Pet Sitting in Maple Park

“Erika is amazing. Our dog takes some time to trust strangers and she has been very patient with him. Her experience and background are what drew us to her and it is proving that we made the right decision. We will be hiring Erika again on a regular basis.”

About: One of my greatest joys in life is meeting new Dogs. There isn’t a dog that I won’t stop to greet and I’ve never turned down a chance to puppy-sit for a friend. In fact my experience outside of my own pets probably starts around 8-9 years old, I used to help my grandma feed her two large huskies, kennel them and clean their dog run. I’ve cared for everything from large German shepherds to small chihuahuas and a lot of in between which has given me years of experience caring for every different type of personality and energy level. I’ve cared for foster dogs from bad situations, high energy dogs with special care needs and even senior dogs who may need a little help now and then. A lot of people can walk a dog but only a few special people can care for your dog as much as you would. I believe I’m a person who would care and protect your dog as much as I would my own. I work full time Mon-Fri til 230 with my free time running til 7 pm everyday but Wednesdays. I’m available all day on Saturdays and Sundays with exceptions. I will always try my best to care for your dogs exactly as you need or specify. I’ll spend as much time as I can with them and put off crating til necessary. I want your dogs to get the most out of this experience seeing as they’re the ones being cared for, so I will always treat them as you would.

About: I have had several dogs over my lifetime, ranging in size from a 25 lb. French Bulldog to a 95 lb. Labrador. I am used to multiple dogs! I will offer your fur babies play, love and attention. I come from a CMA background in pediatrics, so I am used to administering meds if need be. I can care for your puppy to senior age dog. I am very attentive to always picking up after my dogs, same goes for yours. I will offer you dependability, respect for your home and loving care of your fur babies! I am currently working very part time for a non-profit with a very flexible schedule. This means I have a lot of availability to help you out:) I will be offering my services at your home only. I will follow your house rules as far as your pet routine and care. For dogs: I will feed and water per your instructions, play with, walk them, pick up after their potty and any other special instruction. For cats: I will feed and water per your instructions. Play with them as they tolerate it! Clean litter box. I will be respectful and care for your pets and home as if it were my own.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so taking care of them comes naturally to me. I’m used to feeding, walking, cleaning up, and just paying attention to what they need. I’m really patient and calm, which helps a lot with shy or anxious pets. I stick to routines and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my day—I like having something to look forward to, and spending time with animals is honestly one of my favorite parts of it. I make sure to plan around visits and give each pet my full attention instead of rushing in and out. I keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable, following your routine and giving lots of love. I treat your home with care and make sure your pet feels at ease while you’re away.

“Elliot was very communicative, which I appreciated while being away! My cat also got along very well, and I felt comfort in knowing he was getting the care he needs!”

About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of pets, ages, and have even done a little training. My experience stems from running my own pet sitting business in the Northwoods of WI for 4 years. I am currently a student at NIU so I will be scheduling around my classes. Monday-Wednesday I have class usually 8:30-3pm & Thursday from 8:30-5pm, but things change. School comes first so I am specifically looking for lower maintenance gigs so I can manage school readings. BONUS points if your pet loves snuggles. I only care for pets in my clients home simply because Im not allowed to take them to my apartment. I’m very communicative and always answer my phone :) if you need extra help with plant care or getting the mail I am at your aid!

“Cora was great taking care of our two cats while we were away. She was a clear and prompt communicator and sent great updates each visit. Would use again.”

About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, lizards (and even hedgehogs for a couple years!) since I was 10 years old. I love all pets and am happy to go out and play or sit and relax, all depending on the pet’s needs. I have administered medication to senior cats, middle-aged to senior dogs, and lizards. I do not mind helping to clean your house if there are any accidents or messes made while I am there! I am looking for a summer job as I have a couple smaller, less frequent opportunities throughout the summer. I am going to do my masters at NIU in the fall, so I will be in the area for a while! I would love to get out and do lots of walks to enjoy the summer weather. I have two cats at home that get played with daily and enjoy relaxing with me at the end of the day. Because my cats will eat anything and everything, I am very aware of what is left out in my house as well as other spaces. I am happy to clean up any messes or accidents made while I am at your home and make sure everything is the same or better than you left it for an overnight stay. I have pet sit for many friends and family and have had no complaints! I will make sure to take pictures of your pet so you know they are happy and safe, it’s what I would want from anyone who takes care of my cats!
