Dog Sitting Elm Grove

About: Hi, I'm Catilyn! 👋🐾 I've been caring for pets for several years professionally, and nothing makes me happier than helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know them and provide care that's tailored to their individual needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reassuring companion, I'm happy to provide the care that helps them feel at ease. I have experience caring for puppies, adult pets, senior pets, and multi-pet households, and I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications when needed, and keeping up with feeding schedules and daily routines. Communication is important to me, so you'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages throughout my visits. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving dependable, compassionate care while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members. I look forward to providing a safe, fun, and loving experience for your pets! My availability is part-time in the evenings, usually up to about 4 hours. I have quite a bit of flexibility when it comes to drop-in visits and can often work with different schedules and routines. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents to find times that work well for both them and their pets! I keep my availability up to date and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. Providing reliable, consistent care is important to me, and I always make sure each pet receives the time, attention, and love they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I take the time to follow your care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to playtime, medications, litter box cleaning, or any special requests. I also treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own. I'll keep things clean and tidy, make sure your pet has fresh food and water, and give them plenty of love and attention based on their personality and comfort level. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and independent, I let them set the pace while making sure they feel safe and cared for. You'll receive regular photo and video updates after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, healthy, and in good hands while you're away.

“Kristine was awesome with my cat Winnie. She can get scared with new faces but Kristine was kind and gentle with her. 10/10 would book with her again!”

“Emily is great with Scout! Scout is a bit of a difficult dog due to temperament and physical disability, but Emily handles her well, and Scout loves her!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and understand the love, patience, and attention they need to be happy and healthy. Over the past several years, I’ve also dog sat for friends, neighbors, and family members, caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, giving medication if needed, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, responsible, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to give both you and your furry family member peace of mind with quality, compassionate care. I recently graduated high school and currently work a part-time job, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have years of experience dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, love, and care they deserve while you’re away. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and will always do my best to accommodate your schedule. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure. I provide constant supervision, plenty of playtime, fresh water, walks, and lots of affection. I treat every pet like they’re my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Lily is wonderful! She is so accommodating and truly cares for our pups even though they can be a tad difficult! We truly appreciate her and the care she has when she watches or checks-in on our pups!”

Shiloh F.

“Jen is amazing! We have two shy boy cats and she was able to interact with them when normally they tend to hide when someone unfamiliar visits. We highly recommend her.”

Maryanne G.

“Kaitlyn took the time to get to know our boys and really seemed to make an effort to understand them. Communication was easy and we trusted her with our boys!”

Hannah W.

“Tami was always right on time. All of my animals were comfortable with her. She did a great job with all of them. This was the first time we have left our fur babies with someone they didn't already know. We were nervous but now we are at ease as long as Tami is available.”

About: What sets me apart is my hands on experience as a dog foster, which has given me the ability to care for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m comfortable adjusting to new routines quickly and helping pets feel safe and settled in a new environment. I provide calm, attentive, in home care where pets are treated like family. I focus on keeping their routine consistent, whether that includes feeding schedules, potty breaks, crate time, or extra play and attention. I’ve cared for both high energy dogs who need structure and exercise, as well as more anxious or relaxed dogs who need a calm, comforting space. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, loved, and at home while their owners are away and to keep owners updated so they can feel at ease. My schedule is flexible, I work part time and I’m able to provide consistent care throughout the day. I’m typically home most of the day, so pets get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. I can adjust my daily routine around the pets in my care and make sure their needs are met on a regular schedule. I provide care in a calm, clean, and pet friendly home where safety and comfort are the top priority. Pets are supervised throughout the day and are never left unattended for long periods. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any specific instructions from the owner. I introduce pets slowly into my home to help them feel comfortable and settled. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and all outdoor breaks are always supervised. Inside, pets have a cozy, relaxed environment where they can rest and feel at home. Pets are welcome on furniture if that is allowed by their owner, so they can stay as comfortable as they are in their own home. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, especially during the adjustment period. My goal is to create a safe, low stress, loving environment, and I provide regular updates so owners always know how their pet is doing.

“Rebecca did a great job and will be definitely booking with her again! She was on time and communicative during the time she was watching my cats!”

Zak K.

“On days when schedules are challenging I appreciate having Sierra stop in to give Maisel some time outside during the day. Visits have been flawless and worry free which is greatly appreciated.”

Craig E.

“Emily took great care of my three kitties while I was gone. She was wonderful at communicating and following the instructions I left. The litter area is clean and she watered my plants! I highly recommend her for your pet care. A+++”

Virginia I.

“Rebooked with Keisha for a couple of drop in visits with our dog! She was wonderful as always and we appreciate her so much!”

Riely J.

“Maddalena was a great fit for our cat. She seemed to bond very quickly to the point Maddelena sent us video of their quality time spent together when she visited, rather than basically have our cat ignore her. In the past that has always been the case when we have others stop by to check in. We received photos each time Maddalena visited which made us feel better while we were away. Maddalena was very reliable and open with communication. We will rebook with Maddalena any time we go out of town in the future.”

Kimberly D.

“Ana always takes great care of the pups, and keeps me in the loop with details and photos. They love her too - as they give her all the snuggles, which they don’t give out easily 😅😅”

Savannah H.

“This is our second time with Madeline and we couldn’t be happier. She’s so good with Niya. I’m still flabbergasted that she gets her to go outside and actually use the bathroom. It’s such a relief to know we have someone who is reliable and has so much love for our fur baby.”

Victoria S.

“Laurie was very flexible and accommodating, professional, and friendly. She kept me updated with texts and pictures and took good care of Luna.”

Breana B.

“April did an excellent job taking care of Layla. She was easy to communicate with and very flexible when I needed it. I would absolutely hire her again!”

Allison P.

“This is the first time we have used this type of service and we were very hesitant to try it. But after meeting with Patricia we were convinced it was a good choice. Our dogs took to her right away and eased any concerns we had. The pictures and report cards were great!! Next time we need someone to help out with our furry kids we will be contacting Patricia again.”

About: I grew up in a house of 3 dogs and have been pet sitting for more than 15 years. I am comfortable and familiar caring for pets of all sizes, needs, and personalities. Should you need more personalized care, I am happy to provide overnight stays in your home as well. I like to keep my clients up to date with check ins and photos throughout the day so they know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. Feel free to message me if you have any questions! When booking a sitting request I always want to make sure that I can give your pet my full attention to accommodate their needs. I typically wake up early and am able to be home for the majority of the day, if not full time. I care for each pet as if it were my own. There will be no shortage of love and attention when they are with me.
