House Sitting in South Elgin

“Erika house sat our two dogs for us while we were out of town. She was very patient with our anxious dog and took great care in getting acclimated with him. We really appreciated the pictures and communication, and she left our dogs happy as clams and our home immaculate. Will definitely work with Erika again!”

“Kendall is fantastic! Responds quickly, shows up on time, and very understanding of my dogs’ quirks. Kendall stayed at our house while we were out of town, and we’re so appreciative of the photos she sent us. I know they enjoyed being at home rather than in a kennel being boarded elsewhere. We will definitely have Kendall watch our pups again.”

“Caroline is great. She took care of our dog over the weekend at our house. She shows up on time, is respectful, responsive. Sent lots of pictures. Would definitely recommend her, will definitely be a repeat customer in the future.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Scott was fantastic with our dogs during the nine days we were away. He clearly cared for them like they were his own, and the thoughtful updates he sent made us feel completely at ease while we were gone. Our pups were happy, healthy, and well-loved when we returned. Beyond being a reliable sitter, he’s just an overall great guy, and we feel very lucky to have found him. We’d book with him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to anyone looking for excellent care for their pets.”

“Lauriel is very responsible with Archie. She is communicative, prompt, respectful and always available. She respects my home, and genuinely cares for Archie. She sends me pictures and updates and checks in on him on days she is not with him. She is quick to respond and always willing to help me out!”

“THANK YOU so much for taking such good care of Freya! We had Katelynn stay at our house for 5 days and we got so many updates about how Freya was doing. Will ABSOLUTELY continue to book Katelynn, especially since we have a major surgery coming up for Freya and there might be days where I cannot come home and check on her during work. Thanks again!”

“I wish there were more stars to give! Stephanie is amazing! During the interview I knew there was something special about her. She asked a lot of questions and took notes on the special needs and personalities of each of our 5 dogs. She was very attentive not only to the needs of our pups, but our desire for updates and communication while we were away. Each day we received videos and pictures of the girls with clever captions. I watched some of them over and over. I never once worried about them while they were in her care. She is attentive and reliable. It was our first experience leaving the dogs with a non-family member and Stephanie went above and beyond any expectations we had!”

Sue C.

“My Bella loved Ann the moment they met. Ann was responsible, respectful , kind and calm. I will definitely trust and ask Ann to watch my fur baby again when we go away! She was on time and sent me photos and updates. Thank you so much !!”

About: *PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING* When booking for house sitting, I am unable to do overnight stays, as I do have animals at home that I need to care for. I can do extended hours during the day but will need to go home every 6 hours or so to care for my own animals as well I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a teenager. I would babysit my neighbors dogs and friends animals when they would go out of town. I have a cattle dog and can handle working breeds and high energy breeds. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I have two cats of my own. I have a very high maintenance siamese cat that loves attention and a specific diet, and I have a sweet 8 year old tabby. In my own home we make sure all doors and windows are locked, no food gets left out, nothing toxic to the animals is left in their reach. Anything brought into our house is researched to see if animals are allergic to it or if it is hazardous to them.

“Lexi was great! She was excellent with Baba, responsible and responsive.”

Martha K.

“Excellent!!! Our pups loved having Kimberly here and I have a very good feeling they were well loved!! She communicated daily, sent pictures and updates which was very nice - definitely recommend and will use again!”

Sara C.

“Heather has done a spectacular job caring for my 2 dogs. I was anxious about leaving them for an extended trip especially since one of the pups has a history of severe pain that sometimes isn’t under control. I needn’t have worried. Both dogs did wonderfully under Heather’s watch! She sent pictures of every visit which helped me feel comfortable being away from them! I came home to happy pups excited to see me. I will call on Heather again!”

Lisa R.

“Very reliable and always punctual. Considerate of our routines and home. Gives me a peace of mind knowing my anxious girl has someone to lean on while we are gone. Appreciate that Marylin will communicate with me throughout her stay with my precious pup. She is just what my girl needs…..a calm, confident member of the pack”

“Gail was awesome- We had a last minute need to find someone and we are so grateful we found Gail. Our dog and kitties took to her right away in our meet and greet.. and we felt at ease when we needed to leave for the weekend. She kept us up to date on our pets the entire time. The house was nice and tidy and left us some nice treats and we felt like we had left our pets with family and our pets were doing great. Thank you Gail!!”

About: I grew up around a variety of animals my whole life and I have been caring for others pets since I was 13 years old. I have always loved animals and treat everyone's pets as if they were my own. My senior year of high school I created my senior project around therapy dogs and helping special needs children. I trained my own dog to be a certified therapy dog through the organization known as Pet Partners. The remainder of the project was visiting with special needs children and doing educational activities. We also visited libraries and young children with developing their reading skills. I recently graduated from Purdue University with an Animal Science degree which has allowed me to gain even more knowledge on how to care for people's pets. I also have knowledge of animal CPR and first aid for cats and dogs. I'm looking forward to being apart of this pet care community and providing excellent care to all the pets I encounter.

“Skyler was wonderful! She was here for our Poppy girl every night and kept as close to her routine as possible. We will definitely be reaching out to Skyler again for future stays!”

About: I’m a dedicated dog mom to my senior Pomeranian, Tito, so I understand how important patience, gentle care, and attention to detail are—especially with small and older dogs. I have hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, medication awareness, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I treat every dog like my own and prioritize their happiness and safety at all times. I have a flexible schedule and prioritize pet care as part of my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding throughout the week, including weekends. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and consistency, and I’m great at accommodating last-minute bookings when needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets feel at home. I follow all care instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and give lots of attention and affection. I’m attentive to behavior, ensure secure surroundings during walks or visits, and always keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

“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.”

“Danielle was amazing! She took such good care of Lola, communicating with us everyday and sending us pictures. We felt very comfortable having her in our home and will absolutely be having her sit for us again!”

Sheryl R.
