Dog Sitting South Elgin

“Sandra was great. She was especially good with our dog Ollie who is a rescue with trust issues. She took her time with him and was very gentle. By the end of the visit he was sitting right beside her wanting attention. She is very experienced with dogs and it shows.”

About: Hi! My name is Allison, and I'm a passionate animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility for the past four years, where I've gained extensive experience handling groups of dogs, recognizing behavior cues, and providing safe, attentive care in a fast-paced environment. I'm also an approved veterinary assistant, which has given me additional training in animal health and wellness. I'm experienced in administering both oral and topical medications and know how to monitor pets for signs of illness or discomfort. Your pet's safety, health, and happiness will always be my top priority. In addition to working with animals, I'm a full-time college student and college cheerleader, so I'm responsible, dependable, and great at managing my time. I'm looking to earn some extra income doing what I truly love—caring for pets and giving them the same love and attention they receive at home. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight care, you can count on me to provide personalized, compassionate care. I'll treat your pet like family and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout every visit so you can relax knowing they're in caring, experienced hands. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! While I will have a busy schedule, I will always make it a priority to make sure your pet is well taken care of while you’re away! This includes sticking to their schedule to the best of my ability, making sure they get all their energy out before bed time, or anything else they need!

About: I love dogs and cats whichever furry friend you have I am more than happy to take care of as if they were my own with equal love, attention, and enthusiasm. I am originally a dog person but my boyfriend has a cat and they have grown on me equally. Whether you are going on vacation or just working I am here to help your cat or dog get the exercise and friendship it needs while you’re away. I have taken care of many family, friends, and neighbors pets as if they were my own. Your pets safety and happiness is my utmost concern while under my care. I always make sure to give them plenty of exercise but also that they are well fed and have clean water. I understand that for many people animals aren’t just pets they’re family. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to look after your furry family. I am available to check in on them whenever you need. Whatever you need I can do if you just leave me a list or let me know if there’s anything specific I should take extra care with. I have had clients ask to keep their dog away from other dogs while they are away in case they don’t react well and am happy to follow directions such as these to ensure their safety.

“Kassandra took excellent care of my kittens while I was out of town. I will definitely contact her should I need someone to care for them again.”

About: My family and I love dogs. We also love cats, but unfortunately I’m allergic to them. We’ve raised three dogs over the years and currently have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever named Jax. I pretty much work from home and have a 4 year old Golden Retreiver named Jax so our routine is already made for a dog. I have a fenced in back yard. Your dog will have a playmate in Jax. I enjoy going out and playing fetch with Jax although he's not much of a fetch guy. He enjoys me faking like I'm going to chase him and then he gets the zoomies and runs around the yard like a crazy boy.

About: I've taken care of and had dogs ever since I was 8 years old. I recently relocated to Chicago and lost my dog a little over a year ago at age 12 to natural causes.

I like to do a morning long walk 20 minutes or more before I go to work. Depending on what is needed for pet care, I have a pretty flexible schedule to do more than one potty break. After work I also like to do another evening walk if time allows and just to settle down for the night. I have a friendly dog community and do not mind walking multiple times to expend energy. The house is also very spacious for relaxation. If you allow furniture sleeping so do I. I'm flexible to what my clients would want from my in home stays.
