About: Hi, My name is Mia. I have about ten years of experience working with animals from animal shelters to vet clinics. I have experience fostering over fifty pets, including bottle babies and pets with special needs. I currently work as a legal assistant. M-F 10:00-5:00. PLEASE ENSURE YOU BOOK WITH ENOUGH TIME FOR A MEET & GREET TO BE SCHEDULED PRIOR TO MY FIRST VISIT. This is for my safety and the safety of your pets. I am always open to negotiation, but please keep in mind this helps pay my bills. I do have my own dog, but if your dog needs to stay overnight in my home, they will be kept separate. I am very responsible and would love to meet you and your fur babies. If you have any questions, please ask me :) Can’t wait to meet you. I work 10-5, but I work from home. Visits before and after are easy when in Elgin or nearby. If I pet sit at home, I will keep separate from my pet. It depends on what is needed, per the pets needs. I am happy to stop by, clean up, let them out and feed during visits.
“I wanted to wait to review after a few visits with Gracie, but she is great with my puppy! She always greets her with excited energy! You can really tell she loves dogs! I most importantly love how great she’s been with my last minute requests! She’s amazingly helpful! Thank you!! Will be requesting Gracie from now on!”

I have open availability through the week. I’m free to care for and entertain your pet through out the day. My dog Zoe would love to have a play date with your dog. I have a fenced in yard and a big neighborhood that will allow your dog to get fresh air and nice walks. My neighborhood dog park is also just right down the street from my house. I have a medium sized crate that is available for your pets use while staying.
“Some of the best doggie sitters out there! Our older little Paco has had a wonderful experience staying with Radha and Bart. Very professional and super attentive! Lovely people who sincerely look after our dog, and send lots of pictures and updates, which we appreciate so much. Highly recommended!!”

About: I have been a dog mama for over 15 years to 2 of the best girls. Both have passed now and while we would love to add another fur baby to our family, we are taking a break while raising our two tiny humans! Our most recent fur baby just passed 2 months ago, and we are looking to love on your sweet babies to bring some of that joy back into our home! We are very familiar with special skin care, medication, special diet needs, and separation anxiety! I'm a stay at home mom, so they will have lots of play and attention, walks around the neighborhood, especially to the local duck pond, as well as plenty of potty breaks in our big backyard! I'm a stay at home mom, so I'm available all day to take your fur babies for walks, let out for potty breaks, and get lots of play and attention! I have two kiddos who love dogs and love to play! I also have a good sized fenced in yard for running and potty breaks! I can provide a kennel if needed! My home is peaceful, and fully outfitted with security!
About: I have taken care of animals of all kind since I was 12. From dogs and cats to farm animals, I have done it all. Pet sitting has always been a passion of mine! All dogs deserve love and care while their favorite people are away. I have a completely open schedule to sit your pet! I am a part-time online class student that enjoys going on walks with my dog on my free time. I live in an apartment with a dog park just a few steps from my door.

About: Hi, I have a 15 year old beagle and he has been with me since he was 8 weeks old. He loves going on walks and sniffs everything. He loves to cuddle and is always by my side when we are on the couch watching a movie or in the kitchen smelling the food. I love other dogs whether they are low energy or high energy so i can give them cuddles, belly rubs, or play time. I work from home full time (in office/on a job site a few times a year) so I can drop in or take care of your pet in my home. I currently work full time (work from home) and have a set schedule and am available in the evenings and weekends for dog walks and drop in visits, or in my home. I have a fenced yard and will frequently walk around the yard to make sure my pet is safe. Inside my house, I make sure there are no house items that can injure or make my pet sick.
“Alyssa! This girl is absolutely amazing! She went over and above to make sure that my sweet 7 month lab was taken care of! I received pictures and updates throughout her entire day together, she took her on multiple walks and provided so much play time. We will definitely be leaving our Margot with Alyssa again!!”

“Baguette has only been with Linda a couple of days but I can already tell how much she loves it there. I’ve never seen her come home so happy and relaxed! Linda gives her so much love, attention, and playtime and I feel 100% at ease knowing she’s in such good hands. It means the world to know my lil baby is safe, cared for, and having fun while I’m at work. We’re so lucky to have found her! 💕🐾”

“My dog has lots of anxiety and Eric is very patient and understanding. I love that he’s not judgmental about her and speaks about her with such positivity. I guess I did not expect my dog to do so well and I’m so so happy she did! She accepted treats from Eric and normally she won’t from other people when she’s really nervous and he showed me a video of her doing so indicating she feels safe and comfortable :) He was great about frequent updates even though he works from home. I’m sure he sensed I was worried. Thank you so much for taking care of my sweet girl and looking forward to our next stay! :)”
