Dog Sitting Lemont

About: I had the same dog since I was 9 years old, who passed away a year ago due to cancer. Now that I don’t have him with me, I’d love to show your dog the same attention as I wish I could give mine! Whether that be walks, cuddles, or some extra attention, I’d be more than willing to help! Trust me when I say I’d be just as happy to see your dog, as they will be to see me! I work an 8 am to 4 pm job during the week. On a weekday I’d be willing to see your dog before work, after work, or evenings! And have open availability on the weekends for any time! I will always pay attention to what your dog needs while you’re not there. This includes fill water bowls, food if needed, clean their paws after walks, and change pee pads if needed! I have experience with cleaning up pet waste accidents inside the home and I will always clean up their toys before I go so it’s tidy when you come back!

“Great dog sitter. Reliable and responsive. Thank you!”

About: I have worked for two zoos, 2 emergency clinics and hospitals that focused on cat, dog and exotics from rabbits, guinea pigs, snakes, geckos, tarantulas, ferrets, beardies, chinchillas, fennecs, prairie dogs, birds, axolotls, ect. I have training in senior cat and dog care and animal behavior training as well as vaccine and injection experience. I graduated from Joliet Junior College as a Veterinary Technician and I have petsat many dogs, cats, herps and small mammals. I'm strict with lists and rules and I love playing and giving treats. All animals are my friends including your tarantula! I love working with animals and I love working with pet parents. I have a large reference sheet with people who swear by me and know that their furry (or scalie) family member is in caring, professional, loving hands. If you're looking for a trusted, well rounded, experienced vet tech, then I'm your sitter!! If you don't like leaving your baby home alone, ask me about boarding!! I board ***most*** exotics and cats! (I don't board dogs, birds, aquatics, or larger exotics, please ask me for details) I will talk to you first to make sure my schedule fits into your animals' needs. If my schedule does not match your pets' needs, then I will kindly decline your offer as your pets' needs come before me. I want to see you matched with the best sitter you can find. I will sit for your furry (or scalie) baby at your own home, so your rules are law! If your doggy needs to be crated, I will do that! If your kitty needs insulin shots, I have experience in that! Does your baby need 500 mLs of fluid? You're in the right hands! Does your flowers need to be watered? Tell me what a hydrangea looks like and I will water it!!

About: Animal and Pet Experience: I currently volunteer weekly at a cat shelter where I interact with and take care of a wide range of cats. I absolutely adore working there and have always been an animal lover! I've owned and taken care of a variety of pets throughout my life, including cats, dogs, gerbils, and at one point in my adolescence, a toad. I love and am capable of taking care of a wide range of animals. All of the cats I grew up with had feline leukemia, leading them to require extra care and medication. I am known for being very gentle and patient, and will give your beloved pet lots of attention, care, and cuddles. :) Flexibility/Location/Hours: I am very flexible in terms of pricing, hours, location, and last-minute bookings or cancellations. I know how chaotic life can be and how valuable flexibility is, especially when it comes to the care of our pets. I am willing to negotiate, make adjustments as needed, and will prioritize the best and most stress-free experience for you and your pets. General Qualities: I am a very fast learner, rule-follower, and problem-solver, and will not hesitate to communicate or ask questions if I have them. I want nothing but the best possible experience for you, the owner, and your beloved pets, as I know how much value they bring to a household. I am always happy and quick to communicate if you have any questions or concerns. I promise your furry friend is in good hands! I am currently in the market for an animal-related job, and I am waiting to hear back from several dog kennels and pet stores. In the meantime, Rover is my priority for income and further animal experience. On Monday nights, from 6-8 pm, I typically have a prior commitment, but it can easily be adjusted or joined virtually. For now, animal care and pet-sitting are my number one priority. I do not offer pet sitting at my home, but I am very flexible in terms of location and hours to do what is best for your pet at your own home. I can provide additional treats and toys if allowed or preferred, and will prioritize the safety and care of your pet. I will follow the rules and schedule that are provided and will update you with any questions, concerns, or updates. My main priority is providing safe, stress-free, reliable care that is personalized for your household and pet to your standards and expectations.

“I know Millie is in good hands when Jessica comes over. Jessica will always leave me a note and pictures of Millie which I am grateful for. She is reliable and prompt and takes great care of our fur baby.”

About: I’ve taken care of senior dogs who had trouble seeing and walking, cleaned up after them, and handled puppies as young as 1 week old. I’ve worked with dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes, so no pet is too small or too big for me. I work part time so my availability changes week to week depending on my shifts, but I always know my schedule in advance so I’ll be upfront with you about when I’m available before we book anything. Pet care is something I take seriously so I make sure I’m not overcommitting if I say I’m available, I mean it. On days I’m not working I’m pretty much free for most of the day. Morning and evening availability is usually the most consistent for me regardless of whether I have a shift. I’ll always communicate with you ahead of time if anything changes and I’m not the type to leave you hanging last minute. I care for my own cat Simba daily, keeping him engaged and comfortable, the same attention and energy I’ll bring to your pet. In your home I’ll handle feeding, playtime, cleaning up any messes, and anything else your pet needs.

“Desiree is so great! I felt super relaxed on my trip knowing she was checking on my cats. My cats really seemed to feel comfortable with her too, even my really nervous cat! Absolutely recommend, and will rebook in the future :)”

“During the meet and greet, Blue took an instant liking to Kisha which was great to see. Kisha sent us pictures for every visit and we felt very confident that Blue was in good hands. This was our first time using a service like this and Kisha made the experience a positive one and we look forward to using Kisha in the future.”

About: I love dogs. A few years ago our family’s dog, Lacy passed away at 13 years old. She was a beautiful black and white English springer spaniel. She was so fun, energetic, and sweet. She’s missed everyday. We’re not ready to get another dog yet but since I love being around dogs I thought that caring for dogs would be a fun thing to do. I’ve had experience taking care of my family’s dog for 10 years. Growing up with her, I took Lacy for walks, fed, played with, and cared for her. I’ve house sat my cousins 3 dogs a couple times, whenever they go on vacation for one to two weeks at a time. I’ve also done day visits for one of their neighbors dogs whenever they go on work trips for a few days. I’m looking forward to walking and spending time with your dog(s)! I currently am in between jobs and I’m looking for part time work. I thought dog walking/sitting would be a nice temporary job since I love dogs. I would follow my clients instructions for the care of their dog and the dogs needs. This would include their nutritional needs as well as exercise and play time.

“Anna has been amazing to coordinate with and scheduling drop in visits on our 4 month old puppy during our long work days. She is excellent with communicating with us and has made us feel completely safe with entrusting the care of our puppy to her. We will continue to use Anna for our future pet care needs.”

“So glad we found Danielle! She is very prompt & truly is a dog person & cares about her 4 legged clients!”

About: I grew up with many animals and have always loved caring for them and spending time with them. We have been caring for dogs and cats through Rover for many years and strive to offer top-notch pet sitting in a calm, loving home environment. We live a healthy lifestyle and provide high-quality treats, plenty of affection, and lots of one-on-one attention. Our home is relaxed and comfortable, which helps make the transition from your home to ours as smooth and stress-free as possible. We usually care for only one dog at a time, with two being our maximum. This allows us to treat your dog like part of the family while giving them plenty of space to rest, play, and settle in at their own pace. I work from home Monday through Friday from the living room, so I’m always nearby to keep an eye on the dogs and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. We start our mornings around 6 AM with a walk, followed by breakfast and nap time. Throughout the day, dogs are let out into the yard often for potty breaks, fresh air, and outdoor time. In the evenings, we like to relax together with some playtime, usually fetch or tug, before everyone settles in for the night. Our home is relaxed, quiet, and calm. We are usually home throughout the day, aside from the occasional trip to the store or gym, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, companionship, and care. Our belief is that a fulfilled dog is a good dog. We understand that every dog is unique and may need different forms of stimulation, affection, structure, and rest. We love getting to know each dog’s personality and finding what helps them feel happiest, safest, and most comfortable while they’re with us. We have two female dogs, Maya and Mabel. Both of our pups are crate trained, well socialized, and love meeting new friends. For everyone’s comfort and safety, we use gates when needed and always separate Maya and Mabel from other dogs during feeding time.

About: Cat owner with two cats experienced in feeding with special diets, litter care, and administering oral medications. Comfortable with shy, playful, or senior pets, providing calm, attentive, reliable in-home care. I also have a medium size pet stroller for cats (or dogs) who like the fresh air but aren’t too interested in walking! My schedule is pretty flexible allowing me to work from home when needed. I’m able to provide pet care, cuddles, feedings, walks, etc during the day and evenings I’m more than happy to meet up with first time clients and their pets to see if we’re a good match before initial sitting. If you’re pressed for time and can’t meet up, please be sure to send me detailed instructions. Photo references help too! Let me know about any special diet, medication, quirks, favorite toys, and favorite spots for walks. Anything else you can think of let me know! I want to do my best to ensure your pet feels comfortable when I stop in. And yes I’ll send you pics of your baby while you’re away!
