House Sitting in Highmount

“Erin house-sat for us when we needed a cat sitter for four days on short notice. She was amazing! Her connection to the kitties and thoughtful, conscientious approach to the care of our beloved companions set my mind at ease. It was clear from our first conversation that she was trustworthy and dependable, which was reassuring since we've never had a house-sitter. We have a senior cat who requires twice-daily medication and Erin handled all his special needs. She communicated clearly, left the house in excellent condition, and is also just a wonderful person all around!”

“She is the absolute best! I would not use anyone else! She treats our pets like our own; accommodates our every request and is as trustworthy as they come! Don't hesitate to have her care for your grumpy old dog, energetic larger dog or your cats. She handles it all with ease. I've already booked her for our next trip.”

“Brian took amazing care of our Reuben. He communicated as needed and sent picture updates which put us at ease while away- we will definitely be contacting him in the future if we need someone. Thanks so much Brian!!”

“Karla is a gentle and kind animal whisperer. Our pup was immediately calmed by her energy. From his daily med routine, to even feeding him by hand when he put up a “my humans are traveling fight” she cared for him with grace and love. AND we got daily pics.”

“Wow! Wow wow! Gaby was the best companion Kevin could ask for in my absence. She took time to get to know him, listened to all my paranoid instructions, sent regular photos and updates, and left my house completely spotless. Most importantly, I came home to a completely well fed, well exercised super chill dog who seems to have had the best week ever!”

About: I’m an artist living in a beautiful quiet space in Woodstock with a large yard and plenty of nearby places to hike and swim in the water holes. I had a rescue Wheaten Terrier for 11 years, who sadly passed in January due to a heart condition she had since she was 7 years old. I’m really great with rescues, and highly sensitive dogs. I know how to give medication and just generally vibe with what the dog needs. I’m highly intuitive and I find this to be my main asset as the dog always communicates its needs and wants, we just need to know how to listen. I love all dogs but unfortunately cannot watch ones that shed a lot due to allergies. I’m an artist, mostly working from my home desk or at a coffee shop. I love taking pets to the cafe, if it's an environment they are used to and comfortable with. Sometimes I will work at a cafe but I can make my schedule flexible given enough notice. I have a quiet spacious yard in Woodstock with lots of nearby nature paths. Each day I like to get out for a long walk in nature, and I also live right near a nature preserve that is walking distance from my home. It’s just me at home so it’s a calm relaxing environment.

About: Hi, I'm Marceline! Growing up with a wildlife rehabilitator for a parent, I was surrounded by animals from day one. From bottle-feeding baby raccoons to gently caring for injured birds, I learned early on the patience, empathy, and responsibility that animals deserve. That lifelong passion turned into a career of caring: I spent 4 years at a cat shelter, helping to socialize, medicate and find loving homes for many cats. Beyond that, I've volunteered extensively at Farm sanctuaries and animal shelters, gaining hands-on experience with dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, and more! Whether your pet is playful and energetic or shy and sensitive, I'm dedicated to providing calm, attentive, loving care that meets their unique needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your animal family. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own - with respect, reliability and plenty of love. Let's connect - I'd love to meet you and your pets! Because I have an open schedule, I'm able to dedicate focused time throughout the day for walks, feedings, play, medication and whatever unique care each pet needs. I plan my day around their routines, not the other way around - whether that means early morning visits, midday potty breaks, evening cuddle time, or sleepovers. I'm used to structuring my day with animals in mind, especially my own cats and hermit crabs. Being attentive to animals' behaviors and needs is second nature to me, and I always make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and consistency throughout the day. When you leave your pet in my care, you're not just hiring someone to feed or walk them - you're trusting me with a member of your family. I take that responsibility seriously. Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment is at the heart of everything I do. I closely follow your pet's routines, dietary needs, and any medical requirements to make sure they stay happy and healthy. Im experienced in handling a wide range or animals - including those with special needs, and I always keep a close eye on behaviot and well-being When I visit your home for your pet, I strive to create a low-stress environment where they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. From cozy resting spots to familiar routines and gentle handling, I make sure your pet feels right at home with me.

“Alexa is the best. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our pup!”

About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12 and was given my miniature Australian Shepard at that age. She passed in 2020 and although I havent had another dog since, I am happy and comfortable around dogs. I work at an animal hospital on the West side and love it. I worked at AMC for two years as a veterinary assistant which confirmed for me I am in the right field. I am currently SAH so I have ample time to walk pets/ pet sit for anyone that needs assistance in their everyday lives. As long as I have notice I can manage anything I make sure I have many toys and bowls of water/food for the pets. I know about mannerisms for pets and am comfortable giving space or playing with pets that need it. All depends on what they want/ are comfortable with

About: I’ve taken care of many animals every since I was 10. I hope to meet your cute furry friend soon because I know their pawfect!

About: Growing up we always had animals in the home. Dogs and cats mostly! Over the past 7 years I’ve had the privilege of taking care of my friends fur babies (although I often feel as if they’re taking care of me). This included walking, grooming, feeding, and of course play time! I have experience in administering medicine to both dogs and cats. My last furry friend was a gorgeous black cat I rescued off the streets. Unfortunately, not long after we brought him home, he ended up being diagnosed with FeLV. It was a long and often tiring road but I would do it all over again for that special guy! While I’m extremely heartbroken we lost him, I am so grateful I got to experience, at least once in my life, such a special bond. This taught me a lot about caring for animals with serious health issues and deepened my appreciation for them on a new level. My schedule often fluctuates, as I’ve started a new job but I am open to all sorts of Dogs/Cats! I am energetic and love the outdoors so walks and play time come easy to me. Animals have always been an important part of my life. I feel they play an important role as a family member and therefore deserve to be treated like one! Please reach out if you have any questions! I look forward to meeting you and your beloved four-legged friend! - Ava Pet care is a daily necessity when you have the privilege of having a pet. These days I don’t but I hope that I have the privilege of taking care of yours! I think great care starts before I come to your home! I like to spend a little time getting to know if you have any primary concerns for your furry friend. If possible I like to keep a record of emergency contacts, vet info, feeding instruction (if any specific), medications, and alarm codes or instructions to enter the home. Before I leave I also like to triple check that all gates , doors, and fences are properly closed and locked.
