House Sitting Colvin Park

“Lisa did an absolutely amazing job watching our fur babies while we were out of town on a trip. She was helpful, communicative, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to very happy babies, and a few special treats she left as well. So thoughtful! She even took trash out and put dishes away. Definitely went above and beyond our expectations. Looking forward to having her house sit again for us and would absolutely recommend. Thanks Lisa!”

About: Disclosure; PLEASE DON’T ALLOW YOUR DOGS TO GREET ME BY LETTING THEM OUT THE DOOR. I’VE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED THIS WAY. Caring for animals isn't just a job for me, it's who I am. I grew up in a house that was basically a zoo, and that passion never stopped. My entire life has been dedicated to stepping up for animals in need, whether chasing down a loose dog to find its owner, taking in strays, or pulling over on the side of the road to help an animal in distress. I bring a unique mix of professional facility experience and deep personal dedication to every pet I care for: • Professional Credentials: Background in professional dog daycare and kennel environments, providing a strong foundation in safety, pack behavior, and facility-level care standards. • Extensive Variety: Years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, fish, hamsters, gerbils, rats, lizards, snakes, iguanas, and more. If it has a heartbeat, I know how to care for it. • Specialized & Senior Care: Fully equipped and experienced in handling complex needs, including oral and injected medication administration, first aid, and senior pet accommodations. • Rescue Heart: Proud caretaker of 5 rescue cats of my own and a dedicated year-round colony manager for outdoor strays, providing insulated shelters, heat mats, and daily fresh food and water rain or shine. I am not just someone who watches pets. I am a bleeding-heart animal lover who treats every single creature like my own. Your pet won't just be supervised, they will be genuinely loved, protected, and safe while you are gone. 🐾 Ask for availability - pet care is my priority and I can work around your schedule. I have one standing weekly appointment on Tuesdays. I can work my best to accommodate. I have 5 cats of my own, all rescues, and I also care for outdoor strays with insulated shelters and heat mats year round. Your pet will be treated with that same level of love and attention in your home.

About: Aside from my two dogs and guinea pigs at home I have worked at a doggy daycare from October 2025-April 2026 due to it being our slow season and there’s not much work for me. I normally helped with the feedings and looking after the dogs, making sure they are behaving and no fights breakout while keeping the area clean as possible and taking them out for potty breaks every hour. I have done many volunteer sessions at the animal house in Huntley I love taking care of the animals while being able to give them some attention! Hi, my name is Halie. I’m 20 years old and animals have always been my biggest passion since I was a little girl doesn’t matter if it’s fur, scales, wet or slimy I can never get enough!!! At home I have 2 dogs Bobo and Church plus 2 super cute guinea pigs named B and Kevin all 4 are me and my familys everything I’m always trying to find new exciting things for them to do and try I also have worked at a doggy daycare, done lots of volunteering with dogs and cats, and I help out with watching my neighbors dogs time to time. Right now I’m looking for a full time job so I’m available 24/7 I’m able to do walks drop ins and stay with your pet if needed!! I would not be comfortable hosting dogs at my house due to the fact I do not have a fence for my backyard and my dogs aren’t the friendliest towards other dogs i would never want my animals or someone else’s to be put in any dangerous situations like that but im willing to follow all care instructions at a clients home to ensure 100% safety happiness and health!!!! :)

About: Hello! I am looking to build a career in housesitting as well as cat and dog sitting too! Staying clean and busy fits right into my routine, so why not let me help out? No need to worry about your baby, I have plenty of experience with all types of breeds. Big or small, I am up for the challenge. I have also personally worked with senior dogs and puppies, along side kittens and older cats. Growing up I was able to educate myself in real time by learning to take care of multiple dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish, occasionally all at the same time. I am super excited to meet some furry friends! And maybe some not so furry friends too!? I currently work about 30 hours a week in fast food. Most days, I am off from anywhere between 10:30am-12pm, but there are a few days I work a little later, until 2pm. However, I am extendable, willing, and able to request off for an extended period of time, if need be. I have three fur babies of my own, two being orange and the other being grey. Sasha, Sunny and Haze have turned out to be some pretty cool roommates. Sunnt and Haze are brothers that I believe are a mix between a white, male ragdoll, and a female tabby who's coat remains unknown. We took Sasha in as a stray, making her a newer addition to our family. As much havoc as they cause, they bring so much love and life to our apartment. They are incredibly spoiled with toys such as fake mice, crinkle balls, springs, foam balls, plastic balls, foam darts, cat scratchers, stuffies filled with catnip, mesh finger traps, supervised feathers, as well as a couple battery powered toys and interactive slow feeders. Kitties eat three small portions of dry food throughout the day and are then offered wet food for supper. We don't host very often and as a result to that, I would say Sunny and Haze meet the introvert requirements upon first impression. Sasha is incredibly vocal and attentive.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who has been around pets my entire life. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I've been dog sitting for ten years. During that time, I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, administering medications when needed, overnight stays, and extended care for a week or longer while families are away. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're gone. Whether your dog needs an energetic walking buddy, a dependable sitter for a quick check-in, or someone to provide attentive care during a longer vacation, you can count on me. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently enrolled in an online graduate program, so I am available at any time you will need care for your pet, any day, night, week, or weekend! Initial Consultation: Before the pet owner leaves, I arrange a meeting to get acquainted with the dog and discuss their routine, dietary needs, medical history, and any specific instructions or concerns the owner might have. Establish Routine: Dogs thrive on routine, so I maintain consistency with feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest periods to ensure they feel secure and settled. Exercise and Play: Regular exercise is vital for a dog's physical and mental well-being. I schedule daily walks, engaging games, and interactive toys to keep them active and entertained. Nutritious Meals: Following the owner's guidelines, I provide balanced and timely meals, ensuring the dog receives proper nutrition. I also monitor their water intake to keep them hydrated. Safe Environment: I dog-proof the indoor and outdoor areas to prevent accidents or injuries. Hazardous items are kept out of reach, and I supervise the dog closely, especially if they're exploring new surroundings.

“Probably the best sitter we ever had on rover. I can’t say enough for what Brynna did- she was amazing with our pups and kept in touch all the time. We went away on a cruise and my husband forgot his birth certificate and Brynna was home with our fur babies and was able to find it while we were in Florida and take a picture for us and send it to me via text. I mean she is the best!!! She kept the house spotless, she followed all directions with meds, loved and snuggled all our pets and did everything amazing. She is worth every penny and more. She is so easy to talk too and she is such a sweetheart! Highly recommend”

“Riley was very thoughtful and kind with my multi-needs 11 year old Doberman, Jax. She was sure to ask or clarify around anything needing additional attention or where she may have been unclear. I will be having her back again!”

“Sarah was great with my two dogs. I received several pictures of the dogs and daily updates from Sarah. My two dogs, can be somewhat of a challenge to walk around my apartment community with how many other dogs and people there are and Sarah did a great job handling them. I would recommend her to watch your dogs and your home!”
