Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in East Side, Chicago

“Coretta did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were away. She went above and beyond - taking care of unforeseen issues that popped up and sending thoroughly documented (and cute) reports after each visit. I would recommend her to anyone as a trustworthy, compassionate, and knowledgeable caretaker for your animals.”

“This was my first time using Rover and could not be happier or more impressed. Claudia went above and beyond taking care of my elderly cat who is on meds for 4 days that I was out of town. Her updates with pictures at every visit gave me peace of mind that Moxie was being taken care of and allowed me to enjoy my trip. Claudia took great care with her and my home, as well, and I arrived home to a happy cat and a home in immaculate condition. Claudia definitely was the best choice! Highly recommend her!”

“Beverly was super helpful and kind with our dog Oliver. He immediately liked her and she was great at communicating and sending pictures/ updates. Will definitely be contacting her next time we need a pet sitter!”

“Darcelle was great and my cats loved having her drop by to check on them. I appreciated that she played with them and cleaned up the food dishes. I recommend her and plan to call on her again when I can't be home.”

“Jorinee is a great person to be around and definitely trust with your furry pets! I have met Jorinee through volunteering at the animal shelter. She is very caring and hands every pup and kitty with gentle hands. She helps to clean and walk every pup atleast once to twice a day. Every pup loved going out with her to play or walk. Do not hesitate to ask jorinee for care for your fur babies”

“Have great communication, very prompted and handles Molly with care as if molly was her own”

“Jessica is beyond amazing, I met her walking my dog one night and from that moment I could tell how passionate she is about dogs. She’s super sweet and caring and Dino (my dog) loves her like nobody’s business!”

About: I have been a dog owner since childhood and have experience working with dogs of all ages and sizes. I am currently Mom to a Boxer Dane mix; as such, any boarding MUST have a meet-up first to ensure there is no hostility. My oldest dog is nearing 7 or 8, and I am familiar with diet-sensitive and senior dogs. I am currently unemployed - as such, I can accommodate most requests! I love all breeds of dog, and have no real preferences! I am willing to house sit, as well as care for other animals (cats, etc). Non-local requests will be accepted on a case by case basis (as I rely on public transit). I am looking forward to loving on your fur babies!

“Shantell does a great job taking care of my fur baby. He feels comfortable around her and responds well.”

“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!”

About: I am an artist and former dog owner with experience working as a private dog sitter since high school. 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.

“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.”

“Kristin went ABOVE & BEYOND for my Teddy. She is thorough, consistent and definitely a dog lover. She was amazing!!! I couldn’t be happier. It’s a no brainer… book her now❤️”

“Cane accepted sitting our 2 dogs and 4 cats at short notice. He provided pictures and plenty of updates while we were away and did well with my reactive dog. I was especially worried about leaving my dog with anyone and almost didn't go on the trip at all because of that but Cane did well meeting him outside and then was able to interact with him while we were gone! He continued to provide care for our pets even after losing access to his car due to the icy roads while we were away. It was very helpful to have someone with experience and patience to work with all our social animals. We will definitely reach out to him again next year 😄”

“Titi is great with animals and people alike. She is kind, patient and dependable. Long before she had a pet of her own she volunteered at dog training classes which is where her love of animals started to blossom.”

About: My husband and I are lifelong dog people. From shih tzus to mastiffs, we've cared for many fur babies of our own as well as those of friends and family. We have two goldendoodles (Daisy and Hazel) that our family would not be complete without and provide us daily joy. My husband and I both work from home and feel so lucky to be with our dogs every day. We have a big fenced in backyard that the dogs roam around and play in- always supervised. Nick and I are active folks and take our dogs for daily walks around the block, to the park, or to the beach near our house. We can offer a large crate, gated quiet areas, and a fresh water bowl. We have a fenced in backyard and let our dogs out to roam and play throughout the day. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture and sleep on the floor in our bedroom- our home is the dogs’ home. If we both leave the house for any reason we always keep your pets and ours separated for their comfort and safety. Food is also served separately so all pups can dine in peace.

“I am so happy that my dogs were in such good hands while I was gone. She is just an amazing person that cares for my dogs as if they were her own. I have a blind senior dog in diapers and a deaf senior dog that requires meds and add to that a 4 year old Newfie and they all love her. I would recommend Rachael for anyone seeking peace of mind while having to be away from their dogs. We usually board them while we’re gone, having them stay home is my new preference. She was wonderful.”

“Monce is super caring, kind, extremely understanding and my dog Toby just loves her! She takes care of him walks him, feeds him! Etc. I would definitely not only just recommend her but I will keep working with her!”

“She did wonderfully with the dogs, and they loved her. They got energy out well!”

“I left my Boxer over there for 2 days and he loved it she updated me with pictures twice a day. She also had her own dogs and they all played. I would be bringing my dog back whenever needed.”
