Dog Sitting in Lemont

“Kelly was great with our cat while we were away! She made sure to give our cat lots of love and playtime, and sent updates with great photos everyday to keep us at ease when away!”

Rosie C.

“Samantha did a great job. My kitties seemed more content and less stressed when I came home from trip. My house also wasn't a mess like it has been with other sitters.”

Michele B.

“Isabella did a great job taking care of our two cats for the week that we were away. She was flexible when we needed to change the visit schedule and we were very appreciative of that. We highly recommend!”

Morgan E.

“Katherine was great with my pet cat. Always on time and thoughtful with her visits. Highly recommend!”

“Virginia is amazing! We have four cats with four big personalities, so leaving for extended periods is always tough. In our first meet and greet Virginia was very caring and attentive. While we were away on our trip we received daily updates with pics, videos, and sweet details about each cat for their daily hourly visit with Virginia. It felt comforting knowing they were well taken care of and appreciated for their quirks. We highly recommend Virginia and will definitely ask her to watch our cats again!”

About: I've had at least one Labrador Retriever as a family member for most of my life. When I'm walking in the neighborhood, I'll cross the street to say hello to any dog I see. I am retired, but I paint watercolor portraits of special animals by commission out of my home studio. I'm mostly retired now, and I no longer have a dog as a family member, so I'm avaiable most days for pet care when I am in town. I'm mostly interested in dog walking and dog day care. I am not able to do drop-in or day care at night, and I cannot accommodate dogs a my home overnight.

“Professional from intro to daily visits. Highly recommended.”

About: I have been caring for small to large-sized dogs since 2018, providing reliable pet care for roommates, neighbors, and co-workers. My experience includes walking dogs for exercise and bathroom breaks, ensuring they receive proper feeding and fresh water, and administering oral medication as needed. I am also experienced in caring for cats, including feeding and oral medication administration. I prioritize each pet’s comfort, safety, and well-being while ensuring they receive the attention they need. Whether it's daily care or special instructions, I am committed to providing responsible and loving pet care. As a graduate student with a research schedule from 9 AM to 5 PM, I offer flexible pet care to accommodate your needs. I can make morning visits to check in on your pet(s) and provide extra attention after my workday. On weekends, I have significantly more availability and can dedicate most or even the entire day to ensuring your pet(s) receive the care, companionship, and attention they deserve. Whether it's walks, feeding, or playtime, I’ll make sure your furry friend feels comfortable and cared for while you're away! I can provide additional walks if they have extra energy to burn, engage in playtime to keep them active and entertained, and brush their fur to keep them feeling their best. Of course, plenty of petting and attention are always included to ensure they feel safe and loved while you're away!

“Elisabeth was fantastic taking care of our 2 dogs (8 months and 12 years old). She was very focused on making certain every wish we had for taking care of them, was honored. She was also very flexible when we asked her if we could change our originally scheduled times. I would highly recommend her for taking care of your pet(s).”

“Bailee was great! She cared for Roc & Cookie and spent tons of time with them. That was great since they are high energy dogs who love people. She went above and beyond and we couldn’t be happier with how Bailee took care of our fur babies!!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and deep understanding of animal care. I’ve worked in the animal field for over six years, including a year at an animal shelter where I cared for cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and behavior types. I’m currently a veterinary assistant, so I’m confident handling medical needs when it come administering medications and recognizing signs of illness or distress. Whether it’s caring for playful puppies, senior pets with special needs, or nervous rescues, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to each animal’s personality. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. It’s not just a job, but something I genuinely enjoy. Between working as a veterinary assistant and caring for my own pets, I’m constantly surrounded by animals. Feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, or just giving extra cuddles, it all fits into my day with purpose and care I care for my own pets and client pets by providing plenty of enrichment and paying close attention to their individual needs. Whether it’s interactive play, mental stimulation, or simply understanding their body language, I make sure each pet feels safe, engaged, and cared for in a way that suits their unique personality. I care for every clients pet like my own, making sure they feel comfortable and loved.

About: Pets are family to me! From my sweet senior gentleman dog, Dug, to energetic tiny terrors, I’ve handled it all with patience and care. Friends and family rely on me to walk, feed, and spend quality time with their pets. Whether your pet needs structured routine or just a buddy to hang out with, I’m here to help. I’m a PhD student with a flexible schedule. I have a dog of my own who loves hanging with other dogs if that’s something your pet might be into! I can provide any type of care needed at your home, including getting dogs to feel safe in their crate. I also live very close to a large dog park and am happy to take your dogs there if they like socializing!

About: I have worked with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, Im not afraid of the teething stages or having to give the old guys a boost up the stairs. My most notable qualities are responsibility and respect; that goes for your home and your pets. I want to make them feel comfortable with a new face and some attention while you’re away! My current work schedule changes week to week but I am very flexible with hours for the days marked available on my calendar. Im comfortable getting up early before work to get their day started. I am available for walking, feeding, play-time, etc. I am unable to keep pets in my apartment at this time but can bring them to hiking trails or dog parks for exercise at your request. I can also keep them comfortable in your home/yard space.

“Katherine did an amazing job caring for my two cats Kylo and Ketchup. She went above and beyond to care for them. She took the time to cuddle with them on the couch during her drop ins. I received pictures daily and ketchup (who is always hiding from others) even came out to hang out with Katherine! ?”

“Ruth did a great job with directions and communication. I looked forward to her daily updates and felt comfortable that everything my cat needed would be taken care of.”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life. I grew up with a German Shorthair Pointer as a family dog, so high energy is nothing new to me. I have senior dog experience that includes medication administration (including oral, topical, and injectables), palliative care, and hospice care. I have worked with dogs that do not have the use of their back legs, and dogs who have to wear diapers and need assistance using the restroom. I am a high school senior with early release. I can be out of school as soon as 11:15 to care for your pet. I do not have a fenced yard. I love to play with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. I will walk whatever animal that you need, I am also able to take them on hikes if that is something there is interest in. I often care for farm animals including horses and cows, so I am available to care for them as well.

About: I consistently care for friends' dogs at college, so I'm used to handling a wide range of breeds, personalities, and routines. I also have two dogs of my own back home, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I treat every dog like they're family—because that’s how I’d want mine to be treated! I live in Long Beach Island during the weekends over the summer. I am completely available Friday nights to midday Sunday. Apart from living at the beach, I will be living in NYC this summer from Monday-Friday while I intern at a large financial bank. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and of course, lots of love and attention. I always make sure their space stays clean and cozy—whether it’s tidying up litter boxes, wiping paws, or giving them a comfy spot to relax. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they know their furry friend is doing great!

About: Dogs are such wonderful animals! I will take good care of your pup and be sure to spoil it with toys and walks. I know how hard it is leaving your pet while you are away, and will share pictures of your pet every day with you. I am self-employed and my schedule is very flexible, and I often work from home. Also, I'm pretty sure my two teenage kids would be involved with spoiling your pet as well. Luckily, I have a two-story duplex, so if there is a problem between my pets and yours, there is plenty of safe place. Also, I live near a park with lots of space to run.

About: I was raised with a multitude of animals, including small and large breed dogs. I have puppy experience as well as medication administration. Currently I’m a fur momma to a large and medium sized dog. I’m currently working part time and have a wide range of availability. Also available for weekends and holidays or for drop in services and walks. I offer services at your home. At this time, I’m unable to spend overnights in your home, but can provide multiple visits a day. I provide safe care when taking on walks, potty breaks, and feeding. I can provide medication administration as well.

About: I’ve taken care of many types of pets, ranging from hamsters to horses. I am willing to work with you and your furry friend to make sure everyone has the best experience possible! I am currently a high school senior, but I am available to hang out with your pet any weekday evening, or anytime on the weekends. The most important thing to me is comfort, so I do all that I can to make sure that your pet is comfortable and feels safe and loved. I won’t force them to be my friend, but I will give them as much love and attention as they want.
