House Sitting in Cicero

“Susan and Holli were very communicative during their house/dog sitting stay. The house is cleaner than when we left, they washed everything they used, and the dog is happy! Will definitely book them again.”

About: I truly love dogs and have been around them my whole life. From training my dog when she was a puppy, to caring for her as she got older. I truly am familiar with all sides of dogs! Right now, I am living away from home, so I am not caring for pets currently. However, at home I would regularly feed our dog, take her for walks, and do whatever other tasks were needed. I always put the dog first. I will never put them in an environment that is dangerous or will induce any stress for them. Additionally, I want them to be as happy as possible and will do whatever is needed for that as well.

About: I have had pets all my life and dealt with all sorts of animals growing up in nature. I currently have three dogs that are older. I trained them as puppies and now work to care for them as seniors. I have 6+ years in the food service industry so I am not afraid of a mess and will do the best I can to care and love your pet while you’re away. I am currently working remotely as a research assistant this summer and part time in food service industry. I can spend nights with your pets to comfort them and stop by to let them out and play multiple times a day. I can do early morning and late night stopbys as well. I have a large yard where my three dogs love to run around and play. As puppies, I crated them so I am perfectly comfortable with which ever method you prefer. I’ve also taken my dogs to dog parks and on long walks/hikes before, on and off leash.

“Joe was amazing with my three energetic girls! So attentive and communicative, and even sent videos of them learning new tricks! Would absolutely hire again!”

“Kristan did great watching our dog at our house for the weekend! Our dog is a little particular and requires lots of walks for her energy and Kristan was great meeting her needs. She gave her all the attention she needs and gave us updates. She also left our house all neat and clean! Definitely recommend her!”

“Lauren was amazing with my dog Napoleon, she arrived early and even left slightly later than what we agreed after my work function was running later than planned. I can def. recommend her and will be using her services again in the future if I need a sitter. Great communication!”

About: I have been around all types of pets my whole life! I have had cats, a dog, and been around all of my friends’ pets! I have also been dog-walking for neighbors dogs for the past 7 years! I am a full-time student in Indy, but I still have plenty of time throughout my week to help out! Over breaks, I work part-time, but I am still pretty available! I treat all homes and pets like my own! Nothing will be disturbed in your home, as I will treat it as my own! As for my home, my dog uses an electric fence, so I usually walk other dogs that hangout there because I do not have spare electric fence collars to use for other dogs!

About: As a lifelong pet owner who has successfully guided my own dogs through formal obedience training, I bring a deep understanding of dog behavior, leash safety, and feline care to every pet I sit. I have owned and loved both large and small breeds, and have a place in my heart for all four-legged friends. I love cats and dogs alike, and will give your furry family members the very best care possible when you can't be there.In addition to dog walking, I offer dedicated drop-in visits specifically tailored for cats. I understand that cats thrive on routine and comfort, so my drop-in services go far beyond just checking food and litter boxes. I make sure to provide quality companionship, interactive playtime, and gentle attention according to your cat's unique personality and comfort level. When you book a drop-in visit or house sitting with me, you can expect a reliable, structured routine tailored to your cat's comfort and safety. Because I work part-time, I am able to offer dedicated, high-attention blocks of time throughout the day to keep your pets happy and stress-free. Daily Routine & Scheduling Here is a general breakdown of when I am available to care for your pets: 🌅 Morning Window (7:30 AM – 9:30 AM): Perfect for breakfast, fresh water, litter scoop, morning medications if needed, and early daytime cuddles. ☀️ Mid-Day Availability: Depending on my flexible part-time schedule, I am frequently available for midday check-ins to provide an extra round of love or a quick playtime session. 🌆 Evening Window (After 5:00 PM): Dinner time! I will refresh food, scoop litter again, and wind down with your pet. 🌙 Before Bedtime: A late-night check-in for peace of mind, a final cuddle, and ensuring everything is secure for the night.Standard Care with Every Visit 🧹 Spotless Maintenance: Clean bowls, fresh water, precise feeding according to your instructions, and a thoroughly scooped litter box. 🧸 Play & Enrichment: Engaging your cat with their favorite toys, lasers, or wands to keep them active. 🥰 Respect for Boundaries: If your cat is a social butterfly, they will get endless affection. If they prefer to hide under the bed, I will gently check on them, talk to them softly, and give them their space. 📸 Detailed Updates: You will receive a detailed Rover card at the end of every visit, packed with photos and a summary of how your pet is doing! Your cat’s safety and the security of your home are my top priorities. As a dedicated cat parent myself, I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your personal space, and I treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect.Door Safety & Escape Prevention Cats can be master escape artists! I am hyper-vigilant about doorways. I always check my surroundings before opening external doors, ensure all windows and screens are securely locked, and verify that your cat is safely accounted for inside before I step out. Home Care & Security 🔒 Securing the Premises: I double-check that all doors are locked, alarms are set, and keys are safely stored exactly where you request them. 🧼 Cleanliness: I maintain a clean environment. If food spills or litter gets tracked outside the box, I sweep and clean it up immediately so you return to a tidy home. Emergency Preparedness Before you leave, we will review your preferred vet information and local emergency contacts. If anything ever seems unusual with your cat’s behavior, appetite, or litter box habits, I will communicate with you instantly. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing I am attentive, cautious, and always reachable.

“Nicole did an excellent job taking care of our dogs. She kept us updated with message, picture's and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. The best feedback we can give is that our dogs absolutely loved her and felt very comfortable with her. We would definitely trust her again!”

“Zoe was fabulous providing care for our two pups while we were out of town for the weekend. She was excellent in keeping in touch, sending pics, and checking in with care questions as needed. I’m so grateful for all her efforts. We will definitely rebook Zoe in the future!”

About: Hello! I’ve been dog sitting for 6 years now. I also trained my dog and assisted with others for 9 years through Tipton Co 4-h. I love to watch dogs play and take them to the park if they’re allowed. They bring joy to my heart. I’m currently unemployed due to a temporary disability. I need at least 4 hours a day to leave the home for appointments and ensuring my grandmother is getting along alright each day. We have no animals so I look forward to each pet that I sit. I do pet care in the clients home. I’m willing to walk your pets each day, and I love to play with all animals. I am able to brush pets if needed as well as brush teeth and syringe feed.

“Evelyn was great with my pets and they enjoyed her. I got lots of cute pictures and updates. She worked great with my schedule that was based on how quickly I was driving through not good weather and we got back almost 12hrs later than intended. I came home to my house cleaner than I left it too which was a great surprise after driving 1800 miles in under 48 hours. She even watched a couple of my clients pets that had last minute bookings!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10. I love dogs and cats both and have 2 Australian Shepards of my own. Would love to help care for your furry family members. I am open Fridays and most weekend days. I am able to stop in to let out or walk your pet after 5:30 during the week as well. I personally have a fenced backyard and have two crate trained dogs so I am familiar with the process and always strive to keep pets safe.

About: I have cared for pets for as long as I can remember. My own, families, neighbors or even teammates. Could’ve been something simple as feeding and walking them or even a bigger task, such as bathing them! School teacher here, so my week is usually held up until the afternoon; soon as that final bell rings, I'm all yours (well your dogs)! But my weekends are typically free! We have the sweetest golden to keep your dog company on our walks! She could even tag along with me during a drop in visits!

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. As a mom to three of my own, I know doggos are a part of the family. I specialize with large dogs and bully breeds, but I've never met a dog I didn't instantly love! I can do walks, playtime, drop ins, house sitting, cuddles, feeding routines, administering basic medications, or simply keeping your dog company while you're away. I would make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll care for your dog(s) as if they were my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages for peace of mind. Caring for my dogs isn't something I squeeze into my schedule, it's already a part of my everyday life. With full availability and my house already centered around my own dogs, I have the time and flexibility to provide attentive care, regular exercise, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I have a full open flexible schedule. As a dog mom myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. They'll get plenty of attention, belly rubs, playtime, and love. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for every step of the way.

“Abigail helped me on short notice in an emergency situation and was able to take over care when another sitter didn’t show. She did an incredible job giving updates, following care instructions, and loving on the cats. She left the home better than she found it and her deep care for animals is evident in both her words and her actions!”
