Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In West Ridge

“Dimitrios was fantastic! We needed someone to house visit our dog a few days when our usual Rover sitter was unavailable. He came with only a few days notice to meet her and got along with her great. Highly recommend using him.”

Her compassion, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals truly saved our little one’s life. We are forever grateful for what she did. she went above and beyond in every way imaginable.

About: I’ve had pets in my family all my life - dogs, cat, fish, bunnies - I’m a huge animal lover! I currently live with my adorable orange cat Franklin, and I’m open to meet lots more furry friends. During August-June, I work with kiddos, but now that summers here I have a very flexible schedule. I’d love to pet sit or dog walk for you, let’s connect :) I currently only work 2 days a week, as I’m on my summer break (I’m a teacher!). I have plenty of time to pet sit, dog walk, or let your animal out for a potty break, most days and times of the week! I am careful and considerate when entering clients’ homes. I will be sure to give your pet the care and attention they need that day!

“Isabelle was amazing! We were able to finally leave the house without worrying about our pup, and Isabelle took very good care of Charlie. Hoping to book with her again soon!”

“Houston was awesome with my two large dogs. They were well taken care of and Houston had excellent communication, patience, and flexibility with me for all of the changes in my schedule the day she was with them.”

About: Hi! I have a flexible schedule and love being able to structure my days around care work. As a social worker, I’m reliable, attentive, and calm in all kinds of situations. If my calendar doesn’t line up, message me anyway – I’m usually happy to try to make it work. I’m a lifelong caretaker (former teacher, child care provider, babysitter, and current servant to four cats). I grew up with dogs and have experience with everyone from wildly energetic puppies to senior pups who need a slower pace and extra patience. I’m very comfortable with pet quirks. Food warmed for exactly two seconds? Specific petting rules? Emotional support hair tie? I get it. As a cat mom, nothing surprises me. Whether your pet wants long walks, playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they’re safe, loved, and very well looked after. I have the most availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I also have some AM and PM availability so it’s easy for me to fit pet care into my day. When I’m caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to follow their normal routine so they feel comfortable and safe. I make sure they get the right amount of food, playtime, walks, and attention based on their needs and personality. I also like to check in with photo or text updates so you know how they’re doing.

“This was my first experience using Rover. Meredith made it seamless. She communicated well and responded promptly. I would definitely book her in the future.”

Michelle P.

“Brenda is amazing and leads with kindness and care for my cat! My cat is typically shy and reserved around new people but quickly warmed up to Brenda. Will be booking again for sure!”

About: I’ve owned dogs from 6lb to 120lb, cared for sick and elderly dogs (including IVDD, experienced with medications including fluids via IV), loved dogs of all kinds my entire life! Your dogs will need to get along with my 2, and you can expect walks in fenced Warren Park, frequent potty breaks, and photo updates from me. We are dachshund lovers so we have stairs and ramps all over the house so the shortest pups can safely reach couches and beds. My partner Ben is a big help, and we would love to know everything about your precious pup’s personality to make sure they feel right at home with us and make the transition smooth. Hope to meet you and your furry one soon. I work part time and remotely. Weekends are hit and miss, but Mon/Tues/Thurs/Fri are open for dog care! Wed/Sat/Sun are dependent on current schedule. Any Qs, shoot me a message! My friendly pups will socialize with yours, and both are great at napping all day, too. Our potty breaks are every 2-4 hours, or sooner if your pup has special needs. We have a potty bell here, so if you use it at home you’re in luck (and Finn has been known to teach younger pups this skill). We walk daily a 1-mile loop in fenced Warren park, if that’s something your dog enjoys.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life. I grew up looking after our family dog and helping with neighbors’ pets, and in my 20s and early 30s I regularly sat for, fostered, and checked in on friends’ and community members’ animals—mostly dogs and cats, with the occasional bird, frog, or turtle. I adopted my own cat in my 30s and have lived with multiple pets while sharing homes with roommates. While much of this care was informal, it gave me a wide range of hands-on experience. After a particularly rewarding role walking dogs for a company from 2022 to 2023, I began freelancing and now work with clients through community referrals. I’m just getting back into freelance pet care after taking time off over the past couple of years to recover from injuries, and I’m really looking forward to being active in this work again. My schedule is currently quite flexible as I rebuild my client base, which allows me to accommodate a range of needs. I’d love the chance to meet your pets and provide attentive, reliable care. Take care! When I’m pet sitting or doing drop-in visits, I start by confirming the schedule and any specific needs or routines for your pet. From there, I focus on being both thorough and present—making sure all daily care is handled carefully while also spending quality time with them. I approach each visit with genuine affection and attention, so your pet feels safe, cared for, and well-loved while you’re away.

“I was really nervous about leaving my pug Maui with a pet sitter because the last time I boarded him at a kennel, he unfortunately lost his eye. After reading all of Eli’s positive reviews, I decided to give him a chance, and I’m so glad I did. Eli was amazing. He was super responsive, very on top of everything, and truly cared about Maui. You can tell he takes what he does seriously and wants both the pets and owners to feel comfortable. Maui absolutely loved him! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Maui was in good hands. I would definitely use Eli again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. 🐾”
