Dog Sitting Glencoe

About: Ever since I was little, I knew I wanted dogs to be a big part of my life. I begged my parents for one, but instead they had me start dog sitting to prove I was responsible enough. After many dog sleepovers, we finally welcomed Kirby into our family for my 12th birthday! Caring for Kirby taught me that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel comfortable and loved. When I'm caring for your pet, I'll treat them like they're my own. I'll make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need, and I'll keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm working part time 2-3 nights per week, and have some weekend obligations. Other than that, pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I am committed to provide reliable care! I'll be paying close attention of surroundings to keep your dog safe! To assure peace of mind, I'll make it an intention to send updates after each adventure! And of course I will respect any route preferences :) When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I'll make sure they always have fresh water, exercise, and plenty of attention--my goal is to follow all care instructions as closely as possible. I also treat every client's home with the same respect I would my own. My goal is to provide a safe, stress-free experience for both you and your pet.

About: I love dogs and cats! I have worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility. I have two large-medium dogs and a cat in my family. I have dog sat many times for friends, family, and for those I was babysitting for. I’m currently not working since I am a college student on break! I have tons of free time and what better way to spend it than hanging out with dogs and cats! I am free everyday and at anytime! I accept last minute requests! I unfortunately cannot board your dog/cat at my home. At your home, I would carefully keep an eye on your pet, feed it, pet it, cuddle with it, let it out for potty breaks, and spend most of my day if not the whole day if needed with your pet!

“Denis and Nikki are great. They came over at the scheduled times and made sure both dogs where attended to. The updates they sent with pictures and water / food breaks .... and potty times were defiantly appreciated. I will ask them again to watch our dogs and recommend them highly.”

“Shailyn was amazing! She exceeded expectations in every way. From the get go she made it a priority to get to know me and my cat Pepper, ensuring that I felt safe leaving Pepper in her care. She was very accommodating and understanding. I would definitely recommend her to others.”

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors pets and my own for about 11 years now! I have worked with all type of dogs. From those who need meds to those who just need to hang out! I’m very flexible! From July 20th to August 7th I’ll be working a day camp from 9-3 but I am an early riser! The rest of the summer, and the weekends, I am completely free and at your disposal! At home I walk my dog, feed him, administer meds if need be and play with him! I’ve done the same for the other pets I’ve babysat for!

About: I have had two beautiful golden Retrievers and love dogs in general. My golden Wyatt passed away but I adore and love and miss him so much. Now with a new year one year old puppy who is HUGE , I absolutely want to meet more friends of fur. I work daily but have a flexible schedule and can attend animals during the workday as I make my own hours. I also can stay overnight on Friday through Sunday for overnight sitting. I care for pets making sure they have the essentials, food and water. That being said I love to spend time with them all always they are amazing and I love playing with animals and making them feel as human as possible.

About: Hi! I’ve been a lifelong animal lover, and I’ve had pets all my life — so I know how much pets mean to their families. My girlfriend introduced me to Rover, and since then, I’ve been all in. I currently walk up to 10 dogs a day and board around 2 dogs each month, and I truly enjoy every minute of it. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs long walks or a shy cat who just wants a quiet companion, I treat every pet like my own. I know how important trust is when it comes to pet care, and I always go the extra mile to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I’d love the chance to meet your pet and give them the care and attention they deserve! Pet care is a major part of my daily routine. I work in real estate, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of control over my time. This flexibility allows me to dedicate consistent blocks of time each day to walking dogs, doing drop-in visits, and boarding pets comfortably in my home. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and trust always come first. In my home, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I make sure there are no hazards within reach, keep any unfamiliar pets separated as needed, and provide plenty of space for relaxation, play, and personal time. I follow any routines or rules you provide so your pet feels comfortable and secure—just like they would at home. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I follow all instructions closely, keep your pet’s schedule consistent, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. I’m always attentive to their behavior, energy levels, and comfort to make sure they’re safe and happy throughout the visit. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, or quiet companionship, I’m committed to providing a trustworthy, low-stress experience for both you and your pet.

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.

“Anna took care of my two pups while I was out of town. They are 14 and 11, so it made us feel much more at east to know they were comfortable in their own home in Anna's care. She communicated with us regularly and sent photos of the pups enjoying their meals. Anna even took in packages for me and kept an eye on the house. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Scott was absolutely fantastic checking in on our 2 cats. He was extremely patient and ensured the more anxious of our 2 cats was okay and eating / drinking while we were gone. Thank you Scott!”

About: I have a flexible schedule and can easily fit cat care into my daily routine. I’m available for drop-in visits and can provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I’ll follow your cat’s routine and send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow all of your instructions, including feeding schedules, administering medications (if needed), and providing any special care your cat requires. I always make sure doors and windows are secure, keep the litter box clean, and provide a calm, stress-free environment. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to earn your trust, and I’ll care for your cat as if they were my own. I’m currently a freelancer, which gives me a flexible schedule. I usually prefer afternoon visits because my meetings are typically finished by then, but I’m happy to accommodate morning visits too. I just ask for at least 3 days’ notice for morning bookings so I can plan my schedule accordingly. Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During every visit, I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and administering medication if needed. I’ll make sure all doors and windows are secure before I leave and keep your home clean and tidy. As a cat owner myself, I understand that every cat has a unique personality, so I’ll respect their boundaries while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“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!”

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!

“Erin did a terrific job. Great communication. I would hire her again.”

“Because of Sarah’s kind demeanor and professionalism, my trip out of town was much more relaxing. I was a little nervous about my dogs and cat not knowing the person who was going to be taking care of them, but Sarah eased that worry by scheduling a meet a greet prior to my leaving town. She made the process so easy and my animals automatically knew she was a friend. Thank you so much Sarah!”

“Sydney took the best care of our cat Cooper and I could tell when we got home that he was given lots of attention! She was super thorough with all of her notes about her visits and took lots of great pictures for us to see our little guy while we were gone. Thanks for taking such good care of him!”

About: My daughter and I have been boarding dogs for 2 years and love it, we really focus on one families pet at a time so we give him/her our full love and attention. We will take up to 2 dogs at a time. We love to walk and play with the dogs. We have a large fully enclosed back yard in addition to a park at the end of our block we can walk dogs around a large walking path. I work from home so it can be a bit messy but its always clean if that makes sense. We text photos and funny videos of us with your pet. My daughter is saving to get her own dog in a few years and learning about various breeds and how much responsibility it is to have a pet. She is liking that she gets half of the funds we make doing this and it gives her a good financial perspective on earning money. We love these dogs as if they were our own. WE love taking care of pets, We love staying active walking and playing with the dogs. We will not take dogs if we do not have time for them. I Have an enclosed back yard that is perfect for active dogs to chase birds and have a bit of an area to run free. We do walk the dogs to our local park at the end of our block.

About: I love animals, I feel connected to them. Pets have been in my heart, life and home since I was 5 years old. I’ve walked dogs for friends, family and for elderly friends. Also, I substitute for my dog-sitter/walker friends on Rover when they aren’t available. I helped breed Yorkies at one point, and helped find them homes. I’ve fostered cats in the past and currently own one :) I am available during the day between 10am and 2pm, Monday through Friday. I work part time before and after that, but I will be as flexible as possible I do have a fenced yard. Also, I am a runner. I can walk or jog with your pup if you’d like the exercise for them.

About: I am a huge dog person! Growing up I’ve always had fur babies in my household. Additionally, I did Rover throughout college, taken care of friends and family member’s pups, volunteered at animal shelters and I now have a pup of my own! I love taking long walks and going to parks, which are located very close to my house. Would love the chance to take care of your fur babies in anyway needed! I am currently doing Rover full time so I am very available! Just let me know where/ when you may need me and I’ll make myself available! Safety and peace of mine is so important to me. Please let me know any concerns you may have an I will address them completely!

“Love Nicole! She is wonderful and patient as I have a very shy and skittish rescue. Most of the time she will just hide and bark at strangers but Nicole seems to have found the way to get her to settle down and feel trust. I appreciated her communication very much. She’s was very detailed about her visit. It made me feel so happy and at ease! Gemma will see her again, that’s for sure!”
