Pet Sitting Albany Park

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets in many different life stages and personalities. I have a 15 year old senior Chihuahua who has been through surgeries and illnesses, and through attentive care, patience, daily walks, and lots of love, she is still healthy, happy, and strong today. I also rescued an adult cat from the street who is now around 3–4 years old. Helping him adjust taught me patience, understanding, and how important it is to make animals feel safe and comfortable. In addition, I have an energetic 8-month-old kitten who keeps me active and experienced with younger pets as well. I am also a runner who’s ran the Chicago marathon, I am prepared to keep up with high energy pups! My pets are truly my family, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals. Under my care, your pets will be treated with the same patience, attention, love, and priority that I give my own. I am available most days of the week for walks and drop-in visits, for house sitting I am mostly available on weekends. I keep my schedule updated daily :) I will care for your pet in your home and always follow your instructions carefully to maintain their normal routine and comfort. I understand how important it is to keep things consistent for animals, so I will make sure to follow all feeding schedules, care notes, and any special directions you provide. I will also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away, including messages, photos, and any important notes about how your pet is doing. My goal is to keep you fully informed and reassured. Most importantly, I will care for your pet in the environment where they feel safest and most comfortable, your home, so they can stay relaxed, secure, and stress-free while receiving attentive and loving care.

“Annabel is fantastic! She took great care of my furball and I am grateful for the nice notes and pics while I was gone. It was nice to come home see a happy kitty, and know he was cuddled and had playtime everyday too. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals. Their loyalty, companionship, and energy make them so special, and they deserve the same care and kindness in return. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have hands on experience raising and caring for both dogs and cats. A little bit about me, I live in the Albany Park area and have my own reliable transportation, so I’m dependable and able to get to your pet when needed. I work freelance, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to adjust to your pet’s routine, whether that’s walks, drop ins, or longer stays. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet. I treat them like my own and take the time to understand their personality and needs. I’m very patient and comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who may need a slower and gentler approach. I also have experience with cats and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and comfort level. Whether your dog or cat loves to be active and go on walks or prefers to stay home and relax, I’m happy to match their energy and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also like to keep owners updated with messages and the occasional cute photo so you can feel at ease while you’re away:) I have a 7 year old Boxer who lives with me. She’s very friendly, loves other dogs, and would be happy to have some company. I’m easy to get along with, responsible, and always do my best to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. If there’s anything specific your pet needs, I’ll always try my best to accommodate. I’d love to be a great match for your furry friend! My work is freelance, so I’m not always tied to a fixed schedule. This means I can plan my day around pet care and be available when your pet needs attention, consistency, or last-minute help. I offer both in-home and at-your-home pet care depending on what works best for you. My home has a secure fenced backyard and is close to a large park for walks and playtime. I also have space available for a crate if your pet needs it, ensuring they stay comfortable and safe during their stay.

“Parisa did a fabulous job taking care of our pet bunnies. She followed all the instructions and took a great care of our bunnies. She is detailed oriented, caring and a very punctual. We would definitely reach out to her again in the future. Totally recommend her.”

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: *ABOUT ME* One of my favorite parts of childhood was naming my pet cats (from “Princess Kate” to “Snowball,” the options were endless!). As a shy child visiting friends’ houses, you would find me spending the time in the company of the resident pets. Now, I love befriending people too, but my love for animals never left me. It brings me joy to be with animals and show them my love! Whether that means stroking their noses, keeping litter boxes clean, or patrolling hairballs. I am highly observant and will adjust to your pets’ energy level and personality. I will eagerly play hide-and-seek or tag with your dog or cat in the yard or sit and bird-watch through an open window. (And, while I’m not a professional singer, cats seem to like my vibrato). :) *Older Adult Care & Special Skills* In my personal life, my experience in older adult care means I am naturally attentive, gentle, and highly patient. I am respectful of following routines and instructions, making me a perfect fit for senior pets who need a slower pace, comfort, and extra patience. I am fully comfortable following exact food schedules and watching over multiple cats at once. *Your Home and Trust* I treat your pets and your home with respect. I am highly communicative and will enjoy sending pictures to brighten your day. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I am free after 3pm on weekdays, free all day on Wednesdays, and all-day on weekends. I am available to house sit on weekends and after 3pm on weekdays. During house visits or drop-ins, I will carefully follow instructions and make sure the doors are locked when I enter/leave. I will respect your space and make sure animals are safely settled in the right place before leaving. I will ensure dog collars are secure before stepping outdoors and keep dogs on leash at all times when outdoors.
