House Sitting Elmhurst

“Jonathan took fantastic care of both our dog, Winston, and our house! I would highly recommend him as a pet/house sitter. He took Winston on very long walks, sent daily photos and updates, and kept us informed on Winston's well-being during our absence. We knew Winston was well cared for, and therefore we had no concerns while we were away. Jonathan gave us peace of mind that our "baby" was just fine.”

“Marie was an excellent catsitter and housesitter. She was patient with our precious boy R2-D2 and left the house as she found it. She communicated well and responded to messages quickly. Marie is a great choice to care for your pet!”

“Maya was amazing! She is very kind, responsible, reliable and nurtured and loved on my 5-month-old kitty like she was her own. She was excellent with communication; my kitten went into heat while I was on vacation, and she was a pro at monitoring the situation and giving me any need-to-know updates. She also sent me adorable pictures of my very blissed and relaxed fur baby. It was a wonderful piece of mind knowing that my kitty was in Maya's care while I was away. She left the home immaculately clean as well.”

“Savannah did a great job with my initially-anxious adolescent puppy, who started off barking a lot. Savannah was calm and patient with her, and my puppy warmed up to Savannah.”

Sharon M.

“Cailey was super communicative, followed instructions carefully, and asked thoughtful questions when needed. She provided great updates throughout, and my dog seemed genuinely happy in her care. Overall, she was a wonderful sitter, and I would absolutely book her again.”

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was young. I had a cat of my own for 5 years, watched my neighbor's cat and dog many times when she went away, and now I have my own dog. I've trained my own dog to do many tricks and we have so much fun playing frisbee in the park. I'm also a farmer so I'm passionate about caring for animals and making sure they live a good life. I'm looking to walk dogs in the evenings and on weekends, and can watch dogs/cats over night at the owner's house. I want to make sure your animal is as comfortable as can be while you are away! I'm located near a few parks and also enjoy running so I'm a very active person to care for your dog(s) and/or cat(s). I will do whatever I can to make sure your pet has an enjoyable time while you are gone, and I want to stick to your pet’s normal routine!

“Zoe was amazing! We had a last minute need for 10 days for our golden retriever and she cared for Rosie like her own dog. She’s delightful, trustworthy, and capable. We’re so happy we met her.”

About: Growing up next to a door trainer is no joke. It was definitely my gateway into pet sitting. With years of experience sitting all kinds of animals, I’ve never met a dog that hasn’t loved me. Reactive, old, needy, temperamental, I’ve experienced it all. Reach out if you would like to set some time to meet and let me see how I can make your day a little better. As a part timer in nightlife, I work weekends at night. Luckily that frees up my week to be able to walk or sit for you! My superpower is sticking to the dogs routine, to set them up for success. Picky dog? Not a problem! If I do a longer stay; I will be sure to leave your home in better condition than I found it in.

About: Ive been taking care of my own pets as long as Ive been able, and began pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking for others in high school during 2022. I have experience with cats and dogs of varying ages (puppies/kittens-elderly pets) and needs (illnesses and disabilities), as well as more exotic pets like lizards, birds, rodents, and aquatic animals like fish, turtles, and axolotls. I’ve administered medications for dogs, but do not have experience with needles. I’ve spent up to a week taking care of several animals at a time, as well as short periods like nights and checking in daily. I will do all I can to provide your pet and home with the care they need! I’m currently in college, but primarily online, so my school schedule is flexible with your needs! I am not working outside of pet care so I am not tied down to other responsibilities and provide the time needed to care for your pets. I’ve lived with pets my whole life, so I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll follow their usual schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention. I’m comfortable paying attention to a pet’s behavior and making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and secure. I’ll also treat your home with respect, double-check doors and gates, and follow any specific instructions you leave. I’m happy to send photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pets are being well cared for while you’re away.

“Kaitlyn is super communicative, thinks about how to make the experience the best it possibly can be for your pet, and sends tons of photos and updates to make sure you know your pet is in the best hands possible and is happy and taken care of! It’s obvious Kaitlyn enjoys caring for pets and that this means more to her than just a job!”

“Sophie was once again an amazing sitter for Pumpkin! She is very responsive and sends us pictures and updates throughout the week which we always appreciate. She seems to understand Pumpkin and his personality very well and we always come home to a well taken care of and happy dog!”

Danielle L.

“Lou is absolutely amazing with our pack (3 pups and a cat) and we can tell how much our furbabies love her by how content they are when we get home. This is our second time having Lou sit for us and we will 100% keep using her services. Amazing sitter!!!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, so caring for them feels second nature. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve helped with puppy training, administered medications, and cared for senior dogs with mobility issues. I’m dependable and make it a priority to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I hope you’ll trust me to take great care of your four-legged friend! I work Monday–Friday from 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m., but I’m available before and after work and some days around lunchtime. I’m fully available on weekends and for overnight house stays. When I’m staying at a client’s home or stopping by for walks, I treat pets like they’re my own. I stick to their routines to keep things familiar. I make sure they get plenty of love and exercise, and I always leave their space clean.

“Samantha did a great job watching Shay for us while we went out of town. Shay got her walks and car rides which she loves. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog.”

Melanie W.

“Reese is absolutely fantastic. Both Bertha and Milo absolutely loved her. She stayed with them for the week and took care of all of their needs. I would highly recommend and will be sure to contact her again when I need another sitter.”

“Without a doubt, the best pet (and house) sitting experience we have ever had. Xinwei D. (who goes by Garrett) took extra special care of our aging dog, Bernie, while also leaving our home in better condition than we left it. He followed directions to a T, kept in constant communication and sent pictures and updated every day. He will be out first choice in sitters every time. Honestly, we couldn't have taken better care of Bernie ourselves, and being gone for a week knowing someone competent and compassionate was back at home taking care of everything gave us unmatched peace of mind. If he's available, book him for your next drop-in or house sit. You won't be disappointed. Thank you, Garrett!”

About: Hi! My name is Natasha and I am a lover of all pups big and small. I have a pup of my own who loves new mates, play dates , and time spent hiking. I have a “small dog” kennel, a “big dog” kennel, toys, doggie pillows, and dog treats/food. I am looking forward to working with you and your four-legged friends!! I have a pup of my own names Huckleberry and our typical daily routine is waking up early so he can get his exercise in, then we feed, and then we either get a few hours to hangout before work at noon or it’s an early shift at 9. He has the ability to come inside and outside with leisure and every day I come home mid shift to check in. My yard is fenced and my Mr. Huckleberry is a very dog oriented canine who absolutely loves new pup friends which makes our home a good place for all dogs. In the case of clients homes it definitely suits the comfortability for the pup to be in their own environment, but I don’t have a preference!

“Nicky took excellent care of our two pups. She was attentive, detail-oriented, and incredibly loving, making sure they were comfortable and happy while we were away. She’s an excellent communicator and a true animal lover. I feel completely reassured knowing my dogs are in her care.”

About: Hi! My names Brianna and I’m your pets new best friend! I am a 25 year old vegan that was raised by a mom that worked in an animal sanctuary out on the West Coast. When we moved here to Rhode Island, my mom continued to be a vet tech and brought her love of animals home while we fostered all kinds! My love for animals alongside learning to care for them is not only in my blood, but began at a very young age. I have 12 pets of my own at home! Cats, reptiles, ferrets, spiders, and a fish tank! I’m also experienced in working with older, nervous, and young animals. I’m so excited to get to know your pet(s). Please feel free to inquire about daily/weekly/bi-weekly visits etc. getting to know your animals on a more personal level will make everything smoother for everyone involved and I’d love to be a long term friend. There’s nothing more rewarding than earning an animals trust. From high energy babies to senior care, I’m excited to build a trusting bond with any animal I meet! My visits will include plenty of love, fresh food and water, some treats if granted permission, potty breaks and walks, litter scooping if required, and whatever type of play time or cuddles they prefer (including just being fed and left alone!) I tailor my visits to their specific pace. I am reliable with strict feeding schedules, and administering medications if needed, including shots, oral pills and oral liquids. My top priority is keeping your pet safe, happy, and stress free in their own environment while giving you total peace of mind with regular photo and text updates! * I’m willing to care for any animals! So let me know if you have reptiles, small mammals etc. Looking for house sitting? I’m also a plant girly! I work from home in social media marketing and create my own schedule, so I am available for same day visits and can work from wherever! I’m basically always on call for those last minute drop ins. I also love being outdoors and set aside time to go for walks myself every day, so taking a dog along with me would make what I already do even better. I have experience with ALL types of animals so there is no request that will be new to me. My own home has reptiles, cats, arachnids, and I’ve fostered dogs before! Have something specific your pet wants? I’m all ears! There’s nothing to big, small, or “weird” for me.

About: As a child I grew up with two dogs and a cat. I am a true people person as well as an animal lover! I have taken care of family, friends, and neighbors pets while they are away. I have fostered dogs in the past and currently have two cats at home! I am currently working as a registered nurse so my schedule is very flexible throughout the week and weekends. I work 3 12 hour shifts per week. I'm willing to help out when I can and work around my schedule. I assist with feeding and companionship with both animals in my home and the services I offer. I often do care in the clients home while away on vacation but would also be willing to come over for just a walk or a little play time.
