Pet Sitting Lincolnwood

About: Available for walks and drop in visits. I offer competitive pricing and will give your pet the same attention you would. Your four legged friend will get the best possible care and love. Reliable, on time, mature and able to handle anything that might come up. I’ve raised both cats and dogs in a loving environment for many years. I’m highly available for updates via cell phone or email so you never have to feel out of touch or worried. References available on request. Feel free to reach out. Glad to help out! I’m recently retired so I have maximum flexibility in my schedule. Last minute walks are welcome and flexible with last minute changes in your schedule. Able to manage large and small dogs. I’ve gained additional insight as a volunteer at CARE Animal Shelter in Skokie. Comfortable working with crated dogs as well.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets in many different life stages and personalities. I have a 15 year old senior Chihuahua who has been through surgeries and illnesses, and through attentive care, patience, daily walks, and lots of love, she is still healthy, happy, and strong today. I also rescued an adult cat from the street who is now around 3–4 years old. Helping him adjust taught me patience, understanding, and how important it is to make animals feel safe and comfortable. In addition, I have an energetic 8-month-old kitten who keeps me active and experienced with younger pets as well. I am also a runner who’s ran the Chicago marathon, I am prepared to keep up with high energy pups! My pets are truly my family, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals. Under my care, your pets will be treated with the same patience, attention, love, and priority that I give my own. I am available most days of the week for walks and drop-in visits, for house sitting I am mostly available on weekends. I keep my schedule updated daily :) I will care for your pet in your home and always follow your instructions carefully to maintain their normal routine and comfort. I understand how important it is to keep things consistent for animals, so I will make sure to follow all feeding schedules, care notes, and any special directions you provide. I will also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away, including messages, photos, and any important notes about how your pet is doing. My goal is to keep you fully informed and reassured. Most importantly, I will care for your pet in the environment where they feel safest and most comfortable, your home, so they can stay relaxed, secure, and stress-free while receiving attentive and loving care.

About: I have had a variety of pets and have cared for a variety of animals (dogs, cats, birds and a turtle). A variety of breeds and ages. I am available most weekdays after 4pm. I am available most Saturdays in the AM and PM. I also am available Sunday afternoons and evenings. I make sure my dog has plenty of food and fresh water throughout the day. I take her outside to go to the bathroom in the morning and right when I come home. I take her on a walk. I play and cuddle with her a lot.

“Paula was great caring for my cat. I was afraid my cat would hide but she didn’t at all; she felt comfortable and enjoyed Paula’s company during the time I wasn’t home.”

“I cannot recommend Dimitri highly enough! He took amazing care of my cat, Tuna, while I was away for two weeks and truly went above and beyond in every way. He was incredibly attentive to Tuna’s needs and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for throughout my trip. He spent extra time with her when she needed company, made additional visits to open the window when the room got too warm, and was always thoughtful about her comfort and well-being. Dimitri was also excellent with communication. He kept me updated regularly, sent detailed messages, and gave me peace of mind knowing Tuna was in such good hands. He administered her medications reliably and on time, cleaned up accumulated pet hair, and kept her space tidy and comfortable. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. I came home to a happy, healthy cat, and I am so grateful for the care and attention he provided. I would absolutely trust him with Tuna again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and dedicated pet sitter.”

“Morgan checked in on our cats and they loved her! I appreciated knowing they were getting care and attention and treats. She was good about communication and directions on where things are, etc. Would definitely ask her to watch them again!”

About: Your pets deserve more than just a sitter; they deserve someone who genuinely loves them. I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals, and for more than a decade I’ve turned that passion into a profession as a dog walker and cat sitter, while volunteering at local shelters along the way. I’ve cared for every personality under the sun including the shy ones, the wild ones, the velcro dogs, the aloof cats, and I love them all. What sets me apart? I treat every pet like my own. Not as a catchphrase, but as a promise. Accommodating each pet’s individual needs comes naturally to me, and every animal I care for gets the same love and attention I’d give my own. Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and safety are always my top priority. If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, experienced, and truly passionate about animals, you’ve found them. I hope to meet your pet very soon! I work from home during the week, so my schedule is pretty flexible! For drop-in visits and walks, I’m available after 4pm on weekdays and anytime during weekends. During our meet and greet, we can discuss all the ins and outs of your pets needs! Depending on the service, how I care for your pet in your home is variable. Dog walking includes 25 minutes outside, and 5 minutes inside for a little time to refresh their water, and playtime, or cuddle time, depending on what your dog is feeling! Cat visits inside, I tend to go by what one communicates during our meet and greet. Usually it will include cuddles, water refresh, and/or playtime. I will always take my shoes off, and double check to see if I locked your door correctly! :)

“Ellie is the best! Always on top of things, loves my little one, and is communicative and sends lots of pictures 😍 I was so nervous about Rover, very grateful for Ellie and the relationship she’s built with Shuri. I can leave my little one with confidence she’s well taken care 😸”

“Karli was great! ! Karli gave me a very detailed update and very detailed pictures of each cat. I appreciate how many pictures Karli took, it made me feel comfortable knowing my cats are out and safe! Karli was extremely responsive and flexible, and Karli helped us out last minute. Karli scooped my liter, fed my cats wet food, played laser, and plugged my camera in as a favor. I would highly recommend Karli to watch anyone’s pets”

“MELINA IS THE BEST! I was gone for two weeks and she made daily visits to my fur baby. Mind you my cat isn’t the friendliest but she made sure he was well fed and looked after. She was so patient and friendly and made the process so smooth. She sent me photos and updates daily that made me feel so relieved being out of town for so long. Definitely rebooking her each time and recommending her to everyone!!! You fur baby is safe with her! Thank you so much Melina!! 10/10”

About: I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs of varied breeds and sizes. I've fostered several large breed dogs. I've also volunteered at two no-kill shelters to take the dogs waiting for adoption on walks and helping to socialize them. During the winter, I'm very mindful of keeping your pup's feet healthy, and have lots of experience putting on booties to protect their paws or making sure to wash off any salt after our walks if they walk uncovered. I'm familiar with all kinds of harnesses, collars, and leashes. Keeping your pup safe while we are out is my number one concern. I also love to capture photos of your pup to send to you. I'm available for drop-in visits and walks on weekday evenings and any time on Saturdays and Sundays. I don’t have a lot of evening commitments so overnight pet sitting works well for me. We also rarely travel for the holidays. I have a fenced in backyard with locked gates. We always monitor time out in the yard. Non-smoking home with dog gates to keep pups out of off limits areas. Building trust is important, so I approach all dogs calmly and provide them with attention and care according to the owner’s instructions.
