Dog Sitting Glencoe

“My cat loved Gail. I have had a few sitters, but Mars bonded with her. He was happier than after any other vacation. I plan on asking her to come back in October.”

Robert H.

“Anna was great with my cat! She spent extra time with her to get more playtime in. She was very respectful of my place and did everything I asked. Will definitely have her back!”

Anna M.

“Melisa always goes the extra mile. She cared for our two elderly Chihuahuas for a long weekend. Handled meds, feedings and cleanup like a star.”

About: I love animals. Growing up with pets of all kinds I learned to appreciate them and recognize their needs. I know the importance of bonding with them and find great joy in forming that bond. I did domestic care for four years and my primary job was tending to the animals. I am trustworthy and caring and I will put the needs of your pet first. Every time. I have made pet care my priority. I presently work full time in pet car. I also love pet photography and offer that as a service I am available on a drop-in basis and I can make myself available for overnights and extended stays as well. Whatever you need, don't hesitate to ask. I have cleared my schedule to make myself available to tend to dogs and cats full-time. I will walk your dog or simply hang out with your pet, whichever you need. I will build a trust with you, and your pet will know. I look forward to meeting you. I am very conscientious and responsible. I lost my own dog of 14 years and this has opened the door for me to be able to tend to your dog or cat. I can only offer the same loving care that I showed my own dog.

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was young, starting with my neighbor's Old English Sheepdog. Today, I'm the go-to sitter my sister relies on to care for her little fluffball, whether it's for an evening away or extended vacations. I'm comfortable providing consistent, attentive care for every pet -- and following your every instruction to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you're away. I currently work a flexible, non-traditional schedule that includes fantasy illustration projects and teaching art classes. This gives me built-in gaps during the day that I'd love to fill with dog care, whether that means walks, playtime, or multi-day companionship. Your dog's routine and well-being are my top priorities. I make sure that your dog gets the best care possible and will follow all instructions to the letter: setting phone alarms to ensure potty breaks and meals happen right on time, monitoring treats so your dog is neither over- nor under-indulged, and sticking closely to established sleep schedules. I'm equally respectful of your home, taking care to leave it as clean and orderly (or better) than when I arrived.

“Responsible and great to work with as always!”

“Lisa took fantastic care of my boy Frank! She sent me photo and video updates as well as cleaned up any food/litter spillage Frank created. She responded very quickly and I will definitely book her again!”

About: I have experience with walking and feeding your dog in a caring manner. Having a local partner to help you when needed, I am dependable and can be available on short notice. I am recently retired and am available for all your pet needs, including taking your pet to the vet and park if requested. Helping others is my passion. Pets are our companions in our lives, understanding that their needs and the needs of the owner are very important. You can count on me being there when needed

About: I’m a Northbrook mom of three with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, chickens, reptiles, and more. I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your animals, and I don’t take that lightly. I’m the person who shows up on time, follows your instructions, and treats your pets like part of my own family. I pay attention to the little things; routines, quirks, favorite toys - so your pet feels safe and understood while you’re away. My goal is simple: you come home to a happy, relaxed pet and feel completely confident booking me again. I’m home consistently throughout the day, which means I can offer dependable check‑ins, walks, and drop‑ins without rushing or squeezing your pet into a packed schedule. I build my day around predictable routines, so your pet gets care that’s calm, consistent, and on time. In your home, I treat your space with the same respect I give my own. I lock up carefully and keep things tidy. My goal is simple: you should feel completely at ease knowing your pet is safe, understood, and genuinely cared for.

“Julie was wonderful! Incredibly attentive, communicative, and took such good care of George.”

About: I've always loved caring for dogs and enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, from tiny breeds and small dogs to large breeds, including pit bulls, as well as energetic puppies. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I'm happy to provide the care they need. I've provided overnight house sitting for families, cared for pets in their own homes to help keep their routines consistent, and offered drop-in visits and dog walking. I'm comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I understand that every dog has unique needs and deserves patient, individualized care. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I'll always treat your home with respect and your dog like they're part of my own family. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages while you're away, giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention I am a full-time kindergarten teacher, and caring for others is a big part of who I am. My job has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of creating a safe and loving environment — qualities I bring into caring for pets as well. Outside of school, I have time for early morning walks, check-ins, evening visits, and overnight stays. I truly enjoy spending my free time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to follow each pet’s routine and give them the attention, exercise, and love they need. I treat every pet like they are my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I make sure to follow their normal routines, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from puppies and small dogs to larger breeds, including pit bulls. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve cared for dogs since our family fostered a neighbor’s pup when I was 8 years old. Since then, in my multi-dog household, I have successfully cared for, trained, and housebroken puppies as well as cared for senior dogs. I have extensive experience training and handling reactive and anxious dogs (medium & large breeds), including handling multiple at the same time. I’ve been relied on my neighbors, family, and friends to care for their beloved dogs and cats for many years. I am a warm and compassionate experienced pet owner who is used to caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I currently do not work a 9-5 job, so I have lots of flexibility and time to spend caring for pets. I am available for dog walking as well as house sitting and pop-in playtime. ** Though I cannot board a pet in my own home, I am more than happy to spend lots of time with your pet to keep them company as well as playtime with my two dogs to keep them company if desired. I can provide a regular walk schedule on weekdays and weekends. I am available to house sit to keep your dog’s schedule and environment as consistent as needed. **

“Caroline always goes above and beyond! Even when they got injured the week of their stay, they managed to fulfill their duties to our pets and send pictures and updates. Thank you, Caroline!”

About: Both of my parents are veterinarians, so I’ve grown up around animals all my life! I have basic animal care skills (walks, feeding, playing) and the extra ones too (animal body language, toxic vs nontoxic foods/materials, giving medication)! I have two cats myself, and have taken care of family and friends’ dogs for years. I’m currently working part time and have a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to play with and visit your pets! I prioritize safety for your pet! I understand that I will be someone unfamiliar coming to the home, and will make sure to let your pet lead the way in our interactions.

About: Growing up I have always had 3 cats at home and have pet sitted for a little over 5 years! My clients have had a mix of dogs and cats so I have experience with both! I can do drop-in visits in the mornings and evenings to feed them, walk them, etc. But the time frame can vary depending on the pets needs and my work schedule I feed them, play with them, walk them, and change the litter boxes (cats). If any more care is required you can text me if needed!

“Diana was wonderful with our two playful kitties over the holidays! She was always on time, was very communicative, and had great attention to detail. Most of all, I can tell she really cares for animals. I highly recommend her and would love to have her watch our kitties anytime!”

“Our super shy cat just adored Tasha. Tasha is a great communicator and caring pet-sitter. She followed instructions to a T. I highly recommend using her services.”

About: We've had dogs and cats in our family for years and miss hearing the patter of paws! We treat our pets well and enjoy playtimes and grooming dogs. Either my son or I are home to be with your pet. I work part time and my son is here when I work. He is working on his master's in business and loves to walk and play with the dogs. We do not have any pets of our own at present. This is a pet friendly home and yard on a quiet cul de sac. We dog sit other family members pets at time. Dogs are welcome in most rooms of the house.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I would care for my neighbors animals when they were out of town. I’ve always loved dogs and have a 7 yr old Labradoodle, Max, that I rescued when he was a four month old puppy. He had escaped from his original owners and was missing for two days. When the police found him, he had been run over by a car. They couldn’t save his leg so he’s a tripod. He doesn’t even know he’s missing a leg. Max loves walks, water, and playing with his best doodle friend, Molly. I also have a lot of experience administering insulin shots for dogs. I would love to care for your fur babies the way I care for mine. I am semi retired and my time is very flexible. I’m available for daily walks or pet sitting. I’ll care for your fur baby exact same way I care for mine. My dog Max is living his best life with me. He receives lots of love, walks, snuggles, and playtime. I would give your dogs the same care and affection.

“Grace was wonderful and Ruby had a great time!”
