Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Chatham, Chicago

“We highly recommend Coretta! She was very deliberate with each step in getting to know our expectations and in meeting our cat. Our cat is very active and gets lonely when we’re not home, but we had nothing to worry about because Coretta made him so happy:) She gave us updates and sent pictures from every visit. We will definitely seek her services next time we need a cat sitter!”

“Melissa was super flexible and accommodating! She took such great care of my puppy & put my mind at ease by providing me updates during the check-in! She always had her own backup supplies just in case!”

“Danielle was amazing and truly went above and beyond when taking care of my three cats! Super fast communication, sent lots of pictures, and very thorough!! It was a relief to know they were in such great hands while we were away. Highly recommend!”

“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!!!”

“I lucked out! I had a last minute personal matter, and Kai was quick to let me know what worked best. Papito was happy with his house visit and seemed relaxed. Would happily trust Kai with future drop-in visits.”

About: I love being with cats cuz they make me feel happy and taking care of them as well but I make sure they have food, water and clean sand I can do Monday - Friday and even the weekends from 7am to 3pm in the afternoon and maybe holidays can be worked out if needed. I clean there pop daily and make sure they have enough food and water. They have clean sand and take them outside for a little bit

“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!”

“She took very great care of my dogs and kept me updated the whole time!”

About: I've taken care of our little furball, Rusty (11) since he was a puppy. I have had plenty of energy to tire him out running with the zoomies, and I'm still happy to give him gentle care and walks now that he's mellowed. I also volunteer at the local animal shelter walking dogs. I'm a current college student hoping to spend more time with pets and get my daily steps in! I keep on top of my availability calendar, and I'm excited to work with you to find the best time to care for your pet! I walk dogs with safety in mind. I'm already an avid walker of this beautiful Chicagoland area, so I have a good sense of the best sidewalks -- and I always keep an eye on traffic and possible hazards, including other dogs. I pet sit with the knowledge and respect that I am a guest in your home, and I always clear expectations and preferences with the client beforehand. I'm very flexible, and my object while sitting is to put your pet(s) first!

“My Ralphie was happy and well cared for. She is loving and caring with ralphie. Very flexible and I see how good she is with her baby.”

“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!!”

About: I have had a dog ( Pomeranian/Yorkie mix) for 5+ years. (He’s my mom’s) He's only 8 lbs and one of the sweetest dogs ever. Max is super friendly and he loves to play. He can be very calm, almost cat-like in a way. I have also house sat other small dogs and a Great Dane over the past years. I currently have two cats. Rabbi and Tony are great boys. Tony has cat IBS (colitis). So, I have to be careful with his food intake and make sure his tummy happy. I'm very comfortable with small to medium dogs and certain breeds of large ones. I'm very attentive to my dog's pace and others as well when we are walking. Additionally, I know how to care for adult cats. I truly love connecting and caring for the animals, especially domestic house pets such as dogs and cats. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to your precious dog! I’m in grad school and I’m focusing on school so I don’t have a steady job right now. Working on random projects gives me a flexible schedule. I have been watching my friend’s pet outside of Rover and I love them so much. I try to be aware of how an animal feels and keep them safe on walks & other outings.

About: I truly believe I took amazing care of my dogs. I never yell and I don't abuse any animal. I treat them as my own and I make sure that their tail wags every time that they see me. I have watched dogs for my friends for a few hours and those were full of play time and supervision. I know the do's and dont's of animal care and I never made a mistake before. I know this is my calling and I plan to follow it. Daycare is only available on weekends but I hope to change that. I am learning to ba a dog trainer so don't be surprised if your buddy comes back with a new trick or two to show you.

“Nariah was great! Took great care of my jazmine and even brought in a perishable package that was delivered and put it away for me. I mistakenly put the wrong address on my reservation and Nariah was understanding and still was able to help me out for the weekend. Will definitely use her again.”

“Kathryne is great with dogs! She is very patient and caring an you can tell how much she loves dogs by how she cares for her dog, Bailey. She has always been very kind and sweet to my sometimes difficult dog Sophie, which I have always really appreciated. If you want a sitter who will treat your dog like family, then you should book with Kathryne. ”

“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.”

“Would rebook 100000000%! Cane was very kind and communicative! Our pets were well cared for and even our dog who can be a bit temperamental opened up to Cane. We came back from our vacation to happy pets and that’s all we could really ask for 🫶🏼”

“She is awesome with our doggy”

I have always loved animals and helping people take care of animals when they don’t have the time My schedule is wide-open to help anytime anyone needs me. I am taking some time off before starting school in the spring so I am available seven days a week. I take care of my pets always making sure they have their medication and making sure they eat.
