“Kathleen is really great at what she does! She's great at communicating which made her easy to book, and easy to add visits as needed as my trip changed. She was absolutely lovely with my dog Pickle, giving plenty of love and belly rubs. She sent numerous pictures, kept me well updated, and allowed me to have piece of mind while I was on a trip. I won't hesitate to book her again and would reccomend her to others.”

About: Hi, I'm Lauren! I have over 25 years of pet care experience, and have been a dog and cat owner my entire life. I'm the person at the party who is over in the corner loving on your cat or dog. I live in Portage Park with my dog, Carl, my cat, Kevin, and my husband and kids. We were always the house where friends wanted to leave pets to be cared for while on vacation. We've taken care of cats, big dogs, little dogs, chickens, a parrot, you name it. Now that we have a family, it's not as easy to take pets into our home, but I do love the opportunity to visit other's homes to care for their pets. Whether that's just some cozy couch snuggle time, yard zoomies, a long walk, or administering medication, I am happy to help! I have personal experience with senior dogs as well as senior cats, and they do hold a special place for me. I have been unemployed from my full-time job for almost a year, and have a small consulting business that I work remotely. I am using Rover as a resource to help make ends meet while job searching in this crazy job market. I am offering the most affordable rates in hopes of building up Rover clientele and creating long-term client relationships. Sometimes my kids join me for visits and walks, but always with the approval of the pet owner. I will not be traveling over the holidays, so I’ll be available here in Chicago! I currently work remotely and have flexibility for scheduling, working around school drop-offs and pickups. I can easily drive over for visits and walks for your babies. Sometimes my kids join me for visits and walks, but always with the approval of the pet owner. I am the primary pet care person in my household who scoops litter, feeds, keeps track of meds. I will follow any instructions you provide and always ask questions if something is not clear to me. I am happy to water indoor and outdoor plants or gardens, and bring in mail and packages.
“Faye was amazing and so reliable. She quickly made friends with our kitten and provided us with lots of pics and updates, giving us peace of mind on his first weekend home alone without his mamas. We’ll be asking her back the next time we need someone to check in on our pet(s)!”


“Camille was very communicative, which left me feeling comfortable that my special needs pups would be well taken care of in my absence! Will definitely book Camille again.”

About: Hi! My name is Kimberly😊 I’ve spent my life caring for animals, and I have always been an animal lover. So they definitely hold a special place in my heart! Most importantly, I am an animal advocate! I have had many animals growing up such as: birds, amphibians, chickens, rabbits, and dogs. Recently, I fostered a kitten that I rescued from the streets for 2 weeks until I was able to find him his forever home through the animal shelter I work at. I currently provide loving attention to a senior Chihuahua named Cookie that my family has and my young Pomeranian named Cielo. With a background in Animal Sciences (Bachelor’s degree), I possess a solid foundation in animal welfare and behavior. In addition to my personal experience, I work at an animal shelter (ACL in Oak Park) as an Adoption Counselor, where I help match animals with their forever homes. My expertise includes basic training and handling pets of all sizes, ensuring your pet receives the highest level of care, whether they’re young, senior, or anywhere in between. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I work four days a week, leaving me with Wednesdays and Thursdays to offer my full attention and care to your pet. I can possibly do other week days but it would have to be after work (later in the evening). I’m flexible and committed to providing reliable, dedicated care! My approach to caring for pets in my client’s home is flexible and tailored to their specific needs. I ensure to follow any special instructions or routines provided by the pet owner. I offer plenty of socialization time to keep pets engaged and mentally stimulated. For dogs, I incorporate fun, light training sessions and ensure they get the necessary walks while adhering to their schedule. I always keep treats handy for redirection if needed. When outdoors, I make sure all doors and gates are securely closed and closely monitor the pets to ensure their safety. My goal is to provide a safe, enriching, and loving environment for your pets.

“Sydney is the best! We have a very active dog and a new puppy-Sydney handles both of them like a pro and they love hanging out with her! On the second visit they were so excited to see Sydney and they sleep the rest of the day after so much fun playing! Highly recommend!”

“Hanna leaves terrific updates on our 3 cats and took excellent care of them while we were out of town on an extended trip. Highly recommend her for professionalism and attention to our pets.”
