Pet Sitting Downtown

“Amber was very communicative, sending many pictures daily. She was also very flexible with her time when I unexpectedly had to extend my travels a week longer. Upon my return, my apartment was just like I had left it and my kitties seemed very happy. Will definitely rebook with her in the near future!”

“Nev was so great for daily visits for our senior dog Duke while we took a mini vacation. Thank you so much for accepting our booking on such short notice—we truly appreciate your flexibility and willingness to help us out last minute. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pet was in good hands, and we’re really grateful for your kindness and reliability. We would absolutely book with you again!”

About: As a European DVM, I am experienced with all kinds of pets and will provide the best care for your loved companions. I have also fostered a total of 19 dogs (not at the same time!), so I’m used to all sizes and personalities. I also promise to send daily photos and videos, and updates on request! I work from home at the moment, so I have a lot of flexibility, as I can choose my hours of work. For dogs, I can do as many walks as the owner requests, and will go on different routes to keep it engaging for the pet. You home is your sanctuary. I will leave it exactly as you found it, and ask for clear instructions beforehand on which areas you would be comfortable me staying while I take care of your pet. On walks, dogs will be leashed at all times except in safe enclosures if the owner approves it.

“Sara is the best of the best and I don’t trust anyone else with my cuties now. She is reliable and use her everytime I’m going to be gone for a day or two even ❤️”

About: I’ve had all kinds of animals since I was born. I’ve personally owned both dogs and cats (currently have two very rotten cats!), but I’ve grown up with everything from kittens to chickens to cattle to German shepherds. I genuinely just love animals, and would be thrilled to get to know yours as well! I work full-time, but I work from home Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I’m based in Southtown, so I’m centrally located and can come visit your animals up to three times a day, or stay at your house. Unfortunately, since I live in an apartment, I cannot house any extra pets at my own home. I get it, your pet is your baby and you need someone you can trust! I’m an experienced pet sitter, whether you need them let out in your backyard, taken on walks, or given some cuddles, I can do it. I can provide pictures daily, and I’m very big on communication.

“This was our first time using Rover or even doing drop in visit. Ninfa was amazing! Her communication was impeccable, she took pictures and notified me the entire time. She took us at the last minute and will definitely be our go to in the future! Thank you Ninfa!”

“We had a great experience with Anna dropping in to take care of our dogs. Excellent communication. She even stopped by beforehand to meet our pups. We would highly recommend Anna and plan to use her pet sitting services in the future.”

“I can enjoy myself and not worry about my fur babes when I have Miguel and Marifer come to visit. The care and individual attention they give to each of my fur babes cannot be matched. I would recommend them to anyone who treats their animals like family.”

“Michael is the #1 sitter that cares for our pets anytime we go out of town. She always does an excellent job. I highly recommend her services.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs since middle school. My dogs, my family's dogs, and my friend's dogs. Large or small, young or senior, I’ve worked with them all. In my professional life, I’ve spent over 10 years delivering great experiences for customers, and I bring that same level of care and attention to both your pet and your overall experience. I’m a stay-at-home father who also works app-based contract jobs, which gives me flexibility throughout the day. I’m available from morning through night based on your pet’s needs. I also have a dog at home who regularly joins my child and me on walks around the neighborhood or at a local park. I have experience caring for pets both indoors and outdoors, and I adjust my care based on each dog’s environment and personality. Whether your pet prefers relaxing at home or staying active on walks and outings, I make sure they are safe, engaged, and well cared for. I take the time to understand their needs so they feel comfortable and happy.

About: I have taken care of 25+ dogs and cats in the past 3 years, to include in home/overnight pet- and house-sitting, dog walking, brushing, litter box maintenance and pill-based medication administration. When taking care of other people’s pets, I provide the attention and care that I was seeking for my own cat and dog (who, sadly, are no longer with me.) My top priority is the safety of the pet, and to that end, I take no risks with the animals in my care – food protocols are carefully followed, walks are always on leash and doors are carefully monitored to ensure indoor cats remain indoors. With my pet care services, you will have: • Happy, safe and well-cared-for pets • A clean and orderly (tidy) home • Clear and timely communication • Regular and frequent updates (with photos and videos of your pets) • Reliable and dependable pet and home care As a recently-retired educator, I have a very flexible schedule, with plenty of time for your pets. I am available for daily walks, overnight or weekend house sits (your house or mine) and vacation sits (1-4 weeks is typical). When starting a new relationship with a client and their pet(s), I schedule a brief ‘pop over’ appointment where I can meet the animal(s) in the presence of their humans. This helps everyone involved – pets and humans – get to know me and feel comfortable with me before I take on the responsibility for the pet. I take care to be calm around the pets I sit - I let both cats and dogs take their time to warm up to me (come to me when they are ready, sniff my hands, my person, my things). I am careful when feeding animals - particularly dogs - giving them space. I follow the pet's routine - if they sleep on the bed, I let them sleep on the bed; if they like to go in and out frequently, I let them go in and out frequently. I try to make them as comfortable as I can, in their human's absence.

“This was Melisa's first drop in visit with Katie and it went great. She gave my dog her medication, took her outside and played with her and made my day away much easier knowing I didn't have to worry!”

About: I’ve been a dog girlie for as long as I can remember! 🐾 Growing up, my brother was allergic to cats, so dogs naturally became our family pets—and I’ve loved them ever since. I’m a proud dog mom to my lab girlie, and I’m always happy to help take care of my friends’ pets too! I love taking dogs on walks, getting outside in the sunshine, getting our steps in, playing, and of course giving them plenty of cuddles and attention. Our pets are such sweet, loving companions, and I truly enjoy getting to know each of their unique personalities. I’m currently working full-time and looking to add some extra snuggles (and steps!) to my weekends. I’m available primarily on weekends for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I make sure every pet is well loved, well fed, and cared for just like I would my own. My apartment community has a fenced dog park and plenty of easy, walkable areas for getting outside, playing, and getting our steps in.

About: I have had my Labrador for about 14 years now. I have always been surrounded by dogs and enjoy taking my dog on daily walks. i’m currently on summer break from college so i have plenty of time. I am usually free anytime after 10:30 am everyday. I am pretty flexible. I have all types of accommodations for any needs that are necessary as I have years worth of doggie supplies around my house as needed.

“We had to fly out for a three-day trip on very short notice. We have two cats: a 13-year-old diabetic orange cat who we call our "love sponge," and a thee-year-old lever, mischievous tortie. Morgan understood the assignment. She had not given insulin to a cat before. I showed her how to do it, left written instructions, and all insulin doses went well. The cats were happy and healthy when we returned. My diabetic cat had a veterinarian appointment when we returned, and his glucose and neutrophils were within a good range.”

“Danielle was so sweet and caring, you can see how much she cares in the simple pictures in every Rover card. I will definitely continue to book with her in the future”

“Sarah helped take care of my little guy over the weekend. She was a quick study for an old cat with a few extraordinary needs. She showed up at the requested times and provided adequate summaries. Her care for my Wyatt was spot on.”
