House Sitting in Chatham, Chicago

“It was our first time getting a sitter to stay in our home and care for our 3 dogs for 2 days and Kathryn did not dissapoint. She was very attentive, sweet, patient, and understood all the directions on what to do for our 3 fur babies since they all have different eating habits and personalities. She made sure she texted me throughout her stay if she had any questions and sent us plenty of pics to keep us updated. She was very respectful of our home too. Her price is completely reasonable and I felt like the kids were in good hands with her. I would ask for her help again in the future and I definitely recommend.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Shakira was absolutely amazing, not only did she take great care of my lil fur baby but she sent plenty of photos and her communication was great. I will hopefully use Shakira anytime I need a sitter. If your thinking about booking Shakira as a sitter DO IT !!!!!”

“Jayden was an extremely reliable sitter. They were very willing to meet us before booking. Jayden was great about providing us with frequent updates on our pets.”

“Roman was such a great sitter! Arthur was very comfortable around him. Roman was very thoughtful and caring and made sure to send us photos and videos of Arthur while we were away. Would definitely recommend!”

“Jasmine took great care of our dog, Koji, while Koji was a little sick and we had to be out of the house over the weekend. Jasmine came on time, even when we needed her early in the morning, and proactively took Koji on walks every few hours to ensure she had relief from her upset tummy. Koji was happy and relaxed when we came home after spending the day with Jasmine! I’d highly recommend her.”

“Shiri was a wonderful house sitter who took loving care of our two large dogs, our home, and sent lots of photos of our fur babies. Would happily book with Shiri again!”

“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!”

“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!!”

“Samantha was marvelous! I’m always nervous leaving my 9yo wheaten terrier, as she’s been known to get kind of cranky and snarly around other dogs. However, Samantha assured me she felt comfortable with my high-maintenance fuzzy friend. She sent regular photos and updates throughout my week-long trip, and always responded quickly whenever I’d reach out. My place was very clean when I returned and, most importantly, my dog seemed happy and relaxed. I’ll definitely reach out to Samantha again for upcoming trips!”

“Hello, my name is Ires. I am a volunteer at the humane society. We both volunteered there and I can confirm that Mia kind to all living creature. It also helps that animals love her.”

“Kimberly did a great job dog sitting for Cami at my house while I was out of town. She was in touch to tell me when she was coming and going, as well as sent photos. Cami seemed happy and well fed when I returned home, so overall I was pleased with the experience.”

I trust Karen with watching my dog Daisy, a pitbull mix, any day as I know Karen will keep Daisy safe and happy. Karen also loves to play with animals! All around she is great with animals and she is very passionate about their care!”

“Alexis was an excellent dog sitter. She played with Nellie and gave her long walks every day that she watched her. She also provided regular and helpful updates with pictures and descriptions. I would trust her to watch my pets anytime!”

About: I am an artist and former dog owner with experience working as a private dog sitter for the past 10 years. 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.
