House Sitting in Elgin

About: I have experience with multiple and single pet households, I can bathe and administer medication, I’ve done cats, dogs, mice, reptiles, toads, fish, etc. I can handle almost any pet. I currently am a full time online student and have a cat of my own to take care of. I often do side gigs of pet sitting for family and friends. So pet care is simply just part of my daily life. I usually have a whole day dedicated to building trust with an animal, and depending on the personality of the animal depends on my approach. In the event of a conflict between pets in a home, I have no issue stepping in, the safety of the animals are highly important to me.

“Sandy did a wonderful job of taking care of our Ricky. She cared for him as if he was her own. She kept us in the loop with lots of pics. I would recommend her wholeheartedly.”

Yolanda M.

“Karlie did a fantastic job with Foxy and housesitting. She was calm and patient with our nervous girl. She sent us daily updates and photos. And she was incredibly accommodating when our travel plans changed because of the snow storm after Thanksgiving. She stayed an extra day and even shoveled a path for Foxy on the back patio. It was comforting knowing Foxy was being well cared for while we were away. Thank you, Karlie!”

“Lauriel is very responsible with Archie. She is communicative, prompt, respectful and always available. She respects my home, and genuinely cares for Archie. She sends me pictures and updates and checks in on him on days she is not with him. She is quick to respond and always willing to help me out!”

Samantha H.

“Sydney was great! Very friendly and willing to do all the tiny things our little guys needed! She sent us pictures and kept us updated on how they were doing as this was their first time with a sitter. We would highly recommend her for anyone and hope to use her services again. I'd rate higher if I could.”

Nicole K.

“Kendall really took great care of our 3 pets(1dog & cats). We had gone out for 5days, she stayed at our home and took amazing care of our pets. She even took the garbage out without us mentioning it on the garbage day. I would highly recommend her without any doubt and will definitely contact her for our future petsitting needs.”

Pulkit K.

“Cannot say enough good things about Grace's house-sitting! She was kind and patient with my weird dog, kept me updated, and left my home in great condition. Have already booked her for another stay!!”

Katherine G.

“Jordyn took great care of Polly in our house while we were gone a few days! She sent regular updates and pictures that gave us peace of mind that Polly was in great hands. Will definitely use Jordyn again for future trips!”

Jen G.

“Skyler was wonderful! She was here for our Poppy girl every night and kept as close to her routine as possible. We will definitely be reaching out to Skyler again for future stays!”

Maxine B.

“We were so happy we chose Wendy for dogsitting our 12 year old Poodle. She spent so much time with her day and night. We received several pictures each day. She even got our fussy pill taker to take all her pills each day. We could not tell that anyone had been here all week. Our house was in the same condition as we left it. We highly recommend you give her a try, but please don't need her when we do!”

Leslie O.

“Emma, thank you so much for taking care of my buddy. I would definitely recommend you to others and book you all over again!”

Stephanie V.

“Stephanie was great! I was concerned and hesitant as a first timer to Rover and with Stephanie. She immediately put my mind at ease with immediate text responses, pictures and going above and beyond the basic care for cooper. Typically my dog would not eat the first day we’re gone. He ate more then usual. It was clear that when we came home he was happy and not stressed. Thank you Stephanie!”

Dar H.

“Riley is amazing with our three dogs. Two of them are really easy, but our recently adopted pup is still adjusting to life in our home and new people. Riley took that all in stride. She took great care of our house and dogs. Would definitely book again!”

Lauren R.

“Very reliable and always punctual. Considerate of our routines and home. Gives me a peace of mind knowing my anxious girl has someone to lean on while we are gone. Appreciate that Marylin will communicate with me throughout her stay with my precious pup. She is just what my girl needs…..a calm, confident member of the pack”

Jenelle H.

“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.”

McKenna S.

“Valerie was great on her first visit. She was very attentive to my nervous pup who wasn’t nervous at all with her. My time away was so enjoyable because of her. Will be rebooking over and over. Thank you!”

Vanessa T.

“There are not enough words to describe Gail's ability with dogs or her attention to detail. She provides pictures, observations, and took care of our pup like she was her own. We couldn't be more grateful.”
