House Sitting in Burnside, Chicago, IL

“Jayden watched my 2 big dogs and cat for a week at my house. They provided frequent updates and administered meds and made sure my picky animals were all well fed. We returned home to a cleaner house than we left it. They were wonderful and I’m so grateful for their care!”

“Alexa did a wonderful job taking care of our dog in our home over a long holiday weekend. She was communicative, made sure Beau got his walks and play time, left our home clean and our dog happy. She followed our instructions on everything and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. We hope our dog wasn’t too crazy for her, but we would gladly welcome her back! So grateful we found Alexa.”

“Brianna was great! She sent lots of pictures while we were away which was great and definitely eased my anxieties. She was friendly and very communicative. I will definitely be booking with her again next time we are in need of a pet sitter 😄”

“Shakira is amazing! I feel like she's part of the family. She did an amazing job looking after my Maltipoo, Dash! She sent plenty of pictures and videos throughout the day. I really appreciate the way she made both me and Dash feel comfortable. Before she left, I had already booked her for another sitting for Dash. She's the best!”

“Very happy with Daniela as a pet/house sitter while we were overseas for 2-weeks. We don’t speak a common language, but my pets don’t speak English or Spanish either, so I wasn’t gonna let a language barrier be the sole reason to not hire someone. We used an audio translator app during the meet & greet, and most apps/ txt auto translate. I did provide an emergency contact of a bi-lingual friend. Thankfully we didn’t need to involve her. At the meet & greet, we practice giving my anxious cat’s oral tablet medication with dry kibble, and she was pretty good at it within a couple tries. Reassured me she would be able to administer when we’re gone. She sent regular photos/updates of our pets which always makes us happy and comfortable while traveling. We even had some HVAC issues while we were away, and Daniela was a trooper the whole time. Twice she helped coordinate a technician coming to the house since we couldn’t be there. She left the house very clean, trash taken out, bed made. Brought all our mail in. Watered the few plants we asked. Etc. I hope she’s available next time we travel. Thank you!”

“We couldn’t have been happier with Jasmine. She stayed at our home for a full week while we were out of the country, and she took amazing care of our three senior pups. We got brief daily updates, and came home to happy, relaxed dogs and a spotless house. Truly grateful for the peace of mind - highly recommend.”

About: As a dog owner you should pick someone to care for your dog who has experience and loves dogs. Well, that care giver is me. Dogs are super energetic and absolutely loyal and that's what I love most about them. Trying to tire out a dog is fun because they're always ready for a game of fetch. If you choose me to care for your dogs you'll be receiving absolute professional service and a great experience for your dog. I have experience in walking, providing medication, and feeding dogs. Hopefully you pick me to care for your loving, four-legged friends. I work from home full-time so I am available for early morning, afternoon, and evening drop offs most week days and weekends as well. We can arrange a drop off on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays after 6pm. I have a cat already but they don’t require much attention. I have a big fenced back yard for your fur babies to run around. If you bring the crate I can easily crate them. I have a great neighborhood for dog walking.

“Anyah is the greatest dog sitter ever!! She is great with my dog and always on time. I highly recommend her.”

“My Dog Dottie loved Ava! Dottie has tons of energy and Ava spoiled her with long walks and lots of dog park trips. I felt so relieved that my pup was in great hands. Ava sent lots of pictures and updates and left the house nicer than she found it. The best! Already booking her again”

About: I’ve had the joy of working with dogs of all sizes at the Homewood Adoption Center, where I learned to care for every personality—from playful puppies to wise seniors. I love helping each dog feel safe, happy, and loved, and I bring that same dedication to every pet in my care. I am available to care for pets all week and can adjust my schedule to meet your needs, including overnight stays if required. Your pets’ comfort and happiness are my top priority! When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely to ensure consistency and comfort for your pet. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and bathroom breaks as needed, while keeping your home safe and clean. I also give updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away.

“Mia is a wonderful dog sitter! Charlie and Cooper had a great time with her while we were out of town and she was very communicative with a check in and pictures every day.”

About: My name is Spence, I'm a 29 year old artist and musician from Boulder, Colorado currently based in Hyde Park. I've been in living and working as a painter in Chicago for 6 years. I've worked in dog daycares, veterinary hospitals and as a foster dog dad since I was 18. I rescued a special needs senior dachshund, Lucky, when I first came to Chicago and he was/is my pride and joy 😇 ❤. I rescued an abandoned Italian greyhound in an alley of the city last summer and took care of (spoiled) him until he was ready to find his forever home which he successfully found earlier this year! I'm active on Rover again after many years off to fill some free time and get to spend time with new dogs now that my house is devoid of pups again. Please reach out with any questions, I can flexible with my schedule and would love to help if I can. My apartment is located near the University of Chicago with midway plaissance and a dog park right around the corner! I freelance paint for work but my schedule varies and hours are uncertain. I am good about making time between multiple clients, jobs and personal time. My apartment has a fenced backyard for potty time. The apartment is clean and "dog proofed" after having a very nosy dachshund for so many years in here and more recently a little strange iggy street pup.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs and pets with medical needs, including giving liquid medication, assisting with mobility, managing feeding routines, and monitoring comfort and behavior changes. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work remotely, allowing me to be present throughout the day for walks, feedings, medication schedules, companionship, and monitoring pets’ comfort and behavior. I prioritize a calm, safe environment by following routines exactly, keeping spaces clean and secure, administering medications carefully, respecting household rules, and providing attentive, one-on-one care in my home or clients’ homes.

“Patricia was absolutely a star for us. Bucket loved having her here and was sad when she left. We will absolutely use Patricia again and appreciate everything she did for Bucket. The care was immaculate and much appreciated!”
