House Sitting Kenosha

“Leah was great with my 2 high energy dogs. We left for several days and I never had to worry. The dogs both liked her and had lots of fun. Leah kept in touch and sent some pictures. I would recommend Leah to other pet owners looking for quality care for their furry friends.”

“I booked with Aixa last minute and she showed up for us. She came for a meet and greet with our fur babies and took care of them and our home overnight. She is very sweet and loved on the babies like her own. I will definitely be a repeat client.”

About: I’ve had pets most of my life… I’ve had dogs, cats, bunnies and guinea pigs. I’ve house sat which included farm animals. I am patient and willing to give all my love to any animal even if they aren’t mine. I am a student so I would come between classes, before classes, and after to take care of any pets. I do not have a full time job. I want to work with whatever you have at your house. I will make sure that all of your rules are followed, and that your fur babies are well taken getting care of.

“Delaney is reliable friendly and very loving to our pug Louis. Very caring and attentive. Definitely someone I will always have be with our sweet boy.”

“Samantha was great! We will definitely have her back. She cared so much for our doggie, sent regular updates, and asked important questions. She took care of our home as well by watering my flowers and keeping it spotless for when we returned. She was very accommodating when we had a family emergency and cancelled one of the pets that she was supposed to watch. I was overall very impressed!”

Kendra M.

“Trina is such a lifesaver. We had a dog sitter lined up who had to bail on us about 12 hrs before we were supposed to leave on our first ever Disney vacation. She responded to my message immediately, was available on short notice and honestly spoiled the heck out of my dog! My dog is a senior citizen and takes 2-4 meds a day. She made sure he got all his meds, followed an intricate feeding schedule, and loved him as her own. She checked in with me daily to assure us he was doing well. She also helped feed our fish and turtle. What a lifesaver! We returned to happy animals and a very clean house. We will definitely be using Trina for all our vacations from here on out!”

Lana M.

“We were extremely pleased with the diligent care Monica provided for our 4-year-old Miniature Australian Shepherd. She did an excellent job not only watching Jaco, but also taking great care of our home while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was in such good hands. We would absolutely use Monica again and highly recommend her to others.”

Janine B.

“Kelly was a pleasure to work with. She stayed in my home with the fur-babies. Nothing was left undone. My home was clean when I returned & the pups happy. I would ask her to house/pup sit again. 🐶”

About: I’ve been raised around pets my whole life. From a young age I’ve always had a passion for animals. Outside of genuinely loving fur babies, I know how to respect, read and handle them professionally. I also have experience in a veterinary clinic setting as well which is a benefit when handling your babies with care. I am a real estate agent so my schedule is pretty flexible which allows me to care for pets as needed. As long as I have some notice I can work around our pets needs. I make sure all pets are protected and treated as my own. Providing space shelter and attention. I pay close attention to our surroundings to ensure safety and make adjustments as needed.

“Rebecca is amazing. She kept the house clean, was super responsive to my being a nervous cat mom going away for the 1st time. She sent lots of photos and updates and I am planning to book her again for a few other trips I have coming up. I highly recommend her!!!!!!”

Christy M.

“Heidi was amazing. She was very accommodating in terms of finding a time for a meet and greet. When my son decided he wanted to entertain her and have her attention as I showed her around, she was a great sport. She was super non-judgmental about the state of our house, and put me at ease. She was great with our pets while we were gone, and sent adorable photos. When we got home, I found that she had washed all of the odd dishes we hadn’t had a chance to wash before we left. She also shoveled the walkway! I will absolutely be reaching out to her again, next time we go on vacation.”

About: I am available daily and would be delighted to assist you with walking or caring for your animals. I possess over a decade of pet care experience and hold a background in animal care through the 4-H program. I am passionate about all types of animals, regardless of their size or species! I personally have five furry companions, so I deeply understand the significance they hold for you. I have had the opportunity to observe and care for a diverse range of animals, so if you have any further inquiries about my qualifications or my approach to animal care, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for considering my services for your animals and home. I am eager to assist you with any needs you may have. Currently employed as a teacher at a local school, I am fortunate to have ample free time during the weekends, as my work schedule does not include Fridays through Sunday. This allows me to fully utilize my time and resources. I’m available for early morning visits before school and after school care as well after 0330pm! Additionally, I reside in a spacious house with a large backyard, providing ample space for any animal needs. Furthermore, I have received extensive training in animal care! At your home I can make sure your animals are leashed and properly walked to assure they come back safely every time I visit! I can provide a safe crate technique if need be and companionship before leaving your home!

About: I’ve spent a majority of my life around animals. Growing up, we had a variety in the house (dogs, cats, fish, squirrels). I’ve learned that being calm, loving, and patient is the key to dealing with any pet. Like people, pets have their own quirks and personalities that is an absolute joy to learn about! I currently assist my sister with her two boys. Now that they are both in school, my schedule is much more open. I help get them to school early in the morning, and help pick them up in the afternoon. I have no problem helping with specialty pet needs and care, whether that be crating, medications, or assisted devices. Your pets are in great hands :)

About: I have one dog and one cat that tend to stay upstairs. I absolutely love animals, So I hope to have my own little hobby farm one day. If your pet is in my home, please know they’ll always feel loved, safe and most likely tired out from all out walks. I believe humans and animals benefit from exercise which helps with behavior, same for humans. So bring your pup to me, and they’ll be tired for you:) Also, I have a special place in my heart for special-needs animals that need a little extra love and patience. I have been doing dog-watching for the past four years, in addition to working part-time for 10 years. I work at a school right down the road, which is perfect for dog watching. I leave at 7am, and I’m back by 11am each day. I do boarding, play dates, pickups, drop-ins, and trips to the dog park. I have a fenced-in yard, so your dog may play, run, or simply get some fresh air. I spend my time walking dogs, feeding them, playing, cuddling, kisses, relaxing on the porch and constantly opening and closing the door so they can go outside. Ha! It’s my life, and I truly love it.

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love being around them. I also went to dog grooming school and am certified in dog CPR, so I have experience safely handling all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from big energetic dogs to little ones and seniors who need some extra patience. I’ll always treat your dog like I would my own and make sure they’re safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention! I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I love being active and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m happy to work around your pets normal schedule whenever possible. Making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable is always my first priority. My training at Midwest School of Dog Grooming taught me proper handling and safety techniques for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also attended dog safety seminars and am dog CPR certified. I’ll respect your pets routine, your home, and any specific instructions you leave for me

About: I'm Julie (Jules), a graphic designer and creative director. I own a design and branding company in the Chicago/Milwaukee area that services clients locally, nationally and globally. I love all creative pursuits, including writing music for piano and singing. I've always loved all dogs, especially larger breeds (though the smaller pups are super cute and sweet and steal my heart equally!). My pup, Bella, a black lab mix, was a very kind, sweet and gentle dog. She passed in 2016 at age 14, having had a very nice life. I would love to help other fur babies who need caregiving while their humans are away or need a daily walk or check-in. I'm at home working during the week and have access to a wonderful backyard, an amazing neighborhood, and parks nearby. I love all outdoor activities, especially hiking and swimming. Would love to take your pups to the beach or on any sized walk they desire!! :) I offer these services because I love dogs, not to make a living. It's a great win/win to have a sweet fur baby around from time to time. Yes, it's nice to have some extra cash to work on the house, but my primary career more than covers my income needs. I share this info so you can be sure no other dogs will share your pup's time with me.* I keep to a strict policy of one-on-one care and up to two dogs from the same family... if you have more than two, please reach out, and I may be able to make exceptions. My rates reflect this customized care and focus for your sweet puppers! *In mid-2024, I started pairing up dogs that requested having another pup present from a different family. Please let me know if you are open to having a playmate for your pup. If you prefer no other dogs in the home while yours is here with me, I strictly adhere to your preferences and take this quite seriously. I specialize in customized care for dogs with behavioral issues such as not getting along with other dogs. Since my dog passed in 2016, I have been able to devote all my time to your pup when they're in my care. They will be carefully cared for and pampered, with every need catered to. The only thing I won't abide is a pup who isn't house-trained. If your dog/pup has never been left with a sitter before and you'd like to ensure they're a great house guest, I do suggest booking a 1-2 night stay much in advance of your trip so we can see if your pup has any specific issues to call out, and if I'm a good fit for them/you. I have found this to be of great benefit to you and me! I charge a cleaning fee IF your pup has "surprise" issues with incontinence, as this behavior can happen; however, I don't take on dogs with this issue unless we have a solution, like a doggy diaper or pee pads (for puppies). Severe separation anxiety can also be challenging, as my own pup had this issue. If there are situations such as this, I ask that you bring a crate, and the pup must be trained and be OK to be in their crate as needed. If no issues like these exist, they need to have their own bed or spot where they like to sleep. I don't allow dogs to sleep upstairs with me. Snuggling up on the sofa with a couple of pups is one of my favorite things to do. I know most dogs like a comfy bed. As noted above, please bring a fresh bed for your pet, either a cleaned dog bed from home or a new one. I have blankets for the floor and a lovely sofa that I cover with a blanket for the occasional daytime snooze. If you have an elderly dog, I know just what to do to provide the best care. As my dog Bella aged, I learned how to adapt every year. Listening to your dog and providing the best care is my priority. I realized that leaving an ailing or elderly pup in another person's care can be stressful. I would treat your dog like my own and hope to put your mind at rest. I welcome all questions as part of our meet + greet. I only sit for dogs I know or can meet during our meet + greet (unless out-of-town circumstances or timing prevail). I can sit at the last minute only for pups I've sat for previously or know well. If you are traveling from out of town and cannot sync up for a meet + greet, please reach out to discuss your situation. As far as breeds go, I have experience with an extensive range of breeds—larger breeds with special needs like an elevated dog water/food bowl due to how they process food or other breeds that are great with humans and not so wonderful with other dog breeds. I've had great results with training. I have experience with smaller breeds as well. As mentioned, I only sit for house-trained and well-behaved dogs in the home. I book up early... sometimes six months before a planned trip. Please plan ahead to secure your desired dates. I look forward to meeting your amazing pups soon!! Jules I'm home most of the time. I work days and some evenings but make my own schedule. I'm available as needed for all types of customized care. I have a lovely yard for dog play. I would love the same situation if I were dog-sitting in your home. My home is also in a very safe Hales Corners neighborhood. It has a low volume of car traffic and is very quiet.

“Sarah was great with my two dogs. I received several pictures of the dogs and daily updates from Sarah. My two dogs, can be somewhat of a challenge to walk around my apartment community with how many other dogs and people there are and Sarah did a great job handling them. I would recommend her to watch your dogs and your home!”

About: Hey there!! I’m a passionate animal lover with a deep dedication to providing the best care for all pets. I believe in making each pet feel cared for and comfortable, adapting to their unique needs. I previously cared for an Australian Shepherd (little guy in the costume) for over two years, so I understand the bond and love that is necessary to each fur baby. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I’d be honored to give them all the love and attention they deserve! I am currently working from home and am working on my nursing degree. I am able to accept all time slots of early mornings and afternoons during the week and weekends! I currently do not have any pets here in my apartment but if needed, I have lots of living room space for running and stretching. As well as lots of time to hang out outside in our nearby parks and small trails around the apartment complex. :)

“We are a repeat customer and highly recommend Kya. We know when we leave our 16 yr old deaf pug with her, she will be in good hands. We love Kya’s updates when we are gone and especially the photos she shares of our little fur baby.”

About: Hi, I'm Chelly! I've always been an animal lover and have had the privilege of loving and caring for so many fur babies at Yuppy Puppy in Lake Bluff for about 2 years! I'm based in the Lake County and North Shore area, but if you're a bit farther out, don't worry, I'm always open to finding the perfect fit. Whether your pup needs a walk, your cat wants a friendly check-in, or you need someone to house sit while you're away, I am ready to help! I love working with animals of all ages and backgrounds, playful puppies, curious kittens, wise seniors, and even pets who need medications or a little extra love. I'm here to attend to your pets and your needs as an owner! :) I have a dog of my own, a sweet doodle named Bambi, and she ignites my love for dogs every single day. I know your pet is truly family and I promise to care for them as if they were my own, showering them with love and sending you plenty of photos so you always know how they're doing. 🐾 ♡ I have a flexible afternoon schedule to fit all pet parent needs! I am currently a student in online school, and work as an RBT from 8:15 - 3:15. I'm always willing to try and accommodate as much as possible, so don't be afraid to ask. :) When I’m house sitting, my goal is for your pet to feel like they’re hanging out with a friend, not just someone filling in. I pay close attention to the little rituals, favorite toys, bedtime snuggles, and those everyday quirks that mean so much to your pet. I’ll do my best to keep their world steady and familiar, so they can truly relax while you’re away. Your home will be treated with respect, and your furry companion will get plenty of love until you return. I always pay attention to detail, making sure doors are secure, gates are latched, and your pet can explore safely. Whether we’re out for a sunny walk or just lounging at home, I’m watching for every tail wag, ear perk, or sign that your pet needs something. With experience caring for both mellow seniors and energetic pups, I’m flexible and patient, ready to adapt to whatever makes your pet happiest. Your pet will always be treated like family! :)
