Pet Sitting in Hickory Hills

“My first vacation with my Kitty on her own at home. Brooke put my mind at ease, knowing someone was checking on my baby twice a day freshening her food, water and litter box. I received the perfect amount of texting and photos and Brooke was very receptive if I had questions. I will contact Brooke again to look after my Kitty the next time I travel.”

“This is the 1st time using Rover and I am so happy I did. I met Nicole who is experienced with larger dogs. I have 3 large retriever mixes. I received notification of when she arrived and left. Sent me pictures. Let me know how the visit went. Noticed 1 dog had a yeasty ear and cleaned it everyday, with my permission of course. My dogs looked wonderful when I got home and are their same happy selves. Nicole obviously took great care of them. I will be using Nicole the next time I need a sitter.”

Whitney K.

“She was fantastic!! You can tell she really cares about your pet. Would recommend to anyone, and will definitely re-book for next time. Thank you again!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities and truly treat every dog like my own. I’m especially comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, and those that need structure or boundaries—I’m currently raising a puppy myself, so I understand training, routines, and behavior firsthand. What sets me apart is the environment and attention I provide. I have plenty of space for dogs to safely explore, get their energy out, and decompress—without the chaos of a crowded kennel. I focus on structured care, including consistent feeding schedules, potty routines, supervised play, and calm downtime so your dog feels secure and balanced. I’m attentive, patient, and very in tune with behavior, whether that’s managing puppy nipping, reinforcing good habits, or helping dogs feel comfortable in a new environment. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. I work a consistent schedule and am able to provide reliable, attentive care every day. Dogs in my care are not left alone for long periods, and I make sure they get regular potty breaks, playtime, and structured routines throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks, with flexibility for weekends and extended stays. My goal is to keep your dog’s routine as close to home as possible so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured environment with plenty of space for supervised outdoor time and exercise. Because I have a large private property, dogs have room to explore while always being closely monitored. I am experienced with different temperaments, including puppies and high-energy dogs, and I focus on maintaining good behavior, routines, and boundaries during their stay. Dogs are never left unsupervised outside, and I can crate if requested or follow your dog’s normal home routine. I take time to understand each dog’s needs, personality, and preferences so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

“Alex was such a delight to work with and my guinea pigs loved her. She came by to meet them ahead of time and walk through their routine which helped me feel so much more comfortable using Rover for the first time! She took great care of my guinea pigs and sent some adorable updates along the way ❤️”

About: I’m Lawrence and I love dogs. Pet sitting is so rewarding! I also love that I have the freedom to work at home, while caring for animals. You’ll love that I’m able to spend the entire day with your dog so I can get to know their personality and individual needs. Customers remark say I have calming energy that animals feed off and creates a great environment for their care. I pay the utmost attention to the owner’s wishes and perspective as well as the dog themselves. I treat and respect every stay as a unique experience and hope to connect with you to create a respectful and symbiotic relationship. I live in a cozy home in Norwalk with Gabby. Our neighborhood is dog-friendly and perfect for walking. The streets are calm and you can rest assured your dog is in safe hands when walking around my neighborhood. We have a great park across the street from my house which, with your permission, I’d love to take your pup to. I have a range of experience with all sizes, breeds, and personalities of pups. I grew up with Shepherds and Labs but have spent time with many dogs. My fiancé Gabby will be there as well to provide extra cuddles. My clients have fallen in love with her natural ability and calmness. She’s a great partner and your pup will be lucky to have us both in their care. When I’m not spending time with pups (or when I am), I enjoy relaxing with Gabby, developing video games and skateboarding.

About: I have over 4 years of experience working in veterinary medicine, including emergency care, which has given me strong knowledge in recognizing medical concerns, handling high stress situations, and safely administering medications. I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs, including seniors and those requiring daily medications. In addition to my clinical experience, I’ve trained my own working line dog from 8 weeks old to adulthood, giving me hands on experience with puppy training, structure, and behavior management. I also currently have a young puppy, so I understand the patience and consistency needed for early training stages. This diverse background has made me confident handling animals of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. What sets me apart is my ability to combine professional veterinary knowledge with real world training experience, allowing me to provide safe, attentive, and reliable care for every pet. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I’m a full-time online student, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m able to be home throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins, and I can easily adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs. Whether a pet requires frequent potty breaks, structured routines, or just extra attention, I’m able to provide consistent and reliable care. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping pets on their normal schedule to reduce stress, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure to keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a structured but relaxed environment with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and exercise. I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and comfort at all times, and I adjust care depending on age, energy level, and any special needs. With my background in veterinary medicine, I’m also able to monitor for any changes in behavior or health and respond appropriately if concerns arise.

About: Have ran a small farm before. Many dogs and cats and goats chickens. Enjoy and find it peaceful to be around animals of all types I currently have Tuesday through Friday off and would like to make some extra money on my own schedule time Unavailable Saturday through Monday. As I work my full time job I can easily crate and walk your pet when needed and watch over it. When outside they will be on a lease and with me at all times

“Madison took excellent care of our older dog, Luna. She was so nice at the meet and greet and we really enjoyed her personality! She kept me updated and sent pictures. We will definitely be booking her for our next trip!”

“Alexandra dropped in to see my girls as a last minute request! She arrived when she said she would and spent some time with the dogs, took them for a quick potty break and reported back.”

Drew J.

“She was absolutely great and helped me out on relatively short notice when my normal sitter couldn’t make it. She sent lots of pictures and videos so I knew my boy was doing well! Highly recommend”

About: I have been around animals my whole life, loving them and caring for them. I started fostering dogs 7 years ago and love everyday. I enjoy being outdoors and walking mine and other dogs. I can teach some basic obedience skills about walking and behavior. You may even get some cute photographs of your dog while you're away :-) I enjoy going to different parks, and greenways or even going for a nice long hike! I currently work part time (in the morning) but have my afternoons open to dog walking! I have some weekends available as well to dog walk or drop in. If you don’t have a fenced yard your dog will always stay on leash. I always recommend microchipping pets & wearing collars with name tags to ensure safety.

“5 Stars- Colleen did a great job walking our fur babies!”

Judd P.

“Kelsey did a great job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. She was very responsive when we updated her with tips and last minute concerns with our cats. She updated us with pictures and made sure each of our cats was doing well while we were away. We will definitely be trusting Kelsey to care for our pets in the future.”

I grew up living with many different animals from dogs, cats, and birds, to horses and alpacas. I have a lab mix of my own. One of my favorites things is to cuddle and go to the dog park with her. I love going on walks, playing catch, tuggawar and everything that your dog loves. I am home all day so your pup will get a lot of attention. My dog gets along great with all dogs and loves to play and share her toys. If you’re dog loves other dogs and company this is the right place for them!

About: Hi! I’m Summer, a stay-at-home mom with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand that every dog is different, so I focus on providing personalized care that fits their needs and routine. My home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, with a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time. On warmer days, dogs can enjoy supervised play and even cool off in a doggy pool, which many pups love. Because I’m home most of the day, your dog will receive consistent attention, supervision, and care. Whether your dog is active or more laid-back, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and part of the family. I also provide regular photo and update check-ins so you can feel confident your dog is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I’d love to set up a meet and greet to see if we’re a good fit! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’m a stay-at-home mom and home most of the day. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I structure my day around maintaining a calm, predictable environment, so dogs can feel comfortable and settle in easily. Outdoor time, play, and rest are balanced based on each dog’s needs and energy level. Your pet will not be left alone for long periods and will be part of our daily routine. I provide a safe, calm, and supervised environment with a fully fenced-in yard for secure outdoor time. I follow each dog’s routine closely, monitor behavior, and prioritize a low-stress, structured setting. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority, and I provide regular updates for peace of mind.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 16. Friends, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and take care of their pets! I am currently a college student available Thursday evenings thru Sundays. I have plenty of free time on the weekends to play with your pets. I am open to housesitting or stopping in for visits. I am able to care for your pet by taking them on frequent walks, playing with them inside or out, and treating them as I would my own pet!
