About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, including a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Pitbull mix, so I’m very comfortable with both large and high-energy breeds. I also have experiences with extended stay puppy sitting where I managed feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and creating a calm, structured environment. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are, especially with puppies. I’m currently preparing to welcome a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very intentional about creating safe, positive experiences for dogs. I work Monday through Friday but my partner is currently home all day, so someone will always be there to care for your dog! We are open to boarding any night. Walks I am primarily available after work or sometimes the morning before. My partner is currently available most anytime! We are both reliable and detail oriented. We are prepping to bring in our very own golden retriever puppy, so will treat your dog as if they are our own! As mentioned above I work Mon-Friday roughy 8-4. My partner is currently home throughout the day so someone will always be there to care for your dog. We are open to boarding almost any day especially weekends where we are both home. Walks and drop ins work best for me before work hours or after but my partner has open availability so between us we can accommodate to you! Feel free to ask if you have any specific availability questions! :) Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and am very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and safety during walks and care. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing a safe and positive experience. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always feel confident and connected while your dog is in my care.
“Justice is great! She is reliable, friendly, and sent thorough updates and pictures while checking in on Cooper. Everything went super smoothly and we'd be happy to work with her again!”

“Hao was an exceptional sitter! For a long stretch she came twice a day and got along beautifully with Bacco. Trustworthy, great photo updates, and even took care of our plants. All around went above and beyond. Couldn’t recommend her more!! Already looking forward to booking her again. ❤️”


“Robin was so loving and sweet to my very needy cat, as well as professional. During this odd time, she made sure we were comfortable and checked in regarding the current pandemic, which calmed any concerns that we had. Robin always left detailed report cards, followed the instructions to the T, and even watered our very thirsty plants. Very happy to have Robin as our cat sitter! Highly recommend.”
“Thank you Ruby for doing such a great job caring for Dyango! What can I say, you are a kind spirit and it shows in your love of animals. To be able to leave our dog is such good care, really put my mind at ease. Thanks!”I highly recommend her”

About: I currently have two cats whom I love and devote lots of my time to! I have also grown up with several dogs and small pets that have given me the experience of performing a variety of different tasks and responsibilities. I am a researcher at Lincoln Park Zoo and am switching to part-time work for the fall, so I have a great amount of flexibility in my schedule. For drop-in visits, I am capable of doing whatever is needed (crating, feeding, playing, etc.). I have experience walking difficult dogs who would rather walk me instead, so I am confident I can manage that, as well as putting on a harness/leash. :-)

About: Having grown up on a farm with 38 horses, minimum of 5 dogs at a time and too many cats to count, caring for and loving animals of all sizes has been a major part of my life. I’ve trained both dogs and horses and cared for all kinds of critters. When friends or family need a trusted person to care for or train their pet, I am the first person they call. My main job schedule can vary, but I am available most days of the week. Because I work in mental health and create my own schedule, I will like have random times available to drop in and take care of your pets. Outside of having to care for my own Rottweiler, Maya, I can care for your pet in between. I am able to take your dog on a walk, reinforce training, feed them, administer medication and play with them. If you have any other pets, just let me know how I can help and what they may want/need! Whatever your pet needs, I am happy to provide! Of course it is animal specific, but if I am caring for a pup, we can go on walks, play in a yard or inside, cuddle or just hangout peacefully. With any other pets, just let me know how I can show up for them and what else they prefer/need.
“Roy was such an attentive and caring sitter for my two kitties- Milo and Lily. I received plenty of updates and many pictures, I’m so happy to know they were well cared for. Roy went above and beyond for my babies and was very communicative. I look forward to book with them for future sitting needs.”

“I can’t put into words how grateful I am for Marilyn! She always does a fabulous job taking care of my cats and gives me thorough, detailed daily updates so that my mind is at ease while I’m traveling. This time she was also incredibly flexible with me when I got sick on what was supposed to be a long business trip. Keep being you, Marilyn!”

“Jazmin took great care of our kitty Amber, who has chronic kidney disease and needs subq fluids along with other medications. Jazmin was able to give Amber her meds and keep her company while we were gone for almost a week, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Great communcation, flexible, also was able to bring in our packages. All in all, Jazmin was wonderful and would recommend in the future!”
“She is a perfect sitter. My cat definitely enjoyed spending time with her, and she made sure that he was doing well and cleaned up the mess. Amazing sitter and would 100% recommend!!!”

About: Hi! I’m Sasha — a passionate animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve worked in doggy daycares as a handler, bather, and walker, and I’m Pet CPR & First Aid Certified so your pup’s safety and comfort always come first. I work from home as a designer, which means your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I also have a fenced yard and a cozy, dog-friendly home filled with beds, toys, and space to relax. I have a small dog named Nacho who is my sidekick and keeps me on a consistent routine with regular potty breaks, outdoor time, and play sessions throughout the day. Dogs staying with me are treated like family — they’ll have access to water, comfy spaces to rest, toys, and lots of love. I’m happy to accommodate cuddle bugs too — if your pup enjoys sleeping near people, they’ll fit right in here. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where your dog feels comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 I have 1 small dog that is by my side 24/7 during the week. Caring for your pet will fit into my routine nicely. I work as a designer and always home during the week. I usually let my boy Nacho out to play in the morning at 7am, 8am, 11am, 2pm, and 4pm, 6pm and 9:15pm. I usually keep the dogs with me in my area while I work. They have access water, food, beds and toys. I have a bunch of doggy beds and toys 🧸 all around the house. I also don’t mind the dogs sleeping in bed with me. I love to snuggle with the fur babies.
“She was super sweet and took great care of my cat while I was on vacation for a week. She sent the cutest pictures everyday and even when back another time when my travel plans go delayed!”

“Samantha was a great addition to me leaving my pups for a vacation and not having extra anxiety!!! The dogs seemed to love her company and were able to get their potty break during the day without holding it too long. She was patient and very detailed with her updates and pictures during each one of her visits!!! Thanks so much!!!”

“Malcomn took such great care of my cat, Kashi. He was very communicative and sent updates and photos everyday which I thoroughly appreciated. Kashi and I are so grateful for Malcomn’s service!”

Maribel was perfect! I needed someone to administer medication to my cat 3 times a day over a holiday weekend with the least amount of stress possible and my mom was there to witness how professional and punctual she was. My cat Alfie is so thankful that he was was in pawfessional hands while he recovered from his urinary obstruction! ❤️❤️❤️ couldn’t recommend Mari more!

Erin is awesome! I enjoyed my trip so much more knowing my pets were well taken care of. She sends the best pictures that make it very clear how much fun her visits were. I appreciated how communicative, kind, and adaptable she was. Would absolutely recommend Erin to anyone in need of a sitter.

Needed a cat sitter somewhat last minute for a foster cat I'm taking care of. Our foster is still very skiddish around new people but Samantha did a great job and always found her little hiding spots. She was also super accommodating when I asked to adjust the number of drop-ins for the last half of the booking.

Melanie was wonderful with our cat Mino, who is very shy with strangers. She gave him space when he needed it and kept us updated every day with detailed messages. By the end of the stay, they had become good friends, which is a big deal for him! We’d absolutely book her again.
