House Sitting Winnetka

About: I've been taking care of multiple different kinds of furry 4 legged friends since I was 9 years old. I excel in care for senior dogs, as well as special care for pups and kittens up to 4 weeks old! My services include routine check-ins, walks, overnight stays with your fur baby, administering medication both oral and topical in addition to pre-scheduled vet visits for any older pups, and bottle feeding, scheduled naps/play times, and triggering for younger dogs and cats. I'm currently unemployed and attending Pierce College, so my hours are slightly limited but flexible enough to move things around if need be. I have classes on Mondays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and take my mother to her appointments on Wednesdays. I can do check-ins on Tuesdays and Thursday-Sundays, day sitting on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and overnight stays Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Contact me for specific times and extended stays! Unfortunately I live in an apartment at the moment, with a limit on the amount of pets allowed in one living space. Any services I provide will have to take place in or around the client's domicile.

“Jeni was wonderful. She's quick to respond - sends great pics, videos, and updates - and seems to know/understand dogs really well. We felt very comfortable with her staying at our home with our puppy.”

“Ariana is our favorite sitter for our cat, Remy. She’s very communicative and provides great updates while we’re away. Our place always looks better than we left it and our cat is always well-cared for when we return.”

“Leyla did an amazing job with my dog while I was out of town. She’s so caring and gave him so much love that I could see he was missing her. She updated me with pictures and videos every day plus all the activities and routine during the days. She followed all my instructions. I couldn’t ask for more. She left my place tidy and super clean. She became Pablito’s official dog sitter 🐶 Thank u Leyla for all your love and caring for him!”

About: I have 3 dogs at home, two small and one large. I have had dogs all my life and I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes! I understand the importance of the first time meeting a dog and will be patient until they feel comfortable around me. I have worked with rescues before saving dogs from the streets which is where I learned a lot of my dog skills as well. I love my walks with my dogs and would love to walk yours! I do currently work full time but I am available after 5:00 PM Monday - Friday and all day on the weekends. I hope to get to meet your dog or dogs soon! I currently work full-time but am available for evening walks after 5 PM on Monday - Friday. On the weekends, I am available all day! I have experience dog sitting and always follow the instructions the owner has left for me. I am a guest in the home and always make sure I am on top of all my duties. I triple check everything is the way it should be prior to heading out the door to ensure the comfort and safety of my clients pet.

“Sanaz took care of our two dogs with so much care while staying at our house. She also watched over our bearded dragon and three leopard geckos, making sure their lights were on and off when they were supposed to be and their water topped up. I would have her in our home again! I felt very safe with her care and attention to all. Thank you, Sanaz!”

About: I have always enjoyed being around animals ever since I was a little kid. I have owned and cared for rabbits, dogs, fish, turtles and parakeets. I work full time as an educator so most of the year I am only available weekends. However I am currently available during weekdays due to spring break. I would be happy to care for your pet in my home or at your home if that is your preference. I have one dog at home which would be kept in a different area.

“Alondra was great. She took excellent care of my dogs and my home, and followed all instructions. My dogs love her, including my picky chi-pug that usually is a bit more standoffish. I can tell she give them lots of attention and love!”

Nina E.

“Bruna was absolutely amazing with my cat Carl and French Bulldog Daisy. I needed a sitter with less than 24 hours’ notice over the Fourth of July holiday, and she stepped in without hesitation. At the time, Daisy had just undergone surgery and required constant supervision along with medication administration. B handled everything flawlessly and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She sent frequent updates, photos, and messages, which meant so much given Daisy’s condition. Most importantly, it was obvious that both Carl and Daisy adored her. You can tell when someone genuinely loves animals, and they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for in her hands. I would not hesitate to book Bruna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter.”

“Madelyn is now our 4-mo-old puppy's favorite person! She gave up her Thanksgiving to stay with Ziggy at our house, but it wasn't just a "stay." Madelyn played with her and give her so much love and attention. It was just what Ziggy needed and we were so happy to trust her with our puppy! We're also very happy that Madelyn will be coming back to stay with Ziggy again in a couple of weeks. Thank you, Madelyn!”

Esther G.

“We had a great experience with Geena. She took excellent care of both of our Labradors, Pilón and Clark. Clark is a young, energetic puppy with plenty of antics, and she handled him very well. It was clear that she knew how to work with dogs and how to manage his energy and enthusiasm appropriately. She also did a great job with Pilón, making sure both dogs were well looked after and had plenty of playtime and interaction. We felt confident leaving them in her care and appreciated her professionalism and experience. We would happily trust her with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable pet sitter.”

Linda T.

“Shanneal is a fantastic sitter - she took care of our two puppers, one of whom can be challenging and needs some specific care, for a couple nights at our house. She sent lots of pictures and did a great job making sure the doggies were happy. Highly recommend!”

“Anthony did an amazing job caring for our dog and our home. Our dog is very shy but he took the time to build a great relationship with her. He even bathed her and left the house spotless! He provided is updates during our trip and really did an amazing job. We would love to have him watch her again in the future!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs through sitting and boarding for friends and family, providing a safe, loving, and dependable environment while their owners are away. I make sure every dog is well taken care of by keeping them fed, active, and happy with daily walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters and fostered dogs in need, giving me experience with different breeds, personalities, and care needs. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently work on building my at-home business, which gives me the flexibility and availability to dedicate quality time to dog walking, sitting, and boarding. I’m able to provide dogs with consistent attention throughout the day, including walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of care and companionship to ensure they feel comfortable and well looked after. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable, secure, and cared for at all times. In my home, I make sure pets have a calm space to relax, regular potty breaks, daily walks, playtime, fresh water, and feeding schedules that match their routine. I always pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy level, and specific needs to help them feel at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines and instructions to keep their pets comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, boarding, or overnight care, I prioritize safety, communication, cleanliness, and making sure every pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and proper care.
