House Sitting in Cicero

“Mary took such great care of our fur babies while we were away. She provided frequent updates and pictures. She was easy to communicate with and very kind. And best of all our dogs loved her! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”

Sarah B.

“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!”

“Cathy watched our two dogs in our home for an extended vacation we took to Costa Rica. Our dogs were happy in the pictures she sent and seemed well taken care of on our return. The whole experience was very stress free for us knowing that our pets were in good hands! We will definitely use her again on our next trip.”

“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!”

About: My family and I have been volunteering for a rescue organization called Redemption Rescue since 2022. During this experience, we have helped take care of over 50 cats, kittens, dogs, and puppies! We also have 3 cats and 3 dogs of our own, ranging from 1 year old to 13 years old. On the day to day basis, I help feed the animals, change litter boxes, walk the dogs, and play with/ take care of them! I am grateful to get to work with animals every day, and it is fulfilling to ultimately watch them get adopted by loving families. I hope to transfer this experience over to take care of your pet as well! 🐾 I am currently home from college for the summer, so I am available basically any day that I am needed! My hours are very flexible, and I am completely open to spend the night as well if needed! With my volunteering experience, I have taken care of a variety of animals. I have watched big dogs, small dogs, big cats, and small cats. I have also experienced animals with very chill personalities, as well as those with more outgoing personalities. I have helped dog sit for families before in their homes, and it has always been a great experience! I would love to help out any way I can to help take care of your dog(s)/cat(s)!

About: I've been pet sitting nonstop for over a year now, and these pets have filled my soul! I'm moving back to Indiana around the Indianapolis area and would love to help you out! Pet sitting became a way for me to give back to the pets while missing my sweet kitty for the past couple of years. I've sat for many old cats, given plenty of medications, etc. I prefer small dogs since I've mainly grown up with cats and Scottish Terriers. I'm retired and am a writer, which I can do anywhere. I have all the time in the world for your pet! Besides talking walks in nature, I am with your pet a lot! I am very conscious of where the pets are coming from when it comes to meeting new pets, especially if they are shy or don't like sudden movements. When it comes to rescue pets, you don't know what they've been through. That's where I find having calm energy benefits all involved.

“Kacey was absolutely wonderful while house sitting our two labs. Over the six days she watched them, she kept us updated with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She wore them out playing Chuckit in the front yard and even had the neighbor kids come over to play with her and the dogs. The fact that she currently works at a vet clinic gave us extra reassurance that if anything had happened, our dogs would’ve been in very capable hands. It was clear they were happy, safe, and well cared for. We highly recommend Kacey to anyone in need of a reliable and caring house sitter!”

About: I am a huge dog lover! My 7 year old lab/pit mix Conway is my rock and best friend. I care for all dogs like I care for Conway. I have had a dog all of my life, so I am very comfortable with pet care of all types. I am an experienced dog-walker as well and have cared for friends' and neighbors' pets for many years. Also, I am working on Conway's summer body and we are up to 3 mile walks a day. I am not saying that your dog needs all three miles but I am up for doing the long walks, if needed. I work from home every day. I have essentially wide open availability (minus some scattered meetings that will be scheduled ahead). I can care for your pet on any week day or weekend. Day or night. I am caring and respectful of the owner's wishes. Having a dog of my own, I know how important it is for owners to ensure that they are leaving their fur babies home with somebody that cares and they trust. If an owner has specific directions of care, I will follow those to the T.

“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: I’ve always loved being around animals ever since I completed two 8-day dog sledding expeditions in Michigan. I have experience caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely.

I’m experienced with managing multiple animals, including my cat Yoda and my roommate’s dog Bowdie, so I know how to keep everyone happy, comfortable, and stress-free. I provide care in your pet’s home, keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I handle feeding, litter boxes or walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention, making sure your cat or dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

“I have been a pet owner for 13 years and never had a need to leave an animal with someone outside my family/friend group, so I was a nervous wreck as i went into the process of finding a house/pet sitter for my cat. I had originally planned to meet and talk with several sitters to find the right one, but Meaghan was great right off the bat and I just got a vibe that she was the right fit. She kept me updated along the way, left my home spotless, and even took on extra tasks like plant care. I will definitely book with her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years — my own pups, plus dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. I love every part of it, from daily walks and mealtime routines to giving extra attention to senior dogs who need a little more help. Whether it’s belly rubs, medications, or just keeping them company, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m home for the summer from college and have a super flexible schedule right now. Since I’m not juggling classes or assignments, I have plenty of time to give your pup the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m available and happy to help! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow care instructions closely, keep a watchful eye during walks and playtime, and make sure your dog stays in a secure, stress-free environment. You can trust that your pup will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own.

About: I have 10+ years of pet sitting experience with dogs, cats, and birds, plus two years working at an animal shelter where I bathed, walked, and cared for dogs of all temperaments. I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy pups to shy or senior pets and always tailor my care to each animal’s needs. I offer walks and drop-in visits, and I’m happy to keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. As a pet parent to my cats, Beans and Rufus (and having grown up with my dogs, Wrigley and Gigi), I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets—I treat them like my own! I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for morning and late afternoon walks, check-ins, and playtime. I’m also very open on weekends and happy to work around your pet’s routine! . Your pet’s comfort, safety, and daily routine are my #1 priority. I provide calm, attentive care in their home, following feeding, walking, and play schedules as directed. I’m also comfortable with basic medication administration and always send updates and photos so you stay connected while you’re away.
