“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”
“Melanie has been so wonderful with our 6 year old husky! Very responsive, sends lots of pictures, takes her for walks and gives lots of cuddles. She treats Mavis like family and we couldn't be more thrilled having Mavis stay with her!”
“I highly recommend Caitlins dog boarding service. Axel had a good time during his stay. Axel normally gets anxious in a new place and with new people but Caitlin made him feel at ease during his entire visit , which also made me enjoy my vacation because I am not worried about my little Axel’s well being. I appreciate all the pictures and the report that she gives you at the end of the day with all the details about how much he ate, how many times he went outside and the potty breaks. Caitlin, Thank you so much for taking care of my little baby…”
“Hannah was super accommodating and flexible with our day before boarding request! Then throughout the stay she provided us with pictures and updates of our fur baby! This was our first time boarding our boy in years after a few bad experiences and we felt very reassured that this time we found someone attentive and caring! Would definitely book with her again!”
“She did so well with the dogs, the updates we received during their stay were amazing! She was so accommodating and we appreciated that so much, thank you again for taking them in for the weekend!”
“Aratrika was absolutely wonderful with our senior cocker spaniel. She helped him through his separation anxiety and was fantastic with communication, updates, and adorable photos and video. She also saved us with a super last minute booking. We are so appreciative! Highly recommend! Thank you!”
“Feiran was amazing! Kept us posted all the time and sent videos and photos! My dog had such a good time playing with other dogs and was exhausted for two days after😅”
About: Hey everyone, my name is Aric. I am originally from Peoria, Illinois but live in Champaign, Illinois. I have had dogs and cats my entire life. We get along great. Currently, I have one dog and two cats of my own. I have extra space in my house and am able to keep Rover animals separate. Please read all of my profile and contact me before requesting a service. One important thing to know is that Rover adds additional booking fees to my rates. If you can pay directly via Cashapp, Venmo, or Zelle, my rates will be lower than what is listed. Or, if you prefer to still use Rover for payments, that is ok. Send me a message if you have any questions. Hola a todos, me llamo Aric (Eric con A) y muchas personas que hablan el español me llaman mi segundo nombre Enrike (Enrique con K). Soy de Peoria, Illinois y vivo en Champaign, Illinois. He tenido perros y gatos toda mi vida. Nos llevamos muy bien. Actualmente, tengo una perra y dos gatos. Tengo espacio adicional en casa y puedo mantener separados a los animales de Rover. Por favor, que usted lea todo mi perfil y comuníquese conmigo antes de solicitar un servicio. Un detalle importante que usted necesita saber es que Rover añade cargos adicionales a mis precios. Si puedes pagar directamente a través de Cashapp, Venmo o Zelle, mis precios serán más bajos que los publicados. O, si prefiere seguir usando Rover para enviar los pagos, también está bien. Envíeme un mensaje si tiene alguna pregunta. I take great care of my animals every day. I am very good with structed routines for me and my animals. Currently, my dog and two cats live with me. I replenish their food and water twice each day and socialize with them every day. Drop-In Visits: I am very flexible and adaptable to most environments and most needs of my clients and their humans. My profile accurately reflects services and prices. However, there may be some potential flexibility in order to meet the needs of my clients. Please read my entire profile including the introduction area where I mention how Rover adds additional booking fees to my rates. Day Care and/or Boarding: All my animals are up-to-date on vaccines. My cats have had vaccines for rabies and FVRCP. My dog has had vaccines for rabies, canine influenza bivalent (H3N2 and H3N8), distemper, parvo, bordetella, leptospirosis, and lyme disease. While I do not expect you to have all of these for your animals too, I do prefer that your animals are vaccinated for at least rabies and distemper for both dogs and cats as well as bordetella for dogs. Vaccines are very important for the safety, health, and well-being of all of our animals. For similar reasons, for boarding and/or day care, you MUST provide your cage/crate for your animals.
“Meghan is a wonderful dog sitter! She is very responsive and communicates well. She also is friendly, kind, and caring. Our dog loves her, and we look forward to having her sit for us again!”
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
“Rae was lovely. She is easy to communicate with and sent nice updates and pictures daily. Winnie got to enjoy plenty of outside time and was able to play with other dogs during her stay. We would have Rae watch her again.”
“Lyn took great care of our pup while we were on vacation! She sent us videos and pictures every day and our dog really enjoyed playing with Lyn’s dog, Millie! We would definitely use Lyn again!”
“Rachel was fantastic with our senior dog, Flo. Flo has mobility issues and multiple medications, and Rachel took great care of her when we were away. Flo and Rachel's endearing cat became nap buddies. Rachel sent us plenty of feedback and pictures to reassure us that Flo was OK. We would definitely book with Racheal again.”
“Ryan did a great job communicating about my dog while in his care and the meet and greet before the stay was very helpful. Ryan’s dogs are welcoming and it was nice knowing Ryan was home most of the day and able to walk my dog to keep him on a routine.”
About: I am a former healthcare worker with open availability. I used to live on a farm with various animals. Currently in between jobs and looking for a change of pace. I worked overnights for 4yrs and have been in healthcare for 15yrs. I have pretty open availability within reason. I would like a decent heads up to be sure I have the means to accommodate. My routine is very laid back and I watch for signs and cues. I have two dogs of my own. I love caring for and just being around animals. I live in a quiet neighborhod. While I do not have a fenced in yard, I am willing to walk and give attention to each animal in my care.
“Christina is awesome. The minute I met her I recognized such a positive energy with her, and my pup loved her! Not having to board my dog at a kennel made my vacation even better and it’s about the same price! Christina sent pics and updates, TOTES recommend!”
“Sarah was wonderful with my dog Lilia during her two-night stay! She was very friendly and took great care of her, including taking her on walks and sending me photo updates throughout the stay. It was so reassuring to know my dog was happy and in good hands. I would definitely book with Sarah again!”

“I cannot say enough positive things about Hannah! She continues to show her reliability & trustworthiness week in and week out. Our dogs love and trust her very much! With how important they are to us we were very skeptical that we’d be able to find someone who we trusted would lovingly care for them the way they are accustomed to, but we found that with Hannah!”
About: My cats chose me almost 9 years ago by wandering onto our property, and today I simply can't understand how I lived without them! I'm a cat mom through and through, and I know how crucial it is to have someone you can trust caring for your fur babies on days you can't. I'd be honored to meet your little love(s) and learn how to care for them like you do. I'm happy to stop by once or twice a day to feed, brush, play, cuddle - whatever they're used to - so you can focus on your time away.
“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!”
“This is the second time we have had Misty cat sit for us while we’re away for vacation. She has been so amazing and loving to our Kitty. Definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!!”

“Maddie has cared for our cat twice now and is fantastic. So attentive and responsible. Our cat needs lots of love and attention and is always so happy and well-cared for when we return. Next time we go out of town, we will definitely ask Maddie to catsit!”
About: I didn't use to be a cat person till a grumpy old cat chose us as his family and stole my heart🥰 My cat was indoor/ outdoor since that's the life he was used to live so naturally I've gotten lots of "sweet" presents from him over the years (including a half-skinned live bunny rabbit😬). I could accommodate kitties several days of the week, depending on my schedule.
“We love that we can count on Grace to take such great care of our dog Bucky. She is responsible, reliable, great with communication, and goes above and beyond to make sure Bucky is taken care of before leaving. Thanks again Grace!”
About: Welcome to my page! My passion is spreading the love, and we do that by being loving animal owners ourselves. I have been a caregiver for 25 years and have experience with animals small to large, hedgehog to horse. We love them all! My home is a Safe Haven for all or we come by your house where animals feel most at home. We enjoy caring for a variety of animals and sharing toys, walks, and of course belly rubs. It really gives us a happy boost so we seek it out often. Our home is an isolated farm house with plenty of roaming room, no electric fences or shock collars here. Just one on one attention. We are a house of many cards, actually animals. We have two dogs, 4 fish, 60 birds including chickens, Guinea fowl, and ducks. We’ve been blessed with the opportunity to help rescue and release some back yard birds like doves and finches. We really do have a niche for this! I'm currently a stay at home mom of kids and animals. During the day I’m available to come by and say hi, or you can drop off and pick up around your work schedule. We live in an isolated area in the country(only 3 neighbors within a mile). No fence but we do have a lead if needed and we are always outside with our puppy playing and running. Animals are allowed to sleep on the floors or in my bed. We do have crates when necessary and we only give pure freeze dried liver as treats.
About: I have more than two decades with dogs and cats, both owning, walking, basic training, blind and deaf. I have a poop removal service for years. Additionally, I have almost a decade of efficient skill sets with farm pets, pigs, cows, horses, fowl, etc. Currently want to be of service where needed. I am available for early morning walks or visits, play dates, park trips. Available to continue pursuing my goals. I have four years of military experience and a keen eye for my surroundings, knowing the city and surrounding areas well, a safe and efficient walk/visit/play time is always promised.
“Ben was fantastic watching our 2 kitties. He even gave me the best tip for cutting medications up that I will share with everyone I know! I will definitely rebook for any other future visits.”
About: Fostering for a local shelter has taught me how to care for cats of all kinds and needs including those with illness who need medication, young kittens, and those who are not used to being around others.

“Caitlin is AMAZING!!!! She went above and beyond to make sure our shy 4 mo old pup felt welcome and loved in her home! She took him on multiple walks while he was there and even had him on a walk right before we arrived so he would have pottied when we got there for our drive home!!! She sent me so many pictures throughout the day of all the fun things he was doing and cuddles he was receiving! She was so thorough on pup’s report card letting us know how many times he went potty, when he ate, and how long the walks were! I could go on and on about how amazing she is! I would leave my pup with her in a heart beat and we will be going back!!!! Thank you Caitlin! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Aratrika was amazing! She accepted the day care with very little time in advance, she sent a lot of pictures and took a really good care of my puppy 🥰 I definitely recommend her!”
“Megan and Eric were so easy to work with! Communication and booking were a breeze, and our dog was super happy at drop off and pickup. Great people with a perfect setup for your pet. Definitely recommend!”
“Feiran was amazing! Highly recommend! Lupa, our Husky, is a shy girl and can be overwhelmed with a pack of dogs, but loves humans. Feiran and her husband took time to let her become comfortable. Feiran also sent a ton of videos and pictures of both Lupa and Patches during the day care. And most importantly both dogs loved it. They were so exhausted when we picked them up that they immediately fell asleep on the drive home. This was a great experience and I will be booking again for day care and an upcoming vacation. Thanks Feiran!”
“Rae took our pup on Thanksgiving day, and we had a great experience! She was very responsive and flexible, sent numerous adorable picture and video updates throughout the day, and made sure he got plenty of walks! Our dog, who can be anxious around new people, seemed to really enjoy his time at Rae’s house! Highly recommend Rae!”

About: Hi! My name is Marissa. I’ve been caring for dogs for 11 years—starting with puppies at age 14. I have experience with all ages, including senior dogs needing extra patience, comfort, and medications. I’m reliable, gentle, and treat every dog like family. Whether it’s playful walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, your pup will be safe, loved, and well-cared for with me! I also have experience in feeding, handling and caring for bearded dragons. I’m a part-time hairstylist with a flexible schedule! I’m available for overnight care after 4 PM Tuesday–Saturday, and fully open on Sundays and Mondays (my weekend). I can also occasionally fit in midday walks, drop-ins, or medication visits between appointments during the week—just reach out to check! Your pet’s care always comes first. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with no other animals in the home—perfect for pets who need one-on-one attention. I understand how much your furry family member means to you, especially after recently losing my own beloved dog. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care I gave my own, ensuring they feel safe, secure, and right at home. I also have a pet car seat and stroller holding up to 30lbs to ensure the most comfortably and safety for your fur baby.

About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. As a child, I had pet sheep, rabbits, dogs, cats, and cows. As an adult, I have always had cats. My 20 year old long hair cat just passed away in January. It was heartbreaking. I miss him dearly. We loved our guy so much. In his last 5 yrs, I spent many hours catering to his elderly issues. Medications and night yowling were issues that I happily took care of as he lived out his twilight years. I have a soft spot for all animals as they go through all stages of life :) I work from home and set my own hours, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am open to many kinds of arrangements- one time sitting, a weekly routine, daily walks, weekends, etc. I am extremely fortunate to have a flexible schedule. My teen daughter and I live in a large 4 bedroom home, so we have tons of space to accommodate furry friends who need company. We do not have a fenced in yard, but our neighborhood is great for long walks. Our neighborhood has trails through the woods and a home owner’s association that maintains the trails. We have lots of fun walking the trails. I am an avid jogger/walker. I go out everyday, regardless of the weather. I have a very active lifestyle! We recently adopted a cat, but he stays in his own area on a different level of the house. He has claimed my daughter as his and lives in her room. When dogs come to stay with us, he typically stays in his room & pups never see him, although he has made friends with some of our regularly visiting pups 😊 I have a very flexible work schedule. When I do have to be away from home for work, I am gone about 2-3 hrs at a time. My daughter is at home often and also helps with pups. She is great with animals! We both like to take frequent walks throughout the day! In my home, I have a large open floor plan with tons of windows. During the day, I like to have pups next to me in my office, but some like to lay in prime viewing area of all the windows.
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 grew up with animals of all kinds and love to be around them. I have experience with all kinds and ages, from newborn to super seniors.

With drop in care, I will be sure to administer medications, feed, water, and groom as instructed as well as cleaning litter boxes and extra gifts, and, of course, providing desired attention.

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.

I have been a caregiver for 25 years and have experience with animals small to large, hedgehog to horse. We love them all! My home is a Safe Haven for all or we come by your house where animals feel most at home. We enjoy caring for a variety of animals and sharing toys, walks, and of course belly rubs. It really gives us a happy boost so we seek it out often. Our home is an isolated farm house with plenty of roaming room, no electric fences or shock collars here. Just one on one attention. We are a house of many cards, actually animals. We have two dogs, 4 fish, 60 birds including chickens, Guinea fowl, and ducks. We’ve been blessed with the opportunity to help rescue and release some back yard birds like doves and finches. We really do have a niche for this! I'm currently a stay at home mom of kids and animals. During the day I’m available to come by and say hi, or you can drop off and pick up around your work schedule. We live in an isolated area in the country(only 3 neighbors within a mile). No fence but we do have a lead if needed and we are always outside with our puppy playing and running. Animals are allowed to sleep on the floors or in my bed. We do have crates when necessary and we only give pure freeze dried liver as treats.
About: I have been casually pet sitting for people for several years now! I am ready to up my game and start taking care of people's pets professionally. I absolutely will do everything in my power to make sure your pets are taken care of in the BEST way possible! I can take dogs on walks, babysit cats, check in on pets, watch your pets, feed your pets, and more! I love all dogs and cats, big and small, and will make sure that your pet is well taken care of. I do know this is mostly for dogs/cats but I am able to farm sit as well. Feel free to reach out to me at any point. I am also willing to send pictures of your pets to you while you are away! I have no issue with daily, or even hourly, updates! Thank you for considering me!
About: What sets me apart is my real, everyday experience caring for animals. I handle high-energy dogs like my Belgian Malinois, volunteer at shelters, and provide patient, loving, reliable care. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine with college. I make time to walk, play with, and care for dogs because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and helping with pet sitting. At a client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I give plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship, and make sure they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away.
About: I've been a dog mom to s pit/lab mix and currently a pit/Cane Corso mix. He's a sweet boy who loves eveyone and is both active but also likes his daily naps. I work 3 days of the week so on my days off I'm available for walks/drop-in visits or boarding. Aslan would love to have someone to play with😊 I have a fenced yard and a doggy door which makes it easy for quick potty breaks and playtime. I enjoy taking my dude on hiking the trails at a park or to a dog park to run off his energy and take great naps after. I also spend a lot of time playing and training Aslan. Communication with animals is important to me and making sure their needs are met. Treats are on the daily menu!
About: I have more than two decades with dogs and cats, both owning, walking, basic training, blind and deaf. I have a poop removal service for years. Additionally, I have almost a decade of efficient skill sets with farm pets, pigs, cows, horses, fowl, etc. Currently want to be of service where needed. I am available for early morning walks or visits, play dates, park trips. Available to continue pursuing my goals. I have four years of military experience and a keen eye for my surroundings, knowing the city and surrounding areas well, a safe and efficient walk/visit/play time is always promised.
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.
“We needed help with our pup last minute and Misty was quick to respond and willing to work with our schedule. During the meet and greet I could tell she was very comfortable with animals as well as knowledgable. Overall Misty was amazing to work with and I felt at ease knowing our fur baby was in good hands.”
“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!!”
About: As a foster parent for a local animal shelter, I love giving our four legged friends a safe and welcoming place to call their own. I have fostered over 2 dozen animals in my home and have experience with crate training, potty training, basic needs and socialization as well. I’m currently working as a full time teacher, but have a lunch break daily in which I can come home and give the furry friends a potty break and some play time. I do not have a fenced in yard, so I take the animals in my home on multiple daily walks using a leash and harness.
About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. As a child, I had pet sheep, rabbits, dogs, cats, and cows. As an adult, I have always had cats. My 20 year old long hair cat just passed away in January. It was heartbreaking. I miss him dearly. We loved our guy so much. In his last 5 yrs, I spent many hours catering to his elderly issues. Medications and night yowling were issues that I happily took care of as he lived out his twilight years. I have a soft spot for all animals as they go through all stages of life :) I work from home and set my own hours, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am open to many kinds of arrangements- one time sitting, a weekly routine, daily walks, weekends, etc. I am extremely fortunate to have a flexible schedule. My teen daughter and I live in a large 4 bedroom home, so we have tons of space to accommodate furry friends who need company. We do not have a fenced in yard, but our neighborhood is great for long walks. Our neighborhood has trails through the woods and a home owner’s association that maintains the trails. We have lots of fun walking the trails. I am an avid jogger/walker. I go out everyday, regardless of the weather. I have a very active lifestyle! We recently adopted a cat, but he stays in his own area on a different level of the house. He has claimed my daughter as his and lives in her room. When dogs come to stay with us, he typically stays in his room & pups never see him, although he has made friends with some of our regularly visiting pups 😊 I have a very flexible work schedule. When I do have to be away from home for work, I am gone about 2-3 hrs at a time. My daughter is at home often and also helps with pups. She is great with animals! We both like to take frequent walks throughout the day! In my home, I have a large open floor plan with tons of windows. During the day, I like to have pups next to me in my office, but some like to lay in prime viewing area of all the windows.

“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”
“Melanie has been so wonderful with our 6 year old husky! Very responsive, sends lots of pictures, takes her for walks and gives lots of cuddles. She treats Mavis like family and we couldn't be more thrilled having Mavis stay with her!”
“Hannah was super accommodating and flexible with our day before boarding request! Then throughout the stay she provided us with pictures and updates of our fur baby! This was our first time boarding our boy in years after a few bad experiences and we felt very reassured that this time we found someone attentive and caring! Would definitely book with her again!”
“She did so well with the dogs, the updates we received during their stay were amazing! She was so accommodating and we appreciated that so much, thank you again for taking them in for the weekend!”
“Feiran was amazing! Kept us posted all the time and sent videos and photos! My dog had such a good time playing with other dogs and was exhausted for two days after😅”
About: Hey everyone, my name is Aric. I am originally from Peoria, Illinois but live in Champaign, Illinois. I have had dogs and cats my entire life. We get along great. Currently, I have one dog and two cats of my own. I have extra space in my house and am able to keep Rover animals separate. Please read all of my profile and contact me before requesting a service. One important thing to know is that Rover adds additional booking fees to my rates. If you can pay directly via Cashapp, Venmo, or Zelle, my rates will be lower than what is listed. Or, if you prefer to still use Rover for payments, that is ok. Send me a message if you have any questions. Hola a todos, me llamo Aric (Eric con A) y muchas personas que hablan el español me llaman mi segundo nombre Enrike (Enrique con K). Soy de Peoria, Illinois y vivo en Champaign, Illinois. He tenido perros y gatos toda mi vida. Nos llevamos muy bien. Actualmente, tengo una perra y dos gatos. Tengo espacio adicional en casa y puedo mantener separados a los animales de Rover. Por favor, que usted lea todo mi perfil y comuníquese conmigo antes de solicitar un servicio. Un detalle importante que usted necesita saber es que Rover añade cargos adicionales a mis precios. Si puedes pagar directamente a través de Cashapp, Venmo o Zelle, mis precios serán más bajos que los publicados. O, si prefiere seguir usando Rover para enviar los pagos, también está bien. Envíeme un mensaje si tiene alguna pregunta. I take great care of my animals every day. I am very good with structed routines for me and my animals. Currently, my dog and two cats live with me. I replenish their food and water twice each day and socialize with them every day. Drop-In Visits: I am very flexible and adaptable to most environments and most needs of my clients and their humans. My profile accurately reflects services and prices. However, there may be some potential flexibility in order to meet the needs of my clients. Please read my entire profile including the introduction area where I mention how Rover adds additional booking fees to my rates. Day Care and/or Boarding: All my animals are up-to-date on vaccines. My cats have had vaccines for rabies and FVRCP. My dog has had vaccines for rabies, canine influenza bivalent (H3N2 and H3N8), distemper, parvo, bordetella, leptospirosis, and lyme disease. While I do not expect you to have all of these for your animals too, I do prefer that your animals are vaccinated for at least rabies and distemper for both dogs and cats as well as bordetella for dogs. Vaccines are very important for the safety, health, and well-being of all of our animals. For similar reasons, for boarding and/or day care, you MUST provide your cage/crate for your animals.
“Meghan is a wonderful dog sitter! She is very responsive and communicates well. She also is friendly, kind, and caring. Our dog loves her, and we look forward to having her sit for us again!”
“Rae was lovely. She is easy to communicate with and sent nice updates and pictures daily. Winnie got to enjoy plenty of outside time and was able to play with other dogs during her stay. We would have Rae watch her again.”
“Rachel was fantastic with our senior dog, Flo. Flo has mobility issues and multiple medications, and Rachel took great care of her when we were away. Flo and Rachel's endearing cat became nap buddies. Rachel sent us plenty of feedback and pictures to reassure us that Flo was OK. We would definitely book with Racheal again.”
“Ryan did a great job communicating about my dog while in his care and the meet and greet before the stay was very helpful. Ryan’s dogs are welcoming and it was nice knowing Ryan was home most of the day and able to walk my dog to keep him on a routine.”
About: I am a former healthcare worker with open availability. I used to live on a farm with various animals. Currently in between jobs and looking for a change of pace. I worked overnights for 4yrs and have been in healthcare for 15yrs. I have pretty open availability within reason. I would like a decent heads up to be sure I have the means to accommodate. My routine is very laid back and I watch for signs and cues. I have two dogs of my own. I love caring for and just being around animals. I live in a quiet neighborhod. While I do not have a fenced in yard, I am willing to walk and give attention to each animal in my care.
“Christina is awesome. The minute I met her I recognized such a positive energy with her, and my pup loved her! Not having to board my dog at a kennel made my vacation even better and it’s about the same price! Christina sent pics and updates, TOTES recommend!”

“Ishaan and Da Yeon have watched my baby Jackie many times and I can truly say they've become my favorite people mainly over our shared love for my dog. They treat her like their own, and she is genuinely so happy and excited to see them every time we go to drop her off. They give frequent updates where they show how well they integrate her into their routine. She is a 70 pound great pyrenees and Ishaan has sent us pictures of her chilling on his lap while he works at his home office. He has taught me how to handle her on the leash better without being pushy about knowing what's best for my dog, although he is very qualified to handle dogs and could probably teach us all a thing or two. They're the best choice in Champaign-Urbanna hands down! Great people!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for my older grandparents before and I’ve had my dog for 5 years now. I am experienced with dogs and also cats. I work full time at home so I am home a lot to take care of your animals if they need somewhere to stay! I have a dog who is a Labrador retriever who is very friendly with all animals and people! I have a fenced in yard. I will give them enough outside time along with enough potty breaks and always have water available to them!
“Michelle did such a wonderful job taking care of my dog when I had to travel for work. It was always stressful for me if I had to travel and worry about my dogs but Michelle made it so easy for me this time. She’s so awesome communicating on scheduling and understanding how to take better care of my dogs. During the stay, doggos looked really happy and stress less from tons of wonderful pictures she sent to me. It’s not hard to tell that she truly cares for my dogs! I’ll definitely go back to her!”
“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!”
