Pet Sitting in Elmhurst

“With Joanne, our cats weren’t just “looked after,” but were cared for and played with. I got great pictures every day and my anxiety of being away from them was eased greatly! Thank you, Joanne!”

“Kendra was incredible with our puppy! We just moved here and needed help with him during a particularly busy week. She was so patient with him and gave him some much needed company. We’ll definitely be asking her for help again in the future :)”

“Alannah was a terrific cat sitter - attentive, communicative, and caring to our pets! I appreciated her accommodating a somewhat last minute request and I came home to some happy cats :)”

“Jennifer was absolutely amazing with our senior pup. I'm a worrier and she made me feel so comfortable, asking all the good questions, and provided pics during her pop in. Highly recommend.”

About: I have grown up around dogs since I was young. I know how to act around them and how they each have their own unique personalities! I will give your dog the treatment they deserve. Doing all the duties you may be too busy to do, and adding a sprinkle of love to it.🫶🏻 I am currently a college student at Marywood, so I will be doing this in my free time or whenever I can!! Also doing some work study as well. If I pet-sat I would ensure that I gave the animal the attention they needed while also giving them space as well. I am very good with reading dogs and cats body language. I’d also make sure they were fed of course and walked every hour or as needed!! If I were to petsit a cat then cleaning out the litter box. :)

“Brydee was great. She communicated with us quickly and took the time to bond with our cat who had just moved into a new house.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life from small to big, Terriars, Rottweilers, German Shepard, etc. I currently have a yellow lab named Rory. I have experience with all age dogs from puppies and elderly dog. I currently work full time 8-4:30 on weekday so I would be willing to come early morning, late afternoons, or nights. I am free anytime on weekends. I have an overly friendly Labrador at home who is very well trained. He goes on a walk at least once a day if not more but absolutely loves his big side yard where he gets to sunbathe! He has his spot on the couch where he naps most of the day away.

About: As a dog lover, I know how important it is to make sure your fur baby is well taken care of. I am more than happy to spend time playing with and walking dogs, or if theyre more docile, I'll sit with them and make sure they have the love they need daily. I love all dogs and will not turn down based on breed. I'll make sure the dogs are fed properly (adhering to scheduled eating times), have plenty of fresh water, and get nice long walks in! I'll gladly take them to a dog park so we can play! I also dont mind walking dogs in winter. I currently work full time Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. I am able to check on any pet before work, between 5:00-7:00 am and after work from 5:00pm on. On the weekends I am available any time! I will follow any rules set up by the pet parents. I can easily crate dogs, and I can administer medicines to them with ease.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, from playful puppies to senior companions who need a little extra love. I’m currently training my black Lab to be a therapy dog, and I also care for my cat, who’s taught me the art of feline patience! With years of hands-on experience, I provide thoughtful, reliable care for pets of all ages and personalities. I work part-time from home, so my schedule is fairly flexible, and I always prioritize open communication to ensure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve. I believe pets are family. With my experience in caring for animals, you can trust that I’ll follow any instructions you provide and treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own.

“Lauren did an amazing job taking care of my “baby “ cat 😻, Arya. Lauren is by far the best pet sitter I’ve ever worked with. She was punctual, detailed oriented, and kept a daily thorough journal about her visit. She updated me daily how Arya was doing, took pictures every day; which greatly reassured me that she was in excellent hands. Lauren truly loved animals and took care of Arya as if it was her own. She spent daily over 30-40 minutes per visit, playing with my cat and provided for her needs. I would 💯 % recommend Lauren for your “fur baby” and would be thrilled to use her again. Thank you Lauren for your excellent care.”

About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own that I care for daily. I also care for my friends pets often and am excited to meet your pets and provide them the best care that they deserve. I am available all day on weekends and in the evenings every day. Some week days I am available more often. I am also available for overnights stays. I have a fenced in yard so would be able to have your pets in my home with no concern of them running off or anything like that. If I am caring for your pets in your home I will treat your home like my own, providing the best care.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I will treat your dog or cat as part of my family. They will be trained through playing which is fun because then you will learn how they are and their behaviors. I am currently not working so this will give me an opportunity to take care of your pet the right way and get better aquainted of how they are. I will be able to take your pet for walks without interfernce of any kind. If any emergency happens I will let you know and quickly take them to the vet or a vet provided by you. For me to take care of your pet correctly I would like to know what protocols I have to follow so that I can make your pet comfortable and happy and that you know your pet is safe and sound with me, whether it be in my home or your home which ever one makes you comfortable.

About: Having pets since I was 7, I have long understood the importance of animal care. Since I was in high school, friends, family, and neighbors have asked for my help in pet sitting and house sitting. Over the years I have taken care of horses, goats, sheep, rodents, reptiles, insects, fish, birds, and of course dogs and cats. Needless to say, I am not afraid of any animal and believe all living creatures deserve the top quality care. I have two years of experience majoring in Wildlife Care, and have taken many courses in animal husbandry. This, along with my Dog and Cat first aid certification through the Red Cross, has made me fantastic at caring for the medical aspect of animal care. I can administer medication and handle emergencies with a clear head and a focus on the animal's well being. In the past, I have taken care of my own elderly/disabled dogs as well as those of my friends and family. This includes dogs in hospice care that have needed to be carried. While I have less experience with puppies than I do elderly dogs, I have raised and trained my own current dog from 1 y.o.. I am not afraid of the mess or energy level of puppies and puppy teeth don't bother me! I am a barista and am returning to school in the fall. With odd hours for a regular job, I know I can lend my services to someone who needs it! I take care of animals in the way the owner sees best, whether that's yard time, or walks, or both! I have no problem crating a dog, cleaning up after an animal, and giving medications or food.

“Stephanie was fantastic! We were so lucky to have her watch our two loving, crazy labs. She sent us pictures every drop in and reassured us they were happy and safe. I definitely would request her again in the future and highly recommend her!”

About: I have an older female dog who needs help with daily activities and I will go on runs with your dogs to get them exercised and play with them for hours! Never miss a good brushing either Sitting for pets for perfectly with my schedule by I can go up to houses in the morning to visit and do their needs before going into work in the morning and go back at 12 to visit them again do my school work and come right back later after my second job to hang out once again! I tend to watch my animals 24/7 if I let them outside, make sure they are safe and there is no danger around. I personally pick up stuff that could harm or endanger them

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I was the little kid that visited the neighbors just to see their dogs. I have dog sat on many occasions. I am very detail oriented and love abiding by schedules. I do not mind the size of the dog either. The more dogs you have the better. I will gladly meet the dog(s) beforehand to see if they are comfortable with me. Other pets are also welcome too! The most animals I have watched at one time was three dogs and one cat. I am not opposed to light cleaning for the animals when necessary. Any routines you have for feeding or walking will always be followed. If you have any questions please ask me. I look forward to meeting your pets!

About: I have always been, and will always be an animal person. I have 2 dogs of my own currently: Lincoln (11 year old chihuahua), Ripley (3 year old Pit Mix); I also have a bunny named Bonsai (9 years old)! I have spent many years dedicated to the happiness and well-being of dogs of all ages ranging from 5 pounds to 150 pounds. I’ve socialized dogs for many years and can pick up on their cues of how they’re feeling, whether it be happy, anxious, or fearful. I’m well versed in medication administration as well, whether it be orally or topically given. I’ve prepped food that ranged from standard kibble to entirely raw. I’m also no stranger to cleaning up if a dog has an accident. I know how it is to worry when you’re away from your furry companions and that is why I uphold myself to high standards to make sure all animals are safe and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working full-time and am diligent about making sure my schedule is up to date as I like to stay organized and plan ahead. I work from 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and occasional weekend days/holidays. I have a fenced in yard. I have crates available in house if your dog is crate trained, whether it be for eating, sleeping, or general comfort/decompression. I have extra leads to make sure each dog is being walked safely. If your dog is on a retractable leash, I will make the call to use either a standard leash or British lead. It ensures the safety of both your companion and my own when on walks.

About: I have grown up with lots of dogs from small to large! I own a dog myself and two bunnies! Most of my experience is with dogs but I’m a fan of all animals! Willing to care for any needs you require. I am a stay at home Mom that works part time evenings at wal-mart! I have available weekends and daytime hours! I can make evenings available if needed! I have a car of my own to get to your pet whenever needed! I do not do any in house care. I am willing to do all of your needs at your home! Walks, feedings, cuddles, playing, etc!

About: I've been surrounded by animals all my life living in the country. I spent my childhood riding horses and had a home full of Great Danes, pugs, and cats. I have currently for the past five years taken care of many dogs / cats surrounding Nay Aug Park, Scranton area, Clark Summit, and Lake Ariel. I own an Arabian horse, five ducks and two cats near Moscow PA on ten acres in the countryside. I promise to love your animals just like my own and so look forward to giving them a lovely time while you are away. I work for myself from home in documentary film so I have a very flexible morning and daytime schedule that I'm sure will be able to fit your needs. I make sure to take care of each pet as their owner wishes knowing that each pet and home is different. I always stick to a client's schedule knowing that animals are very routine based.

About: I have experience in taking care of all types of animals, like equines, exotics, and even the little kangaroo that’s in my profile picture. I love animals, and I have been caring about them ever since I was little. That is why I am in college to become a veterinarian :) I’m currently in school, but the free time when I’m not volunteering at the veterinary clinic or working at my job, I am always caring for my animals. I would love to keep an animal in their environment as to not further stress them out. I can stay overnight, or drop in, depending on what is needed of me.
