“Rilee watched our dogs in our house for the second time while we were gone for vacation. She communicated with us often and sent pictures of the boys throughout the week. She gives them plenty of play time in the backyard and even administers meds! We feel lucky to have Rilee for our boys and will be using her again!”
“Corey was a helpful and communicative pet sitter who spent time with my dog, and was flexible. Checked in multiple times to make sure we had his services as long as they were needed. I would book with Corey again.”
“Rachel was great with our puppy Digby, despite him being a pest when she came over :) Rachel is prompt, was cleaning up messes proactively, and was overall terrific. Recommend anytime.”
“Madeline was excellent. This was our first time getting a dog sitter. We have had experience with boarders for our previous dog and we didn’t like it so we went with a dog sitter this time! Zara was much more comfortable being home and she loved Madeline! We made sure they met a few times before our trip which Madeline was happy to do. She was very communicative, sent a lot of photos, and even took out our garbage while we were away. She made our trip even more relaxing by giving us the peace of mind about Zara! I knew our fur baby was in good hands and happy at home! We will definitely be rebooking with Madeline for any future trips”
“Sarah was amazing! She gave us regular updates with pictures and Remy enjoyed lots of outside play time and lots of love. We couldn’t be happier!”
“Abigail was great, we appreciated the updates and pictures while we were away. She communicated well and took good care of our sweet girl (13 year old dog). We will book again :)”
“Tanya provided exceptional care for our cat and two dogs while staying over a long holiday weekend in our home. She asked excellent questions during our "meet and greet," so when it came time for us to leave our animals we knew they were in good hands. She arrived to house sit early afternoon on Friday and left late on Monday to accommodate our travel schedule. Our animals each have particular needs and personality quirks. For instance, we have one high energy dog that requires oral medication, frequent potty breaks, and long walks. Our other dog is content sleeping all day and needs to be convinced to take short walks! Plus, the energetic dog will eat the lazy dog's food if given the opportunity, so we feed them separately. Then, our cat is low maintenance, but still needs food, water, affection, and to have her box cleaned daily. Finally, the dogs wake up at 5am for breakfast (whether we're awake or not). Caring for the three of them is a lot of work and Tanya did a great job attending to their needs! We came home from vacation to happy, heathy pets and a clean house. We could not have asked for a better pet sitter. I highly recommend Tanya and would absolutely employ her services again.”
“Milo was so great with our babies! He was really responsive and all of them were so happy when we got home. Our cat had surgery a week ago, and we felt very comfortable leaving him at home under the care of Milo.”
“Mindy was great! Very communicative and loving toward our girl. Kai recently lost her brother so we are a bit more sensitive about her getting attention and having a routine while we are away. Mindy allowed us to travel with peace of mind knowing Kai was in good hands. Will definitely re-book. :)”
About: Hi there, I’m Sierra! I currently reside in Champaign and work at a few daycare/boarding facilities here. I’m currently going to school to become a vet tech, so on top of having animal care experience I also have some vet med experience! I have two dogs of my own and spend everyday around all sorts of dogs, miniature to giant! I look forward to meeting you and taking great care of your pup! Pet care fits into my daily routine best in the morning since I go to work in the pm, but I work with animals every day and have a different schedule every day! If my schedule looks confusing or even if I have a day marked unavailable that you need pet care on, please reach out to me, I’m always willing to see if I can move anything around to accommodate! Pets will feel right at home here! I offer an unfenced area for them to run and potty as well as living not far from a dog park. I always make sure the dog is comfortable with me at all times and take the steps needed to gain and maintain their trust, I never want to stress the animals out in a new environment or in their own environment.
“Amy was awesome with our dogs and cats while we were out of town! She kept us updated and sent photos every day, so I could tell they were being well taken care of. One of my dogs has a lot of medications and is a picky eater, and Amy was so on top of it, which put me at ease knowing he was in good hands. I will definitely book with Amy again!”
“Communicated well and was always responsive! Went out of their way to grab extra supplies and take care of cleaning ☺️”
“Melissa is fantastic! She is so conscientious and kind. She took such good care of my chihuahua and bunnies. I look forward to booking her for all my house sitting needs!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for almost all my life, I currently have a golden doodle and mini. The mini is cared for only by me. I have experience with Attachment issues, being sick, medication administrating, incontinence, and more. I have experience with training and breaking dog fights up. I love each animal as if they were an extension of myself. I’m working part time so your animal(s) will get lots of attention if needed. I am doing online college and flexible with time. My sleep schedule is nonexistent, I can be available whenever. I have a 6ft fence and a gate fence, medium yard, a lots of toys. With a neighborhood that has many homes with dogs the neighborhood is also careful. I have 1 large crate and 1 medium, if needed we have them
“Alyssa did a great job watching my senior dog. She sent regular updates and photos, which I greatly appreciated. I also felt at ease since she has so much experience with pets and wants to be a veterinarian. I definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her watch my dog in the future.”
“Lorri was fantastic with my little guy while I went out of town. She had excellent communication with frequent photos and I felt that she genuinely cared for my dog as if it were her own. Very trustworthy and would recommend and request her again in the future!”
“Patrick housesat and watched our dog and kitten over the Christmas holidays. He sent us daily photos and prompt messages. On very short notice he was able to stay an extra night due to our travel delays. We would definitely schedule again for any future pet sitting 😊”
“Briana was fantastic. She responded to questions quickly, sent updates (and pictures), and overall made us very comfortable with her caring for our fur baby and home while we were gone.”
“Kortney followed our instructions and sent us updates as requested. I felt comfortable leaving my cats with her and I’m sure they loved her! I would definitely use her services again when needed”
About: I've lived with and taken care of dogs for 11 years! I love all dogs and animals in general. I'll treat your pet like family, and they will be my number 1 priority while I'm taking care of them. I'll be doing a research assistantship at UIUC over the summer with 8-10 hours per week committed to that. This won't take up the majority of my time, so I'll have more than enough to take care of your wonderful pets! I'll treat your pets just as well as I treat mine. They'll get whatever care they need and plenty of extra love on top of that! I treat my client's home extremely well and make sure to clean up after myself. I take pride in keeping a clean living environment for myself and for my pets. I'll be sure to leave the house just as clean as when you left, and I'll be sure to give plenty of love and care to your pet as well!

Wilbur Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah is a lovely human, very approachable and transparent with her communications, and she easily meets/greets/makes pets feel comfortable. I would definitely book her again if our schedules align.
Tanya was great! She sent regular pictures and updates while we were away. I would definitely recommend!
Sent lots of pictures of her time with my kitty. She spent lots of time with him playing and cuddling. Very flexible with schedule and timing that I hoped for him to be watched. Highly recommend having Emma take care of your furry family!
Melissa is a sweetheart! She took great care of our Disco and home while we were away. We were at ease knowing everything was taken care of -highly recommend!
Kortney was a great dog and house sitter. She took great care of my elderly dog including wrapping her injured paw regularly. Lucy was happy and healthy when I returned and the house was spotless.
Abigail was great, we appreciated the updates and pictures while we were away. She communicated well and took good care of our sweet girl (13 year old dog). We will book again :)
Rachel took great care of my pup and house while I was away for a week. She’s responsive and had me resting assured that things were well managed.
Bri did a great job housesitting. Our boy is strong and she did a good job handling him on walks. She left the house in better shape than it was when she got there.
great experience with madeline. communications were frequent and very much appreciated. no worries while we were away. we'd reach back out to madeline again the next time. no reservations. highly recommended.
Chloe did an excellent job of caring for my Maltipoo and my daughter’s Bernidoodle while we were away for the weekend! I would give her my highest recommendation!
Kim is the best and we know we can always relax on vacation knowing our pets are in trustworthy hands :)
Brittney did a fantastic job taking care of our two dogs (who can be "difficult" sometimes) while we were gone. She put in the time to get to know them before we left which helped them get comfortable with her. She learned their routines and habits (and how to deal with them) which gave us (and the dogs) much higher levels of confidence that everything would go smoothly. She also took really good care of the house in our absence. We will definitely have Brittney take care of our two dogs again and would recommend her to anyone that we know.
Once again we really appreciated Lili’s updates and the way she takes care of Pete and our house. We hope she’s available everytime we are needing a dog/house sitter.
Salomé is a wonderful pet sitter! She was housesitting during a tornado watch and took both our animals to the basement with her, which we so appreciated. We highly recommend her and from what I can tell our pets loved having her stay with them.
Once again, Patrick was responsible and communicated each day with us including pictures. I never worry about leaving. Professional and caring.
Veronica will our go-to pup sitter for as along as she is available. She is dependable, and most importantly the pups love her! She made leaving for a weeks vacation so much easier for us. She sent pictures! She was very easy to get ahold of, and responded very quickly! I highly recommended Veronica.
Jo was a FANTASTIC sitter. We needed someone to stay the night with our cats and Jo was so wonderful. She was great with communication and letting us know when she was at the house. We get anxious leaving our babies and it was so reassuring having her there. 😊 we will absolutely use Jo again!
My sweet pooch was delighted to see him again. That says everything, because she is usually quite timid around strangers.
Bailey was great! Communication was good and I received a ton of photos throughout my trip! Everyone in the house loved them and their clear love of animals made it easier to leave my animals in their care. Bailey did great with following the notes left behind and left the house as clean as they found it. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone needing a reliable pet sitter!
