House Sitting in North Barrington

“Danette is a wonderful with all the animals. She made sure that our babies were cuddled at night and played with during day. We received a daily rapport from her with beautiful pictures of our gang. Can't thank her enough for her help during our absence.”

About: I am an animal lover to the fullest and your neighborhood pet sitter! Being around dogs is a form of therapy for me; I also give the best chin and belly rubs a pet could ask for... so it's a win-win! I grew up in a dog household. I will properly care for your pet as if they were my own. My schedule is very flexible and I am open to working with your busy schedule and your pets' needs. I have experience with many kittens and full grown cats and puppies as well as elderly dogs. I am learning more about this industry and pets everyday and loving every day of it! I look forward to meeting you and becoming your pets' newest friend!

“Jacob was incredible. He stopped by to meet our boys last week. They immediately took to his kind calming demeanour. He was as very personable and kept us informed periodically throughout the day with pictures and updates on our boys. We are very thankful for him and would use him as our sitter again in a heartbeat.”

“Joseph was great with our dogs, they were in a great mood when we got home! Good communicator and house sitter. He’s stayed with our dogs twice now and we will definitely book him again!”

“Haley and Alex came through for me in a very last-minute and stressful situation due to a family emergency. They stayed with my Boys and kept them happy and cared for in my home while I was out of town. They were great about keeping me updated, especially knowing how stressed I was since this was the first time anyone besides my immediate family took care of my pups. I would definitely book them again and will recommend them to all of my pet parent friends! 🐶🐾”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life and love interacting with them and spending my time with them! Whether that’s just sitting around or being outside playing/walking! I’m very much an animal person! I work full time but 12 hour shifts so I only work 3 days a week. My work schedule is 7AM-7:30PM. I can wake up early to let them out and feed them and can take care of them when I get home but on my days off my attention goes to them when needed! I make sure I listen to exactly when and how the pets need to be cared for. I don’t over push the walks or the play time. I make sure if I am staying in the clients house that I keep it clean and listen to their rules and expectation for me staying. I also make sure I communicate often and keep up with updates to the clients.

“Dahyron was amazing! We were expecting the birth of our first child but obviously things can happen at any minute late in pregnancy. He was super flexible and accommodating with the time frame. We even hung out with him for a while after the induction was pushed back. Our dogs loved him and he provided great updates during our stay at the hospital. Will book again!”

Mary Beth H.

“Cadence was a blessing! She was a perfect match for us and our 2 sphynx kittens, I'm sure they were so happy to spend the time with Cadence. We will definitely reach out to request her for our next trip, thank you Cadence for being a great loving sister and for keeping our home tidy. Looking forward to the next time!”

“I had the pleasure of having Maddie look after my dogs and house while I was away, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She was reliable, sent a picture of my dogs, communication was great. My dogs seemed so happy and well taken care of when we returned. She left my house just as we left it. I will be using Maddie again.”
