Dog Sitting West Chicago

“Sandra was great. She was especially good with our dog Ollie who is a rescue with trust issues. She took her time with him and was very gentle. By the end of the visit he was sitting right beside her wanting attention. She is very experienced with dogs and it shows.”

About: Hello, and welcome to my service page. I have been taking care of all different kinds of pets for a a long time, from your average cats and dogs to bearded dragons and birds. I know that all pets no matter how big or small are family and I would love the opportunity to make your life easier by provided exceptional love and care to your babies. I am currently helping my family with some health issues therefore my schedule is pretty accommodating. All I need is at least a one day advanced notice for any fur-baby sitting. I do have dog training experience as well as grooming and cats love me. As an added bonus I take picture of your fur-babies daily just to put your mind at ease. No one wants to be worried about their babies while they are trying to get work done or enjoy there vacation Looking forward to being your fur-baby sitting solution And thank you in advance for choosing me with this very important job

About: As a firefighter, my entire career is built on safety, reliability, and handling high-stress situations with a calm, focused mind. I bring that exact same dedication to pet care. Whether your dog needs a high-energy workout, your cat prefers a quiet companion, or your pet requires strict medication schedules, you can rest easy knowing they are in highly capable hands. I have experience with our furry friends ranging from puppies with enough energy to power our houses to our senior dogs that need very specific special care instructions throughout the day. Whatever is needed to be provided throughout the day to your family, it will be delivered as if they were my own. Due to my firefighter shift schedule I typically have entire, unbroken days where I am 100% available to dedicate my time and energy to your furry family members. When not on shift there is nothing more I look forward to then spending time with animals. My profession requires a clean background, absolute integrity, and a high level of public trust. You can feel completely secure letting me into your home to care for your furry family members. I treat every member as if they were my own family, ensuring they get plenty of affection, exercise, and routine care no matter how meticulous. Being a professionally trained emergency responder any unexpected situation that arises you can have confidence will be handled in a calm and efficient manner.

“Pets were well taken care of. He shared pictures (but I did not receive the written reports the sitters usually share after every visit). He helped as possible with cleaning poop/throw up my puppy left around the house. Quick to reply to my text messages.”

“Shelly is great with our dog and on time. We love having her at our home.”

“We were very happy with Sandra taking care of our pet. She was a perfect, kind and efficient pet sitter. I highly recommend Sandra. While away from our fur baby, we felt very comfortable knowing he was being lovingly cared for by Sandra.”

“I have two orange tabbies who are set up on an automatic feeder and automatic litter box, so the hardest part about being away from them is finding someone who can play with them and give them food as a treat. I hired Hannah as a cat sitter and she pleasantly exceeded my expectations. Hannah is beyond amazing. She got both of my cats to play with her by figuring out the weird things they each like to do — one is driven by random sounds and the other is a fetcher. Best part was when I walked in, they both appeared to be in a good mood, whereas normally they look stressed after I’ve been away. That’s my measure of how well they were played with. Highly recommend Hannah for cats who need more than just a check-in.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”

We have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes—from puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace, and from small breeds to large dogs. With two of us, your dog gets extra attention, supervision, and affection. We’re happy to accommodate routines, walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of cuddles.

We are always busy with our own two dogs and cat, and someone is always home for food and bathroom breaks. We love having dogs hangout with us or let them do their own thing. Our yard is now fully fenced too so we can spend as much or little time outside as they prefer We have two dogs of our own who love to enjoy the big yard and taking up space on the couch- your doggo will be welcome to do the same. Your dog will not be bored with us!

“Jessica and Luis are ah-mazing!! I reached it to them on short notice and they were still willing to meet with me and car for my 2 cats while I visited some friends for the weekend. It was my first time using a pet sitter so I was a little nervous but they made me feel at ease leaving Smokey and Pippa for a few days. They sent pictures and texted updates after each visit. Highly recommend them and will not hesitate to book with them again!”

“You can tell Melissa cares about your pup’s experience. Nena loved her right off the bat. I’d highly recommend Melissa to anyone who wants to keep their pup happy! ?❤️”

About: I’ve had four dogs in my entire life: a yellow lab, a husky, a german shepherd, and a pitbull! I loved them all so much. My current dog is my 11 year old pitbull, and I love him to pieces. We’ve gotten all our dogs from a young age and because of this I’ve learned how to train puppies. All breeds are different and they all have different personalities, but training mostly stays the same, consistency is key when it comes to training. When I had my german shepherd puppy, I went to a professional trainer and he basically taught me how to train my dog. I loved training my gsd, he was an excellent listener and was highly intelligent! Aside from training, i like to go on walks myself, so i enjoy walking my dog. I love to play with them and keep them busy. I’m an observer too, so if anything is wrong with my dog, I’m usually the first one to notice. I’m patient with dogs, and I always make sure they’re doing okay (and not eating something they’re not supposed to). Dogs are precious animals and I consider them a member of your family, I will respect them as such. I currently work 4 days out of the week, so I’ll be available any time during my off days! That will be Monday, Thursday, and Sunday. Sometimes I’m available Saturday’s after 4pm, just ask! Your dog(s) and I can play outside if you have a fenced yard, otherwise I can stay inside and keep them company for a little after our walk. I’ll mostly do what you ask of me. I’ll keep them leashed during our walks, and probably away from other dogs during our walk to avoid any type of negative interactions.

About: I volunteer at the Anderson Human Society doing doggy days out, and have years of experience pet sitting dogs and cats. I have my own senior cat that i’ve raised for 13 years! Currently I generally work full time mornings and have time in the afternoon evenings for walks and play time! Days off are open for as much time as needed! I have experience with dogs who are boarded during alone time! With the experience of working with shelter dogs, i’ve learned patience works wonders!

“Madeline was awesome. Checked in and took care of my crazy boxers while I was at a concert. She was a life saver”

“Rosa was so wonderful with our dog. She walked him, played with him and made sure he was well fed, happy and safe. She communicated with us during or after each visit and even sent pictures of him having fun which gave us great peace of mind knowing he was being well cared for while we were away. I highly recommend her!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, so I tailor walks, playtime, and care to meet their individual needs. Whether your pet loves adventures, belly rubs, or a quiet companion, I provide dependable, attentive care that helps them feel safe and happy while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind and your pet a fun, loving experience filled with plenty of attention and affection. *** Available after 3:30 pm during the week/open on weekends and holidays *** As a high school teacher, I have a reliable schedule and enjoy spending my free time caring for animals. During the school year, I am available after school, evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. In the summer, I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight care. This flexibility allows me to provide pets with the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and secure environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home while you're away. With years of experience caring for animals, you can trust that your furry family member will receive attentive care, plenty of affection, and close supervision.

About: After growing up with pet dogs throughout my life, I became the go-to pet sitter for our neighbors/friends/family members when they headed out of town. I currently have my own gentleman giant and volunteer/foster for his rescue! There's almost nothing I haven't seen when it comes to dogs quirky behaviors, but try me! Mi casa es sus casa! I am just starting with the rover platform, so availability is open & I'm willing to discuss anything within reason. In my home pets are taken for frequent walks, and during nice weather we hang out on the patio. In other homes it would depend what you are comfortable with and what the pup is used to!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of different ages and personalities and always take the time to learn what makes each one feel comfortable. I love going on walks, playing and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention while their owners are away. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, treats, medications and any special routines or instructions you may have. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and send plenty of pictures and updates along the way! My weekday availability is primarily in the early mornings and evenings, making me a great fit for before work and evening visits. I’m also available on weekends with more flexibility throughout the day and will always do my best to work with your pet’s usual routine. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. During each visit, I can handle feeding, fresh water, medications or supplements, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, walks and plenty of playtime and attention. I’m careful about securely closing doors and gates, and I’ll send pictures and updates after each visit so you know how your pet is doing.

“This was my first time using “Rover” and chose Chelsie after reading her numerous positive reviews. This was a last minute decision and I had Chelsie meet with our daughter at our house since my wife and I were out of state. Chelsie was local and met with our daughter to meet our dogs. Chelsie came over to house for three separate days for 30 mins each day. Chelsie would upload photos and give daily progress reports and upload to the “Rover” for our review. This brought comfort to us and had complete confidence our dogs were in great hands. Chelsie went above and beyond.. We definitely will use Chelsie’s service again in the future. Highly recommend!!”
