I cannot stress enough how AMAZING Hannah was! Not only was she great at communicating with me, but she kept me updated the whole time my puppy was in her care. This was my first time boarding my dog through Rover, and she made it a great first experience. I loved knowing that my puppy was getting well taken care of while I was away. I will definitely be booking with Hannah again(:

We could not be happier in finding Feiran and Jiaxu to watch over our boy. We had plenty of pictures and even videos throughout the day of our boy! It was great to see and knowing how much they take great care of him puts our mind at ease! Their lab, Yami got along wonderfully with Simba too! Feiran was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns that I have. We will definitely be boarding Simba here again. :D

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.

Ryan and his family were very nice. Traveller can be a handful and I hope things weren't too disruptive for them. He was considerate, polite, accessible, and really easy to work with. If I need another sitting job at any time, I'll ask for him first. He's just a nice guy who gets dogs and took care of mine at a time I needed it, and that was great.

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!

About: I’ve been pet sitting dogs for a long time. It started with trusting family members to family friends needing help while they are on vacation. I always have a pet sitting gig at least once a month, so I’m comfortable with everything that comes with dog sitting: giving medicine, walking, feeding, accommodating routines, etc. I have a part time job and I am attending school. My mornings are free as well as my afternoons anytime after 11:30am. I always make time to make sure I take out the pets when needed or communicate when I can’t. I am always willing to stay over to make things easier. I have a dog myself, and I always walk him at least once a day. I follow the routine that we have made for him to make sure he feels safe and comfortable. When I’m taking care of a client’s pet, I make sure I follow whatever guidelines the client gave me, as well as making sure the pets remain comfortable while they are in my care.

About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was a little boy. Not only pets, but the start of this year I started as a Healthcare Tech at Carle hospital taking care of patients. From dogs, to cats, to sugar gliders, you name it, I’ve taken care of. What really made me love dogs especially is when I met my dog I’ve owned for two years Prince. He’s a shiba inu and he’s the most loving/caring puppy you will ever meet. He’s taught me patience, kindness, and love and that’s why I think I’ll be a great fit for this job. Just know that I will do everything I need to do for you and your family to feel safe and comfortable as I watch your pets. Thank you!:) I work as a healthcare tech at Carle hospital so I work three days out the week. I can definitely find the time to play, feed, go on walks, and have fun with your pets! I have a puppy of my own that I’ve had for a year now. I make sure he’s well taken care of. Making sure he’s well fed, walks, play time, cuddle time! It all works out haha:) I’ve taken care of cats also before so I definitely think I will be a great fit to take care of your pets!:)

About: Greetings. First - thank you for considering me and my services! I have been a pet owner all my life, and have been the proud parent of hamsters, fish, cats, dogs, and a rabbit! I'm also a responsible house sitter, having been both a homeowner and a renter, I understand the value of not just your pets, but your possessions, your mail and plants, the cozy space of your home, the relationships with your neighbors. I have provided these services for friends and families for most of my life. I have always loved animals and I have always owned pets, been a member of dog parks and puppy play groups, and I volunteered for the Champaign Humane Society for many years. I have also had pets with medication needs, so I am experienced in that area. For years I also groomed my own dogs, and I know that each pet has its own needs, preferences, and personalities. Finally, I recently lost my dog of 15 years, and although I now live somewhere that does not allow pets, I need animals in my life! From my own experience of being a Rover customer for many years, I also know how important it is to pet sit within your home with no disruption to your pet's routine or surroundings.

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!

Ryan was our first time using Rover and he was awesome! Our silken windhound Maverick loved playing with his border collies. I loved getting updates with pictures of them playing together. It’s so hard to find someone who will do daycare for a non-neutered show dog, even when they have zero behavioral problems. 100% recommend Ryan if you want your pup to have a great day!

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.

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

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: Animals are my passion and caring for them is my kind of fun! The quality of care and love I provide is reflected in my pricing. I have cared for family, friends and my own pets since 2009 - feeding, watering, training and administering medication. I worked for The Animal Hospital of Monticello from December 2021-September 2023 where I cared for many different breeds of cats and dogs, at many different age and health levels. I am familiar with animal first aid and am regularly educating myself on medical concerns/treatments because health is my #1 priority. I also love to learn about animal behavior (of all sorts-I'm very nerdy), enrichment and training because I believe a mentally and physically happy animal is a healthy one. I also have experience caring for exotic animals including guinea pigs, chinchillas, rabbits, and lizards. I am happy to learn the needs of whatever baby I am caring for! I will not board any exotic animal or cats for their safety, but I'm more than happy to provide stop ins! ***If I do not believe I can care for your pet properly for whatever reason, I may have connections to those who do have the ability and I will be happy to help you find a new care giver.*** I am currently caring for two dogs from my home three times a week M,T, Th. They train, play, eat and snuggle with me all day. I also have a twelve year old, so If we humans have errands, vacations or an emergency-I let the pet parents know as far in advance as possible. I have two very friendly Australian Shepherd type dogs, an 12 year old human child, a husband and a cat of my own. (Somehow we all get along!) Your fur baby will have the comfort of lots of friends nearby if they come to stay with us. I do require dogs to be up to date on all vaccinations, dog & cat friendly and kennel trained if boarding with me. (So during quiet times they have a familiar, safe and secure place for them to go if they're feeling overwhelmed, or if I need to separate anyone for any reason. I also believe it's simply safer for the dog in case of an emergency.) All animals are allowed on the furniture and often I will find myself snuggling on the couch with the babies. My family also has knowledge on animal care and handling so your fur baby will be under the best care no matter who is in the room. When stopping in I will spend 30 or 60 minutes with your pet baby (depending on your choice: there is a up charge for 60 minutes) feeding, watering, playing, pottying and walking. When choosing the 60 minutes I will also do basic obedience and manners training with your dog. I could try with cats but I can't guarantee my results. I also love pet photography so taking photos of your babies will be a free service offered along with their stay or stop ins. This will NOT be guaranteed every time.

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.

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: I have cared for many animals in my life from dogs, to geckos and snakes. I have helped care for my childhood dog who had to have both eyes removed, and both of my dogs from adulthood who both had cancer. My daughter loves animals and misses her pets dearly. She is excited to help care for animals again too. I’m a preschool teacher in Rantoul, but my husband works from home. We can make times work especially starting in the early evening and weekends. Our home is pet friendly. We have some things still from our dogs. I am comfortable giving medications if needed to your fur babies (or scaly ones). We are in a pretty animal friendly neighborhood and a good area for walking.

About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I was a little boy. Not only pets, but the start of this year I started as a Healthcare Tech at Carle hospital taking care of patients. From dogs, to cats, to sugar gliders, you name it, I’ve taken care of. What really made me love dogs especially is when I met my dog I’ve owned for two years Prince. He’s a shiba inu and he’s the most loving/caring puppy you will ever meet. He’s taught me patience, kindness, and love and that’s why I think I’ll be a great fit for this job. Just know that I will do everything I need to do for you and your family to feel safe and comfortable as I watch your pets. Thank you!:) I work as a healthcare tech at Carle hospital so I work three days out the week. I can definitely find the time to play, feed, go on walks, and have fun with your pets! I have a puppy of my own that I’ve had for a year now. I make sure he’s well taken care of. Making sure he’s well fed, walks, play time, cuddle time! It all works out haha:) I’ve taken care of cats also before so I definitely think I will be a great fit to take care of your pets!:)

About: I’ve been around pets for as long as I can remember, so I’m very familiar with their daily needs, routines, and behavior. I also have experience dog sitting, where I’ve helped with walking, feeding, and spending time with pets. I bring strong responsibility and attentiveness from working in both an elementary school and a retirement home through Greencroft Communities! These experiences taught me how to follow detailed instructions, stay patient, and provide consistent, caring support in structured environments. I apply the same level of reliability and attention when caring for pets, making sure they are safe, comfortable, and well looked after during walks and sitting visits. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and am available most days. I enjoy a long walk with dogs if needed but short walks are perfect too! Drop-ins and sitting visits are something I will adjust my time as needed to provide consistent and reliable care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and respect for the home environment. I follow all provided instructions closely, maintain the pet’s normal routine, and make sure they feel comfortable and secure. I stay attentive during visits and communicate with owners if anything changes or needs attention. I treat each pet as if they were my own and focus on making sure they feel comfortable, calm, and well cared for while their owner is away.

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: Your best friend will have all of my attention. I’m an aspiring zoologist and have always loved animals. Currently living with 4 animals, 3 dogs and 1 Guinea pig. I help take care of my dads dogs while I take care of my Guinea pigs. I have experienced many things with dogs and cats, such as helping them through seizures and birth. I have a lot of care for animals and take pride in my work, so thank you for giving my profile a look. I’m currently open to house sitting for extended periods of time as I have only free time. I had to move back to my parents which has opened up my schedule immensely. By making sure all needs of each animal are met. By making sure they have food, water, go outside, and get the attention they want/need.

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!

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.

We unexpectedly found ourselves without a sitter for a few days and Tanya dropped everything to be there for us. Our puppy immediately became her best friend and absolutely adores her! She was so easy to work with, was timely, and considerate of our puppy's needs. Plus she was flexible and willing to accommodate for our busy, and constantly changing schedule. We would definitely recommend Tanya to any dog owner!!

I cannot stress enough how AMAZING Hannah was! Not only was she great at communicating with me, but she kept me updated the whole time my puppy was in her care. This was my first time boarding my dog through Rover, and she made it a great first experience. I loved knowing that my puppy was getting well taken care of while I was away. I will definitely be booking with Hannah again(:

We could not be happier in finding Feiran and Jiaxu to watch over our boy. We had plenty of pictures and even videos throughout the day of our boy! It was great to see and knowing how much they take great care of him puts our mind at ease! Their lab, Yami got along wonderfully with Simba too! Feiran was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns that I have. We will definitely be boarding Simba here again. :D

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.

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.

Rachel was absolutely fantastic with our dog Mika during his 9-day stay. She took Mika on amazing adventures and walks, and we received pictures and updates every day, which kept us reassured and relaxed throughout our vacation. Knowing Mika was in such good hands made our time away stress-free. We highly recommend Rachel for her exceptional care and attention!

Ryan and his family were very nice. Traveller can be a handful and I hope things weren't too disruptive for them. He was considerate, polite, accessible, and really easy to work with. If I need another sitting job at any time, I'll ask for him first. He's just a nice guy who gets dogs and took care of mine at a time I needed it, and that was great.

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!

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!
