House Sitting in Garden Prairie

“Brandi was great with our dog and two cats! She even got our shy cat to come out for pets. She sent lots of pictures and treated our animals like her own! It was so nice to leave and know our animals were in good hands.”

“Erika was wonderful with our Plott dog Nash!!❤️ he is still raving about how nice she was ! lol 😬 we took a week vacation and Erika stayed at our house and watched Nash for us. She sent us videos and pictures all the time! Our house was spotless when we came home! Just a really fantastic Dog Sitter! We will definitely use Erika again and again!”

“Beth and her daughter were wonderful house sitters!! They followed my detailed instructions carefully and there were no issues. Beth sent pictures of my pets and even videos of my puppies playing in the yard. She responded to all my texts quickly with updates as I wanted them. The house was left in perfect order, just the way I left it, and she even washed the sheets and towels they used. I highly recommend Beth and her daughter!”

“Michelle was wonderful with my medically challenging senior dog. It was so reassuring to know that my Jamie was being treated with love and compassion while I was away. I will definitely be using Michelle again!!”

“Lisa took great care of my 3 dogs (including 1 puppy) while I was gone. Additionally, tidied up (puppy, remember??!!!) so I didn't have "chores" to address when I returned home.”

About: I have been helping to take care of family pets for the last handful of years. Taking walks and check ins for potty breaks and food! I work full time, 40 hours a week. Will be able to work before and after shifts, days off, weekends included! Holidays depend on availability. I ensure all environments are clean, safe, and comfortable for the pets. Food, water, clean litter available at all times when I am there with them

“Michelle was polite, courteous and professional. Overall, she did the best she could with my youngest rescue being timid to the point of going inside the house for the three days I was travelling. Not her fault and I would like to continue for future trips in hopes of her acclimating to my shy, timid boy.”

“Abigail was an amazing dog sitter for our little rescue dog. He can be a tricky one with lots of separation anxiety, but Abigail was such a great support and comfort to him. She was very communicative and tried everything she could to make sure he was happy and healthy. She went above and beyond and we are so thankful to have had her as our sitter!”

“Lashay is amazing! She has sat for me a couple time now and takes such great care of my pup! She does a great job reinforcing the house rules and keeping my fur baby on schedule. She is an amazing communicator and I always know what’s up with my pup. Highly recommend.”

“Ashley was amazing! She did such a good job with Myla. She was very good at communicating and she even left my apartment cleaner then I left it! I would book her again!”

I love all kinds and want to work with you in taking care of your pets just like my own. Your pets will be safe, happy and well cared for, giving you peace of mind while you are at work or traveling! Currently I work PT. So if we can make it work we can make it work. 🦾 Pet care is my every day. I have a few animals myself and I lover them like family. I have a home with cats. Love love cats so much. I grew up with dogs and birds amongst others as well. I am established with the care and needs of both. Whatever help you need I’ll be there. :)

“Ewa is wonderful with our two labs and my daughter's lab. She worked hard to win over their trust and once she had established that she had them eating out of her hands! They come running when she calls. She will be our first choice for dog sitter whenever we need one.”

About: I am very passionate about dogs and making sure that they receive the care and attention they deserve. I cater to both you and your pets needs, whether they need a quick stroll around the block or a hike through the park. I make sure to provide them with love and care as I would my own pets. Your dog/cats safety and wellbeing is my top priority. What you can expect from me is punctual, dependable, attentive and personalized care. Your animals will be in great hands! My goal has always been to hangout with pets all day. I typically aim for my earliest walk to be around 9am and the latest be closer to 5 or 6pm. I appreciate being able to provide care in an environment that is familiar and comfortable for the animal. I will be attending to your pets every need and prepared for any occurrence.

“She was nothing short of amazing! Showed up on time, took wonderful care of our dog. Would 100 percent use her again!”

About: Paws & Pals; Pet B&B and In-Home Care is a collaboration of the mother-daughter team, Nancy Grandinetti and her daughter, Jessica Boyd. With a shared, and boundless passion for animal welfare, and 50+ years of animal experience (between the two of us), you can be sure that you are leaving your fur-mily in the best possible hands! Nancy (51yo) began her long history in pet care at age 13, working in her uncle’s veterinary practice. During her time at Glendale Animal Hospital [Glen Ellyn, IL], she volunteered for EVERYTHING, from grooming to medication administration. This was followed shortly by her first “real” job at Save-A-Pet. Thus, began her long history of both jobs and volunteerism in the animal care community. Currently, even though her career has currently led her to sales, Nancy is a registered foster home for CPR Fund Canine Rescue [www.cprfund,com], specializing in difficult to rehabilitate dogs. Due to her work-from-home schedule, Nancy is primarily available for in-home boarding. She’s specifically set up for doggos that prefer to be alone. Jessica (34yo), instilled with her mother’s enthusiasm for animal care, has expanded that passion into equine and farm care. She has worked with a myriad of animals, including wild and exotic species. Presently, she has found her home as a part-time senior barn assistant at Main Stay Therapeutic Riding Farm [www.mainstayfarm,org]. As a homeschooling mother of three, Jessica’s primary services include dog walking, drop-in home visits, and pack-friendly boarding. She specializes in “hard-to-walk” and large-xlarge breeds of ALL ages. So, what services do we offer? Well, here’s a quick list. Don’t see something you need? Message us!

“Probably the best sitter we ever had on rover. I can’t say enough for what Brynna did- she was amazing with our pups and kept in touch all the time. We went away on a cruise and my husband forgot his birth certificate and Brynna was home with our fur babies and was able to find it while we were in Florida and take a picture for us and send it to me via text. I mean she is the best!!! She kept the house spotless, she followed all directions with meds, loved and snuggled all our pets and did everything amazing. She is worth every penny and more. She is so easy to talk too and she is such a sweetheart! Highly recommend”

About: I am the biggest animal lover. I am always putting their needs above mine. I am a huge dog lover but wouldn’t mind helping out with cats. My friends always joke that I am the person who people come to when there are lost dogs on Facebook. I will hop right into my Jeep and go out looking! I have three dogs of my own and if I could have a million I would.😊 I am a hairstylist so my schedule is kind of tricky. I can work around these hours below. :) My work hours are: Monday 8-4 Tuesdays 2-9 Wednesdays 2-9 Thursdays 8-4 Fridays off Saturdays 8-4 Sundays off If watching your pet in your home I will be extra careful when letting them out. If a fenced yard, I will always make sure that the fence is secure and the animals cannot get out.

About: I have two years of vet tech experience with about any animal you can think of! I have intubated dogs, started IVs, done CPR, etc. I have been around animals since I was a little girl! Grew up taking care of pigs, horses, dogs, cats, and cows! I have a huge love for all animals, and have cared for all kinds and all ages! I am a student with a very flexible schedule and always around on the weekends! My animals have always been a priority in my life and yours animals would be too! I have all online classes so I spend all day at home. I will always do my best to keep your dog in its natural environment, whether that’s sleeping in a crate or on the bed! Whatever the owners preference is!

About: Hello! I am a 28-year-old animal lover on Chicago’s East side. My solo-living lifestyle isn’t best suited for a pup of my own, so I’d love to help you care for yours! I am extremely responsible and the most loving toward all furry family members. I make fast friends with pretty much every one I meet :) I believe that exercise is essential for both dogs and cats to thrive, so I’ll take your pup out on extra long walks and run around with the feather toy with your cats for as long as they’ll let me! I also have several years of experience with caring for family dogs with medicinal and special health needs. I’m so excited to meet you and your sweet furry family members! I have a flexible full-time work schedule, so with notice, I can assist with walks during the work day. On weekends when I am in Chicago, I can be available for walking or visiting day or night! I live in a high-rise, so it’s not best suited for caring for pets in my home. But in the right circumstance, I’m happy to watch your pets in your home during vacations or overnight trips. Just let me know what your situation is and we can figure out the best option for you!

“Heather was awesome!!!”
