Pet Sitting in Elgin

“Mara was fantastic caring for my kitties while we were gone! She stepped up and provided excellent care for my cat, Ria, while she was recovering from an unexpected medical issue. I look forward to working with Mara again!”

“Rebooked Matt again, he is very kind and considerate! He watered our plants when it was extra hot outside and even brought in a package that was waiting outside our door. Matt always give us a good update on how our cats are doing and gives them treats and love each time! Matt is our go to sitter!”

About: Hello! I’ve had a love for animals since I was young. I have two dogs, 2 year old male Havanese (Blue), and 4 year old female Lab (Belleray). I enjoy spending time with all dogs, and learning things about different breeds. I currently train my own dogs, and have grown so much over the years as a patient dog parent/trainer. I work from home and am able to care for your babies throughout the day. I frequently allow for dogs to go outside for potty breaks and to get zoomies out. I will always respect your needs, and your babies needs. I am able to safely walk your dogs and take them on outings. I am not afraid to get down and dirty to make sure your dog is well taken care of.

“This is our first time using Rover and Kirsten was the best pet sitter for our introduction to the services. She made us feel really comfortable meeting with her and our cat (Mochi), prior to her visit with him. We loved seeing photo updates at each check-in, and so great seeing him out and not hiding, cause he's a shy boy until he feels comfortable. Thank you so much, Kirsten! 💙”

“Brittney was wonderful. I had a week that i needed care for my ladies while their regular daycare lady was away. I’d recommend Brittney, she was prompt and very good with the dogs. Her communication with me was excellent and the photos of the dogs brightened my days. Thank again Brittney!!”

“Megan did everything I asked her to do for my cats when I was away and they seemed to warm up to her which is all I can hope for! Thanks again.”

About: I am a stay at home parent with 2 small children & have a beautiful 11 year old Siberian husky who is our kid’s best friend. She was our baby before we had babies! I am currently in school to become a registered nurse with many of my courses online. My schedule is very flexible to meet the needs of my family as well as the needs of others. I absolutely love all dogs & would probably have 20 if my husband would allow it... haha. I believe in spending quality time with dogs throughout the day as they need interaction just as much as we do. I can not remember a time throughout my life that we haven’t had a dog in our family. When in our home, your dog will be part of our family as well. I offer dog sitting throughout the day with flexible pick up/drop off times as well as over night stays. I only host one client at a time to ensure that your pet/s are a priority & receive the necessary care & attention they deserve. We spend lots of time outside, especially during the summer but only with my supervision. I am a stay at home parent and have a flexible schedule to be able to incorporate lots of time into things I enjoy, such as hosting and taking care of fur babies. I have a large, fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play along with my husky to keep your pup company. I encourage clients to bring their pups food, bowls, favorite toy, and crate (if crate trained).

“Scott did a great job with our cat. Appreciated the updates.”

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!

About: I have always had a passion and love for animals ever since I was little. I have experience caring for many different animals such as dogs, cats, rabbits, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, rats, ferrets, birds, lizards, frogs, and fish. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter and even ran a summer camp there about animal health and safety for children. I have experience in administering medications and topical treatments in different animals. I also have experience in dogs with anxiety. Leaving your pet in someone's care can be nerve racking, but I understand that your pet is family. I have a 15 Ib Havapoo male (neutered) dog that will keep your furry friend company. I work throughout the week but I am home all day Saturday and Sunday to watch your furry friends. I am also available weekday mornings until around noon so I can make accomodations if needed. I have a large fenced in yard for your dog to run around in. Please be aware that the fence is 2.6 ft tall (about waist height). The height isn't a problem for smaller dogs. My dog is allowed on the furniture and sleeps in my bed with me at night.

About: I provide dog/cat sitting in your home. I just spent a week at a lady’s home watching her two dogs. One had an energetic personality and the other had three Legs! I helped him jump on the bed, walk down the stairs, and go for walks. I also pet sat for my friends mom. She has three dogs. All different sizes. I played fetch, made sure I got to her house on time to let them out, and fed on the desired times. I’ve also watched A Doberman, two border collies, one corgi, one Gordon setter, and last but not least an Aussie spaniel mix all in the same house. They were full of energy but very well mannered. I can give diabetic dogs shots as long as they behave. I also have experience with incontinent dogs and wheelchair dogs. I’ve watched horses, cats, goats, small animals including rabbits, geckos, chickens and fish. Please consider me for pet sitting your fury animals. I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you

“We are so grateful for Anita! She cares for our three pups while we are away as of they were her own. Her updates and pictures during her visits reassure us that all is well and makes us smile.”

“Elizabeth did a fantastic job with my pups!! One of my dogs had eye issues and his eyes looked great!!”

About: I want to meet your pet on their level! I've had cats my entire life, and dogs for a total of 20+ years and I know how to adjust myself to best care for them. I have experience with dogs who are reactive, shy, hyper, old and young, sport dogs and snuggly pets too. My own dog and I dabble in agility and rally-o, so I have experience with R+ training and LOTS of patience. I personally currently have a cattle dog mix, 2 kittens and their mum (all rescues who have stolen my heart). I've done drop in checks and walks for friends and coworkers over the years and I don't think I've ever met a dog I didn't love. I adopted my dog as a puppy, and I know the unique challenges they have, as well as how vastly different their personalities and needs can be. I work from home some days. Other days I commute from Elgin to Rochester, so I'm very flexible on where I can be available. I can make most times work for me! Weekends I'm available 24 hours. I'm very happy to walk your dog in your neighborhood, or take them to your fenced yard for some fetch or 'puppy tag'! If your pet just wants some loving and cuddles, I am more than happy to do that too. I can feed, water, scoop litter boxes, give meds, and check minor dressings. I'm happy to even give your pet a quick brushing if that's what makes them happy! I know puppies need extra attention and am able to accommodate that too.
