Pet Sitting Melrose Park

“I had a great experience with my dog sitter! She did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I would absolutely book with her again! 🐶❤️”

“Brian was a great help while I was getting cancer surgery. Brian gave me peace of mind while I was away that my cats were well looked out for and in good hands. Thanks again Brian!”

About: Experience with all kinds of pets and reptiles. Will be treated with upmost care. I can provide a number of services including bathing, walking, feeding, cutting nails/grooming and any special requests from you. I do work a full time job between the hours of 6am and 3pm but any time after that I am free to tend to any needs you or your pet needs. I will have a designated play area for your fur babies if any needed. I will update with pictures and calls if needed. I will follow any schedule given.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages. I grew up with two dogs and later cared for two cats, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and spend quality time with their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and truly love animals, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m especially willing to put in the extra time and care senior pets may need, whether that’s moving at a slower pace, providing extra comfort, or paying close attention to their routines. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident and at ease, and I always prioritize safety, comfort, and happiness. I am currently a student, which gives me a very flexible schedule to care for your pets! I am completely free every weekday after 1:00 PM for walks, drop-ins, and evening playtimes. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, my classes finish even earlier, so I am available starting at 11:00 AM. My weekends are 100% open for boarding or house sitting. Because I'm home studying often, I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and potty breaks they need. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is keeping them comfortable and stress-free by maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications, making sure your pet gets the exercise, attention, and care they’re used to. I treat your home with respect by keeping it clean and secure, always double-checking doors and gates. I make it a point to give each pet plenty of love, attention, and interaction so they feel happy and secure while you’re away. I also communicate frequently and can send daily photo updates, so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“I had a previous bad experience with another sitter on Rover so I was a bit nervous leaving my cat with another sitter. Liliia, however, took such good care of my cat, Floyd. She would communicate any questions she had regarding him and was responsive with my messages. She arrived on time for his visits (I booked 2 visits a day for 7 days). She also communicated to me when my cat wasn’t being compliant with his asthma inhaler, which I appreciated. I would definitely rebook with her again if needed. I would recommend her if you’re looking for someone that’s going to take good care of your pets.”

“OMG we love Aniya!!! Gave her undivided attention to our rambunctious 4 month old puppy who is quite the handful. Aniya currently does 1 hour drop in visits twice a week for us and she is kind and dependable. Elvis, our pup.. really took well to her and we look forward to continuing to work with her! THANK YOU ANIYA!”

“Odalys went above and beyond with my five cats while I was on vacation. She updated me at every visit as to how they were all doing. My cats enjoyed her company. She followed all of my instructions. I would definitely have her take care of my cats again when I go on my next vacation...without hesitation!”

“Chris provided excellent care for my two cats! They were happy & well cared for while we were away. I love that she genuinely enjoys spending time with them. Great communication and updates as always.”

About: I had my first dog at just 6 years old and my love for animals had been growing ever since😊I currently have a dog of my own who is 5 years old! I’ve had her since she was a puppy (day she was born lol!) due to an accidental litter from my dog(who unfortunately passed away and is her mother) and my moms dog! So I am very good with puppy training as well😊I am good with administering medicine as needed for your fur baby if that is something you need! I work 3 night time 12 hour shifts Friday-Sunday so I am free during the week! I am in nursing school as well but as of now my classes are online! I can keep your fur baby company and play with them. I’m very good with animals of all kinds and making them comfortable around me! I offer companionship and treats lol! I love long walks for dogs so they will get plenty of potty breaks and lots of outside time!

“Marin was awesome. She communicated well and took great care of our dog.”

“Our dog Luna loves Cheryl. We were impressed from the very first intro meeting how attentive Cheryl was to understanding our dogs patterns. Cheryl is lovely to work with and is so friendly. The updates we get after are so helpful.”

About: I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs—big, small, energetic, friendly, and even those who need a little extra patience and attention. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to adapt to whatever makes them feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’m even more experienced with cats, having grown up around them my entire life! I love getting to know each cat’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I also have experience administering insulin shots to cats and am comfortable following specific care routines and instructions. I currently have almost complete availability, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I'm very flexible. Reach out to me for scheduling. I'm used to many varying sets of rules from house to house when it comes to pets. Let me know where they should and shouldn't be and I'll make sure to keep to that!

About: I am able to care for a variety of furry friends, ranging from puppies to senior dogs. I do have some personal (not professional) experience in training that follows respect, obedience, and basic commands! Keeping your pup active, in a safe environment and always loved are my top priorities ☺️ I also offer pet taxi services - if your fur baby happens to have an upcoming vet service or even grooming service, I will happily provide transportation! These options will count as a scheduled ‘Drop in’ visit if you’re interested! 😊 Im currently a med school student but am in the process of transitioning from clerkships to elective year so with some extra free time, I am able to tend to your pets needs throughout most times of the day. My schedule does vary depending on the specialty / clinic I’ll be in, but the details can be sorted out with the needs you and your pets require! I have 3 dogs myself, 2 of them currently reside with my parents up north due to me being here for medical school while my fiance and I travel with our sweet newly adopted girl. My pups love to run around and get as much play time as possible so I’m used to the high energy pups!

“Abby came in and did some drop in visits with my dog, while I had a long work day. She took him for a walk, feed him, and kept him company. She kept me updated, sent pictures, and really treated my dog like as if he was her own! I would definitely hire again, and so should you!”

“Rhianna goes above and beyond! She will care for your pets as if they are her own. She plays with them, give them loves and snuggles, even teaches them tricks! I would highly recommend her to anyone and will continue using her for as long as she’s available.”

About: Hi! My name is Chris, and I’ve spent over 10 years professionally working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My background includes dog daycare, boarding, overnight care, kennel management, administering medications, caring for senior dogs, supervising large playgroups, and professional dog training. While I currently work as a Keyholder in retail management, my passion has always been caring for animals, and I love being able to spend my free time doing what I enjoy most. One thing that sets me apart is my ability to understand canine body language and recognize when a dog is stressed, excited, nervous, or simply wants space. Every dog is different, and I take the time to build trust and provide care that matches their individual personality and needs. Although I’m not actively teaching training classes anymore, I still use the skills I’ve learned over the years to reinforce good manners, encourage positive behaviors, and create a calm, structured environment for the dogs in my care. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, a senior who needs extra patience, or just wants someone to play, cuddle, and keep them company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re one of my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and receiving the same care I’d give my own family. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! Pet care has always been a part of my life, even after transitioning into retail management. I work full-time as a Keyholder, but I schedule my Rover services around my work so every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a great way for me to stay connected to a field I’ve been passionate about for over 10 years. Outside of work, I spend time with my own pets and make sure they receive the same love and attention I give every animal in my care. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, overnight stay, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care while keeping you updated every step of the way. I believe every pet deserves care that’s tailored to their individual needs and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their schedule as consistent as possible, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of love and attention. I know routines help pets feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. I always treat my clients’ homes with the same respect I would expect someone to treat mine. I’ll clean up after your pet, keep food and water areas tidy, wipe muddy paws when needed, and make sure everything is secure before I leave. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well. If pets are staying in my home, they’ll have a safe, clean, and calm environment where they’re treated like family. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and downtime based on their personality and energy level. My priority is always your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. With over 10 years of professional experience working with dogs and cats, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies, kittens, seniors, and those who require medication or extra patience.

“Olivia was great! She gave our cat plenty of snuggles and play time. She also came over a day early to meet the kittens and get our keys which was really nice of her. Would book with her again!”

About: Hello! My name is Monica and I’m 26 years old. I have lived with both cats and dogs my whole life. I work at an Animal Hospital and my passion is to care for animals. My dog (Akita) passed away a few years ago, he lived 14 long and incredible years and survived two cancers. I recently lost my cat of 16 years as well, she unfortunately had kidney failure and thyroid disease. I miss them every day. I currently have two rescued cats that mean the world to me. I would love to get the chance to meet and care for your pets. I believe this would help me feel fulfilled and bring some light back into my life. I have connections to vets and would make sure your baby is always safe. I have a heart filled with love ready to give to your little or big four legged family member. I work part time and have a love for animals. Working at the vet allows me to provide a healthy lifestyle for your pet. I am not ready to adopt my own dog just yet as I’m still grieving so being able to take care of your fur babies brings light back into my life! I live in a safe neighborhood and have a fenced yard with a few nearby parks. I have two very lovable cats, but I have a two story house and can easily separate the pets. I would love your pet just like my own.

“Christine was great. She took time to get to know the dogs and went above and beyond to give them extra loving and care for our first time away from them. I will ask for her again every time!!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including overnight and extended stays in clients’ homes. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic medications, and following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m also a nursing student, so I’m dependable, organized, attentive to details, and comfortable following specific care instructions. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and home, so I make communication a priority and am happy to send regular photo and video updates while you’re away. I have pets of my own and understand that every animal has a different personality, comfort level, and routine. My goal is to keep your pet feeling safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re gone. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I have flexibility outside of my nursing classes and clinicals. I’m able to plan walks, drop-ins, feeding times, and overnight stays around each pet’s normal routine, and I’m especially available in the evenings and on weekends. When I commit to a booking, I make sure I have enough time to give your pet consistent attention rather than trying to squeeze visits in. I’m also happy to work around specific feeding, medication, or exercise schedules when needed. I currently have online classes Monday and Tuesday mornings, which can be done from home. I have in-person classes Wednesday and Thursday from 10-4 and Friday 7am-1pm. Weekends for me are open! I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions carefully, and I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and food are always handled securely. I’m very respectful of both the pet and the home, and I pay close attention to any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy while the owner is away. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
