“As always Caitlin takes amazing care of our pups! They are both sooo excited to see her when we drop them off! I know they are in great hands! She is attentive, caring and fun. She updates with pictures and videos often. We love her!!!!”
“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(:”
“Gloria is just the best! Olive loves staying with her. We call it “Olive’s Vacation” when we take her to see Gloria and Mark. Gloria and Mark are such kind people, and we truly trust them knowing they’ll take the best care of Olive.”
“Elaine was great! Chili had a great time with her. She was informative and sent lots of pictures/videos to us. She was also flexible and easy to book with. I will be using her again!”
“I felt completely safe leaving Bella with Feiran!! Bella had a great time again with all her new friends. I initially made a mistake with my booking, but Feiran was very responsive and flexible. I also really appreciated the photos and videos :)”

“Melanie is so kind and super attentive to Javi! He adores her. Melanie sent lots of pics and updates-which I very much appreciated! Hope Javi can stay with Melanie in near future!!”
“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.”
“Rae was really wonderful with my older (14) dog Nikki, who is wonderful but has some special needs. Rae kept me posted about how Nikki was doing (e.g., picking at her food) and also let me know that Nikki was drinking an unusual amount of water, which can be a sign of various health issues. I so appreciated how attentive she was to even small details. Rae was also very responsive when I sent my initial boarding request and during Nikki’s stay. I highly recommend Rae and she will be the first person I contact next time we need a sitter!”
“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!”

“Brittany was absolutely amazing! She made Capri feel right at home immediately and kept me up to date with her progress throughout her stay. I really appreciate the photos and videos. Capri felt right at home! We will definitely use her again.”
“Thank you so much! Ryan was very communicative, and I had no concerns. He had to give one of our dogs medication twice a day, and he did so with no issues. Ryan has a nice fenced in yard. He sent pictures and responded quickly each time. He also understood the temperament of our dogs, and described them perfectly when we picked them up. We will be happy to have Ryan take care of our dogs again.”
“Katherine did an excellent job of taking care of my Winnie, a large, athletic dog who craves attention from people. Katherine kept her engaged, playing games with her and throwing the ball in the backyard. She clearly has a lot of experience with dogs. Winnie came home a very happy pup.”
“I can’t recommend Rachel enough! She took incredible care of my dog while I was away for a couple of weeks. He got plenty of exercise with walks, trips to the river, and adventures in the forest preserves. She even treated him to an ice cream after a long, fun day in the sun! Her communication was top notch, she sent frequent updates with details about his day and tons of great pictures that gave me total peace of mind. It was clear she treated him like one of her own. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, she’s the one!”

“I cannot say enough positive things about Hannah! She continues to show her reliability & trustworthiness week in and week out. Our dogs love and trust her very much! With how important they are to us we were very skeptical that we’d be able to find someone who we trusted would lovingly care for them the way they are accustomed to, but we found that with Hannah!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, growing up with large dogs and cats and developing a genuine love for their unique personalities. For the past four years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for coworkers, friends, and family, caring for pets with a wide range of needs and temperaments. I have experience with high-energy dogs, senior pets, and cats ranging from affectionate cuddle bugs to those who prefer their independence. As the owner of a diabetic cat, I’m comfortable administering insulin injections and following specialized care routines. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attention to detail when caring for pets, especially those with medical needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medications, sticking to a routine, or simply providing companionship, I take pride in making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I think I enjoy their company as much as they enjoy mine! I have a very open schedule. I no longer live in Tennessee, but I’m in town for the summer visiting family! I’ve got open availability! Open to last minute bookings and care! Lots of time and energy to give to your pet/s! I care for pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable, keeping their routines consistent and providing the love, attention, exercise, and care they need while their family is away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for, while giving you peace of mind that both your pet and home are in good hands.
About: Hi! I’m Sophia, a dependable and caring animal lover with years of experience providing attentive care and creating safe, positive environments. I love staying active, so whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or just extra cuddles, I’m happy to make them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure owners stay updated for peace of mind! I am currently home for the summer and work part time every once in a while so am pretty free for over night stays, drop ins or walks. I care for pets in their own home by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and lots of attention. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while keeping owners updated with photos and messages.
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!
“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: 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.
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
“We absolutely love Madison, she is so sweet and attentive to our boy and we trust her with him so much! Her updates are very detailed and we get so many wonderful pictures (our kitty loves to show her his tongue). Would recommend to anyone, the peace of mind we get is so worth it.”
“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: 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 trained my rescue dog during quarantine. I also have rescued 4 cats. I love animals and go out of my way to meet a dog. I have time after work and on weekends to help care for your furry or not so furry family members. I love animals and this is a joy to do! I have a clean background, I am great with animals. I am reliable and honest and will love your animals the way you love them.
About: Fostering for a local shelter has taught me how to care for cats of all kinds and needs including those with illness who need medication, young kittens, and those who are not used to being around others.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Mansfield
“Our doodle is always SO happy to go with Caitlyn! (She might love Caitlyn more than she loves us, tbh.) Caitlyn is just so calm and good with dogs - she can even clean those fluffy ears sometimes, which is so above and beyond for a “dog sitter”… she’s more like our pooch’s second family. Her house is organized to be dog friendly. I recommend her for doggie daycare AND boarding!”
“Megan and Eric were so easy to work with! Communication and booking were a breeze, and our dog was super happy at drop off and pickup. Great people with a perfect setup for your pet. Definitely recommend!”
“Annadel and Jose were great hosts! My dog had a great time and I received videos of her playing as well as updates. They were also responded quickly to messages. I highly recommend and would certainly use them in the future.”
“Aratrika was amazing! She accepted the day care with very little time in advance, she sent a lot of pictures and took a really good care of my puppy 🥰 I definitely recommend her!”
“Feiran and her human and dog family welcomed Mario as one of their own. He was obviously comfortable (isn’t always the case), came home tired, and we received photos and videos to allay our nerves about being at a brand new place. We’d 100% book again. Thanks guys!!!”
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.
“Rae took our pup on Thanksgiving day, and we had a great experience! She was very responsive and flexible, sent numerous adorable picture and video updates throughout the day, and made sure he got plenty of walks! Our dog, who can be anxious around new people, seemed to really enjoy his time at Rae’s house! Highly recommend Rae!”
About: 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: 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.

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 been around animals my entire life, growing up with large dogs and cats and developing a genuine love for their unique personalities.

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.

About: Hello! I've enjoyed working with animals for all of my life. I have lived in the Champaign area at various times over the past 10 years with my father. I have not had experience working on Rover before but I'm looking forward to helping pet owners in the area! I recently moved back from Japan, so I've been searching for temporary employment in the Champaign area before starting graduate school in the fall. I have time available during the day, evenings and on weekends to provide care for pets. I can follow instructions on what care you need for your pet! I am not able to offer care in my own home, but I'm happy to do what it takes to meet your needs.
About: Greetings! First - thank you for considering me and my services. I have been a pet owner all my life, and have been the proud parent of hamsters, fish, cats, dogs, and a rabbit!

I 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: I bring years of hands-on animal care experience from veterinary clinics, kennels, and long-term pet sitting, including special-needs care for a senior dog who requires diapers, hourly potty breaks, medication management, and a strict diet. My background in veterinary support and my 5-year commitment to caring for three dogs from one family means I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and fully comfortable supporting pets with complex routines. I treat every animal with patience, confidence, and genuine love, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because, with school wrapping up, I have plenty of time to focus on consistent, reliable visits. I plan my days around each pet’s needs, keeping feeding, walks, and medications on schedule while balancing a few prior commitments on set days. For the most part, I’m available daily, which allows me to offer flexible booking, dependable check-ins, and attentive pet-focused care that never feels rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly, keeping feeding, meds, and potty schedules consistent while maintaining a calm, clean environment. I provide gentle companionship, monitor behavior and health closely, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and reassured. My goal is to respect the home, reduce stress, and ensure every pet feels safe and understood.
About: I have 4 dogs that I’ve owned for 5 years now. I adopted two of them as puppies, so I potty trained them and taught them how to sit, lay down, walk off-leash, etc. I adopted my other two as adults, but I did train them how to walk off-leash as well. I care for them every single day, which includes feeding them on the same schedule every day, walking them, playing with them, bathing them when needed, taking them to the vet when needed, cleaning up after them to ensure a healthy and clean environment for them. I’m currently a college student who is out of school for the summer, so I am available 7 days a week at all hours of the day! In my client’s home, I will complete any task they ask of me in the way they ask to do it, as I completely understand that certain dogs need certain routines and strategies. I respect my client’s homes and the way they operate their home lives, and will do all I can to ensure their pets are happy and healthy.
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 have had many years of dog training would love to spend time helping with your furbabies. I am retired and have the time to spend with yours I have afternoons available Tuesday through Friday. If you need your dog walked or just someone to play with them I would be available to help. I believe in giving lots of positive reinforcement to my furbabies. I teach them good manners and make them feel loved and safe with me.
About: My goal in life is to be your pets newest best friend. I have had experience with my very vocal and fat beagle that is 6. As well as a retired belgian malinois bomb dog that is 10. I can play fetch for hours, play games, or sit and cuddle a coach potato. I can be at your door anytime I do not have class at my flight school! I work part time at a coffee shop but my hours are very low because of school. I would really like pet sitting to be my job instead as I transition into this. I am attending a flight school to become a pilot. I am there just for a few hours a day through the week. But any chance I get I will pet sit! Since having experience with dogs and cats. I understand I am a visitor in THEIR home. I will make sure I do not intrude and make each visit a positive time. Walking, crating, potty breaks, a good cuddle and pet are all things I will do 100%. I also am at deep cleaning typical litter boxes, and can clean crates as well. If you have a fenced in yard I will play for hours. I love to walk dogs as long as they can be walked safely! Cats are pretty independent but I would love to come pay them attention!
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: As a foster parent for a local animal shelter, I love giving our four legged friends a safe and welcoming place to call their own. I have fostered over 2 dozen animals in my home and have experience with crate training, potty training, basic needs and socialization as well. I’m currently working as a full time teacher, but have a lunch break daily in which I can come home and give the furry friends a potty break and some play time. I do not have a fenced in yard, so I take the animals in my home on multiple daily walks using a leash and harness.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, starting with two energetic border collies who taught me the importance of patience, exercise, and mental stimulation. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for my own diverse range of pets including a bunny, fish, and amphibians, giving me hands-on experience with different care needs and environments. I regularly pet sit for friends and family, caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I also volunteered with Best Friends Animal Society in LA after the fires, which deepened my understanding of animal behavior and care. From feeding schedules and medication to playtime and companionship, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personality quirks that make them special. My lifelong experience with animals has taught me to read their body language, recognize signs of stress or happiness, and provide the love and attention they need to feel safe and comfortable while their parents are away. Pet care seamlessly fits into my flexible schedule - I’m available seven days a week and can accommodate last-minute requests. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or extended care while you’re traveling, I can adapt to your pet’s routine and your family’s needs. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I’m committed to maintaining their regular feeding times, exercise schedules, and bedtime routines. My open availability means I can provide the reliable, stress-free care that gives you peace of mind when you’re away. In Your Home: I provide in-home pet sitting to keep your furry family members comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll maintain their regular routines, provide companionship, and can stay overnight if needed. Your pets get personalized attention while enjoying the security of their own space, and you’ll receive regular updates and photos to keep you connected.
“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!!”
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.
“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.”

“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(:”
“Elaine was great! Chili had a great time with her. She was informative and sent lots of pictures/videos to us. She was also flexible and easy to book with. I will be using her again!”
“I felt completely safe leaving Bella with Feiran!! Bella had a great time again with all her new friends. I initially made a mistake with my booking, but Feiran was very responsive and flexible. I also really appreciated the photos and videos :)”
“Meghan took great care of our three greyhounds for the weekend! From our one still in the crazy, destructive puppy phase to the old guy that just wants to cuddle on the couch. She handled their meds and feeding fantastic. Will happily book with her again and recommend to anyone!”
“Melanie is so kind and super attentive to Javi! He adores her. Melanie sent lots of pics and updates-which I very much appreciated! Hope Javi can stay with Melanie in near future!!”
“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.”
“Rae was really wonderful with my older (14) dog Nikki, who is wonderful but has some special needs. Rae kept me posted about how Nikki was doing (e.g., picking at her food) and also let me know that Nikki was drinking an unusual amount of water, which can be a sign of various health issues. I so appreciated how attentive she was to even small details. Rae was also very responsive when I sent my initial boarding request and during Nikki’s stay. I highly recommend Rae and she will be the first person I contact next time we need a sitter!”
“Rose was absolutely amazing with our dog! She’s so responsive and sweet. She sent us pictures and videos, and just made everything so seamless. We cannot wait to use her again!”
“We were very happy to board with Lainey. Communication was great, and we really felt like Summer was well cared for. She got a lot of attention and was able to play with friends, which we couldn’t be happier about. Thank you so much!”
“Thank you so much! Ryan was very communicative, and I had no concerns. He had to give one of our dogs medication twice a day, and he did so with no issues. Ryan has a nice fenced in yard. He sent pictures and responded quickly each time. He also understood the temperament of our dogs, and described them perfectly when we picked them up. We will be happy to have Ryan take care of our dogs again.”
“Katherine did an excellent job of taking care of my Winnie, a large, athletic dog who craves attention from people. Katherine kept her engaged, playing games with her and throwing the ball in the backyard. She clearly has a lot of experience with dogs. Winnie came home a very happy pup.”
“I can’t recommend Rachel enough! She took incredible care of my dog while I was away for a couple of weeks. He got plenty of exercise with walks, trips to the river, and adventures in the forest preserves. She even treated him to an ice cream after a long, fun day in the sun! Her communication was top notch, she sent frequent updates with details about his day and tons of great pictures that gave me total peace of mind. It was clear she treated him like one of her own. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, she’s the one!”
“Bailey and Wade were fantastic with our senior “high maintenance” dog. We received daily updates and pictures of our guy having the best time! They did great calming him when storms came through! Definitely will book with Bailey & Wade again! Thank you!😊”
“Kat was very accommodating and we were very pleased with her services. It sounded like Abbey got along very well with her pets and the other dog she was sitting for that day. We were grateful that she was willing to take Abbey along with her other booking!”
“Christina is awesome. The minute I met her I recognized such a positive energy with her, and my pup loved her! Not having to board my dog at a kennel made my vacation even better and it’s about the same price! Christina sent pics and updates, TOTES recommend!”
