“Gloria and her husband are caring and compassionate pet sitters! They took good care of our little dog, sending updates and photos. I felt very reassured and relaxed with the care they provided. Their home is the perfect place for a dog to play and be comfy, including a big fenced back yard. I highly recommend Gloria!”
“Thank you, Aratrika and Arjun, for taking great care of Chewie, being willing to do a meet and greet, and sending so many great updates and pictures! Chewie seems happy after his weekend with you :)”
“Meghan took great care of our three greyhounds for the weekend! From our one still in the crazy, destructive puppy phase to the old guy that just wants to cuddle on the couch. She handled their meds and feeding fantastic. Will happily book with her again and recommend to anyone!”
“Feiran and her family loved our pup throughout his week and a half with them. Feiran is professional but relaxed, sent us at least one video a day of our bat playing with his new friends. We definitely recommend her for boarding services 🧡”
“Katherine did an excellent job of taking care of my Winnie, a large, athletic dog who craves attention from people. Katherine kept her engaged, playing games with her and throwing the ball in the backyard. She clearly has a lot of experience with dogs. Winnie came home a very happy pup.”
“Caitlin has so much patience and compassion with dogs! Our Lucy has stayed with her twice now. Most recently Lucy had been sick and still wasn’t feeling well when we took her over. Caitlin was able to get Lucy to start eating well again and encouraged her to interact with the other dogs. Caitlin is extremely organized and sends photos and texts regularly. She and her family seemed to enjoy cuddling with Lucy. We’ll definitely use Caitlin the next time we travel.”
About: Im a full-time PhD student at the college of Veterinary Medicine at UIUC. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I enjoy taking long walks, so I'm available to take pets out for walks longer than 30 minutes if necessary. I am currently able to board small and medium sized dogs at my home. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I'm a dog mom of two funny and loving mixbreeds: Willow, a Shih Tzu/Poodle mix and Rorie, a Pekingese/Poodle mix. They are 11 & 16 years old respectively. I'm available throughout the day to care for your pet. I typically complete my work during the evening time. I will work my personal schedule around your dog's care and needs. I have two friendly senior dogs that can keep your pet company if you decide to board them with me. If desired, I can crate your pet with your preferred instructions.
“Rae is a fantastic sitter! I've never felt more sure and comfortable about leaving my Izzy with anyone more than Rae and Maya. Very responsive to messages, and gives great updates with photos and videos - No anxiety here about how my dog is doing! And this last visit, Izzy was so exhausted she passed out when we got home (awesome for unloading our stuff from the trip). This is our second time using Rae's services, and we'll definitely be using her again! Thank you, Rae and Maya!”
“China was amazing. This was the first time I’ve booked a sitter on rover and she did her best to alleviate all my worries. My pup is super anxious and she did her best to help her eat her food and gave her all the time she needed to potty and do her business. She also gave my pup her meds which isn’t always easy! As long as she is available I will always go to China she’s awesome.”
“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”
“Rachel clearly loves animals, and did an excellent job of sending pictures and keeping us updated! Also, her cat Henry is so chill and friendly, and our Tessa had an excellent time with both of them. We'll definitely rebook with Rachel!”
“Rose was absolutely amazing with our dog! She’s so responsive and sweet. She sent us pictures and videos, and just made everything so seamless. We cannot wait to use her again!”
“Ryan was an amazing sitter! He picked my baby up on a major holiday while another sitter fell through! I deeply appreciate him and would be booking in the future! Thank you again! 10/10 recommend!”
“Kellie was phenomenal with our dog, Baylee. We had been having problems with Baylee eating and Kellie was able to find something she would eat. Along with managing the number of treats Baylee received, Kellie took Baylee for numerous walks (I think daily), that we think our dog lost weight - which was desperately needed. We are continuing with Kellie's start to a new regimen for Baylee in hopes of making her healthier. Thanks for everything, Kellie!!”
“Lainey agreed to board my Golden and Aussie last minute and she did a phenomenal job! My Aussie does not like new people and struggles with severe anxiety and fear aggression. I was honest about his behaviors upfront and not once did she seem scared, which is so uncommon, even at dog boarding facilities. Because of her passion for animals, managing behaviors, and training, he had a successful stay and I could enjoy time away without worrying constantly. I can't begin to explain how freeing and relieving that was! I will be using Lainey in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Lainey!! You are such a blessing!”
About: I’ve had a dog of my own since 2020. I made sure to enroll him in doggie daycare to get that enjoyment while I’m away at work. I started working from home which gave me more time to spend with my dog. I realized how close we got and how spoiled I made him. I love dogs and will care for each dog as if they are my own. I’m currently working from home. This allows me a lot of time with my dog and other dogs potentially. I set my own hours so I am able to care for the pet when needed Sticking to a routine, ensuring adequate food and fresh water is provided. Maintaining cleanliness and ensuring it is a safe culture. The dogs will be cared for

“Xiaotong is an amazing cat sitter. She was very communicative and always kept me in the loop with my cats. I left her some written and verbal care instructions which were all followed perfectly. Her rover cards were very detailed and came with plenty of photos. My cats decided to rummage through a couple of my trash bins, something they have never done before. Xiaotong was very understanding, going above and beyond cleaning up after my cats' mess. I would definitely book again!”
About: I have two friendly cats and backyard chickens. I have had cats and dogs for most of my life. I go trail hiking at local forest preserves and state parks 2-4 times a week and would love to take your dog with me! I only have one dog guest at a time (unless they are from the same home) so I can give them lots of care and attention and provide you with regular updates and photos. You will know your pet is being well looked after. My goal is to make your pet feel like it is on a fun vacation while you are on a fun vacation. Nothing makes me happier than dogs I've cared before, coming back and pulling on their leash to come into my house on their next visit! I only work half-time so I have plenty of time for pets. I know how important your pet is to you and I'm very responsible. My dog guests are walked at least three times a day including a walk or hike of 30 minutes or longer. They are also able to use my fenced in backyard when the chickens are locked up for the night .
“Sarah was a wonderful pet sitter! We got updates and pictures, which were not expected but totally appreciated. She was communicative, easy to work with, and so very kind to our doggies, even spending a little extra time with them. We couldn’t be happier with her!”
About: I’ve cat‑sat for neighbors and family friends throughout my life, and my passion for animals has carried into both my education and career. I’m currently studying Animal Science at the University of Illinois, where I’m continuing to build hands‑on experience. Since January, I’ve worked as a Cat Care Volunteer at the Champaign PetSmart, helping with daily care, cleaning, and socialization. At home, I have my own cat, Jack!
“Melissa was wonderful and did a great job watching my cat, Sophie. I loved getting the daily checkin cards. Sophie was happy and really seemed to enjoy the company. Her coat was so soft and shiny, she must have enjoyed being brushed as well. Will certainly book again!”

“Annadel and Jose were fantastic again! They accepted our request with short notice and gave our pup extra TLC. When we picked him up, he was in great spirits. They are fantastic caregivers!”
“She was very kind and very accommodating! I was having surgery that day. The time I was going to be let out of the hospital depended on things going as planned. She fine with my being later than I had planned. My brother, who wasn’t so sure about leaving “our” Charlie with someone he didn’t know, picked Charlie up for me and was very pleased with Aratrika and the way she treated our little girl!!! I will definitely be bringing Charlie to Aratrika whenever I need a sitter. Thank you so much taking such good care of my little one!”
“Feiran is an awesome dog sitter. My dog Ben always loved going to her house for day care. Ben used to stay weekly and I always received pictures and videos from walks and play time. Ben was always exhausted and went to bed after day care. Feiran was always very accommodating and I would recommend her to anyone that needs a safe and great environment for their dog. I'd leave Ben with her over any kennel or dog day care facility. Thank you Feiran!”
“Rae is great…Lexi had a fun day getting to know her and the other doggies. She sent me updates and pics which I appreciated! Lexi was happy and relaxed when I picked her up. I will definitely book with Rae again!”

About: I adopted Hanson, a retired guide dog, and he’s now an angel in heaven. He showed me how deep the bond with a dog can be and is the reason I started caring for pets. Over the years, I’ve looked after many dogs for friends and family. I give them lots of love and attention, and every pet I’ve cared for has grown really close to me. I treat each one like they’re my own. Pet care is part of my everyday life. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just spending quality time with them, caring for animals is something I naturally make time for. It’s not just a task—it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to each day. I live alone, so pets get my full attention and a quiet, calm space to relax in. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable—whether that’s sticking to their routine, giving lots of playtime and cuddles, or just being nearby so they don’t feel alone. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow any instructions closely to keep things familiar for their pet.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was around 5 years old. I have experience giving dogs pills, being consistent with training processes, and with senior dog care. I have also taken care of cats. I’m able to take care of dogs and cats in the mornings and evenings during the week and all day on weekends and holidays. I am a homebody so once I get done with work during the day, I am not leaving and play with my animals. I have a fenced in yard with a very friendly dog and cat. If needed, I have a room where I can separate my cat from other dogs to allow non-cat friendly dogs to stay. This room has his food, water, bed, toys, and litter box, while also being one I spend a large amount of time in so he is not lonely. My dog is fed once in the morning and is allowed to eat when he wants to and he runs outside in the backyard when he feels like it. I do adjust how often he gets fed and if he is free feeding when other animals are present. In clients' homes, I follow feeding and care instructions.

About: Hi, I’m Vanessa! I’m currently in college but my family has been fostering dogs since I was in middle school, so I have experience with every kind of dog from 8-week puppies to older dogs to three legged ones! I currently have 2 rescues I help take care of and train, and love volunteering at animal shelters(Chicago Canine and Wright Way) in my free time, so I have a wide variety of experiences when it comes to caring for animals. Whether it be walking one dog or bathing a van load of puppies, I love spending time with all dogs!!!! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time for walks, check-ins, and overnight stays. I’m available during the weekdays and most weekends, and my schedule is very flexible. I have experience with basic dog training classes, and my two dogs are both crate trained so I can follow any dogs schedule, strict or relaxed, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable. I also love to play with them and help them get the physical and mental stimulation they need to be happy and healthy!
About: I bring years of hands-on animal care experience from veterinary clinics, kennels, and long-term pet sitting, including special-needs care for a senior dog who requires diapers, hourly potty breaks, medication management, and a strict diet. My background in veterinary support and my 5-year commitment to caring for three dogs from one family means I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and fully comfortable supporting pets with complex routines. I treat every animal with patience, confidence, and genuine love, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because, with school wrapping up, I have plenty of time to focus on consistent, reliable visits. I plan my days around each pet’s needs, keeping feeding, walks, and medications on schedule while balancing a few prior commitments on set days. For the most part, I’m available daily, which allows me to offer flexible booking, dependable check-ins, and attentive pet-focused care that never feels rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly, keeping feeding, meds, and potty schedules consistent while maintaining a calm, clean environment. I provide gentle companionship, monitor behavior and health closely, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and reassured. My goal is to respect the home, reduce stress, and ensure every pet feels safe and understood.
“Melissa really came through for Mary and I, very available and accommodating to our care needs and schedule. She has communicated promptly and thoroughly, and most importantly Mary was really well cared for and happy to have made a new friend :)”
“I’m so grateful to have found Sarah and to have her walking my dog when I have long work days. My senior dog has gotten even more finicky as she’s aged, and Sarah totally follows her lead on whether she wants a longer walk or some extra belly rubs each day, and Sarah keeps me posted on how Ava is doing during the day. It’s such a relief and gives me so much peace of mind!”
About: I have experience pet-sitting dogs from spry puppies to gentle giants and everything in between! I have been tasked with playtime, feeding time, and check-ins during the day. I'm currently working part-time, so I will be available for services before 1 pm and after 4 pm during weekdays and all day on the weekends. I have experience walking larger dogs and managing older dog's needs when exercising as well as maintaining a calm environment for anxious and/or older pets.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters? I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s a slow walk for an older pup or high-energy playtime for a young one, I meet animals where they are. I have two dogs of my own—Theo and Sage—so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. Beyond personal experience, I have a BA in animal science and I’m currently in the process of earning my master’s degree in Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication, with a focus on companion animals. I also work as an assistant educator, so I bring a calm, thoughtful approach to every visit. I’m confident administering medications, caring for nervous or senior pets, and yes—I genuinely don’t mind deep-cleaning litter boxes. I treat every animal like family, with patience, care, and a whole lot of love I’m currently working full time until 3pm. However Whether it’s morning walks, meal times, or evening play sessions, I’m used to planning my day around pets’ needs. I live in a three-story townhouse with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable—whether they want to play or have their own quiet area. My own dogs are friendly, but I can easily keep pets separate if needed. I also have some dog training experience, so I’m confident handling different temperaments and routines. Your pet will be safe, loved, and well cared for here or in your home! I do ask that your pet be crate trained and doesn't bark in the crate since I do live very close to neighbors.

I am also an animal sciences major, which has provided me with a wide variety of experiences with both companion, farm and exotic animals. I am basically free to take care of your pets throughout the entire summer in the area. So I am able to make pet care part of my daily routine. I can easily crate your pets and can make sure they aren’t getting into anything that isn’t good for them. I have also studied animal behavior in class, so I will be able to read your pet’s cues.

About: Hello! I've enjoyed working with animals for all of my life. I have lived in the Champaign area at various times over the past 10 years with my father. I have not had experience working on Rover before but I'm looking forward to helping pet owners in the area! I recently moved back from Japan, so I've been searching for temporary employment in the Champaign area before starting graduate school in the fall. I have time available during the day, evenings and on weekends to provide care for pets. I can follow instructions on what care you need for your pet! I am not able to offer care in my own home, but I'm happy to do what it takes to meet your needs.
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: My goal in life is to be your pets newest best friend. I have had experience with my very vocal and fat beagle that is 6. As well as a retired belgian malinois bomb dog that is 10. I can play fetch for hours, play games, or sit and cuddle a coach potato. I can be at your door anytime I do not have class at my flight school! I work part time at a coffee shop but my hours are very low because of school. I would really like pet sitting to be my job instead as I transition into this. I am attending a flight school to become a pilot. I am there just for a few hours a day through the week. But any chance I get I will pet sit! Since having experience with dogs and cats. I understand I am a visitor in THEIR home. I will make sure I do not intrude and make each visit a positive time. Walking, crating, potty breaks, a good cuddle and pet are all things I will do 100%. I also am at deep cleaning typical litter boxes, and can clean crates as well. If you have a fenced in yard I will play for hours. I love to walk dogs as long as they can be walked safely! Cats are pretty independent but I would love to come pay them attention!
“Mark did a great job walking our 80# Great Pyrenees puppy. We hope to hire him again in the future. It was a bit of adjustment for the puppy, meeting and getting used to Mark; Mark took it all in stride.”
About: I love love love dogs, but they are a big commitment! And somehow, i became everyone's favorite cat auntie too. I have had three cats that had been rehomed at least once prior to coming to live with me. But dogs have my heart. To get my dog fix, I often care for my friends' dogs, walking, feeding, and pet sitting them. I have lived with, cared for and feel comfortable with a variety of breeds, small and large. I work from home and could walk doggos before and after work and on my lunch hour. Happy to work from your place if pet sitting. I have a daughter with autism and I have learned how important it is to see and listen to her and try to understand her needs. I think animals are the same way. They can tell when we aren't paying attention. I try to make sure im connecting with animals in the same way I might with a small person who is seeking my attention.

“Meghan took great care of our three greyhounds for the weekend! From our one still in the crazy, destructive puppy phase to the old guy that just wants to cuddle on the couch. She handled their meds and feeding fantastic. Will happily book with her again and recommend to anyone!”
“Feiran and her family loved our pup throughout his week and a half with them. Feiran is professional but relaxed, sent us at least one video a day of our bat playing with his new friends. We definitely recommend her for boarding services 🧡”
“Katherine did an excellent job of taking care of my Winnie, a large, athletic dog who craves attention from people. Katherine kept her engaged, playing games with her and throwing the ball in the backyard. She clearly has a lot of experience with dogs. Winnie came home a very happy pup.”
“Rae is a fantastic sitter! I've never felt more sure and comfortable about leaving my Izzy with anyone more than Rae and Maya. Very responsive to messages, and gives great updates with photos and videos - No anxiety here about how my dog is doing! And this last visit, Izzy was so exhausted she passed out when we got home (awesome for unloading our stuff from the trip). This is our second time using Rae's services, and we'll definitely be using her again! Thank you, Rae and Maya!”
“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”
“Rachel clearly loves animals, and did an excellent job of sending pictures and keeping us updated! Also, her cat Henry is so chill and friendly, and our Tessa had an excellent time with both of them. We'll definitely rebook with Rachel!”
“Rose was absolutely amazing with our dog! She’s so responsive and sweet. She sent us pictures and videos, and just made everything so seamless. We cannot wait to use her again!”
“Ryan was an amazing sitter! He picked my baby up on a major holiday while another sitter fell through! I deeply appreciate him and would be booking in the future! Thank you again! 10/10 recommend!”
“Lainey agreed to board my Golden and Aussie last minute and she did a phenomenal job! My Aussie does not like new people and struggles with severe anxiety and fear aggression. I was honest about his behaviors upfront and not once did she seem scared, which is so uncommon, even at dog boarding facilities. Because of her passion for animals, managing behaviors, and training, he had a successful stay and I could enjoy time away without worrying constantly. I can't begin to explain how freeing and relieving that was! I will be using Lainey in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Lainey!! You are such a blessing!”
“Marissa was fabulous, so sweet, and did a great job taking care of my dog Gus. Communication was great and she sent me updates and pictures while I was away. I highly recommend using Marissa and will definitely rebook for my next trip.”
“This was our second time boarding with Brittany, and we will be back! She takes the best pictures and gives us daily updates, and our pup was SO excited to see her when we dropped her off!”
About: Experience with dog care especially with walking and boarding. I have also worked at a dog daycare center where I was able to know about pet hygiene and cleaning. I am working part time. I can work mostly on evenings and late afternoons during the week and a full schedule for weekends. I can also be flexible with my schedule as needed I make sure to have a clean apartment for the pets. I do not have a yard but we have an open space for pets to roam freely
“Christina did a great job watching our pup Royal! She’s a great disciplinary and nurturer! She has a comfortable environment for dogs to play and rest! Christina also sent us pictures while we were away to reassure us that Royal was having a great time and that he was safe ! We will definitely be booking with her again !”
“Shaliyah and Ajanya were AMAZING care providers for our Sugar. He is a young, energetic, sweet dog and I wanted to make sure he was in good hands while we were out of town for a few days. They arranged a meet and greet at a nearby park. Both Shaliyah and Ajanya were kind and patient, yet firm with Sugar when needed. They maintained communication with us throughout his stay, sending updates with pictures and videos. They fed him, played with him, cuddled him, even practiced some commands with him and treated him like part of the family. Sugar was able to make some new doggie buddies, which I had been hoping for. He enjoyed time with their lovelies, Snipper and Ava. I highly recommend Shaliyah and Ajanya as your next boarder/sitter team!”
