Pet Sitting in Palatine

“Sophia did a great job watching our dog over the holiday weekend. Very professional and sent us pictures every day! She was available last minute which helped us a ton. I would recommend Sophia to anyone needing a pet sitter”

“Our cats love Giada and we love working with her. She’s very responsive which is very important to me especially we are out of the country. Looking forward to more checkins”

“We had to leave town shortly after bringing home our 8 week old puppy, and thankfully, we found Carl! From day one, he has been incredibly attentive, caring, and reliable. He’s knowledgeable about dogs and puppy care in general, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing our little guy was in great hands. He’s gone above and beyond to make sure our pup is comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found him and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind dog walker/ sitter.”

“Jennifer was wonderful with the cats and to work with. She kept us well informed, cared for the cats, and was a pleasure to work with. We will absolutely use her, again.”

“Cathy started caring for our black lab, Wendy, last week. She responded so quickly to my messages and was able to do a meet and greet within days of my first message to her! Our dog loves Cathy and it’s been going really well when Cathy comes to let her out at lunchtime. I would definitely recommend Cathy to care for your pet! She has a lab of her own and a lot of experience.”

About: I have had the pleasure and joy of being able to take care of lots of different animals for over 10 years. I spent some time on a farm where taking care of sheep, pigs, chicken, ducks, and the barn cats and dogs was a daily thing. Later on, I was the proud mama of a german shepherd named Bruno who stole my heart in every way. Unfortunately he is now gone since November of 2023. Since then, my lifestyle has changed and I am not able to have another dog of my own due to long working hours four days out of the week. However I love taking care of pets, especially dogs, and this is the perfect way to still have a connection with these wonderful creatures, even if they are not my own :) I promise to take care of yours as if it was my own! They will be royally treated with me! My Fridays through Sundays are free from other work and I would love to be able to take care of your pets, especially your dogs! I have a spacious home where your pet can feel free to roam and rest. I also have many trails I can take them on walks. There is also a spacious park area where we can play around if that's what your dog prefers! If I am coming to your home, I am more than happy to walk them short or long distances, play with them, or tend to any other pet needs!

“Elizabeth was great! She was very nice from the get go and we set up a quick meeting to make sure her and Ziggy got along! She was great about sending photos and worked well with a wonky schedule and a senior dog but he seemed very relaxed and happy when we got back from our quick weekend away! She always gave nice detailed summaries of her visits with photos! I highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone who needs someone to watch their scruffer!!”

“Mia was amazing and so helpful. Amazing communication she really went above and beyond with her care and took the extra step anyway she could. Would recommend her to anyone.”

Emma O.

“Laura is an amazing cat sitter! She took such good care of Chili and really paid attention to her habits and personality. She was super thoughtful and gentle, and it was clear she genuinely cared. She sent lots of cute photos and videos that showed how comfortable and happy Chili was with her. Her visit notes were detailed, warm, and full of love. Laura really knew how to interact with Chili and made her feel safe and loved. She’s truly a wonderful and caring sitter.”

“Rebeckah takes great care of my cat while I'm away. She shares numerous pictures and detailed updates. I always know Apollo is in good hands when I book her!”

Bob C.

“Leanne was great with my two keehonds they loved seeing her come every day.”

Janet H.

“Anna was absolutely fantastic! She checked in on our cat Teddy everyday while we were out of town. She sent the best pictures and was really good at communicating. He is a typical sassy kitty and she was very patient and sweet to him. We will definitely be using her services again!”

About: I'm a mother of 2 small children, so I'm excellent at multi-tasking and thinking on my feet. I've taken care of my own dog for 10 years before having children, and understand the joy it brings dogs to go on walks and experience all the smells throughout the neighborhood. I also know that dogs are part of the family (my dog was like my baby), so I take this role very seriously. I work from home every day except Thursday, so I have more availability. Also available most weekends at some point during the days and evenings. I take great care to follow the family's instructions with feeding, walking, and playing. I have watched my brother-in-law's dog in my home and she thrived here while he was out of town.

“Things went so well with Brittany while I was traveling. My cats responded well to her and she went above and beyond to even take care of the outdoor cats that like to visit. Definitely will rebook for future needs.”

Meagan M.

“Sarah was outstanding. We needed to travel and it was the first time Ben and Chloe would be without us for a significant duration. She was punctual, conducted herself with professionalism, and interacted wonderfully with them. We're sincerely thankful and we wholeheartedly endorse her for others in need of her services.”

About: I have helped my best friend (of 17 years) with his current dog and late dog with feeding, walking, playing, staying overnight, staying for an extended time, cleaning up after messes in the house, everything I can think of. I am always eager to help out so that you do not need to stress about a single thing. I want you to be able to leave your house knowing that your pup is left in the best of hands. I can be serious when I need to for any disciplinary measures you might have in place to keep it consistent, and all the fun in the world as well to keep your pup entertained while you are away. I believe in keeping dogs active when they want to be and letting them rest when they want to as well. I have helped out my best friend with some foster dogs lately, including a current foster pittie, and with their own Rover dogs they watch at home. I currently still live with my parents who are allergic to most dogs, so I have to come to your place. I unfortunately cannot have dogs over. I hope I can be of service to you in the future, and I look forward to meeting many pups soon! I just got a job as a supervisor for a grocery store, so I will see if I have a set schedule or not so I can help out the most. I still intend to help out here on Rover :). I have a ton of doctors I see, so my weeks are a little goofy, but I will do my best to update my calendar to reflect my schedule ASAP! I spend a lot of time at my best friends' house right now (my best friend and his wife) watching their dog and feeding him when they are both working. They have also had their current foster over a month now, so I feed him and shower him with love as well. I grow attached to dogs' personalities. I have also trained dogs using training treats to sit, stay, "wait" and "free" for eating food, "wait" and "come" for treats, how to ring a bell on the back door for potty with the cue words "sit" "gentle" (tap the bells hanging on the door gentle with their nose) "thank you", paw, and down (lay down). I am not saying I would be able to do this with every dog, but if you wanted me to try to teach your dog anything, give me the challenge! I love a good challenge! I would like to make something clear that is very important for medical reasons (I even have the paperwork to prove it because of how ridiculous it sounds haha): I am extremely allergic to heat and can overheat/faint super easily (within 5 minutes usually) so walking your pup in 90°+ weather would be VERY difficult. But ALSO, I am DEATHLY allergic to extreme cold. The cold can kill me. But as long as I bundle up, I’m fine. So winter walks shouldn’t be much of an issue :). I will always make sure to clean up after every visit, I want to make that abundantly clear. I LOVE to clean, and I refuse to leave a mess for you to clean up if it happened on my watch. I will always make sure to follow your rules for your pups if you have certain rules to follow. I will never EVER judge anyone for any rules in place. I only want to do what is right by you in order to provide the best possible experience so that when you get back home, your dog will be so happy to see you or asleep in my lap from playing so much. I truly do want to be the best I can be as a dogsitter, so if there is anything you want specifically for your pup, do not hesitate to let me know. I am very laid back and very understanding. I have over 16 years of retail experience under my belt, so I guess I just aim to make sure that the customer/client always knows they're worth it! I never mind helping out!

“Jessica dropped in to see my cat twice a day while I was out of town and did a fantastic job. She was punctual, consistent, and seemed to really do well making my cat feel comfortable and safe. It’s a relief to know that I can count on her for our next trip!”
