Chicago’s Best

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m an avid puppy and dog lover, and am eager to help care for your furry family members however you need. I have a 6 year old Lab back home in Atlanta, and my boyfriend here in Chi has an 8yr old Pitbull who immediately pawed her way into my heart. If you need someone to walk your pups, feed them, play with them, or show them some love while you’re away, I AM YOUR GIRL! Currently, I am residing in Lakeview East, but during the day I am on Michigan Ave at Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. To be noted, I am a shorter person (5 feet 1 inch), so unfortunately very large dogs (pups over 100lbs) are the only size dogs that are typically a bit too much for me to handle on walks. However, if you need me to drop in during the day just to feed or play with them I can do that. If you’re in need of any sort of assistance with your furry companion, please let me know. Looking forward to hearing from you!

10/10 all around! Simone is extremely friendly and my dog loved her. She sent lots of updates, photos and went above and beyond the whole weekend.

I can’t say enough good things about Simone! Not only was she incredibly responsive when I initially reached out to her but she was really excited to look after our little pup, which is all a pet parent wants. She took great care of our dog (a puppy who has a lot of energy), sent us photos constantly and it looked like she had even cleaned our place before she left. I have only the best things to say about her - don’t hesitate to book with her! Your furry loved one will thank you :)

Simone was amazing and gave lots of updates with pictures. She made me feel like my dog was being loved and taken care of the whole time I was away. Definitely recommend!

Simone did a wonderful job pet sitting our two dogs. She got us out of a major bind when our original pet/house sitter cancelled, and she took great care of our home as well. She’s extremely responsive over text message, sends tons of pictures for us more anxious dog parents, and is extremely flexible. We will most certainly book Simone again!
