Pet Sitting West Elsdon

About: I have been a dog parent for the last 13 years. I have experience with dogs with disabilities (I live with a three-legged baby, Mabel) 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. I work from phone so your dog will rarely be alone. They will have consistent use of the yard throughout the day (under my supervision, never alone) and will have playmates in my two female dogs, Iris and Mabel (both very playful, mid-energy, mild temperament, zero dog/toy/foodnaggression, spayed, up-to-date on all vaccines). I work remotely so I am usually home. My two dogs are super friendly and love to play. I am also able to separate dogs if needed with dog gates while still allowing for all dogs to be comfortable! I love dogs so it is very important to me to provide everything they need while their parents are away. I live with two dogs myself and they are my life, and I will treat your dog in the same way. As a dog mom who has used sitters in the past, I understand the importance of respecting my client's home and only spend time on site as needed to take care of your angel. My goal is to be the person I would trust to take care of my own doggies (and my expectations of sitters are *pretty* high). Lastly, I am very detailed in following rules and care instructions, no matter how irrational your friends tell you they are. My care instructions for my own dogs is 4 pages long; I understand. Please note that the only caveat to the above is if any rules are abusive toward your dog (shock collars, prong collars, hitting, pushing, choking, underfeeding, other); I will not accept the booking.

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.

Pet care is something I’m truly passionate about and I promise to care for your pet as if it were my own. I have a mile long walking trail along my apartment property and a fenced in dog park on property. I can easily crate your dog if necessary and have a crate large enough for a Great Dane. I will happily abide by your instructions as you know your pet best!

“I couldn't be more grateful for Tina. From the moment Zelda met her, she was instantly comfortable and at ease, which immediately removed any concerns I had about leaving her. Tina provided wonderful care and true peace of mind. I can't recommend her enough!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13, mainly my own, but I’ve also taken care of friend’s and family friend’s dogs in these past 3 years, so I understand the anxiety or fear of leaving a part of your family in the care of someone that isn’t you and won’t treat your pet like you will. That’s why I always adjust and accommodate my services to every pet’s needs. When it comes to basic care of pets, I always take puppies and dogs on walks at whichever time of day that they need to go out, always making sure to bring snacks and water so they always stay hydrated and healthy. I make sure they have enough playtime inside and outside so they don’t get bored and are entertained. I understand that not every dog wants to play or can’t move too much, so I of course adjust these activities to accommodate every pet’s individual needs so they’re always comfortable and happy. I also have experience with senior care, specifically giving dogs the medicines they need at the intended hours of the day or night. It goes without saying that my main priority are the pets in my care so I also make sure to always check up on every pet at different hours and times, rarely leaving them out of my sight (while also keeping my distance if they’re resting) to ensure they’re always okay. I work part-time remotely since I finished university in March of 2024. So I have no issues with times and days that will work best for you and your pets! I care for pets in client’s homes by making sure they’re never missing anything, from food, water, toys, time to go to the bathroom, medicines if they take them, etc… I make sure pets understand I’m simply there as an aid for them and someone they can play with if they choose to! I’m simply there to ensure every pet is taken care of while also having time to play and give them their space, after all, it’s their home and they need to feel the most comfortable and safe in their own space.

“Jessica was super great and took the time to make sure my shy kitty was comfortable! She is thoughtful and patient. Would book her again in a heartbeat!”

About: I’ve owned dogs since I was 6 years old. My parents taught me responsibility with all the dogs I grew up with. I currently own the grand daughter of my first dog ever. Bella is a poodle and I treat her as my daughter. I also have taken care of my boyfriend’s dog and am well aware of concerning behavior or any warnings that the dogs are ill. I work full time but get off at 5pm. I have free time after 5:30pm and have open availability on Saturdays for any needs :). At my home, I have a fenced backyard as I too have my own dog Bella. I always make sure there’s no food or anything that may catch their attention. When really hot out I make sure my dog goes potty and we get her inside. If I go to your home I follow your rules and will do as you wish.

About: Had many pups in my life, I've said my goodbyes, however I still give back by taking care of yours. I know they mean lots and I know each and every one of them has a unique personality which I tend to. I am very adaptable to your pups needs and will understand them to the best of my ability to make sure they enjoy my company while you are gone 😁. Unless I am booked, I am available all 24 hours of the day. Always have the peace of mind that your pup is being cared for no matter the day or the time. I have 2 fenced-in yards, have most pet necessities in home, neighbors/house residents are very dog friendly. Very safe trustworthy environment for your pup to ensure your peace of mind for their boarding.
