Pet Sitting in Sandwich

“Renee is amazing! This was the first time I've left my dogs with someone they don't know and she totally rocked! One dog has separation anxiety and the other takes weeks to warm up to anybody new. Renee won both of them over very quickly and almost illuminated my anxiety of leaving them alone. I highly recommend her! Thank you Renee!”

“We’ve had a wonderful experience with Susan. She is so incredibly kind and caring. Maggie absolutely adores her and gets so excited every time she arrives. She’s also been super flexible and accommodating with our schedule, which we really appreciate. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing Maggie is in such good hands. We highly recommend Susan 😊”

About: I have had pet dogs and cats my whole life, and they have always been a cherished part of my family. I currently live in a non-pet-friendly apartment building, so Rover gives me the opportunity to care for pets while I can’t have one of my own. I work at a warehouse on second shift, so I am gone in the evenings and head back home around 1am. When housesitting, I’m able to provide care to your pets during the day until I leave for work at 3:30 pm i will do my best to adhere to your normal routine with your pets, and ensure that they are exercised, fed, and pottied before I leave for work. It is my goal to adhere to your pets’ normal routine as much as possible. When I am watching someone’s pets for the first time, I request details about their schedule, eating and play habits, special quirks, etc so that I am prepared to give them consistent and attentive care.

“Thank you so much for taking care of Quinn. She really seems happy when you are there.”

“Anja and Josh provided top quality and loving care to my cat Jade while I traveled to Europe for 7 days. If you want mature and reliable service, Anja and Josh are the choice for you!”

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 mornings, nights, weekends, and holidays! 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!

“Kimberly was amazing. She did drop in visits for a week for my two dogs and took excellent care of them. She is professional, courteous and communicative. I highly recommend her!”

About: I love interacting with pets and getting to know their personalities! I'm getting over the loss of my dog, and taking care of your fur baby will give me the love I'm missing from mine. I'm currently working in management full-time, I have flexibility to take half days and can be available M-F 3pm-8pm. I'm free almost every weekend 5am-7pm or overnight boarding in my home. I have a zip line to tether to if needed, my yard is not fenced in. I live in a quiet neighborhood with very little traffic; it's a dead end street. I'm happy to crate your pet if needed. I am willing to explore local dog parks if permitted. I also enjoy longer walks if your pup is up for it! I can let your pet out for potty breaks several times a day and provide play time, too. I'm happy to follow any specific training protocols you are working through for consistency!

“Carol is great! She is great at communicating and I love all her pet knowledge! Highly recommended!”

“Cynthia did a great job for a very reasonable price. Our cat is quite elderly, but he was healthy and in good spirits when we returned. The house was kept in perfect order and very clean. We also appreciated receiving daily photos. Even though he missed us, it’s clear he was well taken care of. Highly recommend!”

“Amber was so wonderful with our dog Kermit. He couldn’t wait for her to come back each visit. He would wait by the door for her. She gave him lots of love and attention and will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you!!!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life; big medium small. I have always been able to create connections with furry friends by giving them lots of love and attention. I’m very attentive when it comes to taking care of senior dogs and their needs. As well as being just as playful as puppies are. I’m currently on summer break before I go to college to become a pediatrician. This being said, my schedule is very available for a long while! For my dog at home, I treat her like family! I walk her daily, feed her twice a day, and give her snuggles and lots of love. I take her outside in the backyard about every hour in the fenced in backyard and she’ll run around and go nuts chasing her ball, and running after rabbits.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life from big dogs to small. I love walking my own dogs in forest preserves and I have dog-sat my neighbor’s dog before. I also worked at a pet store for a few months. I’m currently in school and have a part time job, but my mornings during the weekdays from 6 am to 11am are free to walk your dogs. I currently don’t offer pet care in my home, but I’m happy to travel to you. I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while in their own home. I follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. I can also send updates and photos so you know they’re doing great while you’re away.

About: I have always had a dog or two for pets during my life. I would not know how to be without one. I have just recently become a lover of cats, too. My son has 4 and I find myself wanting to visit them often. I look forward to coming home after work and seeing the joy in my dogs eyes that I bring them. I would love to bring that same joy to your pet. I would be available to visit your pet from 3pm to 10pm during the weekdays and I am open on the weekends. I would love them and care for them like they were my own. I am patient. I would love the opportunity to meet your pet! P.S. I do not have a Facebook account. I would rather spend my time with people, friends, family, my pets and animals. Please contact me through email. I look forward to meeting you and your pet soon! I work at the school as a librarian. I am available after 3 on weekdays,and all day on weekends. I am very flexible and reliable. I have a huge yard. I have a sweet little Morkie who would keep your dog company. I would provide security and love to your dog.

About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals! Currently have 3 loving and friendly dog along with 1 cat! They love when friends come over and they have someone to play with! We go on walks, love to be outside in our fenced in our back yard and snuggling up on the couch! My fur babies and I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I do have 3 children so being good around kids for stays with me is a must! Thank you! I am currently a full time stay at home mom, so I will be home with your pets all day long! We like to spend a lot of the day out in the fenced in backyard, and getting cozy on the couch afterwards for a nap! We have a monthly bark box subscription, so we have plenty of toys to play with! I have a big fenced in yard, and sweet dogs, eager to meet some new friends to play with! We do not have crates at my home, but always welcome to stay consistent with your preference of crate training if necessary!

About: I have worked with animals at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where we house dogs, cats, and even birds, bunnies, or hamsters. I worked there for two years, and I have grown up with & been around both dogs and cats my whole life. I am currently a full time college student but I have a lot of time after classes in the afternoon and evening, as well as free time on the weekends, to accommodate. I can provide treats, toys, and love to a client’s fur baby. I’m able to take dogs on walks and potty breaks, feed and administer medicine to both dogs and cats, crate a dog if needed, or snuggle up with a client’s fur baby.

About: I have taken care of a dog named Cali since she was a pup and a cat named Honey since he was a kitten! Taking care of both is difficult, but it got easier when knowing what they needed and when they needed it, like with basic needs; such as litter box cleaning, when to go outside, when to be fed, and when it is time to play. Having school two days a week, pet care fits into the rest of my three day week, especially with friends going off to other schools. Pets need attention mostly all the time, that is unless you have a cat who is very sleepy. I usually just check to make sure everything is clean and food/water is full for cats. If they need something specific, usually you'll know quickly. But dogs are a little different. They need more attention and lots of loving. They have schedules, love to play, and need to go out multiple times a day. Based on different animals, they will need different care. Luckily I have experience with both, which makes it easier to provide good care.

About: Hello! I've always had lots of pets growing up and have a love for furry companions. They truly are the heart of the family! Many friends and family will lean on me to watch over pets when they leave town and I'm looking to extend this service out to the community around me. I love walking dogs, playing with pets, and just giving them company. I'm extremely flexible with my schedule since I am a grad student in physical therapy and can accommodate any needs. Open to dog/house sitting, cat sitting, walking, and will include lots of belly scratches to any pets- big or small! I would love to help out in any way I can to make sure your furry family member gets the best care they can get! I can't wait to meet your pets! Until May, I just have class M - F 8a-12p. From May 13 - July 10th, I will have clinical and be working 40 hours a week with varying start/end times. Completely free on weekends! Very comfortable with working in whatever environment your pet is most comfortable with. Experience with fences, invisible fences, lines, and crating. I’m extremely respectful of maintaining a home environment and keeping up with a pet’s normal daytime routine!

“Samantha did a great job of taking care of our almost 11 year old Zeus! We had some drop in visits and Samantha sent us notes and photos of her time with Zeus. We were very happy and highly recommend.”
