Pet Sitting Lower West Side

“Andres was great with my cat even though she doesn’t love new people. He sent plenty of pictures and made sure that she had water and food and clean litter. He went out of his way to accommodate when I needed to extend my trip. Will definitely book him again!”

“Breanna is such a wonderful rover! She cleaned Neo’s litter box, fed him, and was very considerate and careful with my living space. I felt completely safe leaving my little baby with her. It’s clear she really cares about this little guy. She’s so sweet and communicative, both Neo and I really like her!”

“Yesenia was great! From the first meet and greet, we could tell that our cat was comfortable with her, and she’s usually pretty skittish with new people. The regular visits and accompanying pictures were a huge relief while we were away. We’ll definitely ask for Yesenia again next time we’re out of town.”

“Eunice went above and beyond with my Tev! She came back the second day even though Tevi was having a hard time during the first visit. Eunice was amazing and very communicative.”

About: I've taken care of dogs for my neighbors and family friends throughout middle school and into high school! I have experience walking dogs and taking care of them when their people were on vacation! I am happy to send pictures or videos updates of your pup and will gladly play with them! I am excited to have wide availability to take care of animals! I am open to mornings, evenings, and would be more than happy to stay overnight! I really enjoy spending time with animals! It's important to me to get to know your pet! I would love for you to share with me how you care for your pets, so that I can care for them as well as you do! I love to cuddle, play, and engage with all dogs and cats!

About: I have grown up having dogs my whole life and love being around them! I've pet sat for friends and family countless times and always have a great time taking care of them. Working from home, I'm able to provide your pup with lots of care and attention. I go on tons of walks daily and am able to take your dog out every 2-4 hours. I live alone and have no pets so your pet will be getting my undivided attention! I have ample room for them to roam around and make sure that they are comfortable as can be :)

About: Hello i'm Janelle C.(she/her)! A dog walker and pet sitter with 5 years of professional experience at Fur Real K9's as well as with my own clients here in Chicago. I also have a life time of experience loving and caring for animals, including my own two adorable black cats Elizabeth and Momo. In my childhood I took care of all the cats, dogs and horses on our family farm back in Missouri. In my 5 years as a pet sitter i've taken care of everything from geckos to guinea pigs. In that time I took classes in pet CPR and behavior management, particularly for large dogs. I know I can give your pet the love, care and attention they deserve. I hope you trust me to be your next pet sitter! I'm free on weekends (Friday night, Saturday and Sunday) for pet sitting and walking as well as over nights. I have time on Wednesdays for walks and home visits. I consider myself to be an attentive, patient and caring pet parent and I look after my clients pet's just as I would my own. I've worked with all sorts of animals, I've broken up ugly dog fights, changed diapers and sat with pups through seizures

“Jenna is wonderful! Extremely friendly, quick response time, and took great care of our cat. Even stayed a little later one visit because our Pepper was feeling extra cuddly. Would definitely book her again and recommend her for others. Thanks, Jenna!”

About: For the past several years, I’ve cared for dogs across Chicago and built strong, trusting relationships with many repeat clients. I love getting outside, moving my body, and helping each dog feel confident and comfortable being themselves. Animals go through changes just like we do – they have off days, get distracted, or need extra reassurance. I show up with patience, steady energy, and clear communication to support them through it. I take care of my own energy so I can meet them where they are with clarity and presence. My regular pups greet me with gentle hugs, big stretches, and tail wags before leaning in for scratches – the small rituals mean a lot to me. On our walks, I stay aware of my surroundings to reduce surprises and follow through with any training routines you use at home. I talk to them, offer a sense of choice and safety, and let them sniff and explore their favorite spots. Background: My bond with animals started early. I grew up in the south suburbs of Chicago, visiting my grandparent’s farm in Dekalb – gravitating to outdoor chores with their horses, dogs, cats, and chickens. We adopted some barn cats and as a teen I got my first pup, a black lab–springer spaniel mix. I lived in Seattle for seven years searching for "ocean, mountains, and trees" while working as a Project Manager and trying to balance my logical and creative sides. During that time, I began a meaningful therapy and coaching journey that sharpened my empathy, deepened my self-awareness, and taught me how to regulate my energy – all of which now naturally supports the way I work with animals. Caring for animals has become one of the most meaningful and inspiring parts of my week. I typically am available for walks and drop-ins between 8am–6pm on weekdays. Some clients book me for 30-60min walks 2-3 days each week – usually filling the afternoon portion of my day. I am also available as-needed, ie when clients travel for work or just need extra help. My schedule is usually blocked Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:30–4:30pm assisting as a Care Companion for an elder client. I’m pretty flexible, and happy to chat through what you need so we can find a schedule that works for everyone. I always encourage a meet-and-greet so we can all exchange energy, ease into the connection, and establish trust before the first walk or stay. My goal is to get to know your dog’s personality, routines, and needs. I’ll ask questions about their temperament, preferences, favorite enrichment activities, triggers, walk routes, house rules, feeding schedule, and anything else that helps me support them well. When I’m caring for your pup, we spend the first day finding our flow. I stick to your established routines and follow all standard safety practices. If you’re comfortable with visiting a nearby dog park or trail, I drive a Subaru Crosstrek with space for a dog and/or a crate.

“Monica and Calvin were so great! It was clear from the extensive photos that they really took the time to get to know our cat, and engage her and make her feel taken care of. We will definitely look to book them again next time we leave town.”

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets, from puppies, kittens, small dogs, large dogs and more. Senior dogs with medicinal needs are a breeze! I work remotely and have plenty of time to play with your pups and cats! I have two pups of my own who hang out with me and my partner all day! I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly pups who love to sun bathe. We love a game of tug or fetch and we love to snuggle.
