House Sitting in South Elgin

“Erika was wonderful with our Plott dog Nash!!❤️ he is still raving about how nice she was ! lol 😬 we took a week vacation and Erika stayed at our house and watched Nash for us. She sent us videos and pictures all the time! Our house was spotless when we came home! Just a really fantastic Dog Sitter! We will definitely use Erika again and again!”

“Erika was by far the best rover experience we’ve had. She went well above and beyond of what we expected. We were away from our phones most of the weekend for our wedding, and she kept us updated every few hours. Never once felt any worry! She left our house in a better condition than when we left it 😁”

“Ann was wonderful! After trying a few other sitters and a highly rated kennel, I found a perfect fit! Ann sent pictures, played ball with Bailey endlessly, and let Rascal sleep in bed with her. Just perfect!”

“Heather was very professional from the beginning. My dogs were very comfortable with her and she had full control of every situation. I came home to 2 happy boys. Would definitely recommend her to other dog parents.”

“Caroline did a great job looking after our two dogs at our house, while we were traveling. One of our dogs is very skittish but Caroline was very patient with her. She paid close attention to the pups. She is calm, reliable, and trustworthy. She kept the house clean and tidy as well. We recommend her and will be happy to have her watch our pups again!!”

“Bennett has been and continues to be a amazing sitter! He has compassion and caring for dogs, our included. He is very accommodating in terms of time, scheduling and the requests made by doting dog parents. He communicates clearly and keeps in contact so we know our dog is content and taken care of. He is an asset to his profession.”

“Grace is a pro! From the start, we could tell Grace had her stuff together and was very experienced and professional. She was great with our crazy boxer puppy, and she gave him all the love and care we needed him to get while we were out for the weekend. We are already booking her up for future house sitting needs! Thank you again, Grace!”

“Lauren recently stayed at our home from Thursday through Sunday to care for our dog, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the start, she was highly communicative and dependable, keeping us updated regularly with thoughtful messages and photos of our dog throughout the day. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our pet was in such capable and caring hands. We returned to a well-kept home—clean, orderly, and exactly as we left it—which speaks volumes to Lauren’s respect and attention to detail. Most importantly, our dog was clearly well cared for, happy, and relaxed. We truly appreciated the level of care and professionalism Lauren brought to the role, and we would gladly welcome her back anytime. Highly recommend!”

About: I have many years experience with Pets, especially dogs, but cats as well and I have always been able to help them understand how to cooperate. I use positive reinforcement and very clear communication and have been able to help them respond very quickly and understanding what is needed of them. And for me, I respect the unconditional love that they give by returning that, which creates a strong bond. I can express to them and communicate easily using cooperation rather than force. Love is foremost. I am a retired, ultrasound, technician, and I am free almost all days. I have no major commitments to children, grandchildren, etc. to interfere with my pet care routine. I am in good health able to walk even larger dogs with the understanding that they are leash trained. If they are not, I may have to spend some time training them if that is the wish of the owner, and I am well experienced in this training.. I am willing to walk your dog, let him or her out if that is their routine, feed provide water, make sure all their physical mental and emotional needs are met at the time of my visits. I will try to know and understand what they are used to and provide as much of that as possible to relieve the stress of their family being gone.

“Stephanie did a great job and my dog K.C. took to her right away. She left the house in very good order and followed up to make sure I had made it home. I would definitely recommend Stephanie and would confidently hire her again!”

About: Caring for dogs has always been something that brings me so much joy. I’ve looked after all kinds of pets such as playful puppies, relaxed seniors, and everything in between. I’m gentle, loving, and always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and at home. I take the time to learn their routines, favorite toys, and quirks, so they get personalized care and attention. Whether it’s giving meds, going on walks, or just snuggling on the couch, I’m there with a warm heart and open arms. Your pup will be treated like family, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy it and make time for it. I’m flexible with my schedule while attending college and love starting or ending my day with dog walks, playtime, or check-ins. Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I do everything I can to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I stick closely to their routine, whether it’s walks, feeding, or cuddle time. I keep things calm and cozy, respect your space, and treat your home the way I’d want mine to be treated. Your pet gets my full attention, and I always check that doors, gates, and anything they can get into are secure. You’ll get updates and photos so you know they’re happy, safe, and in caring hands.

“Sydney was great! Very friendly and willing to do all the tiny things our little guys needed! She sent us pictures and kept us updated on how they were doing as this was their first time with a sitter. We would highly recommend her for anyone and hope to use her services again. I'd rate higher if I could.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life; dogs, cats, ducks, and more. I love being able to provide a safe and peaceful experience for any type of pet! I’m currently caring for my disabled mom. I have the flexibility and availability to help out any time of day. Whether it’s walking, sitting, or check-ins. I currently have two big dogs, Bubba and Rufus. I’ve had both since they were puppies and have used positive reinforcement training to now have both well socialized and very good boys.

About: I have helped raise three kitties! I have additionally helped to raise a puppy who was a bit reactive and required additional training. While it was tough, it was very rewarding and I appreciate the way it helped me better communicate with my dog. I am currently taking a break from corporate work, and would love to spend my summer and early fall regrouping but doing one of my favorite things: Hanging out with and helping adorable animals! I am extremely flexible with my schedule, and willing to travel. Currently, I care for my pets by providing weekly brushing, daily feeding, daily litter box cleaning/rotation, weekly litter deep cleans, and play time. For dogs, I am comfortable, feeding, walking with a harness, collar, as well as a gentle-leader for our more reactive friends. While doing home visits, I am comfortable and happy to supervise outdoor/backyard time. I love long walks and am comfortable with dogs up to 100 lbs.

“Valerie is amazing! Left the house beautiful and washed all bed linens and did the other tasks I asked her to do! My Eli was well taken care of and she updated and responded quickly to any requests. Gots lots of pictures of my boy and she was very upbeat about it all! I will most definitely try to use her again!!”

Holly E.

“Emma was amazing! She took such good care of our Zeus. She sent pictures, communicated often, even offered to do extras like water my plants! I will definitely use Emma again and highly recommend her!”

“Tracy was very good and respectful in home sitter for 2 of our dogs. We have a 6 year old special needs dog who is blind and she was comfortable with him. Our other is a higher energy dog about 3 years old. She stayed in home and we feel they were well cared for. It's really hard to board a blind dog because they can't get used to new surroundings.”

Diana & Peter H.

“Madisyn was fantastic. She sent plenty of updates throughout the day and my puppy looked so happy. Due to all the fun, my puppy was very happy and tired when I came home. That’s all a dog parent can ask for.”
