Dog Sitting Elk Grove Village

About: Ever since I was young, I had friends and family have me take care of there pets because I was never able to have my own. I would take them on walks, feed, and bathe them as if they were my own babies. Last October I got my first pet, my majestic orange feline, Honey Mustard. My friend was not able to keep him anymore so I took him in as my own. A few months later came in my furball of energy, Teddy. Having two pets in my house at once after only having had pets for a week at a time was challenging, but I adjusted very quickly. I am able to give each of them the love and care they deserve and I willing to give that love and care too all pets that need it. I have been at home a lot for the past month because school ended, so everyday I have spent all my hours with Teddy and H&M. Wake up and take Teddy potty, give both of them breakfast. While H&M takes a sun bath I play with Teddy or take him on a long walk so he can catch up with whats going on outside. Give Teddy a nice paw rub after running around in the grass and dirt. Then at four its dinner time and the babies have their own run around time and more play until bedtime. I try my best to match the environment in which the dog or cat is in. My schedule works around the family and their pets so everything the pets are already used to with their schedule, I will do.

“Kaylee did a great job. Very communicative and flexible when there was issues with our garage door opener while we were away. Glad to have her able to check in on our dog while we were away for a trip.”

About: I’ve taken care of up to 4 dogs at a time. I have 6 years of experience. I have taken care of senior dogs, aggressive dogs, and easy dogs. I have always been a dog person and love taking care of them! I will make sure your animals feel loved and safe when you are away. I am currently taking a break from a full time job to take care of my mom who recently had a minor stroke. My schedule is pretty open, and I will be able to work around taking care of her. I have a fenced yard for my dog. He is aggressive and pulls on walks but we are working on it and I am capable of making sure he still gets out for walks, I am in shape so this makes it possible for me to do. As far as in my clients home, I make sure to meet with them first before showing up to dog sit. I find this to be helpful. Of course this isn’t required but I am open to that. My main goal is to make sure the pets are feeling safe and happy when their owners are away. I take safety very seriously. Examples include making sure they don’t get into anything, and that they are secured both on walks and outside in the yard. I have never had a situation with dogs having to go to vet or getting out.

About: I’ve always grown up with animals and had to be very responsible at a young age for crate schedules, feeding times, play times. Etc. My dog back in my hometown was my pride and joy but since I moved I also do miss that bond every now and then w a furry companion. Part time server / bartender and just needed some extra work but also something that I enjoy doing. Who doesn’t love spending time w fur babies?!? I do have a smaller apartment so smaller animals preferred when it comes to boarding within my own home. Very respectful for other people’s homes and will do whatever is necessary to make sure the home and animals are both taken care of.

About: Why do I do what I do? Because there's no feeling like receiving that first tail wag, head bump, or slobbery kiss. My calling is to advocate for the ones who can't do it themselves and to care for them. Having 6 cats and some reptiles of my own and being a Veterinary Technician is what my life consists of and I love it. Being a Veterinary Technician aids me in many ways while pet sitting. Being able to read animals body language and understand their ways of communicating allow me to bond and build trust with my pet friends. I'm comfortable with all breeds, temperaments, special needs, and feline friends(spicy ones too). Building that bond with all my furry friends is what brings joy to my soul. Making sure every pet is happy, healthy, and feels safe are my main priority, always! I have the luxury of creating my own schedule so fortunately I am very flexible. Lately I have been sitting, walking, and doing drop-ins on a more regular basis. I do have a part-time job, but that schedule is made according to my business schedule. Pet care comes first! It's all about your pets safety and comfort thats my main priority. All of my services will be done in your home to make things as stress free as possible for your pets. I am more than happy to do your daily routines as you would and care for every pet as if they are my own.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and have over 9 years of hands-on experience. I currently have a 3-year-old dog who I’ve raised since she was just 2 months old, and before that, I was the primary caretaker for my childhood dog for more than 8 years. I’m comfortable with daily routines, feeding, walks, playtime, crate care, and building trust with pets of all ages. I’ve also provided pet sitting for others, including multi-day stays (up to 5 days in a row), so I understand how important communication, consistency, and reliability are when someone is away. Your pet will always get patient, loving, and attentive care with me — just like my own. I'm currently working remotely so I have a very flexible schedule to do drop-ins and walks. I'm available mornings and afternoons Tuesday through Friday. I'm your go to person when you are in the office. I have a fenced yard and a 2-year-old dog that loves other dogs and people. I'm currently not caring for other dogs in my home.

“Beatriz was open to adding in a last minute drop in for us, showed up early and treated our home and dogs with love and respect. The pups love her!”

“Thank you Leah!”

“Cathy started caring for our black lab, Wendy, last week. She responded so quickly to my messages and was able to do a meet and greet within days of my first message to her! Our dog loves Cathy and it’s been going really well when Cathy comes to let her out at lunchtime. I would definitely recommend Cathy to care for your pet! She has a lab of her own and a lot of experience.”

Alexandra B.

“Ashley has been so great to our cats and we will continue to book with her as long as we are in this area. There is no reason to book anyone else!”

“Brianna took care of my cats while my fiancée and I were out of town. It’s a bit difficult to find sitters that can administer oral medicine to cats, and Brianna was able to meet the task, give love to my 2 cats and make sure their area was well kept. She responds quickly to texts as well. If you need a cat sitter, I would recommend her to any client!”

Henry O.

“Charlotte did a phenomenal job with my kitty, Kira. She was well looked after while I was away for a few days. She had no problem fulfilling my requests for how to feed and care for her. Highly recommend”

About: I've had a dog pretty much at all times since I was 6. My home is affectionately called The Pound, to some, it's called Club Bow Wow. As an adult I had a Jack Russell that crossed the rainbow when she was 17 years old. We had so much fun together, even in her senior years when her lifestyle changed. My current dog Bailey Rose was a rescue that truly found me at a time I thought I was not going to get a dog again. The moment I saw her, I knew she was going to be mine! Since adopting Bailey I have fostered 6 pups and she has been the best foster sister. My home has had up to 6 family dogs at the same time, hence the name The Pound. Whether it be for a visit or for sitting dogs love to be here because the feel the love and energy from me! I've boarded dogs for weeks at a time, although I prefer to board for shorter time. We take daily walks and play in my large yard multiple times a day. Your dog will be in safe loving hands with me and they will definitely have a fun time with Team Maggie and Bailey at The Pound. I work from home Monday thru Friday. My work time is pretty flexible so I can take breaks as needed for walks/check-in/playtime. I am also available on weekends as needed. I have a large fenced in yard. My home has space for your dog to freely roam and I have the space to crate if that is your preference. I have dog beds in my office while I work if your pup likes to be near their human friends.

About: I've taken care of dogs of many different breeds for more than years, including my own. Your pup will feel loved and safe. I will treat them as if they are my own. I'm currently in between projects so I'm pretty open for the month of August. Starting September, I will be available in the early evening and night time. I am not going to offer boarding in my own as I have my own pet who is territorial. Furthermore, my home is not equipped to house more than one animal.

“Giada is great with our 2 dogs, we used her a few times while she’s home from school. Both our dogs love her and I will use her again when she’s home from school! She’s reliable and very kind. Thanks Giada for taking care of our fur babies while we were on vacation durning the Holidays.”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I had a dog back in my home country and took care of him every day until I had to leave the country.

I treat every dog like family and pay close attention to their individual needs, routines, and personality. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to your pet.

I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment and carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and routines. I believe communication is key, so I will keep you updated with messages and pictures. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, secure, and cared for every step of the way.

“Renee was great! Loved that she took the time beforehand to do a meet n greet. She even did an extra meet n greet because we booked so far in advance and it had been awhile. Attentive, kind, and her passion for animals is clear! Thank you 😊”
