Pet Sitting Lisle

“This was our second time using Sarah and she did so great with our dog again! She provided detailed updates and the best pictures each time. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our spoiled boy!”

Lindsey H.

“Ash was great! She was responsive and helped out extra with taking care of our fish. I didn’t get as many pictures with Ash as I have with other sitters, but thats just a personal preference. She was happy to send more photos once I asked. I would book with Ash again.”

“No doubt about it, I’d pick Kaitlyn to catsit again in a heartbeat. I am so beyond thankful for all of Kaitlyn’s patience, kindness, warmth, and compassion. She bonded with both our cats right off the bat. Our shy male cat warmed up to her very quickly. The anxious girl kitty took a bit longer to come around, but Kaitlyn made sure to go at the pace of the kitty in question. She was able to medicate our male cat, and made sure they both felt loved and cared for while we were away for an extended period of time. She communicated as soon as anything came up, and was very flexible! It was such a relief knowing our cats were in such thoughtful & capable hands for the holidays. My girlfriend and I could not recommend her more highly! 🩵”

“Christine was a great sitter and communicator. She provided timely updates and photos for each visit. I would absolutely feel comfortable using her again”

Ryan S.

“Peyton has done a wonderful job watching my cat twice now, and I will definitely book her again for any future needs! She followed directions perfectly and I loved getting the pictures everyday. I can tell my cat is very comfortable around her! She is a great sitter!”

Leah S.

“We had a great experience using Joan for cat care while we were out of town. She stayed in communication and checked in with me to let me know when one of the cats wasn't eating as expected. Joan took lots of pictures so I could see that our pets were eating, playing, and doing fine in our absence. She also brought in our mail and newspapers for us, which was very helpful! Highly recommend!”

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. With a background in behavioral psychology and positive‑reinforcement handling, I understand the motivations, stress signals, comfort cues, and behavior patterns that shape how dogs respond to new environments. This deeper insight into how dogs process change, manage stress, and build trust allows me to read body language accurately, anticipate triggers, and support each dog with structure, reassurance, and training strategies that truly fit their emotional needs. It’s care that feels intuitive and comforting for everyday pups- and thoughtfully informed for dogs who benefit from more specialized, behavior‑aware support. I’ve cared for puppies to seniors, small to large breeds, multi‑pet households, and pets who need medications or structured routines. That range of experience gives me a strong, practical foundation in understanding behavior, building trust, and tailoring care to each dog’s unique 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 take the time to understand each dog’s emotional comfort zone so they feel safe 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 stay fully engaged with your pet throughout their stay, whether we’re indoors relaxing or outdoors exploring. I’m attentive to their energy levels, comfort, and shifting needs, and I’m mindful of our surroundings- unfamiliar dogs, wildlife, weather, and anything that could affect their experience. I also have experience introducing dogs to one another thoughtfully and at a pace that keeps everyone comfortable. I guide interactions thoughtfully, recognizing early signs of curiosity, uncertainty, playfulness, or overstimulation. 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 with them. 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 (just lmk)/take out trash • Vacuum pet hair (just lmk) • 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 had such a great experience with Stephanie. She took wonderful care of Tucker and went above and beyond. She made sure he got a walk in even on the coldest of days. She was flexible enough to adjust a drop in time to accommodate my schedule. Tucker was happy, well cared for and comfortable with her. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and thoughtful dog sitter.”

About: Hello! My name is Alana and I have worked with animals for over a decade, beginning in high school. I worked for a veterinary clinic for 10 years until I moved into a different field. Even then, I still missed working with animals and enjoyed it so much that I ran my own animal rescue for 6 years. On top of a full time job, I work part time taking care of other people’s pets because I love it so much! I currently have three dogs in my home, Frank, a chihuahua mix, and Estelle, a Boston terrier mix, and Roxanne (Roxy) a lab/poodle mix. I also have a Maine Coon cat named Lenny who loves my dogs. I have worked with every dog breed out there, from tiny to large and special needs animals. I also consider myself a cat whisperer and reptile enthusiast. Please feel free to ask me any questions! I work full time from home, 7:30 - 4:00pm Monday through Friday. My dogs get potty breaks during that time and plenty (sometimes too much!) attention. I treat your pets as if they are part of my family. If I am not home and have to run out, the pet will be separated or crated from my own animals. I follow any instructions you give me to a T. I tend to ask a lot of questions to make sure I know everything about your pet.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and currently care for two of my own with ongoing health needs: one with hip dysplasia, who needs walks with breaks, physical therapy, and swimming sessions, and one with IBD, who needs a strict diet and daily medication. I'm comfortable giving medication, managing special diets, and following care instructions exactly as given. I also spent a year pet-sitting a neighbor's puppy and cat, including daily visits and boarding. I'm a parent to a toddler and available every weekday morning, roughly 8:30am to 12pm, for visits and walks. Caring for pets is part of my daily rhythm already, so your pet gets my full attention during our time together, not a rushed in-between. I follow each pet's routine and instructions closely, whether that's medication, a specific diet, or a particular walking pace. I'm attentive to small changes in behavior or appetite, since I manage similar things with my own dogs at home. I send photo updates during visits so you always know how things went.

“Mei Li is a great pet sitter! She loves taking care of our dogs & is on time, responsible & trustworthy. We will continue to use her services whenever possible. Highly recommended!”

About: Hello! I have been a dog lover my whole life having lived with and owned dogs. Currently, I have an English Bulldog & a well trained German Shepherd. I love outdoor walks and play time - no walk is too long for me with your dog! Also, love to keep them company if they do not want to be alone for long periods of time. Experienced in administering medicines to both cats and dogs. Along with my 2 dogs I live on a hobby farm with chickens, horses & barn cats. In college I worked at Danada Vet in the kennel and assisted on the vet floor with the techs and Drs! Reach out with any questions! Thank you! I’m currently working at my family business in the Wheaton area and most of the work is online or around the suburbs - never gone for more than a couple hours. I can be readily available for walks, care and house sitting. I am experienced in caring for pets in the owners home - happy to keep their routine and habits so their life is easy while you are away!

“Juliana was amazing! She kept us up to date on our dogs every day - communication was great. Will definitely use her again when we need dog sitting !”

“Morgan was great, she checked in on Daisy multiple times and gave me updates and pictures. Daisy can be nervous around new people so it was nice to know she was doing well with Morgan. We were able to enjoy our evening out without worrying about her.”

About: I'm a stay at home mom who would love to give your pet a fun, safe place to be while you're away! I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10, everything from high energy herding dogs to disabled senior cats to newborn puppies. Since I'm able to be around all day, I can give your pet the full attention and care I know I want for my own when I'm away as well. If they stay with us, we have a nice fenced in backyard and our own very friendly dog they can play with as well. I also have a 1 year old with me at all times, which may be important to know. If your pet stays with us I will keep a very watchful eye/keep them separate if there's any doubt about your pet's comfortability with children around. On our end we've taught our child pet safety from day 1 with our own dog, so we have never had a problem. For walks and drop-in visits, he will be in a carrier on my back. So excited to meet you and your pet! I'm a stay at home mom so I am very flexible with my daily routine and am able to give lots of time to your loved one! I have a nice fenced in yard and a very friendly medium-energy dog that yours can play with if they'd like. I'm very used to following specific feeding instructions, giving medication, etc.,. Whatever care and attention your pet needs, you can trust that they will get it here! I also love to send update photos! I know how nice it is to see that my guy is doing well when I'm away so I'd love to give you that peace of mind as well!

“Victoria was great! She kept us in full communication, sent videos, and helped us navigate through our new puppy’s shyness. She’s very easy to work with and would recommend her to anyone”

Sara K.

“Jo’Ell is amazing with our puppy! First and foremost, she is always on time and always communicates with us about our puppy. She provides several photos and engages with our puppy. The best is that she brings over different toys and puzzles to help our puppy learn and stimulate their brain. I could not ask for a better person to help us with our dog. Thank you so much.”
