House Sitting in Forest Park

“Destiny is a true gem! My dog has separation anxiety and cannot be alone. He is also slow to warm up to strangers. But Destiny had him calm and wanting affection in under two minutes. :) I will definitely call on her again!”

“Coleen is the best of the best! Our #1 go to choice every time for our pup Saturn— he is always grateful for the generous attention, care, and top notch belly rubs he gets while his humans are away!”

“Xandi was kind, reliable and communicative from start to finish. They asked thoughtful questions and spent a good amount of time with my dog while I was gone for 5 days, making sure she got the attention and care she needed. Would definitely book Xandi again!”

“Malcolm is very flexible and punctual! He gave our dogs so much attention and love. I have a reactive and anxious dog I was very worried of being away from, but she loved him and did well. He provides thorough updates and is detailed. Would recommend for dog walks and house sitting needs!”

“Nyla’s was so great caring for my newly adopted dog for a night. He had just had his heartworm treatment and she followed all the instructions completely. Very communicative and cute photos. I hope she’ll come back in the future!”

“Karolly took great care of my senior dog Penny! She sent many photos which were much appreciated. Karolly was very communicative and always kept me updated. I would absolutely have Karolly watch Penny again.”

“Jamie is a super star at our house. She watched my old cat for a few days and he instantly felt comfortable around her. I’m definitely booking her services again, and you should too!”

“Diane is amazing! Our dog Juni is really tough. She's petrified of strangers and sometimes nips. She's very slow to warm up and sometimes won't even let sitters let her outside. There have been times when she boycotted eating for days, and even when we have family watch her, she's often sick for days after we get back because of stress. Diane worked with Juni and treated her with kindness, patience, and understanding. She gave her space and even did some emotion/body coding work with her which I thought was really cool. She treated our house with respect and we returned to it spotless. I felt very safe and comfortable having her stay in our home, and I think Juni did too. She was in great spirits when we got back and she even had a great few days of eating, no stress sickness. We so appreciate Diane's willingness to work with her! In addition, she was very communicative and thorough when it came to the details/logistics of the stay, and came by in advance to meet us and Juni. I would recommend Diane to anyone.”

“We booked Ariel on short notice (family thing) She was amazing. What a blessing and relief to have such a nice, thoughtful sitter. THANK YOU ARIEL!”

“April came and stayed with our new rescue, Willow. We were apprehensive because we have never left her before and she is still crate training. April is responsive, prompt, caring, and has a strong attention to detail. Our house was left in immaculate condition and Willow is happy to see us. I would highly recommend April and we’re so glad we found her.”

About: Hi there! My name is Julie and I’m a third year medical student and a mom to a 3-year-old cat named Theo. Ever since I had my first pet hamster at the age of 7, I’ve loved hanging out with and taking care of our furry friends. I spent my childhood volunteering in animal shelters and taking care of my aunt’s dog. During my time in medical school, I adopted my cat Theo, who has been the best companion to sit alongside while studying. I have experience in dog walking and dog/cat/house sitting for various friends and clients in the Forest Park/Oak Park area and would love to branch out and meet new furry friends! As a pet parent myself, I understand how anxious it can be to be away from your pets, so I always make sure to send ample and detailed updates with photos while I am with them. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends 💕 I’m currently taking the year off for research and my schedule allows for broad availability. I’m super flexible and happy to work around your schedule! I have a passion for taking care of others, whether they be people or animals! Safety and comfort of your pet will always come first.

“Aaron & Jessica were sitting our dogs Harold & Finn for six nights in our home! They stopped by to meet us ahead of our trip, communicated well leading up to and throughout our trip. The dogs were happy and the house spotless when we returned home. We would definitely work with Aaron & Jessica again and would highly recommend them!”

“Robin watched our two dogs overnight and did an amazing job working with their varying needs and personalities. Both of our dogs seemed to bond with her quickly during our meet & greet and when we got home our dogs seemed well cared for. We had a ton of pictures and updates to reassure us while away. We will certainly be asking Robin for help again on our next out of town trip.”

“Annie was amazing. She sent tons of pictures, took my pup on plenty of walks, and went above and beyond with her pet and home care. Thank you so much!”

“Very friendly and did a great job!”

“Grace was absolutely amazing. My dog loved her. Sent pics and did everything i asked. I would highly recommend her.”

“Maggie was great! She kept us informed and our boys were well cared for and our house was clean and tidy!”

“Sarah was amazing from the beginning! She was friendly, responsive, and great with all of the boys! She made me feel comfortable having her with them! Would recommend her to anyone, and will use her in the future!”

“Great sitter. Very friendly. Seems like my pup had a great time. Max is a pro dog sitter. Will book with him again. He asked good questions about dog related things that I forgot about”
