House Sitting in Gurnee

“Faith did a great job taking care of my two babies while I was in the city for a day. She shared updates, photos, and asked questions to ensure she was providing the best care.”

“Tanya was the best. She stayed at our house watched our pets and house for a week. We have a dog with severe mobility issues, an 18 year old cat and 2 younger cats — all with unique needs and 2 that require meds. She was so wonderful with our fur family and home. HIGHLY recommend her services to anyone who cares about their pets being well taken care of and loved. She also dealt with packages and cleaning people and day to day household responsibilities with ease. She sent us pictures and kept us updated daily. Thank you!!!”

“Trina is such a lifesaver. We had a dog sitter lined up who had to bail on us about 12 hrs before we were supposed to leave on our first ever Disney vacation. She responded to my message immediately, was available on short notice and honestly spoiled the heck out of my dog! My dog is a senior citizen and takes 2-4 meds a day. She made sure he got all his meds, followed an intricate feeding schedule, and loved him as her own. She checked in with me daily to assure us he was doing well. She also helped feed our fish and turtle. What a lifesaver! We returned to happy animals and a very clean house. We will definitely be using Trina for all our vacations from here on out!”

“We’re so excited to have found Kat. She went above and beyond to make sure the fur babies were taken care of. We appreciate the consistent updates and never felt like we had to worry because she kept us in the loop! She’s 10/10 and will be rebooking again!”

“Sydney watched our 14-year old cockapoo for 5 days while we were on vacation. We met prior to the trip and we went through his specialized feeding schedules. She is very friendly, punctual and Clifford (the dog) liked her. She was willing to stay overnight and house-sit as well as making sure Clifford was taken care of. I will be using her services again if she is available. I felt very comfortable leaving Clifford in her care.”

“Beth was wonderful. She is so sweet with my little cat and figured out right away how she likes to be pet. I really appreciated her sending pics and letting me know everything was ok. She went above and beyond in her care while I was gone and she is always very punctual and responsible. I’m very glad to have found Beth!!”

About: Hi, I’m Christine! I’ve been a devoted pet parent for over 30 years, and my love for animals is truly at the heart of everything I do. From playful pups to curious cats and every animal in between, I believe each furry (or feathery!) friend deserves love, care, and a whole lot of fun. I currently have an 8 year old Plott Hound who is recovering from her second TPLO surgery. I spend devoted time with her every day completing her physical therapy exercises and doing all I can to optimize her recovery and golden years ahead. She has been a major part of my life and we have had lots of adventures together! She has road-tripped with me to 21 different states and lived for 6 years in the high desert mountains of AZ. I pride myself on being patient, flexible, and truly attentive to every animal’s individual needs. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a playful adventure, I can’t wait to be a part of your pet’s journey! I am a certified wellness instructor and make my own client schedule- so- I have lots of flexibility and can work with most client’s individual needs. I am flexible and adaptive to each individual pet’s needs and environment. I love walking and am happy to give extra time to take in the sniffs- or enjoy a snuggle!

“Elizabeth was extremely professional, followed instruction, and took great care of my fur babies! I appreciated her consistent updates and I never worried during this sit so I will absolutely book again!”

“If you are looking for someone to stay in your home and give lots of love and care for your pet, Jillian is just wonderful and I would highly recommend!! What was unique about Jillian is that she stayed in our home the entire time. She followed all of my instructions, provided daily updates and pictures and when she left, she washed the linens and the home was clean and tidy. She may not be able to provide the fast, active walk with your pet, but she is fully capable to walk and play with your pet. I ended up booking another dog walker separately for a more active walk. This arrangement worked perfectly for me and worth the additional cost, as I would rather have my dog be with a loving sitter in my home where my dog was not left alone than having more dog walks. I will definitely be booking Jillian again! She was a joy to work with and I know she made my dog feel safe and loved. Thank you.”

“Elizabeth did a great job watching my two little cats! She’s friendly and attentive and left my place tidy. I felt like my cats got plenty of love while I was gone, which was comforting to me, and she sent me plenty of updates!”

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs almost my whole life! My personal pet care background is incredibly diverse. I currently manage a lively three-cat household with my sweet cuddle bug Lillie, and my sister’s rambunctious and silly littermate brothers, Scout and Sawyer. I am also the proud owner of a childhood calico named Luna, and a Shepherd/golden mix, Osa. Because Osa is a high-energy, reactive dog, I learned a lot from her and personally worked on training her. Additionally, I have experience with senior pets. I lovingly cared for my late childhood dog, Sisi, which included managing her daily medications. I have also administered short-term medications to cats. I specialize exclusively in house sitting at your home, drop-in visits, and neighborhood dog walks. I look forward to giving your pets the absolute best care! :) My schedule is very flexible this summer, which makes it easy to stick to whatever daily routine your pets are used to. Whether they need a mid-day drop-in visit, a walk, or someone to stay overnight to keep them company, I can easily accommodate their regular timing. Since I will be caring for your pets in your home, my main priority is keeping their environment safe and consistent. I am highly attentive to details like securing doors and gates, keeping dogs properly leashed during walks, and following your specific household instructions. I always send regular photo updates and check-ins so you have full peace of mind while you are away.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats previously. One little chihuahua back and a cat back when I lived with my parents and recently took care of a big dog back in Washington as well as another cat on my own recently. I'm good with animals, understand when they need to be fed and how much attention they need to keep them happy. I keep a clean apartment and have good space for them to move around. I prefer to be called in advance but am willing to take pets on the same day. If they are dropped during weekdays, I get off at 4pm usually. I like to give a consistent schedule for feeding. I give many walks for any dogs I'm watching. I have two towers for cats. There's a lot of room in the apartment complex to walk dogs and a park close by. I have two cats, so I would prefer to take care of dogs/cats that are known to get along with others.

“Excellent sitter! The dogs loved her and she is very conscientious and reliable! Totally cares about your pets lm! I feel totally comfortable having her stay in my home! She stayed several days while I was out of town for a few days.”

“Alex worked with our one dog who was nervous around him at first. He spent a lot of time at our house with our two dogs while we were on vacation. When we came back our dogs were tired and happy.”

“Let me start by saying, we have never left Jeff with anyone but family. But because of unforeseen circumstances, Lindsey became his first caregiver, and I cannot speak highly enough about her and the experience we had with Rover. Jeff is a spunky, 14-year-old, spoiled, fussy, Yorkshire Terrier. Jeff was born in our home; we had both his mother and Father. He has never been alone (without us) since their passing. We planned a family vacation to Hawaii over a year ago and at the last minute our plans fell through with my Neice, and she could not watch him. We were ready to cancel. I had heard of ROVER and decided to look into their services. After going through a lot of candidates to choose from, I found Lindsey. She set up a meet and greet and we all met in our home. Lindsey and Jeff instantly became friends, and I started to feel a little better. We all even took a walk in the neighborhood with Jeff so I could see how he would react to her. Two days before we were set to leave, Lindsey reached out to see how we were doing and reassured us that Jeff would be in good hands. She communicated through the entire process and whole time we were away. She was prompt and so friendly and really knew how to make Jeff feel at ease. Throughout the vacation (11 days), she sent updates, pictures and let us know that he was behaving, eating, drinking, and successful on all his walks. She took pictures and sent them to us EVERY DAY. I can't tell you how relived we were that Jeff was in her care. We had a wonderful trip to Hawaii because we honestly felt Jeff was in the best hands and in his own home with all his familiar surroundings. We can now look forward to more family vacations with our Grandchildren knowing that Lindsey is here to take care of Jeff. Thank you so much, Lindsey... you helped put our mind at ease and took care of our little pup better than we could have imagined. If you are reading this review, and have anxiety about leaving your pup, I urge you to contact Lindsey so she can show you how truly amazing she is! Aloha!”

About: I have over 20 years of caring for animals of all kinds. I am very personal, caring, and will treat your animal with the love they deserve. I have a full time job Monday-Friday. I can walk your dog in the morning and play with them until I leave for work. After work we can play and enjoy what new outside adventures have in store! I have the ability to come to your home if that’s your preference. I am very schedule friendly. I have a big common area and a large park with a dog area. I’m close to a walking path or can just stay in home and play. I am very responsible and have over 20 years of experience. I have two daughters 11,8 that could help as well. They love animals.

“Maya did an outstanding job for us. She accepted a last minute request, which included a 6-day stay at our home while we were out of town on vacation. She connected very well with our 72 pound medium Bernedoodle, giving him lots of attention and care. Everything went smoothly and she remained focused and supportive to the end, even when our return flight was delayed by 3 hours. Thanks again Maya.”

About: Growing up, I had a couple dogs. Along with family and friends always having dogs around, I have always taken care of dogs. I love to walk them, bathe them, and play! I would take care of your fur baby like my own! I have a flexible schedule and work independently so I have plenty of flexibility for you and your baby!❤️ What works for your schedule will most likely work for mine. I look forward to spend time with and take care of your baby and I will enjoy every second! You can trust me with your pet like it’s my own! I am an honest human being with a heart full of love and compassion. I would love to take your fur baby to the park to play and have fun, as well as a jog/walk of course, and I wouldn’t mind giving your baby a bath if need be! Perhaps a trip to the pet store to spoil?! Don’t worry cats will love me too! I know just the spot they love scratched and will offer plenty of playtime.

“Great sitter! She kept us updated on our pets while we were out. She took great care of our puppy and cat. We will definitely have her pet sit for us again!”

Angelica R.

“Sarah is a top notch dog sitter. She will leave your house looking clean and send you daily updates and pics. She will allow you to enjoy your vacation while you are away from the dogs. She is a very kind person and I knew I could trust the house and dogs with her.”
