House Sitting Matteson

“Brandon was very diligent about keeping me posted throughout his house sitting assignment, including providing me with photos as well as how my dog was doing. I will reach out to him first going forward whenever I have a need for sitting my dog.”

“Camryn was truly AMAZING! She is super friendly, my dogs love her, she is thorough, follows instructions, asked important questions when needed, and was 100% trustworthy while staying in our home to watch our fur babies. One of our senior dogs is iffy meeting new people and takes a while to warm up. Camryn followed the instructions I left her regarding keeping him separate from her other than during potty break times. She was able to provide immaculate care for him, even in a more challenging situation than typical. My other two dogs loved the attention she provided them while we were away, and they were cared for equally as well! We definitely will book with her again in the future! Thanks again, Camryn!”

About: I'm a lifelong beneficiary of the Cat Distribution System, a proud failed foster and a registered cat colony caretaker. I've cared for newborn kittens to 24-year-old seniors and everything in between. Dogs and I are also friends. I'm self-employed and make my own schedule, so I'm happy to work around your pet's needs. I'm flexible in terms of days, nights and weekends. My goal is to be the kind of sitter I appreciate for my own pets: reliable, responsive and open to animal shenanigans. I'll take care of your pets and your home as if they're mine.

About: I grew up on a farm and we've always had 3 dogs and 2 cats along with a plethora of other animals. I know how to ensure safety and have a clear head when things go awry. I absolutely adore dogs and cats of all ages and can competently take care of any range of behaviors. I'm a ballerina and a personal trainer. But I will absolutely check in, walk or play with your pet any chance that I get! Normally it would be in the morning or near the evening. My schedule is more open on the weekends. I am a very precautious person when it comes to the safety of your pets. I always double check instructions and make sure the door or cage is secure before I leave. I also will give them all the love and attention they could want.

About: What sets me apart is that I’m a veterinary technician, so I have professional experience caring for animals with a wide range of needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific care instructions, and recognizing potential warning signs of illness or changes in behavior that may need veterinary attention. I know how to assess a situation, monitor pets closely, and communicate with owners if I notice anything concerning. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies who need extra patience, consistency, supervision, and guidance as they learn routines. For senior pets, I understand that they may need a slower pace, extra attention, medication, or additional monitoring to keep them comfortable. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet wants lots of playtime and walks or prefers relaxing and cuddling, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a veterinary technician, I’m accustomed to caring for animals and making their health, safety, and well-being a priority. I’m available all day Sunday and Monday, and Tuesday through Saturday from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM. I can provide feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration, and attentive monitoring based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I follow feeding, walking, exercise, medication, and care instructions closely, while also providing plenty of attention and companionship. As a veterinary technician, I’m experienced with administering medications and monitoring pets for changes in behavior or potential signs of illness. I take their health and safety seriously and will communicate with the owner promptly if I notice anything concerning. I also make sure pets receive appropriate exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of love and attention. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home.

“Karen is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! She took care of our cats while we were away for about 2 weeks. Our cats are elderly and are not the easiest to deal with, Karen was attentive to their special needs and just went out of her way to ensure they were comfortable and well taken care of. I would highly recommend her for your pet care needs. We travel often and will use her again and again”

About: As a pet-mom to two high-effort dogs and a very attached cat, I know how important it is to have a reliable plan in place when you inevitably need to leave your babies. I’ve professionally cared for animals since I was 16, starting at PAWS Tinley Park as Jr. Volunteer. When I moved downtown for college, I transitioned to the PAWS in Lincoln Park and Chicago Anit-Cruelty Society. From these opportunities, I learned the immense patient, hard work and empathy it requires to care for pets of all kinds and at all life stages. From abandoned new born kittens to senior dogs awaiting a home to live out their golden years, I was touched by every single animal who trusted me with their care. There is no better feeling than watching an animal grow to trust you and feel safe when you’re around. My goal when caring for your pet is to give them the same love, patience, and attention I would want someone to give my own. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, especially when they’re such an important part of your family. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, cleaning a litter box, or an extended sleepover, I’ll take the time to learn their routines, understand their personalities, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pets deserve to feel at home even when you’re not there, and I’d be honored to give them that care. I currently have a full-time job, but work from home and make my own hours. I have an incredibly flexible schedule, and can be available for short check ins throughout the day, or move my “office” to your home to keep your pets company through the workday. I have a fully-fenced backyard with tons of grass. I have multiple areas in my house where your pet can interact with my two dogs only, with my cat only, or be completely separated with their own space. I can accommodate whichever situation works best for you and your pet!

“Kiera was great with the my husky and lab. She watched them for the day, played with them, and sent tons of updates and pics. They loved her!”

Rachel R.

“Jennifer was very patient with my three dogs, and took care of them as of they were her own. She managed their medications and even gave shots every other day. I would have appreciated more updates from her, but if she needed anything, she did reach out.”

About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was a kid. Growing up I had an adorable pit bull that I would feed, walk, and bathe regularly. My family and friends also had cats that I would occasionally watch and feed as well. Recently I have excelled with sticking to strict dietary restrictions for a senior dog I sat to also helping leash train and walk my siblings 6 month old dog. I'm a full time college student and have a part time job. Luckily between my class schedule and work schedule I have more than enough flexibility to provide the service you and your pet need. I have personal dog walking experience and can provide a comfortable walking environment for your pet. I also have experience with rowdy dogs and can safely handle playtime.

“Alicia was excellent. Prompt and kind to my furry packmates. Should has a kind heart. Sent me updates and pictures to reassure me that they were ok. Going to use Alicia next time we need a sitter.”

“Rob did an amazing job housesitting for us, he was great with our fur baby and kept the house immaculate. He even did more things that we did not ask him nor expect him to do. Highly recommend his services, we were very happy knowing our house and pup were left in good hands! Thanks a lot Rob!”

About: I grew up with a dog, multiple cats, and even a few goldfish, so caring for animals has been part of my life for a long time. As an adult, I’ve also cared for multiple house cats and a dog, and I’m comfortable with different breeds, temperaments, ages, and routines. I’ve spent time with orange tabbies, senior cats, Himalayan cats, terriers, Italian greyhounds, chows, and labs. I’ve played with both puppies and older dogs, and I’ve literally watched dogs grow up. I’m also comfortable with unaltered, neutered, and spayed pets. What sets me apart is the way I pay attention. I understand that pets have different personalities and needs, and I care for them with patience, gentleness, and respect. I’m the friend who visits people and somehow ends up with their cats and dogs sitting right by me. I’m currently building a small business, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present, attentive, and consistent with pet care. I have room in my routine to spend quality time with your fur family and make sure they get the care, comfort, and attention they need. I care for pets with patience, gentleness, and close attention to their needs, routines, and personalities. In a client’s home, I aim to keep things calm, clean, and consistent so pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I understand that trust matters, and I treat both pets and people’s homes with respect.

About: I fell in love with dogs ever since my grandma took me with her to get a husky. Bravo felt like mine and i’ve been helping her take care of him since I was 8 I am a college athlete and spend a lot of time training. I am pretty flexible with my schedule now and I believe this can be too! In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions carefully. I will treat their home like it’s my own, keeping it tidy and clean. I will be communicative, giving updates and pictures. My goal is to make your fur baby feel relaxed and loved in whichever environment they are in.

“Ariel did a great job caring for my dog and cat. She sent pictures fir me to see what they were doing. She walked my dog, she loves to go for walks. This is my second time having Ariel stay at my house to care for my pets. I will be asking her again because I am very happy with her care.”

“Vanessa was awesome. My other dog sitter cancelled two days before I was supposed to leave for out of town. Vanessa responded quickly to my request for last minute booking and came that night to meet me and lulu. While i waa gone, she freqiently sent me pictures and update on my dog which I loved! She also quickly responded when I asked questions. No issues or concerns and will definitely use her for sitting again in the future!”

About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets throughout my life, from parakeets, hamsters, frogs to dogs and cats. Friends and family trust me to care for their pets and homes while they’re away in both city and suburban communities. I’m responsible, dependable, and treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. I currently work part time, so my schedule and availability are very flexible! Whether is squeezing in walks or check in’s, overnight care, or a mixture of both, I’m confident we can come up with a manageable care plan. I follow routine! I am accommodating. I communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos. I also respect their home and keep everything clean and secure.
