Dog Sitting Stickney

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for over 15 years through my own pets and helping care for family and friend’s animals. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and keeping pets on their routines. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love animals, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is fairly flexible and I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. My availability may change as my work schedule changes, but I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and make sure I can commit to the care I agree to provide. I’m happy to work around my schedule when possible and I’m especially flexible on days I’m not working. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, make sure they’re safe and comfortable, and keep their environment clean and secure. I’m respectful of your space and will always be responsible, attentive, and communicative while you’re away.

“I would love to say that Ethel is the only sitter I have tried, and I am honestly never going to try another person. My cat is always well taken care of when I am gone. Ethel communicated with me everyday and always has. Thank you!”

“Reshunda was responsive and timely. My pet can be timid at times but Reshunda made sure had eyes on her and that she was safe before ending the visit.”

Fabiola A.

“She came through for me and my babies in a crunch and I’m so grateful. I loved the photos and how well she communicated. She was there when she said she’d be and tried to do everything I asked! I’m sure I’ll use Abbi again.”

Janée T.

“After having to have an emergency scheduling Stephanie was absolutely fantastic, she was quick to reply, communicative, respectful and very kind. She gave us constant updates on our cat Freyja along with photos. We would happily use her services again.”

About: Hi, I’m Jhadira! 👋 I recently experienced a layoff from my corporate HR career, so I’m taking this opportunity to spend my time doing something I truly love, caring for dogs! I’m located in the La Grange area and have a large, fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe, supervised playtime. I share my home with my two spoiled pups, Charlie and August, and I also help care for my family’s senior dog, Tony. Caring for dogs through every stage of life has taught me that each one has their own personality, routine, and unique needs. I have over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. My experience includes potty training puppies, working with high-maintenance dogs, caring for puppies undergoing treatment for intestinal worms and other temporary medical needs, administering oral medications, basic obedience training for both puppies and older dogs, walking and running with active dogs, and providing extra patience and specialized care for senior dogs. Whether your dog is full of energy, needs a little extra attention, or enjoys a slower pace, I’m happy to tailor my care to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’m also training for a half-marathon myself so if your dog needs that outdoor exercise I would gladly love the company on my runs! As a dog mom myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. That’s why I treat every dog as if they were my own. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my highest priorities. I’ll follow your dog’s routine closely, provide regular photo and video updates, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and enrichment while you’re away. Over the years, I’ve also built relationships with wonderful local pet professionals. If you ever need recommendations, I’m happy to share trusted groomers and veterinarians that I’ve had great experiences with. Whether your pup loves long walks, backyard zoomies, playing fetch, learning new tricks, or curling up for a nap, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! Open schedule, I have my own two dogs I look after but have all day to drop in for a walk or to check in on yours! I have a tight schedule with my own dogs and will make sure to make your fur baby feel as safe and loved as if they were home.

About: I’ve been able to work with animals in general and all across Chicago land and the metropolitan area. I’m looking forward to meeting your fur baby! Currently Im available in the day to do drop ins, and walks. I’am also available for sittings in the oak park village and downtown Chicago area. Please reach out and I will give a reply as soon as possible. I’am very attentive and observing. The best interest is the care of your pet. I also have my own so I will look after them just as if they were my own. I uphold the expectations of the pet parent to a high standard to give the best experience.

About: I have had and taken care of pets my entire life. I grew up in a rural area, so am comfortable with all sorts of animals, from dogs and cats to livestock, chickens, or even lizards! I am comfortable caring for, walking, administering medications, and wound management for any type of dog or cat. I am currently studying for a medical school exam, so my schedule is flexible and play dates with animals are my favorite type of study break! I do not offer boarding but I am available for walks, drop-ins, and overnights. While I do not provide care in my home, I am comfortable following any safety guidelines that you request I use in your home or while out walking your pet.

About: I have had dogs ever since I was a kid, I had a high energy yellow lab before and now I have 2 pitbull mixes and one of them is deaf. I use to volunteer at PAWS Chicago a few years ago, so I have been trained with reading a dog’s body language, deescalation tactics, and dog safety measures! I currently am focusing on my education which is fully remote via online. So, my schedule is open unless otherwise stated in the calendar. You let me know what your beloved pet schedule is and I will include them into my schedule if I am not already booked. I have had my previous dog rusty since he was a puppy, so I have had first-hand experience with potting training, teaching them how to sit and stay, and have experience with high-energy dogs. I now have 2 pitbulls / mixed breeds. One since a puppy and the other since 2025 when she found us and ran at me from a alleyway. The alleyway dog "Joy" is deaf, so my experience includes dogs with little to no hearing. I will take your dog out on walks and give them all the pets and attention they want. If they want to play fetch outside, I will do that at a local dog park or in the yard, whatever you are most comfortable with.

“Kathryn is amazing. She came in to check on my kitty twice while I was on vacation and really went out of her way to make sure my baby was okay.”

Shania D.

“Malcomn took such great care of my cat, Kashi. He was very communicative and sent updates and photos everyday which I thoroughly appreciated. Kashi and I are so grateful for Malcomn’s service!”

About: Hi, I’m Jeff! I’ve been walking dogs since I was 13 and caring for big dogs since I was 22. After my family’s beloved big dog passed, I realized how much I missed having pups in my life, which led me to start walking and sitting dogs for others. Every dog I walk becomes like a brother or sister to me. I have three years of professional experience and a deep knowledge of the Oak Park area, ensuring safe, fun, and enriching walks. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs in real time, and I provide clear, timely updates so you know how your pup is doing, including any potential needs I notice. Whether it’s dog walking, sitting, or check-ins, your dog will be cared for with love, respect, and clear communication. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and giving them the care they deserve! I’m currently working part time, and have a few pups already on my schedule. I am available for early day walks (7:00am - 9:30am) all week, and Sunday from noon - 2:30pm. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I only provide care at your home, ensuring your pup stays in their familiar environment where they feel secure and relaxed. Before I leave each visit, I make sure your dog is calm, has fresh water, and is settled. I double-check that all doors are locked, leashes and supplies are put away properly, and your home is secure. You can trust that your dog is safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away.

About: I am trained as a Certified Veterinary Technician that has given me the skills and knowledge to provide safe, attentive care. I’m better equipped to recognize potential health concerns, handle unexpected situations, and know when a pet may need veterinary attention. I truly love caring for animals and meeting new pets, taking the time to learn their unique personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I currently work part-time at a veterinary clinic four days a week. Your pet must be okay with being alone during normal work hours, but otherwise I can provide plenty of companionship, care, and attention. I do not offer boarding in my home, but I am happy to provide house sitting in your home. I will treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own, leaving everything just as I found it.

“Yanjun was very kind with my cat and very communicated with me, she acted very professional and lovely with the cat.”

“Ella is the best sitter we could of picked for Bambam. We were a little nervous since it was the first time we booked with rover. Definitely a right choice with Ella. She’s such a caring and loving person. She went above and beyond for Bambam. I’m sure Bambam will miss her.”

About: I have 12 years of hands-on experience caring for my own Chihuahua mix, along with experience caring for pets in family homes while babysitting. I adapt to each pet’s personality, whether that means active engagement or giving them space, while ensuring they feel safe, calm, and well cared for at all times. My background as a teacher’s assistant and current work in healthcare with older adults has strengthened my reliability, patience, and attention to detail. I provide calm, consistent, and attentive care for every pet. I am a fully remote worker and can work from anywhere with a quiet space. I work a daytime healthcare role Monday–Friday (9–5) and a talent agency role evenings and weekends. My work sessions are typically 2–4 hours, allowing for flexible availability and plenty of downtime for pet care. My philosophy is to leave every home better than I found it. I treat each client’s home with respect, secure it properly, allow no visitors, and prioritize the pet’s full care needs—food, water, walks, and medical attention if needed. I’m easy to communicate with and always open to house rules, questions, or concerns.
