Dog Sitting in Urbana

About: I’ve grew up on a horse farm where my parents also breed and raised Rottweilers growing up! I have been around animals of all sizes from before I can remember. I also have years of experience taking care of all types and sizes of animals due to this, from tiny teacup chihuahuas to gentle giants! Given plenty of baths, special feedings and followed strict schedules! I recently lost my 9 year old great dane and am missing a companion around dearly. Looking for some cool pups to make friends with who are in need of some company to! I currently am a stay at home momma myself! I tend to just mosey around the house and take walks to the park right next door with the kiddos nowadays. I have complete open availability, with lots of space in and out of my home to accommodate for your fur baby. I enjoy animals company more than people most days so if your fur baby needs a friend, let get together! I have a secure large fenced in yard. Although i am still happy to take them on daily walks. Also i love rewarding them with some of their favorite treats, so please bring theirs! Crates are welcome if needed, not necessarily however, I plan to be very attentive. With over night stays if they are normally crated, I do ask you bring theirs so they can be comfortable. My home is open and clean, they are more than welcome to play in or the yard as well. Bring their favorite toys/ ropes or balls so we can enjoy all our time in or outside the house.

“I absolutely loved having Jennifer over to watch my dogs! She did excellent with the our 11 week old puppy and our shy 4 year old dog! Will definitely be having her over to watch them again!”

About: Started working with dogs when I was in my early twenties. I stated out as a dog bather and pet care at Petsmart. I then started spending my free time at Sunrise Sanctuary taking care of their rescued livestock. The job that taught me so much was being a dog warden. I learned how to handle emergency calls but also took care of the dogs at the shelter. I work a fun and open schedule so I have more flexibility on dog or cat sitting time frame. My dogs wake me up bright and early at 5am and going to bed around 10pm. So I’m able to check in on dogs within that big time frame. I have a 6 foot wooden privacy fence that I will allow my dogs to go outside in for potty breaks to the dogs playing in the puppy pool. Dogs will not unattended while in the yard.

About: I have about 10 years of caring for pets, from cats, dogs and even rodents! I also have experience in giving vaccines and pills to animals. I have fostered and rescued animals over the years, I know how to care for new born puppies/kittens. I am currently working part time and doing online school part time. I have plenty of time to help with your pets, whether it’s walking or staying over night with them! I have 1 dog and 2 cats. I live with my parents at the moment, they have 2 dogs and a cat, it’s a very busy home! All the animals get along with each other, and are always excited for new friends.

About: With over 8 years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine, I bring a deep understanding of animal health, behavior, and emergency care to every pet I look after. My background includes working alongside veterinarians in clinical settings, assisting with diagnostics, surgical procedures, and administering medications. Whether it’s managing pets with chronic conditions, administering medications, or simply offering a calming presence, my veterinary experience ensures your pet is in capable, compassionate hands. I prioritize safety, well-being, and individualized care for every animal, treating each one as if they were my own. I am currently working full time at a veterinary clinic. While I am not available during the day, I will be available after 6:00 pm and in the mornings before I leave for work. I am also available almost all day during the weekends to be around for your pets. When caring for both my own pets and a client’s pet, I treat each animal with the same level of love and attention. I make sure they are fed on time and have access to fresh water throughout the day. I take dogs for regular walks to keep them active and happy, and for cats or other pets, I ensure litter boxes are kept clean and fresh. I love interacting with animals—whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company. I want them to be comfortable and feel cared for! I also give treats (with permission) as a way to reward good behavior and build trust. Every pet in my care is treated like family.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and traveling and know the importance of making sure your four-legged family are well taken care of when you’re out adventuring. I love walking, hiking, and staying active with animals but also relaxing on the porch and enjoying the sun! Hoping to make sure your four-legged family is happy and cared for! I work a unique schedule and have many times with just a few short obligations or even nothing at all. I do have busy weeks and will not accept pets during that time so they find the best care. I have many holidays and travel times off and will accept offers only when I can provide the total and best care! If I am able to provide services, it will be during my free times where at most I will have a normal 7-4 schedule. I regularly have evenings free for dog walking services. We have a small and quaint house but a lot of space and not many things for pets to get into. We have a couch with a nice window for sunbathing and the ability to crate pets if needed in a side room with a camera and noise machine. I also have an SUV to transport pets to parks for walks if needed, which I do live near multiple parks and within a quiet neighborhood.

About: I've never not known having a pet! My parents got my first dog 2 days after I was born, and just like in The Secret Life of Pets, we were inseparable! Since then, I have owned several types of species of animals, and ever since I became a dad, my love for animals has grown. All of our friends joke that we run a zoo at our house, but I absolutely love watching the bond between my kids and our pets. We currently have 2 dogs, 2 red-eared sliders, and a hamster. I have experience caring for puppies/kittens, elderly dogs/cats, pregnant dogs/cats, aggressive animals, and animals who need medication administered. I can't wait to love your pet(s) as my own! I'm currently a real estate agent / stay-at-home dad with a very flexible schedule and multiple available sitters with a short notice. Don't be afraid to book last minute! We absolutely believe in the safety for our pets as well as others' pets. My wife and I have been on both ends of the spectrum of having a very obedient, friendly dog, as well as being the owner of a dog that is triggered by unfamiliar faces in human and non-human form! No matter the needs, I will work to achieve them!

About: I am great with dogs and cats, I have two cats and two dogs of my own .

I do not allow people food, can bathe them if needed trim nails or brush them I have three children two boys ages 4 yrs and 5yrs years and a 13 year old girl all are great with pets. My toddler aged child is NOT mean to dogs or cats I do not allow him to be.

About: I grew up with pets my whole life, mostly big dogs (German shepherds, Greyhounds, Pit bulls, Boxers) but im a lover of all breeds. My experience has been all personal, I’ve taken care of friends, neighbors and families pets. My specialty is in rabbits as I have my own happy free range bunny and have done a lot of research over caring for them. I make my own hours doing freelance photography so I have plenty of free time to take care of pets and prioritize a job when needed. I will expect to be given a list or being told how your pet needs to be cared for and will do exactly that, with extra love of course!
