Dog Sitting in Hoffman Estates

“Liz was great to work with. She provided wonderful care for our new puppy as well as our other pups. My dogs were happy to see her and I felt much better knowing our puppy wasn't in her crate for too long. I knew my dogs and home were in good hands. I will definitely look for her again when we need help with our dogs.”

About: I'm an engineering graduate student, and a passionate animal lover, especially dogs. I have shared already 6yrs with my loyal furry friend called "Fundido" (as in Fondue cheese!). This past 6yrs have been one of the most fabulous learning experiences I’ve had, cultivating love, joy, trust and respect. Having a relationship with my pooch have been so wonderful that I feel I need to share some of what I know so everyone can experience a loveable and healthy relationship with their furry ones. However, there are a few things that we humans sometimes oversee, and for me it’s the "power of the walk". I believe that a "tired dog is a happy dog", and I mean it in the healthiest way possible. Most of the problems with our dogs at home rely on the fact that they have NOT drained enough of their energy "outside" and begin to unleash that energy inside our homes (biting, scratching, jumping, breaking the place down, etc). A good pattern that have worked for me in the past is having the dog exercise, then discipline and finally show affection, in this particular order. Having said that, I can aid you with your dog(s) energy at home by helping you master the power of the walk. Always remember, better humans, better planet! And for those who only need just a dog walker, or a guy to feed your dog and make them some company more than a dog passionate, I’m also available. Feel free to reach out anytime!

About: I have helped raise three kitties! I have additionally helped to raise a puppy who was a bit reactive and required additional training. While it was tough, it was very rewarding and I appreciate the way it helped me better communicate with my dog. I am currently taking a break from corporate work, and would love to spend my summer regrouping but doing one of my favorite things: Hanging out with and helping adorable animals! I am extremely flexible with my schedule, and willing to travel. Currently, I care for my pets by providing weekly brushing, daily feeding, daily litter box cleaning/rotation, weekly litter deep cleans, and play time. For dogs, I am comfortable, feeding, walking with a harness, collar, as well as a gentle-leader for our more reactive friends. While doing home visits, I am comfortable and happy to supervise outdoor/backyard time. I love long walks and am comfortable with dogs up to 100 lbs.

About: I always try my best to make your dog happy. I have an appreciation for dogs, they keep my life moving. I enjoy meeting new dogs and making new friends. I work part time so I’m definitely free for some days. Weekdays I usually work 9am through 5 pm and weekends 6pm through midnight. Text me if you ever need anything, happy to help. I have a big yard to play with your dog and it’s fenced. I also have a friendly dog but usually shy meeting new dogs

“Leah did an amazing job with our young Pomeranian, he can be a handful! She was careful and thoughtful in her care for him during his drop in, and we felt safe with Leah.”

About: I have been a nanny/babysitter since I was in middle school and pet care goes hand in hand with that. I’ve taken care of all of my clients’ pets when they are out of town. I currently have my own fur baby (Hank the GSD) so I don’t do overnight pet sitting anymore but I am looking for drop in jobs in my area I am a full time nanny in Arlington heights so I am able to drop in before or after work and on the weekends to check on your pets. I work roughly 8am-5pm M-F I can come check on your pets and play with them. Make sure they have food/water and take them for short walks before work or longer walks after work. On the weekends I am able to stay longer to spend time with them but no overnights.

“Rachel was amazing. Took care of everything we asked with our cat and had great communication while keeping us up to date on everything. Thank you!”

About: I’m the designated pet sitter in my family and family friends. I’m able to watch and take care of both dogs and cats. I respect your pets time to gain their trust as well as monitoring their body language and behavior to foresee and issues they may have. I’m able to swing by for potty breaks and brief socialization during the day. After 3pm I’m able to spend time with the pets fully. Depending on what day of the week will impact how long I’m able to care for your pet. For both dogs and cats the treatment is different. I’m able to watch body language and respect your pets time so they can adjust to having a new person touch and take care of them.

About: My boyfriend calls me a dog whisperer. Every dog we encounter on our walks comes to me first and gets so excited to see me. I have a pretty flexible schedule with my kids being in school and only working part time, so I have the time to give your pups some attention. I have a friendly clean home. I have a dog park close to where I live for socialization and expending energy. . I do have a crate if need be.

“Lauriel was wonderful! My pets were very well taken care of and I don’t even know how much they missed us. They enjoyed her so much! That is how I want to be! She was professional, prompt, and always sent pictures of my dog and cat! We will definitely use her again. She was wonderful.”

“We had Kathleen do drop-in visits while we were gone for 3 days, to care for our dog. She was amazing and really took the time to make sure he was loved and comfortable while we were away. She sent updates on how he was doing, pictures of him playing in the yard and house, and gave him plenty of belly rubs. We were so happy to know he was in such great care!”

About: I have the patience and caring vibe that dogs seem to sense . Nothing give me more joy than knowing I can take care of someone's furbaby and give them the same love they would recieve. The joy when a dog knows they are cared for is the best feeling. I respect owners that seek out someone to walk their dog, or visit them because to me it shows they do want their dog to know they are loved . My ultimate goal is to provide trust and respect to the families and the dogs and that they can count to me to help ease their worry if they feel they would be home alone too long . Helping is what I want to accomplish.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 9 years and have regularly volunteered with a local dog rescuer to foster dogs before they find their forever home. I have experience with dogs of all ages and look forward to caring for yours! I work from home most days and generally have the ability to move my schedule around if you need care multiple days in a row. I take frequent breaks for walks or play time with the dogs. I’ve got a large fenced in yard with plenty of room for your dog to run and play in. I’ve also got plenty of room in my house if a crate is needed. I’ll take care of your dog as if he or she was my own.
