House Sitting in Washington Heights, Chicago

“Alexa did a wonderful job taking care of our dog in our home over a long holiday weekend. She was communicative, made sure Beau got his walks and play time, left our home clean and our dog happy. She followed our instructions on everything and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. We hope our dog wasn’t too crazy for her, but we would gladly welcome her back! So grateful we found Alexa.”

“Elizabeth was so great! We were able to meet before the house sitting and went over the specifics of my dog. She gave me daily updates and let me know he was doing well which I really appreciated!! I would definitely book again ?”

“Belicia is the absolute best. We were gone for two weeks for our wedding abroad and were so busy that we barely had time to check in the way we normally would. Yet, Belicia made a daily effort to give us the loveliest updates about her time with our girl, giving us total peace of mind.”

“Jayden was an extremely reliable sitter. They were very willing to meet us before booking. Jayden was great about providing us with frequent updates on our pets.”

“It was our first time getting a sitter to stay in our home and care for our 3 dogs for 2 days and Kathryn did not dissapoint. She was very attentive, sweet, patient, and understood all the directions on what to do for our 3 fur babies since they all have different eating habits and personalities. She made sure she texted me throughout her stay if she had any questions and sent us plenty of pics to keep us updated. She was very respectful of our home too. Her price is completely reasonable and I felt like the kids were in good hands with her. I would ask for her help again in the future and I definitely recommend.”

“She was great!!! Took care of copper like we would!!! Will definitely use her again”

“Shiri was awesome to accept a relatively last minute booking at a good rate, and was communicative and professional throughout her stay. I returned to my home exactly how I had left it for her which I appreciated as well. She was understanding and kind when problems arose which meant a lot for me given my dog is of old age and caring for him can be quite involved. Thanks Shiri!”

“Shakira is amazing! I feel like she's part of the family. She did an amazing job looking after my Maltipoo, Dash! She sent plenty of pictures and videos throughout the day. I really appreciate the way she made both me and Dash feel comfortable. Before she left, I had already booked her for another sitting for Dash. She's the best!”

“Kimberly did a great job dog sitting for Cami at my house while I was out of town. She was in touch to tell me when she was coming and going, as well as sent photos. Cami seemed happy and well fed when I returned home, so overall I was pleased with the experience.”

“I have one wire fox terrier and one boxer (he's 100 pounds) and crystal stayed with them an entire month and everyday I got pictures, updates, and so my babies having a GREAT TIME! Crystal also took care of my plants, house dusting, and brought in all my mail. It pained me when I moved from the city, because after six months I have not been able to find someone as good as Crystal. You can 100% trust her with your fur babies!!”

About: Greetings & thank you for stopping by! I’m Paige! I work for Rover because why not get paid to do what I LOVE!!!! I had a Maltese/Shitzu and I loved our 12 years of time together, as well as 2 exotic bunnies for 3 amazing years. I’ve grown from being afraid of animals to loving them so much. Large doggos make me feel protected. Small pups make me feel like a protector. And cats are so interesting and enjoyable. I will care for and protect each pet and treat them with respect and love, forever. I love awarding with treats, rubs, and best of all, hugs 🤗 Long and fun walks are the best. I love dogs so much that I'll take yours into my home to care for! If this isn't love, I'm not sure what is ❤️ I’ve enjoyed my experience with Rover thus far. Thank you for allowing me to care for your Babies! I create my own work schedule so I’m able to be flexible with bookings and give more of my time to the fur babies if needed! I treat animals like they are my own human babies, so they are always safe with me, I enjoy house sittings because the pets are always more comfortable which makes me happy and the sitting a smooth one.

“Kathryne was great! Gave regular updates and made the process super easy. Definitely using again!”

“Sara did a great job taking care of our pups while we were out of town! Shes great at communicating and we came home to two happy dogs!”

“Elizabeth took amazing care of my furry friend. She was punctual, communicative, & responsible. I have used Elizabeth’s services on & off now for about 3 years & I cannot recommend her enough. My dog is a bit reactive, but she handles him with love and care each and every time. Thanks for everything Elizabeth!”
