Dog Sitting Wheaton

About: Are you looking for an experienced dog/cat/plant/fish/ sitter in the western suburbs? I have experience with dogs of all sizes and cats of many temperaments. I grew up with just about every animal you can think of and would love to meet your favorite furry/scaley/leafy friend! I’m available for drop in visits, dog walking, overnight sits, etc. I love spending time with animals and am happy to make time available when needed. I have a very active life and love being outdoors. Open availability evenings and weekends! I love to take lots of pictures and videos to send to owners! Typical activities of feeding, watering, petting, and spending time with your furry friends.

“Christina has been awesome! Instructions were followed, communication was great, and she was extremely prompt!”

“I have a very shy kitty. I was shocked when she warmed up to Jessica so immediately. When I returned home, I found the litter box clean and a very happy cat. I would be happy for her to stay with my cat any time.”

About: What sets me apart is my combination of hands-on experience and genuine passion for animal care. I’m currently studying to become a dog trainer, which allows me to go beyond basic sitting by reinforcing good behaviors, working on basic commands, and helping puppies build positive habits like potty training, crate training, and leash manners. I also have experience working in an animal hospital setting, so I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or health and can confidently handle situations that may require extra attention. I’m experienced with senior pets as well, providing gentle care, administering medications if needed, and making sure they stay comfortable and stress-free. In addition, I have a calm home environment with a fenced yard and a nearby park for safe exercise and enrichment. I also have a retired service dog and a service dog in training, so I’m very familiar with structured routines, patience, and maintaining a peaceful environment around other animals. Hi! I’m Alina❤️ I’m currently studying to become a professional dog trainer and absolutely love learning more about canine behavior every day. I’ve worked in an animal hospital setting, where I gained experience handling dogs safely, assisting with care, and administering medications. I’m comfortable with high-energy pups, shy dogs, seniors, and even special-needs pets. I treat every dog like they’re my own and focus on patience, structure, and lots of positive reinforcement! I provide attentive, individualized care depending on each pet’s needs and the service requested. In my home, I create a calm, safe environment with plenty of supervision, structured routines, and enrichment like walks, playtime, and mental stimulation. I make sure pets are comfortable, well-exercised, and stick closely to their normal feeding and potty schedules.

About: I am a high-energy individual who loves all types of dogs! Rover is my first "official" platform, but I have been pet-sitting and caring for dogs since I was young. As I got older, I gained more responsibility and more training with the family dog. I have had a lot of experience with adopted dogs, young and old, and promise to provide the best care while you are away. My parent's current dog that I care for often also has given me experience with regular medication/monitoring health concerns while also providing superior care. If your dog loves to play outside, go for a run, soak in the sun and play tug of war (but also sneak a nap in too), I am your pet-sitter! I am currently a fitness coach that works non-normal hours, so I can spend time with your furry baby during the day! I can also stay long hours overnight if needed to keep your pet relaxed while you are away. Depending on the day, your pet could be alone for 4-8 hours a day with me. I will care for the pet's health concerns (including medication), make sure they have ample time outside (weather dependent) for potty time and exercise, and will care for their physical health if requested (ie brush coat or give bath). I will ask about how they interact with other dogs, people, animals so I can protect your pet and keep them safe.

“Rosa was so wonderful with our dog. She walked him, played with him and made sure he was well fed, happy and safe. She communicated with us during or after each visit and even sent pictures of him having fun which gave us great peace of mind knowing he was being well cared for while we were away. I highly recommend her!”

About: I was the primary caretaker for my beloved West Highland Terrier Piper during her senior years until she passed at 17, this included giving medications and providing dynamic enrichment to help her doggie mind and body. I want to do the same for your precious pet! I am a remote student and part time babysitter, I am unable to have my own dog at the moment so I am always looking for a furry friend to spend study breaks and free time with! Strangers can be scary, so I will always engage with your pets to their comfort level and build trust at safe and respectful pace. This safe and respectful attitude also extends to any other pets in the home, and the space itself.

“Hasan was great !! He communicated everyday and repo fed promptly and my pup was clearly happy and felt at home . Will definitely being sending her back when i have to take work trips !!”

“No doubt about it, I’d pick Kaitlyn to catsit again in a heartbeat. I am so beyond thankful for all of Kaitlyn’s patience, kindness, warmth, and compassion. She bonded with both our cats right off the bat. Our shy male cat warmed up to her very quickly. The anxious girl kitty took a bit longer to come around, but Kaitlyn made sure to go at the pace of the kitty in question. She was able to medicate our male cat, and made sure they both felt loved and cared for while we were away for an extended period of time. She communicated as soon as anything came up, and was very flexible! It was such a relief knowing our cats were in such thoughtful & capable hands for the holidays. My girlfriend and I could not recommend her more highly! 🩵”

Ambrose G.

“Absolutely thrilled with Katies care for my cats. She spent extra time then expected, she went above and beyond doing things she didn’t even need to, she took the best pictures of my pets and her comments she left about the visit was well thought out and gave me a good chuckle. I have used several other Rover sitters and she is my favorite! I highly recommend her!”

I have references from happy cat parents who can vouch for my loving and attentive care.

About: Hi! I’ve been dog sitting for the past 4 years and have had dogs of my own growing up, so caring for pups has always been a big part of my life. I truly love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, fun runs, or creating stimulating activities to keep them mentally engaged, I tailor each visit to your dog’s unique energy level and personality. I know how important it is to feel connected while you’re apart from your pup, so I always send plenty of photos and updates to keep you in the loop. I treat every dog like they’re my own and can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I currently work completely remote so I am very flexible to tailor to your pups needs, whether that be popping over for a potty break, a nice long walk, ect! Boarding needs are very flexible too, I would love to have your pup over to my home when you are in need of boarding services. We can discuss more details about this if that is something you are in need of. I have a townhouse & have an English cream golden retriever. Your dog will be in a very safe environment and if you are trusting me with boarding services, your dog will be my main priority. Whatever needs your dog needs, I will be the person to help meet them and have a comfortable experience while being away from their family. Get ready for photos of our time together!

About: FIRST TIME CLIENTS*** Promo Code JORGEO48519 Hello, my name is Jay Ortiz and thank you for visiting my page! I love making every animal's day more memorable than the last. I am available in the rain, snow or shine and have 12+ years of animal care experience. Love is the key ingredient in every animals life & I make sure to treat each one as my own. Spoiling animals with a toy or treat is one of my favorite things to do. Training them for some fun family tricks is another great exercise I like to incorporate during playtime. Not every dog is the same, if your boy/girl is a calm, sweet pup that likes to just chill through the day no problem! While Zero (my dog) and I love to be active, we know how to rest as well. Not only will there be a large fenced yard to run & play in, but a public park is only a walk away, included with a scenic lake, which is great for casual strolls or healthy exercise! I have been fostering and taking care of dogs and cats since I was 16 years old. I have trained them myself with much success. I am a Marine veteran that has experience working with service dogs and know how to read body language and attend to your pet as needed. From sneaky ferrets, bubbling fish, trouble making cats, to energetic dogs, I am positive I can bring the best experience to you & your fluffy pals. After all, I think we could agree we treat them just as our actual children (haha)! I am generally pretty flexible when scheduling. Please message me for details. I look forward to building a relationship with you & your wonderful animals soon! *Special notes: ------------ - Meet & Greets are required unless specific events prevent so. This is important for me so we can get to know each other and your pet better. -Meet & Greets must be scheduled immediately when requesting a booking and take place that same week. -Booking requests must be confirmed or cancelled after each Meet and Greet. -Please note that Day Care Rates will be added for your pet’s extended stay (for boarding) or your late day arrival (for house-sitting) should the pick up or you’re arrival time go beyond 12:00pm on the last day of service. -Additional rates ($10/ hour) will apply to Doggy Day Care services when pick up time is beyond 7:00pm and before 11:30pm. Pick up time past 11:30pm will result in an added boarding fee. *The $10/hour additional fee will be waived when Doggy Day Care service starts no earlier than 5:00pm and ends no later than 9:30pm* »»--------------------------------♡--------------------------------«« With me, taking care of your fluffy cuties and helping your family is my full-time job. You and your family’s comfort and safety is my #1 priority as I aim to only give the highest quality of pet service. My weeks vary every month as I take care of new clients, repeat clients, Rover clients and Private clients each week. Whether you need repeat service or spontaneous visits, my goal is to be their for you and your fur babies 24/7, 365 days a year. I have a large fenced yard for any energetic pup to play in, along with a beautiful public park for your dog to explore. Not only will your pet have a vast landscape to have fun in but I also have a dog lounge equipped with a couch only used for dogs, mood lighting, treats, baskets of toys and much more! We do share the bed if your dog loves cuddles (we love them too!) and treat every fluffy client as my very own. For Away Services (such as house sitting) all the tender love and care is brought right to your door. Going for walks in your surrounding area, training, movies and fun are a must during each of my stays. After all, every cute dog deserves rest after a fun day! While pet sitting, if your pet is a high energy ball of fun I understand that that level of energy needs to be addressed with walks and play. I live right next to the park district and the neighborhood is an ideal location. I will attend to your pet strictly as required upon your instructions. Water will be accessible throughout their stay. Walk, run and play time will be conducted safely at the energy level displayed by your pet. I wouldn't want someone to make me run just because they want me to be tired later. Just like ourselves, our pets should be happy about exercising! I have multiple crates and if requested I can help potty train! My dog Zero is a rescue and he is a super sweet guy. He loves meeting new dogs and playing with the tug rope. He is a great companion on a run and can show others how to walk, run and play while following their leader. Environment: Very spacious, clean and friendly! **My girlfriend Taylor G., is also a Rover Sitter, so there may be other pets in our home while I'm watching your pet(s). If this happens, I'll absolutely notify you before our booking begins!

About: I started dog sittng in college for my professors and quickly grew to love it. I've gained experience walking, feeding, and caring for dogs, and I bring these skills to my own pets as well. I'm excited to provide the same care and attention to your dog while you're away. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible and I can accomodate your need. I also offer pickup and drop-off services for a small fee. I have a fenced yard providing a secured space for your dog to play and relax. I also have a senior male Australian Shedperd who loves to play with other dogs, so your pet will have a friendly companion during the stay.

“Great experience!”
