House Sitting Fraterville

About: I have had pets for my entire life. I have experience giving oral medications as I have had geriatric dogs. Your pets deserve to have as much of their normal routine as possible while their parents are out of town. I am available for full day care on Wednesday, Thursday, some Fridays, and weekends as a supplement to my full time job. I no longer have pets of my own and would love the opportunity to love your pets as if they were mine! I will care for your pets as if they are my own. They deserve to be comfortable in their homes, maintaining their normal routines. I would love to help!

“2nd time using her, she sends pictures and videos to help ensure you’re not worried about your pup! Truly feel like she’s intentional about her dogsitting”

“Our dogs are part of our family and we treat them as such. It was such a blessing to find someone who loves on them so sweetly. Jeff took such good care of them and gave them so much attention. We truly appreciate being able to leave our home confident that our pups are well cared for and protected. We will definitely use Jeff again.”

“Cassondra housesat and watched our 1 yr old dog and 2 cats while were were gone for over a week- I was nervous as we had not been away from our dig since adopting her, and she has some anxiety. Cassondra took excellent care of all our animals, everyone was healthy and happy when we returned! She sent us regular updates and pictures, handled any minor things that happened, and left our house spotless. We will definitely be hiring her again!”

About: I’ve worked in dog daycare and boarding for six years as well as taking care of my pets. I also have some experience taking care of horses and sheep. I’m generally available weekdays from 11 AM–2 PM, with evening flexibility from 4–6 PM as needed. I’m also available on weekends. I have extensive experience caring for animals of all kinds, beginning in childhood, and I’m committed to providing your pet with attentive, dependable, and compassionate care.

“Naomi was the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! She was available so last minute and we had to kept extending our days for a death in the family. It was a tall order because we have 4 dogs with all very different needs. Naomi handled it with ease, was flexible and accommodating, and updated us with pictures daily. We came home to a cleaner house than before, vacuumed floors, Amazon boxes stacked, laundry folded and the dogs were very happy! We could tell she did a great job with our babies!! I will 100% be rebooking with Naomi again. My husband and I are so impressed!!!!”

About: I have three years of caring for homes and pets, offering gentle assistance with light chores and ensuring pets receive their meals and medication with love and attention . Caring for animals is very rewarding for me as they bring me peace and comfort. I feel people have busy lives and their pets deserve to be cared for and nurtured in the process. Well just like people each pet would have specific needs and wants. I would observe the temperament and needs of the pet. I also administer medication and walks/socialization as needed.

“Chandler was great during our house sitting! She checked in with us often and we came home to a clean house! Our dogs loved her so much they were looking for her in the guest room the next morning after she left!”

About: I have had cats, reptiles, dogs and fish my entire life! I have had big dogs, small dogs, kittens and geriatric animals. I currently have three dogs at home and two of them are seniors one is a little dog and one is a Rottweiler they they are on medication so I am extremely familiar with senior dog care. I currently care for one cat at home who is 2 and have three more back in Chicago two are kittens and one is 16 so also lots of experience with cats old and young. I was my neighborhoods pet sitter and have had experience with all animals! I have a cat that I care for everyday and I am very timely and consistent with care and feeding. He is extremely independent so that allows me a lot of time to take care of other animals which I am very familiar with when I go back to Chicago and seeing all my dogs and cats! I am super flexible and adaptable like I said I have dealt with all types of ages and breeds so I can handle a lot. I understand and respect boundaries with animals and will follow the owners instructions. I love playing with animals and going outside or to the park/beach so I am more than willing to do whatever is needed to provide the best and safest care.

About: I’m experienced in walking and playing with dogs in the evening. Don’t stress about leaving a dog in my care. They will be in excellent care and thoroughly entertained. I’m available after 5:30pm Monday thru Thursday. I have more flexibility on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I am a part-timer on Rover. I can walk, fed, and entertain your pet to make sure they are satisfied. My home is unfortunately not suitable for boarding pets on the regular. I am able to stay with the pet overnight at their home upon request.

“Kenzie did a wonderful job watching our dogs for the day.”

About: My personal experience with animal care spans for essentially my entire life, starting with my parents having participated in AKC dog shows before I was born, ultimately retiring from this when I was extremely young. There have always been many animals in the house and I've participated in assisting with animal care essentially since the moment I have been physically capable of it. I've casually pet sit previously for friends and family friends to positive reception on a word of mouth basis prior to deciding to pursue doing this more consistently. I do not personally have a dog at the moment due to my status as a student meaning variable living conditions and often not with significant space. However, I do eventually plan to get a larger rescue dog when my circumstances allow. For now my personal day to day experience is with my childhood cat, who I have taken with me to college and is now 18 years old. If you happen to have senior pets with special needs, rest assured that I have plenty of experience with such things for both dogs and cats and regularly manage them with my own cat on a daily basis. I would also like to note that I am going into the healthcare field and have shared foundational courses and training in my undergraduate education with several friends who would go on to pursue veterinary medicine or conservation in their graduate tracks. There is a common base of knowledge between myself and future veterinarians and you can rest easy knowing that any medical issues or concerns will be noticed, respected, and handled appropriately. I look forward to meeting your family! I'm in a unique position where until January 2027, I am essentially completely available. Due to this unexpected free time, and upcoming tuition expenses I've felt it would be a good decision to try and make what money I can putting my skills in pet care to use over the course of this available period. I will likely continue to pet sit in 2027, since I do just enjoy it, but be aware that my availability will decrease significantly and I will be much more restricted to weekends. Due to my personal circumstances as a student, I am unable to host. I care for pets first and foremost with respect to any specific instructions provided by my client and secondly, how I would care for my own.
