Dog Sitting Deerfield

About: My daughter and I have been boarding dogs for years and love it, we really focus on one families pet at a time so we give him/her our full love and attention. We will take up to 2 dogs at a time. We love to walk and play with the dogs. We have a large fully enclosed back yard in addition to a park at the end of our block we can walk dogs around a large walking path. We text photos and funny videos of us with your pet. My daughter is off to college this year and this will assist her school fund. We love these dogs as if they were our own. WE love taking care of pets, We love staying active walking and playing with the dogs. We will not take dogs if we do not have time for them. I have an enclosed back yard that is perfect for active dogs to chase birds and have a bit of an area to run free. We do walk the dogs to our local park at the end of our block.

About: I have been around dogs since I was 6 years old and love them! I have experience with miniature Schnauzers to Labrador/ German Shepard. I owned two wheaten Terriers over 20 years. I currently do not have any dogs even though my profile states I have 2. Those are my grand dogs! My nickname is Gogo and friends, family and neighbors all trust me with their dear pet. I am reliable, honest and go the extra mile to assure a dog is living their best life! I will be working until 2:45pm and will be available during the week after that. I am generally available on the weekends all day and available for overnight care. I am an avid exerciser and love to walk dogs, play with them and give them the time and attention they need. The dog is welcome to be in the home free to choose where they are comfortable, or if you prefer them in their own crate at all please provide that. My neighborhood is safe and has wonderful paths very close by the dogs love to walk on and sniff away!

“Caroline always goes above and beyond! Even when they got injured the week of their stay, they managed to fulfill their duties to our pets and send pictures and updates. Thank you, Caroline!”

About: I genuinely care about pets and believe they don’t “deserve us” being the most innocent, trustworthy, loyal and caring creatures. I will use all my caring skills and personal training skills acquired form my experience to deliver the best care and still have fun with the pets if they wish so! I’m currently working part time so I am open to met care from Friday to Sunday most of the time, and even evening or night during the week. I have an intense balcony on the 1st floor of the apartment which gives pets the space they need if they want to be outdoors , a large park 5 minutes away where I could take the dogs for a walk or run. At home it’s more relaxed and open- no fences or specific restrictions. Cushiony and soft couches for the cats as well as quiet space with a large window for them to view the outdoors.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always felt very natural to me. My last dog was with me for 14 years, and I got to experience every stage of her life with her. I went from playing with her as a little kid to taking her on walks and eventually helping care for her as she got older. Having her alongside me for so many years made her feel like a constant part of my life, and I really grew up with her in a way that I’ll always be grateful for. My current dog has been with me for four years and was rescued from a breeding farm. When we first brought her home, she was extremely nervous and wouldn’t even leave our mudroom. It took a lot of patience and consistency for her to become comfortable, but now she sleeps in my bed and follows me everywhere. That experience taught me that every dog has a different personality and comfort level, and sometimes they just need someone willing to give them the time to adjust. Maple (Her name) has taught me so much about her, myself, and how to care for different dogs. Given that she lives at home with my mother while I’m at school, I miss her like I’d miss a sibling or parent and we both always get unbelievably excited to see eachother when I am home for breaks. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and building a relationship with them. Whether they’re energetic, shy, older, or just love attention, I like figuring out what makes each dog comfortable and happy. I think caring for pets gives me just as much joy as I give them, which is why I take it seriously and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I am a current junior at the College of Lake Forest, studying psychology and I’m as well a member of the Men’s Lacrosse team. Given that, my schedule can get fairly busy during the afternoon and early evening most days however I am very good at managing my class schedule and athletics schedule to best make time for what I need, which will be the pet. No matter what home I’m in I will provide the animal with better than proper care. Growing up with pets I’ve gained a true care for every single one of them and I can guarantee that I will provide the best environment, safety, care, and love to any pet whether it’s in my own apartment or the clients home.

“It was so nice to know our Chili Pepper the cat was well taken care of while we were away. Thank you, Andrea! Your check in pictures were really nice and gave us peace of mind. First time using Rover and so happy we did.”

About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats over the years. Enjoy walking and being outside with them!(Dogs) I personally have been a cat mom and dog mom over the years. ;) I am available for overnights, evenings and weekends; with the most flexibility on the weekends. I work outside of the home during the day, so I’m not available for work from home daytime care. I’m able to provide care around my normal work hours 8am-5pm I prefer to keep Dogs in your home or on walks. I have a cat at home and he likes to be the 'only' child, all the time.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, thanks to my dad owning a small veterinary clinic. I’ve worked at a vet clinic for several years during high school, gaining hands-on experience and learning to care for pets of all kinds. Being the youngest in my family, I’ve always been known as the most compassionate when it comes to animals. Whether it’s walking or sitting, your furry friend will be in loving, experienced hands with me! Book now for personalized care that puts your pet first! I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability, allowing me to accommodate different pet care needs, including walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to work with pet owners to maintain their pets' daily routines and ensure they receive attentive, loving care. I’d be happy to do drop-in visits, house/pet sitting, and dog walking. I would ask for a schedule/routine that your pets are used to and so I can ensure your pets to be comfortable as possible!

“Our dog Dottie loves her time with Jamie! Jamie communicates well and takes great care of her.”

About: Growing up, I had a couple dogs. Along with family and friends always having dogs around, I have always taken care of dogs. I love to walk them, bathe them, and play! I would take care of your fur baby like my own! I have a flexible schedule and work independently so I have plenty of flexibility for you and your baby!❤️ What works for your schedule will most likely work for mine. I look forward to spend time with and take care of your baby and I will enjoy every second! You can trust me with your pet like it’s my own! I am an honest human being with a heart full of love and compassion. I would love to take your fur baby to the park to play and have fun, as well as a jog/walk of course, and I wouldn’t mind giving your baby a bath if need be! Perhaps a trip to the pet store to spoil?! Don’t worry cats will love me too! I know just the spot they love scratched and will offer plenty of playtime.

“Absolutely recommend Rebeca! You can tell she really cares about dogs and loves what she does. My dog Snoopy has anxiety & is very shy at first but he felt at ease with her as soon as he met her during the meet and greet. She was so gentle, patient & sweet with him right away. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. I will def be booking with her again!”

About: As a vet tech with the goal of being a Veterinarian I have years of experience, I provide compassionate, knowledgeable care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I have worked with a wide range of animals, from high-energy puppies requiring extra playtime and positive reinforcement to senior pets needing gentle care, medication management, and mobility support. My expertise extends to administering medications, monitoring for subtle changes in behavior or health, and handling pets with anxiety or special needs. My background in veterinary medicine allows me to quickly recognize signs of illness or distress, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every fur baby as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether it’s daily walks, administering medications, or providing extra cuddles, I’m dedicated to keeping your pets happy and healthy while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, allowing me to provide consistent and attentive care. I am free most, if not all, weekends, which gives me plenty of time whether it’s for drop-in visits, extended stays, or overnight care. During the week, I may also have availability depending on my schedule, making it easier to accommodate pet care needs, including last-minute requests. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment where pets feel secure. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s regular routine to minimize stress, ensuring they receive familiar care, whether it’s feeding, walking, or playtime. I’m diligent about securing the home, keeping dangerous items out of reach, and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. If pets stay in my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of enrichment and supervision to keep them safe and happy. I also create a calm, low-stress environment to help pets adjust and feel at ease. Communication is key so I keep pet parents updated with regular check-ins and photos so they can feel confident that their pets are in loving hands.

“Tiffany was able to take on a last minute requests after an emergency medical situation with our previous sitter. Great communication - making sure we are updated on our cat’e welfare and care. I’m glad we gave her a try - and so should you.”

Today, as devoted pet lovers ourselves, we’re committed to offering nothing less than exceptional care for your beloved companion. Your dog’s happiness and comfort are always our top priority. Over the years, we’ve provided pet care through Rover and have also regularly helped out neighbors with their dogs—feeding, walking, playing, and giving lots of love. Capturing cute, candid photos of our furry guests has become one of our favorite parts of the experience, so you can count on sweet updates while you’re away. Our fenced-in backyard gives dogs a safe and open space to play and explore, and we’re experienced in administering medication when needed. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, we tailor our care to their unique needs and personality. Choosing us means choosing a warm, attentive home where your dog will be treated like one of the family. We can’t wait to meet your furry companion and make their stay a tail-wagging success! I am working from home. Pet care is a daily priority for me. From walks to cuddles, I ensure every pet gets love and attention. Feeding, grooming, and playtime are all part of our routine. In both my home and my client's, I prioritize the well-being of pets. Whether it's walks, playtime, or feeding, I ensure they're cared for with love and attention.

About: My cousin goes out of town often, so I would stop by her house to check on her dogs (feeding, playing, taking them out for walks, and changing out the pee pads). I also helped care for my roommate’s dogs/puppy. Additionally, I’ve volunteered for dog walks from a local dog shelter! I love taking dogs on walks and hikes to keep them active! I’m a nurse, so I only work 3 nights a week (7pm-7:30am). I have more than half the week available to walk/play/take care of your pets! This also means I am available in the mornings after a shift, as well. Although my work nights vary weekly, I am more than happy to coordinate our schedules that work best for you :) I live close to a lot of forests, trails, and parks, so your pup will have a wonderful time staying active outdoors! I am very attentive to details and will adhere to specific dietary needs!

“Deidre was great - she was on time and spent the full time with my dogs. They looked great when I got home and she sent good photos of their progress.”

Jaclyn S.

About: I have been pet sitting cats and dogs for over 10 years. As my family as always been animal lovers, taking care of furry friends comes naturally to me. I love getting to help others while spending time with and caring for their pets. I am a substitute teacher and freelance creative, so I have a lot of freedom to build my own schedule - I usually build it weekly. This allows me to create the best possible schedule for my clients and myself. When I enter someone’s home to care for a pet, I have the utmost respect and care for a clients belongings and spaces. On a walk, I focus on making sure the dog is safe & being aware of our surroundings and having a good time enjoying the fresh air.

“Ashley took great care of my cats, followed instructions, and sent pictures each day of their play time. One of my shy cats came out to play with her each day. Would book again!”
