Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Avalon Park, Chicago, IL

“Coretta has been pet sitting for me for some time now, but specifically for this trip I forgot to make arrangements in advance. I was packing 2 days before I was heading out of town for a week and had a mini panic because I realized I hadn't set up pet care services for while I would be gone. I contacted Coretta and she was so quick to respond and made herself available for me without any guilt. She is such a consistent and reliable pet sitter for me. 15/10 would recommend!”

“I am very glad that Manuela helped with my cats during our vacation. Manuela came before my trip to meet Mia and Aska, and then came on all the appointed days. Sent me photos and videos of them playing together. I can recommend Manuela as an excellent nanny for kittens :)”

About: I currently have a cat, and I grew up taking care of 3 cats and a dog. I also have significant experience taking care of both my family's pets and petsitting for neighbors and friends. I have reliably walked, fed, and taken care of cats and dogs and always prioritize the animals' happiness. I am currently working remotely part-time, so I am pretty available for dog walks and dropping in on cats and dogs, particularly in the mornings/evenings. I can't care for your pets in my own home, but I am happy to care for your pets in your home however works best for you. I have experience with crating dogs as well as free-roaming dogs, and am happy to accommodate however you want your pet to be cared for.

About: Hi Rover! My name is Alex. I have been a pet owner since I could walk; dogs, cats, fish, birds, gerbils, even rats! I absolutely love animals and I am sure I can give your pet the love they require while you are away. I am the fur mommy of two adorable dogs Stasi (we say it like Stacy) and Sāj (pronounced Sage). They love other dogs almost more than they love me. They have fur friends of all ages, shapes and sizes. So big or small, they can adapt and be a fun friend to play/cuddle with. I do work a full time job, however, I have flexibility in my day for walks, playtime, feeding, etc. I can provide plenty of daily updates and pictures. For new clients, I offer a doggie report card and Polaroid photo to ensure your pet was taken care of with the same love you give. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to ask. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I have a hybrid schedule of work from home and office time, with flexibility to ensure your pet, like mine, are not left alone for extended periods of time throughout the day. I have a home with huge fenced yard to roam and play. I live within walking distance to regular parks and don’t mind taking a trip to the dog parks for socializing and exercise.

About: I have extensive pet care experience that began in my childhood. Growing up, I was responsible for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and small mammals. This early exposure taught me the essentials of animal care, from feeding and grooming to understanding their behaviors and health needs. Over the years, I have honed my skills in providing attentive and compassionate care, ensuring that each pet feels loved and well-tended. This lifelong passion has equipped me with the knowledge and empathy necessary to handle a wide range of pet care responsibilities confidently. I work from home and I am a home body except when I walk outdoors, run or bike! A walk is so much better with a dog I have plenty of space for dogs to run as I has a long hallway and a downstairs! I have parks 2 blocks down where I live and a dog area.

“Moria has a sweet and gentle demeanor that my cats are obsessed with! love working with them. Thank you so much!”

About: I have experience with dogs with anxiety who use medication, needy/clingy dogs, and dogs with disabilities. I am extremely thorough and patient in case something goes wrong with them and I maintain a calm demeanor at all times. When it comes to instructions, please provide a brief, detailed description of your pet's daily routine and I'll follow it to the letter. I'm currently a graduate student at CSU; summers are a slow period for me. I am more than willing to babysit pets for as many nights, walks, feeding times as needed. During school time I will do walks, feeding visits and the occasional overnight weekend stay. I am committed to your pet's comfort level and will adapt to their schedule to the best of my ability. I will spoil them rotten because I absolutely love all dogs and cats of all shapes and mannerisms. Even if they hate me. If I am confused about anything regarding your pet's behavior, such as licking paws, over-grooming, an increase in urination, I will let you know about it as soon as I see it. I also LOVE talking to the pets so I will have full-on conversations with them. I'm especially good with repeat visits so if you are interested in having a one-time sitter for the next few years, I'm MORE than willing to take up that responsibility. Familiarity is very important with pets and as mentioned before, I am focused on the pet's comfort.

About: I’ve had 3 sweet and energetic dogs in various sizes, 3 hamsters, I love cats, and I get along well with most other animals too! I am currently unemployed seeking a fun and active hobby that fulfills my day. I recently lost my job and I’d love to make a shift towards something that genuinely makes me happy. I like inquire about the routines already in place for your everyone’s pets. Learning that, their energy levels and preferred behaviors help me to establish a bond. I feel it’s important to keep their natural rhythm while letting them get out their energy out to form a good connection.

About: Since childhood, I knew the importance of treating pets as an equal member in the household. I have taken care of puppies and senior dogs and any age between! I respond well to an animals needs and focus on creating a consistent schedule for the animal so they can relax in their temporary home. I love to work with pet owners to determine the right schedule and care, and love to meet pets and get to know their fun personalities! I work as an artist and have a flexible schedule. I am willing to work with you to determine the right care schedule for your animal. I live in a large townhome next to the lake and public parks. I like to keep pets on a schedule of going outside often so they feel comfortable in the neighborhood and home they are staying in.
