caring & responsible pet sitter
Pet care experience
Hello, I have a very flexible schedule to help care for your pets when you travel or are having a hectic week. I haven’t had a dog of my own since I was a kid but I’ve always been the first to volunteer to dog-sit for friends and family, I look forward to hanging out with my furry pals. I have also worked at a specialty pet supply store and groomer in Grayslake called Paws and Claws where I learned so much about the different temperaments of all sorts of breeds. Taking care of your pets and making sure they aren't stressed or thrown off their routine while you're away is something I take pride in.
Reviews
Araceli was wonderful! She was great with my dog Cash and was so communicative in her drop in. Nothing but great things to say about her and would definitely book again! Thank you!!
AVOID. It takes a LOT for me to write a negative review, but I’ve been pushed to my limit. Araceli was paid to house sit our pups for 4 nights. Not only did she not follow any of the guidelines, she left our pups all alone on the very first night and didn’t come back for close to 12 hours. Over the next few days, she came and went, never staying long. She continually showed up at 2am in the morning each night to leave again around 9:30am. Then she would only come back a couple more times much later in the day. This is not what we agreed upon or discussed ahead of the stay and wasn’t what I paid for. I paid for a dog sitter to stay at our house…not check ins and to leave them alone for 8-9+ hours at a time. This completely ruined our vacation as we had to spend multiple hours trying to locate neighbors to help with walks and to feed them during a holiday weekend. I am beyond irate and highly recommend you find someone else who cares about your pets more than Araceli does.
Araceli is the best!! My dog was recovering from an injury and needed to be watched closely and given medicine while we were gone and she went above and beyond to make sure he was resting and healing and that I felt reassured while being away. She even picked up more medicine when needed. She was responsive and flexible as our travel plans changed. Araceli will take the absolute best care of your pet! She makes a stressful situation much less. Can’t recommend her enough!!
Araceli was so great! Always responsive and clearly great with my pup. Will absolutely book again!
