Dog Sitting in Sugar Grove

“Mars is a living and caring dog sitter. I actually knew her as a young adult at my school that I teach at. She is responsible and hard working and truly cares for her animals she is caring for. I completely trust her in our home and with our dog.”

About: Been a caretaker of everyone all my life 🤭 and my household has always has pets, especially dogs but also cats, bunnies, birds so I’m equipped for just about anything plus I love to have fun! I currently work from home for my clothing business so I make my own hours making me ready and available whenever you need me so don’t hesitate for same day appointments. My history with pets, attentive nature and patience will enable me to meet your pet wherever they are with training and enhance your pet’s behavior skills no problem.

About: I have grown up always have dogs and cats in my house. I am currently a college student and missed having pets so much that I had to get my own dog! I am currently unemployed so this would be my only responsibility. I am enrolled in 1 summer class but it is being delivered remote so I can do it from anywhere with a stable WiFi connection I have a fenced in backyard and a playful puppy myself. I can easily follow any instruction you have or rules you have put in place for your pets!

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care, patience, and attention I give every pet. I’ve been around dogs and helping care for them since I was 10, which has given me experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I also currently have a one-year-old puppy of my own, so I’m very familiar with energetic dogs, maintaining routines, reinforcing good behavior, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I understand how important consistency and trust are when caring for someone’s pet, and I always make sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether they’re playful and active or prefer a calmer environment. Pet parents can expect reliable communication, regular updates, and lots of photos for peace of mind. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I’m currently in grad school and work for a local school district, which means I have summers off and additional flexibility throughout the year. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends, and I do my best to accommodate different routines and last-minute needs when possible. Because I have a one-year-old puppy of my own, I’m already used to maintaining consistent feeding, potty, exercise, and play schedules, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve while their owners are away. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they can feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay on their normal schedule with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m respectful of each home and always keep pet areas clean, secure, and safe. Because I have a one-year-old puppy of my own, I’m very mindful about supervision, consistency, and creating a positive environment for animals. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Erin is amazing!!! She was able to help out when we had a last minute family emergency pop up. She is great about communicating and sends photos and updates. She even plays with our dogs (even loved on our kitty who was not part of the drop in). 10/10!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs for over a year. Friends and family always come home to a happy pooch! I'll also ensure your fur babys wellbeing by providing appropriate food and water. Caring for pets is part of my daily routine, not just a side task. I am available full-time during the week to ensure your fur baby receives dependable, loving, and structured care. I have a fenced yard were your fur baby can run and play. If your fur baby needs assistance with medication you can ensure I will be there to make sure their medication is taken on time.

“Cassie was super sweet and patient with our 14 year old and 2 year old pups.”

About: I have over two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, providing compassionate, reliable care for pets of all temperaments and needs. I can assist with daily care such as walking, feeding, playtime, grooming, and cleaning, as well as advanced medical care including administering medications (pill, liquid, and injectable), feeding tube support, and subcutaneous fluids. I also previously volunteered at a humane society, where I helped socialize, feed, and care for adoptable pets. I’ve worked with everything from anxious dogs to “spicy” cats and always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a lifelong animal lover, I have been caring for pets since I was young and currently have four cats of my own—Zora, Mara, Fae, and Jinx. Caring for my own pets has strengthened my understanding of the patience, attention, and trust that pet parents value most. I would love the opportunity to provide that same level of care and compassion for your furry family members. I currently work full-time as a veterinary assistant, but I always make time to provide attentive care for your furry family members. I am typically available 4–6 days per week and keep my schedule updated regularly. If you have any specific requests or scheduling needs, feel free to message me directly—I’m happy to accommodate whenever possible! I will care for your furbabies with kindness, respect, and attention to their individual needs. I work closely with pet parents to understand each pet’s temperament, routines, and boundaries while providing a safe, stimulating, and comfortable environment. I also keep homes clean, monitor pets during walks and visits, and communicate any concerns or unusual behavior to ensure the best possible care and a trusting relationship with every client.

“Alexandra was amazing with our dog. She gave so many updates, was responsive to all of my messages, and made me feel so comfortable leaving Max at home where he prefers to be. We will definitely rebook Alexandra the next time we need a dog sitter.”

“Amy is wonderful with our cats and they seem very comfortable with her. She always spends time playing with them. And she always seems to get the best photos of them, too! I've got some great shots! My babies are family, and we consider Amy part of the family, too!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life; big medium small. I have always been able to create connections with furry friends by giving them lots of love and attention. I’m very attentive when it comes to taking care of senior dogs and their needs. As well as being just as playful as puppies are. I’m currently on summer break before I go to college to become a pediatrician. This being said, my schedule is very available for a long while! For my dog at home, I treat her like family! I walk her daily, feed her twice a day, and give her snuggles and lots of love. I take her outside in the backyard about every hour in the fenced in backyard and she’ll run around and go nuts chasing her ball, and running after rabbits.

“Very friendly and responsive, Trooper also really liked him.”

“We have never had anyone watch our dogs besides family before Grace. The pups loved going on a walk with her and then again when she came to let them out and spend some time with them. She follows all the instructions we leave and went above and beyond to make sure everything was locked up and waited outside until we were able to arm our systems. We are happy to have someone we can trust when we go out of town now!”

Ashley P.

“Josh let us know when he was stopping by and gave us great updates so we knew our furry babies were happy and loved. We're pretty sure our more social cat is even sad that Josh hasn't stopped by again now that we are home. He always came out to greet Josh and appreciated all the love he got from him. He cleaned out the cat litter, made sure our cats had plenty of food and water in the auto feeders and gave them lots of love. We'll definitely be using Josh and Anja again other times we need pet sitters.”

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!

“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”

Matt K.

“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!”

“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!”

“Karen was great with my pup, would rebook!!”

About: I have 3 large dogs in my household, all of very different personalities. On top of that, friends and family have also relied on me to take care of their pets while they are away as well. Recently, I have taken interest in animal rescue, and have helped rescue and send an injured mallard to the Chicago Bird Collision Monitors. I am currently a student at west aurora highschool, and I am a member of the national honor society. I come home to my three dogs and sometimes go to Oswego to take care of my families pets over there as well. I will be able to regularly check up on your pets and keep them well hydrated and fed. As well as going on walks to stay active.
