Dog Sitting in Elmwood Park

“Andrea was excellent with my senior dog Leo. She agreed to a meet and greet to get familiar with Leo. For the drop in, she came early, provided pictures and updates on his food/water intake. She made sure he was taken out to do his business and carried him due to his age. I will definitely be booking her again.”

About: I love dogs and have had 2 of my own. I also used to foster dogs, and at one time had 8 doggies in my home! I recently lost my 12 year old beagle and am looking to offer my love and time to other people's furry companions. I am available for walks and boarding any time! I work from home so I am able to give lots of love, attention, and walks to your fur baby if they stay with me ❤️ I am happy to book for recurring walks up to 4x/week I live in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced in yard. I live in a shared house, with a separate living space. There is a beagle living in the home (he is very friendly!!), but I can keep him completely separated if need be. Your pet's wellbeing is my top priority. 🐾

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals throughout my life. It has always and will always be my passion. Animals are one of the best creations ever made and should be treated as such. I am making this my full time career. When your babies need me I will be there. You just tell me when and where and it will be done I don't not offer this service as I live in an apartment. Hopefully in the near future I will be able to buy a house and offer this service

About: As a lifelong animal lover and dedicated pet caretaker, I provide compassionate, personalized care that respects each pet’s unique personality and needs, whether they’re playful, shy, or in between. I’m experienced in administering medications, maintaining clean spaces, and keeping routines consistent. Your pet will receive attentive care from someone who truly understands and adores them. I work from home full time, which allows me to be flexible and attentive throughout the day. This means your pet will never feel alone or rushed during visits, whether it’s for playtime, feeding, medication, or just quiet companionship. Having a flexible schedule lets me adapt to your pet’s routine and needs, ensuring consistent care and love. I provide loving, attentive care whether your pet is in my home or theirs. I create a safe, comfortable space where they can relax and feel secure, always respecting their unique routines and personalities. In your home, I follow your pet’s schedule closely, with feeding, exercise, medication, and enrichment, to keep things consistent and stress-free. When pets stay with me, I ensure they enjoy a calm, engaging environment with plenty of affection and care. No matter where they are, I treat every animal with the respect, patience, and attention they deserve, and I keep you informed with regular updates and pictures to give you peace of mind.

About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do it’s been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and have been looking after them my whole life, so understanding their needs, personalities, and quirks comes naturally to me. I currently have 3 dogs and 1 cat of my own, each with their own unique story and personality, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Two of my pets came from difficult pasts: one of my dogs was rescued from an abusive home, and my cat was found living on the street. Helping them heal, trust, and feel safe again has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and consistency in animal care. Those experiences have shaped how I approach every pet I meet whether they’re shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, I make sure they feel loved and comfortable. When you trust me with your pet, you can be sure they’ll be treated like family. I pay attention to their routines, their likes and dislikes, and I’m committed to giving them not only the basics like food, water, and exercise but also plenty of affection, playtime, and comfort while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being will always be my top priority. Caring for animals is woven into my everyday life. Each morning starts with feeding, fresh water, and some playtime or walks for my pets, making sure they start the day happy and energized. Throughout the day, I check in regularly for cuddle breaks, grooming, and any special needs they might have. In the evenings, we have another round of walks, play, or quiet bonding time before bed. On a weekly basis, I make time for deeper cleaning, restocking supplies, and longer outdoor adventures. Because I already live in a rhythm centered around animals, adding care for other pets naturally blends into my schedule your pets will get the same attention, love, and consistency I give my own. When caring for pets my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, from feeding schedules and walk times to playtime and cuddles. I pay close attention to their behavior and body language so I can meet their needs, whether that’s extra play for energetic pets or quiet company for more relaxed ones. In my home, pets have a clean, cozy space to relax, plenty of fresh water, and a safe environment to explore. In a client’s home, I respect their space and care for it just as I would my own, making sure pets feel secure and happy in their familiar surroundings.

“Enis was great with Teddy! This was our first time using Rover and we were very satisfied with the promptness and care Teddy received. Enis was booked somewhat last minute and was very accommodating, came to meet Teddy ahead of time and was able to stop by twice when we were out for the day. We received Rover cards and photos right after each visit which was so nice. Would gladly book Enis again.”

About: I have experience taking care of my own dog for more than a decade, who then ended up becoming a senior dog with many medications daily. I treated my dog like my own child and always made sure he was loved and cared for till his very last day. I am not ready to get another dog of my own but luckily I have my brothers two dogs I always get to help watch and cuddle with for now! Dogs really do heal our souls and they deserve all the love in the world! I know how they naturally become part of the family and how we’d do anything to make sure they get the best care. You can trust that I would take care of them just like my own :) I am an operating room nurse with a very flexible schedule. Our workday ends based on the time that we finish our surgeries for the day. There are a lot of days that I am out midday and if I were to have a long day, it wouldn’t be passed 5pm. I am very easy to reach and communicate with so feel free to reach out and we can better discuss my current schedule to find something that works even last minute! I understand that care for each dog varies and the care they require is specific to each individual dog. I know whenever I left my dog with someone I made sure to give them specific instructions and any heads up they might need to know to make sure he gets what he needs and that the process just goes smoothly for both. I am open to following directions and listening to any concerns you may have about your pet to make it the best experience!

About: I have been a dog lover and animal rights advocate all of my life and I have always wanted to work with animals in some capacity. Making dogs happy has always been such a fulfilling goal of mine so walking and playing with your dogs is one way I can do that. I have previously worked at a dog hotel and know how to handle different sizes and temperaments so I am experienced in all situations. I am a big advocate for the more cuddles the better so your dog will feel loved for the entirety of their time with me! I currently work from home and have access to multiple dog parks that I can go to multiple times a day. My work is flexible and I will be able to walk your dog as often as they need to. I have a dog of my own that is super sweet and loves other dogs so your dog will fit very well into our already existing routine. I am respectful by following the rules of your home when I come into your home to pick up your dog. I will never do something that you do not approve of first whether it be giving a certain treat, going to a park, etc. Trust is the key!

“Wonderful service- very caring and genuine”

“Su is absolutely fantastic with our two cats Mimi and Hobbes and I can’t recommend her highly enough to look after your own furfam! They love her dropping in for a cuddle, play, litter change, and delicious dinner! Su is the best cat sitter we’ve had and we an absolutely rely on her to take care of our feline friends without issue - she’s reliable, friendly, sens us lots of BEAUTIFUL pictures and loves animals! Su is extremely thoughtful around things like bringing on packages in from the rain when we’re away; or making sure the temperature is correct for our cats; or letting them out to catch some sunbeams on our balcony! We think so highly of Su that we plan all our holidays around her availability as we wouldn’t have anyone else taking care of our guys! 5*!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my unique background and experiences. I grew up on a farm, which gave me a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. I also took on the responsibility of raising two pets on my own during my teenage/adult years, honing my skills in pet care and training. Furthermore, throughout my teenage years, I volunteered at pet shelters, developing empathy and expertise in caring for animals of all ages and breeds. Whether it's training puppies or providing senior care, my lifelong connection with animals and hands-on experiences make me a dedicated and knowledgeable pet sitter committed to ensuring the well-being of your beloved pets. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine. Working from home allows me to be present for your pets throughout the day, and regularly go on walks, up to 2-miles a day. On weekends, I can further engage in your pets well being since I am an active hiker, ensuring they receive ample exercise and attention. In my home, pets enjoy a safe and enriching environment with the convenience of a fenced-in yard for playtime. I provide them with a variety of toys and maintain an outdoor camera system for added safety and security, ensuring their well-being and peace of mind for both the pets and their owners. When caring for pets in a client's home, I replicate this level of care and attention, creating a comfortable and secure environment tailored to their specific needs.
