Dog Sitting in Elgin

“Kelsey watched our cat for a week while we were out of town. She was always on time, took great photos and took excellent care of “our boy.” An issue came up with our garage door opening on its own, and Kelsey quickly got in touch with us and manually closed the door. And she made sure our house was secure. She made us feel completely secure knowing our house and our cat were being taken care of. We would definitely use Kelsey’s services again.”

About: I've cared for animals from birth to senior care. I hope you'll trust me to care for your pet with the same love and affection that I do my own. I am home and live alone. There are no children here and I am available for constant love, care and affection. I hope you'll trust me to care for your baby as though they're mine, with all consideration that you would hope for. I have a fenced yard on 2.5 acres and I love to work outdoors, gardening, planting saplings, etc. Your pet would be constantly monitored and played with during all hours.

“Joshua was absolutely amazing. Sent lots of pictures and videos! My dogs loved him and had the best time! We will definitely be using him again in the future!”

“Avileni has been watching my pups for a couple weeks now and has been taking great care of them. She uploads pictures on every visit, leaves good detailed notes, and updates me whenever something comes up. I greatly appreciate the help she has been giving us!”

About: Hi! I took some time off, but I have been pet sitting for years. I love getting to meet so many well loved babies!! I’ve have pets as long as I can remember. They’ve always been a very prominent part of my family! From fish to turtles to rabbits, cats, and dogs! I have always been very drawn to animals. Maybe because I have a natural nurturing personality. I’m very flexible and accommodating. I have experience administering meds, puppies, you name it, I e seen it before. I have 4 dogs of my own and two turtles. I am taking a break while I go through a career change and I am so excited to get to help so many families and their fur babies again. Talk to you soon!! I am currently a part time nanny. Im home most of the time. I am hoping to start school in the fall. Right now, I spend most of my time at home with my dog and we go to the park everyday. We start the day with an hour long walk, we meditate and read. My dog always has access to her crate but I only ask her to go in it when introducing dogs. She goes in on her own. I like to give everyone a comfortable place in my home to make it their own while theyre here. I am very flexible so, whatever works for everyone, I will do.

About: I grew up in the country where we were no stranger to dumped animals. I would clean up and care for them until we found them a forever home. I have also worked in a pet boarding facility where I cleaned, fed, and provided enrichment for over 150 dogs a day. I have a very open and flexible schedule that allows me to be there for your pets. I have the time to get to know your pet in order for them to feel safe and comfortable while you’re gone. I am very strict when it comes to following a pets schedule. I know they are too. I plan to keep your home feeling like you never left for your pets.

“Kaleigh is my go to cat sitter! My kitty Mousse loves having her around. She always takes great care of mousse, getting him fresh water, cleaning out his litter box, to even hanging out with him a little bit longer just to give him loves. So happy I can rely on her to always be there for mousse!”

“Maeghan was amazing with out boys and even was able to pick up an extra check in for us on short notice! It was a lot easier to relax on vacation knowing someone dependable was checking on our boys during the day.”

“+++++ Buttons and Roy were extremely well cared for by Stephanie and her helper. We came home to very happy and content furbabies. Stephanie has prompt and excellent communication skills and we never worried once about what was going on at home. We would highly highly recommend Stephanie's services! Thank you...thank you!”

“Jordan went above and beyond to make our cats and parrots comfortable. It was such a relief to know someone was looking in on them and giving them some attention while we were gone!”

“Garrett is a trust worthy sitter. He is very good at following instructions. Garret took the time to meet the dogs ahead of time and they were left in good hands. Recommend and will book again.”

“Jeremy was very patient with our cat (who was being very difficult) and took excellent care of him while we were away. The communication was timely and we had a lot of great updates that put our mind at ease. I would thoroughly recommend Jeremy to anyone!”

About: I've helped take care of animals for family/friends for over 5 years. I have walked, fed, & bathed dogs before. I've taken care of small & medium dogs. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends for regular walks and check-in to feed, play with, and take great care of your doggos & kitties. I make sure my pets always have enough water and food and follow their feeding schedule. I also take them for a long walk to keep them happy. I watch for any changes and how they act and sure they feel safe and comfortable.

“Kat is great in communicating, on time, and even gets along with our skittish cat :)”

About: I grew up with pets of my own. I am comfortable taking care of dogs any age / shape / size. I have a 4.5 year old Airedale terrier of my own who loves making new friends! I am available for boarding most weekends and do my best to keep an updated schedule. Holiday availability listed. Unfortunately no availability during the week because of my work schedule. Open to long term stays/other service requests depending on availability. I keep a very clean dog friendly environment in my apartment. Dogs can enjoy fresh air on the private patio space with grass area. They can also stretch their legs at the full sized dog park just across the parking lot.

About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember and grew up actively helping care for them—feeding, walking, and giving them lots of love and attention. Over the years, I’ve also provided pet-sitting for friends and family, gaining experience with a variety of personalities and routines. I currently have a Dalmatian of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily care, exercise needs, and keeping pets happy and safe. I also foster cats when I’m available, which has given me additional experience with kittens and more sensitive pets. As a pet parent myself, I understand how daunting it can feel to leave your fur baby behind. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind—I’ll provide frequent updates, messages, and plenty of photos throughout the day so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine closely and can accommodate puppies, kittens, and high-energy dogs. I strive to provide a safe, happy, and cozy environment where your pet feels comfortable, loved, and right at home. I work from home, which lets me build my day around plenty of pet time and attention. I care for my dog, Gigi, on a steady routine that includes an 8am morning feeding, a midday potty break and walk for some fresh air and sniff time, and a longer walk after I finish work around 5pm to get her energy out. She also gets one last potty break before bedtime. This routine makes it easy for me to welcome pet sitting into my day, whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or check-ins. I love keeping pets happy, active, and comfortable while making sure they get lots of attention, care, and updates along the way. I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly home environment with plenty of space for comfort and play. I live in a spacious apartment with a large fenced-in patio/yard area that’s perfect for supervised outdoor time, potty breaks, and fresh air. I also have a friendly, social dog who enjoys having company and can keep your pup entertained with supervised play—always with slow, safe introductions to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles so they feel happy, relaxed, and at home. Whether in my home or yours, I aim to create a fun, safe, and stress-free experience with lots of love and regular updates for peace of mind.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up around dogs and have owned four dogs throughout my life, giving me experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. While I wasn’t around many cats growing up because of my dad’s allergies, I quickly fell in love with them and now share my home with two cats of my own. Over the years, I’ve regularly pet sat and walked dogs for friends and family simply because I enjoy spending time with animals. Now, I’m excited to turn that passion into a side gig through Rover. I understand that being away from their family can be stressful for pets, so I always focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I do work a full-time job, about 8 hours a day Monday-Friday. However, my hours are pretty flexible through the week so I can work around a schedule. I always make sure the pets feel comfortable with me and listen to their needs! If they are feeling anxious or scared I make sure to be patient and give them the time they need. If they are super cuddly I make sure to give them all the love I can give and play with them! I can take them on walks or play with them around the house!
