House Sitting in DeKalb

“Ann is great. Good communication. Good focus on your pups well being. She takes care of the house - taking the mail and vacuuming when needed. Thanks Ann for taking good care of my boys.”

“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!”

“Jen house sat my dog and was the best!! She arrived and left on time and followed all of my detailed instructions which was great for my reactive dog with lots of allergies. Would book again in a heartbeat!!”

“Shane – I would recommend him for any dog walking services you may need. He has been an indispensable asset to our family in caring for Wilbur, and has consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of canine behavior, a strong sense of responsibility, and a genuine love for animals. Shane has been helping our family care for Wilbur for many years, and during this period, I have been consistently impressed by his professionalism, reliability, and dedication to providing the best care possible. He is always prompt and ensures Wilbur receives the exercise, attention, and companionship he needs to thrive. Beyond the basics of walking, Shane goes above and beyond to ensure Wilbur’s well-being by staying at our home while we travel. Shane also communicates effectively, providing updates and feedback after each visit, which has been invaluable in maintaining peace of mind while we are away. Moreover, Shane possesses a warm, friendly demeanor. He has a natural ability to connect with dogs and has formed a strong bond with Wilbur which is evident in their interactions. In summary, I cannot speak highly enough of Shane. He is trustworthy, caring, and responsible, and truly loves what he does!”

“What a wonderful experience we had with Sheila for our two week trip to India. We had always had family take care of our animals, so it was a first for us to use a a live-in service. Sheila was proactive and timely with communications before, during and after our trip. She asked all the right questions- the ones that let you know she is thinking of the important details. She adapted to our animals specific needs, like our chihuahua that likes to sleep close at night. Sheila learned about goat care quickly and sent fun pictures of her time with them. Her photo and text updates were so nice and made me feel so at ease. She wasn’t afraid to ask questions, or bring up a concern that might help make her stay easier for the animals and herself. Sheila is the kind of person who will figure out, what needs to be figured out! We came back to a home that was cleaner than when we left, and our animals felt peaceful and happy. I would highly recommend Shelia!”

“Megan was amazing. She took lots of pictures and gave us updates. She was able to see take care of our dog-reactive dog and was very detail oriented. ??”

“Dogs Are family and Kara understands that. We could not have been more happy with Kara. She took great care of our dog, gave her meds, and made sure the house stayed in order. Kara kept us informed the whole time with pictures and notes. Highly recommended to anyone who wants someone amazing and understanding to watch their dog.”

“Jon house sat our old almost 17 yr old dog!! He was so attentive and caring to our Buddy! I cannot say enough amazing things about Jon. If you are looking for someone to care for your special animal do not hesitate!! Book Jon!! He came over and stayed with our dog to make sure he was always OK. He would stay later just because he was concerned. He would walk him around and even our neighbors told us how caring he was to our dog. Thank you again Jon. If you are thinking, stop and book Jon. You will not be disappointed!! He also has vet tech experience, which really made us more comfortable too.”

“My wife and I really adore Angela. She is extremely professional and caring towards our boys. We don’t look at them as pets, they are family members and this is exactly how Angela treated them. We were able to go away with the peace of mind that our boys and home were looked after and in good hands. Thank you Angela and we look forward to seeing you again. Kate & Derek”

“She's amazing!!!”

“Leaving a pet behind while traveling, going to work, or having an emergency can be a major stressor on pet owners and I know the feeling all too well! I have known Karli since she was a young girl. You can trust her to give your pets special attention, talk to them and interact with them like you would, like they’re the most precious pet on earth! She is very reliable and detail oriented and would gladly listen to your requests on how to feed, walk, pet, and hold your beloved animal. Karli has always been a natural animal lover her whole life, from cats and dogs to chickens and goats! She has a special bond with animals that really can’t be put into words. Simply said, she loves them and they love her back! She also enjoys training and has been very successful at it. Karli does a wonderful job caring for animals and is also completely responsible and trustworthy to have in your home! Your pet will love Karli and you will too!”

“She was absolutely fantastic. The dogs loved her.”

About: I have been doing drop-ins for friends and family for years. I have also spent a lot of time at my local shelter as I enjoy the company of animals. I have a senior dog at home so i’ve learned how to administer medications the best of my ability. I am very responsible and timely! I am currently a full time honors student at NIU. I have class a few days a week, but besides that i’m very open. My upcoming semester i’m only busy mondays and wednesdays in the early afternoon. I care for others’ pets in their home as if they are my own. I am very loving as all pets and appreciate them for the love they provide. Animals are extremely important to me, and my work will reflect that. If I were able I would have dozens of furry friends.

About: I am experienced in caring for many types of pets, including dogs, cats, some exotic pets, and most small animals! I have two cats myself and have always loved caring for animals. I’m going to school at NIU for Child Development. Although I am a full-time student, I am available daily before and after classes! I am available for drop in visits, house sitting, and possible boarding depending on the situation. I’m excited to hear from you :) I am available to watch animals in your home, and occasionally in my home. I live in an apartment and therefore can only accept small animals for boarding.
