Top rated Glendale Heights pet sitters
“Dana took care of my tuxy and was an amazing cat-sitter! She sent me many photos and even videos of my cat and always reassured me that he was happy and well-taken care of. The initial meeting with Dana was also great as she made sure she understood everything my cat needed to be taken care of while I was away. I would highly recommend Dana to any pet owner. Very attentive, caring, & responsible.”
“Rachel was wonderful- she went over to my office last minute (hours before) without meeting my pup previously and you can tell he had the BEST time!! They sent videos, cute pictures, and were running around with him. Could not ask for more. Would 100000% recommend and will be reaching out in the future. Thank you!!”
“Jennifer was punctual, communicative, thoughtful and thorough in her check in for our rescue Doberman, Maverick. He can be a handful, and she was clearly up to the task. We came home to a happy puppy!”
“Ashley was the first Rover sitter we used, and we are so happy with the service she provided. She gave us detailed notes about each visit. She sent pics of each cat every day, so I knew they were ok. She brought in the mail and took out the garbage. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Mariela did a fantastic job for the week I was gone. She would notify me when she arrived and provided me with updates. Would definitely recommend her to anyone and would re-use her again in the future.”
“Our dogs love Carly and so do we! She follows all of our instructions and makes sure our dogs have fun during their visit. She leaves our house clean and we come home to happy pups! We love her reports and the cute pictures she takes too!”
“Rachel is amazing! She takes great care of my dog and takes great pictures. It is way below freezing out and she still went out with my dog. She writes great messages. I will definitely use her again.”
“Wow!! I love Beth. She was fantastic and completely worth every penny (plus her well deserved tip). She always answered my messages, arrived on time, stayed the entire visit, used the app for every visit, provided multiple photos for every visit, and was so thorough. She followed all my directions and was the most professional, quality way sitter I've ever hired in KCMO. I pray that she continues to offer services in my area forever. My kids love her.”
“Victoria has been a reliable cat sitter, they obviously love her which is very reassuring when we have to leave town. She’s flexible with changes in plan which we really appreciate too”
“Janet was amazing! We had her drop in to visit our cat and she always sent very detailed overviews of how the visits went. We had never left him for an extended time before and I could tell our cat enjoyed her visits - she sent the best pictures! Janet was very professional, trustworthy and easy to work with; I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: We lost our cocker spaniel of 13 years about 2 years ago so I love to take care of dogs now that we don’t have a dog to pamper. We care for one dog at a time unless two dogs are siblings or good friends then that’s OK. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park nearby or just snuggle on the couch and chill with them. I realize how important your baby is to you and will give them love, companionship and special care. We love having a dog around. I’m retired and an empty nester so I am flexible and around all the time. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park and Glenbard West HS just down my street. We also like to sit on the front porch in the shade (gated) and watch the world go by. It’s a dead end street; so it’s very relaxed & chill. We are a few blocks from Main Street and town. We love hanging out in the back yard or the porch with our dog guests and take frequent walks.
