House Sitting in North Chicago

“Nyree took great care for our Lola (9 year old boxer mix). Lola is required to take supplements and medication due to a kidney stone and just recovered from UTI. Thanks to Nyree Lola is back in better health and had no accidents since. I bet she looks forward to stay with the family again.”

“Beth was wonderful. She took the time to meet our crew in advance, she stayed in touch while we were gone and was flexible when we unexpectedly had our trip delayed a day. We plan to reach out again for any future pet sitting needs!”

About: I am a caring, responsible, and hard-working young woman who loves spending time with dogs. My husband (Brett) and I both love and care for dogs together. We have had dogs of our own and truly enjoy caring for them. Currently, we have a golden retriever of our own (Wriglee). We are attentive and follow instructions to a T. Recently we have been repeatedly dog sitting for families when they are out of town and have had a very positive experience. I can provide references if needed. Most of all, we look forward to caring for your dog! I am currently completing my Master's in Applied Behavior Analysis, much of which is focused on animal training and behavior. Being a student gives me a pretty open schedule that I can adjust to your dog's needs. I love sharing my time and love, being active and playing with the dogs inside or out on the yard, as well as taking them out for walks. I have a large fenced-in yard for your pup to run around freely. I am watchful of gates and doors to ensure that no doggies leave the premises. The maximum number of dogs I have taken care of/walked at a time during the same session is 3, but I am open to more if necessary.

“Kelly absolutely is the best sitter. She was able to calm our puppy and spend lots of quality time with her. The photos she took and sent gave us reassurance our puppy was in good hands. I highly recommend Kelly!!!”

“Lauren stayed in our home with our three energetic dogs for 4 days/nights. Our pups warmed up to her quickly and she sent a ton of photos and updates. She took great care of them and we would be happy to hire her again. Thanks again Lauren!”

“Hannah is the best! She was so good with our unruly bunch. We received updates and photos every day. The house was spotless and the animals happy! If we could give her 10 stars we would?”

“Luisa take care of my two dogs and they are always happy to see her so I think that speaks a lot of the great work that she did”

“Ellie was great with our big high energy dog! Loved the communication and the pictures! We will definite ask her to stay with our dog again!”

About: I’ve been able to manage and care for pets since a kid. For some reason dogs love me and the feeling has been very mutual. I work during the day and go to schools on the weekends early mornings. It will be perfect to fill in the blank spots were I feel I’m bored I care for all pets with their safety and health in mind. Treat the pets the same way I would want someone to treat me and

“Danya was fantastic. She stayed at our house for 2 nights. The dogs were happy and well cared for, the house was perfect and she even washed my sheets! Highly recommend and we will have her over again!”

“We are so grateful that we found Jill! She treats out doggies with so much love and care. She truly goes above and beyond and we highly recommend her!!! She is a natural with animals (and humans too!!)”

“Holly was available for a short notice overnight stay at our house watching two energetic terrier mix dogs. Dogs loved her and they got plenty of attention. Holly also gave us fun updates on how the dogs were doing. We’d definitely hire Holly again!”

“Although Bree is new to Rover we felt extremely comfortable leaving our 13 year old dog in her capable hands. She kept us updated daily with their activities and photos. ( I think my dog had a better time than we did ! ) Bree took very good care of our home and left it clean and tidy. We would most definitely recommend Bree to anyone needing help with their pets. I know we will use her again!”

“She takes incredibly good care of her own dog and she's one of the friendliest animal-loving people I know. Your pet will get the star treatment with her, guaranteed!”

“Iszie, was super sweet & kept me in the loop while I was gone. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care!”

“Avery is a very loving and kind person, not only with people but also with her pets! Her dog Badger is one my all time fav dogs, she gives him all the attention he needs. She will throw that tennis to him forever! She also cares for her cat Butters, who is such a bundle of joy. I have no doubt in my mind that Avery would be the best option for being a pet caregiver”

“Tavia is an real angel!! She saved the day by taking care of our lil Stanlee last minute! 100/10 would recommend her to anyone!”

“I have been a client of Fama for 6 years now! I’ve been around since she was a rookie. I knew her passion for animals because I volunteered with her at a shelter so I decided to give her a shot and it has been one of the best decisions for my two dogs. I am a travel nurse now! I actually met her while I was doing my mandatory volunteer work for nursing school at the shelter. I am very picky with who I trust with my babies and I never have to worry one bit with her. Depending on how long I’m gone she either stops drops in and walks them three times a day or she keeps them at her apartment to make things easier. Something I love her about her is she always goes all out. She always has these multivitamin treats for them which I think is just awesome and so cute. She also likes to make sure they get a change of scenery every once in a while so she’ll take them to the dog park or a local trail and they absolutely love it! They are still young so they love the exercise and adventure. One of my babies actually just got sick not too long ago. And she had to be on medicine. I could not get her to take it for the life of me. So I actually ended up paying her just to give my dog her meds because she’s really good at it! She’s just absolutely amazing and a godsend.”

“Every animal Ethan meets is immediately drawn to him. He has been an animal lover since birth, and was raised in his home with family pets, Pumpkin, Scruffles and Bella. Ethan is a compassionate, highly attentive and responsible pet lover who treats all pets as if they were his own, and is fiercely protective and passionate about animal rights. If you hire Ethan as a pet sitter, the owners of these pets couldn't leave their bundles of joy in more reliable and loving hands. Ethan is the pet whisperer! Hire him now! Ester N.”

“Rachel was a great choice for our recent trip, we will definitely use her again. She came three times a day and spent plenty of time with our pups, as well as sent photos. We highly recommend!”
