Dog Sitting in Elgin

“Lauriel was wonderful! My pets were very well taken care of and I don’t even know how much they missed us. They enjoyed her so much! That is how I want to be! She was professional, prompt, and always sent pictures of my dog and cat! We will definitely use her again. She was wonderful.”

“Erika is amazing. Our dog takes some time to trust strangers and she has been very patient with him. Her experience and background are what drew us to her and it is proving that we made the right decision. We will be hiring Erika again on a regular basis.”

“Rachael is an excellent pet sitter! She was always very punctual and thorough with her pet care (2 cats and a dog). She was careful to follow my written instructions to keep their schedules as close to normal as possible. Her daily logs about her visits were detailed and fun to read! And lots of cute pictures! She is very sweet and kind and I would not hesitate to ask for her help again!”

Linda W.

“I appreciate Katelynn's flexibility with agreeing to take on my request last minute. She always sent plenty of check in pictures, and it was obvious that all three of the pets were being kept happy in our family's absence. Would book her again.”

Faarina K.

“Scott’s been great with our two dogs. One dog is pretty skittish around strangers and Scott was patient, giving our dog room and time to warm up. I would definitely recommend Scott.”

Erika H.

“Asher was wonderful. He sent pictures and updates everyday of both cats, and our cats instantly loved him. Thank you!”

About: My family and I love dogs. We also love cats, but unfortunately I’m allergic to them. We’ve raised three dogs over the years and currently have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever named Jax. I pretty much work from home and have a 4 year old Golden Retreiver named Jax so our routine is already made for a dog. I have a fenced in back yard. Your dog will have a playmate in Jax. I enjoy going out and playing fetch with Jax although he's not much of a fetch guy. He enjoys me faking like I'm going to chase him and then he gets the zoomies and runs around the yard like a crazy boy.

“Zach did a fantastic job! I booked him to clean out for very dirty litter boxes and replace them with fresh letter. I was very impressed with his ability to get right to the work at hand, get the job done, and leave everything looking great. He was so fast, he had time to tackle one of two of the cats water fountains, which were also overdue for cleaning and refilling. My kitties will love that their favorite fountain is working again. Next time, he’ll tackle the other fountain and I have no doubt that that will be done efficiently as well. Thank you, Zach! Nice to meet you, and you’ll be number one on my call”

About: i’ve taken care of dogs since i was little so i know a bit about how to take care of them like walk feed and play with them i know they’re so playful currently i don’t have a job so i’m available all week and i love pets so much so i thought this would be fun to do. i have a cat she’s still a baby kinda she’s 5 months old she’s really playful and a chihuahua she’s on the older side she loves to nap and is unbothered by other pets

About: *PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING* When booking for house sitting, I am unable to do overnight stays, as I do have animals at home that I need to care for. I can do extended hours during the day but will need to go home every 6 hours or so to care for my own animals as well I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a teenager. I would babysit my neighbors dogs and friends animals when they would go out of town. I have a cattle dog and can handle working breeds and high energy breeds. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I have two cats of my own. I have a very high maintenance siamese cat that loves attention and a specific diet, and I have a sweet 8 year old tabby. In my own home we make sure all doors and windows are locked, no food gets left out, nothing toxic to the animals is left in their reach. Anything brought into our house is researched to see if animals are allergic to it or if it is hazardous to them.

“great communication!! will definitely reach out again when i need help with my pets!”

About: I'm a cat mom but I absolutely love dogs. I've been taking care of my own animals for fifteen years, and friends/families animals for almost just as long. I love meeting dogs that are a bit more shy and need someone to come down to their level and speak to them softly. I'm a better fit for animals that are babied at home rather than animals that are active. I prefer to take my time during drop ins where I can do short walks, brushing and feeding. I currently work from home. My starting availability is from 11-3 because that's when I have guaranteed transportation, but I'm open for other availability with repeats! I am very respectful of other's property. I'm not there to play house, I'm there to be a favorite auntie to your pet! My goal is to always leave a place the same (if not better) than I found it.

“Karen checked in on & fed my 2 cats beguile we were away for a weekend vacation. In addition to keeping an eye on my cats, I felt safer knowing she was checking in on my house daily while we were gone. I wouldn’t hesitate having her watch over things again. It’s nice to find someone reliable & trustworthy to help out when your away.”

About: For as long I can remember I've looked after dogs with love and care. Whether its a friends, family or even strangers pet I treat all dogs with the care and patience they all deserve. I'm currently studying programming at home so I'm home most if not all of my days and more than happy to be flexible to meet your needs to the best of my ability. When I care for pets in the house they are able to roam with a close ear listening for commotion or anything out of the ordinary. When it comes to potty time, I can walk them or have them go in the yard (whichever is preferred).

“Jackie was so great with our pup Ted. We set up a meet and greet beforehand and he got to feel comfortable with her before we left. She sent lots of pics and videos which made my day!! She even brought him a peanut butter filled treat. Their visits were filled with lots of playtime and a walk. Thank you so much Jackie, we look forward to having you over again soon!!”

“Audrey went above and beyond for my three babies while I was away this weekend. She is so sweet and gentle with my animals and followed all instructions perfectly. Took great pictures and spent extra time with them if she was able to. Super flexible hours and days as well. I’ll hire her any time I need a sitter in the future. Thanks so much, Aubrey!”

“Stella is great! She absolutely loves dogs and you can tell. Our pups love her!”

About: I'm a forever foster parent 🩵 meaning we fostered, tried to get him out to the perfect family, then realized WE were his perfrct family. I'm familiar with dog behavior and triggers as our pup Chance is fear reactive (getting better every day). My setup only allows for house sitting and walks at the moment. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! *HABLO ESPAÑOL* I work from home and have full control of my schedule, so your pup won’t ever go unattended. I need a companion for exercise so walks / runs are a given. 🦮 My home is a little over 900 square feet a with a large living room area. It’s not a typical apartment, tons of windows, natural light, and fresh air. My neighborhood s pet friendly and perfect for walks.
