Pet Sitting in Elmwood Park

“Christina is the best dog sitter/walker/companion there is. She is so attentive to my dog’s needs and she provides him with love and care each time she comes. Christina is so easy to communicate with. She is very flexible, responsive, and caring. I truly recommend her for all of your dog/cat needs. Thanks so much!”

“While I was away, Tania took amazing care of my Doberman and Chihuahua. She was incredibly informative, kept me in the loop the entire time, and made being away from my dogs so much easier. She sent updates with pictures and videos, which was not only helpful but also super cute and reassuring.Both of my dogs were comfortable and clearly well cared for I could tell they were happy and relaxed with her. Tania treated them like her own and handled them with so much patience and love. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

About: My heart doesn’t know any other way-when it comes to animals, I love them instantly and unconditionally. I have 18+ years of experience caring for animals, starting from a very young age. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for both Pitbulls and French Bulldogs but to me, breed doesn’t matter. I truly love all animals, big or small. I’m bilingual and speak both English and Spanish, which helps me connect with a wider range of pet parents and provide clear, open communication. I’ve always been the go-to person for anything pet-related. My family calls me the dog whisperer because I have a natural bond with animals, especially dogs. Whether it’s advice, health concerns, or just being a listening ear, I’m the one family and friends trust with their fur babies. My soul dog was a red nose pitbull named Bricks- he taught me what real love is. Since then, I’ve raised three amazing French Bulldogs: Juicy, Kuma, and Tron. I also had the incredible experience of raising two litters from birth- Juicy had 5 puppies and Kuma had 6. I provided round-the-clock care until they were ready for their forever homes. I still keep in touch with the families- they became part of mine. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I regularly pet-sit for friends, family, and neighbors-dogs and cats alike. One of my most consistent companions is Max, my neighbor’s dog, whom I’ve been caring for for over a year. I give him daily medication and make sure he always feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ve also cared for a bearded dragon, who was part of our family for 11 wonderful years. I’m familiar with reptile needs, feeding, handling, and tank care. I also have experience caring for a cockatiel, including feeding, changing water, and maintaining a calm, happy environment for birds. I’m experienced with: Giving medication Drop-in visits Long walks and playtime Baths and basic grooming Feeding routines and crate care Newborn puppy care and socialization Basic reptile and bird care I truly treat every pet like they’re my own because in my heart, they are. The amount of kisses, cuddles, love, and attention your pet will receive is immense. I go above and beyond to make sure every animal feels safe, comforted, and cared for like family. I’m also very communicative and will keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. You can trust me to provide more than just care. I offer love, safety, and genuine companionship. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life! I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and lots of love throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or evening snuggles, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Being home full-time means your pet will never feel alone and will always have someone nearby to care for and comfort them. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m visiting yours, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. At my home, pets have plenty of room to play and relax-I have a large fenced-in yard that's perfect for safe outdoor time and supervised play. If your pet is crate-trained or needs a crate for naps or bedtime, I can easily accommodate that too. I follow each pet’s routine closely-feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care instructions-to make sure they feel at home. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and ensure everything is done exactly how you’d like. I’m also very communicative and will send regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know your pet is safe and well cared for. I treat every pet like family and work hard to create a calm, loving, and secure environment, whether they’re with me or in their own home.

“Leidy took amazingly good care of Tessa. She was very punctual and made us feel at peace while traveling. She cleaned the litter tray, gave Tessa water and food and plenty of cuddles and playtime. Thanks very much, Leidy!”

About: I’ve raised and trained my own dogs from puppyhood and have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets with both routine and special needs. I've fostered animals, administered medications, and even cared for pets recovering from serious illnesses like Parvo. I understand the patience, attention, and love that pets need at every stage of life—whether it's a playful pup or a senior companion needing extra care. Your pet’s well-being and comfort are always my top priority. As a student with a flexible schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I'm only on campus three days a week for a few hours, and the rest of the time I can do my schoolwork from anywhere.

In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep everything clean and consistent with your pet’s routine. In my home, pets have a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and affection. I always follow any instructions you provide down to the smallest detail—whether it’s feeding, medications, crate training, or just their favorite way to be petted. I also provide regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands.

“I highly recommend Bryndon with the utmost confidence. It was my first time on Rover and his profile stuck out to me. I told him honestly that my dog is a traumatized rescue plus reactive and he was willing to do a meet and greet and give my dog a chance. Bryndon was very respectful of my apartment such as taking off shoes, wiping the floor, cleaning the bathroom when my dog had an accident in there. Most of all, he was very firm and patient with my dog, narrating what he was doing and praising my dog whenever possible. Bryndon made sure to check in with me every day through WhatsApp, sending pictures and giving updates. He even has a business Instagram where we got featured. When I asked him to accommodate more visits because I got anxious, he was willing to. He also did things like check under the bed for my dog and try to sit for longer periods of time. I felt so bad that my dog lunged and growled at some point but Bryndon handled the situation so calmly and professionally. Bryndon basically put up with my anxiety and neuroticism in general ahah. I would be more than happy to book with Bryndon again as I trust him with my dog and apartment and everything else. Although my dog has a long way to go with his healing and learning to trust again, Bryndon had such a positive impact on him. My dog would often look for him at the top of the stairs and was able to get past him a few times. This progress in a week meant a lot. Thank you so much, Bryndon”

About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life i currently have my very own babies whom I love very much I'm sure youll see why if you take a look at their pictures in my profile they're the cutest and sweets boys. I've taken care of cats, dogs, lizards, turtles. I know not all animals are the same and I can't wait to get to know yours and care for them the same way I care for mine. I'm currently working from home part-time, so I have plenty of time on my hands to handle additional furry friends. I do have pets of my own that can have have fun playing with too I have three parks around my neighborhood and obviously we'll go for walks and no I will not bring other dogs on the walk. Just me and your baby, they'll have my undivided attention. I have a fenced year and two friendly puppies to keep your fur baby company. My dogs are crate trained, and I do have additional crates if your baby is too. I also have two adult cats but they stay and sleep in my aunts room very lazy I know I've told them multiple times to help around the house but they refuse stating they give enough purrs and cuddles. However, do not worry. Your babies will have access to the rest of the house and the front yard. Also, walks as well.

“Nicole was wonderful with our cat, Atticus! We loved the updates after every visit and sweet pictures. Atticus loved her and gave her lots of cuddles 😊”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child and I love animals I have 4 dogs of my own and treat my dogs really well. I am currently working a full time week job but I have days that I am free that I’m willing to take care of other dogs I have a big back yard with a fenced in kennel for the dogs to run around and play as long as a little pool for them to drink and cool down

About: First, I am a client of Roger. I found some truly great sitters who adore my dog. I am recently retired and looking to give back to those who need a great dog sitter/walker. Since getting Moose (my 2 year old 90 pound Bernadoodle, I have fallen in love with all dogs. They steal your heart. A days notice is great but also last minute notice is ok too. I will do my best to accommodate. Only days I am not available are Mondays and Wednesdays I follow the direction of the owner. Feed as needed, walk as needed, and whatever instructions are provided. Provide a lot a play as well

About: I'm a grounded, patient, and nurturing person who truly enjoys the company of dogs. While I may not have a backyard, I more than make up for it with frequent walks, park visits, and plenty of 1 on 1 attention. I believe in creating a calm and loving environment where dogs of all ages and energy levels can feel safe and relaxed. One of the things I’m most proud of is helping my own rescue dog grow from a timid pup, afraid of her own shadow, into a confident walker who loves the outdoors. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and empathy. Skills I bring to every dog I care for. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me with their furry companions, knowing I treat them like my own. Whether your dog loves adventure or prefers a slower pace, I’ll tailor their care to make sure they feel right at home. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets the time and attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether it's going for relaxing walks, offering plenty of pets and affection, or just being a calming presence nearby, I love having a furry companion as part of my routine. Your pet won’t just be “watched” they’ll be part of my daily life. I live in a cozy, pet friendly apartment with my sweet and well behaved female dog. I create a calm and welcoming environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible. Whether that means timely meals, regular walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I’m attentive to their comfort, keep a tidy space, and ensure they feel at home while in my care. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like they’re part of the family.

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.
