House Sitting O'hare

“Katelyn was great with our fur babies! She sent plenty of photo updates throughout the booking. She updated us about anything going on with the kids and asked questions along the way. We really appreciated her communication! The dogs loved her during meet and greet. I’m sure they wanted her to stay with all the doggy cuddle puddles! Would definitely book her again! It was so reassuring to have someone reliable, communicable, and compassionate. Made our vacation a breeze. We missed our doggos, but didn’t have to worry or stress with Katelyn!”

About: Hi! My name is heather and I am a total dog and cat lover! No matter the breed, age or quirky personalities I love them all. I used to volunteer at a shelter in Iowa where I spent most of my time keeping the immuno-compromised cats and dogs company as they had to be isolated from the others in the shelter. Since then, I’ve trained my own dogs to be potty trained outside and be comfortable riding in cars. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 10 years. The longest I’ve cat sat was for 10 days and left a personal “journal” for the owners from the cats point of view. The longest I’ve dog sat was 7 days. I love walking dogs, The longer the walk the better so when mom and dad come home they are ready for all the cuddles. I'm bubbly and have been told I'm "high energy" so I love to play with animals but also know when it's time to just relax and be couch potatoes while watching Animal Planet. I've taken care of special needs dogs who are leash aggressive, I've worked with senior dogs who move a little more leisurely and I've worked with puppies - helping them get acclimated to walking with a leash and harness. I’m working full time as a physical therapist but am available to care for your loved furry friend Wednesdays and Fridays after 2:30. I am available Sundays after 1pm. I have a fenced back yard and my little guy loves to run around and chase leaves. Loves to sniff every twig. For my past clients I take their dogs for long walks in their neighborhood, sometimes run with them on lease if they have a ton of energy. I have the animal earn my trust first, put my hands out to sniff, allow them to approach me as I am a guest in their home. I love to lay on the floor with them, let them know I am a trusted friend.

“Diane was such a blessing. She has a really sweet and caring demeanor and we knew right away she was the right sitter to watch our fur babies. In our week long trip she took great care of our home and 2 dogs and kept in touch throughout our trip. We feel relieved to have found her and will definitely rebook with her. Thank you Diane!!”

About: I’ve had 40 years experience caring for my own dogs (3), a cat and parakeets. My current pets consist of an adopted 2 year old Labrador/Retriever mix and a red-eared turtle, that my son graciously brought home from a junior year field trip, 10 years ago. I have cared for pets not of my own, along with house sitting that included dogs, finches, parakeets and an African Grey parrot. Familiar with dog reactivity and leash pulling. Oral medication can also be administered. Currently working full-time as a teacher. I’m available before 8:30am and after 5:00pm for individual walks and/or house sitting. Weekends open for house sitting or individual walks. Following a routine is apart of my teacher life, so following your fur baby’s won’t be a problem. Daily reports with photos/videos can easily be arranged.

“Yesica was amazing! It was our first time using rover and she made sure that we were comfortable with everything! She sent lots of pictures, videos and text updates!! She would even give special attention to my dog while she ate because she usually doesn’t eat as much when we are out of town! I would definitely book again!”

“Sean was an absolute treasure to our girl, Luna. He was very responsive from the get-go and made sure that all of our accommodations were met. I’m not sure that we will ever book with anybody else as Luna adored Sean when we returned. I would give Sean 100/10 stars if I could. I highly recommend entrusting him.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life. I couldn't have one at home so I would always go to family and friends to help pet sir or walk whenever they needed it. Once I got a place of my own I started fostering dogs and cats for people who found animals on the street. I specialize with aggressive animals and have done lots of training for puppies and seniors as well. I've never met an animal that didn't take well to me hence why I am the animal whisperer. This is currently my full time job while I'm studying to be a mechanic. I'm in the process of getting my certifications on my own so my schedule is very flexible. I always make sure to check the boundaries set by you always. Safety is everything in this line of work. I've had little ones of my own and they meant the world to me. I'll treat them and protect them as if they were my own kids.

“Renee was great with our dog Winnie! She sent lots of photos, updates and was flexible on the timing of our sit. Winnie has some anxiety that Renee managed with patience and understanding. We will definitely have Renee sit for us again!”

About: Fitness professional who loves living an active healthy lifestyle for myself as well as my pets. Owner of 3 dogs (2 chihuahuas, and a golden retriever). I also have two cats and everyone gets along perfectly! Taking care of animals is more of a way for me to give back to the world. I look at working along side mans best friend is more of a privilege rather than a job. I grew up in a house with a variety of different animals and different breeds, so I have a strong background in taking care of animals. I also have taken courses with my golden retriever when he was a puppy at puppy school. I live in a house in park ridge, with a gated back yard and 3 separate floors.

“Destiny is the best sitter we’ve had; a literal gem. She took Calzone to the park and whole bunch and prioritized energy outlets for her. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures which put me at ease. Destiny is definitely our #1 sitter and we are lucky to have found her. She also left my space way nicer than she found it which is an additional gift after traveling a bunch.”

“William took care of our two dogs for a full week while we were away. They had a great time! The house was in perfect condition when we got back also. The dogs definitely had a better time with William than they did when we sent them to the boarders before!”

“Micah was so great with our dogs! Would definitely book again.”

“Sadie was great - responsive, came on time, answered messages and left our house in good shape. Max seemed calm and well-fed and taken care of upon our return!”

About: My name is Daniella. I am 24 years old and working with animals is what my life is about. All my life I have had my own pets and I have also worked at an animal hospital for the past 8 years! I am a college graduate with a degree in Biology and I’m here to make sure your fur babies are happy and safe! I have lots of experience with animals and I love any kind. You have a cat? No problem! 5 dogs? (It’s okay I do too!) consider me to watch your lovely animals! I promise that I won’t let you down! I am currently a full time vet tech! I am free pretty much every Sunday and Wednesday and Saturday afternoons after 3pm. I am off some Mondays as well. I would love to be able to work with your schedule as well! Bringing pets into my home won’t always be an option for me but I am more than happy to stay at your home to watch your fur babies! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats myself so bringing in other pets does not always work well for my little guysz

“Very flexible. We made some last minute changes to the dates we were going to be gone and she had no problem adjusting to the new schedule. She was very friendly and sent us pictures and updates of our pets. Also Houston responded to all our texts.”

“Jillian was fantastic! She helped me when I was in a serious bind. She’s responsive and respectful of my home. Mostly importantly she is kind, patient, and attentive to my dog who has a big personality. I would highly recommend her.”

Taylor K.

“Camille is the best! She’s dog sat for our senior dog Rex a few times and it’s always good to know he’s well taken care of. She made him homemade treats, sends daily updates and photos and goes out of her way to be accommodating about drop off/pick up times. Would definitely recommend Camille if you’re looking for a caring , easygoing person to care for your dog!”

“Jaden did a terrific job watching Pinto over the weekend, she was super quick in answering and gave many updates with pictures everyday, I would definitely book with her again”
