Pet Sitting Park Ridge

“Natalie looked after my 9 month old kitten while I was overseas for 2 weeks, so I was naturally worried since I was away for so long. However she provided great updates and pics and was responsive. Was able to get along well with my cat even though he is naturally shy. Even bought litter since I forgot to restock until it was too late!”

“Really appreciated Erin’s prompt and clear communication. We were able to set up a meet and greet before the drop in as well so that was very helpful. Thank you for checking in on my sweet girl! We hope to see you regularly.”

“Krista was wonderful. She sent reassuring updates on my dog’s demeanor and activities (I’m retired and my dog and I are rarely separated) and the photos she sent showed a contented, happy pup. When I arrived home, my dog was very happy, but not frantic, to see me. I will definitely hire Krista again.”

“Ann did a wonderful job with our two cats while we were gone for 10 day! She was excellent at communicating, and sent great pictures each time she visited. Our cats were happy and content when we got home- a sure sign that Ann did very well with them!!”

“Ashley was incredible! I was very worried about leaving my cat for such an extended period over the holiday, but Ashley kept great care of him, going above and beyond any instructions I gave and also giving me details on his behavior throughout my vacation, alleviating a ton of stress for me.”

About: Eric and Rachel share a love for their beloved Aussie-beagle Lilo and fostering rescue dogs together. We know that it is never easy to leave your beloved dog with someone new, and in a new place. As our own Lilo has struggled with separation anxiety before, we know how important it is to have a pet sitter who is present, patient, and able to cater their care towards a dog’s specific needs. Rachel has taken care of 6 different family dogs growing up, including a border collie, golden retriever, Boston terrier, 2 mixed breeds and a silky terrier. Eric has taken care of his family dog (chihuahua mix) since birth till now (11 years old). Together, we have fostered 16 rescue dogs these past two years, ranging from a high energy Great Pyrenees to 3 Border Collie puppies all at once, to a completely afraid and anxious Beagle mama and Shiba Inu mama that are recovering from very difficult situations. We have also looked after American pit bulls, a large Newfoundland, and senior doggies who have hip difficulties and special diets. Our own dog is a 3.5 year old Aussie-beagle, so we particularly love the herding dogs. :) We both have lots of experience working with dogs of all kinds of temperaments and needs, especially high energy dogs who require a lot of attention and care, and administering medication to dogs who have special needs. Rachel also loves cooking her home cooked meals for her dog, and can do that for yours too, if you need! We both work from home and have all weekends free. Our flexible schedules together allows us to bring dogs regularly on walks and to look after them consistently. We follow instructions really well, and can take care of your dog according to your requirements. We allow dogs to roam and sleep freely in our home, but we can also crate your dog easily if you prefer. We know how to work with your dog with lots of gentle care and love.

“Fantastic coverage for my 2-week absence. Mandi even got my formerly-feral cat comfortable enough to come out and sit in the hallway during her visits, which is an accomplishment for a stranger! She takes detailed notes and asks all the questions during the meet & greet, and had a great idea for key return under the door.”

“Jennifer was such an amazing sitter for my furry babies. She took her time to ask questions and understand well how to care for them. The updates and pictures always were on point and left me feeling that my babies were in very caring and capable hands. Next time I will look for someone to look after my babies I will go for Jennifer.”

“Kira was wonderful with Winnie! I was worried to leave him at home because he’s a puppy but Kira did 3 drop ins in one day and made sure to play with our pup for the whole 30 minutes. She also followed our instructions to the dot. She is a very kind and loving sitter and I would definitely recommend her!”

“Austin is a dream walker! I got about 20 adorable pictures a day, all wallpaper and insta worthy ? He looked after my boisterous boy with enthusiasm, care and diligence. I cannot wait to plan my next vacation only so that newton and Austin can have more time together! ❤️ thank you so much, Austin!”

“Brenda was great! Despite the short notice she was able to look over Marshall and provide plenty of pics and updates. I would highly recommend Brenda for anyone looking for pet care in the area.”

“Maya is awesome with our two senior cats who need extra TLC. I will continue to request Maya’s help anytime I need a pet-sitter. I wish I could give her more than five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“What was supposed to be a regular drop in visit turned into an emergency, our dog ended up getting into bag of Cosequin. Jess couldn’t have handled it any better. She called poison control for us, stayed on the phone with them for hrs, kept us updated the entire time. Then she even offered to stay the night with our dog to make sure he is ok. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to be there in the time of need. Definitely will be re-booking with her. Thank you Jess”

Jakub K.

“I always use Taylor as a sitter when I’m leaving town because I know she is reliable ! She always gives my cat the attention he needs while I’m gone !!”

Sabrina S.

“Couldn't have been more pleased with my experience. Louisa was friendly, prompt and communicative. My pups were well taken care of and I was stress-free. I'd absolutely use Louisa again for future trips.”

“Janay was great with my two cats! They both warmed up to her very quickly and she sent me a ton of pictures each day. She did everything asked and even managed to make sure my cat with asthma got his inhaler everyday without issue. I came home to two happy and well cared for kitties”

Sarah S.

“Whitney comes highly recommended. She took excellent care of my pet and even did a few "extra" requests while she performed the drop in visits. Really appreciated that.”
