Dog Sitting in Marengo

About: I’ve grown up taking care of both cats and dogs, including small and large breeds. I currently have a chocolate lab who I walk, feed, and play with every day. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and cats, and I understand the extra patience, attention, and care they may need. I love cats and am comfortable feeding them, changing litter, playing with them, and giving them lots of attention. I’m reliable, caring, and truly enjoy being around animals! I’m home from college until August 10th. I’m available all day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8 AM–3PM for dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits for both cats and dogs! I’m also available on weekends and am flexible with timing. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and safe. I’m always mindful, respectful, and responsible when caring for pets in someone else’s home. I make sure to keep a clean and safe environment, follow instructions carefully, and handle everything with care. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home, and I’ll always do my best to make both you and your pets feel comfortable and secure.

“Eloise was fantastic! She followed all of our instructions, and our dog and cat seemed to genuinely love having her take care of them. She was available for a drop in last minute, and sent over very cute photos and videos. Will definitely be hiring her again!”

“This was my first time using Rover for my dog, I was a little nervous about my dog not being cared for by family. But Isabel was so kind and friendly. She sent me messages and pictures of my Oliver when I was away. I was so impressed by this service. I know my dog is a handful but he seemed very happy the whole weekend. I will absolutely recommend Isabel!! I hope she is available to help next time I am out of town. Thank you so much Isabel!!!”

About: I’ve loved growing up with dogs and cats my whole life and currently live with 2 of them and my cat (she's a queen, but loves her furry, fellow roommates :) ) I have experience with senior, high energy and large dogs. I’m happy to make drop in visits, house sit, play, give attention and take them on walks (even in Chicago winters!). I understand how much our furry friends mean to us and wanting them in the best hands while away. I take my responsibility very seriously and my passion for dogs and cats makes this a fun position for me as well. We’re all busy people but I work to be flexible and accommodating to you and your pet to ensure they’re given the attention they need. Can’t wait to meet your fuzzy, furry fur babies! I currently have a full time job in Crystal Lake but I’m happy to flex my time to make space in my schedule for any needed pet care. I'm an active, driven individual with a big heart who loves animals of all kinds :) I'm a vigilant, passionate caretaker who provides love and attention to detail wherever I am - at home, in other homes or out in public.

About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life! When i was younger I would walk the neighbors dogs and also let the dogs out when the family was gone! I love dogs as I have grown up with Great Danes, and I would love your dog the same amount as I love mine! I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to spend with the dogs! I am available for house sitting almost every day. I am able to crate dogs easily if needed, and I am also able to take your dogs to dog parks. I can walk dogs and stay with them!

About: I have 3 large dogs of my own so I am no newbie to walking big pups! I absolutely love all dogs and am lucky to have the summers off to give them long walks and provide much needed potty breaks! I am off for the summer (June - August) so weekdays at anytime work for me. I also am free to cover while you go on vacations :) I am extra cautious with our fur babies and their safety, happiness, and well-being is of utmost importance When I am in a client’s home or backyard, I am always sure to check the environment so ensure it is safe for pets (i.e. fence is locked, no small pieces around for choking, water available, etc).

“Becca was amazing! She agreed to three drop-in visits with less than 24 hours notice. She was on-time for every visit, followed the instructions we had left, made sure that both of our dogs were well taken care of and even spent some time with them. Everything went so well that we've asked Becca to be our regular sitter. ?”

About: Skilled Dog Walker with 1+ year of experience in providing reliable and safe walks for a variety of breeds. Well-versed in developing positive relationship with pets and owners. I’m currently work full-time during the weekdays but I do have some time boarding dogs for the weekend. I’m always free to take a good care of dogs for weekends when their owner needs some break or out of the town! I live in a house with a huge fenced in backyard with a lot of space for the dogs to play around. I also have two dogs, they get along with any dogs! I also do enjoy taking dogs for a long walk nearby the neighborhood for some fresh air.

“I have a cat that requires subcutaneous fluids and I needed someone to drop in while I was on vacation to give those to her and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better than Meg! She did such a great job, communicated well, I trusted her completely, and her care meant that I could relax and enjoy my vacation instead of worrying about my cat. If I ever needed someone to look after my cat again, I’d happily rebook with Meg.”

About: I've taken care dogs for more than a year. I helped my family to walk the dog and give her so much love. I lived with a beautiful Puddle "Luna". I can walk your dog from 4pm to 10pm on the weekday, Also, I'm available to walk your dog during the Weekends at any time! I do not offer this service due to the fact that I do not have my own house to keep your dog. I'm truly sorry.
