House Sitting in Island Lake

“Danette is superb. This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience. Danette was incredibly communicative and put us at ease during our trip. 11/10 recommend! Thank you so much!”

About: I am an animal lover to the fullest and your neighborhood pet sitter! Being around dogs is a form of therapy for me; I also give the best chin and belly rubs a pet could ask for... so it's a win-win! I grew up in a dog household. I will properly care for your pet as if they were my own. My schedule is very flexible and I am open to working with your busy schedule and your pets' needs. I have experience with many kittens and full grown cats and puppies as well as elderly dogs. I am learning more about this industry and pets everyday and loving every day of it! I look forward to meeting you and becoming your pets' newest friend!

“Jennifer did an awesome job keeping us informed and making the dogs very happy with playtime, lots of naps, and fun treats. It was so relaxing to be able to go away and know our home was watched and the dogs happy to stay in their own beds. If an occasion presents itself again where we need to travel and not have all thee dogs with us we will call her again.”

“Our second time using Jordyn to watch our dog/home. She’s always very communicative and spends lots of time playing with our dog. We love the photo/video updates throughout the stay.”

“Hailey is the calm to my chaotic storm (4.5 year old boy, 11 year old cat, 8 week old dog). This day she came to help with my pup on my wildest morning yet. She was kind, calm, and non-judgmental. She made me instantly feel better and at ease when she showed up. Cannot say enough great things about Hailey!!”

Bailey B.

“Victoria is awesome. Our dog and cat love hanging out with her. We will definitely be asking her to pet sit for our fur babies again!”

“Jacob was incredible. He stopped by to meet our boys last week. They immediately took to his kind calming demeanour. He was as very personable and kept us informed periodically throughout the day with pictures and updates on our boys. We are very thankful for him and would use him as our sitter again in a heartbeat.”

Joel S.

“Haley and Alex came through for me in a very last-minute and stressful situation due to a family emergency. They stayed with my Boys and kept them happy and cared for in my home while I was out of town. They were great about keeping me updated, especially knowing how stressed I was since this was the first time anyone besides my immediate family took care of my pups. I would definitely book them again and will recommend them to all of my pet parent friends! 🐶🐾”

“Mark is a great sitter that my family has used twice now! The animals love Mark and I'm always getting updates with pictures of them for peace of mind. Absolutely recommend for your pet sitting needs!”

“Cadence was a blessing! She was a perfect match for us and our 2 sphynx kittens, I'm sure they were so happy to spend the time with Cadence. We will definitely reach out to request her for our next trip, thank you Cadence for being a great loving sister and for keeping our home tidy. Looking forward to the next time!”

“Lauren did a great job. The dogs were happy and she sent regular pictures to let us know how they were doing. She is easy to communicate with and we will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life and love interacting with them and spending my time with them! Whether that’s just sitting around or being outside playing/walking! I’m very much an animal person! I work full time but 12 hour shifts so I only work 3 days a week. My work schedule is 7AM-7:30PM. I can wake up early to let them out and feed them and can take care of them when I get home but on my days off my attention goes to them when needed! I make sure I listen to exactly when and how the pets need to be cared for. I don’t over push the walks or the play time. I make sure if I am staying in the clients house that I keep it clean and listen to their rules and expectation for me staying. I also make sure I communicate often and keep up with updates to the clients.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my lifelong experience with animals. I've always had pets, including those I've rescued and others I've raised from birth, so I'm familiar with a wide range of temperaments and needs. I've also provided loving care for several senior dogs and a senior cat I had since she was a kitten, giving me valuable experience with pets at every stage of life. Since I am primarily self employed, I am flexible in terms of availability! I am available day or night. I try mt best to accommodate client needs. Since I love in a second story condo, I walk my two canine boys several times daily for exercise and for bathroom needs. My cat, Gracie stays indoors but has everything she needs at her disposal.

“Ashlee was so great! She stayed at our house for a few nights and pup sitted our 2 pups. She was great at communicating and sending us updates! She was respectful of our house and cleaned up after herself. We really liked her and so did the pups!”

“Anastasiia was great for Oliver and nova! She checked in on them plenty and was very aware of their needs. She communicated well with me and sent lots of updates. I would recommend using her!”

“Zoe was great with the dogs and with our home. She was very prompt with her timeliness when meeting for the meet and greet and when coming to take care of our pups.”

About: I love all animals, I will treat your dog as if they were my own. I will play with them, make sure they are well fed, and have clean drinking water. I will take them on long walks to assure they get plenty of exercise. I have grown up with pets all my life (dogs and cats) So if you have a cat I can feed them and play with them as well. I have handled dogs of all sizes, and I am very passionate about the well being of animals. It is my goal to one day work with animals in a shelter to ensure they find loving homes, and get the attention they deserve. I am really excited to hopefully start walking some dogs!! I am a free lance employee at the moment. I build my own schedule and I have a good amount of free time, so I’m pretty flexible. I can care for pets in clients home. I can follow their detailed instructions on when and where to walk dogs, how much to feed them and at what time, etc.
