Pet Sitting in Elmwood Park

“Christina and her partner were incredibly patient, caring and flexible when it came to caring for my two cats. She was through when following instructions and able to pivot when my cat decided to be less than cooperative. She also was great at communication and put my nervous mind at ease.”

About: I have always grew up loving dogs. We have a thirteen year old maltese named, Troy. He also enjoys the company of other small dogs! Your puppies are in the best hands. Currently have open availability to care for the puppy during the day/evening. I wake up rather early and am available when needed to accommodate the needs of the pup as I work from home. Pet friendly environment. Love taking long walks. Plenty of room and love cuddling! I have two daughters ages 2 and 4, absolutely love puppies as well so must be kid friendly! I work from home, so have plenty of time during the day to care for your furry friend. All needs will be accommodated and can administer medication if needed. We have a yard, non fenced. However the dogs are in great hands. Safe street, will always be leashed when outside. Around the clock service as I work from home. Plenty of pictures will be taken!

“Nicole is an angel! There’s very few people I’d trust with my cats and Nicole is definitely one of them . She sends daily pictures and updates ,Followed through with directions and had fantastic attention to detail. 10/10 !!!”

“Erica is a devoted dog lover and sitter. From the very beginning (soon after my initial request) and all throughout her visits, she kept in regular contact and always communicated clearly and kindly. Our dog Ranger never had it so good. She kept us updated with photos of his activities and the love and care she provided. We'll definitely have her back. She has our highest recommendation!”

About: I'm a life long cat lover who never seems to have enough space for the menagerie of cats that I would love to own. Pet-sitting is the next best thing! I have raised & loved several cats through their entire lives as newborns into their maturity. I am currently a Cat Mom to two males in a May/December relationship (3yr old/9 yr old). They could not be more opposite or more joyful to live with. I am flexible alongside my part-time job. Acting and producing in the world of community theatre keeps me busy, but caring for pets & housesitting keeps me happy and grounded. I will always be fair & honest about my time & availability. As an actor I am gifted in matching energy: is your pet skittish or nervous? Are they older or grumpy & listless? Well, I can be good company either way. I’ve cared for and given medication to senior dogs & cats that need more attention. I’m observant, caring & intuitive to their needs. While caretaking in your home, I will be dependable, respectful & trustworthy. *Please note - specialty senior care is at PUPPY rate.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years through family and friends, and I’m always the person they trust to watch their pets. I genuinely love animals, and dogs tend to feel comfortable with me very quickly. I have experience with small and medium-sized dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m especially patient with more anxious or sensitive dogs. I have an anxious dog of my own, which has taught me how to read body language, build trust, and create a calm, safe environment. I’m very attentive and detail-oriented, so I always follow care instructions closely, whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines. I can also help reinforce basic training like leash manners and structure during walks. My goal is to make every dog feel cared for, understood, and happy while giving owners complete peace of mind. I treat every dog like my own and always keep communication open and consistent. I’m available Thursday through Sunday, with the most flexibility on weekends. On Thursdays and Fridays, I work part-time and am home by early afternoon, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and evening care. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication above everything. I follow each pet’s routine closely and take the time to understand their individual needs, behaviors, and comfort levels. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, as well as a very friendly Shihpoo who is used to being around other dogs. I always supervise interactions and make sure every dog feels comfortable and secure. I also have a pet camera at home for added monitoring, and a baby gate if a dog feels more comfortable in a smaller, more confined space. I’m especially mindful with more anxious dogs, as I have one of my own, so I understand the importance of patience and creating a calm, safe environment.

“Enis is great with our very large (155 lb) dog, Vito. He communicates well and sends us pictures which we love to see while we are away. We definitely recommend Enis.”

“Lillian did a great job for my cat. She uploaded a lot of videos while she was taking care of the cat. While my cat is shy and usually afraid of new people, he quickly got along with Lillian.”

About: If you give me the opportunity to care for your pet, you'll feel at ease knowing I'll take care of it as if it were my own. I'll give it all the love and attention it needs to make you feel happy. Right now I'd like to dedicate myself solely to animals and their care. I have every day of the week free to dedicate myself to them. For me, all animals deserve the same treatment and care. I always give them my best, no matter the occasion. I will always give you all my love, attention and you will never lack my care.

“Eileen is bright and energetic. A pleasure to work with.”

About: Our dogs are the new children, and that’s why I know it’s beyond difficult to trust anyone with your four legged babies. You will never need to worry about that with me. I treat all animals as if they were my own babies and make sure to cater to each animal’s needs and preferences. Apart from having two puppers of my own - a 70 lb Goldendoodle and a 15 lb Havapoo - I volunteer at an animal shelter where I’ve worked with dogs off all shapes and sizes, and all with their own quirks. I am comfortable walking your 110 lb Great Dane or your 8 lb toy poodle. I welcome and love them all. I’m happy to take your dog out on walks, to the park, or just give them love and attention. My goal is to make your life worry free and keep your doggy happy while you are away from one another. I currently work from home full time M-F and have a good flexibility to do drop ins or house sitting. I’m also very flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home or walking your dog, I’m prioritizing your dog’s safety above all. I will never allow your dog to be approached by unfamiliar animals without your consent or allow them to be off leash in unsecured areas. I want them to be happy, comfortable, and safe at all times.

“Best pet service!! I’m truly happy I found Diane and was able to have her taken care of my two kitties while I was gone for vacation. She is very patient and caring for my little ones and has given me the comfort of knowing they were in good hands while I was away! Will totally rebook her on for next getaway ☺️”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over five years, and I have two small dogs of my own that I love. I’m organized, responsible, and attentive, and I provide each dog with personalized care, walks, and playtime. I also prioritize clear communication with owners, just as I appreciate when someone cares for my own pets. I’m available all week, including weekends. Just reach out and we can discuss your schedule. I kindly ask owners to be honest about their pets’ needs and behavior so I can provide the best care and avoid any issues during their stay. I prefer to care for pets at my home, where I can provide a safe and comfortable environment. I offer boarding only for small dogs, as I live on a 2nd floor, and I have a backyard where pets can play at least twice a day, along with neighborhood walks. My goal is for every dog to have a happy and enjoyable stay. For any specific details or questions, feel free to contact me.
