Pet Sitting in Morton

“Kristal is the best pet sitter. We love having her take care of our cats. She is so professional and so good with our cats that we have no worries when we are away. She is simply the best sitter we have ever had.”

Rod H.

“Katelyn walks my dog weekly and also stayed overnight last minute. My dog is a bit needy and Katelyn responds so patiently to her! She sends pictures during her visit and is so kind. Leave your pets with her if you’re usually nervous about leaving them with other people like I am!!”

“Neena is friendly and communicative. She spent lots of quality time with our kitty while we were away. We felt good knowing he was well cared for.”

Alice C.

“Izzy is fantastic, we highly recommend her!! She is so sweet with our pets. It's so nice to know they're in dependable and capable hands when we're away! Thank you Izzy!!”

“Jess was amazing! She was very communicative the entire time and even sent pictures with updates. She was great with my pup and even stayed to play with her for a little bit, and ensure my dog had some food and water before leaving. Will definitely be booking with Jess again in the future!”

Kyle C.

“This was my first time using Rover. I was very skeptical to be honest. Allie did great with both of my dogs. She showed up when she told me she would and she sent me pictures and notes which I appreciated very much.”

About: I have had a dog all my life. Growing up we had Boxers. In my adult married life we have had Labrador Retrievers . These dogs have not been dogs but fur kids. I have taken them to obedience classes so I have experience in commands and working with them. I believe that fur kids need plenty of exercise on and off leashes. Dog parks are a good way to socialize them and get in exercise. In the home mind games are fun too. Sniffing out a treat to playing with toys on the floor with them. I love taking pictures and document what we do. You will know what your fur child is doing. I am currently working for home during the week day so being with them during the day works. I am able to take breaks and go on short walks. Play with them in our fenced in yard. I plan on retirement in May so I will be available 24/7, 365 days a year. I am willing to come into your home if you would feel more comfortable. If they come to my home we have a fenced in yard and will be able to play with our 2 fur boys. One is an 8 year old chocolate Labrador and the other is a 5 year old German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees. Both have had other dogs come into the home and stayed with us. They love having visitors. In your home I will attend to their needs as you have outlined.

About: I've always been the family member my family could call on to take care of their dogs when they were out. I've walked/been walked by an energetic husky, I've looked after a blind/deaf elderly shih tzu, I've spent hours playing with a cuddly golden retriever, and now I want to help take care of your pets. My schedule is fairly free for weekday/weekend care, earlier in the morning would work better for me but if you need me to come over at the evening/night time, I'd be more than happy to do so. My drop-ins involve a quick to-do list to take care of the basics (any food bowl, water, or potty attention), followed by playtime until I can ensure your pet is happy and satisfied. If you'd like me to have some photos of your pet whether I'm doing in home care or taking them for a walk, let me know and if there's an opening, I'll gladly snap a few photos for you on my phone!

About: I love dogs and want to adopt all of them! I had a Boston Terrier who was my little shadow. Since I don't have the time to adopt a new dog, I figured pet sitting would be a great way to fill the spaces left that only dogs know how to fill. I work as a nurse at the hospital M-F 730-4. I can do drop in appointments before and after work, or could pet sit overnight. I have 2 indoor cats. I'm unsure of how they are with dogs but they get along with other cats well. If needed, I could keep the animals separated. At your home, I would follow whatever directions are given, offer some play time or snuggle time, and send updates about your pet.

“Jackie was great at communicating with me. Really appreciated all the photos, notes, and timely visits! Will definitely ask her to help again!”

Kathy S.

“Maddy was great with my cats! Sent lots of pictures and good updates. Would definitely book with her again.”

“Lola was very accommodating and even though she was very busy in her home life, she was still able to stop by and visit our cat. We highly recommend her to others :)”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and started helping with their care at age 10. Though the last 12 years have truly deepened my experience and love for animal care. Currently, I share my home with four cats and a German Shepherd/Husky puppy! Over the years, I’ve had the honor of caring for pets with special needs, both my own and those of friends and loved ones. My puppy and I have completed two 6-week training courses with Canine Initiative – and yes, we still practice those skills daily (with varying levels of success depending on how many squirrels we’ve seen that day). One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for my border collie, Nina, after a serious injury. She needed help walking with a harness, regular cleaning, medications, vet visits, and lots of love. After 2.5 months of dedicated care, she was back on her feet, and we were lucky to share two more wonderful years together. I also cared for her through a late-in-life diabetes diagnosis, which included daily insulin and increased mobility support. I’ve administered medications to dogs including insulin, ear drops, and oral meds, and I’m especially mindful about keeping pets calm and comfortable during care routines. I’m always happy to learn your exact process — whether through an in-person tutorial or a video — to keep your dog’s stress to a minimum. I’m open to caring for dogs with medical or physical needs, with the understanding that for mobility support using a harness, I’m most experienced with dogs 45 lbs. or less. That said, I’m absolutely comfortable walking and caring for dogs over 50 lbs. as long as they are well-mannered on a leash. While I may not be the strongest person physically, I’m confident with larger dogs who don’t pull or lunge too much. If your pup is a gentle giant, we’ll get along just fine on walks! My youngest (age 12) and I work great together playing and giving positive attention to dogs. She has attended most of the dog training classes with me and shown an interest in attending more. If you would prefer myself only, I completely understand! Should your animal need urgent care and I am able to take them to the vet, we are very familiar and close with Morton Animal Hospital and Banfield Pet Hospital. I cannot recommend them enough! If more assistance is needed than the general care/dog walking, I will adjust the rate and will be happy to discuss this with you. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions! I am currently off for the summer and will have various appointments and activities to do with my children and animals. I am able to adjust my schedule at this time but will let you know if I have anything scheduled during the days needed. I understand sometimes extra or unexpected trips are needed to check on your pet. At this time, I am off for the summer and am able to provide care throughout the day for my own pets. Depending on your dogs activity level, I would prefer to care for your dog at your home due to my dogs young and energetic puppy self, as well as my four indoor cats. Should it work out with bringing your dog to my home and remaining outside with me, I do live on a busy street in town and do experience unsafe, fast driving cars at times (Idlewood). With that said, our yard is completely fenced in, though our back and front fence is 5 ft. in height. Larger, escape artist dogs may have the ability to hop the fence and if that is a concern, I would rather not risk bringing your dog to my home.

“Katherine was super nice and a great cat sitter! She took lots of pictures of my kittens for me and even swept up cat litter when my cats made a bit of a mess. Would definitely rebook with her!”

Elizabeth V.

“Jennifer W was great - extremely professional, punctual, caring, and detail oriented. I highly recommend her and we definitely hope to rely on her again!”

“Michelle and Caleb did an amazing job with Marley. Great communication, they showed up on time and were patient and understanding with Marley even though he was a bit skittish around them. Will definitely use their services again in the future.”

About: I just love animals and want to help take care of them. This is my second job and my availability is variable. My schedule is iffy so I may be able to watch your pets. I’m a young adult looking to get some extra money. I have dog sat before for neighbors and friends but I haven’t done a lot of the overnight stuff. Mostly I just have let dogs out and walk them and if you have special needs I can usually do those. I am very energetic, caring, and love dogs, but I don’t have one due to my parents. I am hoping to eventually own a dog. I can’t wait to work for you and help take care of your best friends! I’m currently working full time and available to let dogs out before and after work and on my lunch break. I also typically have Sunday and Monday off until my schedule changes in August. I am typically used to drop in and walking dogs but I’ve also dog sat once or twice overnight. Usually I’m just dog sitting for friends and family but looking to branch out!

About: I have had pets all my life so 17 years of experience. I know how to take care puppies, senior dogs, and special need dogs. I am currently in high school at Morton High school and I am working part time at Starbucks. I can stop by any time after 3 pm. I usually woke nights at Starbucks so I can stop by early in the morning for a walk and I can stop by after work too. I have a huge fenced in yard with 2 friendly and playful small sized dogs. I can easily crate your dog when I am not home. I have a doggie door that leads into my backyard and they will have access to it all day long. When I dog sit for family friends I try to at least spend 4 hours in their house to play with the dog and go for a walk.

About: I have always taken care of my families pets. When I was 5 I rescued a small kitten. It needed a lot of care and attention. I bottle fed her and made sure she got all her medications. When I turned 19 I was able to get my first dog. He is a high energy bundle of fluff and love. He injured his leg. I made sure that he received extra care and attention so that he could get back to chasing off those dangerous squirrels again. 😅. I believe pets are an important part of anyone's family, and I love seeing them happy. I am pretty open as far as my schedule goes. Looking to make this a career. Message me and we can set up a time. I will work with you. I am open for a long term arrangement. I can make sure your pet spends time outside. We will go for a walk. I can make sure they have plenty of food and water, as well as any medication they need. I can also give them a bath if you would like. I want to make sure they have a fulfilling playful experience.
