Dog Sitting Buffalo Grove

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. My aunt has had dogs since I was born and I always would walk them and want to be around them to cuddle and play with them. I got a dog for my family 5 years ago and have taken care of it myself most of her life until I left for school. I would be able to walk some mornings if early but I have work runtil around 5 everyday. Weekends I am free until nights but am very flexible. The needs vary from dog to dog but I love taking them on Long walks, playing with toys, brushing if needed, and lots of love

“Jenny was reliable and Caring. She returned to our house on her own to check on our dogs when she was concerned! Would definitely book her again in a heartbeat”

About: I have a dachshund named Dylan and had 3 cats in my life, great with bigger dogs too such as my girlfriends Old English Bulldog. I work at a solar company this is just a service I offer on the side during the slow season. But I’ll make sure to squeeze your furry friends into my schedule There are plenty of parks where I can take your pet to, I also know of multiple specified dog play areas around buffalo grove, Lincolnshire, Vernon hills, palatine etc. I will feed them with what you tell me to feed them with, play how you ask me to play with them, and the rest of the rule setting is up to you!

“Krissy is extremely responsive and has great communication. She has save us multiple times, watching our dogs very last minute when other sitters have had to cancel. She takes amazing care of our two pups and we’re grateful to work with her!”

About: Ive worked with all ages, sizes, and breeds. I’ve worked with fearful and shy dogs, aggressive dogs, and 10/10 good dogs. I’ve fostered numerous dogs as well as medical cases. I am well versed in dispensing medication if needed. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because animals have always been a big part of my life. I’m used to balancing responsibilities while making sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I love making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or extra cuddles, I’m happy to make pet care a priority in my day! I like to discuss the animals needs and personality with the owner prior to meeting them to make the pet more comfortable. I care for every animal the same, like they are my own.

About: The dogs I have taken care of have always received excellent tlc. I am able to use commands, for example sit, stay, and place! I have experience with senior dogs administering oral medication. I will keep a close eye on the geriatric dogs and make sure they don’t have any issues. I am very flexible when it comes to caring for pets. I’ll be able to get to the pets as soon as I get off of work. If I don’t work then I’ll usually be open all day. I work 7a-3p. I’m off Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Unfortunately I cannot provide boarding in my apartment because it’s a 2 pet policy. When I’m in the clients home I’ll let the pet roam freely. I will also pick up after they do their business. I feel that a dog and human bond is really unbreakable, so I will be comfortable with any pet that I connect with. I’ll also need to know where things are, I.e food, treats, leash.

About: I’ve had dogs in my family since I was in elementary school. I’ve been responsible for things like feeding them, walking them, and taking them out at night and in the morning Right now, my only commitments are on Sunday mornings, when I teach religious school in Deerfield. I’m looking for my next full time job currently, and heard about Rover through word of mouth. I’ll take your dog out first thing in the morning and last thing before bed. I’ll feed them right after they go out in the morning, and before I have dinner myself. I’ll also walk them at least once a day, weather dependent

“Lindsay did a great job. She proactively offered to stop over to meet the dog in advance of taking care of her. She was timely and she sent pictures as requested. She also got along well with the dog. It was a great experience and I would definitely work with her in the future.”

About: I have long helped family and friends with watching and checking in on their own dogs and have had a passion for interacting and helping animals since I was young! I am happy to help however I can with making sure they are comfortable and content. I currently work full time in the evenings, so I have plenty of time in the morning and afternoons to play with your pets! Since I already have a routine established with taking care of my own pet, spending time and getting to know your pet’s routine will help build trust and comfort in the process. I always try to make sure I approach them in a way that they are comfortable and taken care of without making them feel threatened or not secure. I meet them where they are at to ensure trust is first and foremost.

About: Experienced caring for senior pets, diabetic cats, and pets who need medication or extra attention. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my top priorities. Nardie is a long hair part Maine Coone cat. He is about 15 years old and he is diabetic which means I give him insulin shots 2x a day. He is a sweet loving man who loves to cuddle and be by my side. Nardie likes fresh water everyday and a clean liter box. I make sure to keep a close eye on his pee pad in his box to ensure any changes in his urine output as well as his water intake I am currently caring for pets *clients home only* please tell me everything there is to know about your little one and I promise to pay close attention to their needs and ensure they are cared for with so much love! I am open most weekends and my weekday is flexible so please contact me and we can work out a schedule!

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I grew up with a dog and have always loved being around animals. As a former military wife, I frequently cared for other military families’ dogs while they were deployed, traveling, or on vacation, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pet! 😊 Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from energetic younger dogs who love long walks and playtime to older dogs who need a little more patience, attention, and a slower pace. I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their family is away! 🐶 Although I work full time as a therapist, I am more than happy to accommodate your pup’s needs anytime that is suitable for you!! 😉 I’m always very safety conscious with my fury friends and follow the owner’s instructions to a “T.” I give them lots of love and affection. 🥰

“Kaylee did a great job. Very communicative and flexible when there was issues with our garage door opener while we were away. Glad to have her able to check in on our dog while we were away for a trip.”

About: Hi! I'm Livia, and animals have been my whole world for as long as I can remember. Over the years my husband and I have had our own four dogs, two bunnies, and two ducks (yes, really!), so "a little bit of everything" is genuinely our specialty. We don't have any pets of our own right now, which is actually one of the best things about your furry friend staying with us. Your pet gets the run of the house with no resident animals to negotiate with, which is a huge relief for shy, anxious, or reactive dogs/cats who just need room to decompress. And there's a LOT of room. Our entire downstairs is 2,000 square feet and completely open to our guests, with dog beds tucked into every room so they can pick their favorite spot. Outside is a full fenced-in acre yard: space to run, sniff, and roll around in the grass without ever needing a trip to the park. Best of all, at least one of us is home all day, every day. Your pet is never left alone and never crated (unless you'd prefer them to be crated). We're happy handling puppies still learning the rules, seniors who need a gentler pace, medications on a schedule, and nervous pets who need someone patient. And if anything ever were to come up, we're literally a two-minute drive from three different emergency vet clinics. We're looking forward to welcoming your pet! My husband and I both work from home, which is the whole reason we're able to do this so well. There's no window where the house is empty - someone is always here, in the same room (usually being used as a pillow by one of our guests!). That means your pet's routine gets to stay your pet's routine. Whatever their feeding schedule is, we'll keep it. Meds at 7am and 7pm? Done. A dog who needs a mid-afternoon nap in a quiet room, or one who wants to be outside every hour on the hour? Also fine. We're not working around a commute, so we can build the day around them instead of the other way around. You'll get a few photos and updates a day, so you can see exactly how they're settling in. And we always do a meet-and-greet before booking, so everyone (including your pet) knows who they're staying with before the first night. Our yard is a full fenced acre behind a 6-foot privacy fence, so there's serious room to run with no gaps to squeeze through. Inside, our whole downstairs (about 2,000 square feet) is open to our guests, with dog beds in every room so they can pick their preferred spot. Cats stay upstairs in their own quiet, private bedrooms with the doors closed, completely separate from any dogs. We don't have pets of our own, so nobody's defending their territory when your pet walks in. Every booking starts with a meet-and-greet, and if we're hosting more than one family at a time, new dogs meet slowly and on leash in the yard before they're ever loose together. If any pair isn't a match, they get separated. Someone is home 24/7, so your pet is never left alone. We're comfortable with medications, senior pets who need a gentler pace, and nervous ones who need time. And we're literally a two-minute drive from three emergency vet clinics if anything ever were to come up.

“Jacky went above and beyond with our two dogs while we were gone for a week! One of our dogs got sick right before we left and she was so helpful giving his meds and watching out for his symptoms. I knew they were in great hands. Thanks again!”

About: I have been pet sitting cats and dogs for over 10 years. As my family as always been animal lovers, taking care of furry friends comes naturally to me. I love getting to help others while spending time with and caring for their pets. I am a substitute teacher and freelance creative, so I have a lot of freedom to build my own schedule - I usually build it weekly. This allows me to create the best possible schedule for my clients and myself. When I enter someone’s home to care for a pet, I have the utmost respect and care for a clients belongings and spaces. On a walk, I focus on making sure the dog is safe & being aware of our surroundings and having a good time enjoying the fresh air.

“Nick is awesome, cares so well for the cats and is fully recommend him.”
