Pet Sitting in Maple Park

“Colin was patient, understanding and kind to myself and my cats. He sent a picture and let me know how things were going. I really appreciated his help.”

“I reached out to Evelyn on short notice due to an unexpected funeral and on a holiday no less. She responded very quickly, came by for a meet and greet, and took care of our girls for 2 days. She was great and our dogs were happy to be at home instead of boarding. Evelyn was great and I certainly recommend her. We will definitely use her again!”

“Kimberly was amazing. She did drop in visits for a week for my two dogs and took excellent care of them. She is professional, courteous and communicative. I highly recommend her!”

“I can see why Erika has a perfect rating. I had to leave my new 3-month old puppy (that I just adopted) for the first time as I had to go to work and I was extremely nervous, but Erika put me at ease immediately. She sent so many pictures and a detailed description of the entire visit. I felt so much better knowing my pup had some stretches, cuddles, & outside time while I was away. Just knowing someone checked in on her meant everything. She even threw in a few recommendations which I very much appreciate as a first-time puppy owner. My pup seemed to be very comfortable with her.”

“Amy is simply the best! We can leave our little fur babies and completely enjoy our trips since we know they are under her care. She is so kind and our cats love her! Five stars isn’t enough!!!”

About: My whole life I’ve had animals cats dogs farm animals I love them all. I’ve handled big dogs and small dogs and have sitted for friends when they leave for vacation.

I am comfortable with all pets My cat has her cat tower and clean litter boxes and she also sleeps in bed too. Lots of play time playing with her toys as well

“Absolutely loved having Christy come! I know Gwyn loved it and was so happy. She was so attentive to Gwyn and gave me the best updates!”

About: I have been raised with a pet by side. When I have born we had two brittany spaniels that have since passed on. In 8th grade, after they passed, we adopted another puppy brittany. A year later, we adopted another, to have our current pair of brittanys. So I have experience raising puppies as well. I play with them outdoors and indoors, brush them, clean up their poop, bath them, feed them, and train them. They also get taken on walks at the local forest preserve for stimulation. I have experience in caring for fish and snakes. Between dogs, I had my cat to keep me company. She is solely my cat, so she got the same attention as the dogs, plus I bought her toys, treats, litter, and food. Outside of my dogs I have pet sit goldens labs, goldendoodles, springer spaniels, and many other breeds. As in my headline, I don't think any animal is low maintenance. That just means the pet isn't getting the care it deserves. I had my cat at my dorm first semester, and I fed her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I made sure to play with twice a day and we played birds on the tv for stimulation as well. I had a weekly schedule to brush her twice a week, and clean the litter box every Sunday and Wednesday. At home I would alternate playing with my dogs, training, and brushing them whenever possible. I can play indoors and outdoors. I can take the animal for walks. Clean up any potential messes, such as muddy dogs or if a cat has a hairball. I can accompany senior pets that need help eating. I can brush the animal. And feed them, and do basic training.

About: I have extensive knowledge, regarding care, medication administration, training - grooming and more! I take passion in helping animals, have worked with them my whole life as well as professionally worked at a surgical vet clinic, enhancing medical - related knowledge. I currently am a full time canine - feline mom! I spend my time through the week, traveling with my dog, training my dogs, and spending enrichment time with my cats. I have plenty of time to spend with your pets, as well as being on - call or short notice available. I will always talk with you first about your pets needs, to assure everyone is comfortable and safe. I take passion in the ability to accommodate to any families and pets needs!

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.

“Jessica was great with our 2 pitbull ladies! They are a bit high maintenance and she handled all the extra instructions perfectly!! I highly recommend her to care for your furry friends!”

“Rae’Na is the best there is! She takes wonderful care of our puppy during drop in visits. She is always very attentive, detail orientated, and professional. Would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve done dog walking and drop in visits in the past working with dogs, small critters, and cats. I have about 2 years of experience with dog walking and drop in visits and haven’t had any complaints that I know of from the pet owners that I was working with. I understand the body language of both dogs and cats and I’m able to respect the pets boundaries and know how to access a situation. I also used to work at the animal shelter for a bit! Currently I don’t have a job other than Rover so I have the time to take care of your pets and my schedule is pretty open. I have 2 cats and I take care of them by feeding them wet food 2 times a day and dry food throughout the day and I also scoop their litter boxes and play with them. I’m very respectful of clients homes and respect the rules they have in place for their home because everyone’s care for their pets and homes are different.

About: I worked for two years in an Animal Hospital, have volunteered with Humane Societies and Shelters. Come from a family that has fostered over 100 dogs, including our own! I work days and evenings, I am always available between 6am and 10am as well as after 7pm weekdays. Weekends have much more flexibility in when I am available. I am thorough and make sure to meet all safety, health and wellness needs of the pets. Pets are family and i do my best to make sure you know your pet is well taken care of and loved.

“Cora is the best pet sitter that we have ever had! Our two dogs and two cats absolutely adore her! I would recommend her to friends and family members. She is truly a gem.”

Diana D.

“Kellie was wonderful! Great communication and took amazing care of my cat Cleo. Very thankful for her help, especially with additional check-ins scheduled. I highly recommend Kellie!”

Caitlin C.

“Josh let us know when he was stopping by and gave us great updates so we knew our furry babies were happy and loved. We're pretty sure our more social cat is even sad that Josh hasn't stopped by again now that we are home. He always came out to greet Josh and appreciated all the love he got from him. He cleaned out the cat litter, made sure our cats had plenty of food and water in the auto feeders and gave them lots of love. We'll definitely be using Josh and Anja again other times we need pet sitters.”

“Had a last minute emergency out if state, and Jonathan came to our rescue taking care of our 2 dogs on very short notice and provided excellent care for our girls.”

About: I have been taking care of my Australian shepherd since I was twelve years old. I've been grooming her, walking her, training her, and feeding her since I was a child. Throughout my life I have gotten two more dogs and many more animals that I have loved taking care of. My college classes have all been online so I have had plenty of time to be at home and spend time with my three dogs. At my home I have three dogs. Two that usually keep to themselves but one Husky that loves to play. I have a large fenced in back yard with plenty of room to run around, as well as cages to crate dogs if needed.

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!
