House Sitting in Palisades

“I give Sarah my highest recommendation! We have a young puppy full of energy with separation anxiety, and our pup was at ease and happy to be with Sarah! She is very warm and knowledgeable on dogs and will care for your pup as her own! Thank you so much for your help Sarah! ❤”

“Caitlin was a great dogsitter for my three dogs. She was patient with my old lady and provided enough enough fun for the other two. She followed my instructions with no issues. I felt very confident leaving them with her. I'll be sure to use her again!”

Natalie D.

“As a first-time River user, we were a bit nervous but Peggy was terrific! She was knowledgeable, patient and understanding with our little nervous guy and they ended up being friends by the end of the weekend. Will definitely use Rover again!”

“Awesome! We were so lucky to have Heidi watch our dogs while we were on vacation! She was so sweet and caring with them, handled all of their medication and care needs, sent frequent updates, and left our home in perfect condition. She even took out our trash cans on garbage day without being asked. Typically when we have gone on vacation, we have been worried about our dogs the entire time, but not with Heidi. She put us at ease every day and was so great with then. When we came back, both our dogs were happy and calm - a great change from when we would pick them up from boarding or come home to our prior dog sitter in the past. If you need a dog sitter you can trust while away, I cannot recommend Heidi enough. She truly is the best!”

“Stephanie is simply amazing. Our pups love her and she is so easy to work with, she’s great. Once we start planning a trip one of our first moves is to make sure Stephanie can house sit and pup sit our two pooches and once we know she’s able to, our trip planning always gets so much easier. Stephanie is a really hard worker and is often busy working, but when she’s staying with our pups she ALWAYS make sure she has quality time for our doggos and when we are out of town and she’s with our pups she gives us regular updates on how they’re doing, which are always very appreciated.”

“Michelle was awesome! Reliable, took great care of my dog and cats, sent photo updates, and left the house in clean condition.”

About: We’re happy to provide a temporary, loving, and dependable home for your pet while you’re away, giving plenty of care, attention, and affection to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home 🐾 También hablamos español. 😌 There is always someone home during the week and on weekends, allowing pets to receive consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day in a calm, supervised environment. Your pet will be able to make themselves at home inside, either in their crate if that is your preference or their own bed, there is plenty of room! When they’re ready to be outside, they’re able to roam in our big fenced in yard. We live in a great neighborhood, so walking is part of our routine too! There are no other pets in our house.

“Katherine is the best! She takes such good care of our dogs. She even fed my daughter's fish, got the mail and took the trash out for us. She sends many photos and updates which is so appreciated. I highly recommend Katherine as a pet sitter and am so thankful we found her! Thank you!”

About: I started taking care and training dogs when I was 13. My parents rescued my dog Luna when I was 14 and I took care of her every day and trained her, she even understands Spanish! She is the sweetest dog ever but I currently don’t live with her anymore. I also enjoy taking care of kids and I am very patient and confident in my ability to handle anything. I love to teach and I am very passionate about what I do. Once I start something I work hard to become better everyday. I am currently on summer break so I have plenty of free time. I am fully committed to working Monday-Saturday mostly from 8am-9pm. My current schedule is simple. I go to the gym from 9-11:30am and pretty much free the rest of the day. I have a part time job and I work every other week Sat-Sun from 4-10. I have a really flexible schedule so feel free to ask any questions! I would usually take my dog out for her first walk at 8 in the morning. I would take her out for at least 15min and repeat this every 3/4 hours. After her first walk I fed her breakfast, sometimes I’d crack an egg on top or drizzle honey which is great for dogs, and I fed her twice a day. If it was muddy outside I would clean her paws and fur after. I would play with her and teach her new tricks every now and then. If her breath was bad I would brush her teeth at night. I loved cuddling and sleeping with her and I would do everything to make sure she was happy.

“Nicole did an amazing job! She tried her best to maintain the same schedule our dog is used to. She took her out for walks and kept her mind mentally challenged. I will definitely use her services again.”

Alexander M.

“Patrick was great to work with! He took great care of our dog and cats while we were out of town. We set up some walks with my dog so she could get comfortable with him. He responded quickly to check-ins and any questions we had!! We’ll be using him again for sure!”

About: Dogs are my favorite animal! Why? Because they are loyal, caring, fun and you already know this because you own one! :) I have a shepherd mix who I love dearly. I used to volunteer at West suburban humane society, and have dealt with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I feel comfortable around dogs and have lots of experience. I treat them like a member of the family. I love all animals, so if you have cats rabbits etc I will not be bothered. I have been around dogs since childhood and working with dogs is a dream of mine. If your dog needs medicine I have experience with that as well. I am extra gentle with senior dogs and can keep up with puppies I have a flexible schedule so I can work with your schedule. We can discuss your pets needs so I can accommodate your schedule easily. I follow owner instructions precisely and ask questions if anything seems unclear. Pet safety is always my number one priority. If I think a pet may not be safe for anyone I always reach out to the owner.

“Alison was thoughtful and patient with our Lucy, who has separation anxiety. Alison tried several calming methods including soothing music, and we were impressed. Thank you Alison!”

“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Jana kept me updated with messages and photos, so I never had to worry or wonder how things were going. It was such a relief knowing my dog was not just being “watched,” but truly cared for, played with, and treated like family. My puppy was happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. It’s obvious Jana pays attention to details, follow instructions, and genuinely care about each pet’s personality and needs. I trust her completely and will 100% be booking again. If you’re looking for someone reliable, loving, and responsible to care for your dog, this is the person you want. Absolute gem!”

Natasa G.

“We are so thankful for Sam! She goes above and beyond amazing as a sitter to our 2 boys even adjusting to the rare circumstances we were in the middle of during one of our bookings—giving meds and helping take care of one of my pups’ tumor removal on his paw pad that required Sam to calm and medicate sweet Palmer. She managed to keep my other dog and 2 parents’ dogs for a rare occasion and still had to deal with an upset stomach from one dog! It won’t happen again! I appreciate her feedback across the board— We are and will consistently work on our own pups’ behaviors to so they they treat our sitter correctly! Sam is the best!!!”

“We were fortunate to have Lauren pet sit our dog and cat while we were away for an extended period of time. Both our cat and dog took to her very quickly, which put us at ease. She was very communicative, always on time and really went the extra mile sending photos and detailed updates. We are happy to have connected with Lauren and would highly recommend her.”

About: I specialize in reliable morning pet care that fits busy work and school schedules. I’m available weekdays from 9 AM to 12 PM, which makes me a great fit for mid-morning dog walks, drop-in visits, and consistent weekly routines. I’m especially good at caring for dogs who need calm, patient handling and a steady routine. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, comfort, and safety, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I’m also comfortable with senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or medication reminders (as directed by the owner). I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and not rushed during visits. What sets me apart is that I focus on consistency and trust—many pets do best with the same walker on a regular schedule, and I aim to build that long-term relationship with both pets and owners. Pet care fits into my routine during weekday mornings from 9 AM to 12 PM, which is my dedicated availability window. During this time, I focus on dog walking and drop-in visits, making it easy for pet owners who need help while they are at work or busy with the day. I plan my schedule around consistency, so I can provide regular weekly visits for the same pets whenever possible. This helps animals feel more comfortable and keeps their routine stable. I’m organized and reliable, so I make sure I always arrive on time and give each pet full attention without rushing between visits. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. My focus is always on safety, trust, and following each owner’s instructions exactly. I make sure doors, leashes, and gates are secure at all times and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. During visits, I supervise pets closely, especially during walks, feeding, or outdoor time. I respect each home and keep everything clean and organized, including cleaning up after pets during walks or drop-in visits. I also pay attention to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate immediately with the owner if something seems off. I understand that trust is very important when entering someone’s home, so I am responsible, respectful, and careful with both the pet and the property.

“Miguel was fantastic! I got tons of updates, I could see that my dog was getting the very best care. Would definitely recommend Miguel for a dog sitting and walking.”

“I always feel good knowing Heather is watching my three pups when we are out of town. She’s dependable and communicative! Always glad to have her help!”
