House Sitting Lake View

“Duncan was great with Teddy. He provided updates, followed all of our preferences, and we came home to a very happy puppy. He even helped by bringing up packages (which in the midst of wedding planning, was quite a few) and left the apartment better than he found it. So glad we booked Duncan and we’ll definitely do so again in the future!”

“Dylan was a lifesaver when we had another cancellation at the last minute. He was professional and great with our senior pup. We'd definitely work with him again.”

“We have used Ryan’s services for walking our dogs and staying in our home and caring for them. He is fantastic!! Can’t say enough nice things about him. His communication was excellent and he would share photos of our pets. Highly recommend him.”

“We had an amazing experience with our Rover sitter watching our 3 kitties while we were away. She was incredibly attentive, kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, and really helped ease our anxiety about being away from home. Our cats were well cared for, and we came home to a clean and well maintained place, which we truly appreciated after traveling. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches and goes above and beyond to make both the animals and owners feel comfortable. We would absolutely book with her again and she will definitely be our go to sitter moving forward. Highly recommend!”

“Nathan was responsive and thorough throughout the weekend. Nala can be on the more difficult side and he handled her with care. He was also very respectful in our space. We appreciate it!”

“Alice watched my Australian Shepherd while I was out of town for 4 days. She gave me updates throughout the visit. I would book her again. She was easy to arrange a visit with and my dog seemed happy after.”

Katrina K.

“Luisa was amazing! This was my first time leaving my puppy, and she did a great job providing updates, playing with my puppy, maintaining his schedule & came over before for a meet and greet. Super wonderful to work with.”

Brittany R.

“Carly was great with our boy Louis! She was very communicative and took a lot of pictures which we love. I’d highly recommend her for any services with your pet.”

Justin W.

“Maeve was great! My dogs loved her right away and I was very comfortable leaving her with them! She sent updates and photos everyday and left our apartment even better than we did. Will definitely book again in the future!”

Katie K.

“Claire did a fantastic job house sitting for my senior dog and three cats over a long weekend. I really appreciated her communication and picture updates. Highly recommend!”

Carla W.

“Another great sitting experience with Eirwen. Great communication around picking Enzo up and thwn hanging out with him and Salami and staying longer because my flight was delayed.”

Chris L.

“Sky took very good care of our dog Bisteca and our apartment. Bisteca is on the older side, takes a lot of meds, and it is very reactive, so he can be a handful. He was doing great when we came back from a 5-day trip, and the apartment was super tidy. Would definitely book again!”

“Gail took great care of our little Nugget and we are so very grateful. Our dog can be very particular, stubborn and has a particular set of care needs - most of which are typical of small terriers, but does require a caretaker/owner with patience and good attention detail. Gail took all of that on with ease -she was communicative and had a positive atttude which we really appreciate. She asked great questions and worked with us to problem solve when Nugget was not cooperating. It felt really good to leave our pet in her care and looking forward to having her look after our dog in the future!”

Deena S.

“Henry agreed to take care of my dog at the last moment. He was thorough in asking for instructions and took very good care of my dog. My dog is very shy but they became friends very quickly - using him as headrest while we were gone. Thanks !!”

About: I spent 15 years as the primary caregiver for my pit bull, from training her as a puppy at 5 months old through her senior years, learning her routines and moods inside and out and adapting her care as she aged, including managing mobility changes and medication in her later years. For the past few months I've also been pet sitting for other dogs, giving me a feel for adjusting to different personalities, routines, and households. I know what it takes to make a dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether that's a high-energy pup who needs structure or an older dog who needs a gentler pace and extra patience. I bring the same attentiveness, reliability, and genuine care to every dog I look after that I gave my own for 15 years. I'm currently job searching, which gives me a flexible schedule for drop-in visits throughout the day and week. I can typically be available on short notice for quick check-ins, whether that's a midday visit, feeding, or just stopping by to give your dog some attention and a bathroom break. I'm happy to swing by multiple times a day if needed to keep your pup comfortable while you're away. For drop-in visits, I focus on keeping things calm and consistent with your dog's normal routine. I'll follow whatever instructions you leave for feeding, medication, or playtime, and I always do a quick check of food, water, and the yard or living space before I leave. I'm attentive to your dog's body language so I can tell if something feels off, and I always lock up and leave things exactly as I found them.

About: I’ve had dogs in the family since I was little. With both parents working it was up to my sister and I to take care of them. I’ve had experience with reactive dogs as I’ve had two pitbulls that were unfortunately poorly socialized, and I know how important it is to keep a tight leash. That doesn’t mean I love them any less :) Currently my daily life has no set schedule, this means I can help out whenever! Pet care is a priority so I will be putting that ahead of any plans that arise. I always follow their routine to keep them as comfortable as possible. I know boredom can be a big problem especially with hyper breeds, so I always give the time to keep them entertained and engaged. Bathroom breaks and walks are consistent to keep them on a schedule.

“I can’t say enough good things about Rachel! She house sat and watched my cat and dog for two weeks while I was out of the country. Being abroad can make you worry, but Rachel kept me completely at ease with her excellent communication. She sent regular photo updates and notes that showed how much she genuinely cared for my pets. Both my dog and cat absolutely loved her. She is responsible, deeply caring, and a total professional. I will definitely be hiring her again!”

About: I am from Los Angeles, California, so I am very comfortable walking in the city and ensuring safety. I have several years of hands-on experience caring for both senior dogs and puppies, which allows me to adapt to each pet’s unique needs, no matter how big or small. I’m comfortable preparing special diets and administering medications for senior dogs, making sure they stay healthy and comfortable. With puppies, I have experience supporting crate training and potty training, using patience and consistency to reinforce good habits. I pride myself on being attentive, reliable, and on treating every pet with the same care and love I would give my own. *Rates can be negotiated to fit what you need! I’m a current graduate student at UIC who absolutely loves caring for animals! Since I don’t have pets of my own anymore, pet sitting and dog walking are a meaningful way for me to spend time with animals. I have 5+ years of experience caring for cats and dogs, including puppies and senior pets with special routines. As a grad student, I have flexibility in my weekly schedule and can easily build pet care into my routine. I’m dependable, attentive, and love giving pets the same care and attention I’d want for my own. Whether you need walks, drop-in visits, or in-home sitting, I’d love to help! I prioritize safety, trust, and making pets feel comfortable wherever they’re staying. I’m happy to welcome pets into my home for boarding or care, and I’m equally comfortable caring for them in their own home where they feel most secure. I love dog walking and sitting, cat sitting, and spending time playing with animals to keep them active, engaged, and feeling loved. I always follow specific instructions closely, whether that means feeding routines, medications, crate training or house rules, and I make sure pets are cared for in a clean, calm, and safe environment while you’re away.

“Megan did a great job w/ our baby! She was very attentive and took her on plenty of long walks beyond just our neighborhood. She also did a great job watching our home and handling a few tasks! Would for sure book again!”

“Courtney was absolutely wonderful! Very communicative and made me feel totally comfortable carrying for my pups! Will definitely be using her again!”
