House Sitting in Birds

“Sarah did a wonderful job with our five year old Boston Terrier. It was the first time we’ve left him with someone and were nervous how he’d react. Sarah did an outstanding job keeping with his schedule and handling his anxiety (and ours). Before staying she visited twice to get everyone comfortable and learn about our dogs’ specific needs and behaviors. During her stay she sent a lot of updates and photos and even indulged us with some FaceTime calls to say hello. By the end of day 1 they were fast friends. She also left the house spotless. I’m so pleased we found Sarah and would call her again to watch out furbaby.”

“Jennifer stayed with our Lab mix Hazel for the last week and we were so happy with how things went! Hazel got lots of walks, play time, snuggles and love! She stayed in touch with us several times a day and sent pictures?. Not only did Jennifer take wonderful care of Hazel, but also took care of the mail, garbage, and pet hair - it all made our trip that much more enjoyable! We can’t wait for Jennifer to come back for our next trip!”

“We would definitely use Rachael again! She was great with all 3 of our dogs - even the little Chihuahua mix who has a bad habit of going potty in our mud room! She sent us pictures of the pups and communicated with us while we were gone and even played with our ferrets! We highly recommend Rachael!”

About: Although I have no professional experience working with dogs, growing up I have owned several. As a result, I have turned into a huge dog lover, and I am very comfortable around all breeds and sizes. In addition, I have handled dogs with varying types of demeanor from some that are more nervous and submissive, as well as those who are more dominant. I treat and love every dog I meet as if they were my own. :) I actually did Rover for several years, but took a break as I moved to the UK for a bit. I'm back in the Chicagoland area now though as I figure out next steps, which means lots of time for walks, playtime, and snuggles as I navigate the minefield that is LinkedIn. I'm always happy to check in throughout the day with pictures and videos as I want to make sure you feel confident that your dog is properly taken care of while you're away. Please reach out if you have any further questions! Other languages: fluent in American Sign Language, conversational in Spanish. As mentioned, I'm currently readjusting to being back in the States after living overseas for a few years. As of right now, I've got very open availability. I'm currently unable to have pets in my home. But I'm happy to meet your fur baby where they are and follow whatever routine they've got set. Just let me know!

About: I've had my share of pets since I was probably about 6 years old and my love kept growing with them. I currently have 3 pets; 2 dogs (Pitbull and a Doberman mix) and a cockatiel. They are my world, along with my husband and 7-year-old twins. I work part-time so I can do late mornings, evenings, and/or weekends to fit your needs. I have a 4-hour break in between my morning work routes and I am off of work by 5 pm. How I care for my pets in my household, may be different from your house. I am able to adhere to any and all rules for your fur babies.

“Juniper did a wonderful job taking care of our pets! She house sit for us -- showed up on time, sent pictures during her stay, and tidied up before leaving! Thank you”

“Alison was great to work with. We appreciated her flexibility with our schedule, was very responsive and sent pics of our fur baby. Everything was neat and in order when we got back home and Keke looked very happy. We will definitely use Alison for future bookings.”

About: Ive grown up with pets my whole life from puppies to seniors. This makes me versatile in taking care of any pet age, even training. I love any and all breeds of dogs with no preference. I also have had multiple dogs at the same time my whole life so caring for multiple pets at a time is no problem. I am currently home from college for the summer so my schedule is almost always open. I work at a restaurant in Plainfield a few nights a week for a couple hours otherwise I’m always available for your fur babies. I am very flexible in your personal rules of watching your pet. Crating, walking, or even supervised outside time are all things I respect along with anything else you specifically need for your pet. I have also had large and small dogs. I would love for your pet to stay in routine so I will try to follow that as closely as possible

About: Longtime pet owner and animal lover here! Nice to meet you :) From one pet owner to another, I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your pet while you are on a trip. That is why I feel so passionate about easing those worries and taking the best care of others pets for them. It is so special to be able to spend time with your fur babies, and to assure you that they will be taken care of so you don’t have any worries! It is my mission to take care of your pets as if they are my own. I always make sure to include lots of play and cuddle time. I include daily walks as well. I especially love to play games with them to tire out those active brains and make things more fun! Hide the treat is a favorite. I am currently in school part time. 3 days out of the week I am gone for about 5 hours. Every other day I would be there most of the day, and never gone for more than a couple hours. During drop in visits I always make sure to spend a few hours with the animals. Playing with them, taking them for walks, and of course giving them all the pets and loving. I know how hard it must be to be away from their family so I make sure that they have the best time while you are away and do not spend too much time alone. Whatever safety measures you require in your home I can make sure to accommodate! I can crate your dog if needed. And I always make sure walks are safe.

“Elizabeth was so helpful taking care of our two dogs while we were away! She didn't just let them out, but also walked them and was super communicative about how they were doing. We are so grateful for all her help and felt very confident our pups were well cared for in our absence.”

About: Dogs give us their love, loyalty, and undivided attention. So why shouldn’t we. Nothing would bring me more joy then to help make sure that happens! I have had dogs around me all my life I have taken care of or owned dogs of different sizes and ages. I follow instructions well and take into account tips I’m given on what each dog prefers. I would not mind Using some time I have with your pet(s) working on tricks or training that you think they might need practice on. My overall Goal is for you and your pet(s) to know that I can be trusted and they are safe and being loved When you’re not around to do so! Hope to make your pets day!

About: I have had dogs and animals around me and in my home or families homes since I can remember and I'm going to school to take care of them and have learned a lot about the nuances of dogs in my university classes and I'm always up for the challenge to learn more I can work weekends and Sundays and Saturdays evenings after sundown with some deviation because of other events I have this summer, on weekdays I can pet sit and do walks and play on weekends I can do walks and play time I have a dog that I would put away so your dog can get comfortable in my home if needed or take the dog to a park

About: I have taken care of dogs and all kinds of pets since I was a child, for friends and family! I have experience with many different breeds of dogs ranging in different sizes as well as many different ages. I currently am only pet sitting/dog walking so I have plenty of time for drop-ins and dogs walk to keep your pets happy and healthy. I have a fenced in yard with lots of room to play your pets, as for in your own home I can play fetch in back yards as well as take your dogs on walks!

“Jorden was very nice. He took good care of the dogs. There weren't messes to clean up when we got home. We were very happy with our choice to have him watch our pets. we would do it again.”

About: I’ve overnight babysat puppies and dogs and have fostered cats and kittens with the lovely organization Anticruelty. I’m currently taking care of my three fur babies. I’ve personally trained my dog Koda basic and more advanced commands, (sit, stay, paw, bow, speak, wait, high five, to potty on a potty pad and outside, etc.) I’m on the road to success with my other dog Zulu. He has achieved commands like sit, stay, roll over, paw, down, being potty trained, etc. Additionally, I’ve worked with my cat Darla on not getting on countertops, no curtain climbing, no couch scratching and being gentle with humans around her! I currently work a part time job as a swim instructor as well as attending school as a senior. Weekends work best for me but weekdays are doable! If you’re willing to work with what i’ve got, i’m willing to work with you and compromise! I strongly believe in respect and security. No matter what, I will treat you and your fur baby with the respect that I would want my own to be treated with. I would never purposely violate the privacy you’ve entrusted me with. Besides that, I have a fenced in yard and two very social dogs to keep your fur baby company!
