Pet Sitting in Niles

“Jessica took wonderful care of my two senior cats, Mrs. Cat and Ms. Baby, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the start, she was kind, attentive, and genuinely devoted to their comfort and well-being. She sent thoughtful updates and photos, which gave me such peace of mind, especially knowing how much care older cats require. When I returned home, both kitties were calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. It’s rare to find someone so patient and compassionate. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone seeking a truly caring and trustworthy pet sitter.”

“Katherine is fantastic!! She is super compassionate, attentive, and punctual. She took great care of our two cats while we were away for a few days. Our diabetic cat needs three medications daily, including an oral pill and an insulin injection, and Katherine handled them like a pro. Great communication from the time we reached out to her. Highly highly recommend!”

“Nicholas was the best! His care for my feisty cat was amazing. I especially appreciated his updates and good communication about the particulars, and he also attended to details. He went above and beyond and all respects.”

About: While I’m beginning my professional pet care journey, I’ve been around animals my entire life — including cats, dogs, turtles, and more — and I’m very comfortable providing loving, compassionate, high-quality care. I’m intuitive, empathetic, detail-oriented, and a strong communicator, which I believe are all important qualities when caring for animals. I understand how important it is to place your pets in trustworthy hands, and I’ll always treat your fur babies with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I’m not just there to complete tasks — I genuinely love animals and enjoy bonding with them, making sure they feel loved, comforted, and cared for while their humans are away. Whether your pet needs a fun, active environment or a calm and relaxing space, I’m happy to accommodate their unique personality and needs to help them feel happy, safe and comfortable while in my care. Thank you for considering me! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! :) I have a very flexible schedule as someone who creates my own work hours, which allows me to accommodate many different schedules and give your pet plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I care for your pets in your home with the same love, attention, and respect that I would give my own. I greet them warmly and offer plenty of pets, cuddles, affection, and companionship based on their individual personality and comfort level. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, playtime, and any additional accommodations or care requested. For pets who require walks, I ensure they are safely harnessed and comfortable while allowing them time to explore and sniff at their own pace. I stay attentive to their surroundings, prioritize their safety around other animals, and make sure they remain comfortable in all weather conditions — never too hot or too cold. My goal is always to help your pets feel safe, cared for, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. :)

“Elva was great with my dogs! She is professional, reliable, always on time, and truly cares about making sure my babies get the most out of their visit. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands, and they were always happy and well cared for after spending time with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for dogs and am comfortable with a wide range of breeds, sizes ,and personalities. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, and providing companionship while owners are away. I am dependable, patient and always committed to ensuring that every dog feels safe and happy.

I can also help with walks, feeding, and play time Monday through Fridays, after 5pm. I follow all instructions that are given to me by the pups owner. I provide, feeding, fresh water, walks, exercise, play time, and plenty of attention. I make sure that the home is kept clean and secure. I will also communicate with the owner regularly with updates and photos.

“This was our first experience leaving our cat Bandit with a sitter and Janette made us feel so comfortable. She stopped by before we left to learn all about him and his habits. She gave us full reports, videos and pictures so we knew how he was doing each day. He was very happy! I could not recommend Janette & Charles more!”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, and even a bunny. I've had pets of all sizes and personalities and know how important it is to have someone you trust when you're away. Whether it's cuddles, playtime, or a relaxing walk, I treat every pet like my own. Let me give your furry friend the care and attention they deserve💜 I work from home most weekdays and have flexibility to pop in and spend some time with your fur babies or stay a few hours and work from your home. I can either go to your house and spend a few minutes or a few hours depending on you and your fur babies needs. Open to options

About: Hello, my name is Hannah. I am a part time art instructor and online Art Therapy student. I prioritize attentiveness and timeliness in my teaching as well as dog walking and sitting. I love all animals, have dog walked locally on and off since I was in middle school, and have had a dog of my own for 10 years. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I am an active person and look forward to taking your pet on frequent walks, or even runs! I’m currently working part-time and attending online school, so I have a lot of availability for overnight dog sitting, as well as many walks and drop-ins throughout the day. Besides a few mid-day classes and teaching the occasional night class, my schedule allows me to be very flexible. I treat all pets the way I would want my own dog, Sailor, to be treated. Your pets safety and happiness are my top priorities! I aim to create a stress free experience for you, and a fun experience for your pet.

“Mary did a great job. Our 6 mo old puppy is skittish with strangers and Mary’s knowledge and manner allowed them to get along as well as could be expected, certainly well enough to keep her safe and cared for. We are hoping to become regular customers :-)”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, Quincy (18) until I was 8 years old, and Leela (12) ever since. I have lots of experience pet sitting for large and small dogs, cleaning up messes, and picking up waste! I live at home with my family, and I work full time as a marketing rep! I am constantly active and on the go! I typically walk my own dog once or twice at night, and my other family members walk her mid day. Usually, I can walk as far as the dog needs/wants (with some exceptions such as age and injury), feeding, treating with medication orally or topically.

About: I have experience with many types of animals, including my own. I have volunteered at standard animal shelters and even horse rescues. I have been sitting for a few months now with some wonderful families. Check out my references for more details! Fun Fact: I have also owned cats, dogs, and even a guinea pig. Since I am an online nursing student, I have a completely flexible schedule. You tell me when you need me! I am available weekdays, weekends, and weeknights. I am great with medication management as well as making sure your pet has adequate play time outside their traditional routines. I am also good at following directions on how you want your pet's day to look.

“Leah is so great! She did a phenomenal job taking care of my cat while I was away, giving me the peace of mind that my cat was in great hands. Highly recommended!”

“Ann is an amazing sitter! She’s cared for my pups on several occasions while I am out of town, each a very positive experience. Very dependable, responsive, and communication was great. I returned home to everything in perfect order and two very happy pups. I would absolutely recommend Ann to friends and continue booking with her in the future.”

About: I volunteered at PAWS Chicago, walked dogs at Chicago K9 Rescue, and lived and cared for a cat in the past. Super comfortable around animals. I’m a college student on break for the summer, so there isn’t much going on day to day; my schedule is very flexible. I will be patient with your pet and try to make things as comfortable as possible for him/her. I will also respect your home and any rules you set for your house.

About: I’ve had dogs in my household since I was 4 years old and all of my family has dogs. I currently own a Great Dane so I’m comfortable walking or watching any size dog. I love all types of dogs big or small! I’ve spent time letting out dogs for friends and family and have also volunteered at a pet shelter giving dogs walks. I am not working right now so my schedule is very flexible. I currently take care of one family of dogs for an hour in the afternoons otherwise I’m available the rest of the day to let dogs out or take them for walks. I would be able to come to the client’s home to let the dogs out or take them for a walk if that is what is asked.

About: You are working late for the peak season or you may need to travel for several days. You are worrying about your furry friend at home who has been indoor and alone all day long. Worrying about if they eat or drink or pooped yet. Worrying about if they run out of home or not. This is something I'd worry about my cats and dogs when I'm out for work. Every day I would spend some time with my pets to play, train, and talk with them. The more I communicate with pets, the more they'd understand me, including my orders and requests. I'd do the same with your dog as well! Talk with your dog, understand he/she's feeling. This would really help to build a relationship with your pet! If they like jogging or fetching, we can definitely do more on that! Keep every dog in a healthy shape, lose weight and gain more muscle. Or if they prefer to get some belly rubs or do some training, that would be my pleasure to serve as well~ I will bring a water bottle with filtered water (if your dog only drinks with the bottle he/she familiar with, it would be great if you would share it with me during the walk) After each exercise, I will make sure to keep your dog hydrated, and give some treats for awards. I will also take some videos and photos for you to see how he/she is doing! Tell me more about your dog, let me know what he/she likes/don't likes to do. Let me know him/her ahead of time would help me to do my job.

“I could not expect more from Katy, Addy and Holden. They were truly the best to my two kitties. Tons of pictures that any pet owner would love to see! So grateful to have them while I was gone! Will definitely have them back very soon! ♥️”

“Michael was great! Our pup has some aggression and resource guarding and I was nervous about using a service. Michael’s calm demeanor put him at ease immediately. We will definitely be asking Michael to check-in and walk our pup again!”
