House Sitting Buckeye Shaker

“I can't say enough great things about Avery! I left my dog Denver in their care and felt completely at ease the entire time. Avery sent frequent updates and photos throughout the stay, which meant so much. It was clear Denver was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. Their communication was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Any question I had was answered quickly, and they were proactive about checking in, which I really appreciated. Most importantly, Avery treated Denver like their very own dog. You could tell the love and attention they gave was genuine. If you're looking for someone you can truly trust with your fur baby, look no further. Avery is the real deal. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, My most recent experience has been long term care for friends and families dogs. I offer to walk dogs multiple times a day, as well as check in multiple times a day. I also offer personalized behavioral training a recommendations. I have particular experience with behavioral issues like separation anxiety and difficulties walking on a leash and getting overwhelmed with various stimuli. Previously, I fostered large dogs with behavioral issues for the SPCA for 5 years. I have experience with dogs that are reactive, anxiety ridden and once with medical issues. I fostered the dogs until the issues are either managed or resolved and they are ready for adoption. I have experience primarily with large dogs. I am used to long walks and hikes with dogs. I primarily keeps dogs on leash but in the right circumstances I will let them off leash. However, I am very picky. I am open to walking l, check-ins and boarding. I’m in class a few times a month and working 1-2 days a week so I have times of availability to care for your pup. Thank you for considering me, Celine I’m a graduate student with minimal in class time so I have plenty of time to play and cuddle your pup. I love long walks and play time. I enjoy finding engaging activities that keep them mentally stimulated. I would like to get a sense of your pup and aspects of their care that are most important to you. This could be frequency of walking, caring for behavioral issues or simply giving them lots of cuddles. I can be in your hole where your pup is most comfortable or bring them to mine.

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, and other pets my whole life, trained my own dog myself, and provide flexible, attentive, loving care for animals of all kinds. I currently work part-time as a lifeguard at a local pool, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to walk, feed, play with, and care for pets throughout the day. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by following their normal routines, giving them attention, exercise, clean spaces, and constant supervision when needed.

“Our experience with Christina was wonderful. She kept in contact, sent pictures and was very responsible. She was very thorough with the house, Ruby's needs and everything we expected. She is a very sweet girl. We would definitely have Christina again. Ruby loved her.”

About: I am a huge animal lover; I’ve had pets my whole life and know how much a routine matters to them, especially during a stressful time apart from their family. I’ve cared for a diabetic dog, giving insulin shots three times a day for years, and also babysat a diabetic cat — so I’m comfortable with medication schedules and special-needs care. I’m an active person who treats every fur baby like they are my best friend because that’s what they deserve! I have a flexible schedule and work from home Mondays and Fridays, so those days are perfect for midday walks or potty breaks — I can easily fit your pup into my schedule without rushing. On weekends, I’m open to house sitting or home visits, giving your pet consistent, attentive care while you’re away. I don’t board pets at my own home, so all care happens at your house, keeping your pet in their familiar, comfortable environment. During home visits or house sits, I follow your routines closely for feeding, walks, and medication, and I’m experienced with special and elder pet needs. I treat your home and pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

“Angela was great! She was very patient & gentle with my anxious dog during the meet & greet, so I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her! They seemed to get along great during the stay. Angela was good about sending pics & communicating. Would hire again!!”

About: Between my Burmese-Rottweiler mix and Chihuahua-Weiner mix, I have plenty of experience working with both small and large dogs! On top of that, my family has owned cats for as long as I can remember. I’m a full-time college student working part-time on campus, so my schedule is relatively busy. I am always willing to work and modify my schedule — we’ll figure it out! I believe trust is extremely important with this — so I will do my best to instill that within my customers. Respecting your homes, property, and space as well as loving your pets is everything to me!

“Sydney was great! We had to book her short notice due to our usual sitter falling through, and she was very quick to communicate and was great with the dogs.”

“Finding Kaley was a dream come true for my last minute trip away from home! Knowing she was keeping my dog company was very comforting and she was very adapting to his little idiosyncrasies! She kept in communication with me and made sure my expectations were met for his care!! Thank you again!!”

About: I have 5+ years of experience walking and taking care of dogs, and I’ve loved every second of it. Exercising with a furry friend is always on my agenda! I am currently a full-time student at DePaul University in Lincoln park! I only have a class or two daily, leaving me open weekdays from 8-11 and 5-10! Weekends my availability depends, but I am flexible! I love to exercise and find ways to get my walks in daily, the buddy would just be an added plus! I currently live in a dorm, so any services would need to be provided outside of my residence. Im willing to stay overnights most days, depending on distance to Lincoln park / the loop.

“Michael was awesome! Took great care of our girl and kept us posted with pictures and messages. So glad we decided to have him stay in our home as our dog is older and we didn't want to disrupt her routines. Would highly recommend and plan to use again.”

“Mont’e was absolutely amazing! He provided excellent care for my cat and dog while house sitting. I was pretty nervous to leave town and Mont’e was super kind and professional. He updated me regularly, took my dog on walks, and even took her to his family’s Christmas Eve celebration (after asking of course) because I was worried about her having separation anxiety! Mont’e treated my pets as if they were his own and when I came back they were both super calm and relaxed because of the great care provided. Mont’e was also super respectful of my home and left it very neat and tidy! Highly recommend Mont’e for all pet sitting needs, I’ll definitely be asking him to come back!”

“Devaney took such great care of our girls! I am always hesitant to leave my pets with a stranger, but after meeting her I knew they’d be in great hands. My house was left clean and she even washed the guest room sheets and towels. Wow— I will definitely use Devaney again! Thanks a bunch!! 🐶🐈‍⬛”

“Sophie was absolutely wonderful. We had her stay at our home while we were out of town for a week. She sent us updates multiples times a day letting us know how our dog was doing so we didn’t have to worry about her once. She left the house squeaky clean and was very respectful of us and our things. Not to mention our pup absolutely loved her and their hikes together. Will definitely be booking with Sophie again.”
