House Sitting in Park Ridge

“Eric is first and foremost a very kind person. He is obviously a pet lover, and our dog Daisy enjoys being the beneficiary of his attention. In fact,this morning she was looking for him, and I had to convince her to eat her breakfast! Eric is also great at staying in touch. I never have to wonder how things are going as there are photos and notes to reassure me. I guess I am a helicopter pet mom, so this is great. If I had to go on an extended trip and leave my pup, Eric would be my first and perhaps only choice. If you want to travel with confidence, look no further.”

She was proactive in communicating with us regularly, providing much-appreciated pictures. Alexa has been a caring, reliable, and responsible sitter whom we’d recommend to others and plan to call upon again!”

About: I have always had a love for dogs. Ever since I was 10 years old, my family has fostered and taken care of dogs. Now I continue to care for dogs part-time through dog sitting and walking.

I can provide long or short visits all days of the week! I am very communicative and open to the needs of you and your pet. I will always do my best to care for and keep your dog safe.

About: I’ve been house sitting/pet sitting since I was around 17 years old. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I’ve watched dogs, cats, turtles, lizards, fish and more. I’m familiar with pee pads, crate training and dog diapers. I will always treat your animal with respect and kindness, showing them so much love while you are away. I’m currently not working so I would have plenty of time to be with your furbaby. I do volunteer work during the week but I would still have plenty of time to care and be with your animal. I can walk, play, snuggle, crate train and prepare meals for your animals. You just tell me what the preferred routine is and I’ll do my best to match that so your animal feels safe and loved.

“Alyssa is fantastic. She is incredibly professional and communicative, and took great care of my boys. I had to find a new dog sitter after our former sitter moved away, and I have to admit I was very nervous, but Alyssa made me feel very reassured that my dogs would be taken care of. I honestly wasn’t worried about them during our trip, and they were happy and healthy, and my house was beautiful when we got back. I will definitely be working with Alyssa again in the future.”

“Sierra stayed at my apartment in the BX to watch my 45lb rescue pittie for three weeks in May, and I highly recommend her! She was responsive and so generous coming all the way from NJ to meet my pup and me first and incredibly responsive before the day of. Every day she sent me text and/photo updates, and it was super clear my pup was very well cared for and loved. Coming back, pup was happy and healthy and the apartment was clean as I left it (thanks, Sierra!).”

About: I've always had a passion for animals and have enjoyed caring for them throughout my life. I currently specialize in cat sitting, bringing 6 years of experience to ensure your feline friends receive the best care. While I do offer services for dogs as well, my primary focus right now is on providing dedicated services for cats. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of the time to play with your dogs and cats. I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 2pm. I have a fenced yard and 1 friendly dog and cat to keep your fur baby company and I’m happy to assist with your pets' needs.

“Julianna was a lifesaver. 5 days before my vacation the person who I hired to watch our dogs had to cut the sitting short. I reached out to Julianna and she responded quickly. She met us for a meet and greet that same night since I was trying to find someone to watch our dogs. She is amazing! Very communicative and set us updates and pictures. Our dogs were in great hands! I will be using Julianna for future house sitting! Thanks Julianna!”

About: Hi, I’m Miru. Dogs genuinely make my day :) I have 10+ years of experience in dog walking, house sitting, and drop in visits. Here to give your pup the care and attention they deserve. I’m comfortable with medications and I take walking seriously- full time, every time, because I know how much it matters for your dog’s physical and mental health. Whether your pup needs a gentle stroll or a full on run and fetch session, I’ll match their energy. I currently share my home with a 14-year-old Maltese, so I have a soft spot for seniors and know how to care for dogs at every life stage. My clients describe me as reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy, and I take pride in always showing up as scheduled. I’d love to meet your pup and answer any questions you have. Their happiness is the whole point! I am currently a student and research assistant at Virginia Tech, working remotely for the summer with great flexibility. This allows me to accommodate the needs of your pet effectively. I start my day early and typically finish around 8 PM, giving me ample time to devote to pet care throughout the day. If I am housesitting for you, I have the flexibility to provide frequent walks or bathroom breaks for your dog. They receive the appropriate level of physical activity based on their individual needs, whether it's a leisurely stroll or a longer walk. I prioritize your dog's well-being and understand the importance of regular bathroom breaks. If your dog is unable to walk more than once or twice a day, I will make sure to take them outside to relieve themselves as needed. I will never leave a dog home alone for more than four hours, and if you have a puppy, I will ensure they are not left alone for more than 2.5 hours at a time. If I need to step out for personal reasons, such as going to the gym or working at a café, I will always let you know in advance and make sure your dog's needs are taken care of. I will always provide updates and let you know if I need to step out for any reason. You can trust that I will be transparent about my schedule and ensure that your dog's well-being remains a top priority. My flexibility as a remote worker allows me to provide attentive care for your dog throughout the day. Whether it's adhering to their feeding schedule, administering medications if needed, or providing ample exercise and companionship, I will go above and beyond to ensure your dog's needs are met. If you have any specific scheduling requests or concerns, please feel free to discuss them with me. Your dog's happiness, comfort, and well-being are my utmost priorities, and I am dedicated to providing exceptional care that fits seamlessly into my daily or weekly routine! Safety is of utmost importance to me. I understand that each pet has unique needs and preferences. If necessary, I am experienced in crate training and can provide a secure and comfortable space for your dog if you prefer them to be crated while I am caring for them. I am diligent in following any specific safety instructions or guidelines you provide to ensure your pet's safety at all times. Trust is the foundation of a successful pet caretaker-client relationship. I recognize the trust you place in me by allowing me access to your home and entrusting me with the care of your furry family member. I take this responsibility seriously and will always respect your home, privacy, and belongings. You can trust that I will provide the highest level of care and attention to your pet, just as if they were my own. Creating a comfortable environment for your pet is crucial for their well-being. I understand that some pets have specific preferences or routines, and I am committed to maintaining those while you're away. If you request that your dog be kept off furniture, I will ensure they adhere to that rule. I will follow any specific instructions you provide regarding feeding, playtime, or any other routines your pet requires. By maintaining a familiar and comfortable environment, I aim to reduce any stress or anxiety your pet may experience in your absence. In addition to safety, trust, and comfort, I also pay close attention to the overall environment in your home. I am mindful of maintaining cleanliness and hygiene standards during my stay. I will clean up after your pet, dispose of waste properly, and keep their living area tidy. I believe that a clean and organized space contributes to your pet's well-being and helps create a positive atmosphere for them. Your pet's happiness and contentment are my top priorities. By focusing on safety, building trust, and creating a comfortable environment, I strive to provide the best possible care for your furry friend. You can rest assured that I will go above and beyond to ensure their well-being while you are away. If you have any specific requests or concerns regarding safety, trust, or creating a comfortable environment for your pet, please feel free to discuss them with me. I am here to address any questions or provide additional information to make you feel confident in my abilities as your pet caretaker.
