Personalized care for your dog or cat - Perrysville

“Theresa and Scott were absolutely amazing I would let them watch Colby anytime! They really treated Colby like one of their own and I know he made tons of new friends with all their pups!! They sent tons of pictures and videos! I would recommend anyone that needs animal care to get hold of them!!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and I love them all. I’m good about watching temperament in animals and making sure everything is going smoothly. I can do simple training like sit and lie down. I can’t wait to meet and love on your pup/senior. :) I work 8-4 Monday through Friday. My job is pretty lax when it comes to coming and going! I get an hour lunch break around 1:30. Once I’m off at 4 I’m usually home for the night, but if I’m not your pet will be with me or crated! Whether we are burning energy with interactive toys or cuddling on the couch, your pets comfort and routine come first. I provide fresh water always, stick to your feeding schedules, and will give update pictures throughout their stay!

“This was our first time leaving our boxer with anyone. Derrick was great. We felt like he treated our dog like his own. Appreciated the pictures he sent when he took her for a walk. His house is set up so the pets he’s watching have their own room with a bed and couch. We really appreciated that she wasn’t out in a kennel. We will definitely use Derrick again.”

“We left our Nellie in the very capable hands of Alyssa while we were on vacation. Alyssa sent multiple daily updates and was so attentive to Nellie and her cautious disposition. We can’t thank Alyssa and her family enough for caring for our girl!”

About: Hi, I’m Angelica, a retired veteran and passionate pet lover who’s been dog sitting since 2017. After losing my service dog Buddy, I turned my love for animals into a mission to care for yours like family. I’m experienced with dogs of all kinds—puppies, seniors, and those with medical needs—happily administering medications and tailoring care to each pet’s unique personality. I adore taking dogs on car rides, hiking trails, or exploring nearby lakes, and I offer pick-up and drop-off services for an additional fee. From my time volunteering in Phuket, Thailand (2016) to walking dogs at Koh Lanta’s Animal Welfare, I bring a world of care to every furry friend. Whether it’s potty training, baths (just ask for pricing!), or cuddles on the bed (if allowed), your pet will feel right at home. I’m also comfortable with cats, farm animals, and endless games of fetch! I prefer meet-and-greets before bookings to ensure a perfect fit. Let’s give your four-legged family member the love and adventure they deserve with Best Buddy Dog Sitting! As a retired veteran, I’m all in for pet care! I’m available weekdays and weekends, offering sitting in my home or yours—wherever your pet feels happiest. My schedule revolves around giving them the love and attention they deserve. My home features a fenced yard—perfect for romping or leashed adventures—plus quiet, low-traffic streets for walks. If the weather’s good and they’re up for it, well-behaved pets join me on outings, from car rides to playdates with other friendly dogs. In your home, I adapt to their routine, ensuring they feel secure and cared for.

About: I’ve always always had a soft spot in my heart for animals. My parents have always had a ton, from a bunch of different breeds of dogs to pigs, to chameleons, to bunnies. I’ve always had experience with animals, it’s odd if I don’t have one around! I have a kitty named Nala and a Cocker Spaniel named Goose. They are my pride and joy! I feel as though pet care is just as important as self care. Animals are there for us, as our support, therefore, they should be taken care of just as well. Making sure that your animal is not only healthy, but happy is a priority to me! Having a routine and making sure that all needs are met is a must. I feel as though your home is also your pets home, therefore, enabling them to have their own space is important. Also, making sure your animal is fed and watered and stimulated and energized plays a large role. Playing with toys or running around in the yard are both great ways of stimulating the brain!

“This lovely family was very professional regarding their pet sitting services. We felt comfortable leaving our fur babies in their care. Thank you!”

“Thank you Marci!! Ajani probably hopes I travel again soon!!”

About: As a kid I did not grow up with cats, but I always loved their quirks and that no two are alike! Whether your cat is a social butterfly who loves endless chin scratches (like my Poe), a shy introvert who needs patience and space (like my Monroe), or a curious kitten ready for playing, I make my approach match their comfort zone. - comfortable handling all temperaments, from playful kittens to fragile seniors. - Experience with medication - Efficient litter box cleaning

About: I have raised dogs (and other pets)ever since I was little, growing up on a farm helped with that. My 3 chihuahuas are my life, since my children have their own children now. I promise to run, play, bathe, love, and protect each pet like they were my own. There is no better companion than a special four legged family member. I love treating pets with the utmost care and respect. My availability is open. I am a dog lover. Always have been and always will be a dog lover. I prefer to be around pets of all kinds over humans. Pets have so much more to offer. They only want your love and good attention. That is what they will receive with me. Thank You

“Always great with our animals, no matter what animal it is!! Saved us on a last second booking due to our original arrangements falling through last second. Thank you so much!!”

About: Growing up in the country I have had about every animal. It has taught me from an early age responsibility, nurturing, & experience in caring for pets. I am a nurse 20 years+ in the ER/trauma field. There are many similarities. I am walking & providing care for dogs because sometimes I love working with dogs a little more than working with people 😉 “Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen“ My schedule is flexible ! If I’m not dog walking I volunteer at shelters and work on my barn getting ready for my next horse. I am insured. This is an awesome hobby in carrying out something I love doing. I took a certification course in pet psychology. Common sense along with knowledge such as obedience & safety basics while giving your dog great exercise is my priority.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals like, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, lizards etc. I am very gentle and loving with pets of all kind and about 6 years of experience. I’m available 24/7 this will be like a full time job for me it’s hard to get a job with bad anxiety. I’m a vet quiet person. I would be going to your house to take care of your pet. I live with my mom and have a bunch of little kids here.

“Adrienne handled my dogs with their many quirks with so much care. She was great at communicating with me about any concerns. You can really tell how much she cares about animals.”

About: I taken care of cats when I was younger. Was a vet assistant clean cat kennels and feed them. And I love all kind of cats and loved playing with them.

About: Got my first cat when I was about 11 and convinced my parents to get another who ended up to be pregnant, I cared for her kittens for about 6 months before we gave up all but two of them and I've cared for those two and my previous two ever since

“Madison was incredible! She watched my two older, very particular cats for nearly an entire week, and every time she checked in (with lots of photos!) I felt a huge wave of relief. She did everything she asked for and more! I would book Madison again in a heartbeat, and if you're looking for someone who is kind, compassionate, and goes the extra mile then you should book her!”

About: Caring for someone else's pet is an honor and a great responsibility. We take the time to be informed and properly equipped to provide excellent pet care and the highest level of customer satisfaction. We will make sure your pet(s) receive the best care possible while you are away. Our schedule is fully devoted each day to pet care. Our passion is to ensure that all clients are comfortable, happy, and in an environment that is fulfilling and nurturing as we can reasonably create. Boarding and Day Care drop off and pick up times are as follows. If you do not know an exact time then provide an hour window and give a heads up when you are on your way. Some accommodations may be made but must be discussed first. 7:00am-9:00pm For your benefit and ours, we require a meet and greet for ALL new clients. We want you to feel comfortable with us caring for your pet as well as making sure your pet will be a good fit for the environment we provide. We care for your pets like they are our own. We have dogs of our own and understand the level of trust it takes to have someone care for them; that is why we do what we do. Their safety is our number one priority. You can trust that your pets will be taken care of just as you take care for them or better. We will enjoy spoiling and loving them every moment we are with them. For our Boarding and Day Care services, all dogs must thrive in a social environment. When the days are nice we spend the majority of the day outside. Our guests are not cooped up in a kennel. When the weather is unfavorable, we have a 40'x20' area to lounge in. If your dog is not good around other dogs, then our drop-in care would be the best service to go with.

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: From fish to horses, dogs, cats, and everything in between, I’m an animal lover. In fact, pretty much my whole life is based around animals! I am currently a kennel tech at an animal shelter, and have worked with animals in some capacity since I was very young. I have a WRCTE Veterinary Medical Applications Certification and Fear Free Handling training. I currently work fulltime (8:30-4:30) but am available after work and on breaks for drop-in visits, and every other weekend for more higher demand work. My pets are my whole world, and I’ll treat yours just the same! I know everyone has different preferences for their furbabies, and I’ll stick to every detail you ask of me. You need pictures? You’ve got them. You need me to give extra love? Can do. Your pet needs special medications? I have experience with that! Leaving behind our pets is hard, and I’ll do my best to make your time away less stressful.

“Great job!!”

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.

About: I've had dogs and cats all my life, I started taking care of them around 9 at the time we only had dogs but eventually we got a cat and then more cats and maintained the amount of dogs we had I currently care for my disabled father but with a little heads up I can prepare him to care for himself for however long you should need me to pet sit for you My family has 2 full grown Great Danes, and 4 adult cats, It's my responsibility to make sure they are let out multiple times, fed & watered, and cleaned up after. I have also taught our dogs some tricks, like shake, sit, & fist bump.

About: I own several animals which include cats, dogs, and a leopard gecko. I love animals, and I am good with feeding on time, bathroom breaks on time, and I love to spend quality time with animals! I am good with puppy and kitten care as well. I am a house cleaner as well, so it tends to mix in with the pet care. I am consistently taking care of myself, my house, and my animals. I walk my dog every day, I feed all of my animals at the same time every day, I keep regular vet appointments, and all of my animals are up to date on their vaccines and spay/neutering.

“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!!”
