June 10, as well as July 15-August 8 as I will move back to college. When I move back to Knoxville, I am starting a job at my university that has flexible hours. I also have a very flexible schedule and am free on weekends and weekdays. I will follow your pet’s routine as strictly as I can! I will ensure your pet feels comfortable with me and will also ensure safety by keeping the house key or keys safe with me at all times and double check that doors are locked. I will adhere to any limitations or restrictions if your pet has any!

“Tracy took such great care of our two cats! She was reliable, kind, and kept us updated, and we came home to two very happy and relaxed kitties. Highly recommend!”

“I had never used rover before and was desperate for a dog sitter, and l definitely lucked out with Judy! She was great with my dog, going above and beyond for her and sent plenty of updates. I knew my dog was in good hands!”

About: I’ve had pets since i was born. My home was full of dogs, not always mine. Love to be around them and getting to know their personalities. Taking care of them and giving them lots of love is what i enjoy the most. I have a very flexible weekly schedule, Monday through Saturday, doesn’t matter the time so i’m sure we can make everything work out with yours! How I take care of my clients pets depends 100% of my client. Whatever you ask for and whatever the pet needs are, I am willing to make it all like if you were doing yourself!

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.

“Super duper dogwatch trooper! Provided regular updates and timely pics. Great attention to detail, remembering little quirks I told her about our dog. I’d say even nicer things, but I’d rather keep her a secret ;)”

“Sheila was fantastic, taking wonderful care of our sweet dogs while we went away to visit family. She arrived promptly and shared photos of each visit so we knew that they were happy and safe! We received a few packages while away and she brought even a really heavy one inside for us!!”

About: I have experience with different types of animals including dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs. I enjoy being active, spending time at home, and taking pics of animals I work full time in healthcare. Available mornings before 7am and after 5:30-6pm on week days for walks. I am also free any time on weekends!! I make sure the pets can hang out with me instead of in a crate while I am present in the home. I make sure to supervise and ensure pets are not damaging household items. I also enjoy being outdoors and I would take the pet/dog on a walk if allowed.

“Dominique is the best!!!!!!! We literally booked her last minute before going out of the country. We love her and most important of all my both doggies love her!!!! She has been such a great help and we will always keep her in mind for the future!!!!”

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.

“I’m always so happy when Cindy watches my cats. She does a great job and I feel very at ease being away from home knowing Cindy is taking care of my kitties.”

“Leslie is wonderful! I feel so much better knowing that our newly adopted dog has a break from the crate while we are at work. I love seeing the photos and detailed updates after her visits.”

“Ariana took care of our 17 year old cat for over 3 weeks while we were away. We are relatively new to this area and were a little reluctant to let someone we didn't know visit our house and take care of our cat. We feel very lucky for finding Ariana. She did a wonderful job taking care of Dashy and communicating with us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter.”

About: Hi! I’m Ingrid, a mom of 4 boys ages 3-12 and a dog owner to a boy Beagle named Otis. I’ve had dogs all my life and love being with them and caring for them! (I even trained Otis from a puppy!) We have a large house in the country on 2.5 acres of land. We LOVE having other dogs stay and visit! Otis and the children are very good with other dogs! Other than taking care of the house and kids, taking care of dogs is my only other job, so your pup will get plenty of needed attention and have lots of fun with us!!! We are on a 2.5 acre property, but no fence, so outside time will be on leash only- (we have long leashes for more freedom to roam). Inside is more flexible with free roam in the main area- very large sunroom, living room, and kitchen. We have a large area for dogs to sleep overnight comfortably either on a dog bed or crate, whichever is preferred.

“Rachel was great with our dog & cat. She was punctual, reliable, and our fur babies took to her so quickly. She sent me so many pictures of them cuddled up on her so if you believe that a dog is a good judge of character, then Rachel is the best. We will use her in the future & would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

Courtney M.

“Connie is awesome!!! She takes her time to show love and take pics and detailed notes on her time with my fur babies. I absolutely love booking with her!”

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.
