About: Although I take care of mostly cats now, I grew up with my own dog and cared for him until my own adulthood. Ready to care for, love, ignore (as needed by many cats), pet, and cuddle with your loved furry friends. I am a student with lots of time to hug and care for your furry friends! Super flexible hours and can work around your schedule. My own baby enjoys lots of time in the sunshine. I make sure to play extensively with her and other cats I have sitted. Feeding, cuddling, cleaning litter boxes are done multiple times a day for my own and I expect to provide that same care for your loved ones.
About: I've been dogsitting for my friends for a while and I thought I'd spread the love. I love making pets feel loved and cared for, as well as finding the right number of cuddles and belly rubs. My summers and weekends are wide open, and I work in the school system so I'll be free consistently after 4pm when I'm back from work. Transparency and clear communication! Always believe in overcommunicating and providing updates and details as requested or desired. Detailed information on schedule, walks, meals, etc. definitely helps me know how to care for your pet best and make both you and your pet most comfortable.
About: I have over 25 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats. They have been a big part of our family. We have volunteered at pet shelters as well. I would love to help take care of your pets while you are away. I will treat them like family. I am available during the week after work or around lunch hours. I am always available on the weekends. I would like a few days notice. I will be very respectful of your home and make sure your pet is well taken care of. I am very clean and will clean up any messes.
“Jason is a one of a kind dog walker! He is extremely knowledgeable about dog behavior and tending to obedience training. Our 9 month old Australian Shepherd requires a diligent, attentive, and assertive leader. When we met Jason for the first time, he was everything we wanted and more! Not only does he leave super detailed notes about her walks, but he cares for Luna with the same amount of love and attention as we do. We are so thankful we found him and our Luna is especially grateful! You will not go wrong if you choose him!”
“Victoria was great with our pup! She handled his anxiety really well and provided a detailed update about the walk. I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Stavroula was a good communicator and I really appreciated her accepting my last minute booking. I like that she took pictures of my dog during their walks. I can tell Izzy liked her too… he seemed confused that she left after the walk instead of staying to hang out 😂”
“Elaine is so kind and considerate with my little fur baby! She’s great at communicating and sending pics when on walks to let me know Gus is doing well. We love her!”
About: I currently have two cats and one dog. I have cared for many types of pets for friends, family, and neighbors since I was a kid. I currently work part-time as an intern, so I have plenty of time to care for pets. I am free all day on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I can care for pets in your home. I will honor whatever instructions you have for your pet, every pet is different! I am flexible with whatever your pet’s schedule is and what they require.
“Nicole is incredibly kind and patient with Bruce. She always communicates well and is thorough in detailing how her walk with him went. I can’t recommend Nicole enough!”
“Christopher has been great with our dog so far! He leaves thorough reviews and always makes sure he has enough water, which is very important given how hot Chicago gets in the summer. You can tell he loves dogs from the way he cares for them. He was also willing to come to meet our pup for a meet and greet prior to the walks which we very much appreciated. Looking forward to keeping Christopher on board as a stellar dog walker.”
“Megan is great with my pup! She takes such good care and is attentive to him during the hot summer Chicago heat! Love seeing the cute pictures of my pup while I’m away 😊😊”
About: As a cat owner of 4, I offer expert, personalized care. My experience includes senior cat and dog care, sick cat care, and providing loving, attentive service to ensure your pets feel safe and happy. I can petsit for you basically any time because I work remotely. I can take the bus just about anywhere in the city on days I don't have the car. While my cats are often very chill, they are young and can get frisky. They also don't care for strange animals. So, in everyone's best interest, I would strongly prefer to petsit at my clients' home.

“Sarah was so great walking our dog, including when thunder started and he wanted to come home quickly! So sweet, responsive, and great with dogs”
Michelle B.
“Michelle is probably more knowledgable and empathetic than anyone else I have ever contracted to care for my sweet baby kitten Nixon. Not only did they go far above the bare minimum in caring for Nixon (playing with her and sending me the some of the cutest photos I've ever seen), they followed up by teaching me more about how to properly care for my cat once I was back home. I am eternally grateful for the love they selflessly show to all of God's creatures.”
Injung J.
“Injung is an incredibly responsible and caring individual who lives out these traits in her personal life and professional career. She is dutiful, consistent, and faithful in her work as an occupational therapist, caring for others, as well as her relationships and friendships. She has also demonstrated these traits in her prior experiences of pet-sitting, where she is consistent and dependable to show up on time and provide care for the pets. She not only performs those duties excellently, but also with a heart of love and care for the pets, showing them affection and gentleness.”
