Pet Sitting in Elgin

“Katelyn has been a great with the boys. Communication has been excellent especially with making sure the boys are properly taken care of while I’m away. I highly recommend her if you’re wanting someone you can trust with your fur family.”

“Madeline was reliable, on time, and wonderful with our dogs. We have a new puppy who is very hesitant and she worked well with him. Madeline communicated with us before, during and after the visit. She took adorable pictures of our dogs. We already booked another visit with her.”

“Abi is a life saver. I had a previous sitter for Mellie that wasn’t up to par. So I had to scramble to find someone to let my puppy out and play with her. Abi did just that! I do have cameras and she was fine with that. So I was able to watch all the playing and running around. And then afterwards Mellie slept soundly in her cage. She took care of her like Mellie was her own puppy. And I was super impressed with the attention to details that I had said and that she followed. Definitely will rebook her in the future.”

“Jamie was exceptional! We started with a meet and greet the week before with my new rescue dog Hera, and she was great with her knowing that she was very afraid of strangers. Hera had some stomach irritation 2 days before the booking and our vacation, and the first day Jamie came she let us know that Hera had gotten worse and was throwing up/had loose stool and should be taken to a vet. She was amazing with her communication and letting us know everything that was going on. We got a friend to take her to the vet and get medication and Jamie continued her visits and administered the medication and hand fed Hera. She was so sweet with her and was very understanding of the situation and even had to do some extra clean up of Hera that was not planned for. We would definitely recommend Jamie and would use her again with no question.”

“Gabrielle is wonderful! She is thoughtful and caring. I would absolutely recommend her. I’m so grateful to Gabrielle for taking such good care of our dog.”

“Nadine is a joy, and took great care of my little one. I felt very comfortable having my cat in her care while I was away for a week. I especially enjoyed the daily recaps and photos! Thank you Nadine!”

“Carson has been so much help while I've recuperated from a broken ankle. They've been great with our two big dogs, who have enjoyed many walks when there would have been none. The dogs love them and become extremely excited and come home tired and happy.”

“Katelynn is awesome! She was at my house on time, sent soooo many pictures, and my dog loves her! Will keep booking her for more stuff ☺️”

“Jessica and Luis are ah-mazing!! I reached it to them on short notice and they were still willing to meet with me and car for my 2 cats while I visited some friends for the weekend. It was my first time using a pet sitter so I was a little nervous but they made me feel at ease leaving Smokey and Pippa for a few days. They sent pictures and texted updates after each visit. Highly recommend them and will not hesitate to book with them again!”

About: Growing up we always had dogs. When I got older I've owned dogs, cats, and fish. I've fostered dogs and cats for about 12 years until I become a foster failure to my Maryanne. She is a hound mix. In my fostering I have taken care of puppies, senior dogs and dogs with special needs. I will work with your dog and use the commands/ techniques that you use to instill consistency. I currently have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I have a dog as well so I would be in and out during the day. So I can take care of my Maryanne. I am able to stay at your house from evening to morning to care for your babies. I will treat your home and four legged members of your family with respect! Shower then with lots of play and cuddles. Also plenty of walks!

“Erika has been fantastic. She is kind and caring and took great care of our babies. We sadly lost our boy Franklin, the day after this visit. Erika was so thoughtful and comforting, and willing to help in any way, even a shoulder to cry on. She is a blessing.”

“Jennifer was great, our dog loved her. She was very punctual and flexible when we requested specific times to make our dog more comfortable. She did a great job on communicating with us the entire time. We will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her.”

About: I have taken care of my relatives' and friends' dogs throughout the years as well as my sister's. I am a first time dog owner, currently raising a pitty/lab mix myself while living with my fiancé and his dog. I am a special education teacher working at a private school in Wheaton. I get home by 4:30pm on the weekdays, and I am typically available all day on the weekends! I am currently raising my own puppy. She is crate trained and we live with my fiancé and dog who is three years old and crate trained as well

“It is a pleasure to have Brianna as our pet sitter. She takes the time to acknowledge your pet's needs while keeping them busy and entertained while they are under her care. Having Bri watching your pet while you are away from home is a peace of mind.”

“We have used Marilyn 2 times! We don’t worry about our fur babies. She is great with both our big dogs!”

About: Have owned mostly rescues. As a full time nurse I do not take the responsibility of taking care of your loved one lightly. Have taken care of cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes for different friends before through out the years I work full time, but am available on weekends and Mondays for your weekend getaways! Afternoon walks are also possible most weekdays. After five pm is probable I like to follow all directions and rules a pet owner may have. Medical histories and a summary of the pets personality are a must. I like to follow the pets routine as much as possible.

About: My husband and I have cared for our family pets since we were kids. From shih-tzu to golden retrievers to labradors. We know all dogs have very different needs. Although we currently do not have any pets, we’re grateful for all that our fur babies have taught us over the years. They’ve taught us patience, love and kindness. We’ve also learned how to train dogs. Occasionally we’ve looked after our family dogs so we understand the great sense of responsibility. At the same time it brings a great sense of joy to spend time with them. My husband and I love the outdoors. So frequent walks, hikes, or just sitting outside in the backyard is very enjoyable for us. We understand how important these fur babies are to you and how they are not just pets but more so family. Their proper care is really important to us. We look forward to meeting them! Our schedule is very convenient. My husband and I work Monday through Friday but he works from home so frequent potty breaks is not an issue. I work 5 min away and I come home during lunch so your dog would have a lot of attention during the week ☺️ On the weekends and weekday evenings they would have our full attention to play with them or take them on walks. Drop off times would have to be from anytime between 7:00 am- 8:30 am or in the evening from 5:30 pm- 10:00 pm. Weekends could be any time between 7:00 am-10:00 pm. We’re very flexible though so if you need another specific time we can work something out. We do not have a fenced backyard so please bring a leash. Please also bring your pet’s crate in case we need to step out shortly. However your pets will be free to roam anywhere around the house when we’re home. Please bring any treats, toys, food, medication, or blankets for your pets. As well as a bed for them. You do not need to bring their food bowls we have extras.

About: I love animals. I used to have three Shar Peis, which can be fairly temperamental, but I think I was their favorite walker. I've walked dogs with Wag for years and have cared for dogs ranging from tiny pups to large Anatolian Shepherds. I work from home most days, so having a dog or two in the house is not an issue. And, i don't mind sitting at other folks' homes, if the dogs are more comfortable in their own environment. I've recently fenced our backyard with a 6 foot privacy fence, so that visiting dogs will be secure during off-leash play. I live in a quiet neighborhood and there is a large park down the street, so walks can be quite lengthy, if the dog is up for it.

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.

“Valerie is wonderful! She takes great care of Punkin who is sweet but can be pretty needy. I appreciate that she was able to be here when we had a family emergency. She always sends me lots of photos too. I highly recommend her. And will definitely use her again!”
