Dog Sitting in Bartonville

About: New to pet sitting, but not new to pet care! I treat every animal like family, and understand the love, patience, and responsibility it takes. :) I am currently working part-time! I am available on certain days throughout the week to do visits, walks, or daycare. I even can on some weekends! I have both a fenced and unfenced yard! I also have 3 siblings (6 and older) who love, enjoy, and have fun playing with all animals too! :)

“Erin did a fantastic job! She was willing to adjust her schedule to accommodate my schedule change. She attended to Shatsi as requested and kept me in the loop - loved the pictures! She can be counted on to meet her commitments and is an excellent communicator. I intend to be a repeat client. Thanks again Erin!”

About: Everyone who knows me knows I love dogs. Specifically, they are familiar with my love for our dog, Leia, and how she is a part of our family. She’s an important part of everything we do and the decisions we make, so I know how important it is to care for and love on your dogs. I have ample time during the day throughout the week to help you care for your sweet pup! I look forward to being available to assist you in keeping your dog healthy and happy! Communicate your pet’s needs, and I will go above and beyond to meet them. I love my dog dearly and completely understand how important your dog’s safety and happiness is to you and your family. I will treat your dog like my own, and I am happy to send photos and updates from our time together!

About: I have grown up with both small and large dogs as well as puppies. I also have a cat of my own for five years. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible! I can leave on breaks to go check on them or stay at your house overnight to watch them. I live very close to walking trails to take them on walks. I can stay at your place to make sure someone is there to keep them company. I am open to walk/play with them as much as they need. I will take care of them like they are my own pet.

About: Hello! I am very passionate about dogs and will provide loving, patient care while you are away from home. I have fostered many puppies and adult dogs in my home through a dog rescue in California for 5 years, and continue to do the online work for that rescue from my home in Illinois. I have two fur babies of my own Espresso and Lucy, and our two cats mostly hang out in whatever room the dogs are not in :) We have a secure, fenced backyard with room to run. Dog cuddling and treats are a staple here, as well as walks, frequent potty breaks and playing with toys! My six year old daughter loves dogs but also respects boundaries and will leave them alone if they don’t want attention. I am prompt, professional and respond to texts/calls in a timely manner. Please contact me if you have any questions! I am a stay at home mom attending school online, so frequent potty breaks, cuddles and playtime are constantly available to them, or whatever else they might need. I have a fenced in yard and ample room to get the zoomies out. Dogs are welcome on the couch and I have a few dog beds available too.

About: I have had dogs in my household all my life. They’ve become my family and I care for them as such. I am a dependable student who spends all of her spare time loving her cats and dogs, animals are one of my passions. Currently, I have two dogs in my household who I take care of and love everyday. Personally I don’t go out of town a lot regularly so I’m available most days but I will update my schedule regularly if I will be out of town. I’m open to staying at your house to watch them, or just dropping by to let them outside, or even just to make sure they feel safe while you’re gone. I plan on caring for your dogs, just like I care for mine. I have two cats of my own that I take care of completely, but I also help out my family with their three dogs we currently have in the house. Whether it comes to grooming or dog walking, taking them outside, I’m always prepared to do what makes the animals happy. I always treat anyone’s pet like my own. Any safety precautions the parents want to take including letting a friend come by to visit while they are gone, or photos updating them of their pets, I will always be comfortable with. If it were my pet I’d hope for the same.

About: Hi! My name is Rina, and I’ve always had a genuine love for animals. I have hands-on experience caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing lots of attention and affection. I’m comfortable following specific care instructions, sticking to routines, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their needs, energy levels, and comfort cues. Whether it’s an energetic walk, a calm cuddle session, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to plan my schedule around feedings, walks, drop-in visits, and quality time, making sure each pet gets the attention they need. I’m reliable with timing, flexible when plans change, and happy to accommodate specific routines. Whether it’s quick check-ins or longer visits, I make pet care a priority and make sure every visit is calm, consistent, and stress-free. When caring for pets in my home or theirs, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions closely, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I respect each pet’s personality—whether they’re playful, shy, or independent—and adjust my care to meet their needs. Cleanliness, safety, and communication are always priorities, and I make sure owners feel confident and updated while they’re away.

“She did wonderfully with the dogs, and they loved her. They got energy out well!”

About: I've had dogs almost my whole life. I've taken care of puppies, seniors, and special needs dogs. I love to go on walks, so if your furry family member needs a long walk I'm your gal. I can help with training, and if your baby doesnt have good leash manners? Don't worry. I work full time on second shift, with a varied schedule. However I'm usually able to pop in somewhere before work and take care of your pets. I wouldn't be ideal as a house sitter, or a boarder, but I'll happily check in on your babies and take then on walks. I like to make sure animals have plenty of time to sniff me out and get used to me. If you're cool with me giving them a treat, I may use one to bribe them. Otherwise I let the animal come to me. I'll feed your dogs exactly the right amount of food, let them out for the right amount of time, and exercise them at however long you want. Dogs and cats deserve respect and understanding. I'm not going to change their routine in addition to being a strange person.

About: I am known to be an animal whisperer and I very energetic :) I usually watch most of the animals in my family why people are taking vacation. Currently not working looking to pick up some clients to alleviate that. I enjoy being outside and having that companionship. So if you're looking for somebody full time I'm your woman. Well it depends on the house rules! You always have to abide by what the animal and owner are used to. Saying that please put in your requirements in the description and I will follow!

About: I am a graduate student at Bradley University in the Physical Therapy program, so caring for others, including animals, is my passion! I have lived with and taken care of two different dogs, a cat, hamsters, gerbils, and fish since I was only one year old! I have walked and taken care of numerous neighbors' animals throughout my time in high school and now into college. I also gained over 100 hours of volunteering at Barb's precious rescue in Palatine, IL which houses all ages of cats! I am a graduate student at Bradley university, so my hours are very flexible! I have most afternoons and mornings off! I start class at 10 am every day and am always done by 3:30 pm, with long breaks during the middle of the day. I currently do not have a job on weekends, so I am available most weekends besides some holidays. Unforchantly, I live with four other roommates, so I can not board dogs, but I am open to whatever your pet may need! I can stay at a house if need be or come 3-4x per day if that is what you prefer! I study about 5-6 hours per day, so I can come for periods to study and just be with the animal(s). I am very flexible! I will do whatever it takes to make your pet feel safe and happy!

“Olivia did an awesome job caring for my two cats! Was able to come out ahead of time to learn the lay of things.”

“Jenna has been awesome with our three month old Pyrenees mix! My only fear in sharing such a good review is that someone will snatch her at the times that I desire her help! LOL! No seriously, she does a great job!”
