Top rated Elwood pet sitters


“I was so nervous to use a perfect stranger to watch my fur babies but Rachael and Logan came for a meet and greet. They instantly made us feel so comfortable. The 1st drop by visit went great and I loved all the pictures of their time together. It was awesome and it was super clear that our babies were having a great time. They are awesome”


“Katharine was amazing with Lily! I was out of town for 8 days and never once worried about whether her needs were being met. Katharine sent photos, updates and detailed notes on every walk. I would recommend Katharine a thousand times over.”


“Giselle is are now go to sitter! She is extremely good at following my crazy helicopter dog mom instructions😂 she is very professional and did everything we needed of her perfect and went above our expectations!! Our German shepherd is a little shy and also a ball of energy once warmed up and he loves her and we are so thankful for that because he can have a hard to warming up to people. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!”


“Lauren did a great job dropping in on our boy. She really made him feel comfortable over the weekend with his parents gone. Thank you so much.”


“Simply put, Anthony was great. This is my first time using a pet sitter and Anthony took the time to answer all of my questions which really put my mind at ease. My Doberman warmed up to Anthony rather quickly which was evident in the terrifuc reports and photos that Anthony provided after each visit. Thank you, Anthony!”


“Sarah was great to my 2 dogs. One dog is very senior, and the other has health conditions. Sarah made sure she understood each dog’s needs, and asked questions when needed. I would highly recommend Sarah, and will be using her services again in the future.”


“Christine did a great job taking care of my two dogs. I had some late days that kept me away from home and Christine did drop in visits each day. She was a life saver and my dogs loved her. I will definitely be using her again.”


About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience, a deep love for animals, and a calm, reliable approach to care. I’m 31 years old and have spent my entire life around dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Whether it’s caring for energetic puppies, giving gentle attention to senior pets, or just understanding each pet’s unique needs, I treat every animal like my own—with patience, affection, and respect. I’m confident in administering basic medications, recognizing pet body language, and keeping animals safe, comfortable, and happy in any environment. I work full-time from 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday, but I’m available for pet sitting on weekends and for walks or drop-in visits after 5pm on weekdays. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to give them the attention, activity, and affection they need when I’m with them. I have a fenced in yard with enough space to run and play, I also have a chocolate lab who is laid back and loves other dogs.


“Very reliable and communicative!”


About: Hi there! I’m Amber, a dedicated pet sitter with over 5 years of experience in veterinary medicine. My passion for animals began at a young age, leading me to pursue a career where I could combine my love for pets with my expertise in their care. Throughout my years in veterinary medicine, I’ve gained valuable insights into animal behavior, health, and wellness, which allows me to provide exceptional care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s administering medication, ensuring proper nutrition, or simply providing companionship, I prioritize the well-being of your furry family members. I believe every pet deserves love, attention, and a safe environment. I’m committed to creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I am currently working part time at an ER clinic, so I will have lots of open availability to help take care of your pets Dog walking: will find safe and adventurous routes to exercise along. Pet sitting: will stick to the dog’s routine with feeding and potty breaks and lots of cuddles!

About: I’ve have grown up in a house with both cats and dogs, very comfortable with large breeds of dogs. I take the time to get to know each animal individually. I work full time and have availability usually everyday after 5pm. I am also available anytime on the weekends as I have those off work. I will follow any house rules and will do what I can to make your pets comfortable with me being in their homes to help take care of them in any way that they need.

“That's for helping out so I could get married. Thomas did a wonderful job and did everything and more than asked. Would book again.”


“Muhammed is our go to for taking care of our dog. He goes above and beyond to ensure good care, takes lots of pictures and sends detailed updates. Our dog requires patience, is older and disabled and she absolutely adores him! Thank you Muhammad!!!”


About: I have been taking care of the pets of friends and family for years, ranging from dog-walking to week-long pet sitting. Experience with a wide range of breeds and ages. I am a substitute teacher with a very flexible schedule, so I can take care of animals pretty much any time during days when I am not subbing. For sitting at other’s’ home, I try and keep the pet’s schedule as close to normal as possible! I prefer sitting in other’s’ homes just to keep things simple for the furry babies.

“She was excellent!! She went above and beyond of what I asked for. The communication was excellent. I would recommend her to anyone!! I would book her services again.”


“When I needed someone to look after my two aggressive Rottweilers while I was out of town, Frank came to the rescue. Despite not having a chance to meet beforehand, Frank agreed to drop in, demonstrating his professionalism and flexibility. From the moment Frank stepped into my home, his professionalism and confidence put me at ease. He provided regular updates, ensuring my Rottweilers were safe and happy. Despite the challenges of handling aggressive breeds, Frank handled them with care and expertise. I'm incredibly grateful for Frank’s dedication, flexibility, and peace of mind he provided. His willingness to go above and beyond, even without a formal introduction, speaks volumes about his commitment to his clients and their pets. I wholeheartedly recommend Frank for anyone in need of reliable and compassionate care for their furry companions.”


“Thank you being amazing and helping me understand how Rover works. This process was truly seamless. You were great with Boost and he also got to introduce you to his new friends that live next door 😂.”



“Taylor was so awesome and Phoenix (who is an extremely shy cat with strangers usually) warmed instantly!! Sent me photo updates and even offered to turn on my AC for me on a day that particularly warm. Will definitely contact in the future as well.”


About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds, and have the most experience with large breed dogs and cats. I've been fostering with my mom since I was 12, and I love spending time with fuzzy friends! I am currently unemployed and have as much time to care for pets. This may change, though, so I will always stay updated as soon as possible! I take care of animals inside of a clients home, and care for them as their owners would throughout the day, keeping the pets' routine as regular as possible.

About: My previous dog was a therapy dog who loved being around people. He was the best, most well-trained dog and we miss him every day. I currently have been working part-time and would LOVE to have a furry friend to check on in the early mornings or after 5pm ish. I would love the love! I love to walk and will make sure I clean up and not mess up any home or area I am in. I am a responsible, ethical, woman who (with my husband) is not home a lot. We do not think this would be fair to a dog.

Alison G.
“Ali is the best! I can't thank her enough for the exceptional care she gives to my senior cat and rambunctious young lab pup. My cat has a lot of dietary restrictions and some health concerns, so finding a reliable and trustworthy caretaker is my #1 priority. I am so happy to have found someone I trust with my fur-family and they both absolutely LOVE Ali. Nothing better than coming home to happy healthy pets!!! If you want a kind, knowledgeable, and respectful sitter/walker, Ali has you covered.”
