Dog Sitting in Cicero

“Alison and Robert did a wonderful job pet sitting my five kitties. They are definitely pet people- my kitties felt comfortable around them right away. They were incredibly thorough, followed all of our specific instructions, and were able to successfully give my cat her heart failure medication too. I highly recommend Alison and Robert and will definitely use their services again in the future!”

“Dana is fantastic! She dealt with me getting a new dog in the process of her doing late night check ins while I was working 12 hour overnights! She was very vigilant with learning the new dog and watching how he interacted with my current one! Will definitely be booking her again in the future.”

“Quinn is great with my older cat, Suzy! She was very patient and kind regarding the unique needs for my pet and she always spent a little more time than what was required to make sure everything was taken care of and to play with Suzy as well. Will definitely try to book with her whenever I can in the future!”

About: My journey in animal care began in 2017 as a kennel technician, and over the past 8 years, I’ve grown into a skilled veterinary assistant with extensive experience caring for dogs, cats and exotic pets of all breeds and temperaments. When I go home, I hug my 2 cats and 2 dogs after a long days work. I also have owned a hedgehog who is now in heaven, and I had the pleasure of growing with and caring for my childhood dog who is also in heaven with my hedgie. From daily walks and enrichment to assisting in exams and treatments, I’ve had the privilege of supporting our furry friends through every stage of life. I’m trained in administering medications—whether it’s a pill, injection, or special diet—and I always prioritize comfort, safety, and trust. Whether your fur baby is playful, shy, or needs a little extra TLC, I bring patience, experience, and a whole lot of love to every visit. I work weekdays 7a-3p, so I am available M-F after 3-3:30p. Saturdays and Sundays I am usually away. I can answer any questions on availability and openings for walks and drop ins! I fully acknowledge that I am entering into your home and that alone is the biggest reason I go above and beyond on building trust with you and fur babies. Safety is my highest priority — I want everyone to feel safe before I ever step foot into your home. I require a meet and greet to start the process; this is to make sure your pet(s) get familiarized with my presence, then I assess compatibility after 1-2 bookings. If I’m concerned about temperament, we will next steps and gauge whether or not we can move forward with future bookings. There are times when pets display signs of stress or protective/territorial behaviors when a stranger enters their home, especially if it’s for the first time. While I’m comfortable caring for an array of temperaments, the last thing I want is your pet to be stressed and unhappy. I am transparent about this process upfront as I prioritize safety for all parties. Upon meeting you and your pet for the first time, I will ask you (many) questions and write all information provided down and go over everything with you before ending the meet and greet session. This will include questions regarding specialized care, diet, temperament, etc. I will also ask for an emergency contact and veterinarian information in the case there is an emergency while you’re not home. For all of my services I make sure to accurately follow all instructions provided with consistent text and picture updates. I NEVER touch anything in your home besides pet-related items disclosed at our meet and greet unless I have permission. After services are completed, I refill all food/water bowls, put back all pet related items such as food and toys where they belong, tidy up if permitted, and give your pets some extra TLC before leaving!

“He did a fantastic job of taking care of our girls while we were gone. They were fed, watered, played with, and poops cleaned up. We came home to some very happy cats.”

About: I have been around animals my whole life. My range of experience goes from new born puppies and up. I have been dog sitting for my neighbor and some family friends for about 2 years now. I work 2 overnights a week at my job Sunday night and Tuesday night but would still be able to help out at night before going in and in the morning after I get out. I can make any accommodations for any of your animals needs whether that’s needing to only go out on a leash or following specific training plans.

“There’s so many good things I can say about Alex! She is reliable and spectacular with dogs. Working with Alex kept me at ease because I knew my dog was in good hands. Alex kept me informed about how my dog was doing. She also takes amazing photos. I highly recommend Alex.”

About: Growing up I have always had pet including dogs, cats, and birds. I have loved taking care of pet since I was little and now own 2 pets of my own. I have worked in a pet shop helping puppies find great loving homes and I have experience walking and grooming dogs for about 2 years. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs and cats and with puppies due to my past job and my pups now. I am currently working full time, but I do have Wednesday and Sundays off. I am available every Monday, Tuesday. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 5am-12pm. Im available all day on Wednesdays and Sundays I don’t have a fenced in yard but I am able to take your fur babies for walks and take them out of a leash. I also have 2 very friendly fur babies myself that will keep your pup company. I also am able to crate the babies if needed or as a safer option

About: Dogs are my people! Ever since I was a young child, my family has had dogs, so I have experience caring for pups of all ages, from puppies just old enough to be adopted to senior pups who lived beautiful, long lives. I also have experience with dogs of many sizes, from tiny fur-friends weighing less than 10 pounds to extra large dogs weighing in around 120 pounds. As an introvert, I have always connected easily with dogs in a way I couldn’t with people - I think they sense my kindness, gentle spirit, and calm heart. (But don’t worry, I learned to become a great communicator, and will make sure I understand all of your pup’s rules and needs!) Seeing a happy dog wagging its tail, or even smiling with its tongue escaping its mouth, truly brings me genuine happiness. And they say if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life, right? I currently have a flexible schedule, as I am self-employed and mostly work from home, so I can arrange my work tasks around your pup’s schedule! (Regardless, in my household, the schedules have always revolved around the dogs’ needs and wants. 😂) Your pet’s safety is my top priority! First, I always make sure I clearly understand your rules for your pup and any special needs they may have. I have experience administering nutritional supplements as well as medications in pill form or topical form. I understand how important our pets are to us and our families, so I promise to maintain a safe environment and protect them in the event of any unexpected emergency. Communication is key in any successful relationship, and I expect that we will have a communication plan before any services begin so you can stay informed with any details you wish.

“Thanks for the short notice visit!”

About: I run my own small business so I am flexible. I have 2 Russian blue cats at the moment, but I have always had black labs in the past. I love animals of all kinds. I run a small business, so I make my own schedule. I would work around any pet sits that I have scheduled and I’m fairly flexible. I would listen to the needs of each client as each pet comes with their own requirements. I do not live in a place that caters to boarding, so I am only offering pet sitting in the client’s home.

About: I grew up with a dog and 2 cats my entire childhood. I now live with my boyfriend, Nick, our German shepherd, Willow, and cat, Stella. I get home from work by 5:30 or 6 pm on weekdays and I am typically home all weekend. Weekends we love taking our German shepherd to many of the local parks or on hikes. Jamesville beach is our favorite! Our dog is home with her dad during the day, and gets crated for the hour that he leaves for work and I come home. She is usually crated for a few hours on the weekend when we go grocery shopping. Our cat is very self sufficient with her water fountain and auto kibble feeder.

“Nicole was great! She made our pups feel safe and went the extra mile with the girls when they went out and wanted to play! Would recommend for anyone with any sized dogs, even if you have 3 GSD like us!”

“Jess once again took care of my 3 cats with drop-in visits during my 9 day cruise vacation. Every day I received updates via the Rover app along with pictures. She did a great job and I recommend her services!”

About: I have been an animal lover since I was a child. I have dealt with dogs, cats, horses, and more. Your pet will be in the best hands. Whether I am grooming, walking, feeding, or giving cuddle's. Communication with the owner is key for me, I love sharing the experiences I have with your pet by sending over photos or videos! I am currently enrolled in a per-diem job at St. Joseph’s hospital. Therefore, I am available to help you and your pets weekdays or weekends! I am here to help you and your fur baby, my schedule is based on that:) I have always had fenced in yards where I bring my dog and other dogs to play with and enjoy the weather. Sometimes I will even take my dog to parks to enjoy more space! Whether I am playing fetch or lying in the sun, they will be getting their exercise. I am able to crate dogs safely and effectively.

About: I have been around dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was young! I have always been a reliable dog walker and sitter for my friends, family, and neighbors when they need it. I have a golden retriever of my own who is a certified therapy dog, so I have experience with training as well! I have cared for dogs of all ages (puppy to elderly), and I am comfortable with multiple dogs at the same time. I am also physically capable of running with your dog, taking them on long walks, and tiring them out with lots of playtime! I’m currently a full time teacher, which means that I have very open availability on the weekends and over the summer! I am open to requests during the school year as well, but my availability is reduced. I would love to care for your pets whenever you need me to! I love written details about your dogs care needs, play preferences, personality, habits, and schedule. Send me as many details as you’d like; the more the better!
