House Sitting in Elgin

“Shylina was so sweet with our June who is a little anxious- she was calm with Shylina right from the first meet and greet! The house was just as we left it. We got lots of photos of a happy June, too! Thank you so much Shylina. We will be calling on you again!”

“Awesome home and dog sitter for our Springer Spaniels. Responsible, thoughtful, careful & dependable! Have booked Joanna 3 times this year and are very happy with her care. Appreciated her check ins and pictures while we were gone. Thank you Joanna!”

Bonnie M.

“We had a great experience with Bryttin! She was incredibly responsive and kept us updated while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was respectful of our home and left everything super clean and organized—even better than we left it! Most importantly, she was so kind and patient with Griffin and Nickles, treating them like her own. It’s clear she really cares about animals. We’d absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring sitter.”

Laura M.

“Kelle took great care of our dog Luca for the weekend! She was patient and let Luca warm up to her on his own terms and kept us updated with messages and pictures. We would definitely have her watch Luca again!”

Emily & Nate H.

“Rebooked with Matt for a longer stay! He is so good with our pups and cats, and sends photos and videos often to keep us updated. We missed our fur babies but knew they were safe and happy in Matt’s capable hands!”

“Mara was a great communicator and took great care of our pup while we were gone. She left our house neater than when she got here, even vacuumed and washed the sheets. Above and beyond!”

Samantha P.

“Excellent care of older, picky dog with anxiety while house sitting for us. We came home to very happy dog showing off her new friend.”

Betty F.

“So glad we found Brittney! We have 2 rescues, one of which is super shy, timid, and wary of strangers. She warmed up to Brittney almost immediately! She kept us updated the whole time we were away with awesome photos of the dogs and how happy they were. When our flight home was unexpectedly delayed a day, she graciously offered to stay the extra day to look after our pups. We will definitely be using her again and will refer her to others needing dog sitting services. Thank you Brittney!!”

“Alison was a very attentive and communicative sitter when watching my dog George. He was sick at the time and she very appropriately reached out as needed with questions. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again!”

Eva A.

“I was very happy with Hound. He communicates promptly and bonded quickly with Pepper. He arrived on time and left the house neat and clean.”

Paul R.

“Olivia did a wonderful job with our pets (two cats and one 50-lb dog)! She did a home stay and was communicative, capable, and our pets loved her. She kindly sent us photos of everyone too. All our pets seemed really happy to play with and snuggle up to her. Would highly recommend Olivia as your petsitter when you go out of town!”

Sophie G.

“Kelly did an AMAZING job watching our two girls, Liv and Sophia, while we were away on vacation for 5 days!! We couldn't be happier with her in-home dog watching services. She sent pictures every single day and let us know they were doing well. She was also very respectful of our home and kept things very neat and clean. I could tell by the photos that our girls were very happy to have her here with them - and it makes us feel much more at-ease, knowing they are in their own home while we're away. I would highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter!!! She's amazing at what she does. Very happy and hope to have her back for our next vacation. THANK YOU, KELLY. : )”

“Scott was friendly, easy to work with and very flexible. He went above and beyond for our dog because he said he didn't want to leave our dog alone - that's great. He also waited late past the discussed time as well just for the dog. He provided updates as needed and was quick to communicate. He accommodates our requests with our dog and was eager to do more even. Id easily have him help with our dog again.”

Thejas H.

“James was great. He followed all our instructions, walked and played with Chloe, gave her the meds she needed, and he even brushed her!”

Mark F.

“Taylor was amazing, went above and beyond. Our garage key pad wasn’t working due to the recent storm. She went and purchased a new battery for it! Sent plenty of pictures, could tell our dog was well loved and happy. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had pets since I was 7 years old. I’ve had many dogs in my life and now I have 2 boy cats. I love animals and love taking care of them. I do work full time, so I’m available after work around 3 or 4 pm. And open on weekends. My weeks change from time to time. I will keep your pets safe and follow any instructions you have. Just leave me a detailed list for me to follow to make sure we are on the same page.

“Katelyn was super helpful taking on a last minute request to watch our dog and two cats. She was very responsive with communication and reliable handling multiple feedings and walks a day. We are grateful to have her close by and definitely plan to book again!”

About: I have cared for many dogs over the years. I love taking our Mokes to meet other dogs and exercise areas to meet new pups! I am also comfortable administering medications, and have been a nurse for many years. I love taking our dog everywhere I go and your dog would be treated, just like my own! Throwing a ball and long walks are what every dog loves, so let me help you with your busy schedule! I’m currently working full time during the day, most weekdays. I am available evenings, on the weekends and most all holidays! I can be very flexible with last minute needs. I have one very friendly chocolate lab, that loves to have new playmates! I can also easily crate your pup, if that’s what you prefer. We love to take walks to the nearby park and play fetch. I also like to watch animals in their own environment if that is where they are most comfortable!

“Kayla was so great with my little Bella! She sent me pics and updates and Bella looked well taken care of and happy! Will definitely be booking her again!”

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for animals, including my own dog of 4+ years and pet sitting for family with large breeds like Boxers and Pitbulls. I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always focus on calm, attentive care. I’ve also owned small pets like guinea pigs and mice, so I understand the importance of being gentle and detail-oriented. No matter the animal, I treat each one with patience, respect, and genuine care—just like they’re my own. I live with and help care for cats—feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter, giving treats, and playing with them daily. We also regularly visit a friend with dogs and cats, so being around and caring for animals is part of my everyday life. I’m comfortable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with all kinds of pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent, their environment clean, and their energy positive. I’ll make sure they’re fed and have fresh water, give them any needed walks or playtime, and provide comfort and attention so they feel safe while you’re away. I’m experienced with both small and large breeds, strong dogs, and more fragile pets, so I adapt my care to fit each animal’s needs and personality. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family—calm, dependable, and always with genuine care.
