Cat Sitting North Hayden

About: House sitting, dog walks, training and drop in visits for all pets. I have cared for animals my entire life, from dogs and cats to small pets. I am actively training dogs with structured leash and behavior support during walks. I have raised puppies through two litters, so I understand the patience, attention and care they need at every stage. Animals have always been part of my family, loving companions and treated as such. I treat every pet I meet as I would treat my own. Whether it's walks, playtime, or keeping them comfortable in your home, I provide dependable, loving care that keeps tails wagging and the owners at ease. I know dogs thrive on routine, so I'm happy to provide weekly care at consistent times; walks, play or just someone to sit with while you're at work or on vacation. Premium overnight care for pets who deserve a calm, experienced caregiver. Thoughtful communication, respectful home care, and personalized attention while you're away. Daily walks are part of my own health and wellness routine, and caring for pets fits right in. Sadly, my own dogs have passed, and the right one hasn't come into my life yet. Until then, I would love the chance to share my time, energy and affection with other's people pets. Dogs especially bring me joy, and walking them keeps both of us happy, active and cared for. I'd like your dog to know me as their regular walking buddy. I follow each pet parent's instructions closely and respect their home. My focus is on your pet's safety and comfort, and well-being so you can feel confident they are cared for while you're away. I am available for consistent weekly walks, drop-ins, and over night house sitting.

“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter Heather while we were away on vacation. She took excellent care of our dog and gave us peace of mind knowing our pet was in such capable and caring hands. We especially appreciated the thoughtful photo updates she sent, which made us smile and helped us feel connected while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cared about our dog's happiness and well-being during each visit. We would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter.”

“Alyssa was absolutely amazing! From coming over for a meet and greet to get to know my two Frenchies to being very attentive when I was explaining all the different foods and directions to tend to them. She was very professional, on-time + treated our dogs like her own. We will be using Alyssa every time we can.”

“Mackenzie is amazing! She is so kind and gentle with my girl and Mia absolutely loves her. She goes above and beyond to make sure Mia is comfortable and enjoying every visit. She plays ball, she takes her for a walks, and make sure that Mia is getting the attention she deserves when I can’t be at home. I trust Mackenzie with a piece of my heart and have absolutely no regrets.”

“Alexa was great with my elder kitty. Normally she doesn't like new people and hides from anyone who isnt me, but with Alexa she came up to her and even ate a treat right out of her hand. Check ins were all prompt and she took the time to try to play with her each day in addition to making sure she was well fed and had a cleaned box.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I have house sat for at least three different people and took care of their pets! I’ve worked with senior dogs and puppies. I also have a part time job at a pet store so I have a decent amount of knowledge on pets and am more than happy to get things from the store for you! I have also administered medicine to a dog with health issues so I am comfortable administering medicine. I work part-time at a pet store! But I have time in between these things to drop in on pets and walk them, play with them, and even feed them. I’m happy to do whatever needs to be done’ My cat is older so she doesn’t play much anymore, but I’ve played with lots of kitties before. I’ve also played with dogs, big and small. My old home had a fenced in yard that I used to play with the dogs in. I no longer have that, but I love taking my own dog on long walks to burn off some of that energy!

About: We have a grumble of two pugs, two kids (8 and 9) I work from home so I have the time to take them out all day. We have had our pugs since they were babies, except for our late rescue who became paralyzed and needed our help with both urinary and fecal expression, as well as medications administered. We are experienced with puppies to older special needs dogs. We do not, at the time, feel comfortable with having aggressive breed of dogs in our home with our grumble of pugs or our children. We have a ranch home with no carpet, it is a very pet friendly home with a fenced yard as well. We are happy to help you with your fur babies too!~ I’m always home other than quick trips out to run the kids to sports or errands as I work at home so able to take them out very frequently Our yard is fenced, scenic view on a large pond, and extremely dog and kid friendly Our dogs and kids love to keep younger dogs busy and senior dogs cozy. They will feel right at home during their stay with us!

About: Hi! I have cared for dogs technically my whole life since I grew up with them. When I went to college I got a dog of my own and have had another since then. I love going on walks and playing with dogs. I am a part time nanny, but go on a walk every morning, afternoon, and evening. On top of that I do potty breaks first thing in the morning and before bed. I have a puppy proofed home since I have a pup of my own. I don’t have a fence but know how to get a dog’s energy out by playing however their style is and am good assessing what a dog needs.

About: Please take into consideration the quality of your pet sitter over a low rate inexperienced "pet lover" that just wants to watch animals . There's a difference. "RATES LISTED HERE ARE BASIC RATES- THEY MAY BE ADJUSTED ON A CASE BY CASE SCENARIO (UP OR DOWN) DEPENDING ON THAT ANIMALS PARTICULAR NEEDS" *******IMO- ANIMALS trump most people 😁 I Specialize in special needs animals & alternative ways to treat that aren't offered by most vets due to my life long experience , I know what works. I also am fond on taking care of any & all animals including horses and farm animals. Right down to guinea pigs n snakes of all kinds. If you need dog boarding, as long as I have notice I can make myself available & home 24/7 ** I work M-F daily, so any animal I can work into my schedule is a great fit. I cannot do daily letting out of dogs unless I have NOTICE (deposit required) I am open to ANY animal watched in my home if that is preferential. I can also "stay" in your home outside of my daily work schedule I'm in a huge farm house, large yard and except for weekly job am always home for one on one. Im extremely close to my local vet and have dealt with many different situations.

About: Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priority. I provide loving, reliable care with plenty of updates, photos, playtime, and cuddles—so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in great hands! I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the week. Starting in August, I’ll be attending school two days a week, but I’ll still have plenty of availability to care for your pets. I do not offer overnight house sitting, but I’m committed to providing dependable, loving care and keeping you updated with photos and messages during each visit. I care for every pet with love, patience, and respect, treating them as if they were my own. I’m honest, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs and routine. Whether it’s feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, or simply providing companionship, my goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I love to treat everyone with respect and kindness and I will treat your babies the same! I am available in Chicago and the south suburbs. I am currently working full time! However, I have time to play with your pups on weekends when I’m off and weekdays when I’m off work! I love pups and I will take care of them like they are my own! I have a fenced yard and I will deliver service that can be trusted. You can check on your babies anytime and I will send pictures as well!

“Erin was incredible with our dog Trooper. She was great at giving us updates and made sure our boy was happy and well taken care of while we were gone. We highly recommend her!”

“Amber is awesome! Our second time working with Amber. We had previously worked with her back in October and when a trip after Christmas came up, she was the first person we thought of. She's super awesome about checking on the little ones and making sure all was right with them. The kids and I loved the updates with the photos of our little ones. While we always worry leaving our pets home, we felt good knowing they were in great hands with Amber.”

About: I have a shetland sheepdog named Bandit he is only 2yrs old and so rambunctious and is eager to always learn but is snippy at times. He is hyper and loves to play, I walk him twice a day an play with him for 2 hours per day and on the weekend I take him to a dog park to play with the other dogs he absolutely loves it. I’m good with special needs dogs if there are any I work with. I also work with horses and my hobbies include horseback riding and drawing. I also like music and I’m trying to get in shape so running with your dog should help me with that. I work full time right now and only have a few days of the week off but I’m a early riser and love to get the day rolling with a early morning walk with my dog. I always ask for vet info, address, name of clinic and a second phone number if I can’t get ahold of you I ask what your dogs quirks could be or if there’s anything that would catch me off guard.
