Dog Sitting Lisle

“Excellent! Very nice and kind. Took very good care of our 4 cats!”

Laura S.

“Aga was really wonderful with my cat. He is shy and doesn't like to come out when strangers are there. Aga sent pictures and every time he was "out and about." Everything was perfectly in order when I came home. Aga is great and I highly recommend.”

About: I have had a dog for most of my life. I would love to care for your dog like I care for my own dog ❤️ Currently, I work part time so I can be flexible for your dog needs. I have the summer off from work so can be available for you. I treat dogs with respect and want them to feel comfortable when I am around. I like to keep dogs active when they need it.

About: I feel strongly about the human animal-bond and I believe your pets deserve the best care possible! My experience goes back to childhood since I've had cats and dogs my whole life. I've watched neighbors' and friends' pets while they were out of town and even watched a friend's horses while she was on vacation. I walked dogs at Anderson Animal Shelter (now Anderson Humane) as a kid. I worked for a pet sitting company for a little over a year in 2020. That year I also began school to become a certified veterinary technician. After two years taking classes full time and completing two externships I became a CVT. My schooling did include kennels- aka walking, cleaning up after and caring for the rescued dogs and cats we learned on (they were adopted out at the end of each semester). I also have helped with pets who were boarding at veterinary offices. I can do medical treatments on your fur baby if necessary. I am open to watching exotic pets. I have a huge admiration for spicy cats. I am your person for house sitting and drop in visits. I will be using Rover for part time work but I do have flexible availability! I have stepped away from full time work all together for the foreseeable future. I am a morning person and I would love to spend some time outside with your pup whatever the weather may be. I enjoy walking outside even in zero degree weather! I am happy to accommodate any routine you need for your fur babies. Greeting your pet is important, especially if I am new to them. I will give them food and water and clean dishes as advised by you. I will take them for a walk or outside to play and go potty depending on what they are up for. If you need pills or treatments or any kind to be administered I can absolutely do that. I will treat your pet, your home and belongings with the utmost respect and responsibility.

About: I grew up with two dogs and two cats and was one of their main caregivers. From feeding and walking to supervising and giving them plenty of love and attention, caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. My boyfriend and I now have our two-year-old boy, Whalon, who is truly family. We include him in everything — hikes, vacations, and everyday adventures. He’s our best friend and a huge part of our lives. I believe caring for an animal is a privilege. I take that responsibility seriously, and I do it with pride, patience, and genuine love. When your companion is with me, they’ll be treated with the same care, respect, and affection I give my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work for a school, so I’m up early and home at a reasonable time each day. This allows me to keep a consistent schedule for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. On weekends, I’m usually home spending time with family and my own dog, which means I have plenty of availability and flexibility. I truly enjoy incorporating animals into my everyday life — it never feels like a task, it’s something I love. I’m also big on communication and will always keep you updated so you feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. Whether caring for animals in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort always come first. Whalon is our top priority — he’s our pride and joy — and we’re constantly making sure he feels secure, happy, and well cared for. That same level of attention and love is exactly what I provide for your companion. We have a fenced yard where Whalon enjoys plenty of exercise and playtime when we’re not out on walks or hikes. I’m very mindful of routines, supervision, and creating a calm, positive environment so every animal feels at ease.

“This is our first time using Amie. She was AWESOME! She watched our cats, stopping by twice a day for a week. She was diligent about food and water, cleaning litter boxes, and sending photos. More importantly, she took the time to visit and play with Artie (Bert hides). She got on the floor and talked to Artie. She's got my vote. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”

About: I’ve taken care of my friends dogs before and I have two dogs of my own that I watch when my parents are out of town as well as our cat too. I have a way that animals always love em even if they aren’t big with other people. I am currently a full time college student with only one in person class. Classes end latter this month. I always work part time in retail and umpire baseball games on the weekends. I’m typically at my retail job for about 4 hours and I umpire weekends for about 6 hours I have a fenced in yard and my dogs love to run around out there. I also love to take my dogs on walks when i can. I also have a cat that I try to take out when the weather is nice and let him roam in the sun.

About: I used to have a dog, and I truly miss the companionship and joy that having a dog brought into my life. Unfortunately, because I rent my current home, I can't own a dog right now. To recapture that wonderful feeling, I've decided to walk dogs in my spare time. It allows me to experience the happiness of being around dogs again, even if I can't have one of my own at the moment. I have owned a small dog as a child and recently a 130 cane corso so I am comfortable with all sizes. Currently I am available after 5 on Fridays and most weekends. I cannot have dogs at the place I am renting . Please reach out to coordinate what days you need your dog walked I am only able to provide dog walking services at this time. I am unable to have dogs at the place I am renting. Thank you

About: Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember, but English Bulldogs hold a special place in my heart. I trained and raised my own English Bulldog for 9 years, who grew into a special needs senior: blind in his later years and on multiple daily medications. Loving him through every stage taught me what bulldog parents already know: these dogs are one of a kind, and they need a sitter who understands them. Bulldogs aren't just low-maintenance couch potatoes, and I know the details that make the difference. I understand their stubbornness, heat sensitivities, and breathing issues. I stay on top of daily wrinkle cleaning and regular ear checks to prevent irritation and infections, and I'm happy to apply nose butter and follow your dog's grooming routine if needed. I also have the patience to work with a stubborn bulldog mood. Managing multiple daily medications and caring for a blind senior dog taught me to be organized, gentle, and attentive to any changes in routine, appetite, or behavior. My experience goes well beyond loving animals. I've worked at both a pet store and a local animal hospital, where I cared for a variety of animals, cleaned enclosures and kennels, maintained a sanitary environment, tracked food intake and behavior, and administered medications. Working alongside veterinary teams taught me to notice small changes and flag concerns early, so every animal in my care is safe, comfortable, and closely monitored. Don't have a bulldog? Don't worry! I've had years of experience caring for dogs of many breeds, plus cats, small animals, aquatic pets, and more, and I've provided trusted in-home pet care for neighbors and family members. Whether your pup is a personable bulldog like mine, or any other beloved companion, under my care they won't just be looked after. They'll be understood, loved, and treated like family. A recent Elmhurst University graduate, I currently have a flexible, full-time availability to dedicate to pet care, meaning your pets get my full attention and availability any day of the week. When I visit your home, my top priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and as stress-free as possible in their own environment. I know that unfamiliar faces can be an adjustment for some animals, so I always take a calm, patient approach and let your pet set the pace when it comes to warming up. During drop-ins, I'll follow your routines closely: feeding schedules, medications, behavioral notes, and any specific preferences you've set for your pet. I treat your home with the same respect and care I'd want shown in my own. Everything will be left exactly as I found it. For dog walks, I keep a close eye on body language and surroundings at all times, keeping walks safe and enjoyable. I'm experienced in handling dogs with different temperaments and energy levels, and I'll always make sure your pup is secure before heading out. I'm also happy to provide updates, photos, and notes after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing, because peace of mind for you is just as important as good care for them!

“Shelly is great with our dog and on time. We love having her at our home.”

About: I’ve had experience with animals my entire life! I’ve owned many dogs, cats, a bunny, a bird, snakes, fish, geckos, and I even have a tarantula! Professionally, I’ve been caring for animals for a bit under a year; I currently work at a doggy daycare/boarding facility, so I have been trained professionally in different areas. I’ve owned a reactive dog before, and currently have a fear aggressive/reactive dog. The bigger the dog, the better! I absolutely adore giant breeds and have experience in their care. I have a wide knowledge about dog breeds and their behaviors, as well as dog body language. I have experience in medication administration as well. As for other animals, I can adequately care for your reptiles! I work part time currently and always have weekends off, so I can drop in any time on weekends or when my work schedule allows it! I’m comfortable with almost everything regarding animals. I currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats and my house is equipped to care for everyone individually. Every animal is different and I’m able to adapt to their needs to make sure that they’re happy and healthy.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, starting when my mom and I rescued a Corgi when I was ten years old. In College, I adopted a German/ Sheppard Pit Bull Mix named ACE and he taught me a lot about taking care of animals on my own and growing as a human being. Not just walks, but attention, exercise, discipline, and sacrifice 24/7. I am a genuine, reliable person that has a lot of free time as a hockey broadcaster in my summers and I want to help you take care of your dog in a loving, reliable, and most importantly flexible way for you or your family. I live in Naperville, IL and willing to accommodate close to 10 miles:) I Only work weekends, so I can work through the week! Sundays are also a good day for me too usually, I am a sports broadcaster so I have weird hours haha but free a lot in the summer :) Big walking guy, with trails and local suburb paths for us. Water is always out, and toys and calm music if need be. Treats and fun always.
