Dog Sitting Hoffman Estates

About: I have experience working with all types of dogs in several settings. I have been trusted as a dog walker for breeds of many sizes and temperaments and pet sitter for both daily and overnight stays for dogs of all ages. I have loved it all! I am currently a full time college student and part-time volunteer, which means my availability is primarily dictated by my class schedule. During school months, I am most available in the afternoons and evenings, but over breaks I am much more free! I currently live in a dorm and am therefore unable to bring your pet into my living space, but am willing to use my car to transport your dog(s)!

“Margaret was great! My dog is often standoffish to new people. That was not the case this time. Knowing my dog is comfortable provides so much relief while I’m away.”

“Mya did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my sweet senior cat. She is extremely communicative and sends contact card photos at every check-in, which helped the time away not be as difficult. My senior cat has a pretty strict eating schedule and Mya was always punctual during the time frame we discussed, likely even on her days off. Mya went above and beyond when she noticed some ants in the house, she responded quickly by letting me know, and handled it with ease. Anyone who is able to book with Mya wont be disappointed and I look forward to booking with her again in the future!”

“Ashley does such a great job with our cat Benny. She arrives on time each visit and spends time giving him attention (pets, brushing, etc.). She sends updates and lots of photos during each visit. Thanks again Ashley!!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs ranging from a few lbs to 100+ lbs for years! I have also been caring for different types of cats just as long :) Growing up we always had a dog in the house, so that has made me super comfortable to be around them. Whether I’m walking, feeding, cleaning, or administering medication, I am definitely not afraid of the job! I am a proud mama of 2 cats named Archie and Simon. They are my absolute world! I will make sure to give your pets the same care, caution, attention, and love I give my boys! Pet care has always been a passion of mine. In fact, I went to school for it! Although I did not end up pursuing my desire to become a veterinarian, I still try to incorporate that love for animals in my day to day life! I have an extremely flexible work schedule that allows me to almost work fully remote. I would be able to stop over at the house pretty much whenever you need me to. My work set up also allows me to work anywhere if needed. My weekends are almost always open as well! I will always make sure to talk through your expectations to ensure you are comfortable with the nature of each type of visit. I typically would not host any pets in our home. We have a fenced in backyard and several spaces; however, I would not want to put your pet or my cats in an uncomfortable space. At a clients home, I am more than comfortable with backyard access, crate training, cleaning litter boxes, accessing food/water, and any other requirements for the visit! (Totally fine bringing in mail/watering plants!) I will only access the spaces you need me to. I am also fine spending the night if needed. That would be something we could discuss case by case!

About: Have owned and cared for dogs and cats for 13 years, care for them like they are my own children. Rely on me to protect and love your pets! I enjoy walking and playing with dogs while conversing with them like friends. I spend most of my time with my pets and make sure to include them in things like running errands so they are not bored. I can do anything to assist any kind of pets and their necessities. Whether medical needs or preferences, you can trust me to follow any instructions needed for your pet. I will do anything to make sure your pet is comfortable and feels safe at all times.

About: Hi! I’m Karen, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both small and large pets. I’ve cared for everything from my hamster in high school to my sister’s German Shepherd, Kratos, and I’m currently a proud cat mom to two senior cats, Leo and Toast. Beyond my own pets, I regularly care for my friends’ cats and dogs when they’re out of town. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels, and I understand that every pet has their own quirks and needs. I’ve even had experience working with aggressive or anxious cats, as one of my own cats, Leo, can be quite the little spicy guy! I’m comfortable around both small and large animals, and while I may be small myself, I’m mighty when it comes to handling pets. I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s boundaries, and I’ll always take the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a walk, some playtime, a meal, a clean litter box, or simply some company while you’re away, I’d be happy to give them the same care and attention I’d want someone to give my own pets. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands! I’m currently working a 9-5 in Glenview, available weekends, flexible Monday and Fridays (wfh days), I’m able to visit after work! Just let me know what you need and I’ll make sure you and your babies are taken care of. I always respect each pet’s boundaries and follow their owner’s instructions and routines. I make sure their basic needs are taken care of, while also giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection if they’re comfortable with it. I’ll get everything that needs to be done done, but I also like to go above and beyond—whether that means spending a little extra time with them, giving them some extra playtime, or sending updates and photos so their owners know they’re happy and cared for.

“Nathalia took wonderful care of my cat, SunTie! She was very responsible, kind, and attentive, and followed his care instructions carefully. I really appreciated the updates and felt comfortable knowing SunTie was in good hands while I was away. I would definitely recommend Nathalia and would be happy to book with her again in the future!”

“Kristina is excellent pet sitter! She is great with communication and will follow instructions with no problem. She did a great job watching my cat. I would definitely book her again!”

Michael S.

“Jackie is fantastic! My pup is a wary Lhasa Apso and -I cannot say this about everyone, or even most- he immediately took to Jackie upon meeting her, which I think says a lot. I'm an anxious person and I know my babies are safe in Jackie's care. I also truly trust her, and that's not something I say lightly. :) we are so happy to have found her and her sincerity, gentleness, and excellent ability to communicate bring me such comfort.”

About: I have been around animals since I was born, and I am currently consistently working with dogs, cats, and horses! I have lots of experience caring for all kinds of animals, and am always flexible to fit the needs of your specific pet. I'm currently a full-time student, so I have a good amount of extra time in the evenings and on the weekends to dedicate to pet care. I would love some guidance as to your pets routine and specific needs so that I can provide the best care possible for them, but otherwise I am dedicated to keeping them calm, comfortable, and happy!

“Linda dis a great job with our cats!”

Lee Ann T.

“Liliya could NOT have been more reliable or easier to work with! She cared for our dog while we had a weekend away with family and we felt so calm and comfortable with her from the beginning of our experience. She even stopped by to get acquainted with our pup the day before we left, and each visit she sent us photos and notes on how he was doing!”

About: Peace of Mind While You’re Away Hi, I’m Maggie! As a local, mom and business owner, as well a life long animal lover and pet owner, I bring a level of professional maturity, structural stability, and specialized experience that gives families total peace of mind. I proudly serve pet parents across Rolling Meadows, Arlington Heights, Mount Prospect, Schaumburg and surrounding areas. With a flexible daily schedule, I offer the true consistency and reliable availability your dogs need to maintain a seamless, predictable routine. My Background & Specializations: * Multi-Pet Households: Highly experienced in managing multi-pet dynamics, complex feeding routines, and individual medication schedules. * Sensitivities & Anxiety: Specialized in providing structured, calm care for dogs with environmental anxieties, sound phobias, or strict behavioral routines. My core focus is primarily on high-quality daytime drop-ins and daily walks, though I do consider overnight house-sitting selectively on a case-by-case basis for compatible homes. Service Breakdown: * DROP-INS (30 Minutes): Perfect for a mid-day refresh! Every drop-in includes a 10–15 minute neighborhood stroll or backyard playtime for physical relief and mental stimulation, alongside a fresh food/water top-off, medication administration, and indoor companionship. The Rover Report: You'll receive a detailed Rover Card showing exact arrival/departure times, photos, and a complete potty/behavior update. * WALKS (30 Minutes): Dedicated entirely to continuous, focused outdoor exercise—ideal for active dogs or homes without a yard. Includes a full, structured walk tailored to your dog's natural pace and a food/water refresh upon return. The Rover Report: The app provides a GPS map of our exact route, distance covered, timestamps, photos, and a quick potty report. Important Heat Safety Note: To keep your pups safe, when the heat index rises above 90°F, outdoor walks will be shortened to quick potty breaks to protect paws and prevent heat stroke. The remaining time booked will be spent indoors doing fun brain games, low-energy play, or getting plenty of belly rubs and fresh water! * HOUSE SITTING (Overnights): A premium, dedicated care experience designed to keep your pup's stress low in their own familiar environment. Includes complete adherence to their established routine, basic home care (watering plants, rotating trash/mail), and consistent communication with daily photos. To guarantee the highest level of safety and focused attention, I only accept ONE house-sitting client at a time and book exclusively based on household compatibility. As a self-employed professional, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide reliable, personalized pet care tailored to your families and their furry friend's needs. How I care for pets in your home: Because I provide care exclusively in your home and neighborhood, my top priority is maintaining a secure, predictable, and low-stress environment for your pets. I treat your home with the utmost respect and keep safety at the forefront of every single visit. In Your Home (Drop-Ins & House Sitting): Strict Routine Adherence: I follow your exact instructions regarding feeding, gating, crating, and medication windows to keep your dog's day entirely predictable. Environmental Management: For dogs with anxiety or sensitivity to storms and fireworks, I proactively manage the environment—closing blinds, playing calming background music, and utilizing precise comforting techniques to minimize stress. Home Security & Discretion: I ensure doors are securely locked, alarms are set, and gates are latched during every entry and exit. While house-sitting, I maintain a lived-in presence, bring in mail, and strictly respect your privacy and property. Out on Walks: Double-Check Gear: Before stepping outside, I always verify that collars, harnesses, and leashes are securely fitted and in good condition. Distraction-Free Handling: I maintain full situational awareness on our walks and ensure my eyes are always on your dog, the path ahead, and any oncoming distractions or stray animals. Weather Safety: I actively monitor weather. If pavements are too hot for paws or a storm rolls in, we will seamlessly pivot to structured, energetic indoor play and mental stimulation to keep your pup safe and happy.

I live in a 3 bedroom apartment and can take them for walks around my apartment complex. I live in a safe neighborhood. I will provide safety in the clients home by keeping the doors locked and fence closed after walking your pet.

About: I have two years of experience training puppies (potty/crate training and beginner-advanced commands). I'm patient and let dogs sniff around as much as they please on walks so they get all that good sensory stimulation! I also live near a dog park, and I love taking dogs out to run around and play. Luckily enough, I work from home and am able to watch dogs throughout the day and night, with the ability to take dogs out on as needed bathroom breaks and to play with/train/walk them a throughout the day. Dogs can feel super safe and comfortable at my home! I have a small fenced backed patio with a grassy area. Since I have a small dog, my home is fairly dog-proof. I have multiple dog beds and a play area, not to mention a big selection of toys to choose from!
