Pet Sitting West Elsdon

“Guillermina was great with my cats. She was able to visit everyday to feed, play and administer supplements. I recommend her for your visits.”

Daniel G.

“Gionna is absolutely fantastic! My rescue cat, who rarely comes out for anyone except me, followed Gionna around the house while she visited. I have to believe that means she’s a wonderful person!”

Shelby H.

“Me’lia was a godsend, when my original sitter had to cancel last minute. She was communicative and thoughtful, and was super accommodating. And both my cat and my dog loved her. Would recommend and would rebook her again!”

About: I’m sure all sitters say this but I genuinely have a seat for being with animals. Sometimes I prefer them over people and treat them like they’re my own. I love all of their personalities and quirks. Anywhere I go I ask to pet someone’s dog and respect what the dog’s body language is telling me. I have a Siberian husky so I have had to learn how to read body language and potential environmental stressors very well. I invest a generous amount of time into learning about dog breeds and am always opening to learning more! Currently, I am home for the holidays with plenty of time to care for your pets while you’re away! I have access to a car and am eager to work. Extensive experience with dogs, slightly less with cats but always open to caring! I love giving them constant stimulation and walks. Pets and treats are always given. I treat all dogs like they’re my own. I have an eye on them almost at all times.

“Danna was amazing. She took great care of our cats and sent plenty of pictures. We appreciate how reliable she is. While we only have cats, she also loves dogs. Would definitely recommend get to anyone in the area.”

“Luis is one of the sweetest and most helpful people around, and I feel so happy knowing my two cats are in such good care with him whenever I travel. They love him, and I get so happy when I see the daily pics from Luis of all of them together. When I come home, my girls barely notice me 😂 it’s very cute and we owe that all to Luis’s thoughtfulness and care!”

About: I grew up with cats and Golden Retrievers and now have 4 Boston Terriers and 2 new kittens, who are my whole world! I am also an approved dog-walker / caregiver for Chicago Animal Care and Control, trained in their strict techniques, so I am comfortable caring for, walking, and exhausting small to large dogs. Currently working part time, so have lots of time to dedicate to your pups! I am mostly available for walks during weekdays: Mon - Fri, 9a - 5p Happy to care for your pup where they are most comfortable, in your home! Even if you have a fully fenced yard, you can trust that I'll never leave them unsupervised and unleashed, outside. If you do not have a fenced yard, we will have lots of fun getting our steps in, around the neighborhood! Comfortable getting your pup in and out of crates/kennels if needed, and getting them harnessed up for walks. Will *always* pick up any and all poop your pup leaves, whether in your yard or on our walks.

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.

“I had such a great experience with my Lizbeth! She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. What really stood out was her flexibility—when my flight got canceled, she kindly agreed to take care of my cat an extra day. That meant so much to me and truly showed her dedication and professionalism. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”

About: What sets me apart is my 10+ years of experience caring for dogs and the genuine love and attention I give to every pet. I have a dog of my own named Lucy, a Beagle/Boston Terrier mix, and my siblings and I share the responsibility of feeding her, taking her on walks, keeping her active, and giving her plenty of love and affection. In the past when Lucy has been sick, I was responsible for taking her to the vet and giving her medication. I have also cared for several of my friends dogs while they are at work, including taking them on walks, feeding them, checking in on them, and spending quality time with them. I have experience being around both puppies and adult dogs and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I am reliable, patient, responsible, and committed to making sure every pet in my care is safe, comfortable, and well looked after. I will follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated so you can feel confident that your fur baby is in good hands while you're away. I am currently a part-time elementary school substitute teacher, so my schedule can vary from week to week. I typically receive my substitute assignments 1–2 weeks in advance, which allows me to plan ahead and know which days I will be available. On days when I am not substituting, I would love to dedicate my time to caring for your pets. I am generally available Monday through Friday from as early as 6 AM to 7 PM, depending on my school schedule. I’m hoping to make pet care a fun and rewarding side job while providing reliable, loving care for your furry family members. When caring for a pet in their home, I make sure to follow their normal routine and the instructions provided by their owner. I will make sure they have fresh food and water, take them for their scheduled walks or potty breaks, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I will also make sure their environment is safe and clean before I leave. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, habits, and specific needs. If they need medication or have any special instructions, I will carefully follow the owner's directions. I will also send updates and photos during my visit so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and being well cared for 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.

“Yesenia is amazing. This is our first time leaving our cat after we got her from the streets, so we're a bit reluctant, but Yesenia gave us updates every single time. We'll definitely ask Yesenia again next time”

“Tara is extraordinarily helpful. I needed someone to visit my cat short notice, and she was on her way to my house within a few minutes. Tara loves pets passionately and it shows in everything she does. She is tuned into cats and gives Jim Catsby so much attention in ways that he enjoys—petting, brushing, etc. Awesome! 10 stars!”

About: I am a dog mom of 2. I have been caring for my oldest dog for about 9 years now. I trained my two dogs on my own. I am currently working from home, so my work schedule is extremely flexible. I am available in the afternoon and evenings to go on dog walks. There are a lot of nearby parks in my area. I like to be in nature so I do on long walks daily, and would love to have a furry companion with me.

About: I have taken care of family pets my whole life, no pets are allowed in my household so I have taken every opportunity to interact with and care for animals outside of my home. I make sure to keep up with their needs while also providing them an enjoyable environment! I work from home so I am able to relocate wherever there is WiFi connection, the work isn’t too demanding so I am able to care for pets immediately. I work 8:00 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday and have 24/7 availability! I have an hour lunch break and am also available anytime after work and on weekends! I cannot have animals in my home so being in a clients home is best for me. I adhere to all instruction given by owners and follow the schedules set for the animal. I am open to entertaining and watching after the animal at all hours!

About: I have been a dog parent for the last 10 years. I have experience with dogs with disabilities (my two dogs have 3 legs) and leash-reactive furbabies. As a sitter, I have taken care of all kinds of dogs but prefer a nice temperament if a dog comes to my home so he or she can get along with my own dogs. I am knowledgeable of dog training techniques and are observant of dog behaviors.

“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.”

About: I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages, including several puppies in training. I’m currently the owner of a senior pup with hearing loss who I’m teaching sign language. I also have experience caring for rabbits, hamsters, fish, and plants. I’m a part-time student and part-time worker so I fit pet care easily in between short obligations. The flexibility of pet care is perfect for my atypical schedule. I love meeting new animals and do so with caution and respect. I appreciate the way different critters set boundaries and I create safe, predictable environments so that animals feel comfortable around me.

About: I recently had a 90lb black lab, I went through the puppy stages with him up until he was 4 years old. We took a couple of puppy training classes where we learned the importance of crate training, walking on a leash, and proper etiquette. I dogsit and overnight sit my friends puppies - Labrador doodle, and pitbull mix when she’s out of town and my mother’s two chihuahuas. I am currently a full time work from home professional and will have time to play with your pups in the early mornings, during my lunch break and evenings. I am available for boarding on the weekends and during the weekdays after 5:30 pm or I can stay in your home if you allow me to use your wifi and a “quiet” place to work alongside your pup. When I care for your pets in your home, I will make sure to provide them with a safe space. I would prefer that you have a fenced in yard if you would like me to take them out in your yard for potty or playing. If not, then I would take them out on a leash to use the potty. I will provide lots of cuddles and belly rubs. I understand dogs boundaries as well and will give them space if needed.

About: I have 2 small cavapoo dogs I have more than 14 years experience of taking care of my 2 dogs and my in laws dogs. We play, go for walks and feed them every day! I currently have a part time job so I have plenty of time to care for your dog. I love meeting new furry friends! I will take care of your dog as if they were my own. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs and can easily crate your dog. I love talking them for walks and playing games. Some dogs even like watching movies with me.
