House Sitting North Lawndale

About: I’ve lived with dogs my entire life. Everything from labs, adopted mutts, terriers, vizslas, poodles, goldendoodles, big, medium, and small. I have yet to meet a breed that I can't whisper to. While my profile on Rover is new, I have been walking and house-sitting dogs on the side for years, for neighbors in the area and a small network of family friends I've kept up since middle school. Additionally, I am a serious runner and regularly put in 20-30 miles a week. If you have a Vizsla, Greyhound, Weimaraner, or any other high-energy breed that needs a run to blow off some steam, please reach out! I’d love to take them out with me on the trails. Primarily, I serve the West Suburbs, West Loop, and North Side neighborhoods; I currently reside in the Oak Park area, and attend the UIC campus on Harrison and Halsted. Please note: To ensure the absolute best and safest care for your pup, I do require a quick Meet & Greet before accepting any first-time bookings Looking forward to hearing from you. I am currently in summer school at UIC, and will be in class from 8am to noon on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so your dog would be alone for about 4 hours on those days. Before I leave, they will get a good walk, and when I'm back they'll spend the rest of the day with me doing homework, tutoring, or getting outside for a walk or run. I always treat every dog like my own. I make sure they are secure, comfortable, get all the pets and treats they need, and are never alone longer than necessary. You will also receive daily updates along the way, so you'll always know how they're doing.

“Justice took good care of my dog and four cats. She was very communicative and had to follow a medication regimen and somewhat complicated feeding system. I will definitely book her again when I’m next out of town!”

“Kelso made me feel at ease while watching my chihuahua, Selena, while I was out of town. I was very nervous having someone new come in that I didn’t know seeing as my ex always watched my dog for me in the past. This was my first time hiring someone. She gave me updates with pictures and videos that I loved! Great communication throughout the stay. Selena enjoyed her company as well and I will definitely use her in the future as long as she is available! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone I know looking for a sitter. Thanks kelso!”

“Nicole came in clutch with a last minute house sitting for our two cats, one of which is sick. She did such a great job looking after them and administering oral medication. Extremely communicative, attentive to detail, and truly caring for our pets. Went above and beyond. Highly recommend and we are excited to work with Nicole again soon!”

“Ale was so amazing! I have a senior dog who doesn't like other dogs, but Ale was able to stay over, take him on walks, and give him lots of love. My apartment was also cleaner when I got back than how I left it, which was super nice! I think Rocky had a great time and I would definitely recommend Ale :)”

“Perniall is an exceptionally kind individual who took great care of both our elderly cat and dog. Both of our babies have special needs due to their age and " disabilities " and Perniall handled all that with great care and compassion. He was a great communicator and our apartment was as tidy as we had left it when we returned. Would happily hire him again.”

“Jessica was so communicative, clean and kind!! She has a calm energy that our golden retriever was drawn to immediately. We received lots of updates and pictures while we were away and came home to a very clean apartment. Our dog seemed very satisfied with all the walks and playtime which he needed. Definitely recommend! 😊”

“Zoe was very attentive with our Lady; as a senior dog with a host of medications, (admittedly) her care was a real commitment and a challenge. We greatly appreciate Zoe for stepping in for such an undertaking during our time away.”

“Xena loved her time with Andres. I was regularly updated with pictures and always felt like Xena was well cared for. I came home to a happy pup all thanks to Andres. Highly recommend.”

“Kat was Great! Our pups took an immediate liking to her and she was able to keep up with them the whole week that we were gone. She was very attentive and went over and above the call of duty when it came to walks in colder weather. Kat was also very respectful of our home and upon our return everything was as we left it. Our pups love Kat and we will rebook with her soon. We highly recommend Kat!”

“Had a great experience with Tammy, who provided in-home dog-sitting for our two dogs while we were away for a couple of weeks. She was kind, professional, communicative, and took very good care of the fur babies. We returned to a tidy house and a couple of happy, healthy doggos. Will definitely ask her to sit for us again, and would recommend her to others!”

“Cristian was awesome. Very communicative and asked all the right questions before booking and updated us frequently with what was going on with our dog. He went above and beyond and took him for an extra walk and feed when our flight was delayed for 4 hours. I’ll definitely book him again!”
