House Sitting in Burnside, Chicago

“Hi Rob, is a good person and a lifesaver. He came over and Housesat for me in an emergency with only 3hrs notice when I had a last minute cancellation. I would recommend him again to watch my pets anytime”

“My cat sitter cancelled on me at the last minute. But as it turns out I was meant to find Belicia. She took excellent care of my girl Zuri. Belicia was communicative, kind, and followed all instructions. She sent me messages and photos to absolve any worry and it didn't take long for my anti-social kitty to take to her. Having her care for Zuri was such a peace of mind. When I came back home, I realize that everything worked out as it should have. This is the beginning, as I will be scheduling with Belicia again.”

“Jasmine was amazing yet again with my dobie, Storm. I had some last minute emergency changes to my trip and her flexibility and understanding really put me at ease during a stressful time, I'm so grateful for her support! Super communicative, Jasmine took great care of my girl and my place too. Also, Storm is reactive to other dogs and I trust Jasmine to know how to deal with that. Highly recommend.”

“They were AWESOME! Immediately we hit it off talking about our mutual interests. My dog gets a bit hyper but Levi was able to demonstrate techniques to calm him down and quickly. Once I left they sent me regular updates and I never had to worry about whether or not my kitten and dog were in good hands. I really appreciate the time and effort they put into making sure I was updated. I’ve never used Rover but I definitely will again. I also will definitely be using Levi. Thank you so much for everything!”

“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!”

“Shiri was awesome to accept a relatively last minute booking at a good rate, and was communicative and professional throughout her stay. I returned to my home exactly how I had left it for her which I appreciated as well. She was understanding and kind when problems arose which meant a lot for me given my dog is of old age and caring for him can be quite involved. Thanks Shiri!”

“I have one wire fox terrier and one boxer (he's 100 pounds) and crystal stayed with them an entire month and everyday I got pictures, updates, and so my babies having a GREAT TIME! Crystal also took care of my plants, house dusting, and brought in all my mail. It pained me when I moved from the city, because after six months I have not been able to find someone as good as Crystal. You can 100% trust her with your fur babies!!”

“Taylor was a great dog sitter for GiGi! She sent photos and made sure she was well taken care of. I would highly recommend Taylor for any pet sitting services!”

“Cane did a great job with a houseful of pets! We left him with 3 cats and 2 dogs, one very high-maintenance. The dogs were a little slow to warm up to him, but he was patient and turned their attitudes around. He texted updates frequently and left the house tidy, which we really appreciated at the end of a long trip! When we got back the animals seemed happy and well cared for. We would be glad to hire Cane again.”

“Roxy has walked my dog, Nene, a few times for me in the past. She’s an excellent dog walker. She genuinely cares about my Nene. Every time Nene sees her he gets excited. She’s the type of person that instantly bonds with animals. She’s always on time and she’s professional as well.”

“I am a veterinarian so I know I can be a little tough to please when it comes to my pets but Angie is the absolute sweetest! She was great with both of my dogs but especially the one who can be very fearful. My dog can look a little intimidating and she does not like most people but she adjusted to Angie immediately. She has also served as a caretaker for my elderly pup and is always so gentle and compassionate.”

“Darcelle is the sitter for my grandcat, Sophie.Darcelle deeply loves animals and my two furbabiesMax and Maggie love her. Animals can sense when a person cares for them. She plays with them, talks to them, cares for them. She is a loving person who truly cares for pets.”

“Kathryne was great! Gave regular updates and made the process super easy. Definitely using again!”

About: I am an artist and former dog owner with experience working as a private dog sitter since high school. I love pets immensely, and am so excited to meet yours! Every dog I get to greet is a gift, and I treat them as such. Through my own experience as a dog owner, and diverse experience with other dogs, I have learned a lot that I get to bring to these new situations. I know how vital calmness can be, and keep myself patient. I know every dog is different, so please share everything you can about your animal and all their quirks! Getting to interact with animals is so much fun and so fulfilling, I wish to spend more of my time doing it when I can. I currently work from home, so my schedule is incredibly flexible! I'm available for walks throughout the week and can stay with your fur baby as need be. I like to keep the care of your pet as close as possible to their normal routine, so please keep that information clearly written out if possible, or we can talk through it together.

“He took great care of my best friends”

“Jessica is simply the best when it comes to pet care! She's like a second mom to our furry family members. Always reliable and caring, Jessica goes out of her way to make sure our pets are happy and healthy. We couldn't ask for a better caregiver! Thanks, Jessica, for all you do!”

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 part-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.
