Gab took great care of my two cats! My youngest can be a bit on the Feisty side but he gave her space and she gradually got more comfortable with his presence. I’d recommend him without hesitation.

Catherine did a great job caring for my boys! One needs meds and can be a little spicy to handle, but she made sure she got what he needed. Would hire again :)

Maggie has done several drop in visits with our 2 dogs. She is reliable, communicative, and goes the extra mile (like trying everything to get Mac to go out and pee in the pouring rain). I recommend!

About: I grew up in a home filled with love for animals, caring for 3 dogs and 1 cat alongside my family. Now that I’ve moved to Evanston for my master’s program, I miss having pets around and would love the opportunity to provide care and companionship to your furry family members. My experience spans handling pets of different sizes and temperaments, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well-cared for. Whether it’s keeping a playful pup entertained or providing calm and patient care for older pets, I’m ready to meet their needs with love and attention. As a master’s student at Northwestern University, my classes are primarily on weekends, and I work part-time at the school library during the week. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive pet care. I want to fill my free hours with the joy and companionship that comes from caring for animals, ensuring they receive the attention and love they deserve. I live in a pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment in Evanston with my boyfriend, who also loves animals. Our home is well-suited for hosting pets, offering a safe and comfortable environment for them to stay with us. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure they have a designated space to relax, access to their favorite toys, and adhere to their regular feeding and exercise routines. I prioritize open communication with pet owners to understand their pets’ specific needs and preferences, ensuring a seamless transition and a stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners. For in-home visits, I maintain the pets’ familiar environment, following their established routines to minimize any disruption. I am attentive to each pet’s unique requirements, whether it’s administering medication, engaging in playtime, or providing companionship during their owner’s absence. My goal is to offer personalized and loving care, ensuring every pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy, whether in my home or theirs.

I had a wonderful experience working with Martin. He is a true animal lover and took amazing care of my pup. He was kind, flexible and very professional. Martin was responsive and took a lot of pictures of walks and playing to keep me informed about my dog. I definitely would recommend him and use him in the future! Thanks a bunch!

I’ve know allison for about two years now and she has proven over and over again that animals are the most important thing in her life. The happiness she shows when a dog even just walks by is something to make you smile. She will probably always be the person that loves animals more than any one else I know.

Jessica is an impeccable pet sitter. The care, attention, and knowledge she brings to any family she serves is unparalleled. She has a deep sensitivity towards animals. It was obvious that she cared for the animals in our home as if they were her own. We trust her whole-heartedly and will ask for her to care for our pets without question in the future.

Foremost, Jesse is a caring, trustworthy person who continually demonstrates his true concern for the welfare of all animals. Not only is he dependable and unusually punctual, he is experienced with any age or medical condition. In the past, he has taken care of our senior bird, RC and our older dog Fig when we were traveling, and currently he makes sure that our 13 month old puppy Cookie gets her walks, food and water on time while I am working. I like that he is proactive and immediately lets me know if there is anything I need to be concerned about regarding her health or habits. I highly recommend him! Sally R

I booked Michael to help me watch my 5-month old Samoyed who has BIG fomo energy so I could walk my older dog and spend some 1:1 time with him. Michael is on-time, flexible, and dedicated to making Meda have a great time while I'm gone. I love the photos he sends at the end of the visit, and having him watch her gives me confidence to leave the house.

Lauren grew up with animals and is an avid animal lover. Whether you need her to just pop in to feed and snuggle your fur baby or take them out on a walk, your fur baby will be happy to see her. She loves the outdoors and taking walks, so would be a perfect match to burn some energy with your dog. I highly recommend Lauren!
