House Sitting in Hodgkins

“I came home to happy pups, that’s all I can ask for. Lizbeth was very sweet with my 3 dogs who all differ in personality. She was easy to communicate with and kept me updated while I was away. I will be using her again for future sitting needs.”

About: I’ve had experience with dogs since I was a child, along with many other types of animals. I’ve always loved caring for pets and my goal is to some day own an animal farm. You can trust your pet is in good hands, as I have 3 of my own that mean the world to me. My day revolves around pets care, it is definitely my first priority over anything else. Not only is there time to walk, but there is definitely time to play! Animals each need time dedicated to them individually and should feel special. We have a 3 story house, with a beautiful back yard. A cleaning crew keeps our house spotless and free from any pet dangers. You can trust your pet is in good hands when staying with us.

“Miguel was fantastic! I got tons of updates, I could see that my dog was getting the very best care. Would definitely recommend Miguel for a dog sitting and walking.”

“Grace was a fantastic sitter and exceeded my expectations :) My furbaby adored her within seconds of meeting, she spent a lot of time with him and sent pupdates and photos regularly. I’ll definitely continue to book her.”

“Everything worked out perfectly with Heidi! She is great with dogs and very trustworthy. Her communication was great from our first meeting with our dog through her pet sitting visit. She asked great questions before we left and we felt in touch with pictures and updates during our vacation. She stayed with our dog, walked her, played with her and loved her while we were away. She was a very tidy house guest, cleaned before she left and our house was just as we left it. I would absolutely recommend Heidi for someone looking for a pet sitter.”

“Sarah was amazing! Our pup felt very comfortable with her and was treated great! Sarah provided awesome updates and made us feel really comfortable. Will definitely use her again!”

“Stephanie is simply amazing. Our pups love her and she is so easy to work with, she’s great. Once we start planning a trip one of our first moves is to make sure Stephanie can house sit and pup sit our two pooches and once we know she’s able to, our trip planning always gets so much easier. Stephanie is a really hard worker and is often busy working, but when she’s staying with our pups she ALWAYS make sure she has quality time for our doggos and when we are out of town and she’s with our pups she gives us regular updates on how they’re doing, which are always very appreciated.”

About: I have loved and cared for animals my whole life. Since I was very young, I have always had pets in my home. Growing up in Brazil, I cared for dogs, cats, birds, chickens, and other small animals. I am comfortable with feeding, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, giving attention, playing, and making pets feel safe and loved. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs patience, kindness, and care. I am responsible, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I will treat your pets like family and make sure they feel happy and comfortable while you are away. I work Monday through Friday from 7am to 5pm, so I’m available before 7am, after 5pm, evenings, and weekends. I’m also open to overnight care when it’s a good fit, as long as I can return by morning. I’m happy to discuss schedules and find the best option for you and your pet. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and trust with every pet in my care. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, medications, and any special instructions. I create a calm, loving environment where pets feel secure and comfortable. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in caring, reliable hands.

“Thank you as always for taking such great care of Bunny, sending updates, and for leaving the house cleaner than you found it!!! You’re the best, Lauren!”

“Diane was so kind and wonderful with our senior dog. She made such an effort to get to know us and our dog’s needs. She communicated clearly throughout her short stay. We can’t wait to book her again!”

“Irena took great care of my 2 dogs in my home. This was my first time and I was nervous. She sent me a picture every day and assured me that all was well. I already have her booked again She’s a keeper!”

“Nicole did an amazing job! She tried her best to maintain the same schedule our dog is used to. She took her out for walks and kept her mind mentally challenged. I will definitely use her services again.”

About: I started pet sitting as a teenager for neighbors and family friends. Since then, I have watched all types of dogs, including senior dogs. I became a dog owner for the first time in my mid-twenties. He was an elderly beagle mix with health issues. After he passed, I grieved until I was ready to own a dog again. Then I had ten wonderful years with Shadow, a husky mix who was a stray that made his way to a rescue. He bravely fought lymphoma for 1.5 years before succumbing to the disease. Through that time, I provided medication, took him for chemotherapy, and spoiled him until he decided it was time to cross the rainbow bridge. Shadow's absence still leaves a void in my heart that is filled by caring for other people's dogs. I love all types of dogs, and have experience with small to large, young and old, as well as dogs living with various health issues. Giving dog owners the security and piece of mind knowing their furry family members are safe and sound while they are away is a responsibility that I take very seriously. My husband and I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood and our backyard is fully fenced. As a dog lover himself, anyone who books with me gets their pup double the love. My full time job is permanently remote, so I am able to be at home with your dog at all times. No matter their schedule, I can meet it because I can be here to fulfill their needs. I have a fenced in yard for safety, and a dog-friendly neighborhood where your dog will feel right at home. I know every dog has different needs, so I can follow the habits you have created with them to maintain consistency. Whether that is crate training or sleeping on the couch, I will follow your instructions. I know that dogs are family, and treat them as such.

“Dana did a great job taking care of our dog while we were on vacation for the week. She was very thorough when meeting with us before hand, and it was obvious that she takes her job seriously! She even stayed in our home a few nights and brought her own sheets so we wouldn’t have to wash them after. Highly recommend Dana!”

Kate H.

“Angelina was stellar. Her love and care of my dog and timely communication while I was away was nothing short of five stars. Highly recommend!”

John R.

“Melanie was great with our dogs! She sent us lots of pictures of them having fun while we’re we’re away. They were so happy and had lots of energy when we got home. And our home was just as we left it! Thank you so much!”

Aubrie W.

“Rita was amazing with our two dogs! She kept us constantly updated with pictures and notes throughout our two week trip. The dogs took to her immediately and gave us peace of mind. The proof is that they were happy and content when we returned home from our trip. I would and will hire Rita again for our future trips. I highly recommend her.”

About: UPDATE JULY 2024, PLEASE READ: If you see that my reply time is incredibly slow, it's because my account was inactive for a while due to my dad being hospitalized. I had to help care for him for a long period of time and I was unable to reply to any messages on Rover. My dad is okay now and I am available for walks and sitting again. I was a dog groomer for almost 2 years. I'm well-trained in animal safety. I care deeply about all animals, so I'll form a bond with your animals. I'm currently unemployed, so I'll have loads of time to provide love for your animals of any kind! Just let me know what you need/what you're looking for! I understand the basics of taking care of dogs, cats and other animals just like most pet sitters. But I also provide what some sitters don't: love! I'm very sweet and I can give your animals great love and care. Plus, I'll provide some pretty amazing photos of them. If anything out of the ordinary does happen, I will do my best to help and I will contact you immediately.

“Patrick did a great job with our dogs. They are bigger active dogs and he handled them perfectly. Made my vacation much more enjoyable knowing my dogs were being well taken care of. Will definitely book with Patrick again.”

“Athena was amazing! Our girls had so much fun & were very well taken care of. She also sent plenty of pictures and updates! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better!”
