Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Hyde Park

“Brianna was super communicative, timely, and cared well for my cat while giving detailed updates! Would book again!”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog and cat for 7 years and before then was the go to sitter for all my friends with pets! I’m also a PhD student in psychology working in animal behaviors. Since young, I understand animals and respect them: how we treat them influences their behaviors. I’ve got the heart and the training to give your babies the best care they deserve when you are away! My schedule is flexible as long as we communicate in advance. Mornings work the best at the moment but let me know what you need I’ll try to make it work :) I have a comfy apartment with one dog and one cat. They’ll keep your baby company if you board with us. I’m skilled in introducing new animals to each other, I try to adjust to each animals temperaments. On other visits I try to get to your babies first as well, and of course your tips are always appreciated as you know them the best!

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

“Lucille is excellent with our dog Kaia. We thank her for spending time showering her with belly rubs and attention. Looking forward to more visits with her.”

About: I treat every pet like family, patient, observant, and caring. I may be new, but I come with love, responsibility, and a pocket of treats Working full time with reduced summer hours, plus weekends & holidays off, I’m available to offer consistent, caring attention and companionship for your pets! :) Pets in my care have access to walking paths, a dog park, a wash station, and designated potty areas. Crate-trained pups are welcome! I keep communication clear because guessing games are for pets, not pet parents

About: In addition to taking care of my own three dogs, I have spent the past four summers working at a doggy daycare/ kennel. I have professional training and experience in taking care of animals of a variety of sizes and various needs. With over 50 dogs in our care every day, I am experienced in creating an environment that is safe, clean, and fun. I feel prepared to handle anything that is thrown my way !! I am a graduate student here in Chicago, so I have classes four days a week, but I can do walks and drop in visits for most of the afternoon, and dogsitting and walks Saturday-Monday. I am unable to take pets into my own home, but in a clients home I am prepared to work with whatever is available, including spending as much time outside as necessary and bringing treats and a slip lead to help with walking, training, and crating. For pets who prefer to spend their time indoors, I will make sure they still get plenty of attention and mental stimulation.

“It is clear Paloma knows how cats are and how to approach them. Koji is a very shy cat and Paloma most definitely got her to come out of her comfort zone without stressing her out.”

“This is my second booking with Mia. I received daily updates over the two weeks I was away and once again returned home to a happy, healthy cat.”

Leah C.

About: I love both dogs and cats. I have been fostering cats for the last four years, from kittens to senior cats, with a range of personalities. I have also provided free catsitting services to the foster organization I work with. I grew up with dogs and am very comfortable with all kinds of dogs--but I especially love big dogs! I am a responsible law student with a flexible schedule as I study for the bar exam. I am currently finishing up law school, with only one class per day, so I have a flexible schedule that can work around your preferences. I do not plan to have pets in my home because I currently have a foster cat of my own! But I am very respectful of others' spaces and will leave it just as I found it. I can let your dog out in a yard or take him or her out on a walk.

“Qutress was great with our shy cat, who even let Qutress pet her which is quite rare for newcomers! She was very communicative and gave us wonderful updates every day. Highly recommend!”

Luke M.

“It is never easy to leave a pet for a week, but it is much easier when you know your pet is cared for and save. Furthermore, we came home to a happy kitty and a clean apartment! Maya was communicative and professional. Thank you!!”

Jamie S.

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

Chevonne C.

“Coretta did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were away. She went above and beyond - taking care of unforeseen issues that popped up and sending thoroughly documented (and cute) reports after each visit. I would recommend her to anyone as a trustworthy, compassionate, and knowledgeable caretaker for your animals.”

About: With three years of focused experience as a cat owner and sitter, I’ve learned that every cat is a unique individual with their own language and routine. My approach isn’t one-size-fits-all; I prioritize safety, comfort, and personalized attention to ensure your furry friend feels secure and loved while you’re away. My work schedule is actually a huge advantage for pet care! Because I work a stable 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM shift, I am home and available during the key times pets need attention: early mornings, late afternoons, evenings, and all weekend long. In your home, my focus is on providing worry-free care by treating your space and your pet with the utmost respect and attention. Because I work a stable 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM shift, I am available for the key times pets need attention—whether that’s an afternoon drop-in, a long walk, or an evening stay—ensuring your pet is never alone for too long. I prioritize safety by rigorously following your instructions, ensuring doors are always locked behind me, and keeping a close eye on your pet to prevent them from slipping out. I also believe in leaving your home better than I found it; I’ll clean up litter tracks, wash food bowls, and handle small tasks like mail retrieval to keep your home running smoothly. With daily photo updates and a proactive eye for any potential issues, you can relax knowing your home and pet are in secure, caring hands.

“Cassie is amazing at what she does and she is very professional and warm. She took great care of our cat and our home. She was always punctual and always sent wonderful notes and pictures. We would happily choose her again to take care of our cat.”

“Ashleigh always does a great job and sends detailed updates. It’s always a relief to know Ashleigh will have everything taken care of back at home.”

“Dominique is excellent. She is reliable and great with our big and small dogs. We plan to ask her to help our dogs every time we need a dog walker or drop in visit.”
