House Sitting in Northbrook

“Andrew did a great job with our two animals while we were on vacation for about a week. He’s taken great care while house sitting, got our mail, and cleaned our cats litter box. We can always count on and trust Andrew with our pets!”

“Gabi house sat for me for 6 days/ 5 nights and took care of my dog and cat. During the entirety of her stay she was very communicative, very attentive to the animals, and comforting to me (since I get nervous when leaving the girls!). Prior to leaving I cleaned my home to be ready for her to stay and when I got home the house was just as clean, if not cleaner. I really highly recommend Gabi as your new sitter! TLDR; Gabi is great, hire her.”

“We couldn't be happier with Alexa's care for our rescue dog, Jazzy. From the very beginning, Alexa demonstrated her professionalism and genuine love for animals by taking the time to meet Jazzy before the actual sit. This pre-meet was great in helping Jazzy and us get more comfortable. During the meet and greet, Jazzy, in her true rescue dog fashion, discovered her "bark," but it didn't faze Alexa one bit! She handled it with complete calm and understanding, which truly put our minds at ease. Alexa was prompt, communicative, and professional throughout the entire sit process. We wouldn't hesitate for a second to hire Alexa again to watch Jazzy. We're even hopeful that, when Jazzy is ready, Alexa will be the one to take her on walks! Thank you, Alexa, for providing such wonderful and stress-free care.”

“Ana took amazing care of our dogs while we were away on vacation. She was attentive to their needs, sent us updates with pictures each day, and took good care of our home as well. We will contact her for sitting needs again in the future for sure!”

“Grace was attentive, friendly, professional, and thorough in her review and care for our animals (two cats and an oddball dog). She was quick to reply and clearly took the task of watching over our "kids" with a lot of care. I would highly recommend Grace for anyone's pet care needs.”

About: I owned a small dog and a fairly large one (a Rough Collie). I love animals. I want to do dog walking and sitting as my main job. I'm 5'10 and 210 lbs. I'm great with small and medium dogs. I'll take out a large dog who is leash-trained. On rare occasions, I take out extra-large dogs. Pet care will be my main priority. My other work is very flexible. I usually work from home or a cafe. For dog walking, I typically play with dogs. I'm patient, so we can take our time - even if that means sniffing every tree. I usually do dog sitting in the client's home and or yard. Occasionally, I board a small or medium-sized dog in my home. I have a small backyard/patio, which is shown in one of my photos.

“Highly recommend Michael! He did a great job!”

“As the owner of 3 dogs, Andrew is very knowledgeable about dogs. He immediately connected with our dog right when he walked in the door. Andrew took her outside and to the basement to get exercise and have some play time. He did a great job! I’d recommend him to any dog-owner for pet sitting.”

“Ryan is the best! He’s punctual, communicative, and reliable, plus our dog absolutely loved him. He stayed at our house for a long weekend and we came back to it being in the same condition we left it in, no issues at all. He sent us pictures and let us know how Birdie was doing, he even left us a cute picture of her on our fridge. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs and have over 30 years of experience caring for them, so being with animals has always felt natural to me. I’ve looked after everything from playful puppies to gentle senior dogs who need extra patience and support. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, and I especially love going on long walks together—it’s one of the best ways to bond and keep them happy. What makes me different is how much I care—I follow their routines closely and make sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at home while you’re away. After years in a fast-paced office role, I’m taking a break to reset and refocus after some of life’s unexpected turns. During this time, I’ve chosen to do what brings me the most peace and joy—spending time with animals. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine now, and I’m grateful to have the flexibility to give each dog my full attention, whether it’s for daily walks, playtime, or quiet companionship. This isn’t just a side gig—it’s something that truly fills my days with meaning and calm. When caring for pets in their own homes, I do everything I can to keep their routine familiar and stress-free. I pay close attention to their needs, respect their space, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions closely because I understand the importance of those details. I treat your home with the same respect and care I give your pet, and I always aim to build trust with both of you from day one.

About: I’m patient and skilled with all breeds of dogs. I have many years of experience in an animal hospital setting and with dog training and ownership. I am a registered nurse and former animal hospital employee. Willing to help in any way possible on my time off! Love animals and will always take great care of your pets! I treat my pets and all animals with kindness and highly attentive to their needs and their safety. Will treat them as my own family.

“Lauren is a fantastic dog sitter! She is so consciencious, responsible and knowledgeable about dogs. She bonded with my little 11 week old Maltese Teddy immediately. I have absolute trust in her for caring for my baby. It is obvious that she truly loves and cares about dogs. She texted me updates and sent pics while I was gone. I know that he had lots of attention and affection in my absence. Teddy is so lucky that we found Lauren on Rover!”
