Pet Sitting Lincoln Park

About: Growing up with dogs, they’ve always been a huge part of my life! I’ve also worked as a professional dog walker 3+ years while at Northwestern, volunteered at PAWS, and now help care for the two Aussies I live with. Im in Lincoln Park / Lakeview with morning & afternoon availability for walks & drop‑ins
 Main focus is to keep your dog happy, safe, and stick to their usual routine. Whether they love extra sniff breaks or need a little patience getting out the door, I’ll go at their pace and do what works best for them & for you! I send photo & text updates during & after each visit. Always happy to do a meet and greet so your pup can say hi before you book. I’m available M-F 6am to 3pm. I can do weekly recurring walks or one time walks. I’m also flexible with changes to scheduling. Message me with whatever you’re looking for timing wise & we can make it work! I always keep the leash on, steer clear of other dogs, bring treats to keep the pups motivated (will ensure no allergies prior), and bring a dog water bottle on walks too! Happy to follow any instructions and cater to your dogs unique needs/preferences.

“Makenzie did a great job cat sitting for us! My cat is quite shy, but she warmed up to Makenzie over the short period she was watching her. I appreciate that she spent a good chunk of time hanging out with Eve each visit. I would def recommend her care!”

About: I have multiple years of experience pet sitting for both cats and dogs. I’ve been an owner for multiple cats for 6 years, and have worked with many dog breeds, including Goldens, Labs, and Australian Shepards. I am an animal lover and will make your pet feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. Please let me know if you have any questions on my experience or availability! I have a flexible schedule, so feel free to reach out and chat about what times work best for you! I live in Lincoln Park and work Downtown. I have experience with a wide range of pet personality types and behavioral tendencies. I understand the signs they give and when to show love or leave them alone. I know what their boundaries are in the apartment/house/yard and am conscious about all food, plastics, plants, and any other materials being left around them.

“Five Stars!!! Rachel did a wonderful job caring for my cat Doc! She provided the basics (food, water, and litter box) impeccably. As important, she made an effort to understand his personality, and tailored her attention to him accordingly. Finally, she e-mailed a few pictures of Doc to me every day, which reassured me and reduced my loneliness over the course of my trip.”

“Stephanie did a great job watching Knox and made sure to spend extra time with him knowing we were away for a while. I would definitely recommend her to others looking for a pet sitter!”

“Niko and I had some hiccups in the beginning of his first visit with us, but after that everything went smoothly. My cat is kinda a turd and I booked Niko knowing he had lots of cat experience. His visits seemed to have went as smoothly as I could have hoped for. Great communication and that was very appreciated.”

“Madelynn did a great job! One of our dogs gets very anxious but warmed up to Madelynn much quicker than most people. She took care of our pups and gave them some love while we were out of town :)”

“Natalie came over to meet Gadget and me before watching her. She checked in on Gadget for about a week, and I couldn’t have appreciated her more. She was flexible, communicative, and sent thoughtful updates that made being away from kitty 1000% less stressful. Gadget and her family thanks you! 🐾💕”

About: My friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs, and I have a cat of my own that I have been taking care of since three months old. I have learned a lot of patience from adoption! I work remotely 3 days a week and am happy to stop by early mornings or after 5 PM. I am available most weekends depending when needed. Feel free to message me to schedule a meet and greet! I am very attentive to your pets’ personal needs as every pet is different and has its own routine. I am responsible and love playing with dogs and cats. Willing to do the not very fun stuff like scooping litter and picking up after your dog. I have a kind heart and loving attitude and do everything with care. :)

“Rakesh was great! He was very communicative and sent me many pics of my kitties. He was also super nice and cleaned some of my place up without me even asking! I highly recommend him to anyone!”

“This is the second time Anna watched my cat, and she was so communicative and easy to work with! She’s so sweet and Opie is always happy after her visits :)”

“Ryan is an incredible sitter! After first meeting him I knew he was the right choice for my cat as he's got a animal lover soul to him that made me feel like my cat Toast was in good hands. My cat absolutely took to him and enjoyed his company during the visits. Ryan is communicative, responsive, and I can tell has a big heart. He shared cute pics of Toast while I was away and it made me feel great knowing someone like Ryan was watching my little man Toast. I will absolutely be booking Ryan again and highly recommend him. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Thank you for taking care of my little man Toast!”

“Emma is SO excellent! She took amazing care of my boys, who are admittedly quite special, and went way above and beyond what I asked of her. She is very communicative and conscientious, and I felt extremely comfortable leaving my cats in her care. If you’re in need of someone to look after your babies, I can highly recommend Emma!”

Olivia R.

“Megan was an excellent kitty sitter! I will hire her again and definitely recommend her. She was very responsive and offered to come by to meet the kitties and learn their routine ahead of her scheduled visits. She sent updates daily including photos so I knew my guys were getting lots of love and attention. Thanks Megan!”

“Nathan was attentive to my old dogs specific requirements and was enthusiastic about making sure he got the attention needed. Nathan was communicative and reliable. He took the stress out of my traveling and leaving my dog alone.”
