House Sitting in East Dundee

“Erika did a great job sitting for our 2 dogs in our home. The dogs liked her, and she seemed to like them.. She sent pictures regularly. Our house was clean and tidy when we got home. Our greyhound, a picky eater, ate all of her meals. We got a full report from Erika at the end of her stay. It was so nice not to worry about our dogs or our home when we were gone for 6 nights.”

“Ann has watched my pups prior and they were SO happy to see her return!!! I have her booked for our future vacations as well. She is the best, sends lots to pictures, keeps me updated and house is perfect when I returned.”

“Jordyn was amazing! She was great at communicating and sent photos a few times a day. She didn’t mind answering the million questions I had prior to staying with my dog. I would definitely use her again.”

Cyndy S.

“Ashley was an excellent sitter. She communicated frequently and gave us great updates about the cats. It was clear she really cares for animals and our cats were very well cared for.”

“Jennifer was amazing with our old boy! She provided thorough and timely updates, I never had to wonder how Pugsley was doing and if he was behaving. We came home to a tidy home and a very happy dog! We can’t wait to have the opportunity to work with Jennifer again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 9 years and have regularly volunteered with a local dog rescuer to foster dogs before they find their forever home. I have experience with dogs of all ages and look forward to caring for yours! I work from home most days and generally have the ability to move my schedule around if you need care multiple days in a row. I take frequent breaks for walks or play time with the dogs. I’ve got a large fenced in yard with plenty of room for your dog to run and play in. I’ve also got plenty of room in my house if a crate is needed. I’ll take care of your dog as if he or she was my own.

About: I have helped raise three kitties! I have additionally helped to raise a puppy who was a bit reactive and required additional training. While it was tough, it was very rewarding and I appreciate the way it helped me better communicate with my dog. I am currently taking a very long break from corporate work, and would love to spend this year regrouping but doing one of my favorite things: Hanging out with and helping adorable animals! I am extremely flexible with my schedule, and willing to travel. Currently, I care for my pets by providing weekly brushing, daily feeding, daily litter box cleaning/rotation, weekly litter deep cleans, and play time. For dogs, I am comfortable, feeding, walking with a harness, collar, as well as a gentle-leader for our more reactive friends. While doing home visits, I am comfortable and happy to supervise outdoor/backyard time. I love long walks and am comfortable with dogs up to 100 lbs.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and love getting to know all their different personalities. I’ve cared for everything from little lap dogs to big, energetic pups (yes, I’ve even been out-walked by a German Shepherd 😅). Right now, I have a whippet mix I adopted in December, and our daily walks are the highlight of my day. Though I’m convinced he thinks he’s training me instead. Most importantly, I’m all about keeping dogs happy, active, and showered with cuddles!! :) I am currently working a full time job— I work graveyard shifts, so I have all the time in the morning or late afternoon to walk and play with them! I am hoping for a fenced backyard and I do not mind playing with them indoors or outdoors! (or BOTH!)! Which ever is better for the dog.

“Stephanie took loving care of my beloved golden retriever! She was thorough in her preparation, communicative during the stay (including photos and updates), and quick to answer with any questions I had while I was away. I put full trust in Stephanie with my doggo, and she is my go-to for dog sitting!”

“We had the pleasure of booking Miss Jamie as our dog sitter for Labor Day weekend while we were away for our destination wedding, and she was truly outstanding. From the start, she was incredibly sweet and attentive, making sure our dog, Pep, was well cared for. Pep did have a nail accident, but Miss Jamie handled it with great care, keeping us updated regularly. Given Pep's history of being labeled aggressive and anxious, we were concerned, but Miss Jamie worked her magic, and Pep was a sweetheart with her. I’ve come to realize it might be more about me than Pep! 😂 Thank you so much, Miss Jamie. Pep will forever remember you. He finally has a life long friend 🩷 definitely booking again and recommend Miss Jamie.”

“Grace is a pro! From the start, we could tell Grace had her stuff together and was very experienced and professional. She was great with our crazy boxer puppy, and she gave him all the love and care we needed him to get while we were out for the weekend. We are already booking her up for future house sitting needs! Thank you again, Grace!”

“Madison was awesome with both my dogs. I would hire her again anytime.”

“Iryna did an amazing job and took great care of my pet!”

“Jacqueline took good care of my Jojo while I had to be on a work trip. She always communicated with me, sent pictures, and Jojo enjoyed being with her. Jojo is a reactive dog, and Jacqueline handled it well. I definitely recommend Jacqueline for dogwalking, sitting, etc!”

About: I have many years experience with Pets, especially dogs, but cats as well and I have always been able to help them understand how to cooperate. I use positive reinforcement and very clear communication and have been able to help them respond very quickly and understanding what is needed of them. And for me, I respect the unconditional love that they give by returning that, which creates a strong bond. I can express to them and communicate easily using cooperation rather than force. Love is foremost. I am a retired, ultrasound, technician, and I am free almost all days. I have no major commitments to children, grandchildren, etc. to interfere with my pet care routine. I am in good health able to walk even larger dogs with the understanding that they are leash trained. If they are not, I may have to spend some time training them if that is the wish of the owner, and I am well experienced in this training.. I am willing to walk your dog, let him or her out if that is their routine, feed provide water, make sure all their physical mental and emotional needs are met at the time of my visits. I will try to know and understand what they are used to and provide as much of that as possible to relieve the stress of their family being gone.

“Lauren did a wonderful job with my pups!! She was so enthusiastic about them and I could tell that they really felt comfortable with her stay since they hardly noticed me when I came back home! Thanks for your great service Lauren!”

About: My love and patience for all kinds of animals is what makes myself the go-to sitter for my community! Not only have I been sitting for 2 years, I’ve also grown and developed around many kinds of animals and would now like to expand my pet sitting journey! These past couple of years has brought me many new developments such as bunny care and assisting with 2 litters of newborn puppies. I love meeting new people and their pets! Thank you for considering me! Currently working at Home Depot, My typical week is Monday-Saturday 6am-2pm. I do not have a set schedule and may have a day off between Mon-Sat, but I work around my work schedule to accommodate your pets. I prefer to have instruction written out so I can use it as a reference. I am open to get-to-know-you visit to build comfortability and trust! My goal is to hide by yours and your pets routine as closely as possible! Communication is important to me in order to keep not only our furry friends but also myself safe!

“Kristina was wonderful! She kept me informed about how my fur babies were doing and sent some really great photos so I could see they were all well. My one pup has cancer and Kristina had no problem with her meds and special feeding requests. I would highly recommend her, and if needed, request her in the future.”

“Thank you Zyanya for being the best sitter for Lily!! Leaving her for two days was not easy but the way you cared for her, communicating with us throughout the day and following all our requests, made it easier for us to be away with our minds at ease! We can’t wait to book other services with you again!”

About: I believe in creating a biodynamic relationship between the energy of a person and animal and that the effects are beneficial to both parties! Animals can sense energy, and maintaining a calm clear head when dealing with pets is essential. I have dog and house sat large dog breeds for a few years and am interested in sharing my knowledge and affection for animals with wider range. I currently work part time at a vegetable farm on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I have an aspiring massage therapy business and am in the process of building up clientele. These appointments are scattered throughout the week and weekends. I have a lot of time during the week for walks and check ins, as well as overnight stays on weekdays/weekends through the morning. When I have dog sit, it was at the owners home. Care included pet enrichment, physical activity, feeding care, and bathroom care. I took care of the house cleaning and upkeep as well as stayed in the residence as much as possible to give the owners peace of mind.
