House Sitting in Elwood

“Kristina is a reliable, thoughtful person. She was awesome with my two dogs and cat. My pets were comfortable in all the pictures she sent me during the two days she spent with them. She truly loves animals… I would definitely have her stay at my house again.”

Margaret Y.

“Absolutely incredible. I needed a sitter for my pup last minute and Jess went out of her way above and beyond to squeeze in a meet and greet as well as watching my furbaby. Super sweet, punctual, great communication and absolutely love and care for my furbaby. Highly recommend and would definitely rebook with when needed.”

“Kurt had a wonderful time with Rose. She’s a truly caring and reliable sitter. Rose went above and beyond to ensure Kurt was happy and well-cared for. We felt completely at ease knowing Kurt was in Rose’s capable hands. Don’t look for another sitter: Rose is the one you need. A thousand times thank you, Rose.”

About: I have owned dogs almost all my life and treat them as though they are my family. I have dealt with dogs who have to take medicine and dogs with different medical conditions. I have taken care of dogs of many different sizes from pugs to huskeys. I currently take care of my childhood dogs that live with my mother when she goes away. I am currently an unemployed college student, so over the summer I have all the time in the world to play, walk, and care for your pets! I will make sure that your pets follow all your house rules from putting them in a crate or not being allowed to use furniture.

“Julia was amazing with my dog. She was always on time and updated me throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her and I will be using her services again”

“Ava stepped up for us last minute when previous arrangements fell through. She is kind and considerate and wanted to make sure Tucker and Zeke had the best time while I was gone. I came home to a tidy house and she even stripped the sheets off the bed she slept in. I was not expecting that. I got daily photos of each dog while I was away, but I know deep down they did not miss me 🤣. I would reach out to her again.”

Samantha N.

“We highly recommend Jen. We came home to a happy dog and a clean home. We are so grateful to be able to go out of town knowing that Bertha is in such good hands!”

Alison F.

“Linda was amazing! She helped us out last minute when we couldn’t find anyone else. The dogs really liked her and she was great with them. She updated us with photos and you could tell the dogs were happy. She followed all instructions that we left her and we couldn’t be happier. I will definitely use her in the future and recommend her.”

About: Whether it's caring for my hyper-active Golden Retriever, my attitude-giving Tabby Cat, or my reoccurring client's King Charles' Spaniel and English Setters, I'm more than equipped to handle any size dog or cat. I'm used to staying at the pet's home, but willing to be flexible and stop by whenever needed. Fun Facts: Used to caring for horses, barn cats, goats, rabbits, and fish. Taking care of my pets is a huge part of my schedule as I find it's the best way to keep them happy and healthy. Daily walks, even weekly park visits, and lots of cuddles and scratches are all simple ways to keep my kids content and healthy. I make sure my pets are in their respective areas before leaving my home; this ensures that they are in a safe place and have access to any food or water they need. Care varies depending on client's wants/pet's needs, but I am willing to handle a crated pet or free-roaming (as long as they are well adjusted and don't mind strangers).

About: I have taken care of my family friends dogs for years, often ranging from elderly mini poodles to energetic border collies. I also have my own dog, however, because I am away for college she is currently not with me. I am also a Division 1 Athlete so I love taking them out on walks and having fun with them. I am available on mornings of weekdays and all day on weekends, because I am a full time student-athlete. In addition, late evenings of weekdays work well for me as well. I will often take pets on walks and make sure they get adequate exercise. Having a pet of my own, I understand how important nutrition is to your pets and will follow whatever plan you have for them. In addition, I also acknowledge how important it is to have a clean pet, and can wash your pet.

“Dillion was great. Quick response to texts. Sent pics and kept us updated. Very attentive and caring. Highly recommend.”

“Andrea did such a wonderful job with our boys. We have a dog and a cat, and they both clearly loved spending a whole week with her. She had great communication, sending us photos throughout the day to keep us up to date. She was also incredibly respectful of our home, leaving it in perfectly clean condition for our arrival. We never worried about our boys throughout the week, which is the most we can ask for! Thank you Andrea!”

About: Hi there! My name is Paige, and I’ve never known a life without dogs. Since I was around 6, I’ve been helping out around the house with pet-related chores. My passion and love for animals has shaped me as a human being, and I can’t wait to give your furry best friend all my love. :) I currently work part time, leaving me with lots of free time to care for your furry friend! No need to worry about me cancelling last minute! Ever since I was born, there has been a dog in the house. I was taught at a young age to care for and unconditionally love animals. Your pets safety is of utmost importance to me. When I am taking care of your pet I am alert, aware, and focused.

“Ginia was absolutely fantastic! She took wonderful care of my 3 dogs. My dogs are all unique in their own ways and Ginia cared for each of them individually. She sent lots of pics, videos and status updates so I was never anxious about how they were doing. I would highly recommend her!”

About: With 10 years of experience, I excel in dog training for all ages, from puppies to seniors, and provide personalized care to meet each pet’s unique needs. Pet care is an integral part of my routine, seamlessly blending with my daily activities. I’m dedicated to providing a nurturing and enjoyable experience for pets, ensuring they feel safe and loved. I ensure a secure and clean environment for pets in my home or yours. My focus on safety and trust guarantees that every pet receives top-notch care and comfort.

About: I've spent my whole life surrounded by pups and animals. I love having them around & I know how great it feels to come home to a happy dog. I've watched over several of my friends & family dogs/cats as well as fostered dogs for 2 years, and would love to help you feel great about leaving your animal home while work or need some time out! I currently work remote and am therefore pretty flexible as long as there is wifi.. I can stay how ever long is needed and/or visit as often as you'd like! I'd be willing to care for pets at the client's home, up to the parent's wishes. I can play with them outside, take them on long walks, keep them company, whatever makes the client comfortable.

“I can’t say enough good things about Susan. From the moment we met, I trusted her implicitly with Leo—and now, after having her care for him, I appreciate her even more. She’s a sweet, nurturing soul who made sure both Leo’s needs and mine were fully met. Before I left, she took the time to gather every bit of information she might need and showed real concern and empathy, especially when I shared my worries about Leo’s age. While I was away, she stayed in touch, sending thoughtful updates and photos that clearly showed how much she loved and saw my cat for the special, personable little being he is. Knowing he was being kissed and adored made my absence much easier. Susan was also incredibly flexible with my shifting schedule—never once making me feel bad about the changes. And her kindness didn’t stop with Leo. She brought cookies from a local lemonade stand to support the neighborhood kids, left some for me, and baked me her own dark chocolate cookies (which were absolutely delicious). She nurtured me as much as she did Leo. When I came home, Leo was calm, content, and clearly well-loved. Susan is a rare and gentle soul—empathetic, attentive, and genuine. I feel so lucky to have found her.”

About: Hello, my name is Anna, and I’m a dedicated and experienced dog caregiver with a lifelong passion for animals. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of owning and caring for three wonderful dogs—a Bichon Frise, a Lab mix, and a Pitbull—each of whom taught me something unique about loyalty, love, and responsibility. My Experience I have hands-on experience managing all aspects of dog ownership, including training, daily walks, vet appointments, and all related care expenses. I'm comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes and am confident handling multiple dogs at once. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a gentle senior, I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. I work full-time, but pet care is a meaningful part of my life and something I make time for. I’m available for evening walks, weekend dog sitting, and flexible drop-ins. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I always ensure they get the attention and love they deserve, no matter how busy life gets. In my home, pets stay in a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I follow their usual routine to help them feel at ease. In a client’s home, I respect your space and stick to your pet’s schedule—feeding, walking, and giving them the love and attention they’re used to. Wherever your pet is, I care for them like they’re my own.
