“Makinzee was very easy to communicate with and was quite responsive with updates on how my dog was doing with photos. My dog had a lot of fun playing around with the kids in the house and the other dogs. He came back home better groomed as well. I would definitely trust Makinzee with Java again.”
“We left our fur babies for a week with Caitlin while we went on vacation and as always she’s wonderful!!! Both our babies were taken care of, snuggled and we were sent updates and pictures often! We will forever trust Caitlin and will return whenever we need care in the future!”
“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 :)”
“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!”
“Meghan took care of our dog while we are traveling over the holidays. When we had a family emergency come up and couldn't get back, she kindly offered to continue looking after him. We appreciate knowing that our dog is well taken care of in a difficult time. Will definitely book again.”
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.
“Rae is an amazing pet sitter. Benny had a ball there! When I picked him up they were out on a walk! At least one photo or video a day -- he looked happy! Very clean/tidy home, and a warm welcome for my dog pal! Thanks Rae!”
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.
“She did a very good job caring for my dog. He usually gets a little nervous being in unfamiliar settings which makes him not want to eat as much. She cared enough to still try to get him to eat something during his stay which I do appreciate. I would book again!”
“She was great, friendly and very understanding seeing that it was our first time away from trigger. She made us feel very comfortable. Will recommend to use her service to anyone, I sure will be back. Thanks”
“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.”
About: I have lived with dogs and cats my whole life since I was born with the dogs ranging in sizes from Chihuahuas to Rottweilers. I have volunteered at 2 different animal shelters since I was 15 years old as well as fostered both cats and dogs. I have experience in training young pets from working with my own over the years I work a flexible part-time schedule, meaning I am only away for a few hours at a time during the week. My schedule is completely open on weekends for boarding. Your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks! I live in a spacious apartment within a secure, gated community surrounded by walking trails. My home is a quiet, low-stress environment with just me and my roommate. As a professional caregiver for humans, I am highly experienced in following specific routine instructions and will treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect.
“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!”
“Kellie was wonderful! She was thoughtful and asked all the right questions to make sure she could give my dog Jersey the best care possible. I'll definitely be looking to Kellie for my future pet-sitting needs!”

“A very bad storm came through town while Hannah was doing a drop-in visit with our boys. She made sure to stay with them until the storm passed so they wouldn’t be scared and would feel safe. She even went as far as standing all of our potted plants back up that had blown over outside! Saying Hannah went above and beyond would be an understatement. It means a lot knowing our boys are in the hands of someone who genuinely cares about them and treats them like her own. We couldn’t recommend her more!”
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.
About: I grew up with dogs and have house sat my brother's dog on numerous occasions throughout the time I've been in the Champaign area. I have also house sat cats for a friend back in Indiana. I have also house sat my parents' dog on numerous occasions. Walking dogs of various sizes is no trouble for me, and I honestly just love animals in general. I love to play with them, talk to them, and love on them as if they're my own if people let me! As of right now, I have plenty of time to play with your pets! Unless I have prior commitments, I am unlikely to refuse a request. I grew up with dogs, and I've house sat cats before, as I've mentioned. They always had food, water, playtime, and plenty of love and attention as they saw fit. I treat others' pets as if they're my own
“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!!”

About: I have cared for cats most of my life! I grew up in the country and had about 8 outdoor cats that I cared for growing up. Fast forward to today and my home has 2 wonderful cats that I care for! Both are special needs. PopTart has cerebellar hypoplasia and Lady comes from a former abusive home. I am very well versed in taking on any complex situations that may arise due to my experience with my special needs cats. I have loved cats for my whole life. Many cats I have met left a lasting impression on me. I remember all of their names. PopTart, Lady, Kellogg, Waffles, Buttercup, Lucy, Tigger, and the list goes on. I hope to add your cat to the list of cats that have changed my life!
“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: I have grown up with multiple cats and spent years working with cats of all ages, temperaments, and breeds. Between my hands-on shelter work, fostering, and personal life, I provide a calm, knowledgeable, and safe environment for your kitties.
“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: 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.
About: Fur babies are my life … No literally! 🤗Located in GRIDLEY- We offer Pickup/Dropoff services! I’m a Veterinarian Assistant so caring for your pet is literally what I do, what I love.🥰 I do pick ups and drop offs !! I work in VETMED at a local Veterinary clinic part time . So that gives me tons of extra time during the week. I also do drop in during my work day as well. !! I have a fenced in yard and a very nice fur baby to keep your fur baby company. I do also have created if needed.

“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!”
“We booked Ben for 2 weeks and when we came back our pets (2 cats) and our house were in perfect condition, just like we left them. They were in perfect health and had no behavioral issues. We were nervous of course but with Ben we had nothing to be worried about. He is very responsive and courteous to texts and questions. Will hire again and again!”
About: I use to work with kids so nothing suprises me and I'm very good under pressure. I always find another way. I love all animals I'll even watch your other pets. I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, birds, and etc just ask. I'm always willing to learn. I will also work with dogs of all kinds even special needs of any kind or just special stuff needed to be done with them. A month and a half after getting my puppy she jumped out of my sister arms so I had a energized mini aussie on my hands that had to wear a splint for her broken leg. I'm ready for any challenge I work 38/40 hour weeks so I would pet sit before my shifts; after my shifts. If in Pontiac I would also do it during my hour lunch if needed It’s been years since I was an “official” pet sitter but really whatever the animal needs I am willing to do. Every animal needs slightly different care

“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! ❤️❤️❤️”

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.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15 years old for family and friends. I have experience with overnight stays at clients' houses as well as boarding at my own house and experience with puppies and senior dogs. I live an active lifestyle and love going for walks and runs with your furry friend. It is my goal to give your pet the exceptional care they'd receive from their own owner and love them well while you're away! I am home for the majority of the day during the week and have frequent weekend availability as well. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to assist at all hours of the day. I have an unfenced yard, but live close to walking trails and in a quiet neighborhood. I have children who adore dogs and look forward to being around them. Our sunroom is a great place for your animal to curl up and enjoy a nap in the sunshine.
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!

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 like most sitters, love all animals and have always been a big animal person. My strongest skills would be senior care. I have taken care of a lot of senior dogs and cats over the years. I myself also have a senior dog. My senior dog also has epilepsy. She’s medicated, but still has seizure semi often so given that I’ve also gained skills in administrating medicine and also dealing well with stressful situations with a pet. I also do have experience sitting puppies and younger dogs so I’m also very comfortable with more energetic dogs that want play and adventure. I’m a dependable sitter and I’m confident that I can care for and love on your pet just like you would when you’re not able to. I currently have a very free schedule and have pretty much open availability most weeks or in general I am able to be pretty flexible. I provide a safe, clean, and stress-free environment for all pets I care for. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and routines. I make sure pets always have fresh water, supervision, and a secure environment, while also keeping the client’s home clean, respectful, and secure at all times.
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. Two of my childhood dogs required medication, I have experience administering injections and oral medications. I also have experience administering topical and oral medications to cats. I have few routine obligations and will likely be able to make any pet sitting requests a priority. I am generally available from about 8:30am until 11pm every day. I can stop by on whatever schedule you desire and interact with your pet(s) as close to the way you would as I can. My goal is to provide care as similar to yours as possible so that your pet is comfortable and enjoys their time with me. 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 will respect your rules, your home, and your privacy. With dog walking, I will do my best to make sure they stay safe and comfortable while having a great time and getting plenty of exercise. I love a good walk, and they are so much better with a companion!

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: Fur babies are my life … No literally! 🤗Located in GRIDLEY- We offer Pickup/Dropoff services! I’m a Veterinarian Assistant so caring for your pet is literally what I do, what I love.🥰 I do pick ups and drop offs !! I work in VETMED at a local Veterinary clinic part time . So that gives me tons of extra time during the week. I also do drop in during my work day as well. !! I have a fenced in yard and a very nice fur baby to keep your fur baby company. I do also have created if needed.
“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.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have house sat my brother's dog on numerous occasions throughout the time I've been in the Champaign area. I have also house sat cats for a friend back in Indiana. I have also house sat my parents' dog on numerous occasions. Walking dogs of various sizes is no trouble for me, and I honestly just love animals in general. I love to play with them, talk to them, and love on them as if they're my own if people let me! As of right now, I have plenty of time to play with your pets! Unless I have prior commitments, I am unlikely to refuse a request. I grew up with dogs, and I've house sat cats before, as I've mentioned. They always had food, water, playtime, and plenty of love and attention as they saw fit. I treat others' pets as if they're my own
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 have been around animals my whole life, I got my own dog when I was in elementary school and he still means the world to me this day. I always took the initiative to care for my pets growing up and that’s carried into my adult life as well. I think expressing love to animals is so important because we’re all they have. I have a dog myself and he is my world. Your fur babes deserve all the love in the world and I’d love to give it to them! I have many years of experience caring for dogs and I’m very confident in the care I can provide! Having my sweet pup Smokey means the most to me and I’m so happy to be a full time dog mom ❤️ I hope to be the perfect fit as a sitter for you! I am a full time stay at home wife/dog mom. I have nothing but time on my hands and would love to share it with you and your pet(s)! I do not currently offer services in my home due to the lack of space. However, I would love to care for your pets in your home!
About: I have lived with dogs and cats my whole life since I was born with the dogs ranging in sizes from Chihuahuas to Rottweilers. I have volunteered at 2 different animal shelters since I was 15 years old as well as fostered both cats and dogs. I have experience in training young pets from working with my own over the years I work a flexible part-time schedule, meaning I am only away for a few hours at a time during the week. My schedule is completely open on weekends for boarding. Your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks! I live in a spacious apartment within a secure, gated community surrounded by walking trails. My home is a quiet, low-stress environment with just me and my roommate. As a professional caregiver for humans, I am highly experienced in following specific routine instructions and will treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect.
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: 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: Hi! I’m an animal lover with over 12 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether a playful pup, a senior dog with special needs, or a shy rescue, I take the time to understand and connect with each pet. I’ve worked in professional dog day cares, groomers, and veterinary clinics. I am comfortable with everything from high-energy play to gentle care for nervous or senior pets. I’m also experienced with a wide range of training styles and behavior types, and I adapt easily to your pet’s unique routine. Over the years, I’ve looked after the pets of friends and family many times, and I used to have a sweet Russian Blue cat of my own ( pictured in my profile!). I genuinely love caring for animals, and I’ve often been told I have a calm, natural way with them—and that people feel confident trusting me with their furry family members. Whether you need help with a dog, cat, puppy, or senior, I’m here to give them the same love, care, and attention I’d give my own. I strive to make scheduling easy and stress-free with a flexible calendar and open, reliable communication. Whether you’re planning ahead or need last-minute pet care, I’m happy to work around your schedule and ensure your pet’s needs always come first. I am dedicated to caring for your pet in their/your space. Reliable, attentive, and respectful, I treat every animal like family and keep you updated. References available upon request.
About: I use to work with kids so nothing suprises me and I'm very good under pressure. I always find another way. I love all animals I'll even watch your other pets. I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, birds, and etc just ask. I'm always willing to learn. I will also work with dogs of all kinds even special needs of any kind or just special stuff needed to be done with them. A month and a half after getting my puppy she jumped out of my sister arms so I had a energized mini aussie on my hands that had to wear a splint for her broken leg. I'm ready for any challenge I work 38/40 hour weeks so I would pet sit before my shifts; after my shifts. If in Pontiac I would also do it during my hour lunch if needed It’s been years since I was an “official” pet sitter but really whatever the animal needs I am willing to do. Every animal needs slightly different care
“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: 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 started pet sitting when I worked at my first vet clinic. And, because I love animals so much, I have never stopped. I grew up with dogs, cats, ducks and every pet in between! Currently, I have 2 dogs, a Jack-Russell mix named Jake and a Beagle mix named Macy. They are extremely pet/people friendly and they love new company! Also, I worked as a veterinary assistant for a a few years, so I am very comfortable with administering medications and taking care of your pets special needs. I will provide whatever accommodations that are needed and I will make sure that your pets feel safe and comfortable. Most of all, I will always keep an open line of communication with you. I know how it feels being away form your pet and I know the importance of regular updates and pics. I look forward to hearing from you and I can’t wait to met your pets! :) 🏡 House Sitting + Boarding 🏡 (Overnight) Evening - Morning; I do offer some flexibility, however there could be an additional fee if check in/out times are drastically different from what I have set. I currently work from home full time. This means I can fully dedicate all of my time to your fur babies and their individual needs. I will care for your pet/pets the same way every single time. And, I will always treat your pet/pets as is if he or she were my own.

“Makinzee was very easy to communicate with and was quite responsive with updates on how my dog was doing with photos. My dog had a lot of fun playing around with the kids in the house and the other dogs. He came back home better groomed as well. I would definitely trust Makinzee with Java 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!”
“Meghan took care of our dog while we are traveling over the holidays. When we had a family emergency come up and couldn't get back, she kindly offered to continue looking after him. We appreciate knowing that our dog is well taken care of in a difficult time. Will definitely book again.”

“Rae is an amazing pet sitter. Benny had a ball there! When I picked him up they were out on a walk! At least one photo or video a day -- he looked happy! Very clean/tidy home, and a warm welcome for my dog pal! Thanks Rae!”
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.
“She did a very good job caring for my dog. He usually gets a little nervous being in unfamiliar settings which makes him not want to eat as much. She cared enough to still try to get him to eat something during his stay which I do appreciate. I would book again!”
“She was great, friendly and very understanding seeing that it was our first time away from trigger. She made us feel very comfortable. Will recommend to use her service to anyone, I sure will be back. Thanks”
“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.”
“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!”
“Ginger looked like she felt right at home at Katherine's. Katherine is very caring, capable and understanding. And I was very comfortable leaving Ginger in her charge. Thank you, Katherine!”
“She knows what she’s doing! Took care of our dogs for four days without any issues and even took them on walks. She sent pictures and updates everyday which really took away any worries we had. Thank you Nina!”
“Christina and Tomb took really good care of Cookies when I had to travel for a weekend. Christina sent me regular updates and pictures of the both of them playing and was very helpful throughout the process. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a dog sitter in the Champaign-Urbana area.”
