Pet Sitting in Barrington

“Allia is fantastic! We worked with her for the first time this weekend because our daughter had a 1st birthday party, and our dog Cooper gets anxious around children he doesn’t know. We asked if she could take him for a long walk or excursion and she provided an excellent experience the whole way through. She was on time, professional, has great energy, and greeted Cooper with a hug 😊 You could from the Rover pictures how happy she made Cooper the whole time they were out together; she treated him like family. She sent pictures throughout her time with him, took great care of him, and had great communication about her arrival time back. We’ve been looking to build a strong list of go-to dog sitters/dog walking partners, and you can bet Allia is on our list! Thanks for everything, Allia, and we (and Cooper 🐾) look forward to working with you again!”

“We really like Alicia! Alicia is very responsive and easy to work with. They sent us a report after the visit with a video of our kitties and took care of everything we requested. We’ve already booked Alicia for house sitting next!”

About: I have had pets my whole life. I have had many dogs and some cats as well. I can train puppies, have lots of patience with them, and can love on them all day long. I have 2 dogs. Someone is always home, so pups are never unattended. We have a 11 year old daughter as well who loves animals and loves to help care for them. We have 3 acres of land, and a log home. We have a cable to hook up dogs who like to wander, but can allow dogs to run loose if they are well trained.

“Luca was very professional. He took excellent care of our fussy kitty while we were away. He provided photos and updates daily. We are so happy to have a reliable person to cat-sit. I 100% recommend Luca.”

“After a quick meet and greet we booked a few drop-ins with Suzanne for our German Shepherd. She was really friendly and had detailed Rover cards. I’m so glad we found her!”

“My puppy was so happy when I returned from a much needed day out. Jill gave her lots of loving attention making her first visit by a pet sitter a positive experience. I don't think she missed me at all.”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all different breeds and sizes since I was young. Neighbors, family and friends have relied on me to let their furry friends out for potty breaks, walk them, feed them, and even stay with them in their homes while they are away. I am currently working full time at a dairy farm/farm store until I head back to college this fall. I can be with them before and after work. My hours differ day to day but we can make it work! I can care for your animals in whatever way you need. If they are not able to free roam in your yard, I am willing to leash walk them. I will play with them for as long as they want and I will make sure they are fed on whatever schedule you currently have set for them.

“Taylor won over the acceptance of my shy babies. That was great so she could see how their health was. Did a good job and gave me peace of mind. Thank you again.”

About: My remote work makes it possible to spend my days with my dog Winnie, who I adopted from the wonderful Schuyler County Humane Society last year, and still be able to walk or visit other dogs or cats for anyone who is not able to work from home or has plans out of town and can’t bring their furry friend. My schedule is pretty adjustable so let me know when you need someone and I can likely help out. I work remotely and am able to more or less make my own schedule so I can walk dogs during 9-5 hours too. Sometimes there is a gap between projects and I have even more availability. At this time I would not be caring for pets in my home but would possibly be available to watch a pet at a client’s home.

About: I'm the kind of person that would have a hundred dogs to take care of if I could! All of them would be rescues. I would love to help you take care of your animals while you're at work or away. I am a Hands-On, play with the dogs , make sure they get love and affection , walks and proper care. It would be a pure pleasure to be able to help you be confident that your animal is taken care of while you're away at work. I must admit I suffer from a little bit of empty nest syndrome as my youngest child graduated and went off and is now doing her own thing, it makes me purely happy to scratch a dog behind their ears and have them be just delighted.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, from big to small. Friends and family have frequently called on me to watch and love their pets while they are out of town- and I don’t know who enjoys it more- the fur folks or me! I also volunteer with a farm animal sanctuary and have a lot of farming experience with a larger diversity of animals. I do work full time, but I have fairly flexible hours and work remotely at times. My primary times of availability would be in the mornings before 10 am and after 5pm until bedtime. I will assess the pet’s or pets’ needs and figure out a schedule that will work best for them to ensure seem-less care and stress reduction while their owners are away. I give love very freely and love a good snuggle! I want to make your fur kids feel as happy as possible while you’re away.

About: My experience with animals but more cats than anything but I have grand puppies that I love and have taken care of. I have had them overnight and have gone to their house out my personal schedule to let outside, to feed and love. I have two cats that is not just pets but are like mine and my wife's kids. Kiki is 13 year old female and she is very active and loveable at times. Max is our 18lb baby who is a clown and very active. My grand puppies are two Huskys, a black lab and two mix breed dogs who I have partially help raise. All in all I love these animals as family members. I would do the same for yours. My schedule is flexible. I have another job where I shop and certain days of the week is slow. This would be perfect to fill the slow times from my other job Well our two cats are very much loved. We don't have fenced in yard but we built a cat patio so our two cats would get fresh and feel safe.
