House Sitting Lisle

“Nancy did a great job watching our dog Atticus! He normally gets very sad when we’re gone, but Nancy made sure he got enough love and attention and he was happy and relaxed. Atticus loved Nancy and even went into the room she stayed in a few times to check if she was still there. She sent frequent updates on his mood, whether he ate, and what they were up to, including sending pictures. We will definitely hire Nancy again!”

“Sarah took wonderful care of our 14 year old Lab, Wally, while we were away for a week. Leaving an older dog can be stressful, but Sarah gave us complete peace of mind from the start She was attentive, caring, and clearly treated Wally like one of her own. She kept us updated with messages and photos, and it was obvious he was comfortable, well cared for, and getting lots of love and attention\. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything\. We are so grateful for the excellent care Sarah provided and would not hesitate to book with her again\. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate pet sitter.”

About: Your pet won't just be watched, they'll be genuinely cared for. I’ve spent over 20 years caring for animals of all kinds, and that experience has taught me how to support pets with every temperament and need. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, senior, or requires specialized care, I take the time to understand their routines, triggers, and comfort cues so they feel safe and secure from the moment they arrive. I’ve worked with puppies to seniors, small to large breeds, multi‑pet households, and pets needing medications or structured routines, giving me a strong foundation in reading behavior, building trust, and adjusting care to match each animal’s personality.

 My favorite part of pet care is building trust. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a shy, anxious, or reserved pet relax and let their personality shine. Some of the most rewarding feedback I receive is when owners tell me their pet seemed more comfortable, playful, or affectionate than usual. I pay close attention to body language, routines, and emotional cues so pets feel safe, understood, and comfortable being themselves.
 And when those moments happen, you'll get to see them too. I love sharing photos, videos, and updates so you can enjoy your pet's adventures while you're away!
 🛡️Safety First, Always 
I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing attentive, thoughtful care and keeping you informed every step of the way.
 
 I actively supervise pets both indoors and outdoors rather than simply being nearby. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, routines, and any signs of stress, anxiety, excitement, or changing needs. During walks and outdoor time, I'm mindful of surroundings, unfamiliar dogs, wildlife, weather conditions, and anything that could impact your pet's safety or comfort. I also have experience introducing dogs to one another thoughtfully and at a pace that keeps everyone comfortable. By recognizing signs of curiosity, playfulness, uncertainty, stress, or overstimulation, I can adjust interactions appropriately and help create positive, safe experiences for all pets involved.
 I believe great pet care comes from being engaged, observant, and proactive. From the moment your pet arrives until they're safely back with you, their well-being is my top priority.
 🌟Personalized Care for Every Pet & Every Owner No two pets are alike, and neither are their owners.
 Some families provide detailed instructions, schedules, and preferences. Others simply want peace of mind knowing their pet is in experienced hands. I genuinely enjoy both approaches.
  I'm naturally detail-oriented, attentive, and precautionary, so I carefully follow every instruction provided. At the same time, my years of experience allow me to confidently care for pets whose owners prefer a more relaxed approach. Whether you prefer frequent updates or occasional check-ins, detailed summaries or quick messages, I'll adapt to your communication style while providing the same level of attentive care. Your pet's care stays consistent regardless of how much or how little direction you provide. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, consistent attention throughout the week.
 Monday-Thursday: I work 8 AM-4 PM just minutes from home, so I can stop by during lunch for potty breaks, walks, check-ins, and extra attention when needed.
 Fridays: I work remotely, which gives me even more flexibility for walks, playtime, enrichment, and companionship throughout the day. Weekends: My schedule is open, making it easy to accommodate overnight stays, extended visits, and last-minute bookings.
 Because my routine is consistent, pets settle in quickly and receive steady, dependable care. Whether your pet enjoys activity, companionship, or simply a predictable routine, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for during their stay. 🤍A Calm, Low-Stress Environment
 One of the things pets benefit from most in my care is that I don’t have any animals of my own. This means visiting pets receive my full attention in a calm environment without competing for space, affection, or supervision. For many dogs, especially anxious, young, senior, shy, or independent dogs, this can make a huge difference. They often settle in more quickly because the environment is quiet, predictable, and focused entirely on them.
 Your pet's routine becomes my routine. Whether they enjoy long walks, playtime, cuddling on the couch, frequent potty breaks, or simply relaxing nearby, I take the time to learn what helps them feel most comfortable.
 My building includes: • Private pet park- a safe, enclosed spot for pets to stretch out, play, and enjoy fresh air during their stay • Quiet park nearby for peaceful walks- ideal for pets who prefer gentle environments over the hustle of community dog areas • Pet wash room- perfect for muddy paws, quick rinses, and keeping pets fresh and comfortable during their stay • Elevator and stair access- every pet gets an option based on their comfort and mobility needs All designed to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for.
 
For boarding/daycare, pets who prefer space from other pets can enjoy a one‑household stay.
 
 💛Extra Support & Attention
 My partner is also a lifelong experienced animal lover and often spends her days off with me. Pets naturally gravitate toward her kind, playful energy. She provides an extra set of eyes, hands, and attention, which can be especially helpful for puppies, active dogs, and multi-pet households. Like me, she respects your pet, routines, and home, and takes their care seriously. 🏡 House Sitting: Respectful Pet Care & Home Care
 When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a home that looks exactly as you left it. I come fully prepared with my own laptop, hotspot, meals, and daily essentials. I don't require Wi-Fi, snacks, streaming services, or household supplies. Most of my time is spent playing with, walking, cuddling, grooming, or simply spending quality time with your pet. I closely follow feeding schedules, household rules, training routines, and walking expectations. I also: • Bring in mail/take out trash • Vacuum pet hair • Keep food and water areas clean • Tidy up after myself • Wipe down surfaces I use • Handle pet-related cleanups • Respect all security measures and gates
 You'll never have surprise visitors, smoking, parties, or drinking in your home. I treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect someone to show mine.
 One of my strongest qualities is being a respectful house guest. Your home, routines, and pet's comfort matter to me.

“I can't recommend Jed highly enough! He truly saved the day by accepting my booking at the very last minute. He was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and professional. Most importantly, Mazi adored him. I will definitely be booking with him again!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, so I tailor walks, playtime, and care to meet their individual needs. Whether your pet loves adventures, belly rubs, or a quiet companion, I provide dependable, attentive care that helps them feel safe and happy while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind and your pet a fun, loving experience filled with plenty of attention and affection. As a high school teacher, I have a reliable schedule and enjoy spending my free time caring for animals. During the school year, I am available after school, evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. In the summer, I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight care. This flexibility allows me to provide pets with the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and secure environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home while you're away. With years of experience caring for animals, you can trust that your furry family member will receive attentive care, plenty of affection, and close supervision.

I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, and I know how important it is to follow each pet’s individual routine.

I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing! I am a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week.

Whether your pet needs a check-in, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, or extra attention, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of updates while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow all of your care instructions, including feeding, walks, medications, litter or potty routines, and any special needs. I’m patient with shy or nervous pets and always give them time to get comfortable with me at their own pace. I’ll also send plenty of photos and updates so you know they’re happy and safe!

“I am so very happy to have found Sarah! I am always worried about my dogs when I go out of town...will the pet sitter let them out as often as their accustomed to? Will my house be a wreck when I return? For the first time in a long time, I took a trip and felt at ease. Sarah was absolutely fantastic! She took such great care of my senior girl and entertained the younger pups. Never have I returned home from a trip and had my house as clean (if not cleaner) than when I left. I am so grateful to Sarah and will most certainly be using her services again!”

“My pup was very comfortable with Claire, and enjoyed being taken for lots of walks. Claire has a calm demeanor and that helps calm my sometimes anxious pup.”

About: My parents have a farm with three big dogs and many small ones, I’ve taken care of them many times over the years. I have neighbors and friends reaching out to care for their furry friends while they are out of town. I promise to give your loved furry one the love they would expect on a day to day basis I work from home so if I need to spend the day with your pet I can be there for them as I work! Outside of work hours I can give long walks and tons of play time. If you pet needs extra attention I can provide lots of head pets or give them space if they like to spend their time alone.

“Ashley was fantastic! She housesat for our two pups who don’t do well being alone. She gave them lots of attention and treats. She sent many updates and was very communicative the entire time. She followed all of our instructions and made sure the dogs were taken care of. She was great to work with throughout the entire process of coordinating a meet and greet and confirming all of the details for sitting in advance. We would absolutely use Ashley again!”

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.

“What a gift to have such a wonderful care for our guy Brody over the Christmas holiday. Given Brody’s reactivity with other dogs and separation anxiety, Lauren’s flexibility, communication, and care gave us great confidence and comfort. We will definitely be reaching out to Lauren again for any future house sitting needs.”

Melanie A.

“Maggie was sweet and attentive with our pup! She took the time to come in for a meet and greet super last minute which we truly appreciated. She also made sure to ask all the questions about his care which made us feel more at peace about leaving our puppy with her. She played with him and fed him on schedule. We will be definitely rebooking for future visits!”

“Maria did a wonderful job taking care of Hazel and my two cats. She sent lots of pictures and daily updates, which allowed me to enjoy my vacation and not worry about my pets. Thank you!!”
