“Maddie continues to be my go-to pet sitter whenever I go out of town. She sends me so many pictures and notes of her visits that I feel like I never left. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a caring, reliable pet sitter!”
“Abi is great, and my dog loves her. She lets her out the full 30 min and plays with her. As she’s still a puppy, I’ve been trying to leave her out more, and Abi has been good about checking the house and yard.”
About: Growing up we always had dogs. When I got older I've owned dogs, cats, and fish. I've fostered dogs and cats for about 12 years until I become a foster failure to my Maryanne. She is a hound mix. In my fostering I have taken care of puppies, senior dogs and dogs with special needs. I will work with your dog and use the commands/ techniques that you use to instill consistency. I currently have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I have a dog as well so I would be in and out during the day. So I can take care of my Maryanne. I am able to stay at your house from evening to morning to care for your babies. I will treat your home and four legged members of your family with respect! Shower then with lots of play and cuddles. Also plenty of walks!
“Jaimie was wonderful taking care of our cat and the house while we were out of town. She contacted us daily to let us know that everything was ok. She was thorough in asking questions to help care for our cat. She’s very reliable and we had a good piece of mind that things were taken care of. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I'm a dog lover dedicated to providing top-notch care and fun-filled adventures for furry friends. I'm experienced with all kinds of dogs and cats. I am ready to feed them and give them lots of love and care. I've been working at a dog daycare, so I have hands-on experience caring for pups in a group setting, as well as one on one. I'm excited to meet new furry friends. I'm available every morning and evening for walks and visits. I'm available all day on weekends. I would love to hang out with furry friends. I keep everything clean. I always replace water bowls with fresh water and feed any pets. I love to take dogs on walks or cuddle and play with them. I treat all pets as my own.
“Cheyenne is the sweetest! She was so punctual and made sure to follow all my instructions I left behind. Thank you for watching loki so last minute and on a holiday! We appreciate you for giving him all the love and cuddles!”
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs, cats, a bunny, and guinea pigs—animals have always been family to me. I truly love and care for them. As an incoming freshman, I balance academics with pet care, offering weekend, early morning, and afternoon availability to give your pets loving, and consistent attention. I provide reliable, safe care for pets in my home and clients’ homes, ensuring their needs are met with attention and responsibility at all times!
About: I have lived with and interacted with dogs for most of my life. It started with my family dog when I was 6 years old and currently own a 5 year old dog. I personally trained my dog from when he was 8 weeks old during the pandemic even attending various training classes. Pet care fits into my weekly routine because I have some flexibility during weekdays between 8am - 3pm to come care for your dog or take them on walks. I have my own 5 year old dog I care for daily and want to bring the same level of care for your pet(s). I want to accommodate whatever you or your pet requires to get the tailored attention they need. I know first hand how much our pets mean to us and take caring for yours very seriously.
About: My love and patience for all kinds of animals is what makes myself the go-to sitter for my community! Not only have I been sitting for 2 years, I’ve also grown and developed around many kinds of animals and would now like to expand my pet sitting journey! These past couple of years has brought me many new developments such as bunny care and assisting with 2 litters of newborn puppies. I love meeting new people and their pets! Thank you for considering me! Currently working at Home Depot, My typical week is Monday-Saturday 6am-2pm. I do not have a set schedule and may have a day off between Mon-Sat, but I work around my work schedule to accommodate your pets. I prefer to have instruction written out so I can use it as a reference. I am open to get-to-know-you visit to build comfortability and trust! My goal is to hide by yours and your pets routine as closely as possible! Communication is important to me in order to keep not only our furry friends but also myself safe!
About: Available for daytime and overnight care, as well as dog walking or visits when you're away. Cat care included for home visits. I'm a fur-mom of 2 very friendly, socialized Siberian Huskies. I grew up with dogs, and have experience with small & large breed dogs. I'm very compassionate with animals and their needs, plus love petting and cuddling. Knowing your fur-baby will miss you, my goal is to give them a caring and safe environment where they can play and socialize until your return. My older children love animals as well, and help me with my two, they will help me play and ensure your fur-baby feels at home. What's most important to me: a) dogs are treated as PART of the family b) they have caregivers who understand and meet their needs (socializing, getting a break from other dogs, exercise, etc) I would like to understand any needs or requests for your pup to ensure he/she is as comfortable as possible, especially if your pup has a little bit of separation anxiety. I cater to those pups, and we are HUGE Cesar Milan fans! So being sensitive to these pups is very important. My home has a large secured fenced in yard for pups to run free in, along with a great neighborhood for walks. I live minutes away from Switzer Woods dog park in West Dundee, which we are frequents at. I have an SUV to transport pups if you'd like to add a trip to the dog park to your stay. In addition to the secure large back yard, I have 2 tie ups in our front yard my two love sitting and enjoying the weather and watch everyone walk by :) (chain link and extremely secure) Since the backyard is privacy fence they enjoy seeing everyone and a chance of scenery. The interior of my home is dog-friendly as well. Any areas in my home off limits to dogs will have doors closed or gates to block. I do have a cat, so for example dogs in my home are not allowed upstairs (the cat's safe zone) so that has a gate so no dogs on stairs. Laundry room, office where electric cords, basement doors will be shut. Also I like dogs to be in sight while in the home, so any areas I can't see them I tend to shut doors. L Open floor plan, so every other room (about 4 rooms of space) is fair game! Free to roam, play, and on nice days go in and out to the back yard as they please. My dogs don't go on all furniture, but they do have their own ottoman and furniture that is all theirs :) I have dog beds around the main level for their sleeping pleasures. Your pup will be part of the family while in our care. Looking forward to building a friendship with your pup, so they come back to play with us again!
“We had a last minute long day trip and Jessica was happy to help us out on short notice. She was great at communicating with us and we appreciated her spending time with our senior dog! Baylee loved her!”
About: I fostered for two years multiple puppies. I taught them tricks and learned how to bathe dogs properly. I’m very patient and love taking multiple walks with my dog everyday! I have a very flexible schedule that I can accommodate to your needs! I am available for boarding on the weekend. And pet sitting on holidays. I have a friendly dog to keep your dog company. In the area that I live we have several dog friendly walking paths. I have a huge backyard as well.
“Arly did a fantastic job. She was always prompt, communication was great and most importantly she took great care of our dog. We will definitely book her again in the future!”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional care our cat received from Mary! From the moment we met her, we felt confident leaving our beloved pet in such capable and loving hands. Mary went above and beyond to ensure our cat felt comfortable and happy while we were away. She did his litter every day and also took care of our Birds and Fish, put out the garbage bins on weekly garbage days and watered our flowering plants. Daily updates, including adorable photos and detailed messages, reassured us that our furry friend was in great spirits. The attention to detail and genuine affection shown was truly heartwarming. Our cat, who can be quite shy, quickly warmed up to Mary and seemed genuinely content. One of the birds, which was sick for some time, passed away while we were gone and Mary laid him to rest under the blueberry shrub and shared the pictures. Thank you, Mary, for your outstanding service, for treating our cat like your own and looking after our other pets. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and dedicated cat sitter. We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was a kid! I was always helping my family feed and walk out family dogs. I also just loved dogs so much that I would help take care of family friends dogs when they would go on vacation. Going into adulthood I knew I wanted to work with animals so that's what I'm trying to do. I just want to care of all the fur babies and have their owner know that even though they are going on vacation they know that their animal will still get the care and love they deserve while they are gone! Also if your dog needs any medication I am comfortable doing that for you! I do have a part time job but I want to fill my other time taking care of your animals! I will always make time to check on your fur babies! As of right now my services will be in home care, I will go to your house and either walk your dog, check up on them, make sure they have food and water and even play with them if you want! I will obviously be very respectful of your home, I will only go into the areas you will want me to go in and make sure I leave everything how you left it!

Some pets include dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, guinee pigs, turtles, snakes and geckos. I teach full time from 7:30am to 3:00pm I am available to love on your four (mostly) legged babies in the afternoons, evenings, my days off, holidays and weekends. If there was a need to care for pets in my home I would have a separate space for your fur babies to rest comfortably.
“Katy is wonderful. She showed up when promised, gave detailed notes, and sent great pictures of my boys. They are senior Beagles and both require meds which Katy gave them. This was my first time away from the boys since I adopted them. I feel very comfortable with Katy caring for the boys.”

“My husband and I, on multiple occasions, have trusted Kristina with the care of our two beagle boys while we have been away on trips. She has been kind, caring, and a diligent caretaker and we will use her in the future as well. The love she has for animals goes above and beyond as I know she fostered animals for years (even a few that only had a short time to live OR were bringing life into this word) Highly recommend!”

Jordan M.
“Jordan would be an excellent pet sitter. Jordan has always loved animals and has had many pets over the years. Right now she has a dog (Soft Haired Wheaton Terrier, cat and Holland Lop Rabbit. She takes excellent care of her pets and enjoys spending time with them. She has always been very responsible and even at a young age took good care of the animals in our home. Many friends and family already ask her to watch their pets when they travel. Her aunt has a Great Dane and a Golden Retriever that Jordan frequently stays at their house to pet sit while they are away. Pets are naturally drawn to Jordan because of her calm demeanor. I know that all of the pets she takes care of would love her. She enjoyed shadowing doctors at the Dundee Animal hospital during the last semester of high school. Jordan will be a freshman at North Central College in Naperville starting in August. She is enrolled in the pre-vet program and is a very good student. Jordan gets excellent grades. Pet sitting will be a great way for her to earn extra spending money for school and it would be a job that she would be passionate about.”

Leslie P.
“Having Leslie take care of my fur baby was the best decision I made. We left on a 10 day long vacation and Leslie was the best pet caregiver. I felt at ease on my vacation knowing Chewbacca was in the best hands. She provided updates throughout his stay which helped put my mind at ease. Chewy tends to stop eating when we leave on vacation but his weight did not drop from his stay w Leslie. Without a doubt hire Leslie for your pet needs. She’s a loving, caring and takes great care of dogs. She’s become my go to dog sitter!”

Brooklyn B.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Brooklyn as a responsible, experienced, and deeply caring pet caregiver. With over five years of hands-on experience working with a wide range of animals, she brings both professionalism and genuine compassion to every pet she cares for. In addition to her work with clients, Brooklyn has years of personal experience raising and caring for her own pets, which gives her an intuitive understanding of their needs and personalities. She is dependable, attentive, and truly treats every animal as if they were her own. Anyone would be lucky to have Brooklyn looking after their beloved pets!”
Melissa P.
“Melissa has owned pets her entire life- she tells me stories of rescuing stray cats as a young child and finding them good homes. I bring this up because she continued this into her adult life and has owned, personally, a vast majority of pets including a lot of cats and dogs. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about training and general care taking of an animal. Apart from having plenty of space in her heart to love any dog or cat, she always helps friends and family with their pets as well when they need dog sitting or help in any way. She’s incredibly reliable and professional, and fully understands what it means to take on the responsibility of taking care of another persons pets.”
