House Sitting in Bolingbroke

About: I’ve been around animals and have taken care of them for as long as I can remember! I’ve worked with my mom, who is a veterinarian, for a long time to take care of pets! I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to learn the best ways to take care of them. When I come to take care of your pet I will dedicate my time to loving them. My whole life I have grown up with pets including both dogs and cats! I have always looked at pets as an important part of the family so I will always treat them like so! I am currently home full-time and am available for walks or drop-ins when needed to take care of your fur balls! I will always try to make time for them! When I come take care of your fur babies, I’d love to do whatever it is you already do to make them comfortable! I’d love to take your pups for walks at the park, or just play a game of fetch if that’s all they need!

About: WHO LET THE DOGS OUT??? Me! So he/she can join me on a nice cool walk. I’ve taking care of dogs my whole life. From vet visits to fostering dogs until they found their right home. I stopped fostering dogs A few years back, it started to become very hard for me to let a dog go after spending so much time with them. I’ve been a dog mom my WHOLE life. At this point, my schedule revolves around my dogs, a mothers job is never done! I do not have kids unless you want to include my dog. I look forward to making time to fit your dog into my life. I have patience with them. Not all dogs learn and move the same. Especially with a new face coming around. But with my knowledge and my loving energy, your dog will easily fall in love with me.

“Took great care of my big dog. Very polite and provided lots of photos and updates!”

About: I’ve always had a thing for animals. I worked at a dog grooming place as well. Walking/playing, bathing, feeding. I love all kinds of animals. I work a part time job, so I will make time for your pets. You can trust me to give the best care to them. I am comfortable going to your house, keeping your animals in their comfort zone. I feel let’s do better in their own homes and space

About: I’ve taken care of many pets before; however that has been exclusively for family and friends. These pets have ranged from massive dogs to little pups, and I have loved every second. Currently out of school for the summer, and I have plenty of free time to take care of pets this summer. Any time works fine for me. I spend as much time as I can with my pets, and make sure they’re healthy and comfortable at almost all times whether that involves taking them on walks or making sure they won’t ever go hungry. They are rarely left alone for more than a couple hours.

“William did a great job over an extended holiday in a difficult situation where we had our pets and my daughter’s pet at the house. All the pets were happy and cared for. We would definitely use William again.”

“We are so thankful for Amanda! She took such great care of our elderly dog over the weekend and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well cared for. Her communication was excellent, she showed up early, and he even went the extra mile by cleaning the sheets afterwards. Truly wonderful experience. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”

“Amy was fabulous! She arrived exactly on time so we could make it to our event with plenty of time. She was friendly and so sweet to Journey. We were so comfortable leaving our dog with her so we could enjoy our wedding in a strange city/state where we knew no one who could dog sit. Thank you Amy and Rover!”

About: With a lifelong passion for animal care, I have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including birds, fish, reptiles, rabbits, and dogs. I am confident handling special care needs such as administering medications, as well as providing attentive support for puppies and senior pets. As a dedicated pet owner to my beloved Cockapoo, I understand the importance of trust and compassion when it comes to your furry family members. I would be delighted to provide reliable, attentive care for your pets. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time as an independent travel specialist, which allows me to create my own flexible schedule around the needs of the pets and families I work with.

Pets in my home are cared for like family. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and regular feeding schedules to help them feel comfortable and at ease while away from their owners. I understand how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I strive to make every pet feel happy, secure, and well cared for.

About: Hi! My name is shellawn and I am a 27 year old, pet caretaker, and a mother of one child who is 5 years old. I have one dog name prince who lives with my mother but I still help take care of my longtime prince. I am available for Home Visits for dogs. I can provide feedings, walks, fresh water, medications, and, of course PLAY TIME! Cuddle time is also my specialty :) I have owned and cared for all types of animals since I was 12 years old. Over the years I have been to many classes and courses on proper way to handle and train dogs of all ages, so I can also help with dog training, from house breaking to not pulling when on a leash/ off leash recall. I'm currently stay at home, so I have plenty of time to play and love on your babies, with multiple potty breaks a day, and walks. I stay at home so your babies will receive round and clock care, I have a dog park where I live so I can take any of the fur babies to the park to play and show them all the fun they can have running and playing together, in a nice quiet and safe neighborhood. Please note that 10 miles is the max distance for walks, please contact me prior to booking to be sure I can accommodate further distances for services. Home visits: I am background checked and can provide references as to my character and work. I realize how important it is for you to feel secure that anyone visiting your home to be reliable, trustworthy, responsible, and respectful. I will treat your home and precious babies with the same care and respect I would demand for my own needs, including frequent communication, attention to detail, and going the extra mile whenever that is required. You can expect me to clean up after your babies and make sure they are safe and comfortable. I document all of your instructions and can provide feedback as needed. Requested information if needed. I work part time so I have plenty of time to play and care for any pets. I am available around the clock for walks or play time. At my apartments, we have a dog park here that is fenced in. Also I am willing to take for many walks in areas that are safe and free of other dogs for safety precautions.

About: I have raised mini dogs over the years. I have also done work with All About Animals and volunteering. Glad to help and look over your fur baby. It goes great with my exercise and workout routine walking at the park and venturing around downtown going to different park’s to embark on new adventures. Always trying to make the pet feel comfortable while their owner is way. Trying to keep the pets mind distracted from their owner being away from the home for a long period of time.

About: I have been caring for dogs for most of my life since my early teenage years, almost 20 years ago now. My oldest dog prior to their passing was 15 years old and was with me from when they were a few weeks old, so I have experience with dogs at all life stages including senior care for dogs. I have pet-sit for friends and family many times over the years and always ensure that all pets have the best care possible and are well taken care of and know they’re loved. I take care of all animals in this way and would be happy to help take care of your precious babies, also! I have a free schedule throughout the week for any day availability, including weekends! I am able to do drop-ins and/or overnight stays if needed. I make sure to follow the routine set by the pet owners as clearly as possible, ensuring all animals have access to food, water, bedding, bathroom areas (inside or out), and whatever else they may need (i.e. specific things like medication, etc.). I also show plenty of love and affection to all pets and do my best to help them feel safe and know that they are in good hands.

About: With over a decade of hands-on experience and more than 700 happy pups cared for, I specialize in personalized in-home boarding and daycare. What sets me apart is the focused care I can provide while dog sitting full-time. Assuring each dog gets the attention, patience, and handling they need. Your dog will stay in a safe, clean, and calm environment, with full access to a fenced yard, plenty of toys, water, and naps. My home is kept to high standards of hygiene and comfort. Have a dog with special needs? I’m well-versed in supporting dogs of all personalities and backgrounds. Please let me know any concerns before booking. Want a sneak peek? I offer mini home tours Monday through Thursday so you can see where your dog will stay. From Friday to Sunday my full attention to the dogs. I won’t be available for tours during that time. At drop-off, I’ll meet you outside and calmly guide your dog in to keep stress low and the transition smooth. Communication is key. I’ll send you regular updates, photos, and notes so you always know how your pup is doing. Just a heads up: a day here is different from a day at home! Your dog may be extra thirsty or tired after all the play and stimulation—that’s totally normal. My daily schedule is entirely focused on the dogs in my care. I try to offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times to accommodate your routine. Each day is tailored to the specific needs, energy levels, and personalities of the dogs staying with me. Some dogs need extra rest, while others thrive in a constant state of play. No two days look the same. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a fenced yard with anti-dig protection, ensuring your dog can explore and play safely. Every dog is closely monitored, and I maintain clear, prompt communication. Cleanliness is just as important to me as care. I genuinely love dogs—and yes, I love cleaning too! Kennels and bedding are thoroughly sanitized after each stay, and the entire home is kept clean and orderly to provide a healthy, stress-free environment for everyone. My goal is simple: to create a positive, peaceful experience for you, your dog, and me. When dogs feel safe, clean, and cared for, that’s what I aim to deliver every day.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of hands-on experience, patience, and genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable working with dogs and cats of all ages, and I have specific experience with both puppy training and senior pet care. I am Currently Working from home so I am readily available! I also Have pets of my own so I am used to taking care of my animals and my adopted babies( your pets) on a routine schedule! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their pet’s routine consistent. I follow all instructions exactly—feeding, medication, walking routes, crate or bedtime routines, and any training the pet is currently working on. I maintain a calm, respectful presence in the home, keep the environment tidy, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and confident that their pets are safe and happy.

“Angela was wonderful. She visited before the overnight to meet everyone, and they all reacted positively. I came home to a peaceful house with calm animals, everything was clean and neat, feeding areas were ready for the next meal. She contacted me when one of the gang had an accident, about my preferred method of dealing with it. She arrived promptly and started sending pictures and updates. We will be having her to house sit again.”
