Pet Sitting Edgewater

About: I usually take care of my neighbors cats and I know it can be stressful to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'm always responsive, responsible, and thoughtful and will treat your pet and home with care, keep you updated, and make sure you both feel comfortable and at ease. I'm currently a full-time graduate student. I have evening classes twice a week, so if evening drop in is needed on those days I will either drop by before classes start or after they end. *** Unable to provide recurring weekly care for all services. My boyfriend and I have a cat and a dog at home, and we always provide them with comfortable and thoughtful care. I'm always attentive to their needs and is always at their service :))

“Our kitties are medically complicated and high maintenance! A day before our big trip, we had to take one of our cats to the emergency vet unexpectedly…He had bladder stones and a UTI :( Flo approached the situation with confidence, patience, and compassion!!! So hard to leave a sick baby at home, but I felt at ease the entire trip knowing they were in SUCH GOOD HANDS. Pictures, detailed descriptions, follow-up questions, ability to give medication, VERY good communicator… Seriously, I can’t thank you enough. Will be reaching out again and again!!!”

About: I grew up with both dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of our lives. I genuinely enjoy being around pets and getting to know their different personalities. I am attentive to their needs, patient with them, and understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level. I would love the opportunity to spend time with your pet! My girlfriend and I work and study remotely, which gives us a flexible schedule and allows us to be available for pets throughout the day. We enjoy spending time outside and being in nature, so taking dogs on walks is something we genuinely enjoy. We are able to make pet care a natural part of our daily routines while still giving each pet the attention and time they deserve. I live in a cozy apartment, so it’s a calm and quiet space for pets. I make sure they’re either sleeping or always occupied with stuff to do so, also knowing it takes them a little while to get comfortable in a new place. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands with me.

“Rylie was excellent, sent me lots of photos of my cats while I was away and even did a few extra tasks like taking out the trash after I forgot to the day before my trip. Really appreciate the attention to detail! Importantly my cats liked her and I came home to very happy kitties that had clearly received some good attention.”

“I had a wonderful experience with Ashlynn. For ~4 days, she played with, fed, and cleaned up after my sweet and spicy cat. I also received timely and reassuring updates that eased any nervousness I had before traveling. The next time I travel, I know who to book 😊.”

“Shira is great. Her visit reports and photos are reassuring for concerned dog parents. She took diligent notes and filled in wherever I forgot to mention.”

About: I started my own pet sitting and dog walking business when I was 16 (I’m now 25) and have been doing it ever since. I'm originally from Boston- I just moved to Chicago in May- and I miss my pets back home, so I would love to spend time with yours! I have availability every single morning to mid afternoon around 2pm! Some days I have more time available later- feel free to reach out and ask me! I'm happy to stay in a specific area and play with your dog(s) or walk in your neighborhood! I'm new to Chicago and love to walk in new areas- let your dog show me around!

“Sarah showed up on time, was kind, patient, and attentive with my dog. Appreciated her communication and definitely plan to have her come again in the future!”

Kelsey H.

“Kaira is awesome! She is professional, friendly and thoughtful. She leaves excellent notes and descriptions of her visits that put me at ease while away. I definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again for sure.”

“Jamie was great! This was my first booking with Jamie and one of my kitties needs daily oral meds. This kitty can be fickle with new people, but Jamie was able to give the meds with no issue. Jamie was a professional on all ends, kept our space looking great + we can home to happy cats! Thanks, Jamie!!!”

About: I grew up with a lot of pets and have done pet sitting and dog walking for the last 4 years. I have several regular families that I pet sit for and do regular dog walking. I am currently doing online classes to finish my college degree. I have a lot of free time to myself and can travel anywhere in the city to take care of your dogs. I take particular care to follow instructions for your dog, making sure to walk them and feed them at the right time. I also make sure your home is clean and well kept after I leave.

About: I've taken care of pets (dogs, cats, hamsters, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, turtles, tortoises, hermit crabs, rabbits, bearded dragons, geckos, and fish) since 2008. I've been responsible for feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, among other tasks. I'm a public school teacher on summer vacation ready and happy to fill my days with caring for your sweet pets. I'm an early riser and can be available as early at 6:30 a.m. and as late as 8:00 p.m. My number one priority is the physcial and emotional safety of your pet! The second is to respect your home and items. The only evidence of me being in your space should be a happy, cared for pet.

“Nicolle has taken care of my cat Margot on two occasions so far and has done a fantastic job! Her visits are consistent, she sends photos every time, and she takes the time to make sure Margot gets playtime and attention.”

“I appreciate the last minute Request to walk Nitro.. you went over and beyond I feel with coming for a drop-in-turned walk and drop off to PetSmart for grooming, so I just wanna thank you for that. I couldn’t get off work to take him and I was sent off by someone, so appreciate ya and will be hitting you up again.”

About: For years, I've been an attentive caregiver of dogs. I started doing so for friends and family, then it became a fun occupation. Dogs are such a joy, and I love having them around. I've spent time with working dogs (GSD's), senior dogs (meds and special attention needed), anxious dogs, talkative, sassy little nuggets, high-energy hounds, and adorable, loving loaves. I like being outdoors and going for neighborhood walks, car rides, and hikes with doggos. It's a priority to keep dogs safe and help them adjust when their environment changes so if there are special treats or owner preferences, I welcome hearing the guidelines. I am open to learning how your dog prefers playtime, socializing, and getting exercise. ***Important: I do not accept bookings from new clients that are within 8 days of the request.*** I know each dog is different, and you want them to feel at ease and live as close to their routine as possible with me. I like to know what is best for your pet's temperament — whether they need to be crated, prefer to spend time with people, need rest, or a lot of exercise. I welcome any helpful information you can share to ensure their care (training, meds, etc.) is continuous.

About: I’m a life long animal lover who has had cats and dogs my whole life besides the last few years while I raised my twins. My kids are now in school and I’m looking to do drop-ins and walks during the school day (11am-3pm). I volunteered with cats at Evanston animal shelter for several years. I have done drop-ins for cats and dogs through the years as well. My last pet, Mina, was a feral cat who needed extra love and care but slowly came out of her shell and thrived. I have also walked and cared for my friends and extended family’s dogs. I am a stay at home mom, and my kids are now in full day school, so I have time to spend with your pets. I am available from 11-3pm all weekdays except Thursday. I like being active so am looking forward to walks. I currently have no pets, so look forward to caring for yours. I can do drop-in visits and walks for your pets during the day. I have done drop-ins and walks for friends and family members over the years so feel comfortable with a range of animals. My home is not available for boarding.

About: PLEASE READ ALL DETAILS! I have experience with walking, feeding, bathing, and cleaning up after pets. I’ve also taken care of a range of pets from middle school up until now! Pets include: cats, dogs, hamsters, and bunnies! I currently work a full-time job Mondays through Fridays and I leave my apartment around 8 am to go to office and get home around 5:30-6pm depending on traffic. From there, I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I also have a 1 year old cat that is friendly! I have a hard wood floor at my apartment so clean up will be easy. I also have plenty of space to be able to play with your fur babies! At your own space, I’ll be able to follow any instructions you may have regarding clean up, feeding, and playing with your pets!

“Quinn is wonderful with my senior dog, Sophie. He is friendly and attentive. Sophie is on a few medications and Quinn was able to give them to her with no problem. I also loved getting all of the pictures during my trip to Toronto. I can’t recommend him enough!”
