House Sitting Riverdale

“Arie is amazing!! This was my first booking with her and she was so great about communicating and sending updates throughout the day, letting me know how Millie was doing eating and stuff, and being flexible fitting visits in with her own dog’s routine and her work schedule. I appreciated having someone so attentive, and I cannot recommend Arie enough!”

“Artiss was amazing! She was able to squeeze me in last minute when I really needed someone to watch my dog, and I’m so grateful she did. Communication was great from start to finish, and I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I really appreciated how accommodating and dependable she was. I would definitely book with Artiss again! 10/10 would Recommend.”

About: I have taken care of pups and kittens to older cats and dogs for about 5 years. I understand that they need love and care just like us humans do. I mostly work on my computer and take care of my daughter so, I'm pretty flexible. Their every need will surely be met. I have a 3-year-old and she loves animals, although she will be at school a great deal at the time. I have a nice space for dogs to walk around or play in my apartment as well as a park down the street with a big field. I am hospital and respectful in the dog's home as well.

“Dominique was friendly and a great sitter for my girl Millie! I was only gone for a couple days but she still sent updates throughout the weekend, letting me know what they got up to together and how Millie was doing with her meals and potty time. I appreciated her communication and flexibility as she balanced Millie’s routine with her own dog’s needs. Thank you Dominique!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. I have walked them, bathed them, cuddles , massages, gave medications you name it. I absolutely love the feeling and genuine love that dogs give so I protect and love them at all cost! A stay home wife with no children home currently, so I’m free a lot! Needing a new hobby I enjoy to consume my days now. I have small babies so the house is already baby proofed! Also can purchase whatever is needed to make them feel comfortable! Not big on dogs being in crates and cages but if that’s what your prefer that can be arranged as well! Long as the dog is comfortable I am happy!

“Dolly had a fun, relaxing time in Khalia’s care. We’re so grateful Khalia was available to play and keep Dolly company while we visited family.”

“Bridget is the perfect sitter for our pup! She knew exactly how to engage our 7 month old puppy and keep him busy but comfortable. She is the best!”

“We would 1000% recommend Katie. Katie was kind patient with one of our dogs that takes a little while to warm up to new people, even making a couple trips out to take her on walks before we left. During our time away, a new medical issue came up for our elderly dog. Katie was amazing at communicating with us, taking her to the vet for us, helping 3 way call with the vet while she was there and keeping a watchful eye on her until we could return home. We found our house exactly how we left it, everything tidy and clean. We hands-down will be using Katie again knowing that our dogs will be well loved and taken care of while we’re away”

About: Hello! I work remotely, therefore I am always home. Your dog will not be left unattended. I also have a flexible cancellation policy. I know life can be crazy! I am the ultimate dog lover and will treat your dog like family. I keep my dog healthy with lots of snuggles and daily walks. Your dog will receive that same care that my Fur baby receives. I can also accommodate more than one pet; the more the merrier. You can call any time to check on your baby. I am always available to talk. I have a big fenced yard and a cozy home. Your dog will always be welcomed on my lap and couch. ❤️ Since I work from home full time I have lots of time to hang out with the dogs in my yard. They are like my little coworkers! I usually take the dogs on 2 walks a day but if you have a preference on more or less, I can do that. How do I ensure your dog is safe during their visit? I have a small friendly chihuahua. He loves making new friends and sharing his toys. My yard is treated monthly for fleas and ticks (All pet friendly treatments). The yard is secure with a tall fence and no gaps. My dog is up to date with his vaccines. Please let me know if your furbaby has a set schedule if not they will follow our routine. They get plenty of supervised play time and potty breaks throughout the day. I regularly vacuum and mop my house. All furniture also gets vacuumed daily. I use pet friendly flea prevention methods inside and outside my house. We get our house and yard professionally treated to avoid ticks and fleas. But I ask that you also keep your pet on flea preventatives. All dogs that come in must be vaccinated. Please do not bring your pup if they are showing any symptoms. (Runny stools, coughing, runny nose)

“Sharett was amazing to work with and my dog Roo absolutely adores her. She was professional and communicative while staying at my home looking after Roo. Her background expertise with dogs shows. She even went above and beyond and continued to help with Roo’s muzzle training as we work on her fear reactivity with other dogs in the big city. If you are in the South Loop Chicago area, I definitely recommend. Thank you Sharett!”

About: With over 4 years of personal pet sitting / house sitting experience - I’ve learned how to deal with dogs, cats, reptiles, and animals with special needs. I work a hybrid - flex schedule throughout the week so, my schedule is pretty flexible to check in. Saturday and Sunday I have no obligations other than to care for animals! My style is maintaining the animals normal schedule as closely as possible. The client will leave me with detailed instructions which I will refer to.

“Haley and Ephraim were wonderful with our dog while we were gone for a full week. Great communication, lots of photo updates, and they left our house in perfect shape. Their references were glowing as well! Our dog is big (75lb) and moderately leash-reactive and they handled it really well. He was totally himself when we got home!”

About: I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats for years in different sizes and different care needs. I have watched dogs and cats for family members for days at a time I work from home and can keep an eye on the pets the whole time and take breaks for having to go at anytime that they need. I can feed them and give them medication if necessary. Also no open foods or dangerous things for them to get into. I also do not smoke and have a temperature controlled house

“Nicole was so gracious to accommodate a last minute booking, so thankful for her! My dog Theo was absolutely thrilled to see her again.”

About: With over 20 years of dedicated pet care experience, I provide compassionate and reliable services tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, administering medication, or offering overnight stays, I ensure your fur love bugs receive the utmost care and attention. My commitment to building trusting relationships with both pets and their owners has been the cornerstone of my long-standing career in pet sitting. As a dedicated pet sitter, I structure my daily and weekly schedule to ensure I am highly available and responsive to the needs of both pets and their owners. Caring for pets in their owners’ homes requires a combination of attentiveness, respect, and adherence to established routines to ensure the well-being of the animals and the security of the home.

“If you are looking for a dog walker who will love your pups as much as you do, look no further than Syenna! Finding someone you trust completely with your home and pets can be nerve-wracking, but Syenna put all our worries to rest. Our two dogs, Cooper and Scuttle, are absolutely obsessed with her. She doesn’t just take them on routine walks—she gives them great exercise, keeps them safe, and never skips the most important part: the post-walk tummy rubs! The moment she arrives, Cooper and Scuttle start spinning with joy and literally flop at her feet. Syenna is reliable, punctual, professional, and deeply attentive to their individual personalities. Having her in our routine brings us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs are in the best possible hands. Cooper, Scuttle, and our entire family give her 10 out of 5 stars! Thank you, Syenna!”

About: I've had dogs my whole life including senior dogs and large dogs. I have experience in drop-in sitting for several days at a time. I've taken care of three small elderly dogs at once, including one that was completely blind and hard of hearing. I'm comfortable walking and bathing larger dogs, as I myself have had a dog over 100 pounds. I do not have professional experience, meaning I've never been paid to dog-sit, but I have been sitting for neighbors and friends for several years. He tenido perros todo mi vida, incluyendo perros grandes y de edad avanzada. Tengo experiencia cuidando perros a domicilio durante varios días seguidos. He cuidado a tres perros pequeños y mayores al mismo tiempo, entre ellos uno que era totalmente ciego y tenía problemas de audición. Me siento cómoda paseando y bañando perros grandes, ya que yo misma e tenido un perro de más de 100 libras. No cuento con experiencia profesional, es decir, nunca he cobrado por cuidar perros, pero llevo varios años cuidando los perros de vecinos y amigos. I am a full time university student working part time on my campus! All my classes are scheduled in the morning Monday-Thursday so I’m available after 3 then. Friday-Sunday I can be there for your pets anytime! I do not currently sit in my home, but I do have harnesses and leashes available if you do not already have one. We could discuss whether the leashes and harnesses I own are a good fit for your furry friend! :)

“Tred took excellent care of our high-energy husky mutt for the weekend. He communicated well and put in the time to really exercise and soothe our dog. He also kept our home clean and tidy during his stay. We'll definitely use him again and can't recommend him enough.”

About: I have experience caring for a variety of dogs from toy sized to giant, and I can coddle a puppy or roughhouse with the big guys. I also have recently become a cat mom to 2 rescue kittens. My personalized approach, dedication to pets' routines, and clear communication distinguish me. I prioritize building trust with both pets and owners, ensuring a positive and reliable pet-sitting experience. My regular job is part-time so I can be available on most weekdays and weekends to care for your pets if ever you are not available. I prioritize pets' well-being by ensuring a familiar environment. Daily routines, personalized attention, and open communication with owners are key to providing safe and trustworthy care.

About: I’ve worked at multiple dog hospitals and dog daycares and have taken care of dogs my entire life whether it’s my own or a family members. I go through it with the thought in mind that the dog needs to do everything before me so I’m more focused on making sure the dogs get what they need food,bathroom,ect. I go through a whole routine of waking up in the morning and letting the dogs out to go to the bathroom and then bringing them back in to eat and I’ll repeat that at noon and around 7 or 8pm for dinner.
