Pet Sitting Urbana

“Krista is a very kind and caring person, when we need her she is always happy to come over and watch Millie. Millie also loves it when Krista comes over to see her.”

About: I have had dogs in my household my entire life, currently with 3 rescues of my own, that have been trained with cute tricks to make you laugh and melt your heart. I have been entrusted with friends and pet clients over the years to care for their pets while they are away from home and would like to offer the same to you. I have a large fenced in backyard with room to run and beds for lounging. I can administer medications (oral, topical, and injections), take for walks, and offer other special instructions as needed. I have provided specialty care with senior dogs. I’m currently working from home (WFH), so I am available for daycare from morning through early evening during the week, as well as potential boarding if coordinated. Weekend boarding/daycare arrangements can also be made. I have a fully fenced in backyard with three friendly pups of my own to offer play and companionship. If you choose to have your dog crated at times to match their home routine, I can accommodate that if needed.

“Jessica was amazing! She was prompt and made sure Remi had ample chances to go outside. She communicated well and sent pics!!”

About: I've cared for many pets during my life including exotics, cats, dogs, and birds in all age groups from babies to seniors. I will treat your fur babies like my own. I am currently retired with my husband. We eschool our twin boys during the day. I can pop out to do pet care and have a flexible schedule. We do travel a lot during school breaks and in the summer. I am eager to help out with home visits or walks. I enjoy all kinds of pets and don't shy away from those who need special care. Typically I visit dogs in their homes three times per day at whatever schedule works best for the pet and me. Some may need more or less visits and I can be flexible. I do not care for dogs or cats in my home. My two cats don't like other pets, unless it's a pet that lives in a small crate or cage, such as a guinea pig.

“Jenna did a super job taking care of my 4 cats and cockateil. She is always on time for her drop in visits and had some play time with the cats and paid close attention to their feeding schedule. She kept everything clean and tidy for me while I was out of town for a week.”

“Cassandra was excellent and did a great job with our cats!”

About: Hi! I’m Emily, a passionate dog lover with experience caring for pups of all kinds, including special needs dogs and those with behavioral challenges. I’m currently completing a dog training certification and am excited to combine my knowledge with hands on care to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. At my home, dogs have plenty of space to relax and play. I have a large fenced backyard for outdoor fun and a dedicated dog room that doubles as an indoor enrichment and play area. For downtime or when I’m at work, dogs can rest comfortably in a 4x6 kennel within the dog room. My schedule follows a school calendar, so I’m home by 2:30 PM and off during the summer, perfect for lots of walks, playtime, and attention! Whether your dog needs a calm environment, extra enrichment, or some guidance with tricky behaviors, I’d love to provide a safe and loving home away from home. I follow a school schedule, so I’m home by 2:30 PM on weekdays and off during the summer. This allows me to provide plenty of walks, playtime, and enrichment for dogs, or quiet attention and care for cats. While I’m at work, dogs have a comfortable 4x6 kennel in a dedicated dog room, and the room doubles as an indoor play and enrichment space when the weather isn’t ideal. I can accommodate any requests that a client may have regarding their pets care. I always ensure to care for their pets as I would my own. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate as much time as needed to my clients.

“Olivia went above and beyond. She made sure we had no worries during our trip. Would highly recommend and will be rebooking! Grateful to have found someone we can truly trust.”

“Thank you so much for letting Emma out the last few days and spending time with her. She really enjoyed and appreciated you.”

“Tim is not only friendly and easy to work with, he’s very knowledgeable of dog behavior, needs, and training. My dog, Zoe, instantly took to him. During his pop in visits, Tim makes sure that she gets a little exercise in along with her potty break.”

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.

“I have a puppy and Lisa was able to come take care of him twice a day while I was at work and on short notice, she sent me pictures and kept my worry at a minimum while I was gone. I came home to a puppy who was fed and happier than he would have been otherwise. Ill definitely be using her again!”

Lindsay M.

“Jayson was great with our high energy Australian shepherd while we were gone. He threw the frisbee with her every day even though it was freezing cold! He was very reliable and easy to work with!”

Marian R.

“Maddie quickly won over all of our cats, even the most shy girl of the bunch! She is friendly, communicative, and observant of the pets in her care. I will definitely be booking Maddie in the future because I know our girls will be in great hands with her.”

About: I have over ten years of experience taking care of animals. I grew up always having a dog and outdoor cat since I am allergic to cats. I have experience with bigger dogs such as a Great Dane and small dogs such as a Morkie! I love dogs, but I also have experience taking care of chickens, ducks, and cows. Others types of animals I have experience with include puppies and older dogs. Currently I am a full-time teacher, but I will be working from home starting in June. I will be able to let the dogs out twice as much as needed starting then. I am loving, caring, and want the dogs to feel comfortable in my home and in your home when I am pet sitting for you.

“Ragen was a great sitter for our dogs. On time, thorough, and catered to ours dogs needs perfectly. Highly recommend her. It’s nice to be able to getaway sometimes and not have to worry about your pets. Thank you Ragen!!”
