House Sitting Belvidere

“Elliot was FANTASTIC watching our pup! We got updates and pictures the entire time we were gone. We came home and she was all snuggled up next to him. Super star pet sitter. We will 100% use him again! Thank you, Elliot, for taking such great care of our girl.”

“I recently hired Jake as my dog walker, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! He truly went above and beyond my expectations. Not only did he take excellent care of my dog, but he also picked up my mail and even cleaned up my house, which was a delightful surprise. Communication was top-notch; Jake kept me well informed throughout the entire process and sent me tons of pictures, which made me feel connected and reassured while I was away. His attentiveness and dedication to my dog's well-being were evident, and I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog walker!”

About: My family has had a pet dog for my entire life. More recently I adopted two older dogs from the area shelter and provided them both amazing years of love and comfort. I am a client support contractor which allows flexibility in my daily schedule to care for your pet needs. I have availability generally on shorter notice. Pets are family. I will follow your specific requests to address any concerns, individual behaviors and unique pet personalities. Each of our special friends deserve it.

“Amanda was wonderful with our pets! She took great care of our dog and cats in our home and even agreed to take care of my brothers dog at the last minute. My brothers dog can be temperamental, so I felt bad but she was patient and gentle and willing to deal with his “quirks.” She also kept us informed and was honest. We would definitely hire her again!”

About: I’m lucky enough to have an open schedule, which means your pet will get my full, undivided attention without being left alone for long stretches of time. I’ve taken care of a little bit of everything - dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs - so I’m really comfortable adapting to whatever unique routine your animal needs. My love playing with animals, chilling with them, and just watching them do what they do. One of my biggest strengths is working with pets who are on the shy or anxious side. I know how stressful it can be for them when their owners are away, so I’m incredibly patient. I know how to read their body language, give them the space they need, and just let them open up to me at their own pace until they feel completely safe. I am currently on summer break from college and take care of my own dogs at home. I make sure to give them everything they need from walks to play to just sitting around together. My main priority is keeping a constant eye on your pet and sticking as close to their normal routine as possible. Whether I'm staying at your place or visiting, your pet won't be left alone for long stretches, which really helps prevent separation anxiety. While I'm in a client's home, I will treat it with total respect and keep everything secure. I will make sure that all doors and gates are locked securely every time I leave your home, and I always keep dogs on a leash during walks. Because I have experience with everything from energetic dogs and cats to smaller pets like guinea pigs, I’m very aware of safety and choking hazards, like making sure small items or dangerous foods are out of reach.

“Ashley was amazing our dog bonded with her immediately and she went the extra mile to do a meet and greet prior and arrived on time and stayed until we got home even though we were delayed. She gave our dog daily medication and sent many photo updates throughout the stay. She was super tidy and we will be a repeat customer for sure and loved having our dog in such capable hands.”

“Cristel took the most amazing care of our dog and cat while we went away for a week. She has a very warm personality. Our dog loved her from the second he met her. Our very shy cat even came out to spend time with her. She’s very professional and thorough. She sent us great texts and pictures every day. We had such a great vacation because she made us feel very relaxed and comfortable that our fur babies were in great hands. She made us feel like she loved them as much as we do. We came home to a spotless house. It looked like it was deep cleaned. I can honestly say she’s one of the best caregivers we’ve ever met. I highly, highly recommend her.”

“Robert did great with our 2 Great Danes. He gave daily updates with pictures and was very responsive to all texts. He stuck to the dog’s schedule and made sure they were well taken care of while we were away. I definitely plan to use Robert again next time we go away!”

About: Since I was born, I’ve always had dogs! Over my life, I’ve had seven dogs of my own. I currently have 3 large dogs, one medium. Since I was ten, me and my family have been fostering dozens of dogs of all different kinds! Newborn puppies, seniors, and every puppy in between. I’ve dealt with aggressive dogs, skittish dogs, and nervous nellies. I love dogs no matter what! Since beginning to foster, I’ve had to train many dogs, both younger and older. I’m skilled in leash training, commands (sit/lay/come), and much more. As of right now, my schedule is completely open! I am happy to accommodate to early mornings, late nights, and everything in between to fit you and your puppy’s needs! I live in the woods, far from dangerous, busy roads. I have PLENTY of room for running, playing, and walking. I have multiple walking trails behind my house, as well as a pond that my puppies love to play in. I currently have two very friendly dogs at my house, who can be separated need be via a soft gate I have in my home. I have multiple crates available if your puppy needs it. My house is full of toys, treats, and dog beds. A dog’s paradise! If not in my home, I will be sure to abide by all house rules set by my client!

“Yani was excellent! She took such thoughtful care of our boy, Tukee, and kept us updated with photos and videos throughout our trip. Coming home to a calm, happy cat was the best feeling. You could tell he’d gotten plenty of attention and love while we were away. She even left us a handwritten thank-you card, which was such a sweet touch. We’re so grateful and will definitely book with her again!”

About: I grew up in the countryside so i have always been around many animals since my childhood years. I've taken care of dogs and cats of many breeds , I grew up in DR so I had a dog whom gave birth 3 times within the same year and I delivered 9 pups each time. I took care and nurtured all of the pups prior to finding them a new home. I also always took care of two dogs my godfathers sisters had whenever she would travel to Florida they would stay with me. I do it because I love animals and rather make sure their in good care than looked at by someone who’s careless. I work at the wind creek , my free days are Sunday through Tuesday and I am available any time. Wednesday through Thursday from 7-5pm are my working hours. However on these days Between 6pm-10pm I can be available. If needed I can also stay the night , Feeding will be done at 5:45am with a quick potty break prior to me leaving at 6:30am. Furry friends can run free at home and outside , i like taking them on walks and playing with them where with my CoCo i give her treats as she does the things I ask of her like Sit , Stay Still , my dog loves these games. This is a safe space we also have a camera outside monitoring everything. At a clients home I always follow their instructions, usually most clients would leave a small instruction pamphlet for me which I always follow.

“Maurie was great with our dog Finn for a week. She gave many updates and stuck to his routine, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. I would definitely recommend Maurie for your needs and will book again in the future!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better house / pet sitter! I was out of state visiting family for the weekend, and having someone so reliable and attentive in my home gave me total peace of mind. Knowing both my babies (cat and dog) were so well cared for allowed me to truly relax and enjoy my trip without a worry. I loved receiving regular updates and photos throughout the weekend—it was nice to see my pets happy and comfortable in their own home while I was away. My home was left in wonderful shape, and both of my pets were clearly loved and spoiled. This is the first time I have used Rover for pet sitting and it worked out well. I will book again if needed and highly recommend her for services anyone looking for caring and trustworthy pet care!”

Crystal S.

“Amazing care! We got so many pictures and a few videos throughout the 11 days and Hero was well taken care of. He has a habit of eating things he shouldn't and there was only one minor incident that we were told of right away (and thankfully hasn't caused any issues). We're looking forward to booking them again!”

About: I’ll take care of your beloved pet as if they were my own — with love, kindness and patience. Most of all, I will be sensitive to their needs and limitations (i.e. making sure pavement is not too hot, monitoring them for cold/ heat exposure, etc.) I will make time to fit you and your pet's schedule to walk your dog at the optimal time. Flexible with regard to weather, esp. for pets who are sensitive to heat and cold. During each walk I am prepared to keep your pet safe and protect them from other animals and traffic depending on where we walk by carrying bear spray, air horn, head harness, water bowl, or whatever the situation calls for. I also have an access to car pick up if there is an emergency. Ask me about the charity I am donating to, and a promo code to save money on your first booking! I am à school speech therapist and have limited availability. Right now I am willing to take on 1-2 clients per day. If you are able, please request a free trial / meet and greet before your first booking. I can walk your dog in your neighborhood or take them to a park for a fun outing! If they are not up to walking on that day, we can just play or smell the grass together! My goal is for your dog to have an immersive, engaging walk so they are can rest when they get home- dog and human together, enjoying outdoors with all 5 senses!

About: I have four huge dogs and three cats and I am the primary caregiver for all of them. This includes, walking, playing, cleaning droppings, changing litter boxes, watching them overnight. I have open availability all throughout the week at any time usually. Just let me know when you’d need me and I can let you know if I’m available that day, I have a cozy home with plenty of spots to rest, fenced yard and crate if requested. They’ll always provided with playtime and bathroom breaks. They’ll get personalized care depending on their breed.

About: Through pet and house sitting, I’ve discovered how much I love caring for animals in their own homes—learning their personalities, keeping their familiar routines, and helping them feel comfortable while their people are away. I have 10 reviews on TrustedHousesitters and have been welcomed back by several families for multiple stays, with more repeat sits already booked for next year. My stays have ranged from short visits to several months. Owners consistently mention my attentive care, regular updates and photos, and the peace of mind they feel knowing their pets and home are in good hands. I’ve cared for puppies, energetic dogs, senior dogs, cats, and households with multiple pets. I follow feeding and medication instructions closely and adapt to each animal’s needs, whether that means walks and playtime or a gentler pace and quiet companionship. I’m also a proud dog grandma to my daughter’s French bulldog, Capri! I work remotely as a parent coach, which gives me flexibility to plan around your pet’s routine. Whether I’m stopping in or staying overnight, I bring patience, affection, and attention to the little things that matter to your pet—and to you. I work remotely as a parent coach, so I have flexibility to fit pet care into my day. I plan around the routines we agree on, including meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and company. During overnight sits, I enjoy settling in with your pets and keeping their days familiar. Quiet time with a cat nearby or a dog curled up beside me is one of my favorite parts of working from home! For drop-in visits, we’ll arrange times that fit your pet’s needs. I do have scheduled client sessions and occasional commitments, so we’ll talk through how long your pets are comfortable being alone and make sure my availability is a good fit before booking. I care for pets in your home, where they have their familiar surroundings, favorite spots, and everyday routines. Before a booking, I like to learn about their personalities, feeding schedules, medication needs, and any habits or concerns—especially things like door-dashing, hiding places, or worries around other animals. I follow your care instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and use a leash on walks unless we’re in your securely enclosed yard. We’ll go over your vet’s information and emergency contacts so I know who to reach if something comes up. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, and I’ll let you know if I notice a change in your pet’s behavior, appetite, or comfort. I respect your home and privacy, keep pet areas and litter boxes clean, and tidy up after myself. Several families have welcomed me back for repeat stays. I take that trust seriously and want you to feel comfortable asking questions or sharing the little details that help me care for your pets the way you would.
