Pet care experience
I love making connections with people and animals alike! I’ve spent my life practicing the responsible care of cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. I’ve got a soft spot for senior animals, training my kittens, going on long walks with new dog friends and exploring Chicago parks.
Reviews
Zoë communicative and sweet with my pup! Would definitely hire him again!
Zoe was great! Communicative and INSTANTLY got along with our pup and cats. We got some fantastic pictures from the weekend and it felt great knowing our pawed friends were in outstanding hands.
Zoë truly understands animals at an innate level. I've never met someone who was able to create such genuine connections with animals so quickly! I used to feel very anxious leaving my two cats at home alone when I had to travel, but that's no longer an issue. Zoë updates me regularly and spends QUALITY time with my cats. It never seems that he's just checking the boxes of feeding, scooping litter, and playing with Lenny and Dewey-he truly enjoys his time with them and I know that they do too. I used to come home after traveling to two very stressed out kitties who missed my presence desperately. It would take them days to get back to their relaxed, playful selves, but no more! Now they just seem annoyed that I'm home because they miss Zoë! Truly, you could not choose a more trustworthy animal guardian than Zoë. You will feel at ease knowing your beloved pets are in the best hands possible, and your pets will feel excited yet content and relaxed spending time with Zoë. I will never trust another person with Lenny and Dewey again- thank you Zoë!
Zoë has a passion for pets! He is a great pet owner and caretaker. He’s been my go-to cat sitter for years. He is extremely caring and compassionate with animals. He takes time to let them warm up to having a stranger around and build a bond with each individual pet. He’s trustworthy and detail-oriented. I highly recommend him as your next petsitter!

A typical day
A typical day in my pet-sitting routine involves interactive playtime, refreshing walks, and engaging toys to keep pets entertained. I prioritize individualized attention, ensuring each pet feels comfortable and loved. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a stroll, or simply some quality cuddle time, I tailor activities to suit each pet’s preferences. Consistency, care, and positive interaction define my approach to pet sitting. Spending time outdoors is a priority of mine, no matter the weather! I have many favorite parks, beaches, and walking routes around the city and would love to show your puppies (parents’ permitting, of course)!
