House Sitting in Lake Barrington

“Danette did an absolutely wonderful job caring for our 2 boys (Eddie, a 10 YO deaf English Bull Terrier and Atlas, a 15 YO cat) while we were away. We were nervous to leave them for such a long time, considering they are both older, and have some special needs/requirements. The peace of mind Danette gave us was priceless. She was very communicative and gave us updates and photos from every visit! She followed our fussy and detailed instructions, and was so kind throughout the whole process. We highly recommend Danette, and she will be our first choice if we ever need a sitter again in the future!”

“Erika did a great job sitting for our 2 dogs in our home. The dogs liked her, and she seemed to like them.. She sent pictures regularly. Our house was clean and tidy when we got home. Our greyhound, a picky eater, ate all of her meals. We got a full report from Erika at the end of her stay. It was so nice not to worry about our dogs or our home when we were gone for 6 nights.”

“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.”

“Jennifer did a wonderful job caring for our 3 dogs and 3 cats while we were gone for the week. Jennifer sent daily updates and pictures and was immediately responsive to our texts. We returned to a happy crew and clean house. She even checked in a few days later to see how the animals were adjusting. We will use her again and you should too!!!”

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!

“Iryna did an amazing job and took great care of my pet!”

“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.”

“Aury was super with our dogs - we have one that is very nervous and still new to our apartment and she was able to immediately win him over. She kept us informed during the whole time we were out and we couldn’t have been happier with her!”

“Ida is the best sitter on the planet. She took the best care of our lab mix, sent photos and videos the whole time and took great care of our home while she stayed for 4 days. We had some flight delays and Ida helped us last minute by staying an extra night and moving her own plans around. She is 11/10 and I trust her with our pup, home, and everything in between. Highly highly recommend!”

About: I've worked for a dog walking company, wrangled ferrets, and outsmarted wily cats. With nearly a decade of pet sitting experience I'm ready for just about anything your furry friend can throw at me. I'm adept at problem solving and can meet your pet where they need me to be. I have experience administering medication and coaxing the anxious and stubborn out of their shells. I am free most days in the morning and the afternoon if you need a walker quickly. My schedule is flexible and I am willing to work with clients to meet their needs. I will follow any instructions clients give for how much freedom they want their pets to have. I usually like to keep them in sight or in an enclosed area like a fenced in yard when not out on a walk. I like playing and keeping them entertained or sitting quietly together if they're tired. It mostly depends on the energy levels and temperament of each individual.

“Noemi was great. Punctual. Sent updates with pictures. Dogs seemed calm and content when I came back from vacation. Will definitely book her again!”

Dawn J.

“Tania was outstanding! She did a great job w/ our pup and our house. Good w/ communication as well while we were gone. Would hire her again.”

Bob B.

“Joseph was great with our dogs, they were in a great mood when we got home! Good communicator and house sitter. He’s stayed with our dogs twice now and we will definitely book him 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.

“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!”

Leah F.

“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!”

Chance U.

“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!”
