“Elva is wonderful! She updated me on every visit with pictures and spent time with Lola and Scout .Lola definitely got extra belly rubs from Elva. I will definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive pet sitter!”

About: I’m a pet loving individual here to help and protect your fur babies in your absence. My name is Cynthia and I currently have two cats, one beagle/hound dog, one hermit crab and a beta fish. I am patient, flexible, caring and have dog and cat training experience, since I grew up with pets of all kinds. I have experience with both large and small dog breeds. I’m flexible with whatever the needs are of your animal and will treat your dog/cat like our own plus accommodate as necessary. I’m active and love going on dog walks or cat sitting and look forward to taking care of your fur babies. Happy to provide references. I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to take care of more than one pet. I’m also flexible either morning or evening works good for me. I have a big fenced yard and two crates (size small and medium) if needed. I also have a friendly dog who can play and keep your fur baby company.

About: I am an experienced, reliable and dependable pet lover. I have grown up my whole life with animals. I recently had to put my senior pitbull down so my house is very quiet now. Pet care is my passion and currently my main source of income and work. I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am interested in walking, daily visits, or overnight boarding anytime of the week. Our home has a large fenced in yard, perfect for your pup to enjoy some fresh air, or bask in the sunshine. I can take your pet on walks or they can run around in the yard. Or we can snuggle up on the couch and get lots of belly rubs.

“We appreciate you taking care of our pets while we were away. Thank you for making sure everyone had what they needed and sending us picture updates too.”

About: Dog and cat owner my whole life! Currently a momma to 3 cats and one senior pitbull. I love to be around animals and fostered often before moving to the Chicagoland area. As a small business owner who works part-time, I have the flexibility to make pet care a priority in my daily routine! My mornings start with making sure my pets and yours are happy, loved, and well cared for. After spending a few hours in my office, my afternoons are reserved for furry friends, plenty of cuddles, playtime, and a little extra spoiling! I love having the freedom to give every pet the attention and affection they deserve. I’ll care for your feline friend in the comfort of their own home, where they feel happiest and most secure! From cuddles and playtime to meals and a clean litter box, I’ll make sure your kitty feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: As a proud pet owner myself, I know that our animals aren't just pets—they are cherished members of the family. I take immense pride and honor in providing the highest level of care, backed by decades of hands-on experience. My background includes over 15 years of experience working with German Shepherd/Sheep Herd dogs, understanding their unique loyalty, energy, and intelligence. Additionally, I have 28 years of dedicated experience caring for felines—both male and female indoor cats—giving me a deep understanding of their diverse personalities, needs, and behaviors. When your pets are with me, they will receive the same fierce love, respect, and attentive care that I give to my very own. My daily life revolves around my own vibrant pet family: one high-energy German Shepherd and three indoor cats. Managing this household has taught me the art of a perfect routine—balancing the physical and mental stimulation needed for intelligent herd breeds with the quiet, structured care that felines thrive on. From morning walks and puzzle toys for large breeds to meticulous litter box maintenance and separate feeding schedules for multiple cats, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my everyday routine. I know exactly what it takes to keep a multi-pet home safe, organized, and filled with love, and I am excited to bring that same dedicated, expert care to your beloved animals! As a dedicated pet provider, safety isn't just a checkbox for me—it is the foundation of how I manage my home and routine. I believe that a predictable, structured environment combined with purposeful engagement is key to keeping animals secure, happy, and stress-free. Secure & Supervised Environments: To ensure total safety, my cats remain strictly indoors at all times, protected from outside hazards. When out in the beauty of nature, dogs are strictly kept on a leash to guarantee full control and security. Confidence-Building Playtime: I know that cats thrive on mental stimulation just as much as dogs do. Structured playtime with felines is a priority in my home because it burns excess energy, prevents stress, and—most importantly—builds their confidence and security in their environment. Structured Rest & Crate Comfort: I respect an animal's need for boundaries and decompression. If a dog needs downtime to relax or reset, I utilize crate training as a safe, positive haven for them to unwind. Proactive Health & Bloat Prevention: Having deep experience with large breeds, I am hyper-aware of digestive health. All meals are served on a strict, timely schedule. Furthermore, I enforce mandatory, quiet rest periods immediately after eating to prevent any digestive discomfort or dangerous conditions like bloat. When you trust me with your pets, you are getting an environment rooted in vigilance, confidence-building routine, and a deep respect for animal wellness.

“Fantastic loving care for my 2 dogs! I have a shy senior rescue and a skittish young dog who both take time to warm up to strangers. We scheduled basic check ins/potty breaks over 4 days that they had to be home alone for 8+ hrs each day. The meet and greet went really well and was easy to set up. Each day my pups received a full 30 minutes of attention and loving care. I received MANY photos and videos as well as really awesome communication and updates. Thank you!”

“I have two cats. One is a complete sweetie except he is now almost 17 and is on multiple medications. In discussion with the vet before my trip, the vet had "ideal" and "essential" medicine dispersal. In our meeting to go over things, it was clear she understood his medical issues, the various medicines and their priority and importance. Kimberly was diligent in administering the medicine most essential and getting at least one daily dose of the others, despite the cat hiding from her on several visits. (He is easy for me but I am told by prior sitters he fights the pills). What pleased me was that she kept him in good health without stressing him out to the point where he acted out like he did with previous sitter determined to administer pills. She knew how to balance stress and medicine. If you have a cat with health issues, I highly recommend Kimberly. Since my other cat is a high strung rescue who hides from everything, Kimberly did not interact with her directly but she reassured me of signs of eating, litter activity to show she hadn't escaped when she hadn't showed after 5 days. (that is very typical of this cat, even for longer visits so no reflection on Kimberly).”

About: My family on both sides have always had multiple pets that we care for/own. I have had my own dogs in the past but recently, I moved in with a relative and I care for her doggy. My neighbor works at an animal shelter. I will be volunteering there as soon as the school strike ends. Until then, I am caring for my niece. I am very excited to be back in Chicago. I grew up here and missed it so much when I lived in the Suburbs. Please consider me for your sitter/walker. I know how important it is to have a person you trust, when it comes to taking care of family members. Pets are family. I can't wait to start meeting new DOGS!!

About: Hi! I'm Jackie, and I'm a lifelong animal lover. I've cared for all types of pets and have been a pet parent to many, including scaly critters and little furry ones. I come from a family home with a bichon-poodle named Calvin, and I had a cat of my own named Honey. I have 4+ years of professional experience working with dogs of all sizes and ages, previously working as a kennel attendant and grooming assistant. I take my responsibilities seriously and follow any guidelines given to me. I currently have open availability and can schedule multiple same-day drop-in visits and walks. I can also schedule repeat visits and walks throughout the week! For drop-in pet visits, I'm sure to follow any guidelines shared with me, such as allotted playtime and feeding schedules. For dog walking, I make sure to walk as much or as little as they may need.

“Mario was great for our dogs and really cared for them while we were out of town. We were worried leaving during fireworks since one is terrified, but he calmed him down great! Mario was very informative and replied quickly. We will definitely use him again!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve cared for dogs and cats since the age of 6. My first fur baby as an adult was a 100-pound lab named Zeke whom I spoiled for 14 years. My current pups are Leia (3yo lab) and Loulou (1yo pug), both rescues. My day job is in the tech industry. However, I’m laid off and looking to spend some of my free time this summer doing what I love. Caring for animals. See my calendar for availability. I’m typically available weekdays 9:30am to 2pm and some weekends 8am to 8pm. I am happy to work with your schedule or needs. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly pups of my own to keep your pup from being lonely. Happy to crate or not. My house has ample space to keep pups separate if needed. We love taking walks, either group or one at a time based on your preference. I live close to a walking trail in a quiet neighborhood of folks who also love dogs.

“Ruby is an outstanding dog walker! Very flexible with last minute schedule changes/updates. Very fast at responding to messages.”

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, I provide reliable, compassionate, and personalized pet care. From daily walks to overnight stays! Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. Having an 11 month old golden, I schedule my days around walks, feedings, and playtime. I hope to extend these services to your furry friend! I treat every pet like family—ensuring their safety, comfort, and happiness every step of the way. With every service provided, I aim to provide a healthy, fulfilling experience for them.

About: You are working late for the peak season or you may need to travel for several days. You are worrying about your furry friend at home who has been indoor and alone all day long. Worrying about if they eat or drink or pooped yet. Worrying about if they run out of home or not. This is something I'd worry about my cats and dogs when I'm out for work. Every day I would spend some time with my pets to play, train, and talk with them. The more I communicate with pets, the more they'd understand me, including my orders and requests. I'd do the same with your dog as well! Talk with your dog, understand he/she's feeling. This would really help to build a relationship with your pet! If they like jogging or fetching, we can definitely do more on that! Keep every dog in a healthy shape, lose weight and gain more muscle. Or if they prefer to get some belly rubs or do some training, that would be my pleasure to serve as well~ I will bring a water bottle with filtered water (if your dog only drinks with the bottle he/she familiar with, it would be great if you would share it with me during the walk) After each exercise, I will make sure to keep your dog hydrated, and give some treats for awards. I will also take some videos and photos for you to see how he/she is doing! Tell me more about your dog, let me know what he/she likes/don't likes to do. Let me know him/her ahead of time would help me to do my job.

“Emily has been such a wonderful support for our 5 month old puppy. His adjustment from summer mom to teacher mom has been eased with her drop ins. We love the cute photos and he is happy mid day!”

About: We’ve been caring for family and friends’ dogs and puppies for 14 yrs, We have potty trained puppies, taught them to sit, wait patiently for food, and other fun tricks. Most importantly they get a lot of attention and love. We want to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible while away from home, creating the perfect home away from home! We both work from home, so rest assured that someone will be around with your furry loved one. We will make sure they have several potty breaks, timely feeding, and are well taken care of. Your furry loved one will be in the house where we keep a close eye at all times. We also use gates periodically to close off sections of the house, especially while feeding, if necessary. We have a fenced yard where they can run around in which we usually also keep a close eye while they are out
