Pet care is already a part of my daily routine, as I currently care for my own pets and understand the importance of consistency, attention, and reliability. I work as a State Farm agent in Chicago’s West Loop, and because it is a family-owned business that my family manages and operates daily, I have some flexibility within my schedule when needed. During the week, I am available for pet care before work, after work, and during my lunch break. Depending on the day and my workload, I may also have additional flexibility to accommodate specific care needs. On weekends, I typically have more availability and can provide extra time and attention for walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, and companionship. I am careful not to overbook myself because I believe every pet deserves quality care and attention. When I accept a booking, you can trust that I have the time and availability to provide dependable, attentive care and ensure your pet remains safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

At this time, I’m unable to offer boarding services in my home due to my own pets. However, I am happy to provide a variety of other services, including drop-in visits, dog walking, overnight stays, and personalized in-home pet care. My goal is to ensure your pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment while receiving the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. Whether your pet needs playtime, feeding, medication administration, exercise, or simply a reassuring presence while you’re away, I am committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to their needs.

Information artiss m. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I like to make sure I understand their routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide the best possible care. It’s helpful to know their daily feeding schedule, portion sizes, and any dietary restrictions or allergies. I also ask about their walking habits, leash behavior, and how they do around other dogs, people, or common distractions. I like to understand your pet’s temperament as well—what comforts them, what makes them anxious, and any triggers to be aware of (like loud noises, separation anxiety, or certain environments). Please also let me know their favorite toys, games, and any commands they already know so I can keep things consistent. If your pet takes any medications or requires special care (like grooming needs, skin sensitivities, or medical conditions), I’ll need clear instructions on how and when to administer everything. It’s also helpful to know house rules, such as where they are allowed to go, crate routines if applicable, and their sleep arrangements. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, understood, and as comfortable as possible while keeping you updated and at ease while you’re away.

A typical day

I keep pets active, comfortable, and engaged through a balance of structured walks, playtime, and enrichment activities. I enjoy going on long walks and being outdoors, and I like incorporating safe, consistent exercise into each pet’s routine. Along with physical activity, I also focus on mental stimulation through toys, games, and positive reinforcement of basic commands when appropriate. My goal is to maintain their normal routine while making sure they feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away.

Dogs, Cats & Exotic Pet Care

Pet care experience

Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and breeds, from a beloved Cocker Spaniel to two Giant Schnauzers and later a Pit Bull. Each one helped shape my love and understanding of animals and taught me how unique every pet’s personality can be. Today, I’m the proud owner of a French Bulldog who keeps me on my toes and a pet snake, giving me experience caring for both traditional and exotic pets. I’ve also spent time around cats through friends and family and am comfortable caring for feline companions as well. While attending Ball State University, I volunteered at local animal shelters, helping care for animals and supporting their daily needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or senior, I understand the importance of providing patience, attention, and loving care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

Artiss has cared for my dog several times, and I trust her completely. She always follows every instruction carefully while taking the time to understand my dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. It’s obvious she genuinely loves animals, and that shows in the way she cares for her. She’s dependable, flexible, and always goes the extra mile to make sure my dog is safe, happy, and comfortable. Knowing she’s with someone who treats her like her own gives me complete peace of mind. If you want someone who will treat your dog like family, Artiss is the perfect choice.

Artiss has home sat for me and my dog and cats countless times, and she has always been reliable, trustworthy, and caring. She follows instructions carefully, respects each pet’s routine and boundaries, and makes sure they are comfortable and well taken care of while I’m away. She is also just an overall great person—active, responsible, and always going above and beyond. She sends me pictures and updates while I’m away, which gives me so much peace of mind. My pets absolutely love her, and I always come home to happy, relaxed animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and loving pet sitter!

Hello, Artiss has been an amazing pet sitter for my three dogs, and I truly can’t recommend her enough. Whether it’s caring for one pet or managing all three at once, no job has ever been too big or too small for her. She handles everything with confidence, patience, and genuine care, making sure each of my dogs gets the attention they need. She follows instructions closely, keeps me updated, and always goes the extra mile to make sure my dogs are comfortable and happy. Even with multiple pets, she stays calm, attentive, and reliable. I always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in her care. Artiss is dependable, trustworthy, and clearly passionate about animals. She treats every sitting job with the same level of care and dedication, and that means everything as a pet owner.

Artiss is an exceptional pet sitter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has cared for my dog multiple times and has always gone above and beyond to make sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Her genuine love for animals is evident in everything she does, and she treats every pet as if they were her own. What sets Artiss apart is how thoughtful and attentive she is. She pays close attention to each pet’s individual needs, provides regular updates, and gives owners complete peace of mind while they’re away. I always know my dog is in great hands when he is with her. I trust Artiss completely and would feel confident leaving any of my pets in her care. If you’re looking for someone who is responsible, compassionate, reliable, and truly dedicated to animals, Artiss is the perfect choice.
