Pet Sitting Park Ridge

About: I have had dogs since my childhood and have worked with breeds of different sizes and backgrounds, including some with special needs. In my home life, I have two cats that I adore and spend much of my free time with. I’m available all day on weekends, as well as from 5:30pm onward on weekdays (typically). If you have specific requirements for your animal let me know and we can create a schedule that works best for you! I can perform any specific needs that your pet may need. One of my own pets has special medical requirements, so I am familiar with taking care of animals that need extra care.

“Natalie did an amazing job! My little Pablo looked so happy in all the pictures. Glad they had such a great time together. Will be happy to have Natalie help out again sometime!”

“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.”

About: Our kids LOVE dogs, they pretty much live for them. We can't have our own right now, so we want to love on yours while you're away! We've owned our own dogs, and both of the adults grew up taking care of and loving dogs. We're happy to help reinforce any training that you're doing with your pup! We work during the week, but we can spend the weekend giving full-time care to your dog! We are open to watching your pup during the week, but they would be home alone from about 9am-4:30 pm. Just send me a message if you need longer care than the weekend and we can discuss details! We have a fenced backyard with plenty of room for dogs to run and play fetch. We can offer plenty of outside time and bathroom breaks, we're happy to keep your pet on their typical schedule!

“Taylor was great. Met with us before hand to learn our apartment, our kitties hiding spots, where food/snacks/water are. Also very cool to meet with her prior to sharing our keys etc. Taylor gave great photos and report cards for us to check on while away. She was also very responsive, Taylor was fantastic.”

“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.”

Mary A.

“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.

“Return customer here!! Jess was so great with my cat. My cat isn’t a fan of new people (she still hides from people she’s known for months) YET Jess was able to get her to warm up enough for some pets. I really appreciated her pictures and descriptions for each visit. My cat was well taken care of and I plan to use Jess as my petsitter the next time I’m away.”

Kaitlyn K.

“Meeka did an amazing job providing daily updates and photos. I would highly recommend and plan to use Meeka again to take care of my kitties!”

About: We are a family of four that wants to get a dog some day when our children are a bit older. We have two daughters aged 9 and 5. We love to do dog sitting so we can still enjoy a dog in our home. I am a high school teacher and my wife stays home 3 out of 5 days/week with our two young daughters. My wife grew up with Labradors and I grew up with Maltese and Terriers. We cannot wait to have our own dog again. Will your dog be the one to convince us of what type of dog we want for our family? We look forward to meeting you and treating your dog like they are part of our family! Because we do not currently have a dog and only take one dog at a time, your dog will be very well cared for and receive tons of attention and affection! **once in awhile, we may have two bookings that overlap slightly depending on pick-up/drop-off times, but if that happens we will communicate that with you! My wife is home Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays with our daughters. On Mondays and Tuesdays, we are gone from 8:30-4:00. If that is too long of a period for your dog to go without a potty break please let us know! I am a teacher at Memorial highschool (just 5 mins from our home) and can easily come home during my lunch break for a quick dog walk! We have a fenced in yard for your dog to explore. Otherwise, we will let your dog roam anywhere in the house! If needed, we have baby gates and are able to section off parts of our home.

About: I’ve been caring for my own cats since I was in 3rd grade, learning the importance of caring for them in many aspects through feeding them, cleaning their litter boxes, and respecting their needs of play time vs needing space. I started caring for my friends animals in college and that’s when I learned more about dogs and how to tell what dogs are friendly, when they need space, etc. Respecting animals and giving them the love and care they deserve is of utmost importance to me. I have a fairly flexible job, so I’m able to fit in visits almost any time of day. The only day I’m not flexible is Sunday, I work a mandatory 12 hour, so could stop in after my shift but not before or during. Respecting people’s space and privacy is important to me, if I’m walking your dog and caring for your cats, you can trust me to do the job at hand and leave your space in one piece. Keeping a clean home is important to me, so you can rest assured that if your pet makes a little mess, it will be cleaned up for you and you’ll never know it happened.
