“Jailene was wonderful! She is very communicative and you can tell she really cares about animals. I will absolutely use her again!”

“Diane came and watched our little girl Penelope for a day so my husband and I could get out of the house. Penelope was new to Chicago and having a tough time settling in - we wanted Penelope to have someone with her while we were out to ensure she was comfortable. Diane was absolutely phenomenal from the start - an excellent communicator and made us feel comfortable right away. You can tell she is extremely expert when it comes to the care of animals. Penelope can be very shy/anxious and tends to run away/hide when she is stressed. Diane got down on the floor with Penelope and patiently waited for her to come out when she was ready. Diane sent us photos throughout the day along with updates/messages which made me feel so much better and allowed me to relax while we were out. I was amazed at how quickly Penelope warmed to Diane and felt totally confident in Diane taking care of my baby. Diane is absolutely such a wonderful person, I would recommend her to anyone and will absolutely hope to have her back!”

“I liked Hanna from the get-go. She paid close attention when I showed her around, giving me confidence she’d know what to do. She sent photos and updates and clearly the cats were comfortable with her. She even managed to put them in their outdoor enclosure, which is one of their favorite things. Hanna left my house tidy and clean. No complaints!”

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs since I was born and I wouldn’t want it any other way! In addition to growing up in a home with pets and always taking a great joy and interest in caring for them, I spent the entirety of my college years and beyond taking side jobs pet-sitting in my community. During that time, I worked for a dozen families, typically staying in the home rather than doing drop-ins. I’ve worked with cats and dogs of many different breeds, ages, sizes, and levels of activity and I am very comfortable connecting with them and adapting to their needs. Having recently gone on vacation and left my own pets in the care of a sitter for the first time, I have a new found appreciation for the trust we put in caregivers to provide reliable service and to value the wellbeing of our pets as much as we do. I have very flexible and often remote work hours, so I can easily adapt to your routine and ensure your pet’s day looks as familiar as possible. I can provide drop in or in home care for your pet(s). I am very detail oriented and closely follow my client’s instructions for how they care for their pets and home. Leaving our pets in the care of someone else can cause them stress, and I prioritize maintaining their current schedule and spending as much time as possible with them to help mitigate potential separation anxiety.
