House Sitting in Woodlawn, Chicago

“Emily was great with my senior pup, Bailey! She kept me updated and sent great photos the entire time I was out of town. On top of the great care she took with both Bailey and my place, she was amazingly flexible and able to extend her stay when we had to stay out of town an extra day. Definitely recommend Emily and plan to book again with her!”

“They were AWESOME! Immediately we hit it off talking about our mutual interests. My dog gets a bit hyper but Levi was able to demonstrate techniques to calm him down and quickly. Once I left they sent me regular updates and I never had to worry about whether or not my kitten and dog were in good hands. I really appreciate the time and effort they put into making sure I was updated. I’ve never used Rover but I definitely will again. I also will definitely be using Levi. Thank you so much for everything!”

“Jasmine exceeded our expectations caring for our 3 dogs and 1 cat over the long weekend. She was incredibly communicative, regularly sending updates and photos which put our minds at ease. Our animals seemed happy and well taken care of upon our return. We highly recommend Jasmine for anyone in need of reliable and loving pet care!”

“Chijioke is one of the most caring and empathetic caregivers I have ever met. My cat easily fell in love and felt safe around them for cuddles and play times. They took extra care to make sure she and her litter space were clean. As well as training her on what are her dedicated spaces versus where she's not allowed like in the bathroom tub lol They have been super helpful in guiding me on how to be a better pet parent every time we meet. Very grateful to have them as my and my cat's best friend!”

“Nicole is awesome. She stayed with our pups over 6 days in our home. She followed all our instructions and treated the pups like her own. She catered to their individual personalities and needs. Awesome communication and lots of photos. Nicole continued caring for the dogs even though she got sick that weekend. She left our place spotless. Highly recommend!”

“My cat sitter cancelled on me at the last minute. But as it turns out I was meant to find Belicia. She took excellent care of my girl Zuri. Belicia was communicative, kind, and followed all instructions. She sent me messages and photos to absolve any worry and it didn't take long for my anti-social kitty to take to her. Having her care for Zuri was such a peace of mind. When I came back home, I realize that everything worked out as it should have. This is the beginning, as I will be scheduling with Belicia again.”

“Shakira is the absolute best and just a amazing lady! This was my first time hes I g him with a stranger. Both she and Benzo fell in love with each other and he was looking sad when she left. She took good care of my boy and kept me updated on his activities during the day. Couldn’t ask for a better experience or sitter for my puppy. Do not hesitate ti book her if she’s available; you won’t regret it I promise. She is a dog whisperer!!?”

“Simply amazing. We recieved many updates, and came home to a happy and healthy dog and apartment in great condition. Would happily recommend have watch our dog again.”

“Jacky was wonderful! So quick and easy to communicate and set up a meet and greet with. We needed dog sitting for a weekend. Our dogs are reactive to people and after explaining this to Jacky, she was up for seeing if it will work. My dogs took to her very quickly!! We got updates and pictures, including how well they were acclimating to her! We can’t thank her enough and will definitely be booking her services again!”

“Emma and Emily were easy to work with. They are professional, courteous, friendly, and clearly love being with dogs. They took excellent care of our senior dog, and it was clear that she was very happy to be with them. I would definitely use them again.”

About: I am an artist and former dog owner with experience working as a private dog sitter since high school. I love pets immensely, and am so excited to meet yours! Every dog I get to greet is a gift, and I treat them as such. Through my own experience as a dog owner, and diverse experience with other dogs, I have learned a lot that I get to bring to these new situations. I know how vital calmness can be, and keep myself patient. I know every dog is different, so please share everything you can about your animal and all their quirks! Getting to interact with animals is so much fun and so fulfilling, I wish to spend more of my time doing it when I can. I currently work from home, so my schedule is incredibly flexible! I'm available for walks throughout the week and can stay with your fur baby as need be. I like to keep the care of your pet as close as possible to their normal routine, so please keep that information clearly written out if possible, or we can talk through it together.
