Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Burnside, Chicago

“Coretta is great! Appreciated the care she showed my cats, as well as her updates while I was traveling. Felt so much better leaving the country knowing they were being cared for so well.”

“Matt has been a loving pet owner for the majority of the 30+ years I've know him. He's lived with both cats and dogs, and always provides a safe and happy home. When we were younger he was the first person I knew to rescue a dog, who was lucky enough to spend his long life under Matt's care. Matt is reliable, trustworthy, and responsible. As someone who owned a pet care business, I can say Matt would be a great choice as a caregiver.”

“Toni is great. Responsive, responsible, caring and capable. I felt very reassured after meeting her and knew I was leaving my cat in good hands. She kept me up to date on visits and I returned to a well cared for cat. The best!!”

“I highly recommend Chijioke for pet sitting. They are so reliable and caring!! I have booked them multiple times to pet sit for me while I've been out of town and they do a fantastic job every time! They cleaned the litter, fed and kept my cat company. Chijioke is a great communicator, they are thorough and easy to talk to! Plus they kept me updated throughout! A superstar pet sitter! Highly recommend 10/10!”

“Beverly did a fantastic job taking care of our cat! She was attentive with pictures and messages on each visit. She even double checked with us about the cat's food routine to be sure she was giving him enough. Lovely experience with a lovely person!!!”

“Dominique did a wonderful job! She was the first sitter I hired for my new pet. Her videos and pictures of my little kitten made me feel a lot better about having to leave. I hope to employ Dominique many times in the future, she makes sure our fur babies are safe and loved.”

“She is awesome with our doggy”

“Madeleine was great with our dog and was flexible enough to work with our changing schedules. Our dog is used to having someone around all day, so she greatly appreciated the time Madeleine spent with her.”

“Dominique is excellent with Lily. She is patient, kind, and playful with her. She really goes the extra mile when working with my Lily. She is always on time and reliable. I highly recommend Dominique.”

“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!!”

“Jessica is beyond amazing, I met her walking my dog one night and from that moment I could tell how passionate she is about dogs. She’s super sweet and caring and Dino (my dog) loves her like nobody’s business!”

“Roxy was responsive, arrived as scheduled, and checked on our pets as requested. I also appreciate Roxy bringing in our mail packages that were left at the door. Thank you!”

“Cane accepted sitting our 2 dogs and 4 cats at short notice. He provided pictures and plenty of updates while we were away and did well with my reactive dog. I was especially worried about leaving my dog with anyone and almost didn't go on the trip at all because of that but Cane did well meeting him outside and then was able to interact with him while we were gone! He continued to provide care for our pets even after losing access to his car due to the icy roads while we were away. It was very helpful to have someone with experience and patience to work with all our social animals. We will definitely reach out to him again next year 😄”

“Shantell does a great job taking care of my fur baby. He feels comfortable around her and responds well.”

About: Since the age of 12, I've harbored a deep passion for caring for dogs. My journey began with my beloved Cane Corso Mastiff named Pacquiao, who was my faithful companion for five wonderful years until he passed away from Dilated Cardiomyopathy. Though I haven't had a dog of my own since Pacquiao, I've found solace and joy in pet sitting for friends and family, helping to fill the void until I'm ready to welcome another furry friend into my home. Taking walks and frequenting dog parks are among my favorite pastimes, allowing me to nurture my love for these amazing animals while staying active and engaged in their well-being. During my undergraduate years, I worked as a nanny for a family that had both a cat and an English bulldog. Through this experience, I not only cared for the children but also formed a bond with their pets. Spending time with the cat, I discovered a newfound appreciation for feline companionship and the calming presence they bring to a home. Alongside my love for dogs, this experience broadened my understanding of and affection for various animals. It further solidified my commitment to providing compassionate care to pets, whether it be through walks, playtime, or simply enjoying their company. As an aviation teacher and instructor, my schedule offers flexibility, ensuring your fur baby receives exceptional care. Living just 20 minutes from my workplace means your pet will enjoy multiple potty breaks throughout the day. In rare instances where I may be unavailable for a scheduled potty break, drop-off, or pickup, rest assured that my retired father, who lives just around the corner, is eager to lend a helping hand. Additionally, I'm available for weekends and major holidays, providing continuous care whenever you need it With a fenced yard and a location only 5 minutes away from the Hyde Park neighborhood, known for its abundance of dog-friendly parks, your pet will have ample opportunities for exercise and play. I am dedicated to maintaining cleanliness by regularly tending to litter boxes, cages, and any other pet areas. Additionally, I prioritize your pet's well-being by closely monitoring their behavior and health, promptly addressing any signs of distress or illness.

“Angel is the most caring person when it comes to taking care of an animal. From what i can tell, She loves cats, dogs and any other type of house pet.”

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.

“Shakira is very personable and quick-witted. My normally reserved cat came right to her which was a great sign and definitely put me at ease that he was in the care of the right person. I look forward to working with her in the future and highly recommend her service.”

About: Since around 15 I have taken care of my own pets growing up (3 cats and 3 dogs) and now have a fur-baby of my own! I’ve been known to be now only a baby whisperer but an animal whisperer too. My love for animals makes me patient and understanding of what it takes to care for our precious fur-babies! I love awarding with treats, rubs, and of course, hugs and cuddles. I work from home so I will have a lot of time to care for and play with your fur-baby! My schedule is completely open at this time 😊 I have a large fenced in back yard with cameras to ensure optimal safety of your fur-baby. My Frenchie is super friendly and welcomes all new pups with barks and play. I treat all fur-babies as if they are my own because I wouldn’t expect anything less if I was in that position!
