“Melanie is the best! My two cats LOVE her and I know they are in good hands with her when we go out of town.

“Isabel blew me away with how detailed her reports were and with how thoroughly she documented her visits! She took great care to give my cats as much attention as they wanted and to do all of the dumb little chores that come along with having older pets. She pilled my old girl like a champ, handled litter without complaints, and reported sightings of my invisi-cat that doesn't like to show herself for strangers. Working with her was easy and made me feel safe leaving my fur babies for a long weekend. Thanks, Isabel!”


“Estefanía took awesome care of my kitty Moji! She was always on time to the drop-in, sent plenty of photos, and very quickly converted my shy scaredy cat to her usual sweet self. Thanks Estefanía!”


About: I've owned and cared for all kinds of animals my whole life. Professionally, I have experience working as a dog handler, kennel attendant, dog bather, and groomer. I also have extensive experience working and caring for cats, horses, and various small animals. My +3 years working at a dog daycare facility had me safely handling a pack of up to 25 dogs; providing exercise & engagement, soft corrections, and positive reinforcement. To do so, it was necessary to be observant and in tune with the dog's behavior and always on the lookout for any signs of stress or aggression. As a bather and groomer, I was focused on hygiene but a large aspect of the job relied on my knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques. I've owned cats my entire life and have worked with a TNR rescue the past few years getting pregnant females and unneutered male cats fixed and adopted. I also have pet care insurance with animal baliee coverage in case of emergencies. I always care for every animal as if they are my own and I understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable and loved. I work part-time on the night shift, so I'm out of the house between 9:30pm and 3am Monday through Friday. Outside of that- my schedule is flexible. I am available on most weekends and holidays. I only book one client at a time for boarding, so your pet(s) will have my full attention. I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood with a huge, unfenced yard. I own a variety of animal care supplies and equipment including lunge-line leashes to keep dogs safely on my property.

“We felt so comfortable leaving our cats in Sarah’s care! She communicated daily with us and sent pictures. The cats enjoyed her visits (even the reluctant one) and came to greet her when they heard the door open only to find it was us returning home! We will definitely use Sarah again.”


“Lauren was super flexible with me and available last minute to watch my kitty! She also sent me the cutest pictures and videos while I was away for the weekend. Definitely recommend, especially in terms of ease she was very easy to get ahold of and sent enough messages to make me feel comfortable :)”


“Sophia is awesome. We are so lucky to have found her. She is punctual, flexible and wonderful with our dog, Pixy. Pixy is a stubborn senior who knows what she wants and Sophia makes sure Pixy gets it. Whether it’s a walk and a snack or just some company, I know she’s in great hands with Sophia.”


About: I have grown up around dogs since I was born. I have always loved caring for and interacting with dogs. I do not have my own dog currently, but would love to help care for others! I am currently substitute teaching at an elementary school, so there may be weekdays I am unavailable. I am currently not working full time, so I will be available to walk your dog(s) throughout the week! I am open to walking as far as needed for your pup. I have experience safely walking more energized dogs, so your dog will be in good hands! I have also walked up to 3 dogs at a time (various sizes) if you have more than one that needs to be walked a time.

“What a wonderful experience this was for my elderly kitty, who was so well cared for. I've never seen her adjust so quickly. Thank you, Phyllis, for taking such good care of my kitty. Definitely recommend!!”


About: $25 for first-time bookers! Your Promo Code: GRANTS01745 Hello! My name is Grant, I'm a writer and creative marketing guy who works remotely, am a huge, season-ticket-holding Cubs fan, gay-friendly, and I absolutely love dogs! I have over 16 years experience caring for my own dogs and I'm one of the best Dog Dads out there! I enjoy dogs more than people sometimes, no offense, LOL, and I've always loved dog walking, pet sitting, reinforcing training techniques as instructed by owners (and teaching my own dogs), and playing with man and woman's best friends! I would love to meet you and your best friend, and I hope to have that opportunity to make your life a little easier by letting me take great care of your little guy or gal! I spend a good 45 minutes with your little lovers, including a walk and playtime, sometimes it’s a full hour—I don’t rush. I am responsible, loving and kind, educated, and will give your dog the best care possible outside of immediate family. For longer "day of" stays, where you may be going out for the day and need me for 8 hours or more of playtime and multiple walks, I will charge minimum wage in Illinois, $15 per hour, so for example an 8-hour day at your home with your pet would be $120. Tell me more about your pet and how I can tailor my time to make them happy and take the very best care that they are accustomed to! I can walk your dog up to 3 times daily and feed the pet according to your requirements. I am used to cooking for my dog, with a small kibble supplement, so if for example, you would love me to cook up some chicken with vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower, I can do that if you have the budget to accommodate purchase of the ingredients! I'm happy to play with your dog inside or outdoors, in your yard, or drive to the nearest park to get some great exercise and Vitamin D! A happy dog is a tired dog, and my plan would be for the dog to have a full day of fun and exercise! If your dog has a pal or two, or a day care you like to drop your dog off at where he or she has some buddies they like to play with, I'm willing to drop your snuggle bear off for a few hours, etc., to break up the monotony of being at home. Whatever I can do to match your dog's usual routine -- let me know -- and we'll make it happen!

“Grant is fabulous! FABULOUS! I have a bird, two yorkies, and one cat - I trust him with them more than I trust myself! I travel for work often and I live in the Chicago suburbs and it’s been so convenient finding someone I can trust to watch my furry family members. Grant is always responsive, sends photo updates, and leaves my home better than how I left it! I couldn’t ask for a better sitter! I know my animals are in good hands with Grant and I 100% recommend him as a house sitter & pet sitter! My pets are like my children (I don’t have kids) so I have been very lucky to find someone who cares so much about animals like Grant and I feel safe leaving them with him. Grant has also been super accommodating - he always tries to be flexible with me if I have a last minute trip come up. Thank you for all your help over the years!”

Once again our boy loved to see his friend Veronika while we went on our honeymoon! While we were out, our barcart broke due to the weight of something we had put on it and she let us know right away and cleaned up the broken glass to keep our boy safe. He can't wait to see her again!
