Dog Sitting Sugar Grove

About: I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, and I always follow routines and instructions closely. I am currently at home for the summer from college and pet care fits easily into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day! I care for pets by following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning up after them. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for whether I’m in my home or my client’s home, and I always respect specific instructions provided by the owner.

“My 15 year old pup,Trevor,was comfortable and well taken care of during Erika’s two drop in visits on the same day. I booked kinda last minute but Erika was able to come take care of Trevor exactly when he needed to be let out and visited. I appreciated the detailed visit notes and many photos Erika took of Trevor. I highly recommend Erika for doggy care and hope to be able to have her come help with Trevor’s care in future. Thank you!”

About: I started dog sittng in college for my professors and quickly grew to love it. I've gained experience walking, feeding, and caring for dogs, and I bring these skills to my own pets as well. I'm excited to provide the same care and attention to your dog while you're away. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible and I can accomodate your need. I also offer pickup and drop-off services for a small fee. I have a fenced yard providing a secured space for your dog to play and relax. I also have a senior male Australian Shedperd who loves to play with other dogs, so your pet will have a friendly companion during the stay.

“Megan is a huge help for anyone who wants the peace of mind of knowing their dog is in caring hands! She went above and beyond and will definitely be my go-to dogsitter”

“Samantha did a great job of taking care of our almost 11 year old Zeus! We had some drop in visits and Samantha sent us notes and photos of her time with Zeus. We were very happy and highly recommend.”

About: I've been caring for animals for over 12 years, starting with my own dog, Lola. Since both of my parents worked, I was often responsible for feeding her, taking her on walks, playing with her, and making sure she was well cared for. That experience taught me responsibility from a young age and helped me develop a genuine love for animals. Since then, I've cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors, including dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I am currently home for the summer, which means my availability is very flexible and I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. Once summer ends, I will be continuing my pilot training and taking online courses through Lewis University. Even then, my schedule will remain flexible, allowing me to continue providing reliable and attentive care for your pets. I have a fenced yard and one dog of my own, Phoebe, who is incredibly friendly and loves being around other dogs. She can play all day long and does a great job helping other dogs feel comfortable in a new environment! If your pet will be staying in my home, I would be more than happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand so they can get to know Phoebe and make sure everyone is a good fit. Your pet's safety and well being are always my top priorities, and I will follow any routines or instructions you provide to help them feel right at home!

“Mary was fantastic! Had to deal with one of our dopes getting himself into a real situation and I really appreciated all her efforts to make sure he was safe. Absolutely would use her again. Felt comfortable with my 3 big dogs which made me feel comfortable being away. Highly recommend!!”

“Shelley was great! She kept me updated and my pup likes her. Definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve cared for and trained my own dogs, mostly focusing on basic obedience like sit, stay, lay down, speak, crate training, and name recall. I use positive reinforcement and food motivation, and I try to stay consistent with routines so pets understand what’s expected. I’m comfortable with daily care like feeding, walking, potty breaks, and keeping pets on a schedule. I’m patient and focused on making sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time, so I’m available for house sitting on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. During those days, I have plenty of time to stick to your pet’s routine, that means feeding, walks, playtime, etc. Im often available after work as well to provide any small quick services like walks! I follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and routines. I make sure pets get consistent attention, exercise, and companionship so they don’t feel stressed or alone while their owner is away. I also treat the client’s home with respect, keeping it clean and secure, and making sure everything is left as it was when I arrived. My goal is to create a calm, reliable environment where both the pet and the owner feel at ease.

About: Hello, I’m Ayla and I am 19! I am passionate about caring for your pets like they are my own. My whole life I have always had multiple pets. Dogs, reptiles, and fish are just a few! I currently have one dog and a bearded dragon, as my childhood dog recently passed away. He was 16 years old, so I have experience caring for senior pets! I love all pets I meet and their owners can agree with that. I have petsit for neighbors, family members, friends, coworkers, and even old teachers. If there is any situation in which help is needed I will be there. I will treat your dogs with respect and all the love I can give. Regarding my availability, I work during the week in the morning into the early afternoon. However, if your pets need mid-afternoon or evening walks + care I am definitely here to help. My weekends are completely free a majority of the time to hang out with your pups! I am super flexible and able to accommodate as long as you communicate with me:) I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your dogs! During the week I should be available any time after 3 pm. On the weekends, I should be available at anytime. I will always keep my availability updated to ensure that I can fulfill your needs. I will not be offering boarding for your dogs in my home. However, I will be sure to be respectful to your homes when caring for your pets. I will never leave any dogs unsupervised because I know how sneaky they can be😂 I will always keep doors and gates closed to ensure your dog’s safety in my care.

“Anja and Josh provided top quality and loving care to my cat Jade while I traveled to Europe for 7 days. If you want mature and reliable service, Anja and Josh are the choice for you!”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life! I have experience with dog sitting and dog walking! Always excited to meet a new puppy! I am free all afternoons! But if needed in the morning or evening let me know! I’m always willing to negotiate a schedule to whatever is easiest for you! Unfortunately I am in an apartment so I will not be able to pet sit at my home, but whenever your pet needs to go outside I will keep an eye on them (especially if there is no fence)! I am able to lead a pet into a crate if needed. If there is anything else you would like me to do while with your pet let me know!

“Cynthia is a real find! We were very anxious about leaving our senior cat, Stephan, but from the very first moment, we knew he was in safe hands. Cynthia was incredibly gentle and attentive to his needs as an older cat. We received regular photo updates and check-ins, which kept us completely at ease. Stephan was calm and content when we returned, and our home was left in perfect order. We will definitely be booking with Cynthia again!”

About: I've been taking care of neighbors' pets since before I remember. I'm patient and also love to play. Whatever your pets need I'm here to serve! I am currently part time at my farm job. My schedule is relatively flexible. No blackout days or dates in my schedule. Moved to Aurora suburbs but still available for sitting jobs in Chicago I will ask for their typical schedule for walks and eating. I only pet sit in your home to try and keep the dog/ cats better adjusted to your absence. We don't want to have them feeling too anxious!

About: I'm a country girl from Illinois who's been around animals my whole life. From horses and fish to cats and dogs, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I previously worked as a Kennel and Daycare Attendant at an animal hospital, and I've spent years pet sitting for family, friends, and clients. I've grown up with all kinds of dogs, from German Shepherds to lovable mixed breeds. Animals have always been my passion, and I treat every pet like they're my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, giving you peace of mind knowing they're in caring hands. I primarily offer overnight house and pet sitting from Friday evening through Sunday evening. Depending on my work schedule, I may also have availability during the week, so feel free to reach out! I also offer weekday drop-in visits between 10:00 AM and 7:30 PM when my schedule allows. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Your pets will be treated like they're my own! I'll make sure they're well cared for with fresh food and water, walks (weather permitting), lots of love, playtime, and plenty of attention. I'll also make sure your home stays safe and secure by locking all doors and windows whenever I leave. My goal is for you to relax knowing your pets and home are in good hands.

“Jaime was a wonderful sitter. She dropped in to our home for our 3 dogs for 3 days. One is an elderly dog and the other two are high energy dogs. Jaime stayed as long as necessary (longer than requested) to ensure the dogs were properly cared for. She was on time and very communicative. I highly recommend Jaime to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! Thanks Jaime!”
