About: I've had pets my whole life, being able to care for a variety of dog breeds/types. During my time at Wittenberg University, I fostered and cared for a service dog in training, raising the puppy from birth to trying to complete the program. This included grooming, cooperative care, daily care, socialization, and training. I also dogsat for others in the program regularly - providing weekly and overnight care which included grooming, feeding, walking, and socialization. I am currently unemployed, being able to provide care for your dog 24/7. Dog care is imbedded into my routine with my Golden Retriever - so adding a new furbaby will be second nature! I have a large backyard that will be getting fenced soon. We also have a friendly golden retriever who loves ALL dogs! We have a crate in our home that isn't used by our dog, so we are able to house overnight.

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've worked as a vet assistant so medications and treatments do not scare me. I have had my own pets my entire life. I can do basic training and work well with pets of all ages. I'm going to take care of them as if they were my own. I work as a Realtor so I have extensive background checks and stick to a strict code of ethics in everything I do.

I currently dog sit for my brother and his wife (5 dogs of various ages: 1yr up to 7yrs old) I am available for your dogs needs any time of day. I will do my best to stick to a routine if you have one in place (feeding times, walking times, etc) I will follow directions to a T. Safety is my number one priority. Rest assured that your pets will be in good and caring hands. If you have any questions or concerns I am always available to talk.

About: My motto is every one deserves to be loved. I have been taking care of animals my whole life. I was always the kid who would bring home the stray or injured animal. I have rescued injured cats, and dogs, as well as a baby ground hog, and even an bat! I adore all furry critters, but cats and dogs have a special place in my heart. I would love to talk with you about caring for your furry critter! I have a flexible schedule, so I can be relatively available even with short notice. I am available for walks, potty breaks, and general pet care in their own homes where the pets are most comfortable. I can care for your fur babies in their own homes where they would be most comfortable. I can feed your pets, give treats, meds if needed, potty breaks, and spend plenty of time with them so they do not feel lonely. I can also water house plants, and bring in mail or packages if needed.

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 have always grown up with dogs in my house and have experience working with other livestock animals my whole life. I worked at an animal shelter my entire high school career where I have taken care of dogs of all sizes (fed, watered, cleaned up after, played with, bathed, groomed, trained, etc.) as well as administered medications and vaccines. I recently started working as a veterinary assistant where I have expanded my pet health skills and am able to rightfully care for your pet and notice any strange or indifferent behavior right away! Though I am not a professional trainer, I do have some training experience from my time at the animal shelter and with my own personal animals as well! I love all animals as if they are my own :) I currently work full time, but I am off sporadically throughout the week and available every Friday as well as mid-day on weekends to help watch after, care for or walk your furry family member! I am able to do anything your pet(s) need throughout the day including feeding, giving medications, taking out for potty breaks and going on walks!

“Mandy was just fantastic! My elderly mom and her little dog both loved her. We appreciated Mandy's prompt arrival and her caring attitude with both my mom and her dog. We highly recommend Mandy to care for your loved ones! Thanks Mandy!!”

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: Hi friends! Me and my husband Chris have been pet sitting together for over 4 years and are currently doing it full time. We are partners in business and ministry and make a great team. We have a large farm with horses, cows, chickens, pigs, dogs and cats. Even with the huge responsibility of caring for our farm we still love housesitting for others and taking care of their animals also. My first job was walking all the dogs in my neighborhood when I was 7 years old and ever since then, it has been my passion to work with animals and make them a part of my daily life. I have had a talent for animal care since I was a child, I just seem to understand them and I’m keen to picking up on their specific needs. I have been grooming my own dogs and also dogs and cats belonging to friends and family for the past 15 years. (I’m older than I look lol) I have also trained dogs of all ages (Taught 5 week old pups to sit - Taught 7 yr old dog new tricks) I am also experienced with senior, diabetic and epileptic dogs. My dog Milo has been having seizures since 2018 and I have found ways to prevent episodes and avoid having him on medication. I have a knack for nursing animals back to health and have treated my dogs for multiple ailments. Currently, my main interest is dog sitting because it is my most inclusive service and offers full care and companionship when you are away from your home. It also gives me a chance to work with your dog if you would like me to include training or grooming. I also offer cleaning services which include laundry, dishes, sweeping, mopping, kitchen and bathroom upkeep. Please message me for more information. I look forward to meeting and caring for your fur family! The majority of my time is dedicated to pet care and my schedule is open most days. Please request your bookings at least 3 days advance, if possible, in order for me to maintain my availability. My cancellation policy for house sitting is 1 week prior to the service date so that I’m able book another pet if I need to. Thank you! I prefer to stay full time when you are away from home, only leaving to take short trips to the grocery store. I feel that it is in the best interest of the pets and your home to offer full supervision for their safety and companionship and for your peace of mind. I make sure to let them have as much play time as possible, cuddle time, belly rubs, and all of my love! I like to send photos so being away is a little bit easier for you and your family. I will treat your babies like they are my babies!

“Jamie is amazing! We have a new puppy and she is need of some TLC while we are at work! We just moved to Urbana and we feel we hit the jackpot with Jamie as our dog walker and pet sitter when we go out of town! I know she loves animals and will take great care!”

About: I have 16 years of experience with many types of dogs. I have owned 6 dogs in my life, which 4 were trained and taken care of by me. I worked as a dog sitter, trainer and groomer at the K9 Co and Paw Perfections. I am very active and big into fitness so I offer your dog real exercise and a great play time. I am very patient and caring with animals. I work at the hospital. I am a medical lab technician, so 5 out of the 7 days of the week im on day shift 7am to 4pm. (I will try to keep schedule up to date with work schedule. I am a traveling medical lab scientist. I will be available mostly any day my schedule is open. Please ask even if the day is marked unavailable. Sometimes i may have opening after work. In the simplest way i can word this, I treat pets like they are my own, like family. I take extra consideration to temperament, age, diet, and emotions of the pet. Our furry friends will show you signs for the trained eye, and sometimes right out tell you their needs.

About: I've taken care of many stray kittens as a kid and my own pets as well (both dogs and cats). I know how important quality care is. Currently I am unemployed- So this leaves me plenty of time to give quality care to your furry friend. I have dependable transportation to be there for your pet. With more weary pets I tend to just be there to fulfill their needs and be present in the house. However with pets that are friendly with strangers, I'm more than happy to give them all of the attention they want!

About: I’ve owned dogs since i was 7 and I was often involved in the care for and walking of them. I always enjoy taking long walks with my dogs and love meeting new dogs! I don’t have any other jobs at the moment so my schedule is pretty open. Weekends are typically busy but I can fit in a couple dog walks in between if needed! I take my dogs out for walks, let them out to go potty, feed them, give them treats, play with them, and of course give them plenty of cuddles :)

About: Hi, I’m Katelyn! A little about me - I’m a wife, mom of 3, and of course an avid animal lover which is what led me to Rover. I have experience with small to large breeds and from puppies to seniors. I live on two acres of land, however none of it is fenced in so pets that are in my care will be leashed during any and all outdoor time. My home is very clean and well kept! My schedule is open and flexible. I am reliable, experienced, and pay close attention to detail. So please, feel free to give me any and all details that I will need to make sure that your fur baby is happy, accommodated, and comfortable. Pets in my care mostly have free range of the house when they are with me. Crated only if I need to leave. Potty breaks are given as often as they’re needed. I will watch for their ques and also take them out often. I send daily updates with pictures/videos so that pet parents are always informed on how their pets are doing during their time with me. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
