Dog Sitters in Skokie, IL

Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!

Elly is an absolute gem of a house sitter. She is a very warm and considerate person, and she took excellent care of my apartment and my two pups. She even washed the sheets and cleaned the apartment! She is welcome back into my home anytime, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.

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!

Erin and Nick were great! Belle was content and well taken care of. The house was spotless when I returned. They're welcome back anytime!

The pets all seemed well cared for when we came home. They seemed quite comfortable and we were so happy to see them! We know they were a lot! 2 cats and 2 dogs are no small responsibility, and James & Leah were communicative throughout the entire stay. However, their housekeeping was careless at best. The dogbowl was slimy; something was spilled on the main carpet (it appears to be coffee); the stove doesn't appear to have been cleaned in 3 weeks; a pan has burned-on food; the bedroom was left a mess with unmade bed and towels on the floor; the office desk was cleared to accommodate Leah's work monitors and everything was left sitting on the floor; the desk has food and beverage circles despite available coasters. While I told them there was no need to deep clean, I asked that the house be left as it was found. It most definitely was not. While we're glad Leah and James enjoyed the house during their 3 week stay, we feel they treated our house disrespectfully and we're super disappointed after several wonderful prior zeewoi experiences.

Amanda was great watching my pup for 10 days! She kept me updated and I knew he was well taken care of. Would def recommend :)

Olivia communicated with us prior to her arrival and also during her stay at our home. She took care of our dog and tortoise as well as managing our plants throughout the patio area. She left our home clean.

Carrie is AWESOME! Somehow, no matter how much we clean before leaving, our house always looks cleaner when we return. She definitely goes above and beyond. More importantly, our Mixi is happy to see Carrie and the photos show her completely comfortable (and inviting petting) and eating well. Carrie keeps us updated and at ease with delightful photos and messages. She is the ideal sitter and will continue to be the first we invite when we are going away.

Susan was great! Our kitties were very chill when we got home, thanks to her! Our eldest cat needs medication twice a day and we appreciate that she had no problem doing that. The house was very clean and our garden was thriving. It was obvious that Susan read through the he welcome guide, based upon her thoughtful follow up questions. She also left suggestions for things to do for future sitters. Would have her back in a heartbeat.

Lisa was very thoughtful and well organized. She communicated daily and provided updates and pictures of Seamus and Deegan. Even though I arrived home at 5:30am, she stayed the night and fed the cats so I wouldn’t have to worry about doing it first thing. She was fantastic and I would have her back any time!! Highly recommend

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!

Hannah is hands down my favorite sitter, and always does an amazing job with both the cats and the condo.
