Elyse was incredible. Our other sitter canceled on us last minute and she came to the rescue. She provided so many updates and pictures, cleaned up after the cats had some accidents, and provided great communication throughout. Felt so comfortable with her in our home and will be hiring her again without hesitation.

Joel was fantastic and made sure my pup was fed and got his walks in while I was out of town for a long weekend. Joel and my dog immediately became friends, and he provided pictures and consistent updates while I was away!

About: I grew up in a large family and everyone had multiple pets. I have trained several of my own dogs. I recently lost my dogs. Let me spoil yours! I have always had rescues. I currently am working from home. So I am available all day, any day, as well as nights. I would love to spoil your pups! I am in Avondale right by 90/94 and the blue line (belmont/addison stops). I have a large pet friendly house with a fenced in yard (5 ft shy of a double lot). Dogs are allowed on furniture and beds. I have multiple floors if dogs need to be kept separate. Drop off is super easy. There is a fire hydrant directly in front of my house and parking behind my garage as well. Since I accept multiple dogs I only accept over 1 year, fixed and friendlies.

We were out of the country for 3 weeks and had friends staying/checking in on our cats throughout that time. Only issue was no availability from them on Xmas day. That’s when we gave Rover a chance. Couldn’t be more satisfied with Finn! Finn was in consistent communication with us leading up to Christmas Day and gave up pic updates during the visits. We had some nervousness with using Rover for the first time, but Finn eased us in.

About: I’ve been professionally working with dogs for the past 7 years, with experience in grooming, boarding, and daycare settings. Throughout my career, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and support. I’m also experienced in administering oral medications safely and comfortably when needed. Animal safety and wellbeing are extremely important to me, which is why I renew my Pet First Aid and CPR certification every 2 years. I’m trained to recognize behavioral patterns and body language in both dogs and cats, allowing me to quickly understand when a pet is relaxed, anxious, stressed, or overstimulated—and respond appropriately to help them feel safe and comfortable. Caring for animals has been my passion for as long as I can remember, and I love being able to improve the lives of pets through patience, compassion, and attentive care. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, grooming support, medication, or simply someone trustworthy to care for them like family, I strive to provide a safe and positive experience for every animal I meet. I currently work Mon-Fri as Dog Groomer in the West Loop area, so the time I finish up for the day fluctuates depending on my schedule, and any obstacles we run into at the salon. I am typically out of work by/before 3pm, and am able to give a more specific time as I begin grooming my last dog for the day, so I can plan the rest of the evening accordingly. I am currently available for drop-ins Mon, Wed, and Fri from 3pm-10pm When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that feels consistent and comforting while their owner is away. I have experience with pets of all ages and temperaments, including puppies, senior pets, shy cats, high-energy dogs, and animals that may need extra patience or space to build trust. Whether that means playtime, walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, litter box cleaning, grooming maintenance, or simply providing calm companionship, I always take an individualized approach to each pet. Because of my background in grooming, daycare, and boarding settings, I’m very attentive to body language and behavior changes in both dogs and cats. I can quickly recognize signs of stress, anxiety, overstimulation, or discomfort and respond appropriately to help pets feel secure and relaxed. As someone who is Pet CPR and First Aid certified, safety is always extremely important to me. I also understand the trust involved in caring for both your pets and your home, and I strive to provide dependable, respectful, and compassionate care every visit.

Michele is my go-to sitter when I’m traveling because she’s so reliable, kind, and good with my sweet kitty. She always sends thoughtful updates and lots and lots of pictures, which means so much to me when I’m traveling and missing my cat. I would recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind with their pets when they’re going out of town.

Highly recommend Adrianna! Adrianna watched our three cats for 5 days, coming by twice a day. Having multiple cats is already a handful, but one of our cats is diabetic and requires regular insulin shots. Adrianna handled the medication perfectly and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She kept up with the daily feeding, cleaned the litter boxes, and made sure everyone got plenty of cuddles and attention. She is reliable, professional, and clearly loves animals. We will absolutely be booking her again!

I love how she sends pictures and communicates so well before/during/after visits. I know my cat loved her at first sight and I feel so comfortable having her take care of my girl.

Dominique is fantastic - we could not recommend her more highly. From the start she was responsive, communicative, and easy to coordinate with. She shows up on time, every time. Most importantly, she is genuinely wonderful with our dog - he warmed up to her quickly, which is not always easy, and we could tell right away that she has a real way with dogs. We trust her completely and will absolutely be booking with her again. If you are looking for someone reliable, warm, and great with your dog, look no further.
