Pet Sitting Gage Park

About: I have been a dog parent for the last 13 years. I have experience with dogs with disabilities (I live with a three-legged baby, Mabel) and leash-reactive furbabies. As a sitter, I have taken care of all kinds of dogs but prefer a nice temperament if a dog comes to my home so he or she can get along with my own dogs. I am knowledgeable of dog training techniques and are observant of dog behaviors. I work from phone so your dog will rarely be alone. They will have consistent use of the yard throughout the day (under my supervision, never alone) and will have playmates in my two female dogs, Iris and Mabel (both very playful, mid-energy, mild temperament, zero dog/toy/foodnaggression, spayed, up-to-date on all vaccines). I work remotely so I am usually home. My two dogs are super friendly and love to play. I am also able to separate dogs if needed with dog gates while still allowing for all dogs to be comfortable! I love dogs so it is very important to me to provide everything they need while their parents are away. I live with two dogs myself and they are my life, and I will treat your dog in the same way. As a dog mom who has used sitters in the past, I understand the importance of respecting my client's home and only spend time on site as needed to take care of your angel. My goal is to be the person I would trust to take care of my own doggies (and my expectations of sitters are *pretty* high). Lastly, I am very detailed in following rules and care instructions, no matter how irrational your friends tell you they are. My care instructions for my own dogs is 4 pages long; I understand. Please note that the only caveat to the above is if any rules are abusive toward your dog (shock collars, prong collars, hitting, pushing, choking, underfeeding, other); I will not accept the booking.

“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!”

“Janiyah is by far the best cat sitter I’ve ever booked on Rover, so let me start there. I was so nervous to let someone watch my babies because it was my first time visiting home after moving to Chicago and I didn’t want to leave Chef & Roux behind. Janiyah was super reassuring and wrote detailed rover cards that helped keep me in the loop throughout my trip. At one point my food started to run out for the girls and I had to deliver more to the apartment. She offered to come back to the apartment early so my girls didn’t get too hungry waiting until her next visit. Her compassion and communication skills really stood out to me and I will be rebooking her. Oh wait, I already did! 😆”

About: I have lived with dogs all my life and am familiar with their basic needs. Just send a quick bio about your pet that would reveal their specific needs and I’ll be good to go! Also, I have cared for senior pets! As a new Chicago resident, my availability is open and I would be happy to include your furry friends into my daily routine. Stay wild! My home is a clean environment and it does like to keep that way, though it is understandable if your friend has a couple of accidents in the home due to the new environment, but if it persisted beyond 3-5 occurrences, I would not be able to continue care. The pet would likely stay on their bed in a closed bedroom at night.

About: Hi! My name is Judy and I have been pet sitting for several years and enjoy spending time with furry friends. I have a very friendly cat who is great with dogs (but I can keep them separate, if needed). I am a caretaker and have flexible hours, so I will be able to care, walk, and cuddle your pet as needed. My home will be a calm and relaxing space for your fur baby! I currently have open availability but I do take care of my mom. I can usually make timing work for last minute booking but flexibility is appreciated. I'd be happy to visit your pet at your home or host them in mine. Two level home with a small outdoor space (fenced) for sun-bathing and fresh air. I have a very friendly that enjoys company, so I can keep them together or separate based on your pets openness. I recently purchased sofa covers and two elevated pet beds and one regular pet bed (with washable covers) to keep your fur babies comfy and happy. Harrison park is a short 6 minute walk- ideal for daily strolls. *Please note, that although the house is generally quiet- it is located close to the train so there is some passing noise throughout the day/night.
