Pet Sitting Avondale

About: Friends and family have asked me to take care of their pups for many years. They always have peace of mind that I will provide loving care that is intentional and not just another chore on the check list! I work full time in mental health, but I love spending time with pets so much that I want to add this into my routine! I have Sundays and Mondays available, and am also available for early morning care other days of the week as I do not begin my work days until 10am. I have 2 cats (orange tabbies that are brother and sister!), and would love a dog one day. My fur babies are a bit shy, so I cannot provide care at my home, but I am happy to provide care through walks! I always let dog(s) get to know me first by taking my time greeting them, winning them over with treats and pets, and getting to know their personalities before taking them out.

“I was nervous for my first time using Rover, especially with my senior pug! Elyse was so responsive and respectful with her communication about my dog Bella! I had a great time getting detailed updates daily about my dog, I enjoyed myself and got to see that my dog was enjoying herself too! I will be hiring Elyse again whenever I leave town next!!”

“She was available at short notice and did an excellent job! Super reliable! She was able to figure out everything from complicated written instructions. Highly recommend- thank you so much!!”

“Joel was absolutely awesome! He came a day before to meet my dog and learn how to care for her while i was away for the weekend. He sent pictures and updates, and it seemed like my dog had a great time with Joel while I was away! I would definitely book Joel again to do drop in visits if I go away in the future!”

“Roy went above and beyond to make sure each short drop in took care of any anxiety I could have being away from my furbaby. And my cat seems to like him even more then I do because I got lots of cute/funny updates. Roy followed my odd directions better then anybody else I’ve booked, and I really appreciate how thorough he was throughout the whole process, double checking everything. 10/10 recommend and will be booking again if he’s available next time I’m heading out of town! Thanks Roy. 😊”

“The best sitter for our pup! Salem is our weekly dog walker and is always on time and very communicative, but the best part is how much our dog loves them. We also just used Salem for a four weekend of dog and house sitting. We appreciated the frequent updates and photos, particularly about the medication our dog needs at precise times each day, so we really felt that Ferris was in amazing hands all weekend. So glad we found this gem of a person!”

About: I grew up in a large family and everyone had multiple pets. I have trained several of my own dogs. I recently lost my dogs. Let me spoil yours! I have always had rescues. I currently am working from home. So I am available all day, any day, as well as nights. I would love to spoil your pups! I am in Avondale right by 90/94 and the blue line (belmont/addison stops). I have a large pet friendly house with a fenced in yard (5 ft shy of a double lot). Dogs are allowed on furniture and beds. I have multiple floors if dogs need to be kept separate. Drop off is super easy. There is a fire hydrant directly in front of my house and parking behind my garage as well. Since I accept multiple dogs I only accept over 1 year, fixed and friendlies.

About: Ive had experience with dogs for the last 15 years but cats my whole life. I recently had to care for my senior dog which included using IV bags daily and lots of medication I’m recently unemployed so am available to take care of walks or drop ins any time of the day. I’m not available for pet day care since my cat doesn’t get along with others I always make sure to approach each animal with care and awareness. I typically would like to meet the pet first so we can establish a relationship and comfortability

“Dinara did a great job with our cat while we were away for a weekend. She was attentive, friendly and responsive! Will definitely book with her again.”

“We have had Sarah and Justin watch our two young cats several times now, and we are always so happy to leave our cats in their care when we are away. They go above and beyond, provide wonderful updates and pictures, and always leave the litter box area clean. Plus, they were able to get our shy cat to warm up to them! Thank you both for everything, it is much appreciated!”

Emily K.

“Amy was super communicative and responsible.”

Riley B.

“Jackie did a great job watching our cats while we were out of town. She was easy to communicate with and left our place clean. Definitely would use her again!”

Courtney C.

“Isaac was a great sitter and I'd definitely book with him again. He was especially patient on the first day when the lock to my apartment wasn't working and did a call with me to figure it out which is much appreciated! Thanks, Isaac.”

About: I grew up on dogs, cats, and Steve Irwin! I love animals! I tend to use a "whisperer's" approach to new animals. I let them decide when they are comfortable enough to approach me for pets. I work as a flight attendant, so my schedule can be pretty hectic, but when I am available, I will open up my Rover schedule to sitting and drop ins. Crating is no problem if that is how you train your pet. I'm very conscientious towards your pet's comfort level. I will make sure they see me as a friend rather than an intruder.

“Second time having Sophia watch my cat Anna. She was very communicative, took a lot of photos, and played with her making her comfortable while I was out of town.”

Dustin S.

“Vanessa did a great job taking care of my cat when I was away for a semi-long vacation. She was also flexible when I had cancelled flights which I so appreciated. Thank you!”

Katrina K.

“Wonderful experience with Erin. Very professional and communication was great. Even sent a pic of all the pups in one frame which is hard to do. Would recommend.”

About: I currently have two cats whom I love and devote lots of my time to! I have also grown up with several dogs and small pets that have given me the experience of performing a variety of different tasks and responsibilities. I am a researcher at Lincoln Park Zoo and am switching to part-time work for the fall, so I have a great amount of flexibility in my schedule. For drop-in visits, I am capable of doing whatever is needed (crating, feeding, playing, etc.). I have experience walking difficult dogs who would rather walk me instead, so I am confident I can manage that, as well as putting on a harness/leash. :-)

About: I have volunteered daily at my local shelter back in California for two years, giving dogs love and fear free training. I specialize in dogs with anxiety and aggression issues. I also have my own (very anxious) dog back at home that I raised for 6 years. I miss having a dog very much and am excited to give your dog some love! I am currently a college student. All my classes only meet once weekly so I have a lot of time on my hands to care for dogs! Sat, Sun, and Mon, I am available all day. Tue, Wed, Thurs, I am available after 4pm. Friday I am available after noon. I make sure to develop trust with a dog prior to walking or caring for them. The dogs comfortability is my first priority. I am happy to give your dog plenty of love and affection when they are open to receiving it.

“Emily is a fantastic pet sitter and I can't recommend her highly enough! She took such good care of my two cats. She's easy to communicate with and reliable. I'll definitely be asking her to sit for me again!”
