Pet Sitter in Deerfield, Illinois

I'm an
Individual
About Me: I'm Helen, I have been a pet and house sitter since 1998, and I love it! I'm trustworthy, mature, have lots of experience with every size and temperament of dog and cat, so if you're looking for a 100% reliable pet sitting pro in Deerfield, Lake Forest, Northbrook, Bannockburn, Glencoe, or Highland Park, I offer in-the-home, overnight, and long-term care of your pets, home and property. Just send me a text at 847-772-... and I'll respond ASAP. What Can I Do For You and Your Pets? Plenty! More than 20 years ago I did my first in-home dog sitting gig and since then I have cared for a wide variety of dogs and cats, all ages, breeds, shapes and sizes. I can oversee your dog or cat's health issues, administer medications and supplements, prepare custom foods, do daily grooming, reinforce basic training, provide play time and walks, stay with your pets overnight (and all day too!), water the plants, do light housekeeping, and even "scoop the poop" while you're away. Basically I will go above and beyond to do what your pet needs to stay in the comfort of your home and avoid boarding at a kennel or the vet. What About Other Animals/Exotics? I'm a former horse owner, and though I no longer ride, I have experience with basic equine care, such as currying, cleaning hooves, feeding hay and grain, and turnout. I am also familiar with common equine health issues so I can keep an eye out for potential trouble if you are away for an extended period. I can also care for most exotic pets. The exceptions are insects / tarantulas, parrots, and primates, since I have little to no experience with them. But reptiles (including snakes, I'm not afraid of them), amphibians, mice, rats, guinea pigs, ferrets, hamsters, gerbils, and tropical / betta / koi / goldfish are all within my experience and I will gladly care for them. How to Schedule? Send me a text at 847-772-... with the dates you need me and the suburb in which you live. I will promptly set up a time to come to your home, meet you and your pets, go through my caregiving checklist, and do a walk-through of your pets' routine and your expectations. My rates are based on a per diem and the number of pets. If you think you need an exceptional level of quality care for your dog, cat, pets and home, please reach out. And thanks for reading!

Betty H

Helen Montgomery makes going on vacation a breeze! She is extremely reliable and does extra things like offering airport drop off and pickup, making the house look lived in, turning lights on and off (holiday lights as well), mail pick up, light snow removal, taking note of water issues in crawl spaces, and even washing towels and sheets for a fresh feel and look when you return from vacation. If you have pets, she is well versed in administering medications, dealing with bandages or dog wounds, reinforcing puppy house training, playtime, and much more. You won't have to think about a thing if you use Helen as your house/pet sitter.
