Dog Sitters in Riverdale, IL

Anyah was nothing short of amazing! Great communicator, showed up two days early just to get the lay of the land and to meet Karma. Even worked around a change in my schedule. If you’re lucky enough to have Anyah apply for a sit for you, confirm her right away!

Let it be known throughout the village that Sir Kai saved Damsel Shelley from the Evil Silver Monster. . .and Shelley took the attack on her insulated lunch bag in stride. She is absolutely delightful, and we had a lovely time on my return chatting about the boys, Chicago, and the world over a glass of wine. I suspect Shelley makes instant friends with a lot of people! She's also the teacher I wish I had for math classes in hight school. The boys very quickly connected with Shelley, and escorted her to various chairs and the patio. Kai showed zero respect for personal space from the pics, which is always fun to see! Shelley's demeanor is relaxed with very positive energy, and the boys gravitate to that. When I came home, they really didn't care that I had arrived! I highly recommend Shelley - she connects well with pets and people, and it's easy to feel everything is safe and sound.

Alana and Erik were easy to communicate with and took great care of our pups and house! We are so appreciative and would have them back anytime.

Alex and Ryann were incredible! They included our Calvin in so many fun hikes and adventures! He has so much fun and they constantly kept us updated with pictures and texts. We would definitely welcome them back again! ☺️

Jake was responsible, self-sufficient, communicative, and thoughtful with his questions throughout the whole stay, which I really liked. He had asked prior to the sit what kind of updates I would prefer and how often. I asked for everyday and he delivered! He provided a couple updates and pictures every day. My home looked exactly as I left it - wouldn’t even know someone had stayed! Haha. Jake is welcome to come back and sit again.

Alex was very organised and communicated well in advance of, and during, the sit. He came the evening before we left so it was nice to get to know him a bit then. He sent us daily updates, which were really appreciated. We came back to a clean, tidy house and a happy cat ? I would recommend Alex and happily have him sit Pepe again.

Patricia and Tyler took care very well to our kitties during this Christmas. We felt reassured that we left our house in a good hand. They sent us updates and pictures of our cats from time to time and kept the house cleaned and tidied. They are a lovely couple that loved cats and animal in general. Thank you again and best wishes.

Joe was a great sitter. I appreciated his daily photos and reports. He took care of a tomato plant and it was doing well. He was easy to communicate with and the house was beautiful when we got back. All the things you hope for in a sitter? That’s Joe.

Rosalyn was amazing! I was lucky to have her apply to my short-notice listing. She responded quickly and we were able to get on a call in short order. During our chat she communicated clearly, answered all my questions, and was just generally easy to talk to so we established a good rapport right away. We were able to meet for a walk-through and hand-off before I left for my trip and she was very attentive to all my instructions and absorbed all the information well, asking questions to clarify things as needed. During the sit she kept me updated daily, as requested, and reached out for clarification when needed. When I got back home the cat was more alive then I left him and my place looked like I'd only stepped out for 3 hours not 3 days. This is the kind of experience I hope to have with all the sitters I work with. I would highly recommend Rosalyn if you need a friendly, clean, and responsible sitter!

Grace was a wonderful pet sitter for my two dogs! By the time she left, the pups were in love with her! She also took fantastic care of the house and ensured everything was sparkling clean upon my return. Grace watched our dogs while I was completely out of service on the Grand Canyon and I knew I could trust her from the very start and had nothing to worry about, even though I was basically impossible to get in touch with. Grace handled everything with grace and ease. She was kind, thoughtful, communicative, and kept the dogs very active! Can't recommend her enough. Thank you Grace!!

Liilia and Vladislav took care of our dog and cats over the weekend and everything was great. Liliia was easy to communicate with before the sit and I never worried about the animals. The house was left clean and tidy and the pets happy. We would not hesitate to use them again.

Juliette was great. My dog and cat immediately took to her, to the point where they seemed disappointed when I came home. She was able to follow the special requests that I had for the dog perfectly, and sent regular updates by text. If anything, my dog seemed to be better behaved after a weekend with Juliette than I have ever been able to get him to be (not that I'm miffed about that...). Thanks Juliette, you would be welcome back here any time.
