Pet Sitting Archer Heights

About: I have been a dog parent for the last 13 years. I have experience with dogs with disabilities (I live with a three-legged baby, Mabel) and leash-reactive furbabies. As a sitter, I have taken care of all kinds of dogs but prefer a nice temperament if a dog comes to my home so he or she can get along with my own dogs. I am knowledgeable of dog training techniques and are observant of dog behaviors. I work from phone so your dog will rarely be alone. They will have consistent use of the yard throughout the day (under my supervision, never alone) and will have playmates in my two female dogs, Iris and Mabel (both very playful, mid-energy, mild temperament, zero dog/toy/foodnaggression, spayed, up-to-date on all vaccines). I work remotely so I am usually home. My two dogs are super friendly and love to play. I am also able to separate dogs if needed with dog gates while still allowing for all dogs to be comfortable! I love dogs so it is very important to me to provide everything they need while their parents are away. I live with two dogs myself and they are my life, and I will treat your dog in the same way. As a dog mom who has used sitters in the past, I understand the importance of respecting my client's home and only spend time on site as needed to take care of your angel. My goal is to be the person I would trust to take care of my own doggies (and my expectations of sitters are *pretty* high). Lastly, I am very detailed in following rules and care instructions, no matter how irrational your friends tell you they are. My care instructions for my own dogs is 4 pages long; I understand. Please note that the only caveat to the above is if any rules are abusive toward your dog (shock collars, prong collars, hitting, pushing, choking, underfeeding, other); I will not accept the booking.

About: I’ve worked with young kids and dogs for years. I babysit and petsit in people’s homes and I have trained my seven year old dog. I also have experience with cats and giving them space while letting them warm up to me. On weekdays I work full-time until 4pm and then I’m all free to play with your pets or feed them. Weekends I’m free all day to properly care for your pets. I have a fenced grass front yard and a 7 year old mini schnauzer if your pet is okay with socializing, but not necessary for house sitting or walking.

About: I have experience caring for pets of my own, including dogs and cats, and understand how important it is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m familiar with the daily responsibilities of pet care, including feeding, providing attention, keeping their spaces clean, and making sure they feel secure. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to learn each pet’s individual routine and needs. I will treat your pets with the same care and affection I give my own! I’m currently balancing college and part-time work, so my availability varies throughout the week. I’m especially interested in scheduling pet care around my classes and work shifts, with more flexibility on weekends when available. I’m happy to communicate ahead of time to find a schedule that works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine will always be a priority! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, feeding instructions, and any special needs before providing care. In your home, I’ll respect your space while making sure your pet has fresh water, food as instructed, a clean environment, and plenty of attention. I’ll be mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and potential hazards to help keep your pet safe. I also understand the importance of patience and positive reinforcement, allowing pets to feel comfortable at their own pace. I’ll communicate with you throughout the booking and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry family member is in caring hands.

About: What sets me apart is my 10+ years of experience caring for dogs and the genuine love and attention I give to every pet. I have a dog of my own named Lucy, a Beagle/Boston Terrier mix, and my siblings and I share the responsibility of feeding her, taking her on walks, keeping her active, and giving her plenty of love and affection. In the past when Lucy has been sick, I was responsible for taking her to the vet and giving her medication. I have also cared for several of my friends dogs while they are at work, including taking them on walks, feeding them, checking in on them, and spending quality time with them. I have experience being around both puppies and adult dogs and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I am reliable, patient, responsible, and committed to making sure every pet in my care is safe, comfortable, and well looked after. I will follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated so you can feel confident that your fur baby is in good hands while you're away. I am currently a part-time elementary school substitute teacher, so my schedule can vary from week to week. I typically receive my substitute assignments 1–2 weeks in advance, which allows me to plan ahead and know which days I will be available. On days when I am not substituting, I would love to dedicate my time to caring for your pets. I am generally available Monday through Friday from as early as 6 AM to 7 PM, depending on my school schedule. I’m hoping to make pet care a fun and rewarding side job while providing reliable, loving care for your furry family members. When caring for a pet in their home, I make sure to follow their normal routine and the instructions provided by their owner. I will make sure they have fresh food and water, take them for their scheduled walks or potty breaks, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I will also make sure their environment is safe and clean before I leave. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, habits, and specific needs. If they need medication or have any special instructions, I will carefully follow the owner's directions. I will also send updates and photos during my visit so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and being well cared for while you're away.

“Chelsea was great with Carl. I plan to contact her again if I ever am in need of a drop in or walker.”

About: I have had dogs ever since I was a kid, I had a high energy yellow lab before and now I have 2 pitbull mixes and one of them is deaf. I use to volunteer at PAWS Chicago a few years ago, so I have been trained with reading a dog’s body language, deescalation tactics, and dog safety measures! I currently am focusing on my education which is fully remote via online. So, my schedule is open unless otherwise stated in the calendar. You let me know what your beloved pet schedule is and I will include them into my schedule if I am not already booked. I have had my previous dog rusty since he was a puppy, so I have had first-hand experience with potting training, teaching them how to sit and stay, and have experience with high-energy dogs. I now have 2 pitbulls / mixed breeds. One since a puppy and the other since 2025 when she found us and ran at me from a alleyway. The alleyway dog "Joy" is deaf, so my experience includes dogs with little to no hearing. I will take your dog out on walks and give them all the pets and attention they want. If they want to play fetch outside, I will do that at a local dog park or in the yard, whatever you are most comfortable with.

“Ruari was very attentive, kind, and passionate about caring for our kitties. We loved receiving pics from her and knowing that our girls were having a good time. Always fed and scooped litter in a timely manner and sent very cute pics of them playing.”

About: Fenced yard front all around. I will be sure your doggo gets playtime and walks to the park. I work from home so I can provide regular supervision and accommodation for any special needs. Currently working from home. I have a routine of a minimum of 3 walks per day with my dog and plenty of outside time in my fully fenced yard. I also make sure there is playtime in additional to treats and other physical needs. I understand that dogs need more than just potty breaks and food and water. I take the time to provide the attention and care that every dog needs. I provide a space for large dogs to be themselves in a safe and secure environment.

About: I've taken care of dogs since early childhood, my first dog's name was Macho. I've learned to be responsible, caring and dependable to ensure a loving growth from my pet. I've also been the go - to friend for caring for pets when a coworker decides to go on vacation. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, a little exercise, or some company while you're away, I'm certainly happy to help. I'm currently working part-time, so I have lots of free time over the weekend to offer care for your pet. I'm extremely lenient and if needed can come to a compromise to suit your needs as well! Being the eldest child I have lots of experience in remaining aware of my environments when out in public. I can affirm to you that safety is my utmost priority. Your pet will be treated as my own.

About: I have previously owned dogs when I was younger (8yrs -17yrs old), my goal is to provide care for your pet and make them feel comfortable. I will do this by walking, play time, and cuddles and meeting any other needs your pet requires :) I am currently a post university graduate, so I have a bit more down time as things have winded down. I am a schedule driven person which leads me to be very attentive and love getting out or hanging indoors with furry friends. I believe in treating your animal in how I treat mines with lots of love. All animals are different and need different levels of support, I want to be able to provide a comfortable environment while they’re away from home.

“Jozelin did great with my cat, Bella! I got pictures daily, as well as updates about her behavior and any issues. When I got home from my week long trip, Bella was doing great and had clearly been well taken care of! I would book Jozelin again - especially because she tool the time to get to know Bella and gain her trust!”
