Dog Sitting in Buffalo Grove

“Giada was wonderful & took great care of our cat while we were away. Our cat doesn’t tend to do well with new people but warmed up to Giada during our meet & greet almost immediately.”

About: I have had the pleasure and joy of being able to take care of lots of different animals for over 10 years. I spent some time on a farm where taking care of sheep, pigs, chicken, ducks, and the barn cats and dogs was a daily thing. Later on, I was the proud mama of a german shepherd named Bruno who stole my heart in every way. Unfortunately he is now gone since November of 2023. Since then, my lifestyle has changed and I am not able to have another dog of my own due to long working hours four days out of the week. However I love taking care of pets, especially dogs, and this is the perfect way to still have a connection with these wonderful creatures, even if they are not my own :) I promise to take care of yours as if it was my own! They will be royally treated with me! My Fridays through Sundays are free from other work and I would love to be able to take care of your pets, especially your dogs! I have a spacious home where your pet can feel free to roam and rest. I also have many trails I can take them on walks. There is also a spacious park area where we can play around if that's what your dog prefers! If I am coming to your home, I am more than happy to walk them short or long distances, play with them, or tend to any other pet needs!

About: 🐾 I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, and it’s been a lifelong passion. Over the years, I’ve looked after pups of all sizes—from a tiny 8 lb dachshund to strong, lovable 100 lb pitbull mix. My experience includes everything from energetic puppies to slow-moving seniors, each with their own needs and personalities. I currently live with two spayed female dogs who are well-socialized and have peacefully cohabitated with several foster dogs since last year. I regularly volunteer with Border Tails Rescue, providing a safe, nurturing home for dogs in transition. Through fostering, I’ve gained deep experience with behavior observation, gentle training, and helping anxious or shy dogs feel secure. I’ve managed feeding routines, administered medications, and supported dogs through recovery and adjustment periods. I’m especially mindful of canine body language and group dynamics, and I only accept dogs who are friendly with others to maintain a safe, peaceful environment. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I treat every pup with patience, respect, and the kind of attention I’d want for my own. 🐶 When dog sitting, I am home all day so your pup will have lots of attention. On the rare occasion I do leave the house, it's never for more than 4 hours at a time. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I share my home with two friendly, playful dogs—Miley, a 50 lb mixed breed, and a 75 lb American Bully—who are well-socialized and enjoy respectful canine company. My securely fenced yard provides space for supervised outdoor play, and my middle school children, who are also well-versed in watching and caring for dogs, help ensure everyone feels safe and supported. I only accept dogs who are known to be dog-friendly to maintain a positive, secure environment for all.

“Aury was so flexible with our Pepper. Originally booked for 3 days drop in visit, but due to our flight cancellations, we had to extend 2 extra days. Aury went above and beyond to make sure Pepper was fed and got his medicine, and the ease of adding extra days made me feel a lot better about not being home in time. Will definitely be using Aury again for our next vacation.”

“Anna was absolutely fantastic! She checked in on our cat Teddy everyday while we were out of town. She sent the best pictures and was really good at communicating. He is a typical sassy kitty and she was very patient and sweet to him. We will definitely be using her services again!”

About: I have a really deep love for dogs, especially senior pups. I’m naturally gentle, patient, and attentive, which I think older dogs really respond to. I take the time to understand each dog’s unique needs and personality—whether they’re shy, slow-moving, or just need a little extra comfort. I truly care for every dog like they’re my own, and I find real joy in creating a calm, safe space where they can feel at ease. Caring for pets fits really naturally into my routine because I truly enjoy it—it doesn’t feel like a chore to me. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, check-ins, feeding, and cuddles throughout the day. I’m used to structuring my day around a pet’s needs, whether that’s slow morning strolls for older pups, medication routines, or just being a calm presence nearby. I’m happy to adjust to whatever makes your pet feel safe and cared for. I always treat a client’s home with the same respect I’d want someone to have in mine—clean, quiet, and mindful. When I’m in their space, I try to keep things as calm and familiar as possible for the pet. I stick closely to their usual routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, medications, or just how they like to relax. I move slowly, especially with older or anxious dogs, and I pay close attention to their comfort. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and never alone.

“Gabrielle has consistently been so wonderful with our dog and cat! We're so thankful for how well she cares for them and communicates with us. We absolutely recommend her!!”

“We have never left our dogs with someone before/had someone come over to do drop ins for our dogs, so I was hesitant on trusting a stranger. But at the meet and greet, I knew Sarah was going to be awesome! She was thorough with her questions, got a great understanding of the dogs, even asked questions I didn't think of! I felt our home and dogs were safe with her the entire weekend. She gained our trust instantly (which is not something that happens often)! The dogs loved her and had the best time with her!?”

Sarah T.

“Jessica is absolutely the best! She showered our cat with so much love and attention while we were away for a few days. She sent pictures from each visit and the last 2 days she had him on her lap. I’m so jealous! 😁 We highly recommend Jessica!!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was nearly 14 years old. I have a cat currently, and have had dogs off and on for most of my life. I am often available on Mondays until 3 pm, Wednesdays until noon, Fridays all day, Saturdays all day, and Sundays all day. I have a lot of time available despite a full time job. I do not offer sitting or boarding, my apologies. However, I do offer walks and drop-ins. Thank you for considering me as someone to care for your kitty or pup!

“Yelizaveta is absolutely wonderful! She has cared for our four Pugs on multiple occasions and has done an amazing job! We highly recommend her!”

“Eran was amazing! Would highly recommend and hope to have her dog sit again soon! My dog isn’t great with everyone and she loved Eran so much.”

About: I’ve always taken care of my friends’ family dogs at home whenever they go on vacation. They trust me with their dogs because I’m responsible and care for them just like they’re my own pets! I’m available in the morning 8am to 1:30pm Tuesday Thursday Friday. Then in the evenings I am free! Depending on the weekend I am available as well! I’m so excited to make new furry friends. I have a fenced yard for my own pup. I always put my pup on a leash when we go for our walks and make sure I never leave him home alone for more than 8 hours if I am gone for the day / evening.

“Luna and Elina get along very well. Elina is timely, professional and caring.”

“This was my first time using Rover and I have heard mixed reviews. I also was very nervous leaving my cat home alone for 5 days. Debi made me feel so comfortable and stayed connected with me throughout the trip. I got pictures and updated on Oliver. I felt so comfortable knowing he was being loved and taken care on during the drop in visits. THANK YOU!!”

About: I have always had at least one pet in my life - usually dogs. Right now, I have two dogs of my own. I have had two puppies (at different times) and know the time and routine it takes for potty training. I have had a cat before as well and understand and know how Neto take care of them. I am currently a SAHM and excited to have time to do pet care. I love animals and happy to care for them and/or walk them. I have two dogs of my own and we have a fun and active life. We walk, play in our yard and have fun. We also snuggle and nap!

About: Hello, I'm Carla, and my passion for caring for dogs is deeply rooted in my own experiences with my beloved companion, Candy, whom I adopted from Orphans of the Storm when she was just a 1.5. Now, at the age of 13, Candy remains my faithful companion that has brought such joy to my life. Despite her age, Candy is an active and lively companion. Regular walks have proven essential in maintaining her overall health and helping with her arthritis. My canine journey began in childhood with my families love of English Bulldogs. Over the years, I've shared my home with a Chihuahua, Black Labrador, and English Bulldogs. While my past experiences include dog walking and boarding, a change in living arrangements prompted me to discontinue the boarding aspect. Recently, I've embarked on a new venture by volunteering at Orphans of the Storm, where I've been actively involved in dog walking. The joy and satisfaction I get from caring for dogs extend beyond my personal life, driving me to contribute to the well-being of other canine companions in need. Having faced the challenge of finding trustworthy care for Candy, I understand the importance of reliable and compassionate pet care.I approach dog walking with a thorough understanding of the responsibility involved. I have experience handling leash-aggressive behavior since that is how Candy used to be. I've successfully gained control over Candy, curbing undesirable behaviors like pulling, lunging, and barking. My commitment to the well-being and safety of every dog under my care is my top priority. I would love to meet you and your furry friend! Most weekdays I'm available from 8:45 to 1:30 and weekends I'm very flexible. I'm available anytime during May 31-June 9th. After June 12th-August 2nd, I'm very flexible during the weekdays and weekends. I do not offer in home pet sitting or overnights at your home right now. That may change over the summer. You are more than welcome to ask me though and I may be able to make it work.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and I treat every dog like they're my own! I have experience with dogs ranging from 15-70 lbs. I also have my own pitbull, Willow, who has dog aggression, so I have no issue working with all kinds of behaviors. I am currently looking for a full time job, so I have plenty of free time to care for your pet(s). I can do house visits and walks at any time of the day! I have worked with pups in an apartment and home with a backyard setting, so any enviornment that is comfortable with them is comfortable with me.
