Dog Sitting Highland Park

About: Caring for pets has been my main job for about 8 years now. I’ve always had an immense love for dogs and other animals and make sure to care for each one the same way I would for my own. I like to stay active and love playing outside or especially walks. I will go as fast or slow as your dog wants! I also of course love to just chill and give pets. Ive gotten to know and understand many animals with different personalities and will adjust to your pets specific needs! My schedule is pretty flexible so I can accommodate your pets needs! I’m available at different times of the day so whether your pet needs a walk while you’re at work or a sitter for the week I am able to help out! I take sitting very seriously as it’s a big responsibility to care for your pet and home. I will always be sure to put the time aside needed to keep your pet happy and healthy and will be communicative if any issue arises. I will leave your house as clean as I found it and perform basic upkeep like light cleaning, gathering mail and taking out trash. I will also do more such as watering plants if you let me know! I am able to

About: My Husband and I welcomed my dog 7 years back in the family when we had no plan to have a pet but we just had to bring her home. I have trained her all by myself and received many compliments on how well-behaved my pet is. I have taken care of my friend's fur friends multiple times. Zusa gets along with pretty much everyone with a condition of them remembering who the queen is in the house lol there’s 40% chance of her playing with your pet but she’ll mostly mind her own business which noting everyone who stopped by- by the bay window that’s 10ft long. Your fur baby will be allowed there too after 24hrs of stay😊 we enjoy pets more than humans😜 which is why your pets likely to be cuddled here not just for the show. They’ll be treated as a cousin of Zusa visiting and nothing less than that. I work from home, so I have plenty of time to entertain your fur friend! I'm available on weekdays anytime after 10 am and accommodate them over weekends with some heads up. I have a fenced yard, lots of toys, and a Shitzu to give your pet company. I do have pretty much everything but a crate, so if you believe your pet will be more comfortable with that, then please bring it with you.

About: Hi, I’m Andrea! 🐾 I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 20 years, from tiny kittens to senior pups who need a little extra TLC. I grew up with pets as part of the family, so I know they deserve love, patience, and attention just like we do. I work from home, which means I have a flexible schedule to spend plenty of time with your furry family member. Whether it’s walks, playtime, snuggles, or making sure medication is given on time, I’m all about keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. Friends and family have trusted me for years to care for their pets while they’re away — and I treat every animal like my own. You can count on me for reliable communication, daily updates, and lots of cute photos while you’re gone.

About: I’ve been on Wag for a while and loved it so I wanted to expand my business to Rover! I’m looking forward to becoming a regular caretaker for your furry friend. I’ve done drop-ins for friends, families and clients on vacations. I make sure they get some loving and pets during each drop-in. I also have been volunteering at cat and animal shelters since high school. I love dogs and I like to run with dogs as well. I’m experienced with dogs that pull. A little about me. I’m a Master’s student studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling and I currently work with children with Autism. Other than that, I love being active and enjoying nature. I am patient and understanding of any specific request you would want! I adore animals so I assure the best quality of care possible! I currently work part-time so I’m always looking for walks on my off-time. I’m available for sittings/boardings everyday unless I’m on vacation! I have a clean studio. I have a balcony, large windows and a big windowsill for your cat to sunbathe in. I have space for all of your cats’ needs!

About: Special needs, patience, guidance, understanding, care, safety and obviously tons of love gifts I have shared with dog friends for most of my life . I have raised 3 litters of pugs. Adopted a special needs pug. Cared for a poodle with seizures, a wonderful lab, beagles and some dog friends who were just special and some that still are. I love to go on walks at what ever pace is best for your pet. I understand and am attentive to their needs. Also I understand and respect the importance and needs for the type of care you prefer for your pet. Please let me know exactly what they are so I can provide the best care possible for your pet while you are away. I am currently working part-time and from home I will have plenty of time to play for and Care for your pets. I am available most evenings and weekends. Looking forward to hearing from you. I have a fenced yard and to every room of my home except for the kitchen. Your pet can be created if necessary. There is plenty of space for play and for rest my home is located in a very friendly and safe neighbourhood.

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities and needs! I’ve spent over 500 hours volunteering at an animal shelter, where I walked large, strong, and reactive dogs and learned how to work with dogs with a wide range of behavioral challenges. I also have personal experience managing strong, reactive pitbulls in my own family, so I understand the importance of patience, reading body language, and adapting to each dog’s individual needs. I’ve lived with multiple shelter dogs with behavioral quirks and fostered a shelter dog with behavioral challenges for eight months, giving me experience with the consistency and understanding that some dogs need to feel safe and comfortable. I am also experienced with giving medications. I’m comfortable with dogs who need a little extra patience, space, or understanding, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I also have experience caring for both friendly and more temperamental cats, along with previous pet-sitting experience. Whether your pet is energetic, nervous, reactive, independent, or just a little quirky, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own! I am a grad student, so my schedule varies from week to week. However, I do my best to be flexible and communicate clearly about my availability. I am happy to coordinate with you ahead of time to find a schedule that works for both of us! When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by maintaining their usual routines and following their owner's instructions closely. I am happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are in good hands while you’re away!

About: My name is Catie, and I am a devoted dog lover who is always excited to meet new furry friends. Being a pet parent is not always easy, which is why I am here to help. Life can be busy and stressful, but it doesn’t have to be for your furry loved ones! I take caring for pets very seriously and would love the opportunity to support another pet parent when needed. My goal is to provide the same utmost care to all of my clients as I do for my own animals at home. I work in higher education full-time outside Rover, but I remain committed to helping as many pet parents as I can in any given week and can be flexible in my scheduling. I look forward to the opportunity to get to know you and your pets better too! I work full-time but have early hours, which gives me more time in the afternoons and evenings to care for my and your pets! I am available typically after 2PM on the weekdays. I have much more flexibility on the weekends when I am not traveling for work. Safety is a priority when it comes to my fur babies. I emphasize advocating for our pets as they can’t do it themselves. To start, I must understand the harness for your dog before our walk and how they handle other dogs, people, and other animals. I make an effort to avoid other nearby animals on walks for the safety of your pet, coming from experience. Being from the Midwest, I am always conscious of the ever changing weather and whether or not it safe for your pet to go outside.

“Katie was great! She gave both my babies all the loving and attention they needed. She took lots of photos and left detailed notes about things she took care of for them. I will be using her for future drop in visits!”

About: New clients: Use this promo code for a discount!!!: NIKKIW65428 My love for animals started with my first dog Kimba, a goofy beagle. He taught me to live in the moment & laugh all the laughs. After his passing I started watching neighbors animals and my love affair with them grew. I now have 3 of my own, 2 cats & 1 dog. I've worked at a boarding/ grooming facility where I became familiar with all breeds of dogs. I have administered meds, and learned so much about temperament, and the importance of redirection. Hey there! My name is Nikki & I've been a lover of animals my whole life. I have a dog & two cats & they're my entire world. I'll treat your pets as I treat mine, with a whole lot of LOVE & care. I have worked a veterinary office & a boarding facility & have experience with all breeds. I am able to come to your home and keep your companion company. We can play a game of catch or snuggle depending on what your dog prefers :)

About: I've always had three dogs in my household growing up at all times, at various sizes and ages. From Maltese to Saint Bernard, I've had them all. As I started my independence in adulthood, I also got a Newfoundland as my first pet by myself. I have experience with both senior and young dogs, with the ability to follow directions when it comes to medications and specializations.

About: I grew up with many different animals at home and I loved to take care of them and play with them. I also had dogs and was able to breed and enjoy 12 puppies. I also take care of my neighbors two dogs when they go on vacation or extended weekends. Now I have a Doberman for the last 6 years and she is a smart and loving companion and I trained her to be a service dog. I know how to respond if your furry friend should get sick and have great contacts to a veterinarian hospital. I left corporate world in December last year and are now enjoying retirement. I will have plenty of time to accommodate and play with your furry friend. I have a single family home with fenced in yard to accommodate your dog and to play with Piper, my 6 year old Doberman girl.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life from my parents breeding them when I was a kid to saving cats and dogs from the streets and making sure they get spayed/ neutered and given the best forever home. I currently work part time as a personal assistant so I have lots of free time to dedicate to my dogs as well as looking after other peoples babies. My home has a fenced in yard, 3 story home with lots of room for running. I have house sat for family and friends before and always treat your home like I would want someone to treat mine while I’m away.

“This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit wary but Hannah made it so easy and worry free. She was respectful to my home, communicative and so sweet with my senior cat. I felt comforted that while out of town that my cat was in good hands. I plan to use Hannah again when I’m out of town next.”

About: I’ve always had great experiences of taking care of pets since childhood. From taking care of my own, pet sitting for friends while they’re out of town as well as working at a doggy daycare for a year. I have experience with both cats & dogs of various sizes and ages. Currently I have open availability for house sitting (Sunday through Saturday) and will be available for dog walking and check ins Wednesday through Saturday (mornings and afternoons). I cannot board pets at my home since I share my living space at this time, however, I’m opening to visit/stay at the client’s home if needed.

About: I previously lived with an Alaskan Malamute. Need I say more? Also a doctor of humans but in a pinch it should come in handy I have lots of hours off at a time and also shift work so I can easily accommodate any schedule or flexibility needed with pet owners! The pet would be with me during in home care, cuddles included. At a clients home very easy to follow clients routine. Would only expose to other environments on owners request!

“Peyton provided drop in visits for my elderly Shar Pei for a 10 day vacation. She is priceless. Lots of communication, photos & videos. Yoda loved her. I am sure many times she spent more than the allotted time living on him. She understood & provided for the needs of a senior dog. I definitely recommend Peyton & will call on her again.”
