“Eddie is an amazing sitter! So happy to see and hear that my cat Bean, who’s pretty shy, was able to warm up to Eddie while I was away. Eddie is super attentive and great with communication. I’m also extremely grateful that Eddie was able to water my tomato plant while I was away, too. Overall, I’m grateful for Eddie’s service while I could relax on vacation and will definitely book him again in the future!”


“Nicole is absolutely amazing! Such a joy and relief to know that she was looking after my pup! She was extremely communicative before, during, and after her visit and super friendly. She even brought toys for my dog to play with as well as played games with her! Would be happy to have Nicole watch Luna again!”



“Sydney is wonderful to work with - detail-oriented, reliable, conscientious & a superb communicator. She took great care of my cats and even managed to get the shyest cat (who usually hides from all sitters in terror) to say hello and eat a portion of wet food. Super, super recommend !”


“As a new dog dad and learning as I go finding a sitter has been so nerve racking. Getting in contact with Robert was a life saver. Was very communicative, respectful of my space. My tiny puppy seems to love him. Made me feel comfortable through the visits and shared some cute pics of my fur baby. Would highly recommend and will be booking with him again soon.”


“Anana was brilliant. She sent goofy pics of our little orange boy. There was an issue with our door and she worked with us to work through it. She communicated well and is very reliable. Thank you so much Anana!”



“Mackenzie is wonderful! She took photos of my cats so I could see they were eating...not really an issue, but you know.... She also watered plants and brought in the mail...and during a rainstorm she checked for a leak (older home here) and then txted back and forth to sort out where to find a bucket to catch drips until I got home. I whole- heartedly recommend her.”


“Tetiana was so great, communicative, and responsive! She gave us super detailed updates with tons of pictures so we knew our kitties were well taken care of. We will definitely be working with her again!”



“Allie is very good with my cat. Miss Wednesday is a old crinkly lady and Allie can interact with her and even get pets. I trust Allie while I am away to take care my most precious treasure, my kitty”



“Tiffani was so great with our two cats for drop in feedings. One of my cats is not very nice and they got along just fine and he even let her get a quick pet here and there. They got lots of playtime and pets and I got lots of fun photo and video updates. Thanks Tiffani!!!”


About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong pet lover and totally understand how much your furry friend means to you. I’ve done quite a bit of dog training over the years, so I’m super comfortable with all kinds of animals. When your pet is with me, you can trust they’ll get the same love and attention you’d give them yourself. For house stays, I know it can feel a little strange having someone new in your space. That’s completely normal. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable. During a typical stay, your pet can expect 2 to 3 walks a day, lots of playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I always stay overnight to help your pet feel safe and secure while you're away. If you have small household tasks like taking out the trash or watering plants, I’m happy to help. Just let me know ahead of time so we can plan. A little about me: I’m currently a pet parent to Franklin, my very energetic mini Schnauzer. He’s used to hanging out at home alone for stretches of time, so during house stays I plan to be at your place most of the time. That said, he's very social and if you'd like your dog to have some socialization while away, I'm happy to make arrangements with your permission. I work from home Monday, Tuesday, and Fridays. I am not available for daycare, walks or drop-ins on Wednesday and Thursday. I can be booked for house stays but you dog will need to be able to go for about 8-9 hours without a potty break on those days. This is something I'm happy to discuss before booking. At the end of the day, your peace of mind and your pet’s happiness are what matter most to me. Shoot me a message if you have any questions. I work from home Monday, Tuesday, Friday and have weekend availability. During the work week I'm available for lengthy afternoon walks and playtime. I love taking my dog to the park and am happy to do the same for your pet with advance permission. During the weekend my schedule is flexible to accommodate you with enough advance notice. I have a small fenced in yard and am walking distance to Horner and Welles Park. I have a 3 year old mini schnauzer who is full of sass. He loves other dogs so any animal I bring into my home will need to be ok around other pets. Depending on your pet's needs I have a spare bedroom that I can use to keep you furry friend safe. I also have experience with crate training and am happy to enforce this if requested.

About: My family always had a dog growing up, so im very familiar with them. Then, after I moved out I got cats of my own, and learned how to take care of them too! Im at teacher, so im typically available nights and weekends. I'd be able to come over and provide whatever necessary services after school and on weekends I make sure I respect the pet's boundaries. I never pet a cat or dog first unless I know it's okay and they feel comfortable with it! I've watched dogs and cats at my apartment before, and we always make sure the pets feel safe

About: I treat every pet like family - with patience, love, and lots of belly rubs! What sets me apart is my personalized, compassionate care. From playful pups needing training and fun walks to seniors needing meds and gentle attention - I'm here for it all! Pet care is a joyful part of my routine, and I build my schedule around it. I am available weekends and various weekdays for walks, and drop-ins. Whether it's a puppy needing playtime or a senior dog needing extra care, I'm flexible and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for like family. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, loving space where pets feel safe. With a fenced yard and nearby parks, they'll enjoy playtime, cuddles, and fun adventures - plus personalized care and consistent routines.

About: We’ve had dogs growing up since I was 13. I’m often called by friends and family to take care of their dogs and make sure they get everything they need while they’re away. Including feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them any medication they might be on. I am new to the Chicago area, moving up at the end of June. I’ll have a very flexible schedule while I look for work. I am very patient and loving with pups of all shapes and sizes and age. I am dependable to keep a time schedule for all of your pups needs.

“Mikey did an excellent job caring for our little baby angels (known as cats to some). Prompt communication, flexibility to accommodate our schedule and a stellar rate per visit. Thanks again, Mikey! 10/10 would recommend.”


About: I grew up with at least two cats at all times and am well equipped at taking care of them. Over the past several years I have pet sit for friends, family and acquaintances. I have done drop in visits, walks, and overnight housesitting, usually for two or more pets at once. I care about making your pets feel comfortable and making sure they are well taken care of. I am currently searching for a part or full time job near me so am very open! I will update my availability as it changes. I care about making sure your pets are comfortable, and they and your home are taken care of! I am a respectable guest and caretaker.

“Jade was amazing! I was nervous to leave my cat for a whole week now that i don’t have roommates to look after her but she gave great updates every visit and my cat loved her!”

Jordan A.
“Jordan used to take care of my cat when I needed a pet sitter! At the time, I would drop my cat off with him as she was young, and his cats tolerated her. I would absolutely trust him to come to my apartment to care for all of my current animals at any time. Jordan also fostered one of my previous cats when I was unable to have her due to a living situation, and he took amazing care of her. She was on medication and a special diet at the time, and he made sure she got her meds daily and that she had access to her food but not the other cat's food. Jordan is great with dogs as well! My current dog loves him. Jordan loves being outdoors and would be a great choice to take your pup out for a stroll. He once walked my sister's dog for 2+ hours while she was moving.”


Mayra Y.
“I’m so grateful to Mayra for taking such wonderful care of my beagle while I was away! My dog is super friendly and loves people, and it was clear right away that he absolutely adored Mayra. They truly went above and beyond—whether it was long walks, playtime, or just giving him the affection he’s used to at home. It gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. If you're looking for someone who’s responsible, attentive, and clearly loves dogs, I highly recommend Mayra”
