House Sitting Hyde Park

“Evan was terrific - great with the dogs, good communicator, and he left the house in wonderful condition. We booked him at the last minute and would definitely book him again. Highly recommended.”

“Zoe watched our sweet pup and her cousin for an evening. She was on time (early), friendly, and sweet.”

Colleen S.

“Ava was wonderful with our 3 pups. She knew how to manage their chaos and treated them so sweetly. She left the place looking great and really just went above and beyond. We will definitely be using her services again.”

Gail S.

“Bella did a great job with our pups. Great communication and she was very flexible working with our pack. I'd gladly have her back to watch them any time.”

“Jayden always does such a phenomenal job with my senior cat. My kitty is rather incontinent and very old, so naturally it is difficult to leave her with many people, but Jayden always treats her so well. They always ask specifically what my cat needs, keep me well updated, and my house cleaner than I left it. I never feel like I'm bothering them when I text and ask for updates. They really understand how hard it can be to leave your pet and that makes it so much easier to relax on vacation. Jayden is the only pet sitter we will use!!”

About: I have had 4 small dogs my whole life, but have also been a neighborhood pet sitter for dogs of all sizes for many years! I love all pups! I have Tuesdays and weekends off so I can spend the entire day with your pup while you’re away! We will go on walks and hang out outside :) I live in a dog friendly apartment. My apartment has a patio with access to a whole outdoor area where your pup can go potty and run around and sun bathe!

“Lucille was a fantastic sitter and our dog had a blast. She was so thoughtful about making sure our dog Lea felt comfortable, and she kept us updated with great photos and videos.”

“Mia is a wonderful dog sitter! Charlie and Cooper had a great time with her while we were out of town and she was very communicative with a check in and pictures every day.”

“Maya is the best! We love having her sit for us because she always exceeds our expectations. She walked, fed, played, AND trained Kenobi. He was so tired from all of the fun he had with her when we got home! Thank you so much again for accepting our last minute request, Maya. We appreciate you!”

“Jasmine was amazing yet again with my dobie, Storm. I had some last minute emergency changes to my trip and her flexibility and understanding really put me at ease during a stressful time, I'm so grateful for her support! Super communicative, Jasmine took great care of my girl and my place too. Also, Storm is reactive to other dogs and I trust Jasmine to know how to deal with that. Highly recommend.”

“Our pups felt comfortable right away. Clearly a dog lover and can read their body language. Thank you again!”

“They were AWESOME! Immediately we hit it off talking about our mutual interests. My dog gets a bit hyper but Levi was able to demonstrate techniques to calm him down and quickly. Once I left they sent me regular updates and I never had to worry about whether or not my kitten and dog were in good hands. I really appreciate the time and effort they put into making sure I was updated. I’ve never used Rover but I definitely will again. I also will definitely be using Levi. Thank you so much for everything!”

“Claire was fantastic. From the moment we met her, she was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took exceptional care of my anxious dog, Balu, and we were so relieved to come home to a relaxed, happy dog. Claire kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She stayed in our home and left everything spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if she’s available.”

About: I am experienced in very detailed pet care instructions and understand that those pets have unique needs. I have experience with administering medical supplements, adhering to specific feeding schedules and portion requirements. I have followed individualized activity plans and routines for both dogs and cats. I want to provide the consistency in a pets routine while their owners are away. I promote owner-established potty training methods in regards to 6 months and older potty training behaviors. My approach combines reliability, patience, and genuine affection for animals while providing pet owners with confidence that their pets are receiving attentive and compassionate care in their absence. I am a Retired NCAA WBB coach so I have time to care for your fur family! I Can adjust to your pets favorite routine! I stay in your home so that your fur family is in their most safe space! I stick to their routines and routes! I can include new enrichment activities and stick to what works for them! I understand crating and routine! I have also slept w 4 animals in bed so that were very supported during the owner’s mini vacation.

About: I have been around animals my entire life and grew up with both cats and dog breeds of various sizes! As a cat owner, I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level, and I am especially patient with shy or reserved cats. I also have experience caring for dogs through house sitting and pet sitting for friends and family. I pay close attention to each pet's routine, behavior, and needs to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Whether it's playtime, walks, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I am committed to giving your pets the care and attention they deserve. As a graduate student, I am often able to accommodate pet care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a check-in, feeding, a walk, playtime, or simply some company, I do my best to work around their routine and provide dependable care. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I am happy to discuss scheduling needs in advance to ensure I can provide the attention your pet deserves. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet's schedule and needs. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize comfort and consistency by following feeding schedules, administering basic care, and ensuring pets have the level of attention that they need. I make sure to be aware of changes in behavior and like to provide consistent updates to keep clients in the loop. When inside a clients home, I also make sure to leave everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it.

Happy to go on long walks, play fetch or with the favorite toy, and send you cute pics of your pup along the way. I’m a recent graduate from the University of Chicago and still on the hunt for a full-time job. To keep me sane during the job search process, I would love to care for your pet(s) throughout the week & weekend! Happy to send photos of our walks! I will make sure your dogs have food & water. I can also easily clean up puppy messes if they are still potty training. Please let me know what their favorite treat is too!

“Paloma is so sweet with my pup, I just know they are going to be best friends once he gets through his shyness. Paloma is very gentle and caring, and I trust my dogs special needs will be handled in her care.”

About: Hello!! My name is Julia I’m 23 and I love animals. Ever since I was little I’ve always had a special interest in nature and animas especially cats! One of my favorite childhood memories is rescuing feral kittens in my neighborhood and finding homes for them. In my teens years I started dog and cat sitting for friends and family and ever cared for horses and rabbits in my high schools FFA. As of now I’m a painter and artist with a lot of time on my hands and would love to spend some quality time with your pets! When staying with a pet I like to follow a schedule for potty and feeding times since familiar routines can calm pets that might be anxious around new people :)

“Right off the bat I got an excellent first impression of Nikki. She is very warm and friendly. She approached my cat slowly, allowing the greeting to be on my cat’s terms. It showed me she understood cats. During the stay she sent pictures and updates which put me at ease. Nikki was extremely flexible with booking times. When I got home my linens and towels were clean which was not requested or expected. She really above and beyond! She’s now my go-to gal! If you’re looking for someone kind, communicative and great with animals… well, look no further!”
