Pet Sitting Hyde Park

“Paloma was extremely responsive and responsible for the two weeks I was away. She took wonderful care of my kitty. I’d highly recommend booking her!”

About: Hi! I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels for most of my life. I’ve had dogs my entire life and cats of my own for 10 years, and I began pet sitting at 16. I’m comfortable with active and senior pets, structured routines, and medication administration. I follow instructions closely, provide reliable updates, and keep clients’ homes clean and secure. I’m currently taking a planned sabbatical while attending school and pursuing a career change. I welcome one-time and recurring walks, drop-ins, and house sits. . I have class Tuesdays and Thursdays. On these days, I can provide early-morning and late-afternoon or evening care but will be away during normal working hours. I may also have evening commitments or part-time service shifts. . I keep my calendar current and confirm exact availability before booking. I expect clients to clearly communicate their requested schedule and services. . SERVICE AREA I’m based in Hyde Park and primarily serve clients within roughly two miles of my home—generally no more than a 20-minute bike ride. I may accept requests outside this area for an additional travel fee. . PRICING Listed rates reflect standard care. Custom pricing may apply for medication administration, medical monitoring, extended in-home presence, significant travel, or other care beyond my standard services. Any adjustment will be discussed and confirmed through Rover before booking. . CANCELLATIONS Bookings are subject to my seven-day cancellation policy. Please notify me promptly if your plans change. Standard house sitting includes overnight care, up to two feedings, and up to two walks or potty outings per day. Additional feedings, walks, outings, or care requiring a tightly timed or extended schedule are subject to an additional service fee. House sitting does not include continuous or 24-hour presence; pets must be able to remain safely alone during agreed timeframes. I leave as needed to care for my own cat and attend class or other scheduled obligations. . Drop-ins and walks are provided for the booked 30 or 60 minutes. Requested care must reasonably fit within that time; clients with more involved routines should book 60 minutes. . Walks are paced to each dog’s age, health, energy, and training using client-provided equipment and instructions regarding routes, commands, and reactivity. . For all services, I follow entry and alarm instructions, confirm that pets and the home are secure before leaving, and provide an update after each visit.

“If you love your pets, you’ll love Coretta! The amount of love she gave to my cats seems like she treated them as her own! She was very informative and gave very detailed follow ups after each visit! I don’t think anyone would disagree that she’s VERY good at what she does. We will be looking for her every time we need a sitter! Thank you again Coretta and we hope to see you again!”

“Jasmine was amazing, especially on short notice. Thorough, communicative, and proactive. My favorite is when she left the light on because she knew it would be dark soon and wanted to provide some comfort. It was everyone you’d want in someone caring for your pup. Will definitely use her again.”

Mironda R.

“The best summaries I’ve ever received from a pet sitter here on Rover. Will definitely book again with Huibo in the future!!”

“Qutress was so considerate, sweet, and caring with our kitty cat and we would absolutely love to book her again!! She did everything we needed to a T and sent us lots of helpful updates and cute photos too! We felt really happy and relieved as anxious pet parents knowing that Qutress was nearby and available to help with drop ins while we were out of town :)”

“Thanks so much Che Maria, your description sounds completely typical of our quirky diva! Also appreciate your flexibility and responsiveness as we worked out all of the details!”

“Evan did a wonderful job watching our cat for a long weekend. He was communicative and responsive, which made us feel comfortable and confident that our cat was in great hands.”

Anna B.

“Haley was very friendly, and kept us well updated each day on how out cat was doing. Gus warmed up to her instantly. We would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter, and look forward to using her again in the future.”

Drew A.

“I am so happy that I found Christina to take care of my little Rainbow while I was away! She was very caring and they bonded like love at first sight for our meet and greet. It shows that Christina really loves cats and went out of her way to make sure that mine was comfortable and happy! When I came home, everything was neat and clean and Rainbow was happy and ready to play as if I had never left! I would highly recommend Christina and book her again, thank you so much!”

Tracee H.

“Thank you so much for being a responsible pet sitter!”

“Jasmine R was awesome. Thorough and punctual. My kitty was happy and my home was just as I left it. I will use her services again.”

Stacey S.

“Erin was a great help for us on short notice. She was promptly communicative, reliably on time, followed instructions perfectly, and most importantly treated my bunny with care and affection. Thank you Erin!”

“Great! No complaints. Will be scheduling again soon. My cats loved her and she followed instructions exactly.”

About: I've been raised with 2 dogs in the household and have taken care of them on my own for long periods at a time. I currently work at a doggy daycare called The Pawfect Friend in Chciago and have experienced working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I always enjoy tending to a dog's needs and I love treating them as if they were my very own! I am currently a college student at SAIC but I take care of my partner's dog whenever I am home. I make sure to provide measured amounts of food, refilling his water bowl, and taking him out to enjoy long walks around different types of scenery. After all, it's his life to experience the world as well. I remain very organized and plan ahead when scheduling events so you can expect the same from me in terms of communication and stable times set to take care of your pet. I will make sure that each dog gets some play time and some relaxing time in their own home, regardless of walks and feeding times.

“Communicated so well and was super kind! Very responsive and helpful!”

About: I volunteered at animal shelters during high school and undergraduate, providing care to dogs and cats. I also participated in a training program for the dogs in the shelters, making them more adoptable. I am currently back in my hometown, about to move out of state for school, so while I am here, your pet is 100% my top priority! I have been surrounded by animals my entire life and will make sure they are happy and healthy while you are away. I will make sure they are fed, played with, and loved!

About: As a big sister and true animal lover, I have delighted in taking responsibility and caring for the children and fur-babies of family, friends, and neighbors for most of my life. My experience with dogs and cats is extensive, including: extended periods of 24/7 care for varying ages, sizes, and needs; following veterinary instructions for administering medications; and providing proper everyday care such as bathing, feeding, walking, and basic grooming, and of course plenty of play-time and snuggles! For walks and check-ins I am flexibly available on Saturdays and Sundays, and during the week I am available Tuesdays 3pm - 6pm, Wednesdays 8am - 11am, and Fridays 1pm - 6pm. I am also able to provide overnight/multiday care at my home for cat-friendly pets. My apartment is a spacious 3 bed/2 bath (I have 3 couches to choose from for naptime and snuggles!), with plenty of parks, trails and green spaces nearby to walk and play. I have a sweet kitty at home who loves to play with other cats, and dogs too! Some things to keep in mind when deciding if my home is right for your fur-baby's stay: I live on the 2nd floor and my building does not have an elevator; if your pet uses a crate you will need to provide this for their stay; I have a cat and so will only be able to welcome cat-friendly pets to my home.

“Bola’s wonderful! We’re glad to have her support with our dogs.”
