Pet Sitting in Carol Stream

“Samantha is awesome. Caesar was very shy when first meeting her and I always get nervous because he is a pit bull so just one bad interaction can ruin his life. She did not act like he was a nervous dangerous dog, she just treated him like he was a dog. If Samantha can watch your dog, you’re not doing your dog any favors”

“Grace was AMAZING and is so knowledgeable about dogs and their unique needs. She was so patient and knew exactly how to get our dog with bad anxiety more comfortable. We really appreciate her help and the updates during the drop- in visit.”

“Kristy did an outstanding job taking care of my two cats. One requires administering a pill and she managed it well including cleaning up their occasional mess. Thanks Kristy!”

About: I’ve done 30+ volunteer hours working with animals, so I take animal care seriously. * I’ve spent time volunteering with animals, including cats and dogs, and I’m comfortable around all of them. * Over 30 volunteer hours means I’ve learned how to safely and patiently work with different types of animals. * I have experience with animal care and understand that each pet has its own personality and needs. * My volunteer work has helped me get better at handling and caring for cats and dogs with patience and respect. It’s currently summer, so I’m free basically every day and have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to provide care throughout the week and adjust as needed. On Saturdays and Sundays, I work part time as a pizza worker for about 4 hours, but I can still be available before or after my shifts depending on the timing. The rest of the week I have full availability for pet care and walks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and safe. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, and are walked or played with depending on their needs. I pay close attention to their behavior so I can notice if anything seems off. I also make sure the home stays clean and everything is left how I found it. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, care, and respect as if they were my own.

“Maria did a great job on taking care of our Jo!”

About: I've taken care of pets ever since I was a kid. When I was in high school, my family hosted dogs of all sizes, including one of my favorites, a Burnese Mountain Dog named Ruby. Lately I've had the chance to watch my brother's two dogs (as seen in my bio pics) when he travels. I work a semi-active full time job over the week, with plenty of energy to spare when I'm not working. I am fully available over the weekends from Friday evening straight through to Sunday! I also am free on weekdays for walks or drop-ins as long as it's before 7:30 am or after 5 pm. Your dog will stay in a cozy, smoke-free condo where they are welcome on the furniture and bed. While I don't have a yard, I love taking long, frequent walks around the neighborhood. For their comfort and safety, I host one family at a time and ask that owners provide the dog's preferred bed or crate if possible

“Paula was great with our 2 pups. She did a meet and greet beforehand which was so nice! She was fantastic with them and brought over games to help engage them during her visits. The picture and notes after each visit were detailed and made us feel better about leaving our pups home knowing they were well taken care of.”

About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats in my day! I love to walk dogs in the northwest suburbs. I am an elementary teacher and I also have 4 years of experience bathing dogs at PetSmart. I am currently working part time, so I have good availability to walk your dog(s)! I am most available in the summer. Dogs dogs dogs! I am a calm and lively person who can make your pets feel safe and happy. I have experience in the pet industry so I know a lot of tips and tricks for working with animals.

About: I've been a full time veterinary assistant for 5 years now. I've loved animals since I was a child. I pet sit friends and family pets. I work really close to my apartment. I am able to take care of your pet before and after work. I can stop by my apartment on my lunch break and take care of your pet, if needed. I do not work on weekends. My apartment has a dog park, but I do like going on long walks. Play time is essential. Giving treats as a reward for training.

“We were so thankful to Kristen for scheduling a drop-in visit on very short notice. She checked in with us and sent great photos letting us know our doggies were well cared for. We will definitely reach out to Kristen in the future for pet sitting needs.”

“Annika is so wonderful! I could not have asked for better care for my girl. I’m so thankful for her help and I know Wink was happy to see her everyday!”

About: I’ve grown up with German Shepards my whole life and have experience with training and walking them. I also have 7 years experience with in home pet/house sitting dogs of all sizes, from Jack Russel Terriers to Saint Bernard's. I find that keeping the pet in their own home helps with the stress of their owners being away. I have no problem administering medication as I’ve done that before. Every dog I take care of immediately becomes family! I am currently an online college student that works part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pups! Walking dogs keeps me active and overall spending time with fur babies keeps my spirits high! I have no issues following any type of schedule your fur babies are on! Rain or shine I always stand outside with the pups whenever I let them out to go potty. I take weather/heat advisories into account before we go on walks and I always bring water for the doggies on walks. Whether they’re a bedtime cuddler or crate trained, I am flexible and will make sure to fit your fur babies needs.

About: Hey there! I'm a dog mom and certified dog trainer committed to caring for all dogs I meet in the best way possible! Aside from being a certified dog trainer, I work full time in a daycare/boarding facility and have experience with so many different temperaments and breeds. Working with dogs is my passion. I have three high energy dogs of my own and I understand how important our family furbabies are, and I care for every dog I work with as my own. My entire life involves animals and pet care. I am very fortunate to be able to provide more care while seamlessly adding to my routine! Safety is everything and I take it very seriously! Aside from strictly following any safety protocols you give me prior, I will put safety first in every situation! In addition to be being consistently attentive and with your dog, I will always take extra precautions such as frequent safety checks around the home, securing doors, back up leashes if asking for walks, and of course monitoring any changes and updating you throughout the day. Most importantly I will listen to your dog's body language at all times and give them any space needed. Keeping your dog physically safe, comfortable and free of fear are my main priorities always!

About: For me, being around animals isn't just a job, it’s second nature. I’ve spent over 15 years caring for pups of all shapes and sizes, I know how much your dog means to you because I’m a lifelong animal lover myself. Whether it’s a long afternoon trek or a quick backyard play session, I’m dedicated to treating your furry family members with the same love and patience I give my own. I am available for evening walks after 5:00 PM throughout the school week, with full availability on weekends. My schedule also mirrors the school calendar, meaning I offer extended, full-day care during Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter breaks—giving you a dependable option when you travel for the holidays. My home is fully equipped for a relaxing stay, featuring a secure, fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and a variety of premium dog beds for lounging. As a proud owner of a geriatric dog myself, I am deeply experienced in providing extra assistance and 'tender loving care' for seniors or dogs with mobility needs. I also have a dedicated playpen area for pups who prefer their own cozy, private space

About: I have always had animals and I have a genuine love for animals of all kinds. Spending time with pets doesn’t feel like a job to me — it’s something I truly enjoy. I’m naturally attentive, gentle, and patient, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pet very seriously. My job is flexible so I have the time and availability to assist with whatever your needs are. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needing a calm presence, I adapt to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m reliable, organized, and committed to following your instructions closely so your pet’s routine stays consistent while you’re away. You can count on me to provide regular updates and photos, so you always feel connected and reassured. My goal is simple: to treat your pet with the same kindness, attention, and respect that I would want for my own. I would love the opportunity to earn your trust and care for your furry family member. I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to devote to your babies! My schedule allows me to fully devote myself to whatever instructions you leave, even if it's time consuming. I will love and enjoy every minute of interacting with and loving on your pet(s). When caring for pets in your home, I am respectful, responsible, and detail-oriented. I follow your pet’s routine exactly as instructed to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure your home remains clean and secure, double-checking doors and gates each visit. I pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and well-being, and I communicate regularly with updates and photos so you always feel confident and informed. My goal is to provide safe, reliable care you can truly trust.

About: I am a high-energy individual who loves all types of dogs! Rover is my first "official" platform, but I have been pet-sitting and caring for dogs since I was young. As I got older, I gained more responsibility and more training with the family dog. I have had a lot of experience with adopted dogs, young and old, and promise to provide the best care while you are away. My parent's current dog that I care for often also has given me experience with regular medication/monitoring health concerns while also providing superior care. If your dog loves to play outside, go for a run, soak in the sun and play tug of war (but also sneak a nap in too), I am your pet-sitter! I am currently a fitness coach that works non-normal hours, so I can spend time with your furry baby during the day! I can also stay long hours overnight if needed to keep your pet relaxed while you are away. Depending on the day, your pet could be alone for 4-8 hours a day with me. I will care for the pet's health concerns (including medication), make sure they have ample time outside (weather dependent) for potty time and exercise, and will care for their physical health if requested (ie brush coat or give bath). I will ask about how they interact with other dogs, people, animals so I can protect your pet and keep them safe.

“Brian took great care of our pup! Brian is reliable, respectful, and a good communicator. He sent us regular picture updates on our dog, which reassured us while we were away. He loves dogs, clearly. We will definitely use his services in the future!”

About: TLDR; I treat every pet like the main character. I lost my furbaby to kidney disease in July 2025 and it was absolutely life-shattering. I was so connected to her that she meant the world to me. While I'm not ready for another dog to fulfill my life, I'm ready to open my heart and home to care for your pet. I currently have 2 senior cats in my home. I’ve cared for family members’ dogs and cats over the years, from energetic puppies to calm senior pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, enrichment activities, and giving an abundance of affection. Your furbaby gets my full attention and a warm, peaceful home environment. I’m patient, safety-focused, and great at picking up on a pet’s personality—whether they want playtime, snuggles, or a little space. I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. If you think we'd be a good fit, let's chat! I have an open and flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to give pets attention, regular outdoor time, and consistent routines throughout the day. In my home, I focus on creating a calm, comfortable, and safe space. I stick closely to your furbaby's usual routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel at ease during their stay. I keep a tidy environment with a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I make sure they always have fresh water, cozy spots to relax, and plenty of attention.
