Dog Sitting in Des Plaines

“Nicole is a kind and lovely person. She was able to come early in the morning as requested. She was a thorough communicator and she even cleaned up a couple of messes! She was meeting my cats for the first time and tried hard to connect. I will definitely use her services again.”

About: Hello, my name is Hannah. I am a part time art instructor and online Art Therapy student. I prioritize attentiveness and timeliness in my teaching as well as dog walking and sitting. I love all animals, have dog walked locally on and off since I was in middle school, and have had a dog of my own for 10 years. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I am an active person and look forward to taking your pet on frequent walks, or even runs! I’m currently working part-time and attending online school, so I have a lot of availability for overnight dog sitting, as well as many walks and drop-ins throughout the day. Besides a few mid-day classes and teaching the occasional night class, my schedule allows me to be very flexible. I treat all pets the way I would want my own dog, Sailor, to be treated. Your pets safety and happiness are my top priorities! I aim to create a stress free experience for you, and a fun experience for your pet.

“Aine was responsible and took wonderful care of our dog Max. We knew he was in great hands and didn’t have to worry. We will definitely hire Aine again! Kathryn G.”

I’ve volunteered my help at local shelters, and in recent years, my family and I have fostered liters of up to eight puppies for weeks at a time. I know how to properly care for and play with your dogs. With a part time job, I have a solid amount of time to help care for your dog.

About: I have taken care of various breeds and 6+ dogs at one time from a young age. I currently have a 13 year old husky-bulldog mix and a 5 year old redbone coonhound! I have experience with chihuahuas to pit bulls to German shepherds to Boston terriers to boxers to labs to golden retrievers! I’m currently working full time, x4 days weekly. However, I am available for early morning care, evening care, and my days off. I’m new to this app. I am more than happy to work with y’all, if y’all will work with me! Unfortunately, I will not be offering in-my home care at this time. However, I do have 2 fur babies and a fenced in yard if this idea ever changes. I would be more than happy to care for your fur baby in your home in whatever capacity and setting you provide.

“Julianna was amazing. He communication was awesome. She took care of Milo and Kitty like they were her own. We highly recommend her and hope she will sit for us again if needed. Thank you so much!”

About: I’ve been caring for my own dogs (and those of friends and family) since I was 10 years old. Over the years, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, loving each one as if they were my own. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, where I’ve walked, fed, played with, and cuddled adoptable pups, giving them the attention and care they deserve. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to spend cuddling, belly rubbing, and ear scratching your babies. I am available Monday-Friday in both the morning and afternoon (please reach out for specific availability). I will follow all care instructions you provide to a "T" and will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and all around cared for. Anything I can do to create a secure environment for your babies is my number one priority.

About: I love dogs! I've grown up around dogs all my life. From working dogs to lap dogs, I've dealt and cared for all types! Family in the north west has hunting dogs, while here in chicago my family and I have dog sat for friends numerous times. I've cared for Chihuahuas, collies, labs, mini schnauzers, labridoodles, mini pinchers, and a fair number of mixed breeds. I've had years of experience caring and loving dogs/pets. I've personally had dogs, cats, fish, ferrets, snakes, and rats! I am a huge animal lover. I'm available all day to care for your fur babies and take any necessary means to make sure you get the quality care you and your dog deserve. I'm do any special requirements needed, too!

About: My wife and I have always had dogs. As children, we both grew up with small dogs. Since we've been married, we have always had BIG dogs. Six years ago, we had to put our rottweiler, Murphy, down due to illness. We do not want to rush into getting another dog, but we are ready to dog sit for the right dog. My wife and I are teachers, so we have all summer off to dedicate to your dog. We also have a small fenced in yard and live near a forest preserve where we can go for daily walks. Whether its for a few hours or an extended stay, we are ready to meet you and your dogs' needs. And, we only book one family's dog(s) at a time.

About: I’ve had all sorts of pets growing up, from rabbits to parakeets, and with each different size and personality, I find that spending time with any and all animals is something that keeps my heart full. I’m also someone who loves to do community service, and making your day a little more convenient by taking care and playing with your fur babies is something I’m more than happy to be able to do. I’m working part-time at a different job and have a flexible schedule as a community college student. I’m almost always available in the weekday mornings, and from Wed-Fri, I should be available all day! At my other job I work as a swim instructor for children, so I’m trained to keep a close eye on my students and steer them clear any risks or dangers. Your pet’s safety will always be my priority.

“Jackie took awesome care of my fur baby. Always on time, followed special feeding instructions & sent plenty of pictures of drop by visits. Would definitely rebook when I need to head out of town.”

“Ada was absolutely fantastic! She took care of our five cats for over a week while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She checked in with us every day and sent wonderful updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the pictures and updates that our cats were happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. Ada was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. Taking care of five cats is no small task, and she handled it wonderfully! I highly recommend Ada to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”

About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for dogs and am comfortable with a wide range of breeds, sizes ,and personalities. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship while owners are away. I am dependable, patient and always committed to ensuring that every dog feels safe and happy. I love animals and treat each pet as if they were my own! I am fully available on the weekends, starting Friday evenings. I can also help with walks, feeding, and play time Monday through Fridays, after 5pm. I follow all instructions that are given to me by the pups owner. I provide, feeding, fresh water, walks, exercise, play time, and plenty of attention. I make sure that the home is kept clean and secure. I will also communicate with the owner regularly with updates and photos.

About: I have grown up with many animals, including exotic animals. We have a grooming station in home and love animals of all types and breeds. I haven’t accept exotic animals as well. I have owned horses, mini pigs inside my house, sugar, gliders, chinchillas, hamsters, lizards, cat, dogs, ferrets, I’m probably forgetting a few more. I have an open schedule and care for my pets very well. My dog even gets dental cleanings every year. My favorites get their nails cut and bathed weekly. I have multiple dog beds, a cat tower tons of toys for all different red animals. Have a fenced in backyard, grooming, station, and home. I have extra cages or tanks if need be. I prefer not to kettle animals unless they need to be under the owners agreement.

About: As a dedicated and experienced dog lover, I offer a safe and nurturing environment for your furry baby. Having a Shih Tzu named Lady of my own and a Yorkie who was blind and had diabetes and required insulin shots on a daily basis and sadly passed away. My experience has given me a deep understanding of the patience and specific attention some dogs require. As a stay at home empty nester, your furry baby will receive the utmost attention and companionship it deserves. In my home every furry baby is part of the family. I live in a single family home with a huge fenced in yard. They are free to roam in my house, no restrictions, just fun!

About: I will be as obsessed with your dog as I am with mine! I adopted my 10 year old Terrier when she was 3 months old. I have pet sat for many friends throughout the years. I have grown to learn how to walk even the stubborn dogs (mine doesn't like to walk in rain or snow). I understand the uncertainty an owner may feel to have someone walk their dog because I felt the same way when I first started using Wag. I know that your dog is part of your family and will tream them as I would treat mine.
