About

We are an in-home pet or house service that serves all southwest, northwest suburbs of Chicago. Debating on location upon asking, I may be able to open to new locations. We are located in a house at Unincorporated Elgin and we will travel to surrounding suburbs such as Arlington Heights, Algonquin, South Elgin but travel often to Naperville, Lisle, Downers Grove, Bolingbrook, Oakbrook, Burr Ridge, Rolling Meadows, Evanston, North Brook, Des Plaines.

I love connectiing with people and animals. Animals are my true love and making them feel safe while their family is away is very important to me and my team.

    Danielle has been watching our cats and home for at least four years. She does a great job. The cats love her and the house is always clean when we return.

    Dani came over to meet our dogs in advance. She bonded well with both of our dogs. One dog needed a lot of medication for lupus and all was done well. We were very happy with their care. We hired them several times and would still be using their service but both dogs passed away last year

    Frequently asked questions

    Team Care is here to care for your family, two & four legged! I would to chat with you first, ensure we are a good fit then make steps to meet and greet! I typically would like a phone/text, then meet in person to get a full home tour and become trusted in the family!

    I have been a foster care coordinator, I have had had dogs and cats my entire life, as well as hamsters, birds, and even horse... OH MY! I trained my dogs very well due to love, time, and being supportive. I am a therapist who connects with love and animal connection.

    HOUSE-SITTER FEES Independent Contractors: All house-sitting staff is completed by me personally. 

    ● As an independent contractor, there will not be taxes withheld from your paychecks. Unless we discuss taxes and how we want to do it. I normally just accept Check, Cash, Zelle, or Venmo. 

    House-Sitter Overnight Fee The base rate paid to the house-sitter for each night of house-sitting is $40 for one cat, $50 for one dog. (If you have one of each it will be $55 for 24 hours)

    Additional Pets: There is an extra fee given to house-sitters for each additional animal in the home. 

    ● For each additional dog after the first there is an added fee of $10 per dog 

    ● For each cat there is an additional $5 per cat 

    ● For any other animals, there is an additional $3 fee per animal (gerbil, rabbit, etc.) 

    EXAMPLE: If a house-sitter is doing a house-sit in a household with two dogs and one cat, their overnight rate would be $50 (40.00 base rate PLUS $5 for additional dog PLUS $3 for additional cat) 

    Other Visits: If you are doing any midday visits or other visits for the client, you will be paid an extra fee. 

    ● The base rate for a 25-minute midday visit is $10.00 for one dog. 

    ● There are additional surcharges paid to walkers for additional dogs, or visits occurring outside of our regular service hours (9am-5pm Monday-Friday). 

    Holiday Fees: House-sitting or daily visits on a holiday incur a surcharge. 

    ● “Regular Holidays”. For house-sitting on a regular holiday (Easter, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day) house-sitters receive an additional fee of $15. 

    ● “Premium Holidays”. For house-sitting on a premium holiday (Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day) house-sitters receive an additional fee of $25. 

    ● If the house-sitter has taken any of the midday 25-minute visits there is an extra surcharge of: 

    ○ $10 per visit for a regular holiday. 

    ○ $ 5 per visit for a premium holiday. 

    Tips: Service Companies strongly encourage clients to tip their sitters. Clients may tip walkers directly, or add it to their bill for their services. This is a job of love, compassion, time, and taking care of animals or houses that is a huge responsibility for someone to leave someone else in charge of. I personally take it very seriously because I know how it feels and only want comfort while your family is away. I promise to keep the animal(s) and house safe. I always ask for emergency vet’s, a close neighbor, or family/friend nearby for contact numbers just in case of an emergency. 

    This all started with love and missing animals. I missed having a small zoo at my house and starting house/pet sitting. I been doing this for 15 years, and started to do it more often and then saw I was so busy I needed help! Its about love for animals! 

    I have worked with many different customers, couples, singles, families, zoos! We are a family here and willing to make our family grow and welcome yours to ours!

    I am also a foster mother when I see a dog with anxiety and behavioral issues. . . I have fostered 17 dogs since July who all have amazing families and I see welcome back to my home for sitting and dog care! My last dog was one of hardest but best success stories!! She had anxiety, could not be alone from people or dogs, she could not find love until she had her furever home after 3 months! NEVER GIVE UP! 

    Always ask for experience, photos, and past people they have worked with. Trust and honest is the most important thing, so how can we keep your family safe and feel comfortable while your gone?

    ER contacts, family near by? Allergies? What does your dogs/cats/pets love and hate?
