House Sitting in West Springs

“I got home to two pups who were excited to see me, but otherwise calm and happy. Dylan is a kind, chill presence and it seemed that Rocko and Hazel took their cue from that, and followed suit. They were obviously well cared for. The ability to remain home, for these two anyway, went a long way in giving me the peace of mind to be away for a few days. I would not hesitate to recommend Dylan to friends, neighbors or family needing care for their pets, nor will I hesitate to place Rocko and Hazel in Dylan's reliable hands in the future. Thank you so much, Dylan!”

“Susan was wonderful! She gave lots of updates, and I could tell in the meet-up that she would give my dogs lots of love. Will definitely use her again for house-sitting!”

About: I've been a dog lover all of my life. I also know how to deal with cats having owned two for over 15 years. I train all my animals to be sweet, obedient, independent, and spoiled! I'm a college educated man that can care for animals just about any time. I'm good at gaining trust with animals and building a relationship with them that makes care much easier. I prefer to go to clients home just because I have a little dog at home that's only 10lbs. Since most dogs outsize him, I'm not particularly comfortable bringing other dogs or cats into his domain. However, I am more than happy to give your pet the care they need at their own home so their lives are as undisturbed as possible. I will always view myself as a guest in their domain. I seek not only to serve you the owner as a customer, but the animal as well. I have a great love and respect for all our little family members!

“Amanda was great! I was worried about my dog because she’s older. But she was very well taken care of and Amanda made sure Reese’s was in good hands! I will definitely rebook with her.”

About: I have had animals my whole life from dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles. My experience with caring and taking care of those different types of animals has allowed me to understand how to treat and care for them in the best way. I also have been know to spoil spoil every animal and get them whatever treats rhey want. Pet care fits into my daily routine because im always at home and i have my own car. I’m able to pick up and go whenever i need to. I have a fenced in yard and i often take my cats outside to room around the yard. When your pets come over they will have a huge backyard to run around in.

“Cindy did an excellent job keeping Peanut company while we were away and kept us updated with lots of pics. She was always responsive and I would gladly use her in the future. Highly recommend!”

“This was a repeat housesitting stay with Jessica, and once again she was absolutely wonderful. We will happily book with her anytime she's available. We have two cats and a dog, and all three love her. One of our cats is extremely shy and typically takes a very long time to warm up to new people. During Jessica's first stay, she was incredibly patient and respectful, allowing our cat to set the pace for interactions rather than forcing attention. Because of that, our cat clearly remembered her and trusted her. Within minutes of Jessica arriving for this stay, she came right up to greet her and even allowed Jessica to pet her again, which is something she rarely does with people outside our family. Jessica communicates well, follows instructions carefully, and genuinely cares about the animals in her care. She sends regular updates and lots of wonderful photos, which always help put our minds at ease while we're away. Seeing our fur babies happy, comfortable, and well cared for means so much to us. One thing that really stood out to us was what happened when she wasn't available for a previous booking. Rather than simply declining, she introduced us to her sister, Natalie, who is also a Rover sitter. Because we'd had a bad experience with another sitter in the past, Jessica went out of her way to personally come to the meet and greet with Natalie to help everyone feel comfortable and make the transition smooth. She wasn't being paid for that time and wasn't even the one caring for our pets during that booking, but she still took the extra step because she genuinely wanted us and our pets to feel at ease. That meant a lot to us. Jessica is reliable, thoughtful, trustworthy, and professional. She also takes excellent care of our home. When we return, everything is clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. You'd hardly know anyone had been staying there. Most importantly, our pets are happy, relaxed, and stress-free when we get home. We couldn't ask for more and highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”

About: I have years of experience caring for a wide variety of dog breeds, as well as cats. From high-energy playtime and daily walks to providing the gentle, attentive care that senior dogs need, I know how to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable. Neighbors, friends, and family have always trusted me to feed, walk, and look after their furry family members. I maintain a flexible part-time routine, which gives me plenty of dedicated time to focus on your pets! I am fully available for weekend boarding, and on weekdays, I am ready to step in for walks, playtime, and companionship anytime after 2:00 PM. Because my schedule is highly predictable, you can count on consistent routines and timely updates for your furry family members. Keeping pets safe and comfortable matters most here. A spacious, completely enclosed yard offers plenty of room for supervised outdoor activity. The household runs quietly, adjusting smoothly to each pet’s habits. Crating happens when preferred by the pet or requested by you. Every detail, including feeding schedules, medications, and special directions, is followed exactly as given.

“Jackie was great with our cat and our home while we were away. She was able to recognize signs of stress and adjust the care she provided to make sure our cat was happy and comfortable (he is typically on the skittish/nervous side as it is, so we wanted to make sure he was in good hands while out of town). She also sent us photos and updates while we were away. She was very kind and respectful. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Lauren was consistent in her communication and care to our babies Zeus and Kingston. We appreciated the constant communication.”

“This is our 2nd booking with Shelby. We had an emergency trip arise and she was able to help when we needed her. Our dogs love her and we know they are in good hands. She keeps our house spotless. Shelby is terrific and we will book with her over and over again!”

“We were nervous leaving our babies for a week but Amanda took such good care of them. Amanda sent us multiple updates a day. We will definitely book Amanda again.”

About: I’ve been looking after pets for 15 years. I love spending time with pets. I have provided care to many dogs and a few cats. I’m currently working part time. I am available to care for your pets most days from 9am till 10 pm. I look forward to meeting your pets. I love hanging out with pets. I’m good with walking them playing with them and even having a good snuggle if they what they desire

“Alyssa was terrific! The dogs loved her. She followed the directions (my dogs are all retired Champions) I will certainly want her to sit with them in the future”

About: I’ve been pet/house sitting for the last couple of years. The most animals I’ve worked with at one time is 4. I’m great with a schedule if your pet needs it. I love all pets and I can’t wait to get to know yours! I’m available most of the time I’m not working right now so the only time I won’t be free are for personal matters. I am looking for new work so this may change. I have worked with both larger and smaller dogs. If they are still working in training I can continue to work with them on what they know. I have helped train in the past but I haven’t done any primary training myself.

“Valeria was amazing! Truly had the best experience with her. She was so communicative and had great attention to detail. Cannot recommend her enough! We will definitely book with her again ❤️”

“Lori did an absolutely fantastic job watching our dog, Katara. She gave regular updates throughout the day letting us know how Katara was doing along with pictures. She was very quick to respond if we messaged her about Katara, or had any follow up questions to her texts. Lori even left a lovely thank you note! Overall it was a wonderful experience and we would definitely hire her again. 10/10 recommend.”
