“Molly did drop-in visits for my cat Maizie while I was out of town and she was great! Maizie can be shy and anxious with new people and Molly was very patient with her. Molly was also willing to administer Maizie's daily oral medication (and to build the necessary trust with Maizie to do so), which was very important to me. I also appreciated how communicative Molly was and how quickly she responded to questions I had while I was away. I would definitely recommend Molly for cat-sitting/cat care!”

“Calvin and Monica took such good care of my cats and went above and beyond. They used slippers when entering the home and were so thoughtful about clean-up and communication. My AC unit broke when I was away and they let me know right away, which allowed me to reach out to family to get it looked at. I ended up having to cancel the remaining days as a result of broken AC unit (too hot to leave the kitties there) and they didn’t charge me for those days. They even found a way to waive cancellation fee! I’m so grateful for their thoughtfulness and care.”

About: I have taken care of dogs for the last 3 years. This includes my own dog, family, & friends dogs. I love dogs of all sizes! They are such a joy to watch and play with! I am currently available to watch dogs on a full-time basis. I am excited to play with and take care of your dog while you are away. I care for dogs in their home because that is their safe space. It is important to build trust with them especially when first meeting them. I am coming into their home so they need to trust me.

“Angela helped us last minute while I was out of town and my partner was busy. She was very communicative and kind. Our pup had to take some medication and she did well with that. Many thanks for your help!”

About: I have loved pets since I was a kid. I was obsessed with learning about them. After my first pet died, I was very motivated on learning about how to offer pets the very best life, and this comes through research! I have worked with a variety of animals. Working at PetSmart allowed me to get a better hands on experience as it opened a door to working with cats, sick animals who needed medication, and working with large numbers of pets. This also helped me see what methods worked and what methods to avoid when taking care of our beloved pets. I have a very flexible schedule and will be available for you and your pets. I don’t have a set schedule yet due to work and school. Safety is my top priority. You know your pet best, I will work with what I have and incorporate new techniques and ideas once your pet trusts me. I have a porch that is safe meanwhile my garage is being built at the moment.

About: My pet care journey began at age 12, when I started dog sitting for my aunt while she was out of town. From then on, I knew caring for animals was something I genuinely enjoyed. I don’t just walk dogs or feed cats—I build real connections with every animal I care for. My approach is rooted in patience, attentiveness, and understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe and loved while their people are away. I also prioritize communication with pet parents—daily updates, photos, and check-ins are always part of the package. I currently have a sweet gray cat named Nala, but I’ve always had a soft spot for dogs—and I can’t wait to share my care and attention with more of them! Whether you need daily walks or extended stays, my open availability makes planning easy and stress-free. I am available for both last-minute bookings and regular care routines. When I’m caring for pets in someone else’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I would my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident that both your pet and home are in good hands. I always follow any instructions closely, maintain consistent routines, and provide regular updates—so you’re never left wondering how things are going. You can trust that your furry family member—and your home—will be treated with care, professionalism, and integrity.

About: I’ve taken care of dozens of pets and completed over 1000 services including Sitting and dog walkings. That includes any dogs and cats with sick ailments and otherwise difficult parameters. I’ve also worked at a pet shop before so if you have a particular concern or need for a pet feel free to ask never hurts. I usually walk a mix of different dogs, depending on the week usually larger breeds that are difficult to handle, but I also work with smaller pets that are shy, including cats. I also deal with a sub category of pets that are on medication or older. I have experience with a number of different pets and medication along with certain ailments so feel free to ask me any questions you may have. When it comes to the settings, I usually go off instructions provided by the pet parent as specific as possible to avoid not meeting their requirements. I also tend to act very courteous as most pet parents have a camera so I’m always acting like I’m being watched on TV. It’s better that way, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

“Perla watched my two kitties over Christmas. She sent lots of pictures and did a great job with my very shy cat who needs meds.”

About: Hi! I am currently a receptionist at an animal hospital located in Bucktown/Wicker Park. I have worked as a dog handler, or what we refer as a pack leader, at a doggy daycare located in the West Loop neighborhood in the past for over two years. I am certified in canine first aid, and I usually spend around 8-9 hours a day with medium to big dogs and also cats. I have gained a lot of experience by spending time with dogs that have different behaviors, from friendly to aggressive, I have not faced any issues with dogs yet. I have also spent time around dogs that require special care, so that would definitely not be an issue with me. Overall, I am always willing to spend time with doggies, even friends call me the dog whisperer :)
