House Sitting in Lincolnwood

About: Hi there! My name is Nicky (he/they) and I’ve been taking care of pets for my neighbors, friends, and family members for upwards of a decade and am commonly regarded as the go-to sitter in my community. I strive to treat every pet (and owner) with the utmost respect and kindness, and I’ll follow your instructions to a T! (The T stands for toe beans 🤓) Currently unemployed due to layoffs in my industry, so I’ll be able to give your fur bestie as much attention as possible! I can do overnights, multiple nights in a row, or just a drop-in/walk; whatever you need - I got you! :) I have a fenced yard in front of my apartment complex so your fur bestie can run free and tire themselves out before beddybye! I can crate your pup if you provide one or they can get some shut-eye on the couch or wherever they’re comfy!

“Joey took amazing care of my leash reactive 75 lb pup. He also fed the fish and took great care of my home while I was gone as well. 10/10 would definitely use again.”

“Melanie was AMAZING with our two dogs. Both of our dogs can be a bit of a handful with guests or new people, and she took it with stride and made them relaxed and happy all weekend long! Melanie took great care of the house too, and kept us updated with pictures and videos. She even had to help give some pills to our dog who had a tooth injury right before our trip, and she was a huge help there! We can’t wait to work with Melanie again!”

“This is our second time having Adam stay at our house. Our dog, Oliver, absolutely loves having him here. Oliver is an anxious dude and Adam def made us all feel less worried about Oliver while we were out of town. Super appreciative.”

“Andrew did a great job with updating us on how our pets were doing. Kratos seemed to enjoy his company. Overall very satisfied with his care and Andrew went above and beyond what we asked of him.”

Emilia G.

“Our pup was in good hands with Renee. We have an anxious dog who doesn't do well with boarding, so it was essential to find someone to stay with her in our home. Renee took good care of her and the house, and provided lots of updates for us so that we could enjoy vacation knowing all was well back home. I would recommend her without reservation.”

“Tiffany did a wonderful job taking care of my anxious dog Churro! My house was spotless when I got home and she sent regular photos and updates, and handled his medication schedule too. He was happy and well cared for all week. Churro and I look forward to working with Tiffany again!”

“Tammy was a fantastic sitter for my cat Solana! She was so kind and asked all detailed questions about my cat’s medication and food schedule. I loved all the picture updates she gave of how my cat was doing while I was out of town. Thank you Tammy!”

“Adriana loves cats and it shows as she took great care of our 4 cats while away. She's responsible, sent us pictures of the cats each day, and communicated with us the whole time. She followed a specific feeding routine to a tee (we have 3 cats who all have to be fed separately) and kept them with full water bowls.”

Jesse S.

“Emily is communicative, trustworthy, and compassionate. During her first stay with our dog and two cats, she handled a vet emergency responsibly and with grace. We’re very happy to recommend her services!”

Courtney N.

“Vasilisa looked after our 11 month old puppy ‘Happy’—and was just perfect! She really tuned into our pup’s energy and managed her routine like a champ. It was Happys first time being away from us and Vasilisa could not have been kinder or more patient. Thank you V!!!!”

“Emily was incredible. She didn’t just watch my dog, she cared for him like he was her own and treated my home with the same thoughtfulness and respect. From the moment they met, my dog was instantly comfortable with her. She played with him, took him on walks and runs, and gave him all the snuggles and attention he could possibly want. She sent tons of photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. But what really made her stand out is how considerate she was with my home. Everything was spotless when I returned, and she even stayed until I got back so he didn’t have to be alone. I walked into a sweet welcome note and fresh flowers, such a thoughtful touch and a truly warm homecoming. I cannot recommend Emily highly enough. She is attentive, trustworthy, incredibly kind, and clearly loves what she does. I’d book her again in a heartbeat!.”

“Anana took wonderful care of my dogs. Communication between us was excellent and my dogs were clearly taken excellent care of while I was away She also left my house in perfect condition. Highly recommend.”

Barbara B.

“Iwona and her husband did a wonderful job taking care of my diabetic pug. He requires daily insulin and eye meds, and they were careful about following the instructions perfectly. They kept me up to date, sent pics, and left my place clean. I highly recommend and trust them.”

Melinda G.

“Mads was AWESOME with Daisy Mae, our 80 lb. Bloodhound. Daisy can be quite a handful at times! Mads was great with communicating, keeping her entertained, and she sent us several photos throughout our trip. We knew we could rest easy and relax knowing Daisy was in good hands. We highly recommend her.”

Dan G.

“Tanisa is the best! She watched my 2 dog boys at my house for the weekend and it couldn't have been more perfect. Even my skittish, near-sighted husky mix sat in her lap! We can't wait to have her again!”

K N.

“Mack was great!! They provided lots of pictures and updates and left my apartment nice and tidy. So happy that my kitty was well taken-care of while I was away.”

Natalie L.

“Claude took care of my bernese mountain dog Glen Coco in my home while I was away on vacation, and they were an incredible caretaker for my girl. Glen Coco can be nervous with new people and hasn’t stayed with a non-relative in over 5 years, but she warmed up to Claude immediately at our meet-and-greet, and from the photos they sent, it was very obvious that Glen Coco was super happy and comfortable during the entire stay. Claude was very thorough in their communication and provided lots of great updates during my week away. They went above and beyond in their care for Glen Coco, spent lots of time loving on her, and made sure any issues were addressed promptly. They were also super respectful of my space and left my home in great condition. I will happily book them again for future stays!”

“Andre was phenomenal! He was extremely attentive to our two pups and very communicative as well. He noticed when Griffy wasn’t finishing his meals and went the extra mile to make sure he got his medications every day. We loved the picture updates as well. He even stayed a little longer due to our return flight being delayed! Highly recommend :) Thank you so much!”

Samantha F.

“Jenna was an amazing sitter and very flexible with our confusing schedules. She watched our two pups for 6 days and they were happy as pie when we got home. She sent us cute pictures during our stay to ease my mind! When our flight was canceled and we had to stay away another day she was able to accommodate us which was a heaven sent. The dogs were taking medicine for a cold when we left and she gave it to them no problem. We would definitely ask her to stay with them next time we are away!”
