Dog Sitting in Highland Park

About: Back in my hometown for the summer from traveling. Caring and walking dogs for friends and family has felt second nature. Every dog gets my full attention, whether we're out on a walk or keeping them comfortable and calm at home. I love to share digital updates so you're never left wondering, just missing them a little less. I always welcome a meet and greet before your first booking so your pet feels comfortable and you feel confident! My schedule is flexible throughout the day which means I can work around what works best for you and your pet. I typically have availability in the mornings, midday and evenings and always give advance notice if anything changes. I treat every home with the same respect I'd want shown to my own. Your pet stays in their familiar environment which means less stress and more comfort. I stay attentive, keep disruptions minimal and if anything ever seems off you'll hear from me right away.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life, recently worked with animals as big as horses and cows, to chickens and ducks. Friends and family trust me with their animals! My schedule is currently free, weekdays and weekends and nights! I am willing to work holidays. I will also walk in any type of weather! I have a fenced in backyard, with 2 very friend dogs for yours to play with! I do have crates (if needed) and lots of treats!

About: I have had dogs all my life. I enjoy helping walk, groom and play with them so they can relax and nap by the fireplace. I have trained puppies and also have had senior dogs too as well as meds admin also. I work from home so dogs are vital to me and they make me feel so happy. I love them and they love me so it is a win win. It is nice to be popular too with my K9s as they enjoy my big fenced in yard too which we love to run around in and play all day. I follow directions given to me and listen to the owners as they know their baby best. Other than that I give the dogs all my love and attention.

“Amazing!! Lauren watched our house for a week, picked up our mail, and fed and walked our dog everyday. She put away our groceries that were delivered to our home. We love Lauren!! We are so thankful for her flexibility and she eased our stress knowing our dog and home were taken care of while we were away. I hope you will choose her because she is amazing!!”

About: I have cared for both small and large animals for over 21 years. Your pet will be staying with a very loving, responsible, and respectful family I work from home so someone is home all day every day. I also have a fenced yard for your dog to roam and go out as needed. I provide meals according to owner's instructions and clean up as needed. Also actively partake in play and exercise for the pets which I genuinely enjoy doing.

“Excellent services provided, Erica is very attentive and dedicated. She took good care of our Pickles and took care of his medicine which is administered twice a day in a shot. Highly recommended!”

“Sydney took the best care of our cat Cooper and I could tell when we got home that he was given lots of attention! She was super thorough with all of her notes about her visits and took lots of great pictures for us to see our little guy while we were gone. Thanks for taking such good care of him!”

About: I’ve grown up with animals. I love people who love animals! I enjoy giving ear scratches, tummy rubs and nose boops. We are a military family, with 3 furry friends. Let’s connect and hopefully you can find trust in myself with your most precious pets! I’m currently working part time. I have a flexible schedule as far as what services you may need. I’m open most weekends and week days. I can watch in your home or mine or stop by to take your dog out for the day! I have a fenced yard and a friendly husky. We are big on parks, walking and fetch. Big or small, I don’t mind at all!

“Paige was absolutely amazing with our dogs! She kept us updated every day and we felt so comfortable leaving them in her hands. She even brought them pup cups!”

About: I have taken care of my neighbors dogs and cats since I was 13 when requested. I can walk, feed, and play with dogs or cats for 30 min to 1 hour if needed. I work in Northbrook on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. My hours are 9 am to 4 pm with an hour lunch break from 12 to 1. I’m looking for someone that needs extra help caring for a pet during these days, I’m available before work, right after work, or on my lunch break. I am very gently, loving, and cautious when caring for other people’s pets. I have no problem accommodating/adjusting my care to meet pets’ specific needs.

About: I have had animals in my life ever since I was born. I am a huge dog person and fostered pups before I got my own. I have a chihuahua/mini pincher mix who loves people and other animals, no matter the size! If I am away for work, I constantly watch my pup on the doggy cam. I ensure he gets at least two walks a day, play time at least 3 times a day, and all the snuggles he wants! I've became very skilled at potty training as we went through it living in a high rise. I have a flexible schedule and live/work in Highwood/Highland Park. I have evenings off and do not mind early mornings or weekend appointments! Please let me know how I can help you and your dog! I am an early riser and come by to hang out with my dog for lunch every day. I also have evenings off to enjoy with them whether it’s a long walk or playtime in the house! Tito roams free in the house but I always make sure my pup and the clients get along well before booking. I watch them on the doggy cam while I’m gone and always frequently check in to make sure all is well. My number one concern is making sure everyone is comfortable and happy so I do whatever it takes to ensure that with my clients.

“Jason was absolutely fantastic! His check-in updates were detailed and reassuring, with photos and notes that showed the care he put in. He won over our usually shy cat, Puddles, which says a lot about his patience and kindness. Both Storm and Puddles were clearly well cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all kinds over the last four years. I have the most experience with small dogs under 25 pounds. After a recent move to DC and away from my family dog, I am missing some quality time with furry friends! I have experience dog walking and dog sitting for puppies and middle aged dogs. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I work part time on a flexible remote schedule, so I have plenty of time to go for long walks with your dog during the day. I am an early riser (usually awake by 6:30 AM), so I’m also open to morning walks! I am flexible regarding dog/house sitting, and I am happy to watch your dog for a long weekend (or more!) while you are away. I have experience doing this at my own home and other people’s homes. I am responsible and reliable.

About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs and have over 10 years of hands-on pet-care experience. My family dog, Darwin, has been with us for 13 years, so I understand the patience, attention, and gentleness that older dogs need, especially as they begin to lose sight, hearing, or mobility. I also care for Lucy, our 3 year old dog, who keeps me active with walks, playtime, and lots of fetch. I’m comfortable caring for both young, energetic dogs and senior dogs who need a slower pace, extra help, or a calm routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they are well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently working a part time job and am very flexible with scheduling throughout the week. I am available weekdays and weekends to take care of your dogs. I have experience with both a senior dog and a younger active dog, I’m comfortable adapting care based on age and ability. I can take things slow for older dogs, be patient with mobility or sensory issues, and provide active play and walks for younger dogs. I’ll always treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats for 35 years. I currently have a German Shepherd and a domestic short hair cat. I volunteer at the humane society socializing cats. I am retired and have time and love enough to care for your small dog or cat. I prefer to stay in the northern Virginia area if possible. I’m available for drop in visits or overnights. I amvery experienced keeping an active dog entertained. I can take small dogs for walks in your neighborhood

“Scott has taken care of my cat twice now and does an excellent job. He feeds and spends time with Quinn and administers her insulin shots since she is diabetic. We are so thankful he takes such good care of our girl!”

“Stephen and Donna did an excellent job walking our Great Pyrenees mix several times over a few weeks. You could feel their love for dogs from the moment we met them and they were very communicative and kind throughout the whole process. Our boy enjoyed and looked forward to his walks with them and we would definitely recommend and use their services in the future.”
