“Dorothy was outstanding coming to our house to feed and let out our 2 dogs. She was great with the dogs, responds quickly to questions and sent many photos while we traveled out of state for a wedding. We trusted her and did not worry about our dogs. I would highly recommend her services.”

About: I offer over a decade of pet care experience ranging from medical-needs seniors to high-energy puppies. My background includes: Specialized Care: Administering medications and senior pet monitoring. Cats: Experience with newborn foster kittens and adult cats. Dogs: Skilled in walking, feeding, and active play for all breeds and ages. I pride myself on being a highly attentive and trustworthy sitter. I’ve cared for everything from tiny kittens to energetic mutts like Ethel and Pickle, and I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I currently work a flexible part-time schedule, which leaves me with plenty of open availability to dedicate to your pets. Whether you are heading out of town or just need a consistent weekly walker, my schedule allows me to be highly attentive and present throughout the day. I believe every pet is an individual, and I pride myself on being highly adaptable to their specific needs and your personal preferences. Whether it’s a strict feeding schedule or specific walking habits, I am here to provide consistent, respectful care. I focus on in-home services, meaning your pet gets to stay in their 'safe space' while receiving my full care and supervision.

About: **PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING PET/HOUSE SITTING** For Pet sitting, I typically do not spend the night in your home. I have my own pets & children and prefer to stay in my own home. What I do provide is basically a discount on a bundle of drop-ins (at least 4) on a schedule that works for you and your animals for example - a check-in in the morning between 6-8am, 2-3 drop-ins during the day, and then a longer evening drop-in between 7-9. This service is perfect those pets that do not need someone with them all night :) If this works for your pets, please reach out! Note: If you reservation is less 3 days or less, I am open to discussing staying at your home after a meet n' greet :) I provide steady, attentive care for animals of all sizes—helping them stay comfortable and relaxed in their own routine while you’re away. Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I bring a steady, attentive presence that helps them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. My experience includes everyday care for companion animals as well as hands-on work with horses, including equine bodywork, which has strengthened my ability to stay calm, observant, and responsive with animals of all sizes and temperaments. I follow routines closely—feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter care, and all the small details that matter—and I adapt my approach based on each animal’s personality and needs. Whether your pet is social and energetic or shy and routine-driven, I meet them where they are. You can expect clear communication and consistent updates while you’re away, so you always know your pets are safe and well cared for. I am currently looking to fill in some gaps in my schedule and should be able to accommodate most pet owners and their pet care needs. I follow care instructions closely and treat both your pet and your home with respect and care. Safety, routine, and clear communication are always my priority. If anything comes up or you have questions, I’m easy to reach and will keep you updated while you’re away.

About: I am a Special Education teacher who works at a Therapeutic School by day and an animal lover all day and night. I do not have kids but I have 3 cats and babysit my friends and families fur babies any chance I get. Pets have free range of my home, they can relax on the couch, chair and bed whenever they want. I have experience watching dogs from pups-elderly. I volunteer at a local animal rescue in Palatine and bring in therapy dogs to visit my classroom. I rescued and adopted a deaf kitty with one eye, and I've always had animals in my home. I am a non-smoker and vegan (vegans really do love animals). For any overnight/weekend stays, I will be home and available to play, go for lots of walks and hangout all weekend long with your fur baby. Regular walks, feedings, playtime and relaxation based on your dogs needs is my priority. I have three loving cats who will keep your dog company. I have a small backyard that is away from cars/traffic and a large front yard. I have a dog tie out and spiral stake for dogs that want to roam around my unfenced front and/or backyard. Playdates with neighboring dogs is always an option or solo, quiet time if they prefer. I can keep your pet on their walking/feeding/play/sleep schedule as you request.

“Doug was great with our cat! He spent a lot of time with him, taking care of all his needs and giving him a lot of attention! We can leave our cat in his care, knowing he will be well taken care of and we won't have to worry about him at all. We highly recommend Doug to take care of your pet, as they will be left in very good hands!”

“This was my first experience using Rover and Jacqueline & Uriel were wonderful! I loved the updates they sent when checking in on my cat Pumpkin. They successfully administered her asthma inhaler twice a day while I was out of the state. The communication and professionalism they both displayed was very much appreciated. My cat Pumpkin loved their pets and playtime visits!”

Hanna P.

“Becca did a great job watching my cat—super responsive and easy to work with. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if I need a sitter. Highly recommend!”

Thomas F.

“Madeline was reliable, on time, and wonderful with our dogs. We have a new puppy who is very hesitant and she worked well with him. Madeline communicated with us before, during and after the visit. She took adorable pictures of our dogs. We already booked another visit with her.”

Lindsay W.

“Evelyn was such a pleasure to meet! My dogs (and even my cat!) quickly took to her. She was gracious enough to search around for any potty accidents when my new puppy escaped from her gated area. My dogs were worn out from all the playing they did. Thank you so much Evelyn!”

Daniel G.

“Kaylee did a great job. Very communicative and flexible when there was issues with our garage door opener while we were away. Glad to have her able to check in on our dog while we were away for a trip.”

“Rachael is so sweet and so good with my shy boy! She made sure to spend time and play with his favorite toys and went above and beyond!! So grateful my boy got to spend time with her while I was gone!”

About: Hi I’m Janie!! I'm 19 & I absolutely love animals. For years I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to care for their pets—whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays—and I love giving each dog the attention they deserve. I make sure every furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I work 2 part-time jobs, typically in the evening 5-6 days a week. Even with my schedule, I have plenty of free time and am happy to work with you to make sure your pets get all the love and attention they deserve!! I love keeping dogs happy and comfortable by sticking to their usual routines. On walks, I make sure they’re safe and have a fun time. During drop-in visits, I can handle feeding, water, playtime, potty breaks, and anything else your dog needs.

“Jaime was fantastic. I always feel a little uneasy giving our house keys and garage/alarm codes to others but I didn't worry about it this time. She inspires trust and I felt that right away when we first met her. And believe all the reviews - Jaime does take amazing photos. She was able to take some great shots of our kitties! It was very comforting and reassuring to see all the photos while we were away. We will definitely be working with Jamie again.”

Olga M.

“Audrey went above and beyond for my three babies while I was away this weekend. She is so sweet and gentle with my animals and followed all instructions perfectly. Took great pictures and spent extra time with them if she was able to. Super flexible hours and days as well. I’ll hire her any time I need a sitter in the future. Thanks so much, Aubrey!”

Sophia G.

“Nadia was great! Very friendly and took excellent care of Mochi and Roxy while we were out of town! I would highly recommend her! She’s reliable and always left good feedback for us. We will definitely use her again.”

Gail E.

“Jessica dropped in to see my cat twice a day while I was out of town and did a fantastic job. She was punctual, consistent, and seemed to really do well making my cat feel comfortable and safe. It’s a relief to know that I can count on her for our next trip!”

Marisa G.

“Jessica & Luis saved us when our original sitter fell through last minute. They were a joy to work with. Communicative, friendly, and our pups loved them. We will definitely be calling them again!”

Casey H.

“Kelsey watched our cat for a week while we were out of town. She was always on time, took great photos and took excellent care of “our boy.” An issue came up with our garage door opening on its own, and Kelsey quickly got in touch with us and manually closed the door. And she made sure our house was secure. She made us feel completely secure knowing our house and our cat were being taken care of. We would definitely use Kelsey’s services again.”
