Pet Sitting Arlington Heights

About: 🐾 PREMIUM SERVICE: Off-Leash Dog Park Excursions Want your dog to get maximum socialization and energy out? I offer dedicated 1/2 hour to 2-hour trips to local fully-fenced dog parks like Roverwest or Estabrook. This includes pick-up, drop-off, active playtime, and a fresh water break. Message me for custom booking rates! While I continue to provide these premium off-leash park excursions, I am currently opening my schedule for new recurring, daily weekday walks to provide consistent, reliable care for your pup. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I am fully comfortable managing multiple dogs at once, maintaining your exact routines, and ensuring each dog feels safe, exercised, and cared for. Because I work from home full-time, I can take your pup on potty breaks as often as needed throughout the day. My approach prioritizes calm, structured walks, positive reinforcement, and clear communication with pet parents. I am highly experienced with overnight boarding, strict feeding schedules, administering medication, building leash manners, and providing constant companionship. I have a small, friendly Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Bob who gets along great with other dogs. With your permission, Bob can join our walks to provide extra socialization and companionship, which is especially helpful for dogs with anxiety or those who just enjoy gentle interaction. •SAFETY PRECAUTIONS• Your dog’s comfort and individualized care are always my top priorities. Please bring your pup with a secure harness instead of a collar for walks and outings. Harnesses are significantly safer, more comfortable, and help keep your furry friend protected at all times. My daily routine balances client care with my own dog's needs. I schedule every morning, midday, and evening walks, ensuring every dog receives attention, exercise, and socialization while my small, friendly pup joins safely when appropriate. I provide attentive, loving care for pets in my home including feeding, walks, playtime, and safe socialization. My small, friendly dog can join walks for companionship and comfort with owner's permission.

“Ilene was great! We have a foster cat in quarantine with an infection and wanted someone to spend time with him while we were out of town. Ilene was able to give him some quality time and attention, he was a happy camper. The updates we got were good and the photos were perfect. Thank you!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, dogs all through my childhood and cats all through my adult life. I have experience with caring for multiple animals and training as well. I have an open schedule at the moment, working on school online so I have a lot of free time. I love to walk dogs and sit at your home, as I have a shy kitten at home who doesn’t mix well with other animals. I love to make your animal comfortable, and I understand not everybody’s will warm up to you right away. I make effort to keep in contact with you to make sure your pet’s needs are all met.

“Travis helped us with hour-long drop in visits during the work day. We contacted him with short notice and he was quick to reply and help! Very friendly and professional, and he sent us great pictures of our pup.”

“Angela was great. The animals loved her and she left good descriptions and pictures with every visit.”

Aidan F.

“Hope was so amazing with my kitty! She left very detailed notes, giving me complete peace of mind while I was dealing with a loss in the family. Hope was extremely communicative and responsive which was very helpful. She not only made sure my kitty’s basic needs were met, but went above and beyond to play with her, too. Very grateful for a phenomenal sitter like Hope. 😇”

“Abigail is reliable, communicative, and reasonably priced. She messages you if she has any trouble and writes a detailed report with photos on how your furry friend is doing. If you are like me and worry about how your pets are doing while you are away, Abigail is an excellent choice.”

Jenni F.

“Jessica took such good care of my cat. She gave me updates each time and took photos. I am happy to have Jessica care for my cat and would book with her again.”

About: I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life and have had the honor of caring for others pets as well! I have cared for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, horses, and birds! I am currently in school and find myself with a lot of free time! I enjoy going for walks and playing with my cat that lives with me! I live in a gated community with a fenced in dog yard! I know lots of great walking areas to bring your dogs too for a little fun adventure!

“Katie consistently goes above and beyond. Our cat was alone during a snowstorm and power outage, and Katie communicated with us right away that our automatic feeder wasn’t working. She worked with me to come up with a mitigation plan, and she offered to check on our cat the next day to make sure the kibble had dropped, even though we hadn’t booked her for another visit. She is an AMAZING sitter and very kind, generous human.”

“Miranda was prompt, communicative, and reliable! She clearly loves dogs! We will definitely request her services again.”

About: From family pets, growing up on a farm, pet sitting in college, to multiple years taking care of animal ambassadors as a naturalist, I've been working with and caring for critters of all sorts for nearly as long as I can remember! For critters in the pet category, I have been caring for indoor cats since 2018, from kittens to seniors and every stage in between, including administering medications. My family has had medium/large dogs (rottweilers, labs, and border collie and boxer mixes) my whole life but I have also pet sat for smaller breeds like Boston terriers and cavalier king Charles spaniels. My time as a naturalist gave me experience working with not only varied species, but varied personalities. From grumpy skunks to mischievous snakes and dramatic birds, I have extensive experience across the gambit. It also provided experience with very specific care instructions and detailed documentation. I like to provide pet parents with a thorough summary of my time with their pet so they don't have to worry while they're away. My schedule varies week to week from periods of no availability to periods of open availability, I will make sure to keep things updated so you know what to expect! In fall of 2025, I finished my 2,200+ mile thru hike of the Appalachian Trail. What does that mean for pet care? I LOVE to walk and do so whenever I get the chance! I would love to have your pet join me! I am very detail oriented and will follow your care instructions to a T! I also provide my pet parents a detailed summary of my visit for peace of mind, every time!

“Jackie was great! Kitties were very well taken care of. Pictures were sent throughout of them playing, having treats, etc which was nice to see while we were away! Would definitely use her again!”

Lindsey M.

“Melissa was very attentive to my cats while I was away for a week! She administered their medication, played with them, and made sure they were happy as can be :) Highly recommend!”
