Pet Sitting Wheaton

“Ashley is awesome and very reliable! My kitten is a little trouble maker and Ashley was so sweet to clean up after he broke two of my plant pots. I am grateful to work with her!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life from big dogs to fluffy cats. I currently have two kitties who are my world, but always grew up with dogs! I have a ton of experience caring for my own pets- dog walking, feeding, cleaning, etc. Animals have my heart and I will love your babies like my own! I work a typical M-F 8-4 job, but am more than happy to make visits before and after work. Weekends are wide open! I am detail oriented when it comes to pet care. I will provide quality time with your pet in addition to ensuring a clean and safe environment!

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have had multiple rescue dogs from puppies to older dogs. I have taken care of family member dogs. I am recently retired from a career in medical imaging. I have a PhD in Physics and have worked in hospitals including patient care. I have always loved dogs and seem to have a special bond with them. Being retired, I have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I will treat your pet as if it was my own. I do not currently have any pets of my own. I recently moved to this area and live in a townhome.

“Anna walked and dropped in to check on my pup Walter. She was lovely, communicative, reliable, followed his exact routine, and embraced my puppy’s little quirks. Walter can be a bit high-energy when meeting new people, and Anna handled it with patience. I will definitely book her again!”

About: I currently have a cat of my own -Ozzy- and have cared for him for the past three years, giving me a lot of experience with feeding, keeping routines, playtime, litter box care, and paying attention to changes in behavior or mood. I previously worked at a pet store where I helped care for shelter cats up for adoption. This gave me the opportunity to work with cats with different personalities and comfort levels and taught me the importance of patience and letting each animal come to you at their own pace. In anddition, I’ve also cared for my neighbors' pets over the years, including cats, dogs, birds and rabbits while they were away. I grew up with dogs and have experience walking and caring for them, as well as growing up with hamsters and birds. While I'm not comfortable handling birds directly, I'm happy to help with basic care such as feeding and cage cleaning. Working late? I’ve got you! I work a full time office job, so my most reliable weekday availability is early mornings for check-in visits and after 4 pm for dog walks and check-ins. Rain or snow? No problem! I’m happy to get outside for your dog’s walk as long as conditions are safe for both me and your pup! I’m also available Saturday/Sunday mornings and afternoons, with evenings varying from week to week. Feel free to reach out even if your schedule doesn’t perfectly match my usual availability as I’m happy to see if we can make it work. For weekday mornings or earlier afternoon visits, I may be able to accommodate requests with a few days notice depending on the location. I’m especially flexible around the Downers Grove area. My goal is to find a schedule that works for both of us and, most importantly, keeps your pet happy and well cared for. I know how important our pets are to us, and I want you to feel confident that yours is in caring, dependable hands while you're away. I'm a calm and attentive caregiver who takes the time to learn each pet's individual personality, routine, and needs. For check-in visits, I can provide fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and oral medication (pills only—no injections). I’ll also send you a photo and update during each visit so you know how your pet is doing. I’m mindful that I’m also a guest in your home. I clean up after myself, keep your pet’s food, toys, and supplies where they belong, and leave things as I found them. I believe clear communication is an important part of building trust, so I’ll follow your instructions carefully and let you know if I notice anything unusual with your pet. At this time, I offer check-in visits and dog walking rather than boarding.

“Claudia was so great with our 2 cats! They loved her & warmed up to her right away!!! She is very kind, prompt & so willing to help! Her messages & pictures of the animals while you're away, let's you know they are well taken care of!! Claudia will always be my first choice!!!!”

About: "Dogs chew shoes because it is the last thing they see you put on before you leave." I want to be there so your best friend doesn't have to feel lonely the whole time you are gone. They won't have to think they need to destroy your shoes in order for you to stay home because I can be that person who your dog looks forward to seeing when they can't see you. I have grown up with dogs my whole life, every single one was my best friend. I loved them so much I wanted to have my own. My Nessa has shown me happiness, love, and responsibility. It all has came so naturally to me, I don't want to stop with Nessa. I will treat any dog I meet as my own. I have the energy to keep up with active dogs, and the patience to slow down with calm dogs. All dogs have their own individual needs and desires. I have experience with all big, small, young, and old. I am also experienced in giving oral medication as well as injections. I would love an opportunity to hangout with your dog. If you need a friend get a dog, if your dog needs a friend get me! I work full time 7:30-4:30 M-F. I can take appointments after work and I am also available on the weekends pretty much at any time. I provide safe and reliable care for dogs in their own homes and on walks. I follow each pet’s normal routine, use a secure leash, clean up after them, and send photo updates. In your home I’m careful, respectful, and focused on keeping your dog comfortable and safe. Clear communication and safety are always my priorities.

“David and Susan were so so wonderful and kind! They took care of our cat and spent time with him. They were very helpful!”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and currently care for two of my own with ongoing health needs: one with hip dysplasia, who needs walks with breaks, physical therapy, and swimming sessions, and one with IBD, who needs a strict diet and daily medication. I'm comfortable giving medication, managing special diets, and following care instructions exactly as given. I also spent a year pet-sitting a neighbor's puppy and cat, including daily visits and boarding. I'm a parent to a toddler and available every weekday morning, roughly 8:30am to 12pm, for visits and walks. Caring for pets is part of my daily rhythm already, so your pet gets my full attention during our time together, not a rushed in-between. I follow each pet's routine and instructions closely, whether that's medication, a specific diet, or a particular walking pace. I'm attentive to small changes in behavior or appetite, since I manage similar things with my own dogs at home. I send photo updates during visits so you always know how things went.

“Julia did a great job taking care of our kitties. She was prompt and responsive, leaving us messages and pics while we were gone. We highly recommend her for any pet sitting job!”

“I was very nervous about highering a sitter for my little girls for the first time, infact I was down right scared. Joan came over to meet my girls before we left and she put me at ease. My girls feel in love at first sight! She maintained constant communication and I received a ton of photos. She treated my girls like family and not just dogs. I will be using Joan anytime I need a sitter. She was amazing and I am forever grateful. Thank you from the Johnson household.”

About: Hi! We’re a couple who genuinely love dogs. We’ve also spent plenty of time looking after our family members’ pets, so we know how much they become part of the family. We both work in healthcare, so we’re used to being patient, responsible, and paying attention to the little things. We know every dog has their own personality and routine, and we’ll do our best to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. We’re excited to meet some new furry friends, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving lots of belly rubs, or just keeping them company. 🐶❤️ We both work full-time in a hospital, so our schedules vary, but we’re upfront about our availability and only accept bookings we can commit to. We’ll follow your pet’s routine, give them plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Your pet’s safety and comfort come first! We live in a clean, cozy first-floor apartment with a safe and welcoming environment for pets. We’ll keep a close eye on your fur baby, follow their routine, and give them plenty of love, cuddles, and playtime. ❤️

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have two long haired miniature dachshunds that I’ve raised since they were puppies. If you know dachshunds, you know how stubborn they can be… which means I’ve mastered patience, consistency, and lots of love for all pups. I’m trusted by friends and family to walk, feed, and care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I treat every pup like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella are required vaccinations. Please provide proof of current vaccinations and/or the contact information and authorization to speak to your vet if needed. I work full time at a school and typically finish my day around 3pm, which allows me to offer dog walks and drop in visits after work during the week. For house sitting, my availability is primarily during holidays and school breaks when I’m off work and have more flexibility to spend time with your pets! While my availability is more limited during the school year, I’m always happy to chat about your needs and see if we can find something that works with my schedule. In your home: I love getting to know pets before caring for them, so I always welcome a meet and greet beforehand! This gives us a chance to get comfortable with one another and allows me to learn about their daily routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. My goal is to keep your pets as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away, all while maintaining the routines they’re used to. For walks and drop ins: I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for during our time together. Whether that’s a nice walk, potty break, playtime, feeding, or some extra cuddles, I tailor each visit to your pet’s personality and needs. As a dog mom of two myself, I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want someone to give my own! In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment in my apartment. All outdoor time is done on a secure leash, and we also have access to a nearby dog park if your pup is comfortable going for extra exercise and playtime. Since I have two dogs of my own, I prefer to schedule a meet and greet before boarding so our pets can be properly introduced and feel comfortable with one another. In your home, I love to meet pets beforehand so they can become comfortable with me prior to care. I take time to learn their routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent and reliable care while you’re away. For walks and drop-ins, I make sure your pet feels safe and happy during our time together. Whether that’s a structured walk, potty break, playtime, or extra cuddles, I tailor each visit to your pet’s personality and routine.

“Hannah took such great care of my two kitties while I was away. She did drop-in visits and sent me pictures. I could see that they really warmed up to her! She sent me reports and everything went really well. She will be my first choice the next time I go out of town. Thanks Hannah!”

“Susan was our first ever Rover sitter, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Our Ted cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes, so it's comforting to know he's in good hands when we are gone.”

About: I have had experience with dogs the majority of my life and have a beagle of my own! I have helped with taking care of different pets when people I know are on vacation or are busy. I work from home throughout the week and have a flexible schedule. I can also care for your pets before or after work and on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard that is accessible with or without stairs for senior dogs. I am not offering this service at this time.

“Maria did a great job on taking care of our Jo!”

“Thank you again for coming over last minute to take care of Heidi. We know she was so excited to see you again! 🥰 Thank you for taking care of our girl!”
