Pet Sitting Arlington Heights

“Anneke is kind and very tuned in to our cats and their different personalities. She gave them great care while we were away including giving medication. When our outdoor cat wouldn’t come in, she went back multiple times until she did! Highly recommend!”

About: I have had animals all of my life- cats, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, newts, frogs, hamsters gerbils, parakeets and even an ant farm at one point! I have helped pet sit for other people and my daughter also does pet sitting. I have been a nurse for 37 years and I also volunteer at Nevin's Farm weekly. I know how important it is to have a reliable person to check on your animals while you are away or just at work. I would like to expand what I do and be that person for you. I work at the hospital three times a week and on my off days I am available to come check your pet, give them potty breaks, feed them, whatever they need to make them comfortable while you are not there. Sometimes my days might vary but hopefully a routine could be established that suits us both. I am happy to go by any instructions you leave for your pet - where they are allowed to go or be, what you want me to put out for them for food or water, etc... Just let me know because I want to keep their routine and environment the same as if you were there in that moment. I would like to think that if my animals could talk they would give me high marks for all I do for them to keep them clean/cared for/walked. I think they are happy with me!!! But I guess I do something right as my friends and family always call me for advice or when they want to adopt and say "Where should I go? What do I need? Is this a good choice? Will you go with me?" So I take these asks as good compliments.

“Anne was prompt, communicative and very caring with our kitty! She also went above and beyond with our cat’s unfortunate throw up and bringing packages indoors!”

“Eunae is very experienced cat sitter and she took really good care of my two cats when I was away. The note card that Eunae left are very well spoken that I understand better about how my cats was doing. One of my cats is really needy, She spent time play with my cats, pet them, treat them, I really appreciated it! Highly recommended!”

“Alison treated our cat very well while we were away. She was able to give him his medicine with no issues and sent us lots of photos of them playing. Our cat can be a bit feisty, so it was great to see her manage him so well.”

About: I'm a veteran providing daycare and boarding, walking and house sitting depending on the dog and owner. The day is generally filled with canine adventures including hikes in a forest and hills, and in the summer, play in dog friendly areas which might even include a pool party and ice cream social! Given the right environment and only with your permission, this can include off-leash time. Pickup and drop-off is almost always available. The quoted price is for a 15 mile range. Extra if farther. ----- Since I was 4, I've been caring for all kinds of animals, especially dogs. At one time as a kid, we had 4 Great Danes! I've had mixed breeds and purebreds, athletes and couch potatoes, puppies, seniors, and special needs. I've also trained them although I've never been certified. Something common that friends say after their dog has spent a week or more with me is "how come my dog is now better behaved?" Your neighborhood or mine, the local park, the dog park, or on dog friendly trails. One dog or many. Having had all kinds of pets, including a 23 year old cat who required daily fluids and Miralax because of kidney failure and old cat dry colon, a dog that suffered seizures, and others. I even had a big 7 pound black and white adult rabbit that I found dumped in the state forest; she was litter box trained, had the run of the house, used the big dog crate as her private home, and would take turns playing with and chasing the 93 pound dog. I've just always seemed to understand dogs in particular and vice versa. The same is usually true with other animals as well. I even enjoy caring for dogs that are hyper! Just let me know first in case I've got low energy dogs with me. What you can expect: Boarding and daycare are usually canine adventure time with me. Assuming your pooch is up for it, they'll accompany us on an adventure where they usually are able to play with other dogs, swim, and go on hikes. When the weather doesn't cooperate, that usually means pack walks somewhere like Lowes or somewhere else inside. If your dog tends to be stressed around other dogs and not well socialized, they'll have fun, learn that they are safe and can enjoy themselves while learning to be social and resilient. This is also great for improving their fitness and overall health. I work remotely, set my schedule, and nothing makes me happier that being with and doing things with dogs. Dog park? Trails? It's field trip and adventure time, if your beast is up for it. Play dates? Why not! Up for playing with my dog who is vaccinated for probably everything and wants to chase and be chased? Not a problem. Special needs or a senior? Just let me know. I have a fenced yard and a happy, boisterous 6 year old, 57 pound dog who adjusts his play style to what other dogs like. If he's too much for your dog, he takes correction from them, no problem, or I can put them in different places. He even lets little dogs beat him up without protest and if your dog likes rough play, he'll accomodate. He's happy and loves people and dogs. He has zero resource guarding issues; if your's does, he'll give them space.

About: My experience with animals is 10+ years. I currently have six reptiles including a snake and I have a black lab named Raven and some bettas, too. Other experience includes veterinary internships with hands-on experience, I worked at a farm, I worked at a doggy daycare, and I have passed vet technology courses online. My business is called Mac’s Petcare through which I walk dogs and take care of pets. I really enjoy my career and I would love to work with cats too! I currently only work with dogs but am definitely open to caring for cats. I can do weekdays from around 2-5PM!! I also accept other requests. I walk dogs from 10 AM-2 PM currently, and I love it very much❤️ I try to make sure they feel safe at all times and I make sure they have a good time as well👍😊💜 I absolutely love working with the animals!!

“Sasha did an absolutely wonderful job with my kitties during my first trip out of town! She was easy to reach and work with, learned each of my pets’ individual needs and personalities, and kept them happy and entertained. She sent tons of cute pics and updates and when one of them had a minor vomit-sesh, she cleaned up no worries and just let me know after. Totally recommend her services!”

“Thanks so much, Katie! Miles is quite happy so all is well, hahah! We appreciate it! If you’ll be available over Xmas we’ll be in touch! Thanks again!”

About: I have walked dogs since I was 7 years old, starting with my family’s yellow Lab Phoebe, taking on neighbors as clients. I have since enjoyed pet-sitting for friends and having my own pets, including my darling cat Caramel. I have a very flexible schedule as a graduate student — outside of class I am typically at home or studying close by, often in pet-friendly and outdoor spaces where I would love to have your pet join me. I love a long walk and will walk your dog as far as you would like! I am empathetic and considerate and have a deep respect for pets and the humans they live with. I am a clear communicator and will always do my utmost to understand your pet’s needs and give them excellent care.

“Peaches, my little old Yorkie, took to Jess immediately and they enjoyed a nice walk in the neighborhood. I appreciated her promptness in arriving on time, and her photo that she took of Peaches. Highly recommend!”

About: I am happy to spend extra time to help your pet feel cared for and get the exercise they need. I'm experienced in caring for dogs, cats, and rodents (hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs) I recently finished school, and am looking for work. I'm currently available full-time for pet care. Even after I find employment, I plan to continue making time for pet care. I primarily care for pets in my clients' homes, since my own dog is territorial. My clients' pets are happy to be cared for in surrounding they are familiar with.

“Sabrina was a fantastic caretaker for my pup during his lunch time walks! She was responsive, gave great updates and I could tell my dog was in a great hands!”

“Was super flexible and did a great job with Cali!”

About: Hi there! My name is Fernando and I’ve been taking care of pets my whole life. Since I was a kid we’ve always had all kinds of pets; dogs, cats, birds, ducks, even an armadillo. I have experience as a dog walker and pet sitter. I was the daily dog walker of a 13-year-old Bull Dog for the past 2 years, and sadly, he passed away a couple of weeks ago. I’m also currently helping some families when they travel. I take care of 3 beautiful and playful Golden Retriever, and I also do drop-visits and walks for another family with a Maltese. I love dogs! Being surrounded by them and playing with them gives me so much happiness and energy! I’m here to help you with anything you need and take care of your lovely friend 🤍 BTW, the picture on my profile is with my 2 little pugs that I had to leave in Mexico with my parents when I moved, and I miss them every day. I’m currently an Au Pair while I’m finishing my college degree, so I have a lot of free time while the kids are at school, to be specific I’m free from 8 am til 3 pm everyday (except when there’s half days of school). And I’m also 100% free on weekends I always make sure the pet is comfortable and safe, with my services of dog walking, pet sitter and drop-in I always follow all the indications that are provided to make sure the pet is safe.
