House Sitting in Hinsdale

“Lori is great! She totally understands our dog's temperament and took him on many adventures while we were away. We think he had more fun than we did!”

“Maggie is a wonderful housesitter. Our very anxious grouchy dog took an immediate liking to her. We will definitely be using Maggie to house and dog sit the next time we go away.”

“Stacie was terrific! It's very obvious she is in-tune with creatures and Sam seemed to be instantly comfortable with her. Going away is much easier when we know both house and Sam are in good hands.”

“Colin was amazing and took very good care of our dogs over a weekend while we were out of town. He was very detailed in capturing all the information about our dogs during his first visit before we left. He captured thorough notes and asked lots of questions while getting to know the dogs and took the time to meet them and walk them multiple times before we left. While we were gone, he kept us updated every day, even if it was just a "they are doing great" text and a picture. Colin is very responsive and we will definitely be asking him to watch our dogs again!”

“Hayley is AMAZING!! One of my cats is very social and the other is shy. She got BOTH of them playing, brushed them, and made sure they knew they were loved on top of the bare minimum of feeding them and giving my old lady her meds. She even checked to make sure my hamster was still breathing while I was away since it was always during my hamster’s sleep time that she was there. Highly recommend. Will be using again if I ever am going away and she is available”

“Without a doubt, Kaila is the best in the business. Perfect care was given to our pets, and when our flight was delayed to double our sitting needs, Kaila stepped up for us then too. We will 100% be using her in the future, and will happily recommend her to anyone with animal care needs. 11/10 Dolittles, truly the best.”

“Deanna took great care of my dog and my old Vermont house while I was away. My old dog also had a small leg injury that flared up and Deanna was all over it, applying new bandages as needed. My dog loves all the help from Deanna!”

“Molly is a caring and responsible pet sitter. She was very kind to my dog as well easy to communicate with. She is very reliable!”

“Kendra is knowledgeable with dog care and took steps to keep my dog safe. Engaged well my dog who is not well socialized and needs time to warm up to new people.”

“Hello! Bryana has been immensely helpful these past couple years in providing care for our dogs and cat, including feeding and spending time with them when my partner and I are away and when I was recovering from surgery more recently. Bryana will often take our 1.5 year old Great Pyrenees pup on hikes for hours at a time and I know I don’t have to worry about him. He always comes home tired and happy. Bryana is a great communicator, professional, timely, and an overall quality person. They are great at relationship building, with all creatures, and it shows in how our animals relate to them when they come over. Even our highly anxious pit mix cuddles up to Bryana, which is extremely rare. Highly recommend!”

“Danielle was an amazing sitter - both of my dogs loved her from the start, and when I got back after five days away it was like they hadn’t minded my being gone at all. Would recommend Danielle’s services to anyone!”

“We are so lucky to have had Fawn house and dog sit for us for almost a week over the holidays. Fawn is extremely respectful and communicative. We had lots of updates and photos and felt very at-ease with Fawn in our puppies’ care. Highly recommend!”

“Eli has spent a lot of time with my dogs. He shows them so much love, immediately getting on the floor to greet the puppy playfully, and responding to the older dog with belly rubs and affection. Eli demonstrates an understanding of dog behavior and development such as positively redirecting the teething puppy with chew toys. He is responsible and timely, showing up when he says that he will. I trust Eli with my dogs not only because of the observable interactions, but also because he genuinely loves my dogs. I highly recommend Eli as a responsible, experienced caregiver for dogs.”

“Kiersten is very easy to communicate with and took great care of my dog, Luna. She sent me lots of pictures of their time together and was very flexible when our plans changed. I would definitely hire her again.”

“Hayley was incredibly kind and communicative throughout the time she spent at our home. We immediately felt at ease leaving our senior dogs in her care for a week, and would definitely recommend her as a pup and house sitter.”

“I have met many animal lovers in my lifetime, but Michelle is one of the top most loving and passionate pet sitters that I know! She is dedicated and gentle when caring for pets of all sizes, and I am always touched to see her excitement whenever she works with cute pups and kitties. Michelle is so wonderful with animals, I would make her my number one go-to sitter for my pets when I adopt one some day!”

“Megan did a wonderful job watching Abby! We got daily updates and pictures and came home to a happy pup and clean home! Thank you Megan!”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience having Sam watch the dogs. No issues, they are very happy, house looks awesome, thanks again Sam.”

“Michelle was a great sitter! Highly recommend She was on time for both appointments. She followed our feeding schedule and bathroom schedule. Took great care of our dog in our home for a full day. She is polite and friendly and cleaned up after herself and our dog . Can’t wait to have her sit again.”

About: I have experience with complex dog behaviour including, separation anxiety, human and dog anxiety/reactivity/aggression, resource guarding, dog training, positive reinforcement methods, behaviourism and much more. I work from home the majority of the time and so can work from people's houses or can stop by at certain intervals throughout the day. I do travel occassionally for work so am not always available. My approach to pet care is person centred and individual. Your pet will have its own personality and needs and I will flex according to what they require and what you prefer.
