About: I have been pet-sitting for 7 years; caring for animals is my passion! My style of sitting is treating every pet as if they’re my own😊🐾 I am currently working a part time job, so I may have certain windows of availability—but I am more than happy to work with you on times :) In my clients home, I will follow all rules and guidelines relating not only to their pet, but also to respecting their space as well.

About: Angela and Steve have had several decades of taking care of pets, and they currently have two dogs and two cats. Angela has previously worked for Bark Place in Rogers Park, as well as taking care of friends' and family's pets. We're predominantly available on weekends, but can be at your place by 6 pm on weekdays. We're flexible and will work with you to ensure we meet your needs. We will treat your pets and home as if they were our own and ensure we don't miss any details. We will not treat our visits as just a job, but as a way to ensure your pet feels comfortable while you are away.

“Tina was amazing! She always does such a great job and is very flexible with scheduling. We had a last minute flight cancellation and she was able to stay late and make sure our cats had food, water, and love!”

About: I have had experiences with many dogs! I used to dog-walk in high school for my neighbors and so have had “Rover-type” experience. My family also has two dogs, both of which I have trained, groomed, bathed, walked, and all things in between for! I have cat-sit numerous times for friends and neighbors. I also worked at a cat hotel for a few months and so have had experience caring for multiple cats at once! I am a PhD student with lots of flexibility on hours and days that I work so I can fit in your pet’s care needs very easily! This means that I would be able to be with your pet early mornings, during the day, late evenings and even weekends! I will be happy to be in constant communication with the client to ensure that I am meeting their and their pet’s needs. I’d be happy to take photos for you if you’re on vacation or just want any updates during the day as well! I am also very organized and keep a detailed calendar and notes on any needs that may come up!

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I grew up with two dogs of my own and have since had the opportunity to pet sit for many different kinds of animals. One of my most memorable experiences was caring for 10 newborn puppies by myself, which taught me just how much patience, attentiveness, and responsibility goes into caring for animals. Whether I’m looking after a playful puppy, a senior pet, or a cat who prefers to do their own thing, I always take the time to understand each animal’s individual needs and personality. For me, the most important part of pet sitting is building trust, both with your pet and with you. I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing that your animal is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and would love the opportunity to care for your furry friend! I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I’m happy to accommodate your preferred feeding, walking, playtime, and care schedule whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, learn your pet’s routine and personality, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and safe.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for family since adopting my first family pup in kindergarten! After experiencing a violent car accident at a young age with my dog who developed severe anxiety as a result, I’ve spent much time learning how to handle reactive, sensitive, and anxious dogs, as well as patience with seniors and specials needs. I am a recent graduate from Northwestern University and am currently taking a gap in my studies after completing my bachelor’s degree at Johns Hopkins and Master’s at NU back-to-back. Until then, I’m open and incredibly flexible, and I want to be of any help I can for your fur babies whenever you need! After adopting an incredibly high energy pup 4 years ago, I’ll draw from everything I’ve learned to make sure your pup gets the play, exercise, and enrichment they deserve! I spend a lot of time outside with dogs on walks, jogs, and play dates and am excited to do the same with yours!

About: I've always taken care of my dogs growing up. My dog right now requires a very in depth feeding and medication regimen. She is 13 years old and has a special diet with a very timed out schedule for her medications. I also have experience with young dogs/puppies. I have lots of experience with older cats and a little with kittens, but not a ton. I work in food service during the day, so I have tons of time in the afternoon/evening and night to care for your pets! I can also move my schedule around if needed I've had dogs throughout all my life that have had vastly different temperaments, so I know how to care for animals of all kinds.

“My cat received caring and helpful attention from Kara, the cat sitter. Especially when, as she is so friendly, kitty Francine did let her approach! It's the first time ever in this former hoarding victim's life, a stranger was allowed to see, and photograph, Francine! Thank you so much Kara!”

About: I lived with cats my entire life, and since 2022 I am a mom of the sweetest senior pup. I don't believe we "own" our pets - they are nothing less than our family, and deserve all the respect, attention, and care. I am my own boss so I am very flexible! I do try to stick to regular work hours, so I am usually more free on weekends and in the evenings. However, nothing can beat a lunch break with a pup! I live in a lovely neighborhood in Rogers Park with an access to the beach and a beautiful park. I love exploring new areas in the city, and happy to offer long walks in your pup's favorite area.

“Tiffany was able to take on a last minute requests after an emergency medical situation with our previous sitter. Great communication - making sure we are updated on our cat’e welfare and care. I’m glad we gave her a try - and so should you.”

About: I have been around all kinds of critters since I was a little kid—dogs, cats, birds, mice, guinea pigs, goats, chickens. I have always loved animals, and will make sure to personalize my care depending on your pet and their needs! I can also work with animals that require extra attentiveness, like seniors, health concerns, or anxiety. I am currently in college, so I am available overnights, weekdays after 4pm, and have full availability on weekends! I am also available every day before 7:00am for walks / runs / check ins. I will personalize care depending on your pet’s needs and your home setup / general lifestyle. I will also ensure all needs are met for seniors or pets with other health concerns.

“Great sitter! Tasha was accommodating of my last minute booking request, and I returned to a relaxed and friendly car who had gotten plenty of play and snuggle time! Would book again.”

About: I love animals. Growing up with pets of all kinds I learned to appreciate them and recognize their needs. I know the importance of bonding with them and find great joy in forming that bond. I did domestic care for four years and my primary job was tending to the animals. I am trustworthy and caring and I will put the needs of your pet first. Every time. I have made pet care my priority. I presently work full time in pet car. I also love pet photography and offer that as a service I am available on a drop-in basis and I can make myself available for overnights and extended stays as well. Whatever you need, don't hesitate to ask. I have cleared my schedule to make myself available to tend to dogs and cats full-time. I will walk your dog or simply hang out with your pet, whichever you need. I will build a trust with you, and your pet will know. I look forward to meeting you. I am very conscientious and responsible. I lost my own dog of 14 years and this has opened the door for me to be able to tend to your dog or cat. I can only offer the same loving care that I showed my own dog.

“Sara was great with our two cats! Very detailed and completed all requested tasks during her drop-in visits. Thank you for taking care of the boys!”

About: I have experience caring for a variety of animals through my work at zoos. I personally own a Siberian Husky and a cat, both of whom are 10 years old and in excellent health. I also have previous experience dog sitting for family and friends. Working at a zoo has given me an understanding of the importance of animal nutrition, exercise, and mental stimulation through enrichment. I currently work at the zoo, and since I have weekdays off, I know it’s important for your pets to continue receiving care even when you’re at work, whether that means walking them or simply being there for them. I care deeply about my pets, and I understand you do, too. I always triple check doors when leaving to make sure your fur baby is safe. I am also comfortable with crating any dogs or feeding any shy kitties.

About: I offer in-home pet sitting and dog walking for local clients, providing feeding, exercise, and companionship for both dogs and cats. I'm comfortable administering medications and following individualized care instructions for pets with specific health or dietary needs. I've built lasting relationships with repeat clients through reliable scheduling, attentive care, and regular updates on their pets while they're away. I manage all bookings and client communication myself, balancing multiple pet-sitting clients alongside full-time work in animal care. I have flexible availability throughout the week, including daytime hours, which means I can stick to a pet's normal routine without rushing, whether that's multiple walks a day, mid-day feedings, or checking in on medication schedules. I'm able to be consistent and present, so pets get the same reliable care and attention every visit. I treat every home like it's my own, securing doors, following the pet's normal routine for feeding, walking, and litter boxes, and sticking closely to any medication or care instructions. My clinic experience helps me catch early signs if something seems off, and I know how to let anxious or senior cats warm up at their own pace rather than forcing it. For dogs, I double-check leashes and collars and stay attentive on walks. I keep owners updated throughout, so they always know their pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for.

About: I have 3 years of hands-on experience working as a doggy daycare attendant at Citizen Canine, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels in a fast-paced environment. I’m very comfortable reading dog behavior, managing groups, and making sure every pup stays safe, happy, and engaged. I also had my own dog, Roxie, who lived to be 14 years old—so I understand both the playful puppy stage and the extra patience and care that senior dogs need. That personal experience really shapes how I show up for every pet I care for. Right now, I regularly provide overnight dog sitting for my clients, and that makes up the bulk of my work. I’d love to add more dog walking clients and build long-term relationships with pet owners who need consistent, reliable help. I also have plenty of experience with cats—whether it’s drop-in visits, feeding routines, or giving them space and attention on their terms. What you can expect from me: • Clear communication and quick responses • Photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing • On-time, dependable care • Attention to your pet’s unique personality and needs I treat every pet like they’re my own and aim to make things as easy and stress-free as possible for you. I currently work part-time managing a fitness studio, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. My schedule works especially well for midday walks, which I genuinely enjoy because it’s a great way to break up the workday and spend time outside with a dog. I’m typically available for walks on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, with Sunday availability after 1 PM. I can also accommodate morning walks before work, evening walks after work, and overnight pet sitting. Since my work hours are usually around 12 PM–5 PM, I’m often available during the times many pet owners need extra help most. I love building consistent relationships with both pets and their owners, whether it’s regular walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I primarily provide care in my clients’ homes through overnight stays, drop-in visits, and walks. I find that pets are usually most comfortable staying in their familiar environment and routine, and I do my best to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away. For overnight stays, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and consistency with their normal schedule. During drop-in visits and walks, I always provide updates and photos so owners know how their pet is doing. Because I have a roommate, I typically do not board pets in my own home. However, I’m very experienced caring for dogs and cats in clients’ homes and making sure both the pets and the space are treated with respect and care.
