Going on Vacation? I've got you!

I haven't formally cared for animals, but I've fostered for a pit bull rescue in the past. I can also care for chinchillas because my partner has two that I care for when she is away. I'm a teacher about to be on summer break and will have a flexible schedule to work with you and your needs.

Boarding • Jul 24, 2025

Christian was an awesome sitter for my beloved fur angel. I needed to find a sitter last minute as my usual sitter had a family emergency. Christian was within walking distance of my home. Took Oakley to her second favorite park (which he lives by) in the neighborhood regularly for catch. Sent me updates with photos and was very communicative when needed. I honestly cannot recommend him enough, I swear I think he might have even given her a bath before I picked her up. 10/10 experience, would absolutely recommend.

Chris helped out with taking care of my sweet dog, Liberty, for a few years! She loved him and he was so good with taking care of her and making her feel loved and safe, in addition to feeding her, walking her, and letting her outside. He is really great with dogs and they love him! Even my girl, who usually doesn’t much like men.

Chris has been my friend for 8 years. Over those years he has dog sat for friends and also fostered before. He is incredibly responsible and sweet to animals. He would be great as a pet sitter!

I have known Chris for years and lived with him for several of those. In every instance he has shown love and care to the pets he has had in his life (both his own pets and those of his roommates). I have known Chris to choose the gym he works out in because the owners have a dog that hangs out there. He sends me semi-regular texts about the fun dogs he see when he is walking around Chicago. Chris will not only take good care of your pets, but he will do so excitedly.

Schedule

I'm a teacher with CPS, and I'm about to go on break, but I maintain a consistent routine during summer because I typically always work. I wake up early every morning and can accommodate your schedule!

Safety, trust & environment

We just bought a house with a fenced-in yard. We don't have kids, so our home can be a calm environment should your pet have anxiety needs or doesn't thrive around children. Our only pets right now are two chinchillas that have their own closed-off area. You can rest assured knowing your beloved pets are cared for during any vacation need you have!

I love playing games and taking dogs on long walks to explore the neighborhood. I live near a big park that animals love to explore!

Let me know if your pet has any special needs that I can accommodate. I'm comfortable giving oral medication to your pets if necessary. If there is something in particular you need, I'd be happy to talk with yo about it!
