House Sitting in Northbrook

“Karina stayed at our house for two weeks, watching our dogs and cats while we were away on vacation. During our entire time away she was very communicative and shared plenty of photos! She made sure we knew our animals were well taken care of the entire time sharing details of walks and feedings. When we came back all the animals were happy and the house was spotless and in an even better condition than when we had left it. If you are looking for somebody to take care of your animals, Karina is an excellent choice.”

“Our pup LOVES Gabi. When we returned from a 10 day trip she acted like we just took a short trip to the store. She used to have hair loss and digestive issues after a long trip. This time none of that!”

“Scott was terrific and we felt so comfortable being away for so long with Alma in his care. He is reliable, calm and loving in his care. Highly recommend Scott!”

“Donna was amazing. The dogs seemed very relaxed and happy when we came home. She was also very caring and even offered to come back if our flight was delayed. I hope this is the first of many stays. Thanks Donna!”

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was young, starting with my neighbor's Old English Sheepdog. Today, I'm the go-to sitter my sister relies on to care for her little fluffball, whether it's for an evening away or extended vacations. I'm comfortable providing consistent, attentive care for every pet -- and following your every instruction to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy while you're away. I currently work a flexible, non-traditional schedule that includes fantasy illustration projects and teaching art classes. This gives me built-in gaps during the day that I'd love to fill with dog care, whether that means walks, playtime, or multi-day companionship. Your dog's routine and well-being are my top priorities. I make sure that your dog gets the best care possible and will follow all instructions to the letter: setting phone alarms to ensure potty breaks and meals happen right on time, monitoring treats so your dog is neither over- nor under-indulged, and sticking closely to established sleep schedules. I'm equally respectful of your home, taking care to leave it as clean and orderly (or better) than when I arrived.

“Marissa took wonderful care of our greyhound, Cash, while staying in our home. She was thoughtful, neat, and left everything very clean when we returned. Throughout her stay, she sent great photos of Cash, which gave us real peace of mind while we were traveling. Most importantly, Cash was very happy and well cared for. We were extremely pleased with Marissa and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and respectful pet sitter.”

“Yuliia did a wonderful job caring for our sweet dog Aspen and keeping our house clean and organized. Her level of communication was above & beyond and we absolutely loved every video & photo she sent to us. She was very professional, punctual, and we could clearly see how much she cared for our dog. She was by far the best sitter we have had and we highly recommend her!”

Jeni R.

“This was our second time having Lisa sit for our cat and everything went perfectly again. The communication is always great and our cat gets along great with Lisa. We will book again!”

“Keeley was an amazing sitter. Sent so many pictures and updates and truly just loved on our pet with cuddles, car rides and great walks and playtime. Left the house clean and tidy and was just a pleasure to work with. Will be rebooking her soon!”

Brandy J.

“Jennifer is great! My cats loved her! She always kept me posted of what was going on and sent me a lot of pictures. I was able to enjoy my vacations and relax because my cats were in good hands. Thank you !”

Laura H.

“Jennifer took such great care of Ref while we traveled for spring break. She took him on multiple walks a day, spent quality time playing with him, and even went above and beyond by helping with laundry. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was not only well cared for, but truly loved while we were away. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless home, couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend Jennifer!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better pet and house sitter. When I first met Mer, she was clearly experienced and comfortable with Walter (he can come on a little strong since he loves visitors) but she wasn’t intimidated at all. Mer took the time to understand Walters routines and quirks (he has many) which immediately made me feel comfortable about trusting her with my big 90 pound baby. While I was away, we kept in touch so I knew Walter was well cared for. The photos looked like they were having a great time! Mer treated my home and my dog with kindness and respect, as if they were her own. I would definitely recommend Mer and will be booking her again next trip.”

Robin S.

“Jason did a great job and kept us informed with pictures and updates. He also flexed to come earlier for us on short notice. Highly recommend him!”

“We booked Michael at the last minute for 5 days. He came over for a meet and greet and Billie seemed to like him right away. Michael sent daily updates with pictures. Billie seemed to be great! Michael also agreed to feed our frog (he eats live crickets). We were very happy with our first Rover experience!”

About: I am currently a college student who loves animals. I have a dog and three cats at home, and I have volunteered at animal shelters in the past, so I’m very experienced with pets. While I am newer to house sitting, I am definitely not new to loving and caring for our furry friends! I work part time so I am available multiple times every day. I can stop by homes in the morning before work, and then after work in the afternoon and evening. I walk my dog and he loves our fenced in yard. I also am accustomed to feeding and cleaning litter boxes. And of course, care, love and attention are important every day!

“Valentyna was terrific with my anxious dog, comforting him during a thunderstorm. She was thorough in caring for our dog and asked questions when she needed clarification. We will definitely use Valentyna in the future.”

“Ryan was an amazing asset while we were away. He is communicative, kind, and truly goes the extra mile—leaving a wonderful impression on both us and our pets (even our cranky rooster!). He asked thoughtful questions and took great care in looking out for our entire household. He’s hands down the best pet sitter we’ve had, and we will absolutely be using him again! Our home was better than how we left it.”

“Very sweet and reliable! Our dog is very high energy and I feel like she really “got” him lol. We came back to a happy puppy and a nice clean house.”
