Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In West Elsdon

“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!”

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

About: I’ve have taken care of pets before as I do have a dog myself and I have also looked over and cared for cats cause anytime family is away anytime I look over them. I’m currently in summer break from college and I been spending time with my dog and making sure he goes outside and I also have time to make appointments for him such as vet visits or showers. In my house we have a gate and we always the gate close so my dog doesn’t get out. I also have the a/c running most of the time so my dog could chill as summer is coming around the corner. I always make sure he has food and water.

About: I'm a 23-year-old who attends UIC for psychology and the OT program. I have had pets since I was little and know how to care and love for them. I know how scary it is trying to find a good sitter to look after your pet while you are away which is why if you book me, I will send you frequent updates including pictures and videos so you can be at ease. I have a fenced yard that is big enough for any dog to run around in, so if your dog doesn't do well with walks, the backyard is enough for them to get their exercise in. If I ever have to leave the house for an errand, your dog won't be alone because either my mom or sister along with my younger siblings will be at home. Your dog will feel at home and can treat my place as their own. If you have any questions or are interested in booking with me, please don't hesitate to reach out. I use to do Rover full time in the summers and on and off through my schooling. At this current moment in time I commute to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Tuesdays and Thursdays Im not home from 11am-4pm. Although I will not be home at those given times, my mom will be. She is the person who watches any dogs I am dog sitting. My repeat clients know my mom well and she is very trustworthy. All the other days I will be at home. I make sure food or plants that are toxic to dogs are out of their reach, before i let any dog run out to the yard i double check any doors leading outside are closed and locked. For this fall of 2022 I will be providing care for 2 or 3 dogs at a time, everyone will be informed which dogs will be staying with me and consenting before I book. If this is not ideal please let me know if you want no other dogs booked.

“We were so grateful for Nikki caring for our two cats during our extended vacation. Both cats are very anxious with strangers, and one of our cats has special medical needs. Nikki was extremely gentle and patient during our introductory visit, letting the cats approach her and not trying to force any interaction. She handled the food, water. medication, litter, and play during our vacation and updated us every day. She was also really responsive to changes and updates. Thank you Nikki!”

About: I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and different energy levels, and I always focus on making pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine as a nursing student because spending time with animals helps me stay active, reduce stress, and recharge mentally. Daily walks help me get my steps in, and being around dogs honestly makes even the busiest days better. I enjoy giving pets lots of attention, playtime, and care while keeping their routines consistent and owners updated. I grew up helping care for my mom’s dogs and now have a cat of my own who means everything to me. I also regularly care for my mom’s dogs when my family travels to Mexico, so I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and daily routines independently. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment.

Ill be able to balance existing commitments with pet care I have a small fenced back yard with a ranch style house. I have two parks nearby that we can walk to get extra exercise!

“Angela helped us last minute while I was out of town and my partner was busy. She was very communicative and kind. Our pup had to take some medication and she did well with that. Many thanks for your help!”

About: I've had cats in my life since 2004. I've currently have 2 cats right now. I have experience with providing medication such as pills. Also I enjoy playing with cats and believe they should be played with. I like to keep things clean for them such as proving them with clean water and fresh cat litter boxes. I enjoy making them happy because it makes me happy. I currently am working full time Monday through Friday. I would have time available on some Friday nights and Saturday mornings. Occasionally I might be available on select Sundays. I can take care of your cats in your home, depending on how you want them to be in your home. If you want them to roam around in your home that's great. If you prefer then to be crated then that's ok too. What ever instructions you leave with me I respect that and can make it work.

About: Growing up, my home was always full of animals so I learned early on how to be attentive to different needs, behaviors, and personalities. My grandma played a big role in shaping my love for animals. She used to care for the neighborhood cats and regularly fed the birds which I always loved helping her. That experience taught me compassion and the importance of looking out for animals, even those without homes. Over the years, I’ve also helped foster pets and took in my first injured cat, which gave me hands-on experience being patient, gentle, and attentive to animals that need extra care and comfort. While I’m newer to Rover professionally, caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I truly enjoy making sure they feel safe, loved, and well taken care of! At the moment I am working from home Monday - Friday (8am-4:30pm) and located in the midway area. I am an early bird for those who may prefer early services! I do hope to open up my availability in the near future to make more time for furry friends! I’m also available on weekends. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for and stress free while you’re away! I’m very attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, whether that means giving lots of playtime and exercise or a calm, gentle presence for more relaxed or shy pets. I also make sure your home is respected and kept tidy during visits. whether I’m in your home or stopping by for a visit. I always try to stick as closely as possible to your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. whether I’m in your home or stopping by for a visit.

My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. As a cat owner, I'm experienced with daily feeding routines, playtime, litter box maintenance, and respecting each cat's unique personality and comfort level. I also grew up with dogs and have experience with walks, exercise, feeding, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I offer dog walking, cat drop-in visits, and house sitting services. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, your cat needs care and company at home, or you're looking for someone dependable to stay with your pets while you travel, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I'd want for my own pets. I know how important updates are when you're away, so you can expect regular communication, photos, and check-ins throughout my visits. I'm dependable, attentive to details, and committed to keeping your pet's routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and help give you peace of mind while you're away! As a part-time worker, I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care, with availability for mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires a high level of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. When caring for pets in a client's home, I am respectful of personal property, follow all household instructions carefully, and maintain a professional, reliable presence at every visit. I prioritize the safety and well-being of both pets and their homes by ensuring doors, gates, and windows are secure, keeping living areas tidy, and adhering to any specific care routines provided by the owner. I communicate clearly and consistently, providing updates, photos, and prompt responses so pet parents can feel confident and informed while they are away. My goal is to create a positive experience built on trust, dependability, and respect, giving owners peace of mind that their pets and homes are being cared for responsibly.

“Luis was great with our two cats! He was responsive and followed our detailed instructions very well. Our cats seemed happy when we returned from vacation. Would recommend him.”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover and pet caretaker, with tons of experience with dogs of all sizes, multiple breeds, puppies, and senior dogs! I was born and raised in Illinois, where I grew up as a caretaker for multiple cats and a German Shepard/Newfoundland mix named Henry, who I helped take care of with my family. I took care of my family’s chihuahua and acclimated him to a new environment. I have taken care of dogs and cats with plenty of unique situations who needed extra love! I moved to Las Vegas in 2016, and I am currently the co owner of 3 rescue pups, who require plenty of love, walks, and playtime. I adopted my dog Zeyda when she was 12 weeks old, and I worked with her a lot using positive reinforcement and attended training with her to help her gain confidence, learn basic life skills and tricks, and walk on a loose leash. I love helping pets and making them happy, giving each one the unique love and care that it needs. I am off during the summer (until August 1st) so I have very open availability! During the rest of the year I work full time, so I am typically available on weekends as well as evenings during the week. I may be available during the week around holidays as well. I have a 2 story house with a fenced yard, and a dog run across the street. My gated neighborhood is dog friendly and perfect for walks. My 2 roommates and I take care of 3 dogs, and they are friendly and loving.

About: Hi, I’m Sheccid 👋🏼 As a proud dog mom to my Chi-Beagle, Lily, I know that every pup has a unique personality. Dogs have always been a central part of my life, and l've become great at reading their cues and adapting to their specific needs. I currently live in a relaxed home with my husband and Lily. I work from home, so I'll give your pup plenty of focused attention throughout the day. I'm also lucky to have a fenced-in yard, providing a safe and private space for your dog to play and stretch their legs. I can adapt to all types of temperaments- whether your dog is shy and needs a patient hand or is bold and high-energy. If they enjoy making new friends, Lily is available to join us on our walks for some extra socialization. I am dedicated to building a bond of trust with every dog I meet (and their owner) and look forward to caring for your furry friend! I work part-time from home, so Lily and I will have plenty of time to go on walks, play, and keep your pet company while you’re gone. Although Lily is friendly I never leave them unsupervised or alone for too long. I’m flexible with their needs and can crate or give them their own space if they’re nervous.

About: Hi! I am currently a receptionist at an animal hospital located in Bucktown/Wicker Park. I have worked as a dog handler, or what we refer as a pack leader, at a doggy daycare located in the West Loop neighborhood in the past for over two years. I am certified in canine first aid, and I usually spend around 8-9 hours a day with medium to big dogs and also cats. I have gained a lot of experience by spending time with dogs that have different behaviors, from friendly to aggressive, I have not faced any issues with dogs yet. I have also spent time around dogs that require special care, so that would definitely not be an issue with me. Overall, I am always willing to spend time with doggies, even friends call me the dog whisperer :)

“Excellent. Great communication and extremely attentive to our dogs. We were really happy to have her stop by and get their energy out!”
