Pet Sitting Glencoe

“My cat is not very nice to anybody but me sadly but Zoe didn’t let that bother her. She did a wonderful job despite the challenges and we will use again without hesitation!”

“Jacky went above and beyond with our two dogs while we were gone for a week! One of our dogs got sick right before we left and she was so helpful giving his meds and watching out for his symptoms. I knew they were in great hands. Thanks again!”

About: Hi! I'm Livia, and animals have been my whole world for as long as I can remember. Over the years my husband and I have had our own four dogs, two bunnies, and two ducks (yes, really!), so "a little bit of everything" is genuinely our specialty. We don't have any pets of our own right now, which is actually one of the best things about your furry friend staying with us. Your pet gets the run of the house with no resident animals to negotiate with, which is a huge relief for shy, anxious, or reactive dogs/cats who just need room to decompress. And there's a LOT of room. Our entire downstairs is 2,000 square feet and completely open to our guests, with dog beds tucked into every room so they can pick their favorite spot. Outside is a full fenced-in acre yard: space to run, sniff, and roll around in the grass without ever needing a trip to the park. Best of all, at least one of us is home all day, every day. Your pet is never left alone and never crated (unless you'd prefer them to be crated). We're happy handling puppies still learning the rules, seniors who need a gentler pace, medications on a schedule, and nervous pets who need someone patient. And if anything ever were to come up, we're literally a two-minute drive from three different emergency vet clinics. We're looking forward to welcoming your pet! My husband and I both work from home, which is the whole reason we're able to do this so well. There's no window where the house is empty - someone is always here, in the same room (usually being used as a pillow by one of our guests!). That means your pet's routine gets to stay your pet's routine. Whatever their feeding schedule is, we'll keep it. Meds at 7am and 7pm? Done. A dog who needs a mid-afternoon nap in a quiet room, or one who wants to be outside every hour on the hour? Also fine. We're not working around a commute, so we can build the day around them instead of the other way around. You'll get a few photos and updates a day, so you can see exactly how they're settling in. And we always do a meet-and-greet before booking, so everyone (including your pet) knows who they're staying with before the first night. Our yard is a full fenced acre behind a 6-foot privacy fence, so there's serious room to run with no gaps to squeeze through. Inside, our whole downstairs (about 2,000 square feet) is open to our guests, with dog beds in every room so they can pick their preferred spot. Cats stay upstairs in their own quiet, private bedrooms with the doors closed, completely separate from any dogs. We don't have pets of our own, so nobody's defending their territory when your pet walks in. Every booking starts with a meet-and-greet, and if we're hosting more than one family at a time, new dogs meet slowly and on leash in the yard before they're ever loose together. If any pair isn't a match, they get separated. Someone is home 24/7, so your pet is never left alone. We're comfortable with medications, senior pets who need a gentler pace, and nervous ones who need time. And we're literally a two-minute drive from three emergency vet clinics if anything ever were to come up.

“I am extremely happy with Isabela and her care of our two cats. We were away for close to two weeks and I was initially nervous about being gone that long. But, she took great care of them and sent daily updates and photos. I would highly recommend her and would be happy to use her again.”

About: My family has had dogs since I was 5 years old - ranging from weimareners to toy poodles! I love pets and have extensive experience walking, feeding, bathing my own and friends/families pets. I am home for the summer from college and in the process of finding my first full time marketing role. Besides a few calls a day, I have time to care for your pet wether that means walking, feeding, bathing, or just watching them! I will not be housing dogs in my own home. I promise to keep your home clean and keep everything in its place when I am walking your dog!

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.

“Brittany did a great job taking care of my cat! She was always on time for her visits and provided detailed updates and pictures after every check-in, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was attentive, caring, and made sure my cat was well taken care of and got plenty of love and attention. I really appreciated her communication and reliability. I would definitely recommend Brittany to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

“I appreciate that Arianna spent the extra time to give our cat Finley the attention he craves when we’re away. She gave him a treat each day and spent time brushing him (his favorite). I also appreciated the photo updates. Thank you Arianna!”

“Absolutely recommend Rebeca! You can tell she really cares about dogs and loves what she does. My dog Snoopy has anxiety & is very shy at first but he felt at ease with her as soon as he met her during the meet and greet. She was so gentle, patient & sweet with him right away. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. I will def be booking with her again!”

“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!”

“Susan is amazing!! Our two cats were in excellent care while we were away and we are so thankful to Susan for giving us that peace of mind! We got the best daily reports and pictures on how they were doing which we looked forward to every day that we were away. One of our cats is particularly shy and even he grew very comfortable around Susan very quickly, we were so impressed! We will definitely be reaching out for pet sitting care again. Thank you so much for your excellent care of our little guys!!”

About: Hi! I’m Cornelia, a lifelong animal lover, dedicated cat mom, and experienced pet sitter! 🐾 My passion for animal care began long before I started offering professional pet-sitting services. I initially pursued veterinary sciences in college, and caring for animals has remained an important part of my life ever since. As the proud mom of my beloved cat, Nebula, I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’ve spent years caring for my own feline companions and have experience providing pet sitting, dog walking, and attentive in-home care for other families. I’m currently completing my bachelor’s degree online through Western Governors University, which allows me the flexibility to spend plenty of quality time with the animals in my care. Whether your pet enjoys interactive playtime, long walks, quiet companionship, or endless cuddles, I adapt my approach to their individual personality, needs, and routine. I also welcome extended house-sitting stays and holiday bookings! I understand that being away from your pets and home can be stressful, so I prioritize open communication, regular photo updates, and maintaining a safe, comfortable environment. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and genuinely passionate about animal welfare. My goal is simple: to make your pets feel loved, secure, and cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾 I’m currently completing my bachelor’s degree online through Western Governors University, which gives me a highly flexible schedule and allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the week! Because my coursework is completed remotely, I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as overnight and extended house-sitting stays. I especially enjoy spending quality time with pets who appreciate companionship throughout the day. I’m also available for holiday bookings and longer stays, and I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents to maintain their pets’ established routines. 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities! 🐾 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow their established feeding schedules, exercise routines, household guidelines, and any special care instructions. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I strive to maintain a calm, clean, and consistent environment. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, and energy levels, and I respect each animal’s individual personality and boundaries. I also take home security seriously, ensuring doors and windows are secured and your home is treated with care and respect. I provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family members are safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of attention!

About: I’ve taken care of and loved dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. From puppies/kittens to seniors and in between. And all sizes! I also have experience with special needs dogs, including my own collie who had lower jaw removal surgery. I’ve had 2 cats in this time from when they were young to seniors. I recently adopted 2 young cats who love people. For dogs, I’ve adopted dogs of all different ages with various health needs. I only occasionally go into the office and work from home Mon - Fri. I’m used to having multiple animals so I’m comfortable with whatever their schedule may need. I want to follow the routine you have created and anything else to make sure they feel comfortable in my home or yours. They will get lots of love and attention from me during our time together!

“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.”

About: I’m your friendly neighbor who has taken in strays overnight (6 and counting!) I’ve grown up with all sorts of dogs- Rottweilers, labs, mutts- you name it, I love them. I got my first job at 15 so I could save up for a dog & rescued an 8 year old Maltese who lived another 8 years with us. I cared for him when he was old and sick, and have also gotten a chance to train teething little puppies. Back in my hometown I used to dog sit a few times a month, but since moving to Chicago I miss my furry friends dearly! Having your dog’s company will be a win-win for both of us. We have a fenced in yard. I also have a weight limit of 40 lbs, but if your dog is bigger and doesn’t jump or pull, I’d love to watch them! (Don’t want any dogs jumping on my mother-in-law lol!) I work from home full-time M-F and fortunately I have the flexibility to take walks and breaks throughout the day! I don’t have any sort of rigid schedule which leaves me open to get into a routine with your pup. I will follow their routine as much as possible. If it’s not apparent from my photos, I allow dogs on the furniture (that’s how you get the best snuggles)!

“Jennifer was great! She did a great job watching over Koko. She would send us pictures and we were so glad to see Koko going right up to her. Would certainly recommend.”
