House Sitting in Barrington Hills

“Erika did a great job sitting for our 2 dogs in our home. The dogs liked her, and she seemed to like them.. She sent pictures regularly. Our house was clean and tidy when we got home. Our greyhound, a picky eater, ate all of her meals. We got a full report from Erika at the end of her stay. It was so nice not to worry about our dogs or our home when we were gone for 6 nights.”

“Kaylee is a cat whisperer! My cat is afraid of everyone but me (and now Kaylee!) She took to her immediately, following her around, asking for pats, and even slept with her! Kaylee did just as good of a job with my 12 yo Aussie, taking him for walks several times a day and showing him great care. I would highly recommend Kaylee and have already asked for her to come back to sit my pets again!”

“Jacob was incredible. He stopped by to meet our boys last week. They immediately took to his kind calming demeanour. He was as very personable and kept us informed periodically throughout the day with pictures and updates on our boys. We are very thankful for him and would use him as our sitter again in a heartbeat.”

“Aury was super with our dogs - we have one that is very nervous and still new to our apartment and she was able to immediately win him over. She kept us informed during the whole time we were out and we couldn’t have been happier with her!”

About: I have helped raise three kitties! I have additionally helped to raise a puppy who was a bit reactive and required additional training. While it was tough, it was very rewarding and I appreciate the way it helped me better communicate with my dog. I am currently taking a very long break from corporate work, and would love to spend this year regrouping but doing one of my favorite things: Hanging out with and helping adorable animals! I am extremely flexible with my schedule, and willing to travel. Currently, I care for my pets by providing weekly brushing, daily feeding, daily litter box cleaning/rotation, weekly litter deep cleans, and play time. For dogs, I am comfortable, feeding, walking with a harness, collar, as well as a gentle-leader for our more reactive friends. While doing home visits, I am comfortable and happy to supervise outdoor/backyard time. I love long walks and am comfortable with dogs up to 100 lbs.

“Lauriel is very responsible with Archie. She is communicative, prompt, respectful and always available. She respects my home, and genuinely cares for Archie. She sends me pictures and updates and checks in on him on days she is not with him. She is quick to respond and always willing to help me out!”

“Ida is the best sitter on the planet. She took the best care of our lab mix, sent photos and videos the whole time and took great care of our home while she stayed for 4 days. We had some flight delays and Ida helped us last minute by staying an extra night and moving her own plans around. She is 11/10 and I trust her with our pup, home, and everything in between. Highly highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 9 years and have regularly volunteered with a local dog rescuer to foster dogs before they find their forever home. I have experience with dogs of all ages and look forward to caring for yours! I work from home most days and generally have the ability to move my schedule around if you need care multiple days in a row. I take frequent breaks for walks or play time with the dogs. I’ve got a large fenced in yard with plenty of room for your dog to run and play in. I’ve also got plenty of room in my house if a crate is needed. I’ll take care of your dog as if he or she was my own.

“Ravi was a perfect sitter! He was very communicative and sent lots of pictures updates of the dogs. They seemed to enjoy his company also based on how cuddly they seemed in the photos 😁. He also cared for the house well and it was tidy when we returned. Our flight was delayed and he was flexible with the end time, something that I know no sitter can guarantee but it was so appreciated! We would absolutely use Ravi again!”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life and love interacting with them and spending my time with them! Whether that’s just sitting around or being outside playing/walking! I’m very much an animal person! I work full time but 12 hour shifts so I only work 3 days a week. My work schedule is 7AM-7:30PM. I can wake up early to let them out and feed them and can take care of them when I get home but on my days off my attention goes to them when needed! I make sure I listen to exactly when and how the pets need to be cared for. I don’t over push the walks or the play time. I make sure if I am staying in the clients house that I keep it clean and listen to their rules and expectation for me staying. I also make sure I communicate often and keep up with updates to the clients.

“Lauren did a great job. The dogs were happy and she sent regular pictures to let us know how they were doing. She is easy to communicate with and we will definitely use her again!”

“Daniela was amazing! This was our first time leaving Gibson overnight for with someone and we couldn’t be more pleased with her. She sent videos and pictures through out the night to keep our mind at ease. Would definitely recommend and use her again! Gibson loved her!!”

“Justin did a wonderful job taking care of my social cat and sweet golden! The pets were calm and happy when I returned. Justin stepped in at the last minute and was very flexible. He sent me many photos and updates! Thank you so much Justin! I will call again in the future.”
