Pet Sitting Garfield Ridge

“Guillermina was great with my cats. She was able to visit everyday to feed, play and administer supplements. I recommend her for your visits.”

About: What sets me apart is my 10+ years of experience caring for dogs and the genuine love and attention I give to every pet. I have a dog of my own named Lucy, a Beagle/Boston Terrier mix, and my siblings and I share the responsibility of feeding her, taking her on walks, keeping her active, and giving her plenty of love and affection. In the past when Lucy has been sick, I was responsible for taking her to the vet and giving her medication. I have also cared for several of my friends dogs while they are at work, including taking them on walks, feeding them, checking in on them, and spending quality time with them. I have experience being around both puppies and adult dogs and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I am reliable, patient, responsible, and committed to making sure every pet in my care is safe, comfortable, and well looked after. I will follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated so you can feel confident that your fur baby is in good hands while you're away. I am currently a part-time elementary school substitute teacher, so my schedule can vary from week to week. I typically receive my substitute assignments 1–2 weeks in advance, which allows me to plan ahead and know which days I will be available. On days when I am not substituting, I would love to dedicate my time to caring for your pets. I am generally available Monday through Friday from as early as 6 AM to 7 PM, depending on my school schedule. I’m hoping to make pet care a fun and rewarding side job while providing reliable, loving care for your furry family members. When caring for a pet in their home, I make sure to follow their normal routine and the instructions provided by their owner. I will make sure they have fresh food and water, take them for their scheduled walks or potty breaks, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I will also make sure their environment is safe and clean before I leave. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, habits, and specific needs. If they need medication or have any special instructions, I will carefully follow the owner's directions. I will also send updates and photos during my visit so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and being well cared for while you're away.

“Gaby was great, as always!”

About: I’ve worked with young kids and dogs for years. I babysit and petsit in people’s homes and I have trained my seven year old dog. I also have experience with cats and giving them space while letting them warm up to me. On weekdays I work full-time until 4pm and then I’m all free to play with your pets or feed them. Weekends I’m free all day to properly care for your pets. I have a fenced grass front yard and a 7 year old mini schnauzer if your pet is okay with socializing, but not necessary for house sitting or walking.

“Angelina was wonderful! She provided a great deal of interaction and care and I came home after 2 weeks to a very content kitty. Will definitely use again!”

About: I've spent a few years pet-sitting for family members and friends with many dogs and some cats. I can do feedings, walks, play-time, baths, or whatever is needed. I can also administer medication in liquid form , tablets, or topical ointments. I am currently volunteering/fostering at a cat shelter! I've lived with dogs and I also have my own 2-year-old cat that is living her best life. I am currently a graduate student with classes once per week, clinic twice per week, and a part-time job. I am otherwise available: Saturdays/Sundays any time Mondays and Tuesdays after 6pm Thursdays before 11am and after 4pm Fridays before 4pm I will always respect an animal's boundaries and adjust to their personality. I like giving them their space and letting them control the situation. I can provide minimal care if needed, such as feeding or basic check-ins, or I can go beyond that and also provide walks, play time, baths, etc. I will do whatever is best for you and your pet! :)

About: I have raised 2 dogs since puppies until older age. I have experience with older dogs and puppies. Love them all. I have no pets at the moment so any pet I care for will receive lots of love. Love all pets I can provide care in the morning and afternoon. I am available for many services. I can walk pets, play with them, feed them, take them out, cuddle them, and give them love. I can also stay in your house or apartment with your pet. I give pets lots of love and attention. I can give pets lots of love, cuddle with them and give them treats, practice commands, or also just give them space and take them out for walks. I love dogs, I also like cats. Any pets are a joy

About: I’ve owned dogs since I was 6 years old. My parents taught me responsibility with all the dogs I grew up with. I currently own the grand daughter of my first dog ever. Bella is a poodle and I treat her as my daughter. I also have taken care of my boyfriend’s dog and am well aware of concerning behavior or any warnings that the dogs are ill. I work full time but get off at 5pm. I have free time after 5:30pm and have open availability on Saturdays for any needs :). At my home, I have a fenced backyard as I too have my own dog Bella. I always make sure there’s no food or anything that may catch their attention. When really hot out I make sure my dog goes potty and we get her inside. If I go to your home I follow your rules and will do as you wish.

“Rosario has been amazing with our pets! Above and beyond expectations!! Thank you!!!”

About: I have always been an animal lover and grew up with horses, dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with all kinds of animals and their needs. I have 1 small dog named Ben that I’ve had for 10 years so I understand the care that’s needed every day from walks to attention. I work a full time but flexible job that allows me to take breaks throughout the day for walks/care as needed and am predominately home but do leave for a few hours on some weekdays. I own my own house in Riverside with a big fenced in backyard. We keep everything put away and organized so there are no worries of curious noses getting in to anything

About: Had many pups in my life, I've said my goodbyes, however I still give back by taking care of yours. I know they mean lots and I know each and every one of them has a unique personality which I tend to. I am very adaptable to your pups needs and will understand them to the best of my ability to make sure they enjoy my company while you are gone 😁. Unless I am booked, I am available all 24 hours of the day. Always have the peace of mind that your pup is being cared for no matter the day or the time. I have 2 fenced-in yards, have most pet necessities in home, neighbors/house residents are very dog friendly. Very safe trustworthy environment for your pup to ensure your peace of mind for their boarding.

“Patrick is very reliable responsible and kind. He communicates I felt so comfortable with him as well as my babies. They loved him. Will definitely rebook when needed. Highly recommend Patrick!”

About: I run a dog walking and training business in Chicago, and pet care is at the center of everything I do. I hold a search and rescue dog training certification, which means I bring real behavioral know-how to every walk: reading body language, managing leash reactivity, and helping anxious dogs feel safe in new environments. Whether it's a high-energy pup needing a solid outlet or a senior dog needing a gentler pace, I tailor every visit to what your dog actually needs. I'm background-checked and bonded and insured up to $1M, so you can trust your pup is in steady, capable hands. Pet care isn't a side gig for me, it's my business, so dog walks and visits are built into the core of my week rather than squeezed in around something else. I keep a flexible daily schedule that lets me offer consistent walk times your dog can count on, plus room for same-week bookings when plans change. Mornings and early afternoons tend to be my most open windows, and I'm always happy to work with you to find a recurring time that fits your routine. Safety comes first on every walk. I'm background-checked, and bonded and insured up to $1M, so you can feel confident handing over your leash. Before a first walk, I always do a meet and greet to get a feel for your dog's temperament, energy level, and any triggers, so I can adjust my approach accordingly, with secure leash handling and close attention to signs of stress or fatigue. In your home, I treat your space with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, keeping doors and gates secure and leaving everything exactly as I found it.

“We booked with Estefanía for her to visit our dog three times a day during our week-long trip. She was always super professional- quick responses when I texted her any last-minute requests or instructions. She also brought in our trash bins and kept our plants alive:) Bruno was happy when we got home, but definitely no stress when we were away!”

About: Growing up my family always had multiple pets at once. All the way from different aquariums, to guinea pigs, cats and dogs. I’ve been a proud dog mom to my son bandit for 12 years, i’m 23 now. In my late teens I worked at a pet store for about two years, during that time I accumulated vast knowledge of different types of animal friends. My whole life has been filled of all different types of pet care ! Recently, in July, I moved here from Florida. I’ve been a licensed barber there for two years, and I’m currently in the process of transferring my license to Illinois, which will take a long time. So I currently have open availability. I plan to provide pet care in my clients’ homes, so I can keep their pets comfy in their familiar environment. In doing so, I will make sure to follow their normal feeding, walking, potty, and play routines as closely as possible. I will also make sure they receive plenty of care and supervision just as i would want for my own.

“Ruari was very attentive, kind, and passionate about caring for our kitties. We loved receiving pics from her and knowing that our girls were having a good time. Always fed and scooped litter in a timely manner and sent very cute pics of them playing.”

About: I am trained as a Certified Veterinary Technician that has given me the skills and knowledge to provide safe, attentive care. I’m better equipped to recognize potential health concerns, handle unexpected situations, and know when a pet may need veterinary attention. I truly love caring for animals and meeting new pets, taking the time to learn their unique personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I currently work part-time at a veterinary clinic four days a week. Your pet must be okay with being alone during normal work hours, but otherwise I can provide plenty of companionship, care, and attention. I do not offer boarding in my home, but I am happy to provide house sitting in your home. I will treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own, leaving everything just as I found it.
