Pet Sitting Eola

“Very sweet and patient with my rescue dog! She can be shy and takes time to trust new people, but Maryna was kind, gentle, and understanding with her. I really appreciated their patience and care. Highly recommend!”

“Could not have asked for a better first time experience with Erin. Super communicative. Was willing to adjust to changing pet care instructions and visitation schedules. And reasonable value for what we needed (bearded dragon care). All in all, I would highly recommend Erin and we’ll definitely be using her services again!”

About: My family raised Rottweilers growing up at a young age. I eventually had my own American bulldog during college and frequently watch my friend's English Mastiff. I have a unique schedule in which I typically only work every third day, so days off I am more than able to take care of your dog! From long walks to all the cuddles, let me make sure your furry friend is taken care of! I work every third day for 24 hours, so on my days off I am more than able to help pet sit or walk your dog throughout the entire time I am off. I am typically available even on short notice as long as it is a day I am not scheduled to work. I have a large townhouse with plenty of nearby walking trails and forest preserves, as well as a very large sectional for cuddles! Whatever your pet prefers, I can accommodate. From playing with their toys to getting extra treats, your dog will be loved just as if they were my own.

“We had a great first experience with Jack! He was on time, reliable, and took good care of our dogs. Everything went smoothly, and we would definitely use him again.”

About: I’ve had dogs off and on my whole life but I’ve always been a cat person :) For 5 years, I’ve been doing in-home newborn sessions and I always love meeting my clients’ pets! I’m comfortable with all types of dogs and am a safe and reliable care taker. My photoshoots are typically 10am-2pm, so I’m available for drop-ins most other times. I can take pups for walks, do feeds and bathroom chores, and give your pets attention :) My portrait clients trust me to come into their home and handle their newborns, so you can be sure I will treat your home and pets with respect.

“Sandra has walked our boys twice now and her service is top-notch. After our meet and greet in person with the pups, you could tell she takes a gentle, confident approach with all dogs. The two visits with our boys has been excellent. I would highly recommend Sandra to everyone.”

About: I have helped look after other peoples pets since I was younger. I have a genuine love for all animals and enjoy looking after them. I am currently a student and coach. I would love to fit pet care into my morning or weekend routine and possible overnights as well. I live in a small apartment and would not be able to bring them to my place, but I do have a care and am a reliable person to come to your home and love your pet.

“Lauchlan was fantastic! She sent thorough daily reports and photos of her drop-in visits with our cat. I looked forward to each one and loved hearing that he got along so well with her. She was on time, respectful of our property, and followed instructions perfectly. I would absolutely book with her again next time we need a pet sitter!”

“Tami talked me through a first time visit and made me feel so comfortable! Our dog ABSOLUTELY loved her, and she sent pictures and messages the whole time she was there. The best we could ask for as first time users, and will be using again!”

About: I started dog sittng in college for my professors and quickly grew to love it. I've gained experience walking, feeding, and caring for dogs, and I bring these skills to my own pets as well. I'm excited to provide the same care and attention to your dog while you're away. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible and I can accomodate your need. I also offer pickup and drop-off services for a small fee. I have a fenced yard providing a secured space for your dog to play and relax. I also have a senior male Australian Shedperd who loves to play with other dogs, so your pet will have a friendly companion during the stay.

About: I Take a Personalized Approach and Maintain Constant Communication I don’t treat all pets the same. I carefully assess the behavior of each animal, understanding that an adult dog has different needs than an energetic puppy or a shy cat. Before accepting any booking, I conduct a detailed consultation to learn about your pet’s routine, fears, favorite activities, and specific medical needs. In addition, I provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know how your pet is doing. I don’t just say, “They’re doing fine.” I’ll tell you how well they ate, how much they played, and how their walk went, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. My time management and the way I integrate pet care into my daily routine are designed to ensure consistency and individualized attention, as your pet’s routine is essential to their well-being. In summary, my schedule is built around reliability, consistency, and controlled flexibility, ensuring that your pet’s care fits seamlessly into my day without ever feeling rushed or stressful. ● Home-Like Environment, No Crates: My home is fully pet-proofed and designed to make pets feel like they’re in a second home. Pets live alongside me and are never confined to a crate unless specifically requested by the owner. ● 24/7 Supervision: Pets staying in my home receive constant supervision. I only leave for very short, planned periods, and only when the pet is comfortable, safe, and secure. ● Small Group Care: I accept only a limited number of pets at a time to ensure each one receives individualized attention and that the environment remains calm, safe, and manageable. ● Secure Exercise Area: My home features a securely fenced yard where pets can enjoy supervised playtime and socialization (with the owner's approval and if the pet enjoys interacting with others). In summary, I choose the care option that best meets your pet’s emotional and physical needs—whether that means the comfort of staying in their own home or the constant supervision and companionship offered in mine.

“Jessica watched our dog for over a week. She asked clarifying questions anytime she needed to and was excellent in her communication with us while we were away. She also takes the best pictures 😊 We would absolutely book her again!!”

“Excellent. Trustworthy. Responsive and communicative. Well done.”

About: I’ve grown up always around animals. Whether they were mine, my grandparents, or a friends. I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and dogs emotionally and physically. I also volunteered to a few animal shelters to learn how to properly take care of both cats and dogs. I normally work mornings until around 2-4 pm. So I’m available the rest of the day to take care of your pets. I’m on a rotating shift so essentially I’m available everyday all day for anyone in need for pet care. There’s also times of the month I’m available all week for anyone who plans to take a vacation out of state for a week. I’ll be available to make sure your pets can also relax until you guys come back. In both my home and the client's, I will make sure all of the pets needs are taken care of. Whether that be: entertainment, training, or food.

“We are so glad to have found Cristal! Her drop-in visits for our puppy have been great. She shares photos and keeps us updated! Thank you Cristal!”

Emily T.

“This is our first time using Amie. She was AWESOME! She watched our cats, stopping by twice a day for a week. She was diligent about food and water, cleaning litter boxes, and sending photos. More importantly, she took the time to visit and play with Artie (Bert hides). She got on the floor and talked to Artie. She's got my vote. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”

About: I'm currently a fur mom to two dogs and one cat! I've grown up with pets, so I can guarantee that your pets will receive unlimited cuddles and attention. I have experience working at a doggie day care, monitoring and playing with around 30+ dogs per day! I'm comfortable with all breeds and all sizes. I promise that your fur babies will receive the same high-quality care you give them when under my care. I'm transitioning jobs currently, so I'm home all the time with loads of free time. I'd love to get more active walking dogs or working a second job, like pet sitting, while in the middle of this change. The care the client gives the pet will be the same care I give, if not even more. I know that when pet parents go away, there's anxiety on both ends, so I want to ensure that the pets' schedules are followed and try to keep things the same, in order to limit that anxiety.

About: “Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside a dog, it’s too dark to read.” -Groucho Marx My mom would say I’m a cool dude. I work at night twice per week. Dogs should be comfortable alone for four to six hours , but exceptions can be made if necessary. During the day I will be home and available to give your dog as much attention as they want! I usually take multiple walks per day, but able to adapt based on dog’s energy level. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood with a private backyard, so any dog will feel comfortable. Inside, your dog will have free roam of the main floor and lower floor including bedrooms. Dogs can be crated, if preferred, but a crate must be provided.
