House Sitting in Harvard

“Michelle was polite, courteous and professional. Overall, she did the best she could with my youngest rescue being timid to the point of going inside the house for the three days I was travelling. Not her fault and I would like to continue for future trips in hopes of her acclimating to my shy, timid boy.”

“We felt our baby was very happy and taken care of during our vacation. We had daily conversations with pictures to make us feel comfortable knowing that he was in good hands.”

“Lisa took great care of our doggie while we were gone. We found our home just as we had left it. I highly recommend Lisa if you need a dog sitter!”

“Jennifer was great! We have 3 dogs and a kitten, she stayed with them while we were at a destination wedding. I received pictures and updates. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog/kitten sitter.”

About: I'm an experienced and passionate dog lover who wants to spoil your dogs! I have more than 30 years of experience in training, caring for, and owning dogs of all breeds and sizes, from puppyhood until the rainbow bridge. I love and care for all dogs from the smallest Chihuahua to the largest Great Dane and everything in between. I'm able to assist with training and administer any medication or other special needs your pet has. I've trained puppies and rescues, and cared for senior and special needs dogs, so you can be sure your furry babies will be in good hands no matter what. I work second-shift, so I’m free all morning and afternoon to exercises and cuddle with your fur babies. I'm flexible with my schedule and can accept bookings most days of the week with little notice. Your best friends will be safe and loved in my care. After greeting your fur baby with some kisses and treats, I visually assess your pet’s health and demeanor upon each visit, letting you know of anything out of the ordinary. I inspect all homes upon arrival for any accidents and promptly clean them if needed. I walk dogs on a leash at all times when not in a fully fenced space, unless the pet parent prefers differently. I love to play both indoors and out- whatever makes your pet happy! All water and food bowls are refilled before leaving depending on the pet owner’s preference and pet’s feeding schedule.

“Oreo truly appreciated Jenny's company. She was friendly and treated her well.”

“Brandi was awesome watching my pups/house while I was away! She was easy to communicate with & left my place clean. She's very sweet & you can tell she loves animals; will definitely use her in the future.”

“Probably the best sitter we ever had on rover. I can’t say enough for what Brynna did- she was amazing with our pups and kept in touch all the time. We went away on a cruise and my husband forgot his birth certificate and Brynna was home with our fur babies and was able to find it while we were in Florida and take a picture for us and send it to me via text. I mean she is the best!!! She kept the house spotless, she followed all directions with meds, loved and snuggled all our pets and did everything amazing. She is worth every penny and more. She is so easy to talk too and she is such a sweetheart! Highly recommend”

About: Hello! I am a 28-year-old animal lover on Chicago’s East side. My solo-living lifestyle isn’t best suited for a pup of my own, so I’d love to help you care for yours! I am extremely responsible and the most loving toward all furry family members. I make fast friends with pretty much every one I meet :) I believe that exercise is essential for both dogs and cats to thrive, so I’ll take your pup out on extra long walks and run around with the feather toy with your cats for as long as they’ll let me! I also have several years of experience with caring for family dogs with medicinal and special health needs. I’m so excited to meet you and your sweet furry family members! I have a flexible full-time work schedule, so with notice, I can assist with walks during the work day. On weekends when I am in Chicago, I can be available for walking or visiting day or night! I live in a high-rise, so it’s not best suited for caring for pets in my home. But in the right circumstance, I’m happy to watch your pets in your home during vacations or overnight trips. Just let me know what your situation is and we can figure out the best option for you!

About: I’ve worked in kennels since I was 14, and I started training dogs 3 years ago. Also Ive fostered, and have 7 dogs of my own. I have plenty of time in the day, just ask about my schedule and I’ll get back to you ASAP! I’m very flexible on times as well! I currently am in EMT classes so my availability varies! Right now I will be unavailable Mon, Wed, Fri 8am-12pm. I have worked will all sizes and kinds of dogs, if they need to be walked, let out, kenneled, anything works for me! What ever your dog needs I can do.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have experience with puppy birth, dog training (german Shepherds, bijon Frise, Mutts, Labs, etc.), senior dogs, puppies (I have one myself), and medicating pups! I've also had cats my entire life and have experience with the birth of kittens, senior cats, and administering medication. I currently work Monday/Tuesday and Thursday/Friday in office. However, I live where my offices are located so I regularly come home to let my pup out and make sure all is well. Weekends and Wednesdays are open and I am home and have all of the time to play with the pups and take them to the park if given permission! I have a fenced in yard for the dog to play. I also am able to take pups out for long walk, play with them in the yerd, take them to the dog park. I am pretty open and available to whatever the dog owner is requesting for their pup!

“Emily took great care of our pets and home while we were away! We came back after our trip to a clean house and happy pups and kitties. She is very responsive to messages and sent updates of the pets. I would absolutely hire her again!”

About: I live on a small farm in Harvard we have horses , 2 dogs , 1 cat and a flock of chickens . I’m comfortable with all animals !!

My dogs are always supervised when outside exploring our 15 acres . They love outside time !!! They also of course enjoy their couch time .

“Michelle filled-in last-minute when our booked sitter from Rover was unable to fulfill the booking. She was fabulous! She came in advance to meet our pups and to get acquainted, She was flexible with her schedule to accommodate us. Her husband even helped out to backfill for times Michelle had to work (because this was last-minute). She took great care of our pups: feeding, walking, sitting. She sent us pictures and notes daily to let us know how they were doing, and even stripped the bed and ran the dishwasher before she left! We highly recommend her.”

About: I've been caring for all kinds of pets since I was very young and love being able to help those who want to give their fur-babies the world, but find their schedule a bit too tight. I love practicing training, and always make sure to talk to them like they're humans (I swear we have whole conversations). I have an SUV if your animal might need transportation and always put your animals safety above all else. I am an online content creator looking to make a bit of extra cash over the summer which means that I am available almost all the time! I do not have any pets of my own because I travel frequently for said content creation, but that allows me to be able to give all my love to your animals. I adhere strictly to the routine that your animals are familiar with. Change can stress many pets, so I like to keep things as normal as possible for them at home based on their needs. I like to ask for a background on your animal and what they are used to before arriving for a sitting or walking booking.

“Hannah is wonderful! We felt super comfortable with her at our meet & greet. And it’s safe to say our dogs & cat felt the same way. She took great care of our doggos, had great communication & sent us the perfect amount of pictures. Very respectful of our home as well! We will be 100% having her dog/house sit for us again. :)”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. I grew up with dogs and now enjoy my own dog and watching my kiddos create their own memories with our dog Jack. We enjoy the outdoors and go on a lot of walks and hikes with Jack. I am a teacher looking for a side hustle after 3pm on weekdays and full availability on weekends. I live in Lake Geneva and work in Elkhorn, so I am available there and surrounding areas within reason. I have two dog loving, energetic kids ages 8 and 11, a husband and a rescue pup named Jack. We all do well with dogs! ;) We live in a quiet, safe neighborhood with plenty of places to walk. We also have a nice yard to play in along with an endless supply of hugs and treats.

About: I’ve been experienced with a number of animals since childhood. Cats. Dogs. Birds. Lizards. Mice. Rats. Gerbils. Hamsters. Even Insects! I love all kinds and want to work with you in taking care of your pets just like my own. Your pets will be safe, happy and well cared for, giving you peace of mind while you are at work or traveling! Currently my availability is open. Minus the holidays. Pet care is my every day. I have a few animals myself and I lover them like family. I have a home with cats. Love love cats so much. I grew up with dogs and birds amongst others as well. I am established with the care and needs of both. Whatever help you need I’ll be there. :)
