House Sitting in Lake Dalecarlia

“Hannah was great with our 10 week old puppy, Bear! She has lots of pet experience, so I felt confident leaving my puppy for the first time with her. Bear was a happy boy when we got home. Bear and I would love to have Hannah watch him again!”

“Ashley is so sweet! She took great care of my Blue. Blue can be a handful but she handled her just fine! I appreciate her keeping me posted on a regular basis and I would definitely recommend her! Thank you so much for everything! 🥰🥰”

“Sabrina was amazing with my pups. Sabrina was very professional. Sabrina was quick to respond to messages and work with us on such short notice. If your looking for the perfect sitter, look no further than Sabrina.”

“Stephanie it was awesome! We were so grateful that she was available last minute when our original sitter no-showed for the meet and greet. We were able to give her a virtual tour of the house and she was on time, clean, and checked in. Everything we could’ve asked for.”

Cally S.

“Alexandria was awesome! We used her for overnight stays. She kept in contact with us during her stay. Jack, Tequila & Moo all seemed to love her! Tequila is almost 18 and needed oral medication and she administered it without any issues. The house was very clean and probably in better condition then we left it. We definitely will be using her again!”

About: While I do not have professional dog care experience, I was placed in charge of caring for my old boss's dogs (Black Lab and Great Dane), one of which I helped raise from a puppy. I have learned how to crate train, as well. I have also cared for family and friends' dogs, including overnight stays and administering medicines. I am primarily available in the early morning or late afternoon - evening. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays would be the best days to schedule with me! I make sure that my cats get enough attention, and have plenty of toys to occupy them. I am also working on crate training my cat so she'll stop clawing up our furniture. My cats are fed daily with occasional treats if they've been behaving. their litter boxes are cleaned daily, as well. When I care for a client's pets, I will take care of them in the way that their owner would care for them, but with a touch of how I would, as well.

“Erin did an amazing job! She was sooo very good with Kash and kept me updated with not only pictures but videos as well. I’d highly recommend her to anyone! ?”

About: I’ve taken care of many types of animals growing up from horses to cat and dogs. I’m very confident in walking any dog any size, since in my school we’ve learned to adjust and adapt on animals behavior. I also can do any grooming needed (nails, brush teeth, bathe) if you can’t or too wary. I’ve also have well experience in cats. Ive owned cats since I was 15 so if needed I can also do any grooming needs as well. With senior dogs I know they may be more work than a normal dog but I’m up to the task without a second thought! I’ve had much experience with senior dogs. I understand that having animal comes with time management and that’s where I can help! I am current in vet tech school so I have the weekends available and Friday after 4:30pm. I am also willing to go after school mon-Friday after 4:30pm. For the animals in my house they get treated just like a member of the family! I make sure my cat and dog are always content, I take my dog out on daily walks and ensure my cat gets his daily play time. For the animals of your home they will be treated just the same.

“As always, Jennifer took fantastic care of our babies. She spends so much quality time with them. sends pictures, and even got our senior kitty to sleep on her lap!! It's evident the care she takes and how much she enjoys helping.”

Natalie H.

“Cailin was so sweet! She sent tons of pictures and spoiled our big baby! We came home to a clean house and happy lab! We will definitely use Cailin again! Thank you!”

About: I was once a groomer and I have experiences with many type of dogs. I took care of newborn puppies many times as my parents breed the dogs at times I walk my dog constantly as I love and enjoy going on walks and I take care of dogs as a Kennel attendant at a vet I play with dogs and enjoy them. I love having them enjoy themselves and letting them take their time to know me and not forcing them to get used to me

About: I’ve lived with and cared for dog my whole life, from labs, Great Pyreneeses, mutts, and others in between! I have supported my hometown neighbors with caring for their animals, whether that’s by walking, feeding, bathing, administering medication - I’m comfortable with it all. Over the past 7 years I have been a mom to two cats and have helped friends and family care for their felines. I truly believe our pets are family to us and I treat all animals with all the love and care they deserve 🤍 I’m currently working part time, so I have flexibility in my schedule to help care for your furry friends! I currently reside in Northwest Indiana and work on the southside of Chicago on Thursdays and Fridays, but if you are needing my services I’m open to discussing how I can meet your scheduling needs 😊 I am not currently offering care for animals in my home due to my two year old cat who has not quite yet met other animals. However I am more capable of caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home.

About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, I was actually raised on a farm! We spent mornings caring for the horses, chickens, pigs, etc. We’ve always had dogs in the home, and in my eyes, pets are just an extension to the family! I have experience with reptiles, birds (I have a cockatiel named Mila), and other exotics as well. I work Monday-Friday 9a-5p. I’m available all day on the weekends. During the week, I’m available early mornings before I head to the office, and anytime after 5pm. My pets are my children, and I will treat yours with the same amount of love, play, and attention that they deserve! While I’m not an experienced trainer, I strongly believe that any training you have in place should be respected, and upheld while you’re away. With direction, I would be happy to do just that!
