Top rated Sandwich house sitters

“We went overseas with total confidence knowing Josh and Anja were looking after our home and pups. We've had them stay with our dogs five times now and every time they make accommodations to fit us into their schedule and take absolutely top knotch care of our beloved duo. They always provide tons of photo updates and check-ins, which we always love so much. Not to mention the joy of coming home to CLEAN FLOORS and a tidy home in the middle of early IL Spring (aka - Mud Season 🐾)!? Unmatched. We're so thankful we've found such incredible and dedicated sitters! Book them with confidence.”


“Ericka was a blessing! At the very last cancellation of our previous chosen sitter, she came as a life saver! She was great with our dogs! Both dogs loved her and she was able to train them!

About: We're a family of 4 who love animals. We have a 13 year old and a 3 year old Bassett Hounds that get along well with other dogs, cats, and any furry animal. If you're looking for your pet to be cared for, then trust us to take care of them as if they were our own. We have a large home, so there is space for your pet to roam inside and out. Our dogs love long walks so we can accommodate your style & frequency to ours as well. If there are any special needs we can also follow your instruction for care. We welcome you to visit us first to make sure you'll be comfortable leaving your pet under our care. My current work schedule allows for cat care 7 days a week, however, I can only accept dogs between Friday - Sunday days. Please reach out with whatever dates you need and I can confirm if there is any additional flexibility outside of these dates. We have two very friendly and playful dogs to make yours feel welcomed. Our home is very dog friendly and do not mind your pet on our furniture. We have two crates that can be used if that's your preference, no need to bring yours!

“Alex was great with our dogs. We have a German Shepherd mix who has to warm up to someone. Alex did wonderful with understanding that need and let him warm up and ask for attention & love. Our other dog is very social but doesn’t like fireworks. We really appreciated that he reached out to check on her needs for New Year’s Eve. We will definitely use Alex again for our dogs.”

“Christina is very sweet, very professional, accommodating, and wonderful with our pet! I have been very grateful to know our girl is being so wonderfully cared for!”


About: I ran a Petsmart Pethotel for 8 years of my life. So, I have lots of experience with all types of dogs and personalities. I have also had dogs and cats all my life. I have a Siberian husky of my own and 2 main coon kitties that I have to get ready in the morning and walk Zeus before and after work. So, babysitting another furry friend would just be another part of that routine. I would treat someone’s pet like my own. I have a very active husky myself so we go on multiple walks, especially on the weekends and play sessions in the yard. I would cater any dog’s routine to whatever the owner would like. My goal would be to provide and safe and fun environment while the owner is away

About: I have taken care of puppies, all the way to elderly dogs! I have helped potty train, gave medication, & even just hung out on the couch! I value an animal feeling safe & loved. Making sure your dog gets what it needs is what I am here for! I currently am staying at home & looking to busy up my schedule a bit! I am available everyday mornings/evenings & all day weekends! I can help take them out, provide medication at a time they need it, or just feed them dinner & go around the block! I can provide anything your fur baby needs! Needs some extra loving & outside time? No problem! Needs to be potty trained? No problem! I truly will go lengths to make sure my presence creates ease for those who need little extra help!

About: I have had all types of animals my entire life. I had 3 cats in my childhood, then as I got older we had guinea pigs and fish. I was a volunteer at a local humane society for 6 years growing up. I then worked at Kendall County Animal Control as a Kennel Technician for over a year. Then I worked at a highly established Naperville Animal Vet for a year as a Veterinary Assistant/Receptionist. I have been at PetSmart for over 4 years now. I am a active member of Renko Animal Rescue as a volunteer and foster. I specialize in alot of animal care, but if I had to specifically pick one, im a cat person. I do have alot of knowledge about dogs, such as medical, feeding, nutrition, excerise, and behavioral from all my past jobs/experience. I currently have 3 cats, 2 guinea pigs, 2 gerbils, a bearded dragon, a betta fish, and 30 exotic shrimp! I am currently full-time. But I do get to write my own schedules, so I can work around any needs. I can do morning and nights! My entire care will be completely based around your animals needs. I will ask how their normal day is, and I'd like to keep it very similar, so there's no stress or discomfort. But of course they will get lots of love, because who can resist their cute little faces!

About: I am an excellent communicator and treat pets as they are my own. I have a heart for helping others and this is one of the ways I do that! I’m currently a college student and am very flexible with my schedule. I have weekends free and can help in a last minute situation! I’m happy to help. I make sure to ask lots of questions about the home before I am left there with the animals. I also make sure to question anything I am unsure of or unfamiliar with!

About: When I watch any animal for the many families I already dog sit for, I promise to treat their pets like they’re my own. I have a huge love for dogs and enjoy getting to spend my days playing and taking care of them. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own that I love with all my heart so I know how important it is to find someone who will love them like I do when I’m not home. I have experience staying overnight with dogs whether it be for one night or multiple nights in a row. I have worked with elderly dogs and puppies and I am happy to work with either. I have been responsible for giving medications on strict time schedules, I have not had to administer shot medication to dogs, only pills, but am willing to learn if needed. I would love to become a part of a new dog family and give your pets the love they need when you can’t, please feel free to reach out with anymore questions! I currently work full time with children with autism. Though I do work full time I have many breaks between sessions where I am able to check in on your pets and let them out. I don’t work nights or weekends where I would be able to give your pets my undivided attention! I always keep a close eye on pets in my care. While I am in your home I will be present with your pets and give them all the love and care they need.

19. Anisa L.
“I have had Anisa watch my dog, Dax (German Shephard) several times over last year and a half. We use her every time we go on vacation and or are away for the kid's sports. She has always taken very good care of him with no issues, even going as far as sending us good morning pics of him playing. Our neighbor has also started using her service when they are out of town instead of kenneling their two dogs. In my opinion this is much easier on the dog as they are still in their home. I would without hesitation recommend her services to anyone who doesn't want to kennel their dog.”
