Dog Sitting in Channahon

About: I have been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. From puppies to elderly dogs, I have seen it all. I have been to countless behavior and training classes with my own dogs so I am prepared for whatever your dog throws at me! I am currently a full-time student with flexible hours! I am available most weekday afternoons as well as all-day Sundays. Saturdays vary on a week-to-week basis. I am a huge fan of in-home care for pets as it allows them to stay in an environment that is familiar to them. Whenever I dogsit, I always make sure to interact and play with them as much as possible to keep them happy and relaxed!

“Very reliable and communicative!”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I always find a way to work around my schedule no matter the situation. I like to make animals a priority at all times if possible. I like to spend time with the pets if their parents are gone for a long period of time. I think it helps with their anxiety and sadness of them being gone.

About: Hi there! My name is Allison and I’m a labor and delivery nurse in the Chicagoland area. Where to begin...I have a Goldendoodle named Delilah and have experience not only caring for my own pup but also pet sitting for families with dogs of many different breeds and ages (Pitbull puppy, senior German Shephard, adult King Charles, etc.). I absolutely love taking pups on walks, playing fetch or just hanging out with them! I am more than happy to adjust to all types of different pups needs whether it be with regard to medication administration or high energy levels - I would be more than happy to accommodate! I would love to share more about my experience or provide references! Can't wait to hear from you!

About: I have experience caring for dogs through personal pet sitting, including regularly watching my grandmother’s 8-year-old pomapoo when she travels. I’m responsible for feeding, walks, potty breaks, companionship, and following her routine to keep her comfortable while she’s away. I also have daily hands-on experience caring for my own one-year-old Shih Tzu, including walks, feeding, and basic care. Additionally, I’ve taken a veterinary science class where I learned about animal behavior, safety, and proper care. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits on weekdays and Saturdays from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and on Sundays after 2:00 PM. I’m happy to be flexible when possible to meet your pet’s needs. I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I always follow your instructions closely, make sure doors and gates are secure, and use safe leash-handling at all times. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities during walks and drop-in visits.

“Amanda is amazing! She asked all the right questions when she met my fur babies and immediately I was out at ease. She is a fantastic communicator and send pics! I really felt like my animals were truly cared for while I was away!”

“Eliana was absolutely amazing with Duke. This was my first time using Rover and Duke had only been home for a few days, so I was honestly a little nervous — but she went above and beyond and made the entire experience stress-free. She was extremely attentive, followed all instructions, and kept me updated with messages, pictures, and videos which I really appreciated. What really stood out was her initiative — when she couldn’t reach me, she made sure Duke was still taken care of without hesitation, even going as far as getting him food. She also got Duke puppy training treats and a toy (a blue whale) that he now loves more than all his other toys — which really shows how much she paid attention to him and cared for him. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. Duke was happy, safe, and well taken care of the entire time. I would 100% book with Eliana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and truly dedicated.”

About: I am available for drop in visits or walks in the Shorewood and Minooka area. I am also available to watch your dog(s) in my home. I have a fully fenced yard, a very friendly Boxer mix, and plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I have been around dogs all my life. I recently had to let my Saint Bernard cross the Rainbow Bridge just shy of his 13th birthday. I volunteer and foster dogs/puppies from a few local rescues. I am very responsible and will treat your dog like I would my own. I love dogs of all sizes and all personalities. I can send you updates and pictures of my visits with your dog so you can see they are well taken care of. I am a teacher so I am off for the summer. I work one mile from home so can come home during my lunch time if your dog needs a potty break. My yard is fully fenced, my dog has free roam of my house and so will yours. I do have crates here in case your dog is used to being crated.

“That's for helping out so I could get married. Thomas did a wonderful job and did everything and more than asked. Would book again.”

About: Between myself and my family, there is almost always someone at the house. Rarely would yours dogs be alone here, and bathroom breaks/play time is given very frequently! We have a fenced in yard, and two very friendly dogs who love to play! We have a doggie pool and tennis ball launcher for extra fun. Dogs are welcome to come on furniture and beds as allowed by their owners! I am currently only working part-time, and my husband works an alternating schedule. We love to walk the dogs around our neighborhood as often as we can If crating is preferred, I do have a large crate so you don’t need to haul yours! Our fence is six foot tall and locks from the inside on both gates.

About: Full-time dog walker & house sitter in Joliet, IL, focused on reliable, structured care. I’m especially comfortable with high-energy dogs that need more than a quick bathroom walk, as well as senior pets who benefit from patience, consistency, and calm handling. My goal is simple: keep your pet’s routine stable and send clear updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I currently have full-time flexibility. I’m available mornings, midday, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I structure my day around your pet’s needs to ensure consistent attention and reliable service. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions carefully and maintain your pet’s normal routine for feeding, exercise, and medications. I prioritize safety, secure leashing, proper entry and exit protocols, and close supervision at all times. Your home is treated with respect, and your pet’s well-being is my first priority.

“Angela took such great care of our 2 cats. She made sure to give them interactive play, cleaned their boxes and even got some brushing in. She was very communicative and asked so many questions to make sure she knew exactly what our cats needs were.”

About: I’ve been around dogs ever since I was a child. I grew up with larger dogs and a small dog as well, and am familiar with all stages of life. Currently, I’m a furmom of 3! have a 1.5 year old Australian shepherd, 9 year old smaller dog, and a 3 year old cat. When taking care of your fur babies I will treat them like my own 🐶🐱 I am a nurse so my schedule varies, I usually have 2-3 days off in a row or sometimes more. Please inquire on my current availability! If coming to my home, unfortunately we do not have a fenced in yard but we have the proper equipment for using a very long rope tied to an anchor for ample room and play time outside. I will always keep a good eye on your pets to maintain their safety.

“Caterina was great! She dropped in our cats for during a long European vacation and the pictures and updates she sent gave us peace of mind that they were being well taken care of.”

“Paige is 100% dedicated to doing everything she can for you dog. She is always on time and has great communication. But Otis was just not comfortable and not used to the situation. And that is not reflection on Paige and her abilities. She did an amazing job. She communicated with me and mom while I out of town. And my mom and Paige tried relentlessly to make Otis feel comfortable when she was at my house to let him out. Otis was just not used to it and that's in now way at fault to Paige. She is an incredible dog sitter in every way you'd want expect. If you need someone reliable and you can put your trust into taking great care of your dog, please consider Paige! Thank you for your help, dedication, communication, and patients. You definitely are a 5 ⭐️ across the board!”

About: I have owned pets my entire life. (Dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish, birds, guinea pigs) My daughter has a Bearded Dragon in which I have become fond of. I am very compassionate and feel a special connection with animals. In previous work situations, I have made great dog friends, along with the family, that remain to this day. I take every opportunity to help an animal in need. Feeding and caring for orphaned chipmunks, rescuing turtles from vehicle demise, helping a mother duck and her ducklings cross a busy road, offering baby raccoons a way out with boards, as to be free from hot dumpsters, etc. Having pets most my life and being on the go, I understand the importance of loving pet care. As an active, recent retiree from special education, I am now available to be more interactive with animals. I do have a 7 lb. Maltese that may occasionally join me for a stroll. Being so small, she can either walk or go in her carrier, depending on the situation. I travel sometimes so this opportunity offers the best of all my worlds, people, pets & places. I care for pets as though a child..Love and patience. I would like to focus my services in my local area as to be more available.

“Thanks, Amanda, for taking such good care of our kitties for the week! The drop-in updates were great and we appreciated seeing pix of the rascals. Excellent problem-solving, too!”

“I think she is great. On time, attentive, and responsible. She did a great job.”

About: I've taken care of dogs my entire life. I'm comfortable with all breeds and sizes, personalities and medical needs. While I have personally owned and cared for dogs as pets for most of my life, I also have 4+ years of professional dog handler and training reinforcement experience, working with herding border collies. I'd be happy to take care of your pet for you as well as provide any needed medicine or care requirements, and reinforce your behavioral training goals during my time caring for your pet! I have a day job, that requires me to work 6 to 10 hours a day on a given day, at various hours. I'm happy to give undivided attention to your pet any hour of the day that I'm not working my day job! Current work schedule Monday: 5:45a to 2p Wednesday: 3:45p to 10:30p Thursday: 3:45p to 10:30p I have a fenceless yard and we use a secured tether to allow our dogs a wide range of room in my yard to go potty and exercise in.

About: I've had pets my entire life, from rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, dogs and so many more. Family, friends, neighbors & those who have found out about me through word of mouth have relied on me to walk, feed, clean-up after & bathe their pets ranging from cats, dogs, fish, rats, goats, horses & even tortoises. I’m currently available for morning walks and afternoon and evening drop-ins during week days. After May 22, my schedule opens up for the summer months. My main priority is to keep your furry friends comfortable and safe. For walks & drop-ins, dogs do not need to be child friendly, though this may enable me to be more flexible with the timing of a service.
