Pet Sitting in South Elgin

“We've used Madeline a couple times now to pop in and check on our cats. Her reports are always detailed and she always tries to get pictures (when they decide to come out of hiding). Definitely recommend!”

“Our cat is very particular, but he is so comfortable with Kassie. She is so good with him and we always come back to a clean house and a happy cat! Highly recommend!!”

“Jacqueline was wonderful with our cats, she gave written updates at each visit and was proactive in asking us questions to make sure they were getting the proper care. Would absolutely work with her again!”

“Elena was exactly what we needed. For a very simple drop in with not a whole lot of notice, and in the middle of a thunderstorm, she did 100% perfectly. Absolutely hope to get her back with our little pup again.”

“Rebecca was amazing, flexible and great with my dog who was a little reluctant to go out. She went above and beyond- will definitely book her again!!”

“Jamie had cared for my cats twice and has done a great job. She makes sure everyone gets lots of snuggles and lets me know right away if any issues come up. I completely trust her in my home and with my fur babies, and I’ve already booked her again!”

“Carson is awesome with our big dogs! They really put in the time to get to know the dogs. It has been a real bonus for us to have them come while I'm laid up with a broken ankle.”

“Velvet took fantastic care of my two cats! She went the extra mile and make sure to give them some "outdoor" time (safely, through a screened window) for a few minutes each day - something I don't even do! Ha! She really impressed me by taking detailed notes during her informational visit, and she asked great follow-up questions too. She followed instructions exactly and sent great pictures of the kitties on the Rover card each day, which my daughter greatly appreciated - they are my daughters emotional support kitties, and they are very precious to us! Thank you Velvet for your professional and compassionate service!”

“Sophia was wonderful with my Obi! She was sweet and very punctual, arriving exactly when I needed her. I will definitely be utilizing her services again.”

“Nadine has been great with my cat! She confirms quickly, always checks in a day before, let’s me know when she’s going to stop by for her visit and is so good about sending pictures every day. Awesome!”

“Great as usual. Caterina will look after Penny for a couple of weeks now, and we trust she will do a great job and keep out cat healthy and happy until we get back. :-)”

“Despite being extremely busy, Stephanie made time for our two cats. She was, as she always is, so loving and caring! We trust Stephanie completely with our two older kitties, one of whom needs daily medication. I recommend Stephanie highly!”

“Neydy has always watched our two golden retrievers, she has always shown so much love and care for them both. They are always astatic to see her, since she plays with them and provides attention at all times. She’s very kind and loving and will recommend her to anyone who loves their pet.”

“Courtney took wonderful care of my dog Cappuccino. I needed someone to watch him for the day when I knew I had to work late and she took amazing care of him. She followed all my instructions and made me feel so comfortable leaving him with her. I brought him over to her on a second occasion and Cappuccino was so excited to see her. He ran right up and sat in her lap even though he hadn’t seen her in several months. I will definitely reach out to her again if I need a sitter. Thank you, Courtney!! 💕🐾”

“Sarah took such good care of my Murphy, not for a second did I worry about my puppy. She gave him all the loves and plenty of fresh air while I worked. Sarah is very kind and I’ll easily ask her again when I need a dog walker”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 8 years now. I really have a love for dogs and enjoy spending my time taking care of them. I’m very flexible, whatever your dogs needs to make you and your pet as comfortable as possible during my time with them. I like to make sure your dog gets to have some fun and excercise when they are with me I know of lots of trails on and off leash. I also have a large backyard that the dogs I care for just love. Whatever your dog needs day or night I will provide and make sure they feel happy and safe. If you have an interest in seeing more of my work check out my Facebook page @rachellorraniesdogservice I’m currently in school and working part time. My weekday mornings and early afternoons are open for walks and drop ins. I’m also available for boarding during the week and weekends making sure your dog goes out every few hours in between classes and work. I always make sure to find out if your dog is a runner or not. When entering your home I’m always careful about the door and your dog. Making sure no one gets out the house without a leash on is my top priority! Keeping your dog leashed during our walk, and using my knowledge of dog behavior to ensure your dog’s safety. Especially with other dogs we might encounter along the way.

“Denisse and Manny did a great job of taking care of our dog Daisy. They were on time, took care of feeding, giving medicine, walking and playing with Daisy. They took a lot of wonderful pictures so we felt completely at ease. Thank you both so very much.”

“Isaac loves all animals and is very loving and compassionate. He likes to learn knee training habits which come in handy when needed. He does his best to care for animals that suits the owner.”

About: I was raised in a home with pets and have been a loving owner and care provider for multiple cats since I was 14 years old. I have taken care of others' dogs and cats since I was in high school. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and stay with their pets while they traveled out of town. I have also had the opportunity to work as an animal care technician at Anderson Humane in South Elgin. My responsibilities were to provide puppies, kittens, dogs and cats with living spaces, toys and bedding that were clean and sanitized; provide opportunities for daily exercise and/or walks; mentally engage dogs and puppies with challenging toys and puzzles; socialize animals by hanging out with them; and assist in training new volunteers and staff. I have also had the opportunity to work with animal behavior specialists to learn what causes certain types of behavior and what factors can prompt behavior change. I currently work full-time as a teacher. At this time, I'm only available for house sitting on weekends and holiday breaks. I can provide drop-in and walking services between 6:00am and 12:00pm on Saturday and Sunday mornings. I will have more availability during the months of June and July, as I do not teacher during the summer. I enjoy spending time with pets, whether we're exercising or relaxing. I have training and experience working with cats and dogs that need extra support due to medical needs. I can safely administer medications (pills, insulin shots) and I'm familiar with safe practices when caring for timid or anxious pets.

“She’s very kind respectful and responsible with my little ones. They like to walk and play with her Katy is the best. Doing her job”
