House Sitting in Elgin

“Laura was an amazing sitter! She was great with communication and keeping us in the loops with fun messages and cute photos. It was so nice knowing our dog was being loved and taken care of so well. She also went above and beyond by cleaning the house and deep cleaning a couple of our chairs. We really appreciated all the effort Laura put in to care for our home and our pup. We will 100% book with her again.”

“This was my first time leaving my baby with someone I hadn’t previously known AND having someone stay in my home and India was incredible. She has such a soft and kind demeanor and was very flexible with meeting up with me. She sent me pictures 2x a day and I could tell my typically anxious and attached baby was calm, taken care of, and happy. I am so thankful to have India as a sitter!”

About: Hey pet parents! I’m Kameron—a lifelong animal enthusiast with a soft spot for every creature, big or small. 🐶🐾 I grew up in a house full of animals, and since then, I’ve cared for everything from dogs, cats and guinea pigs (I’ve had five!) to bunnies and even a leopard gecko! I’m currently an intern and volunteer at an animal shelter where I work with the community to promote adoption, be a voice for the voiceless, and champion responsible pet ownership. I’ve also fostered pets and provided personal pet sitting, and I'm the proud pet parent of a very spoiled guinea pig. Animals aren’t just a passion—they’re my purpose. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and totally at home while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a long walk, couch cuddles, or a little TLC, I’m here for it all! Let’s make tails wag and whiskers twitch—I can’t wait to meet your pet! I have been a pet sitter and caretaker in my personal life on and off for over 5 years- whether that be family, friends or friends of friends. I started this journey pet sitting on the side, but have made the decision to leap into it more full time! I am currently super flexible on my pet sitting, as I am in between jobs & new to the Charlotte area. I would love to provide any care I can within my availability! I live in a large apartment complex with plenty of area to walk. There is a small dog run on the complex property & walking trails/parks just minutes away. I have a two bedroom apartment, allowing your pet ample space! For more specific questions, please contact me directly- I am more than willing to adjust my lifestyle for what your pet needs! In the past, I have kept other pets separate from my guinea pig- as not all pets get along & to maintain personal space for both animals. I have experience with animals that need a crate, as well as ones that do not! I have cared for pets with a long criteria list, and pets that are just go with the flow. Both are welcome! As a pet parent myself, I would want my animal being cared for to my preferences & want to make sure they feel safe and loved while their parents are away. I do have a guinea pig! Rover does not have a section to add in My Pets section (Dogs & Cats were the only choices). But he will be kept separately!

“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care my dogs received while I was away. Eliora went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were happy and comfortable. It was clear that they had a great time and were in loving hands. Not only did she provide excellent attention to my dogs, but she also kept my house clean and tidy, which was an added bonus. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Will definitely book again!”

“Andrew is great! Hank was well taken care of and appreciate the stay on short notice. Highly recommend Andrew on his care for Hank, the house, and his communication.”

“We had the best experience with Taryn! She went above and beyond while watching our pups over the 4th of July weekend. Not only did she send us regular updates and adorable photos (even themed for the holiday!), but she did it without us even having to ask—which gave us so much peace of mind. The power even went out for half the day, and she handled it like a pro—making sure the dogs were safe, comfortable, and cared for the entire time. It’s clear she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. We are so grateful and will absolutely be booking with her again!”

“Jasmine did an amazing job with my babies and found a way for them to open up and be cuddle buddies by the end of the night! Would definetly hire again!”

About: I've taken care of and owned a few dogs and cats of all different breeds from pit bulls to Siamese cats. I've also had multiple reptiles over the years as well as small animals such as rats, hamsters and Guinea pigs so I'm ok with all sorts of animals! I currently am free full time to care for your fur babies, day or night, I'll be there! All my work is from work or me going where I got to go. I clean out the necessary litter boxes, food and water bowls and refill everything up. I clean the areas where all of that is that and then i play with the babies for the remaining time.

About: My Boxer, Bailey, loves having friends over to play. Pet owner my entire life. I try to anticipate pet's needs and keep them busy and happy. Your pet/pets will be a part of our family for a few days. My teenaged son will assist with your pet's care. I have crates in the guest area if your pet needs quiet time. Our dog will remain outside if needed for the care of your pet. I have cared for hamsters and fish as well as dogs and cats. My family is allergic to cats, but I can check in on your cat in your home. I can walk your pet individually after they play with my dog. I can administer medications and have a separate sleeping area for your pets with or without a crate. My family and I are available to be with your pet in our home setting. Your pets will have a separate room with or without a crate during any short errands that I may need to run. My teenaged son will assist with the care of your pet/pets. Your pets will have individual attention during part of the day with walks on my quiet neighborhood circle. Feeding time will be individual as well. They will enjoy play with my dog during supervised play time in my fenced back yard.

About: I have worked at various doggy daycares over the past 5 years, where I monitored and handled up to 150 dogs at once. I bathed dogs, trimmed their nails, fed them, cared for injuries and sicknesses, walked them, played with them, trained them, and medicated them every day, and have firsthand experience breaking up fights. I have over a year’s worth of management experience, which meant making decisions catered to each dogs’ needs everyday. I have a wide range of knowledge on dogs and dog breeds. I have pet sitting experience, which includes cats, and I have also worked at an aquarium and with non releasable birds of prey. I have a wide range of experience, from exotics, birds, reptiles, rodents, and even to marsupials. I spent 4 years studying ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Colorado Boulder, so I have a general biology background as well. I am doing school online, so I have plenty of time to fill with furry, scaly, and feathery friends! I am used to early mornings and the time that goes into animal care. I have a fenced yard at home for my two dogs to run around and play in. I love enrichment, training, cuddling, foraging tasks, smelling games, fetch, etc. for all dogs and animals. All animals deserve an enriching environment full of a lot of variety, play, and healthy challenges. They deserve adventures, love, and genuine, heartfelt connection and care with other animals and with their humans. I will let those principles reflect in my work for your furry friend!

“Jennifer did a great job of taking care of my two dogs! She’s in communication with you and send pictures and updates. I would definitely hire her again.!!”

About: We are a family of 4 (counting our dog Pepper). I work from home so your dog won’t be alone. I grew up always having a pet to take care of; cats, hamsters and many dogs of different breeds. We have a 14 yr old mini schnauzer that is a little sassy but always friendly with dogs, cats and humans. Dogs are part of our family, they will be allowed in couch to snuggle with us while watching tv and we’ll also spend time outside. We have a fenced yard and we live across a park, I will take your dog for a walk at least twice a day. Your dog will feel loved and safe in our home while you are gone. Please let me know if you have any questions. We are very flexible with our time. I work from home so Pepper and I will have an extra friend to keep us company during the day. We go outside several times during the day. I have a fenced backyard and doggie door. Pepper sleeps in our room in her own bed, sometimes she likes to take naps in our recliner. Your puppy is welcome to do the same.

About: I have been surrounded by pets since childhood, dogs, cats, rabbits, and pet birds. I am friendly and ready for such adventures. I think the best thing in the world is animals I work part time, so would be happy to take your pet to me on certain days. I don't have a pet at the moment, but I really want to get an Italian greyhound, which I have been dreaming about for about 5 years, I think the finances from this case will go towards getting a dog I have a private large house, not fenced, but have a special enclosure for the dog that gives shade, also have air conditioning in the house, will be comfortable. No other animals live with me
