House Sitting in South Chicago Heights

“This is our second time having Destiny watch our beloved baby. She is reliable and has great communication with us. We will definitely keep using her for all of our future dog sitting needs.”

Dani K.

“Love Amanda! She's calm, accommodating and competent. Our dogs loved her, including our husky who is usually more of a loner. Glad we found her and will definitely book with her again!”

Elaine C.

“Thank you Ryan for taking such great care of Birdie!”

Hannah S.

“Cheyenne has dog sat for us a few times and each time she was timely and a good communicator. We’d definitely recommend and continue to book her!”

About: I have owned one dog after the other since I was 6 years of age, with my current 2nd dog who’s a boxer. My dog is a very rambunctious type who I can’t get enough of. I am available to work full time however will be working as a door dasher as well. So when I’m house sitting or coming for visits staying for a prolonged amount of time isn’t ideal but I will accept an increased price if necessary. Every morning I take my dog out for a walk followed by a bowl of food. I’m very familiar with wet and dry food, as well as medication taken via orally. My pup is also an aged fella, so any experience with older dogs having trouble getting up and down the stairs I can handle as well.

About: I was always had furry siblings but have graduated to a cat mama. I enjoy creating personal heavens for our companions. Reliable, punctual and kind. I have a full-time job that pays the bills but I am looking for ways to feed my soul. Overnights are great as well as drop ins. I would prefer to host at client's homes as my current home does not allow dogs. Willing to board or take cats overnight. Let's make it a sleepover!

“Twinkie enjoyed every minute. Thank you for being attentive and keeping him happy”

“Brandon did an amazing job when the previous dog sitter cancelled on me last minute. Highly recommend .”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life ranging from fish, amphibians, rodents, birds, cats, and dogs. I love connecting with animals and giving them all the love they deserve! I also am a former vet assistant (I now work at a vet lab) so I have experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and health statuses. My priority is the pets’ safety and comfort, and will work with them to ensure we have a foundation of trust. I also can work enrichment into my visits to get their minds more stimulated or just give them a 15 minute belly rub if that’s more up their alley. I’ve also trained many of my pets so I can help introduce basic commands to puppies or reinforce commands and manners from older pets. I’m available pretty much every day for the summer. Once mid-August comes around, I’ll be available Sunday-Tuesday at all times and Wednesday-Saturday from 9-11 AM I can come in let the pets out, clean up messes from them, feed/water, play enrichment games or work on training, and give them lots of love!

About: I've had dogs ever since I was born, I've walked and played with them. I've been dog sitting for neighbors since 2018. I've also volunteered at local shelters to help get the animals adopted by walking them around, and I helped keep their cages and surrounding area clean. I don't have any other commitments I'm obligated to, other than previously scheduled family engagements. I am happy to spend all my time towards caring for your pets! I won't take clients' pets in my home due to me having dogs and one of them is reactive towards other animals. However, this gives me better opportunity to bond with your pets as they won't be stressed from having to leave their home. If you have cameras in or around the home, please let me know prior to me entering, and I am perfectly fine with that! I can follow directions and schedules to a tee, and am happy to do what is needed to give extra love to your pets!

“Being a first time dog owner and needing someone to watch Taylor was a bit nerve wrecking for me but I was easily calmed when we met ahead of time and saw how much Taylor enjoyed you. Thank you for caring for her like she was your own. I have no doubt we’ll be seeing you again in our future needs. Thank you!”

About: I was the neighborhood baby/dog sitter for most of my teens and even now I do the occasional dog sitting for a week or so for family friends. I have taken care of dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I recently started fostering kittens and have a newfound love for those little guys too! I’ve owned bunnies and hamsters, watched a snake, taken care of a bird. You name it I’m sure I’ve had some sort of experience with it! I’d be so happy to take care of your critter too <3 I work from home! Rest assured your little buddy will get lots of attention in my care. If they have a more strict letting out schedule that’s absolutely no problem! I have a small mix dog, with two friendly cats. I work from home and can spend more time than the average person with your pet. I have a non fenced in yard, but am happy to take out on walks or on their leash in my yard.

About: Hi, I’m AmberRae! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I’ve grown up with all types of pets from dogs to cats, rabbits and snakes, I even had 2 rats and now a cat again. I can help reinforce basic training like sit, stay, and leash walking. I have a sweet black cat of my own, so I understand how much your pets mean to you. I’ll treat them like family whether they need playtime, cuddles, or calm, reliable care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I’m already caring for my own cat every day, and I’ve always made time for walks, feeding, play, and cuddles when watching dogs or other pets. I’m organized, flexible, and genuinely enjoy making animals feel safe and loved so fitting pet care into my schedule feels like second nature. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort come first. I follow any routines or instructions you provide to keep things familiar and stress free. I always make sure pets have clean spaces, fresh water, and plenty of love and attention. I keep a calm, respectful environment and never force interactions especially with shy or anxious pets. Trust means everything to me, and I treat every home and animal with care, just like my own.

About: I have great attention to detail and enjoy connecting with dogs. I am very likeable and friendly and enjoy getting to meet many types of dogs. Developing a trusting relationship with my clients is key. I've been house/dog sitting for a few years and I've learned to bond with the dogs and really make them feel comfortable while their people are away. I'm a huge dog person and love meeting and learning about the endless number of breeds. I have great references and I think the biggest benefit of working with me is having the peace of mind of knowing that your home and pets are both being well taken care of. I'm hard working and strive to offer the best services possible. You won't regret choosing me to look after your home and/or pet.

“Having Kendyll stay with my dogs provided me so much relief! She was great with the dogs, and very communicative. When I asked last minute to come in earlier or stay later she was able to be flexible and accommodating. Most importantly, I felt comfortable leaving my dogs in her hands! I would definitely recommend!”

Logan K.

“Sydney was great with our pup. She communicated when she got there and when she left. Will work with her again, if possible!”

About: I've been taking care of animals for a long time now, I've taken care of horses, cat, reptiles, and dogs of course. I like to bring a positive energy with me to keep pets of all kinds happy There is always time for me to sit a pet, I can go night sits, and early morning. I dont have a car but I make it around by Lyft, I always show up early to get a better understanding of the animals im watching I make sure they are well fed, consistent potty breaks, and will make sure they are safe at all costs. Animals are my number one priority

About: I've had rescue dogs my whole life and understand the patience, love, and consistency they need to thrive. I’m the proud dog parent of a 3-year-old Plott Hound and a 4-year-old Beagle/Pit mix—both super friendly and always up for a game of tug-of-war! Over the years, I’ve successfully potty trained, crate trained, and helped my dogs work through separation anxiety. My hands-on experience gives me a calm, confident approach with all breeds and personalities. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own in a safe, fun, and loving environment. I create my own work schedule, which allows me to dedicate focused, flexible time to pet care every day. I structure my routine around feeding, walks, playtime, and training with my two dogs. This flexibility makes it easy to welcome another dog into our routine—whether for a walk, drop-in, daycare, or boarding. I’m committed to giving every pet the attention and consistency they need to feel safe and happy. I have a fully fenced yard where your dog can safely play alongside my two friendly, playful dogs. There are plenty of toys to keep everyone entertained! I’m happy to crate your dog if needed and always follow your daily routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I believe in clear communication, so I love sending picture updates to keep you connected and reassured while your pup is in my care.

About: Animal lover since I could crawl. From turtles to cats to large dogs, I became another caretaker of my many family pets (walking dogs, cleaning litter, and entertaining them with daily play). I can’t wait to use my decade of knowledge to care for and understand your babies! I am completely available throughout the week! I will be leaving the area to go to school February 15. So please book any time and day between now and then. I have 3 dogs, 2 who are blind and have a great routine of 3-4 daily walks and time to run around. The 3rd dog is the motherly figure and a very welcoming guide to any guests. My two cats are very shy yet welcoming. Their living arrangement is upstairs and the dogs’ is in the downstairs area.

About: I grew up with big and small dogs and have always loved different species of animals. If not immediately, with time a loyal dog and cat are bound to warm up and head to me for love. It never fails. I respect their space and boundaries and reinforce what you have taught them once they’re comfortable(great if you’re teaching them new tricks and/or potty training pups). I believe space is more than likely the answer as our little ones need time to observe and follow their intuition in a calm environment. I have done in-house sits (for people home often but work unpredictable hours), drop ins, and full house sits for big to small cats and dogs. More reviews on TrustedHouseSitter (I can WhatsApp you a link!) I have currently graduated college and work on my own schedule as I travel around the world. Indy - Oct 15th Kentucky - Oct 29 Chicago - TBD Contact me if you have any questions, I am open to working with your times and making something work through travels. :) I keep the pets protected by keeping everything as my client left it, scanning for any possible hazards, and checking in with client if I see something out of the ordinary or needing adjustment on security. The main thing I ask of clients is please let me know your dogs personality as best as you can and how they’re expected to be cared for(medication, frantic behavior, playfully aggressive, etc). Also, if I am house sitting and you need additional cleaning services, please message me and I’ll be sure to assist you on how we can create a cleaner environment and pricing. Anxiety will veer in clearer space, for you and your little friend. I’m here to make things easier and more fun! :) I have additional reviews on TrustedHouseSitters. Once you send me a request I can provide a link (or screenshot if Rover doesn't allow it.)
