“Once again, stellar dog-watching! We left Logan for a little over 4 days. We received daily video updates and never once had any concern for Logan’s safety, happiness, and overall wellbeing. Will continue booking with them as long as they are free and able!”
“Feiran and her family loved our pup throughout his week and a half with them. Feiran is professional but relaxed, sent us at least one video a day of our bat playing with his new friends. We definitely recommend her for boarding services 🧡”
“Lainey agreed to board my Golden and Aussie last minute and she did a phenomenal job! My Aussie does not like new people and struggles with severe anxiety and fear aggression. I was honest about his behaviors upfront and not once did she seem scared, which is so uncommon, even at dog boarding facilities. Because of her passion for animals, managing behaviors, and training, he had a successful stay and I could enjoy time away without worrying constantly. I can't begin to explain how freeing and relieving that was! I will be using Lainey in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Lainey!! You are such a blessing!”
“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 :)”
“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!😊”
“Ginger had a safe and happy stay with Rae. Rae's fenced yard is very convenient and fun for Ginger. Ginger got lot of personal attention, which is what she wants! That Rae is easy to communicate with, is a bonus. Thank you, Rae!”
“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!”
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.
“Our boys seemed to enjoy staying with Kassie- she loved on them and they loved having other dogs to play with. Our Aussie can be a bit sad/anxious when we leave him- but both our dogs did wonderful. She sent us pics, which was great! I would highly recommend her!! Thanks, Kassie!!”
“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!”
“Meghan is a nice person. I will definitely send my dog to her again if I need to. She took care of Milo well. Unfortunately, Milo developed an allergy on his paws and tail.”
“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!”
“Hannah was so responsive and flexible and incredibly understanding. She watched our fur baby with such care and our pup felt right at home. She was all drawn to her! I would love to book again in the future!!!!”
“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!”

“Rachel was fantastic with our senior dog, Flo. Flo has mobility issues and multiple medications, and Rachel took great care of her when we were away. Flo and Rachel's endearing cat became nap buddies. Rachel sent us plenty of feedback and pictures to reassure us that Flo was OK. We would definitely book with Racheal again.”
“Rebekah was wonderful! She took great care of our dog, was always quick to respond, and very flexible. We felt completely comfortable knowing our girl was in good hands. We would definitely book with her again!”
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!

About: I've also had cats my entire life, including raising kittens and caring for rescued cats.

I'm experienced with feeding, litter box care, playtime, administering basic care, and recognizing when a cat needs a little extra patience or comfort.

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.

“Feiran is an awesome dog sitter. My dog Ben always loved going to her house for day care. Ben used to stay weekly and I always received pictures and videos from walks and play time. Ben was always exhausted and went to bed after day care. Feiran was always very accommodating and I would recommend her to anyone that needs a safe and great environment for their dog. I'd leave Ben with her over any kennel or dog day care facility. Thank you Feiran!”
“Aratrika has been a kind, loving partner in caring for Luna, our pup. Luna has a lot of puppy energy and loves being around people and other dogs. When Aratrika cares for Luna, she gets love and attention, as well as dog friends to play with. She has a big backyard, so the dogs get plenty of outdoor time, plus walks and cuddles. Very grateful I found her on Rover. I definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a loving sitter!”

With my experience and care, your pets will be in great hands for pet sitting.

“This was our first time using Ryan and we will definitely be repeat clients! Our pups are usually pretty anxious, but they were immediately comfortable with Ryan and his pups. Thank you Ryan!”
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’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
“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!”

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.

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.
“Anj took wonderful care of our cavapoo. Her communication was wonderful and she was very flexible, even administering his eye medicine when he injured himself the day of his first stay with her. We feel very confident using her services again and recommending her to anyone.”
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: My family has had a rescue dog since she was a puppy and is now a senior dog. I have had my own 2 shelter dogs living with me full time for over 2 years so I have been exposed to dealing with separation anxiety and many different reactions. I know I will be able to exceed your pets needs and provide lots of love and attention! I am currently a stay at home mom to a 1 year old boy. My schedule is very flexible because of this and I would prefer to bring him to drop ins and keep him in a car seat but I have babysitters if you are not comfortable with that! I currently have 2 dogs and a cat on a few acres of land so they are very active outside. I used to live in an apartment and would exercise my 3 year old lab retriever for about 2 hours a day! I love playing fetch and games with our animals and am excited to entertain your pets!
“Breonne, went above and beyond with my dog. I am here for training and I was worried about my dog, she made me feel at ease and kept me informed while she walked my dog. I would highly recommend her, taking care of our fur babies. 5 stars all day.”

I am a local teacher- so I have flexibility with my schedule during early mornings, lunchtime, or evenings! My current work also allows me to be available on breaks and holidays! With my clients, I love to stay in consistent communication where I can provide you with updates and pictures of your pet. This will ease your mind knowing your pet is happy, healthy, and in great hands!
About: I have been raised around all sorts of pets ranging from hamsters to dogs of all ages. My parents always expected me to help take care of our dogs and it has always been my responsibility to take care of my own animals. I have also learned a lot about pet care and animal behavior through my own research! I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and living at home. I commute to and from school everyday and my weekends are usually free! I am happy to share my class schedule in order to make sure we are the right fit! I always make sure to meet your animals in a way that they feel comfortable prior to services in order to ensure everyone’s safety. I usually bring treats or a toy so they know I am someone they can trust! I also am able to accommodate to any needs for your pet whether it’s medicine, a specific diet, or if you are working on any specific training with them.
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 taken care of animals my whole life. Friends and family call on me to watch their animals because I am so good natured with them and love teaching trucks and giving baths I currently do not work so I would be available to e other take of your dog during the day in your home or for overnight any day of week I would follow instructions of the pets owner on how they wish their pet to follow the same routine they do on a daily basis
About: I am a proud mother of a 9yr old son and an 15 yr old daughter.. My daughter is usually at school for most of the day. However, caring for both full time I have come to notice animals stimulate both kids and teach them respect, responsibility and routine. We are excited to em"bark" on this new chapter in life and cant wait to start. Together, I believe all 3 of my family unit would not only love, but sincerely enjoy even the smallest and largest pets while their 'parents' are away or just need some attention. With summer upon us - my schedule (and helping hands) have become more flexible. Currently, I am available every day from 6am to 7pm. Holidays, weekends, and every day that ends in "Y"! With respect to the pet , clients home, and specific care needs, I try to always keep an open mind and heart but keeping respect in the foreground.
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 would love to meet your fur babies. I'm retired from 35 yrs as a Social Worker. Now, I can pet sit full time. Call or text with any questions or to book my services! I'm able to come to your home while you're away! Whether you're working extra long hours or away on vacation, I can watch your pets when you are gone from home. I only watch pets in their home environments. This is less stressful/traumatic on pets, than a kennel stay. Also, your pet will avoid getting diseases from the other animals at kennel. I don't charge per pet or per size fees either!
About: I love animals of all kinds. I have had cats and dogs my whole life as well as help watch my neighbors pets while they are gone. Let me take great care of your pet while you're away!

About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was a kid. I have experience in babysitting children. I also take care of Laya our family pet. I also have previous pet sitting experience in Wisconsin. Iny previous experience in Wisconsin, I have asked owners for written instructions on medications, favorite toys, play schedule, vet contacts as well as inquiring about safe ways to enter the house. I have given the quality care for pets including snuggles, walks, and fun games like fetch with their favorite toys and time at the dog park- if permitted by their parents. I am a substitute teacher. I frequently do half days, I'm doing mostly afternoons at my subbing jobs. I am available in the mornings and at 330-8pm for drop in visits and walks I will ask for written instructions on feeding, rules, any medications, and anything else I should know. I will send pictures and videos of what we are doing-walks, how much your pet has eaten, treats, playtime, and playtime.
“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: My whole life I have always preferred animals over humans so as an adult my goal has been to turn it into my profession. I have cared for all kinds of animals from bugs to sheep, the least being livestock but i would love to learn more and better my skills in every way I can. With animals I am always down for whatever can or will come my way. In the most recent years I have been doing a lot of work with the pups that are a little extra spicy✨ after finding my own dog in a corn field and her ending up with reactivity and aggression, it really opened my mind to not just be a dog lover but someone who understands dog behavior to be able to keep them happy☺️ Unless I am out of town(rarely happens) I can almost always make it work! Even if it’s adding an xtra visit to make sure your baby gets everything they need🫶🏻 I care for every animal like I would my own babies. I like to keep things as close to normal for them as possible so never feel like you are telling me too much!
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.

“Feiran and her family loved our pup throughout his week and a half with them. Feiran is professional but relaxed, sent us at least one video a day of our bat playing with his new friends. We definitely recommend her for boarding services 🧡”
“Lainey agreed to board my Golden and Aussie last minute and she did a phenomenal job! My Aussie does not like new people and struggles with severe anxiety and fear aggression. I was honest about his behaviors upfront and not once did she seem scared, which is so uncommon, even at dog boarding facilities. Because of her passion for animals, managing behaviors, and training, he had a successful stay and I could enjoy time away without worrying constantly. I can't begin to explain how freeing and relieving that was! I will be using Lainey in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Lainey!! You are such a blessing!”
“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!😊”
“Ginger had a safe and happy stay with Rae. Rae's fenced yard is very convenient and fun for Ginger. Ginger got lot of personal attention, which is what she wants! That Rae is easy to communicate with, is a bonus. Thank you, 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.
“Our boys seemed to enjoy staying with Kassie- she loved on them and they loved having other dogs to play with. Our Aussie can be a bit sad/anxious when we leave him- but both our dogs did wonderful. She sent us pics, which was great! I would highly recommend her!! Thanks, Kassie!!”
“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!”
“Meghan is a nice person. I will definitely send my dog to her again if I need to. She took care of Milo well. Unfortunately, Milo developed an allergy on his paws and tail.”
“Hannah was so responsive and flexible and incredibly understanding. She watched our fur baby with such care and our pup felt right at home. She was all drawn to her! I would love to book again in the future!!!!”
“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!”
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.
“Rachel was fantastic with our senior dog, Flo. Flo has mobility issues and multiple medications, and Rachel took great care of her when we were away. Flo and Rachel's endearing cat became nap buddies. Rachel sent us plenty of feedback and pictures to reassure us that Flo was OK. We would definitely book with Racheal again.”
“Ryan was an amazing sitter! He picked my baby up on a major holiday while another sitter fell through! I deeply appreciate him and would be booking in the future! Thank you again! 10/10 recommend!”
“Nina was available when I booked her last minute, she was very accommodating and asked a lot of questions about Nikko to best take care of him, which I very much appreciate! Nikko was so calm when I picked him up! I could tell he trusted him even for a short time he spent with Nina!”
“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!”
“Gilana was an incredible sitter for my dog, Edison! I recently moved into town and it’s always tricky to find someone new to trust with caring for your pet. Gilana was kind, communicative, and clearly made Edison feel right at home. I also felt extra confident that Edison was in good hands knowing she is training in the veterinary field. What really made her stand out is I had a very stressful, last-minute flight change, which left me stuck across the country for an extra day. Gilana was able to extend coverage for Edison. I truly don’t know what I would’ve done without her flexibility and understanding. Thank you, Gilana!”
About: I cherish the time I’ve spent caring for cats and dogs and interacting with them has been fulfilling and a fantastic addition to my life. Caring for my dogs and cats, enjoying the love and attention you receive in return for your efforts is a wonderful addition to the human experience I really like taking my dogs for exercise, and I have a big imagination and enjoy coming up with interesting ways to play inside in inclement weather
