Pet Sitting Englewood

“Me’lia was a godsend, when my original sitter had to cancel last minute. She was communicative and thoughtful, and was super accommodating. And both my cat and my dog loved her. Would recommend and would rebook her again!”

About: I am a writer and artist by day and absolutely love animals! I'm looking to share my extra time caring for your furbabies! I have experience walking, feeding, monitoring, and caring for dogs (large-small, puppy-senior), reptiles, small animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, ferret etc.), I have my own pets including, two terrier mixed dogs, an American bull toad, and a free roam rabbit. I have cared for my family's dog as well. I am available during the weekdays, Monday-Friday mornings and afternoons. My weekends vary based on my availability but I can be flexible and discuss more in consultation. I have my own vehicle so I am able to check in and care for your pet, and help them at a moments notice in case of emergency's, I have a large fenced in yard at home that allows for plenty of space for your fur baby to explore, walk and play for a few hours.

About: Fenced yard front all around. I will be sure your doggo gets playtime and walks to the park. I work from home so I can provide regular supervision and accommodation for any special needs. Currently working from home. I have a routine of a minimum of 3 walks per day with my dog and plenty of outside time in my fully fenced yard. I also make sure there is playtime in additional to treats and other physical needs. I understand that dogs need more than just potty breaks and food and water. I take the time to provide the attention and care that every dog needs. I provide a space for large dogs to be themselves in a safe and secure environment.

“Highly communicative and willing to drop by for a meet & greet with our dogs before the sitting date. She’s great to work with and we look forward to having her dog sit again.”

About: I’ve always been the go-to among family and friends to watch their animals when they are gone for trips or vacations or need extra help. I’m an avid walker in general, and a walk is always better with a pet! I’ve volunteered for two years at animal shelters, trained and raised a puppy, and have experience caring for pets young and old. I’m currently a writer, remote copy-editor, and substitute teacher with an incredibly flexible schedule at the moment. I can watch, walk, and care for dogs and cats pretty much 24/7 at the moment. The only thing I cannot do is host animals in my home due to my apartment’s lease. Every pet is different and every pet owner cares for their pet differently. Let me know all your animals quirks and needs and I’ll meet them happily! I’d love to walk your dog around the park or neighborhood, give them them their special treats, respect your cat’s weird boundaries and quirks, etc, etc. :)

About: I’ve worked with young kids and dogs for years. I babysit and petsit in people’s homes and I have trained my seven year old dog. I also have experience with cats and giving them space while letting them warm up to me. On weekdays I work full-time until 4pm and then I’m all free to play with your pets or feed them. Weekends I’m free all day to properly care for your pets. I have a fenced grass front yard and a 7 year old mini schnauzer if your pet is okay with socializing, but not necessary for house sitting or walking.

“Weléla is such a great cat sitter! Super friendly and reliable!”

About: I Love animals. Especially dogs and cats. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all kind. Your pet will be staying in my home, so they will have the whole house to themselves. I take extra long walks to the park and the beach often. You will never find anyone more invested in your best friend. Every hour of every day is dedicated to caring for your best friend. I am very active. I go to the gym 5 days a week. Working with dogs and cats gives me what we need in order to stay fit and mental stable. I will have your doggies tired at the end of the day!! The doggies and kitties have the entire house to their self. I have a big home with 4 floors. I also have a large yard that is fenced in and totally secure. No one gets in or out unless I decide to.

“Jozelin is wonderful!! She spent time with my cats, played with them and went above and beyond my instructions. This was my first experience with Rover after moving to a new city recently, and I feel like Jozelin is someone I could completely trust in my home and with my cats!”

About: I am a hard worker willing to help take care of your dog's needs. I love animals especially dogs and want to take care of them the best I can. I have pet care experience and have family dogs. I love to take dogs for walks, hikes, and to entertain them. I had two large dogs growing up, and I walked them both comfortably. My dogs were both energetic, so I am used to excited dogs that love to play. I have done house sitting, multi-pet watching overnights, and dog walking. I love playing with dogs and giving them attention. As a social worker, I am dedicated to helping others in my area and saving money for grad school. I can also help around with tidying the house, brushing the dogs, and/or babysitting if you need. I’m currently a graduate student at University of Chicago. Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m working 9-5pm but other days I have three hour class blocks or am working part time. I’m happy to stay over and do walks in between class and lunch breaks at work. Anything near/around Hyde Park and Washington Park is accessible. My rates are sliding scale so please let me know what works for you and we can see what we can both do. I have experience with different walking strategies like harnesses, regular leashes, and going for runs! Growing up, my dogs were energetic when off leash, so I worked hard to make sure pets are kept in safe and supervised locations. I'm organized so feeding schedules, any medication needed, and keeping consistent exercise for them too is a priority for me!

About: I am experienced in very detailed pet care instructions and understand that those pets have unique needs. I have experience with administering medical supplements, adhering to specific feeding schedules and portion requirements. I have followed individualized activity plans and routines for both dogs and cats. I want to provide the consistency in a pets routine while their owners are away. I promote owner-established potty training methods in regards to 6 months and older potty training behaviors. My approach combines reliability, patience, and genuine affection for animals while providing pet owners with confidence that their pets are receiving attentive and compassionate care in their absence. I am a Retired NCAA WBB coach so I have time to care for your fur family! I Can adjust to your pets favorite routine! I stay in your home so that your fur family is in their most safe space! I stick to their routines and routes! I can include new enrichment activities and stick to what works for them! I understand crating and routine! I have also slept w 4 animals in bed so that were very supported during the owner’s mini vacation.

“Bola’s wonderful! We’re glad to have her support with our dogs.”

“Sujae is an excellent cat sitter. She came for drop in visits on time and consistently over multiple days. I liked seeing pictures of all the cats and the nice notes she left. She helped me out of a jam when another sitter cancelled my pet sitting while I was already out of town. Rover helped me find Sujae and I’m super happy we found each other! Sujae did a wonderful job for me and my cats. Thanks Sujae!”

“Tim is amazing! He was very communicative, prompt and most importantly patient and showed my fur baby the attention she needed when I was on vacation.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, including active and strong working breeds. I focus on creating a safe, structured, and stress-free environment while making sure every dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, crate routines, basic obedience reinforcement, and handling energetic dogs with patience and consistency. Pet parents can expect dependable communication, regular updates, and someone who genuinely treats their dogs like family. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine come first. A typical day includes structured walks, playtime, exercise, water breaks, feeding according to your instructions, and plenty of attention. I keep a calm and clean environment while making sure each dog gets the right balance of activity and rest based on their personality and needs. I’m especially comfortable with active and strong breeds, so dogs that need confidence, structure, and engagement are in good hands. Whether your pet needs a relaxed companion, exercise, or consistent care while you’re away, I aim to make the experience stress-free for both you and your dog. You’ll receive updates, photos, and quick responses throughout the stay so you always know how your dog is doing.
