Pet Sitting Arlington Heights

About: Hi there! I'm Dan, a sitter with about a year of experience of dog sitting. For as long as I can remember I've been surrounded by dogs, be it at home or at a friend's or family member's home. My home is accommodating and in a very walkable neighborhood (Arlington Heights!) with an abundance of parks and recreational areas. I typically sit dogs aged 2 and up. I work at the Arlington School District, so I am usually free in the afternoons after 3:00 pm on weekdays and am usually free all day on weekends. When I have a pet to sit, I am very attentive of their needs and will try to take them out for a walk at least once every 2 hours. I have a wide, open backyard, and although it is unfenced I always keep pets outside on a leash. I can accommodate for any special needs your pet may have, be it administering medicine or bathing.

“Bonnie was absolutely wonderful taking care of our two cats over the holidays! From our meet and greet she asked great questions and took notes on all our care instructions for the cats and while watching them she made sure to send us lots of updates, videos, and pictures each day. Thank you Bonnie!”

About: Me and my wife Hannah have been around animals since childhood, and currently have a dog who we rescued. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on us to walk, feed, and play with their pets. Let us help you and your furry friend! Currently have a flexible work schedule so available any day with proper notification. Can walk, run, or play with your pup, just let us know! Plenty of toys to play with making for a fun environment. Lots of walking trails and fields in the neighborhood to get out some energy.

“Max did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away! 🐱 He was incredibly attentive and made sure my cat felt comfortable and loved the whole time. I really appreciated the updates and photos he sent — it gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in great hands. Max went above and beyond, not just feeding and cleaning up, but also spending quality time with my cat, which made a huge difference. Highly recommend Max to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and responsible to look after their pets. Thank you, Max, for treating my cat like your own!”

“James dropped in on our cat for us while we were away for a weekend and did an amazing job! From sending hilarious pictures and videos while spending quality play time with her to going above and beyond by dealing with some house issues that arose, we could not have felt that she was better taken care of. And I think she found a new best friend!”

About: Hi there! I'm Devika and I identify as a certified dog aunt to all pups in the land. In all seriousness, I feel very attuned to dogs, including those with unique, diverse temperaments and needs. I grew up with a family dog, a shih-tzu named Leo, who passed away after a beautiful 14 years. After graduating, I didn't have the resources to commit to a full-time dog as much as I love them. There began my fostering journey during which I cared for 10+ dogs (varied breeds, sizes, and ages), anywhere from a few days to several months. During their time with me as their foster mom, these pups were able to begin acclimating to domestic life and working towards getting ready for their forever homes. Each foster experience was so special and I learned something new from each pup. That curiosity and attentive care is what I bring to dog care. Outside of my endless love for pups, I am a clinical psychology doctoral student which brings a whole other facet to my dog care. With my background in trauma, anxiety, and behavioral interventions, I also bring an astute and knowledgeable eye to caring for animals. This includes trauma-informed care (no restraints unless absolutely necessary for safety), thoughtful approaching, and gently authoritative training (only if indicated). Importantly, I completely respect the autonomy of pet-owners in how they want to raise and care for their pet, and will carry out duties with utmost care and diligence. My top priority is for your pet to feel safe and loved, and for you to have peace of mind while you leave your baby in my care. Please reach out with any questions and I'd love to connect more! I am available on weeknights and weekends to for dog-walking, drop ins, and house sitting. I can dedicate my time to providing your animal with utmost care. I live close to Beaver Brook Reservation and am also able to go to more secluded areas if your dog is sensitive or has other needs. I provide updates during your pup's time with me and am a strong communicator about scheduling. I care for pets in a safe, thoughtful, and generous way. I am able to adapt to the dog's needs, and am happy to accommodate to the level of care you prefer and need. I am so excited to meet you and your pup!

“Anna was fantastic! She visited my home to take care of my two cats while I was out of town. Anna was punctual and always provided an update with cute pictures of my fur babies after her visit. This was my second time booking Anna and I would definitely book her again!”

“Samichya and her husband were fantastic caretakers for my two beagles. They were wonderfully communicative throughout the stay, always quick to respond, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in such good hands. I came home to happy pups and a house left in great shape. Highly recommend their care.”

About: I am a high school teacher on summer break with lots of extra time to walk, play with, and take care of your pets! I grew up with three adorably needy golden retrievers who thought they were laps dogs and a delightfully sassy cat, so I am used to taking care of cats and dogs, big and small! I've also lived with cats in adulthood and taken care of them while my roommate was away. I adore animals and have excess amounts of love to give them since I don't yet have another dog of my own! My services: I am here for walks, park visits, and home stays (chock full of lots of pets and general attention) in the Boston-Metro area! My location: Somerville, MA I'm currently on summer break and while I'll be in and out of town for different trips/weddings I have a lot of availability and flexibility to provide walks, extra care, or overnight stays with your pets! I treat all dogs and cats as if they were my own, showering them with tons of love and attention. You can expect your pet to be a little spoiled and to be sent a ton of adorable pictures!

“Izza was incredible. She was prompt, took care of everything we asked her to, and sent a bunch of updates every time. We will be using her again when we travel!”
