Dog Sitting Northbrook

About: I have had dogs all my life. I enjoy helping walk, groom and play with them so they can relax and nap by the fireplace. I have trained puppies and also have had senior dogs too as well as meds admin also. I work from home so dogs are vital to me and they make me feel so happy. I love them and they love me so it is a win win. It is nice to be popular too with my K9s as they enjoy my big fenced in yard too which we love to run around in and play all day. I follow directions given to me and listen to the owners as they know their baby best. Other than that I give the dogs all my love and attention.

About: Hi! I’ve been a lifelong animal lover, and I’ve had pets all my life — so I know how much pets mean to their families. My girlfriend introduced me to Rover, and since then, I’ve been all in. I currently walk up to 10 dogs a day and board around 2 dogs each month, and I truly enjoy every minute of it. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs long walks or a shy cat who just wants a quiet companion, I treat every pet like my own. I know how important trust is when it comes to pet care, and I always go the extra mile to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I’d love the chance to meet your pet and give them the care and attention they deserve! Pet care is a major part of my daily routine. I work in real estate, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of control over my time. This flexibility allows me to dedicate consistent blocks of time each day to walking dogs, doing drop-in visits, and boarding pets comfortably in my home. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and trust always come first. In my home, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I make sure there are no hazards within reach, keep any unfamiliar pets separated as needed, and provide plenty of space for relaxation, play, and personal time. I follow any routines or rules you provide so your pet feels comfortable and secure—just like they would at home. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I follow all instructions closely, keep your pet’s schedule consistent, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. I’m always attentive to their behavior, energy levels, and comfort to make sure they’re safe and happy throughout the visit. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, or quiet companionship, I’m committed to providing a trustworthy, low-stress experience for both you and your pet.

“Abigail is a great cat sitter. She made a point of visiting our apartment before she started looking after Dash, which put us at ease. She kept us updated on him with photos and observations. She even offered to stop by outside the scheduled time to refill his water. I recommend her!”

About: Growing up, I’ve had a few dogs I helped raise and take care of. I also help with my sister’s and my friends’ dogs as much as I can. I enjoy playing and walking with dogs! I work full time but I am usually available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I can be flexible too when needed. Happy to help when I can! I will ensure to respect my clients’ homes and how they want their dogs to be taken care of, whether they’d like for their dog to be walked or let outside in their backyard. I can send updates to clients as requested.

About: I’ve cared for dogs since our family fostered a neighbor’s pup when I was 8 years old. Since then, in my multi-dog household, I have successfully cared for, trained, and housebroken puppies as well as cared for senior dogs. I have extensive experience training and handling reactive and anxious dogs (medium & large breeds), including handling multiple at the same time. I’ve been relied on my neighbors, family, and friends to care for their beloved dogs and cats for many years. I am a warm and compassionate experienced pet owner who is used to caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I currently do not work a 9-5 job, so I have lots of flexibility and time to spend caring for pets. I am available for dog walking as well as house sitting and pop-in playtime. ** Though I cannot board a pet in my own home, I am more than happy to spend lots of time with your pet to keep them company as well as playtime with my two dogs to keep them company if desired. I can provide a regular walk schedule on weekdays and weekends. I am available to house sit to keep your dog’s schedule and environment as consistent as needed. **

About: I grew up with a Bernese Mountain Dog and have watched/walked countless dogs throughout my 24yrs of life. From energetic to mellow, introverted to extroverted, and aggressive to gentle. I have always been able to breakthrough and bring out the sweethearts they are! I have experience working with mistreated Pit Bulls during my time in college. On top of that, I spent a summer volunteering in a dog van bathing service. Plain and simple, I have spent a lot of time with dogs! I truly love them and think they are all wonderful with the proper care and affection! Pet care is my primary focus as of now. Willing and able to work whenever possible! I recently graduated from Colorado State and will be attending Northwestern for my masters in the fall. Until then, I will be dog walking/sitting. I look forward to working with you all! I first assure the dog feels safe and comfortable. Time is needed in order to let them become so. Secondly, I make sure simple needs are met: water, food, bathroom. It is all about being aware and open to a dog’s subtle gestures. The right environment is crucial to set the tone and mood of the dog! In my care, I hope to make every dog feel safe and loved!

“There was one missed visit out of 5. Taylor was apologetic & took care of the dogs as scheduled for the rest of the visits.”

About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats over the years. Enjoy walking and being outside with them!(Dogs) I personally have been a cat mom and dog mom over the years. ;) I am available for overnights, evenings and weekends; with the most flexibility on the weekends. I work outside of the home during the day, so I’m not available for work from home daytime care. I’m able to provide care around my normal work hours 8am-5pm I prefer to keep Dogs in your home or on walks. I have a cat at home and he likes to be the 'only' child, all the time.

“Best sitter ever! My dogs literally leave my side when she comes over.”

About: Enthusiastic and engergetic dog sitter. I love dogs. I love taking them to dog parks and on long walks in the forest preserve by my house. I've had dogs my whole life and always have taken great care of them to make sure they have a happy and fulfilled life. My most recent dog is a Collie named Buehrle with lots of energy. He loves to go for runs in fields and play with other dogs at the dog beach.

“Brianna took care of my cats while my fiancée and I were out of town. It’s a bit difficult to find sitters that can administer oral medicine to cats, and Brianna was able to meet the task, give love to my 2 cats and make sure their area was well kept. She responds quickly to texts as well. If you need a cat sitter, I would recommend her to any client!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. They have always been an important and integrated part of my family. We enjoy spending time at home but also taking long walks in the neighborhood or forest preserve. I integrate dog walks in my daily exercise routine, but also spend quality time at home to ensure they have company and love in the home environment. I have a fenced in yard and would let them have free rein of my house if the owner chooses. If I’m sitting in your home, I’d respect the routine and rules you have already established with your dog. I will keep in close contact with you while you are away and provide pictures and updates on how your family member is doing. There will be endless cuddles and love.

About: I’ve been a dog walker/dog sitter for almost 10 years. I love all animals especially dogs and would love to help with any services you may need. I had a dog of my own for most of my childhood that sadly passed away of old age a few years ago so now I love to care for other’s furry families ☺️ I always had a love for animals and I’m currently enrolled online to become a veterinary tech and feel like I learn more and more everyday by being around other’s pets. I work from home and have my 8 year old son with me who loves animals as well. We’re really looking forward to hearing from you and working with you soon! Thank you 😊

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always felt very natural to me. My last dog was with me for 14 years, and I got to experience every stage of her life with her. I went from playing with her as a little kid to taking her on walks and eventually helping care for her as she got older. Having her alongside me for so many years made her feel like a constant part of my life, and I really grew up with her in a way that I’ll always be grateful for. My current dog has been with me for four years and was rescued from a breeding farm. When we first brought her home, she was extremely nervous and wouldn’t even leave our mudroom. It took a lot of patience and consistency for her to become comfortable, but now she sleeps in my bed and follows me everywhere. That experience taught me that every dog has a different personality and comfort level, and sometimes they just need someone willing to give them the time to adjust. Maple (Her name) has taught me so much about her, myself, and how to care for different dogs. Given that she lives at home with my mother while I’m at school, I miss her like I’d miss a sibling or parent and we both always get unbelievably excited to see eachother when I am home for breaks. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and building a relationship with them. Whether they’re energetic, shy, older, or just love attention, I like figuring out what makes each dog comfortable and happy. I think caring for pets gives me just as much joy as I give them, which is why I take it seriously and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I am a current junior at the College of Lake Forest, studying psychology and I’m as well a member of the Men’s Lacrosse team. Given that, my schedule can get fairly busy during the afternoon and early evening most days however I am very good at managing my class schedule and athletics schedule to best make time for what I need, which will be the pet. No matter what home I’m in I will provide the animal with better than proper care. Growing up with pets I’ve gained a true care for every single one of them and I can guarantee that I will provide the best environment, safety, care, and love to any pet whether it’s in my own apartment or the clients home.

About: I had birds and hamsters growing up my entire life. Take care of sisters dog part time as well as watching friends animals when they go on vacation. I'm full-time and without animals but love getting my pet fix so please let me know your requirements and I will most likely be able to fit it into my schedule. I try to keep the animals some company so they aren't alone (especially if they are used to having atleast one human at home). I can give medication etc. I can not board/house animals in my home but happy to petsit at your home! Please feel free to call and set up an in person interview to make sure I am up to par to take care of your fur babies.
