“Kristina was so sweet to my kitties! She took great care of them and did a wonderful job communicating with me. I loved the pictures she sent while I was away!”
“Sandy does a wonderful job! Always on time, and never any issues. Sandy has also responded numerous times unexpectedly when we are in a pinch. Most reliable sitter we have ever used on Rover. Highly recommend!”
“Megan watched our elderly dog for 8 days. He needed medication and special food twice a day. She made me feel comfortable that he was taken care of and I didn’t feel as though I had to worry. The pictures also helped!!! Would use again.”
“Julie and her daughter teamed up to come over 5x a day and take care of our 2 older big dogs! She gave us great pictures and kept us updated on how they were. Both dogs need medicine 2x per day and she kept it all organized! It was a great first experience for leaving our pups home alone for a weekend!”
About: I truly treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I have experience caring for both energetic puppies and gentle senior pets, and I’m always patient, calm, and attentive to their needs. Whether it’s playtime, a walk, or just some extra cuddles, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I also pay close attention to routines and special instructions, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands! I’ll be teaching during the day, but before and after school, pet care is my top priority. I always make time for morning and evening visits, walks, feedings, and cuddles. My schedule is consistent, and I’m committed to making sure your pets feel loved and cared for, even while you’re away. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow your routines closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or medications—and always give lots of love and attention. I keep your home tidy and your pet happy, treating both with the utmost respect and care.
About: I specialize in personalized in-home care for your non-human family. I will take great care of your loved ones, giving them at least the same level of care that you would. I've owned huskies, fostered dogs recovering from surgery to get them ready for adoption, worked with rescue dogs that have "unique" personalities, and cats of all varieties. I offer overnights (dinner through breakfast and post breakfast potty break). I’m a software consultant by day so I actually stay at your home the entire time you’re gone. I will work with you to customize a plan that gives your loved ones the best experience, and gives you the peace of mind that your home and pets are in the best of hands! This profession allows me to combine both my software consulting business and my love of animals at the same time. As I stay in your home for the duration of the assignment, I simply adapt their schedule into mine. I do require a 3 day / 2 night minimum assignment. I respect your home, your timeline and your privacy. I am keenly aware of safety risks and will do all I can to minimize them
“Samantha is so sweet with our dogs, and was extremely easy to schedule and she was exceptional taking care of our 2 dogs. We will look forward to our next trip, knowing our pets will be so happy to see her again.”
About: I’m your go-to pet sitter for dependable, compassionate care. From active pups to chill cats, I customize my services to fit your pet’s personality and routine. Whether it’s a weekend trip or daily visits, I make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and entertained while you’re away. Let’s keep those tails wagging! I have two cats Luna and Bellatrix as well as a dog named Roxie! Morning walks and play time are a must in our house. Both cats get their morning wet food and pets. Roxie loves to visit her favorite spots in the neighborhood on our morning walks. On weekends we take her to the trails by our house to go exploring. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities—I follow their routines closely, provide a secure environment, and give them the attention they deserve. Whether it’s a playful pup or a shy cat, you can trust me to care for them with patience, love, and consistent updates for your peace of mind.
“Steph did a great job of taking care of our pup! We appreciated her being available on such short notice and her communication with how our dog, Charlie was doing while we were gone. Thanks Steph!”
About: I have taken care of pets for a long time and have been a pet owner my whole life! I have worked with puppies and older dogs so i am comfortable with any type of special treatments that your pups need! I am student at DePaul university but I am currently enrolled in only four classes so my schedule is pretty flexible! Weekend availability may be a little different since I visit my family a lot. I will attend to all your pet’s needs and make sure that they’re are having a good and safe time. I will make sure they are comfortable with me and their surroundings
About: I’ve cared for my own dog for 10 years, which taught me a lot about daily pet responsibilities and the bond animals form with us. For the past two years, I’ve also volunteered at the Humane Society, where I walk dogs, clean kennels, and help care for cats. This hands-on experience has helped me become confident handling a variety of animal temperaments and needs. I bring patience, attentiveness, and a real love for animals to every interaction. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and affection. I start my mornings with feeding and walking, followed by playtime or any special care needed throughout the day. Evenings are dedicated to another walk, meals, and winding down with cuddles or calm time. I maintain a flexible schedule to meet each pet’s unique needs. I prioritize safety by pet-proofing my environment, removing any harmful items, and creating a calm and clean space. I follow the pet parent’s instructions carefully and ensure routines are maintained. Whether in my home or theirs, I monitor pets closely, provide positive reinforcement, and keep them comfortable with familiar items like their toys or bedding. I also keep emergency contacts and a vet plan ready at all times.
About: I’ve taken care of all pets as a Mother of two kids and 2 dogs, my family and friends have always counted on me to help with all their pets needs. Your pet will feel the love and care they need when your away or when you just need a little help! I’m more than willing to come play with your pets or have them over for a pet and play anytime. I work from home and with two teenagers I have a lot of help! I have a husky and a cavapoo that love to play if you need to bring your pet to my home. I can come to your home and play, visit and walk with lots of treats and TLC
