House Sitting in Hinsdale

“Ayden did a fantastic job caring for our cat and three dogs. They can be a demanding bunch, and he was able to provide the level of supervision and care that they needed - managing different diets, a complex mealtime routine, and frequent trips outdoors. Our shy rescues warmed up to him quickly. He was communicative and kept us updated - even checking in a couple days after we had returned. He also left our home in excellent shape. We wholeheartedly recommend Ayden.”

“We had a great experience with Lori house sitting our American Bully & Pit mix. Lori asked questions ahead of time, reviewed our instructions, and sent us text and photo updates. We couldn't have asked for anything more. We really appreciated all of her communication.”

About: Hiya! My names Elias. I offer my services to pet sit and take care of your dogs, cats, fish, snakes, you name it. All I’d need is what feeding, walking, and interactive guidelines you have and I’ll be sure to meet them! I have had cats and dogs my whole life, currently 2 cats and 2 dogs that live with my parents while I work to settle, and have worked both with a diabetic cat as well as disabled cats at a shelter back in highschool. I’ve also house/pet sat for family in recent years. I work with dogs from all backgrounds, including rescues who may be reactive/ medically complex. I have multiple regular obligations a week both on and off of Rovers services so my schedule may depend on what I have that day over all, but I will always work closely with you to try and find a time that works. Never hesitate to reach out if you need to and I will respond as soon as I am able to! During our meet and greet I’ll ask how you prefer your pup be handled both outside and inside, what their schedule is like, and if you possibly have things written down I’d be able to use as a reminder while I sit them. My goal is to make sure your pup is taken care of as close to how they normally are as possible.

“Tosca was fantastic, communicative, and took such amazing care of our pets, including our higher needs anxious pup. 10/10 will be booking again.”

About: Ive been caring for pets for many years. I had a dog walking business over a decade ago. We taken care of our own and others elderly dogs. We like taking dogs on long off leash walks in groups if possible. Dogs are always welcome to cuddle up on the furniture. Im a stay at home-mom, homeschooling. We go to play groups and trips but we can plan our day around dog walks. We take the dogs out first thing in the morning on leash as our yard isnt fenced. We are happy to come feed kitties and water plants. We love taking dogs out on walks and caring for them in our home. We love going on long walks mid day out in nature

“super responsive and wonderful with our pup!”

About: Experienced pet-sitter with a widely flexible schedule available for any needs you may have for your pet! On top of pet-sitting and day trip/walking experience I have experience as an assistant groomer from working for The Green Groomer in Northampton, MA which you are welcome to get in touch with as a reference. I also worked at a Dog Daycare in the Boston area before moving to Western MA, where I was involved with many responsibilities surrounding the pups including providing their meals, pick-ups/drop-offs, de-escalation of conflict, and general moderation of behavior. Working in this field has granted me the opportunity to work with dogs of all temperaments, ages, and sizes and has taught me how to interact with pups from all walks of life. On top of that I have experience with bathing, nails, and ear cleanings from my time at the Green Groomer. My schedule is extremely flexible, with open availability during the week before 3PM, making check-ins during the work day hassle free, and my shift never getting out later than 10:30PM, so overnight boardings are still not a problem during my work week. I also have Friday-Sundays off so long weekend boardings are always an option. Please let me know in advance of any house rules for your pup (i.e furniture rules, dietary restrictions, routine scheduling) and I will be sure to follow them with the same consistency you would. In regards to boarding with me they would be boarded in a pet-free, smoke-free, child-free condo with a large unfenced yard in the back for leashed outings when needed!

About: I am an experienced veterinary professional with 7 years of pet care under my belt. I can work with a plethora of species. I am passionate about my work and finishishing school to be a certified veterinary technician. I hold the standards of care I give to others' pets the same I give to/expect for my own. Currently, taking care of your pets is my full time job while I focus on school. I'd be thrilled to provide care to all sorts of pets, no matter the species,, young or old and provide whatever care they need through potty breaks, enrichment, simpletraining, and/or meds. I am more than willing to take on whatever training schedules, safety implementation, etc you have implemented for your animals while you are not there. I will also be sure they're on their proper feeding, watering, and potty schedules. Cleanliness is another important idea to have with animals. Whether an animal has a cage or crate or not, whatever mess they make will be cleaned and their health ensured.

“John dog sat for us when we went away for 8 days. Maggie was well taken care of. He sent us pictures with updates every day without fail. He was very accommodating the last day when our plane was delayed, and he offered to take care of Maggie for an additional night!”

About: Hi! I'm Nicole. I'm a software developer & animal lover. I've been around dogs since I was little and have always wanted to adopt one. Caring for dogs with busy owners is a great compromise! Dog owners will love that I will treat their furry pal as if they were mine. They will also love that I have private outdoor space for playtime, anytime, and am right next to central park so there's alot of ground for your furry friend to explore! I truely care about your pets well being so I am consistent with feeding time and will always make sure your furry friend is comfortable, whether its brushing her or refilling her water bowl. I am available Wednesdays and the Weekends for pet sitting, walking, and house sitting. If you are going away for a weekend and need someone to house & pet sit, I'm your girl!

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, same goes for cats. I grew up with multiple dogs, cats, a tortoise, and several rabbits. I work part time for the Recreation department as an After School Group Leader. Any time outside of 2pm-6pm on weekdays I can be there for your pet! I have been pet sitting independently for several years now, caring for anywhere between 3-7 cats at once and multiple dogs as well. My time management and customer (or fur baby) service is unmatched.

About: I've taken care of big dogs, small dogs, in between dogs. I've taken care of young kitties, mature kitties, and elder kitties. They all were adored by me. I currently work remotely, so I have plenty of time to be present for the needs of those I'm caring for. Working this way allows for a more spacious and flexible day and week. I am easily adaptable and can work within the needs of the homes I visit. Every home and every care situation is unique and requires fluidity.

About: I’ve had pets since I was about 4 years old, and am experienced with caring for cats and dogs. Any needs they have, I will take care of them all - from simple company when you're at work, to walks, giving meds and overnight stays! I have experience training puppies too, from potty training to the classic "stay", "sit", "come", "leave" etc. commands. I have a large dog myself so size of your pet is no issue. Anything you're unsure about, shoot me a message! I work full time at a school but am free weekdays after 2pm until around 10pm. On weekends I am free from Friday afternoon until Monday morning so I can do overnight stays too if needed. Depending on the care required, I will feed pets, give them meds, take them outside, play games/fetch/etc., brush them, empty litter boxes and so on. I have had several cats and dogs of my own and cared for many more, so I am comfortable with adjusting to their different personality types.
