I knew from our first meeting that Nathan and Jackie were the right choice to take care of my Sophie for the 2 weeks I would be in Japan. And I was right. They sent daily pictures/videos of: Sophie playing with their dogs Reilly and Bailey; the kids walking, holding, and loving on Sophie; and photos of some well-deserved chill time. We had excellent communication for the duration of Sophie’s stay with them. Nathan contacted me about a week into her stay to report an issue that he felt needed reviewed by her vet. I agreed and Nathan made the appointment, then took her for a vet visit. The vet also agreed with Nathan and gave Sophie 2 prescriptions. Nathan paid for the vet visit and meds himself (since I was not available at the time). For the next week, Nathan and Jackie gave Sophie the meds prescribed and reported back to me how she was doing with her medical issue. I am so thankful for Nathan’s keen observation and proactive stance on Sophie’s health. The vet visit and daily meds were more than they signed up for and they just took care of it all. I will definitely be taking Sophie back for future boardings, and may even have to take her for occasional visits so she can play with the dogs and the kids!

This was our first time leaving our 14 month old, Rosie, with a sitter outside the family. Melissa was FANTASTIC!!! She updated us on how Rosie was doing with this environment by email and sending pictures. Melissa's home is clean, inviting, and you can tell from the moment you see her welcome door mat that dogs are loved. Rosie will be back:)

I’m so glad that we found Melanie. My senior Chihuahua is picky about who watches her, and Melanie was a great fit!! She walked my dog everyday and spoiled her with endless trips to the back yard. Pixie came home with a doggie report card! I’m booking with Melanie again so I know my dog is cared for comfortably the next time I’m away.

As a first-time Rover user and a nervous dog mom, I was hesitant to leave Banjo with anyone, especially since we just adopted him from a shelter. However, Jenelle completely exceeded my expectations. She was incredibly thoughtful and even suggested a meet-and-greet before the stay to make sure Banjo would be comfortable. She showed such patience and care with him, especially since he’s a shy and nervous dog. Throughout our trip, Jenelle kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which really helped ease my worries. Banjo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had the best time with Jenelle and her own dogs. I think he was a little upset that we were taking him home because he had so much fun!! We’re so grateful for her wonderful care and will absolutely be leaving Banjo with her for all our future trips. Highly recommend!!

She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was clear Howie was happy, comfortable, and well-loved while he was with her. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, happy, and had a great time.

As an abandoned rescue, we were concerned about how he'd handle a long boarding but Kayla settled him right away. She welcomed our quick visit in the middle of the stay. Thank you Kayla!

I hope she’ll agree to work with us again this fall, and I would recommend her to anyone for superb pet care!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleanup, and administering basic medications when needed. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs and personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being. I work full time for USPS as a mail carrier. I have two days off each week. I’m always off Sundays. Once I’m off work usually around 5/6pm I’m free! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment in my home, free of hazards and closely supervised at all times. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special requirements. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine to help them feel secure and stress-free. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure and I provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and genuine care, and I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet—and your home—in someone else’s hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and dependable experience for both you and your pet.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover since I was little. Throughout college I have done all sorts of pet/house sitting for friends, family, coworkers etc. I have house sat for a family friend that required feeding and watering horses, milking goats, reptile care, rabbit cleaning care, medicating cats/dogs if needed, you name it. I currently have a Corn Snake, a Western Plains Hognose Snake as well as a Crested Gecko. I have been a Veterinary Receptionist for over 5 and a half years now. I was also an Animal Keeper for about a year with native Illinois Wildlife (including black bears, cougars & bobcats). I am currently transitioning to being a Veterinary Assistant so I am gaining new skills weekly! Currently working a max of 30 hours at my day job as a Veterinary Assistant but recently have been working less. Typically I have Sundays and Wednesdays off during the week but sometimes get another random week day off depending on how busy we are at the clinic. My shifts can vary from 8am to 2pm; 8am to 4pm; 9am to 3pm; 9am to 5pm or even 8am to 6:30pm. The earlier I’m off during the day I am able to help after that too. Your home is their home. I will cater to your pet based on what they like or need. If they just need someone to keep them company I’m there. I will treat your space with respect and follow any instructions given. My pets are family and are treated as such so the same would go for your kiddos.

About: The cat obsession is strong in our household. We currently share our home with four beloved felines, all of whom are well-cared for, thoroughly spoiled, and learning to adjust to our new 8-month old puppy. My children (ages 16 and 12) actively help with their daily care. My oldest has built a particularly close bond with one of our cats, who he lovingly calls his best friend, and the feeling is mutual. Over the past 11 years, our family has gained significant hands-on experience in feline care, including behavioral support, managing multiple-cat households, and responding to health issues. We’ve navigated several medical concerns with our cats, from joint pain and feline asthma (requiring a Canada-only inhaler and daily monitoring) to prescription diets and emergency vet visits. While not every scare turned out to be serious, each one taught us something new — and reinforced our commitment to keeping our pets calm, comfortable, and cared for. I’ve administered medications to cats including insulin, oral meds, ear drops, and inhalers. I’m always happy to follow your preferred routine — whether through a video or in-person tutorial — to ensure consistency and reduce stress for your pet. Should your animal require urgent care and I’m available to assist, I’m familiar with both Morton Animal Hospital and Banfield Pet Hospital and would be glad to help. If more advanced care is needed beyond general visits or drop-ins, I’m happy to adjust the rate accordingly and discuss any additional support your pet may require.

About: Through out my life I've had several different furry friends (and fish!). I have worked with all kinds of animals from ones that love to run and play to ones that would prefer to lounge around all day! I have several years of experience as a professional pet sitter, as well as having pets of my own. I can't wait to meet your babies! 😊❤️ I am currently a stay at home mom looking to make some pocket money while doing something I love! I'll have plenty of time to look after your lovely animal babies! Most of the times, short term stays or quick check-ins work best for me, but I am open to talks regarding longer stays. I am a strong believer in spending as much time with pets as possible, so I plan to enact that with your fur babies as well. I will send you pictures of your fur baby on walks or lounging on the couch with small updates.

About: Need a break from your puppy? Let me take your baby off your hands for some much needed you time! I offer very low rates and I will never charge extra to watch a puppy as I have one of my own and I know how tough it can be to keep your doggo entertained! Worried your pup will be lonely? Don't be! Your dog will never be lonely as I'm home full time with my 6 month old puppy, Archie, who loves to play! Archie is fully vaccinated and wears his rabies tag everywhere we go. Archie is very friendly with other dogs and would love a friend to run with and play tug-of-war but my apartment is large enough to house other pets separate from my puppy if that is your preference. Does your dog need special treatment or medicine administered? I've got you covered! I'm a third year student doctor currently on virtual rotations (studying/working from home) due to coronavirus and I'd love to treat your dog (or other pet) to some treats! I may be in school to treat humans, but I'm comfortable administering medications and I have experience doing so for everything from ferrets to dogs to pigs. I have owned guinea pigs, ferrets, cats, and dogs so I am comfortable caring for a wide range of pets. Does your pet require a lot of exercise? You're in luck. Mine does too! I take my puppy to the community dog park everyday for at least an hour. In addition my apartment is right across from Lake Michigan and a walking trail that my dog and I frequent in the evenings. If your dog needs more exercise I have a dog park inside my apartment complex where I can take your pup to stretch his legs and play as often as you'd like. I have personal and professional dog sitting experience, medical training, tons of space, and will update you as often as you like with pictures and videos of your pup having a blast with Archie and I. Book with me today and rest easy knowing your pet is in good hands!

My dog has gone to Brittney and Cody's house for two visits now (each several days of daycare) and he absolutely loves it! Now when I pull into their yard, he gets excited and runs into their house. They are very kind hearted, loving, and responsible people who care for my dog just as they do their own. They were happy to accommodate a temporary soft food schedule and are so responsive. As a "dog mom" with high expectations, I can't recommend them enough.

Karen was so wonderful! I was in Bloomington for five hours to visit family for the holidays and needed a place that my dog could stay while I was with family. Karen was incredibly accommodating and a happy safe space for my pup. He is disabled and has really bad separation anxiety. He was able to make him feel loved and safe and continuously sent me pictures and updates on him. I highly recommend using him:)

Peggy is exactly the person you want taking care of your pets. She is patient, relaxed, and full of love! She has a dog of her own, Peanut, and offers to do an introduction before your booking to make sure all animals are comfortable. My days are somewhat unpredictable and Peggy was always accommodating and patient with my schedule. Maple would rush to her door each day in anticipation. We feel so lucky that Maple has been under such great care for the past 2 weeks!!

About: Hi pet owners of Bloomington/Normal!! A little bit about my experience, I’ve had large and small dogs all my life. I have took care of cats as well! I have been dog-walking for 5 years and have nearly three years of experience as a home-health aid/caregiver for our local elderly, where I also walked, picked up after, snuggled and played with many clients pets! I am comfortable administering oral medication to dogs/cats and comfortable with pets of any size. I’m full-time at home, so plenty of time to give extra care and attention to your furry loved one. Personal hobbies are baking, doing puzzles, learning new recipes, walking around different parks, painting, doodling, and binging movies/tv shows! Available every day of the week besides midday Sundays! I have reliable transportation (my personal vehicle) for travel to clients homes for sitting and walking, as well as taking dogs to parks to play. I can allow one/two dogs inside of my home. My dog only eats when she is hungry, so I ensure her food and water bowls are never empty. I will follow clients care plan/requests for how your pets are fed. I have one sweet, medium sized 6 year old female dog at home!

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own. I provide calm, attentive, and reliable care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I’m experienced with puppies, including basic training reinforcement and routine building, as well as senior pets who need extra patience, medication reminders, and gentle care. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication, so you always feel confident and connected while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine since I’m at home most of the day. This allows me to provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, timely feedings, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m able to closely monitor pets, adjust to their schedules, and give extra care to puppies or senior pets who need more frequent check-ins. I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In my home or in a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules, potty routines, and any specific instructions closely. Pets receive regular exercise, playtime, affection, and supervision throughout the day. I maintain a clean, safe environment and monitor for any changes in behavior or health. For in-home visits, I respect your space and keep everything just as you left it. I also provide updates and photos so you feel connected and confident in your pet’s care.

About: Finding the right sitter matters — especially when your dog needs more than just a walk and a bowl refill. That’s where I come in. I have over 15 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs and behaviorally challenging cases, I’ve cared for and handled dogs with a wide range of needs. My background includes extensive volunteer work at animal shelters, where I gained valuable experience reading canine body language, managing stress, and working safely with dogs that require extra patience and structure. In 2021, I earned my Certified Dog Trainer credential through Animal Behavior College, and I continue my education through Leerburg University, focusing on canine behavior, handling, and communication. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach — every dog is different, and I tailor my care to what helps your dog feel safe, calm, and confident. If you’ve been told your dog is “too difficult” or “too much” for most sitters, I encourage you to reach out. I have experience with reactive, anxious, high-drive, and medically complex dogs, including administering medications and injections when needed. My goal is not just to watch your dog, but to advocate for them while you’re away. For safety and individualized care, I only accept one family of dogs at a time. This allows me to focus fully on your dog’s routine, comfort, and well-being — no overcrowding, no chaos. I’d love to schedule a meet & greet so we can make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. You’ll leave knowing your dog is in capable, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring hands. Thanks for stopping by my profile — I look forward to meeting you and your best friend soon. I'm hoping to make canine boarding/training my new job. I still work full time in a hybrid remote role. I will only accept boarding reservations where I know I will be home. I prefer to exercise dogs by walking them, but will do anything to keep your friends on their own routine. Anything you can share with me about your dogs preferred routine will help me keep their schedule as normal as possible.

About: I love to play and love on animals, and my daughter loves to research breeds and find what they like the most. And care for them that way. Your pet(s) will be well welcomed to our fun loving home. Welcome! I am working full time, dogs will have full access to backyard at their leisure. If they are unfamiliar with a dog door, I will train them. Litter box cleaned daily. And in the morning and evening some love and play time. I have a fenced in yard, dog door ( that locks) shelves and hiding spots for cats. I had made this an oasis for my cat and dog while they were still with us. Our free time is spent at the cat cafe, and the humane society. We will go walk the dogs there or play with the cats at both places. Any animal in need of love and attention, we are thrilled to provide it. Our dog passed of cancer 3 years ago and needed to be put down as it had spread and she was in terrible pain. It was a slow, and hard for to let go A year ago, our cat had this disease, and she became immobile immediately and was in chronic pain. It was such a quick loss. So I have been a little hesitant to bring another animal in full time. However, all animals are welcome and we look forward to building a safe spot for you and your pet while you are away.

We will certainly be back for not just a vacation already booked with Amanda, but daycare says as well. Thanks Amanda for loving our Penny like we do and welcoming her into your home!

About: I’ve always been an animal lover since I was little. Throughout college I have done all sorts of pet/house sitting for friends, family, coworkers etc. I have house sat for a family friend that required feeding and watering horses, milking goats, reptile care, rabbit cleaning care, medicating cats/dogs if needed, you name it. I currently have a Corn Snake, a Western Plains Hognose Snake as well as a Crested Gecko. I have been a Veterinary Receptionist for over 5 and a half years now. I was also an Animal Keeper for about a year with native Illinois Wildlife (including black bears, cougars & bobcats). I am currently transitioning to being a Veterinary Assistant so I am gaining new skills weekly! Currently working a max of 30 hours at my day job as a Veterinary Assistant but recently have been working less. Typically I have Sundays and Wednesdays off during the week but sometimes get another random week day off depending on how busy we are at the clinic. My shifts can vary from 8am to 2pm; 8am to 4pm; 9am to 3pm; 9am to 5pm or even 8am to 6:30pm. The earlier I’m off during the day I am able to help after that too. Your home is their home. I will cater to your pet based on what they like or need. If they just need someone to keep them company I’m there. I will treat your space with respect and follow any instructions given. My pets are family and are treated as such so the same would go for your kiddos.

I have had experience with all types of pets, from super energetic to ones that would sit on the couch all day long if they could! I have experience staying overnight for multiple days if needed with your pets, or dropping in a couple times a day as needed! I also love taking walks!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes & personalities. I’m not shy to specialized care needs and love to play, walk & give belly rubs! Services include drop in dog walks and play sessions and overnight pet sitting for short or long terms. I’ve cared for two large fluffy dogs with special needs for two months at a time. I also looked after a high energy chihuahua for three weeks, routinely walking three or four times a day to burn some extra energy! I work full time in Bloomington from 9-6, Monday - Friday. Walks will take place as late as 8am or earlier, during lunch break if you’re home is within 15 miles of Bloomington, and after 6:30 pm on weekdays. Weekends are flexible and I am comfortable transporting the dogs to a dog park or swimming spot if they do well on field trips! I’m more of a homebody and love to play and interact with animals in their home. Your house rules & pet care needs will be met with respect and understanding. Your dog’s boundaries, safety and needs will be prioritized. I appreciate cleanliness and will respect your home as if it’s my own.

I am a strong believer in spending as much time with pets as possible, so I plan to enact that with your fur babies as well. I will send you pictures of your fur baby on walks or lounging on the couch with small updates.

Ava did a great job taking care of our dog while we were gone. Her whole family gave our dog lots of love. I would use Ava again.

As a first-time Rover user and a nervous dog mom, I was hesitant to leave Banjo with anyone, especially since we just adopted him from a shelter. However, Jenelle completely exceeded my expectations. She was incredibly thoughtful and even suggested a meet-and-greet before the stay to make sure Banjo would be comfortable. She showed such patience and care with him, especially since he’s a shy and nervous dog. Throughout our trip, Jenelle kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which really helped ease my worries. Banjo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had the best time with Jenelle and her own dogs. I think he was a little upset that we were taking him home because he had so much fun!! We’re so grateful for her wonderful care and will absolutely be leaving Banjo with her for all our future trips. Highly recommend!!

Amber was absolutely wonderful with Howie! From the moment we connected, she was kind, communicative, and made me feel completely at ease leaving him in her care. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was clear Howie was happy, comfortable, and well-loved while he was with her. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, happy, and had a great time.

Kayla is a real treasure! Her home was spotless and she and her family were great with our dog. She sent us daily updates along with pics, which we loved. As an abandoned rescue, we were concerned about how he'd handle a long boarding but Kayla settled him right away. She welcomed our quick visit in the middle of the stay. Thank you Kayla!

About: I have been around dogs of my own and others for my entire 38 years of life. I grew up with having at least 3 dogs at once, then when out on my own for the last 10+ years, have lived with and spoiled at least 2 dogs at a time. I currently have 2 fur kids of my own, who are very loved and spoiled. That same kind of care would translate to any dogs I care for. I'm currently working part time while studying, so I will have plenty of time for your pups! I work 3 varying days a week currently, from about 9am-5pm. A lot of time is spent at home with my own pups, and that would translate to yours. I have a good sized fenced in yard, and can provide a separate space, crating or whatever is needed between your and my dogs! I also keep the back part of my house separate.

Karan was amazing. He watched our Garfield sized Cat and was truly wonderful. Smart, responsible, kind and loving to our fat feline. I can’t recommend Karan enough. He has an adorable 15 lbs perfect dog as well that will get along great with any dog or cat. Nice place as well, so you are leaving your furry friend in the best of hands. Thanks Karan. We will use your services again for sure.

Sarah was a great dog sitter. She was easy to work with and my dog loved being there. She sent photos and let me know how things were going while we were away. I highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs.
