Dog Sitters in Barrington, IL

Claire and Rosemary were perfect! Given that I had had a very bad experience with housesitters a month before their sit, I was more apprehensive than I've been. But from our initial interview I knew they would be great. I feel badly that I left the house in the handover in slight disorder, with the festive season and packing to go abroad as well as cleaning up from the privious housesitters who did a lot of damage, I wasn't able to handover to Claire and Rosemary the way I would normally do so, with a full guide and instructions written out, a spotless house etc. But with all of that and given the sit wasn't very long, Claire and Rosemary did incredibly well! I managed to run through everything the morning I left with them in person, they were communicative and helpful, gave me regular updates and left the place clean and the animals well cared for. I felt relieved when I got back, it was a very nice feeling. I highly recommend them, I'm sorry we didn't get more time to chat and get to know each other, the fesitve season was particularly chaotic this year. I would gladly have them back if they were available!

Ron recently sat for a last minute work trip. He was wonderful. He was flexible, kind, and very communicative. Most importantly, he was great with my anxious pup. I would absolutely recommend Ron!

Kelsey was absolutely wonderful - I was a little apprehensive at first, as I have never used zeewoi before, but Kelsey put my mind at ease immediately. We had a phone call before the sit, which made me feel a lot more at ease, and I couldn’t have asked for a better house and pet sitter. She was polite and great to communicate with - she sent me lots of pictures of my kitten Oliver, who looked like he was having a great time with her! - and she kept the house in wonderful condition during her 10 day stay. I am so thankful to her for staying at my home and looking after my little kitten, I could not recommend Kelsey any more highly.

Carlos and Charles took care of our senior partially blind Boston terrier and our senior pet rat for a long weekend. They were great about meeting everyone’s needs with different food and exercise schedules. They even took extra care of our plants. We loved the photos and updates that they sent and our home was spotless and tidy when we returned home. We would recommend them as sitters!

Maya was extremely warm and engaging with our 2 dogs. She took good care of our house and communicated regularly with updates and pictures. We were fortunate to spend the first evening with her before we left to get to know this kind, bright and creative person. I highly recommend Maya and really hope she can come care for our dogs again.

Luna here reporting that Amie was 5 star in every way! She even took me on a field trip walk to Pet Smart and bought some treats. (Gail never thought to do this!) Anyway, we would be delighted to have Amie come back for a visit when she is in Chicago or a sit!

Thanks to Jennifer & Mark for providing excellent care to my fur babies during their stay here. I returned to a very clean house and two very content kitties. My instructions were followed to the letter. I would recommend them to any potential clients.

Brittany was wonderful! She sent me cute picture updates of moose while I was away, and when I came home, my house was spotless and clean, just like I left it! She treated my dog and my home like it was her own, and I would be happy to have her back anytime!

Kate and Dimitry were top notch ! They took excellent care of our 3 dogs - that’s right - 3. They sent adorable photos and informative notes regularly, as we had requested. They walked and loved our pups above and beyond. Dimitry and Kate left our home very clean. They even let us know if anything seemed awry, although luckily nothing serious came up but they were completely communicative. We would have them back in a hot second. 

From the start I knew I could count on Jaime. She was responsive and easy to coordinate. Immediately Duke warmed up to her and was excited to play! Thanks Jaime! Would have her back anytime.

Sarah was fantastic taking care of my large anxious dog! She was very communicative and asked questions as things came up. She even got him to walk farther than he is used to because of his anxiety! I came back to a tidy apartment and a happy dog. What more can you ask for? I would love to Sarah again to hang out with Bubbles while I'm away!

Aycil took wonderful care of our pets and our home and left everything spotless and clean when we got back—we'd definitely have her back!
