Personalized care for your dog or cat - Alvin

“Theresa and Scott were absolutely amazing I would let them watch Colby anytime! They really treated Colby like one of their own and I know he made tons of new friends with all their pups!! They sent tons of pictures and videos! I would recommend anyone that needs animal care to get hold of them!!”

“First time ever having a sitter take care of of my cat and dog. She gave me updates and made sure she was properly cared for! i described the littler box needed to be cleaned once a day and it was so clean when i got it back i was so grateful! My dog had so much fun and she came back 10x softer! I booked multiple nights back to back and she kept going on with amazing care”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and I love them all. I’m good about watching temperament in animals and making sure everything is going smoothly. I can do simple training like sit and lie down. I can’t wait to meet and love on your pup/senior. :) I work 8-4 Monday through Friday. My job is pretty lax when it comes to coming and going! I get an hour lunch break around 1:30. Once I’m off at 4 I’m usually home for the night, but if I’m not your pet will be with me or crated! Whether we are burning energy with interactive toys or cuddling on the couch, your pets comfort and routine come first. I provide fresh water always, stick to your feeding schedules, and will give update pictures throughout their stay!

“Adrienne handled my dogs with their many quirks with so much care. She was great at communicating with me about any concerns. You can really tell how much she cares about animals.”

About: As a kid I did not grow up with cats, but I always loved their quirks and that no two are alike! Whether your cat is a social butterfly who loves endless chin scratches (like my Poe), a shy introvert who needs patience and space (like my Monroe), or a curious kitten ready for playing, I make my approach match their comfort zone. - comfortable handling all temperaments, from playful kittens to fragile seniors. - Experience with medication - Efficient litter box cleaning

“Thank you Marci!! Ajani probably hopes I travel again soon!!”

“I needed care for my pets while we went out of town. I found Makinzee on Rover, and she took our older dog in for more attentive care, and visited the house once a day to check on our more self reliant animals. She did a great job, and Id definitely book her again!”

About: Growing up in the country I have had about every animal. It has taught me from an early age responsibility, nurturing, & experience in caring for pets. I am a nurse 20 years+ in the ER/trauma field. There are many similarities. I am walking & providing care for dogs because sometimes I love working with dogs a little more than working with people 😉 “Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen“ My schedule is flexible ! If I’m not dog walking I volunteer at shelters and work on my barn getting ready for my next horse. I am insured. This is an awesome hobby in carrying out something I love doing. I took a certification course in pet psychology. Common sense along with knowledge such as obedience & safety basics while giving your dog great exercise is my priority.

“Madison was great! She was extremely warm and friendly and it was clear that she made our pet feel loved and cared for while we were away. She took detailed notes when we explained our preferred care for our pet, and was very thorough with her check-ins, being sure to send cute photos and detailed visit summaries. You can tell that Madison truly loves all animals and pets, and we cannot recommend her enough!”

“Great experience!!! Our dogs were very happy!”

About: I own several animals which include cats, dogs, and a leopard gecko. I love animals, and I am good with feeding on time, bathroom breaks on time, and I love to spend quality time with animals! I am good with puppy and kitten care as well. I am a house cleaner as well, so it tends to mix in with the pet care. I am consistently taking care of myself, my house, and my animals. I walk my dog every day, I feed all of my animals at the same time every day, I keep regular vet appointments, and all of my animals are up to date on their vaccines and spay/neutering.

About: I would love to meet your fur babies. I'm retired from 35 yrs as a Social Worker. Now, I can pet sit full time. Call or text with any questions or to book my services! I'm able to come to your home while you're away! Whether you're working extra long hours or away on vacation, I can watch your pets when you are gone from home. I only watch pets in their home environments. This is less stressful/traumatic on pets, than a kennel stay. Also, your pet will avoid getting diseases from the other animals at kennel. I don't charge per pet or per size fees either!

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 13 years and genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. I’m detail oriented, dependable, and comfortable administering medications, following special routines, and providing plenty of love and attention. My 5-star reviews and repeat clients reflect the care, trust, and communication I bring to every visit. I’m a licensed cosmetologist, small business owner, and new mom. Caring for others is at the heart of what I do, and I treat every pet the way I treat my own. I’m detail-oriented and dependable. Whether your pet needs medication, a strict routine, or just extra patience and snuggles, I’m happy to provide. I make communication a priority, so you’ll get regular photo updates and honest check ins while you’re away. My goal is simple: keep your pet safe, loved, and relaxed until you’re back. Caring for others has always been part of who I am. I treat every pet like family and believe consistency, patience, and communication make all the difference. Whether your pet needs medication, extra playtime, or a little extra comfort while you’re away, I’m committed to giving them the same love and attention I’d want for my own pets.

About: Greetings! First - thank you for considering me and my services. I have been a pet owner all my life, and have been the proud parent of hamsters, fish, cats, dogs, and a rabbit! I'm also a responsible house sitter, having been both a homeowner and a renter, I understand the value of not just your pets, but your possessions, your mail and plants, the cozy space of your home, the relationships with your neighbors. I have provided these services for friends and families for most of my life. I have always loved animals and I have always owned pets, been a member of dog parks and puppy play groups, and I volunteered for the Champaign Humane Society for many years. I have also had pets with medication needs, so I am experienced in that area. For years I also groomed my own dogs, and I know that each pet has its own needs, preferences, and personalities. Finally, I recently lost my dog of 15 years, and although I now live somewhere that does not allow pets, I need animals in my life! From my own experience of being a Rover customer for many years, I also know how important it is to pet sit within your home with no disruption to your pet's routine or surroundings. I'm retired, so I can be flexible with your scheduling needs for both your pets and your home. I'm both an early riser and a night owl, so whatever works for you also works for me! I have been both a renter and homeowner, so I know how valuable your pets are, but also your cozy home, your plants, mail, and relationships with your neighbors. I have owned a bunny, hamsters, cats and dogs. But I also have an affinity for birds and reptiles. I have provided services for friends and family most of my life, now I just want to bring in a bit of extra cash to supplement social security. I'm also mainly a homebody, so if your home or your pets need extra care or a lot of time, I'm fully available.

About: From fish to horses, dogs, cats, and everything in between, I’m an animal lover. In fact, pretty much my whole life is based around animals! I am currently a kennel tech at an animal shelter, and have worked with animals in some capacity since I was very young. I have a WRCTE Veterinary Medical Applications Certification and Fear Free Handling training. I currently work fulltime (8:30-4:30) but am available after work and on breaks for drop-in visits, and every other weekend for more higher demand work. My pets are my whole world, and I’ll treat yours just the same! I know everyone has different preferences for their furbabies, and I’ll stick to every detail you ask of me. You need pictures? You’ve got them. You need me to give extra love? Can do. Your pet needs special medications? I have experience with that! Leaving behind our pets is hard, and I’ll do my best to make your time away less stressful.

“Madison is fantastic, attentive, and goes the extra mile!! Cleo LOVES walks with Madie and her tail wags as soon as she sees her. She has been so reliable and consistent with her help and we appreciate her SO MUCH!!”
