House Sitting in Bellwood

Ola gave our nervous and needy dog her full care and attention, trying what she could to make sure she was walking and eating. She sent photos as well! Thank you, Ola!

Our cocker spaniel Ripley is 15+ years old mostly deaf and not sure he sees very well. Our sitter of many years moved out of state. I wanted him to remain in his home where he feels comfortable. Diane was a godsend, she came to meet him before vacation and I knew immediately she was the one to watch Ripley and our home. She got down on the floor to get to know him. He does not always take to people right away but he did to Diane. While we were gone I received daily updates and pictures. I didn't think I would want them since I never got any from my previous sitter, but I started to look forward to them after the first day. I also liked having Diane stay at our house. The house was so clean when we came home. She also cared for our cat. As long as Ripley is alive and Diane is still pet sitting I can vacation knowing my dog and home are in good hands.

Miguel is the best!

Pets were happy and calm when we arrived home, house was clean and mail brought in. I believe Aimee even watered my potted plants outside. Thank you!

Klaudia was communicative, responsive, and cared for Honey just as we asked her too. We appreciated her regular messages with pictures.

Wow! Where do I even begin? This woman is truly an angel on earth. She deserves all the praise and respect, not only did she take excellent care of our Duke- she also tidied up the house, made us dinner and breakfast for when we got home. My husband and I went to my grandfathers funeral and Gail reached out with pictures, videos, and provided a sense of comfort during this incredibly difficult time. We don’t have any family in IL and honestly now consider Gail to be a member of our family. Thank you thank you Miss Gail for your kindness, generosity and patience these last few days. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this woman. She is a true kind person!

Malcomn was a great sitter! He stayed in our home caring for our 5 year old Rottweiler for 3 days after a meet and greet a couple of days before the booking date. He was on time, left detailed updates twice a day with pictures, and even brought all of our packages inside that were delivered (Christmas season). I would definitely book Malcolm again to care for our dog. Overall it was a great experience!

Jamie was absolutely wonderful and helped us feel at peace on our trip. We will definitely be a repeat customer! Super clean, respectful, polite and our pets clearly loved her. Thank you so much, we’re so happy we found a pet sitter we can trust.

Ashley took amazing care of my super high energy Belgian Sheepdog with separation anxiety. I needed to travel and was really worried about ensuring my dog would be cared for. Herding breeds like Belgian Sheepdogs tend to be very attached to their person and will do anything to be reunited with them. For a high intelligence and high energy breed, the prolonged isolation of a traditional kennel would caused severe stress. I was very thankful that Ashley brought my dog into her home and allowed him to be with other dogs, especially her own, as being with a pack and having playmates helps to alleviate the stressors of separation. Ashley sent lots of photos throughout the day and took super good care of him. I think my dog might have even been a bit sad to leave her company and playmates! 🤣

I hired Catherine for a second time to house sit for my pets. She was wonderful. I got updates and pictures and my apartment was just as I left it, maybe even cleaner. My pets were super happy and well cared for. Thank you Catherine!

Dorothy stayed with our Labrador Retriever, Koa, for several days while we were out of the country. Everything was great! She was able to spend lots of time at home with Koa, keeping more or less the same routine that Koa has when we’re here. She also sent a few updates with pics. When we arrived back, the house was just as we had left it. Such peace of mind to find someone you trust with your “furry child” and your home! Dorothy’s terrific.

Holly was wonderful. She took wonderful care of our animals and our home while we were out of town. She was flexible with changing travel schedules, communicated often, and provided us with picture updates of the babies. We will absolutely look forward to hiring her again next time we are out of town!

Joyce was great. She followed all my instructions, sent constant updates and pictures, and genuinely cared for my dogs. I’ll definitely have Joyce dog sit again.

Rita arrived promptly at our meet and greet. She answered all my questions and seemed sweet with my dogs. I truly appreciated the pictures and text messages the day of the dog sitting . It was a full day from 10-5p and my pups were well cared for. When I came home, the house was spotless, just as I left it that morning and my dogs were sleeping happily in their beds. Thank you Rita. I will keep you on my list of dog sitters and use you again.
