“I cannot recommend Cassi enough! She did drop-in visits for my cats and was absolutely wonderful. I looked forward to her daily updates and photos every single day—it gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. She’s officially our go-to for all future travels! Cassi is a total gem—already looking forward to having her back”
“Stefanie was incredibly responsive to a last minute booking, send meaningful and cute updates on the report card, and my dog immediately took to her. I would recommend her to anybody!”

“Erica was very attentive and went above and beyond to take care of my cat. Most sitters think just because it’s a cat they just need to show up and do nothing so I appreciate when someone actually takes care of my cat and makes sure he’s good. Definitely highly recommend!”

“Kacy was excellent!! My cat is very shy but Kacy was able to spot her and provide proof of life updates haha. She was reliable and communicative and did a great job getting into my surprisingly complicated apartment. Highly recommended and will be booking again!!”

“Alex was a wonderful pet sitter for my cat! My cat is usually very shy with new people, but by the end of Alex’s first visit, she already felt comfortable enough to come out from under the couch, which I took as a great sign 😊 She followed all of my care instructions, was very responsive, and provided updates after each check-in. I felt at ease while away and would love to book with her again!”

About: I am a recent college grad from Indiana University with my degree in animal behavior. I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, and the love I had for them pushed me to pursue a career in caring for animals. I also spent this past summer working at the Lincoln Park Zoo as a behavior and husbandry intern, learning how to be a zookeeper through shadow days. Before that I worked at a science museum in Indiana where I cared for the fish, reptiles, amphibians, and insects that lived there. I am in between jobs at the moment because my internship recently ended, this means I am available to come by any time. I am currently looking for new job opportunities so this is subject to change in the future. I am very respectful of other people's homes, and I will ensure that when your animals are in my care I will do whatever I can to keep them safe, happy, and feeling loved.
“Tara was amazing in taking care of our cat over the holiday and we will definitely book with her again! Our typically shy cat warmed right up to her, and she sent lots of great pictures.”

“Our cat loved Diana!!! Diana was extremely accommodating, and she is very responsible. Diana sent lots of pictures, and we had absolutely no issues with her. We would definitely book her again. Thanks, Diana!”


“Annie was extremely communicative and helpful while she watched my cat while I was traveling. I could tell she took great care of my little guy. Would greatly recommend!”

“I cannot say enough great things about Conner. They were quick to respond from the beginning and made the whole process feel very easy. This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous to leave our 2 kitties for 8 days! Conner sent pictures and updates every day and made us feel so good that they were being well taken care of. Cannot recommend enough!!”

“Madilyn was super communicative and sweet with my cat! Went above and beyond to check on things around my home as well. Will definitely book again!”

“This was Caroline's second time watching Peanut. She was on time, provided detailed pictures and descriptions of her visits, and Peanut seems to love her!”

“Nate has been such a huge help to us while we were out of town. He goes so many updates and photos, is always on time and made sure to spend a ton of time with Charlie on walks, giving pets, etc. highly recommend him!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I grew up with Huskies and was responsible for feeding and walking them. In addition, I helped neighbors when they were away or just needed help taking care of their dogs. As an adult I've had two English Springer Spaniels. Maggie was liver and white and lived for just over 10 years and she was my one with separation anxiety. Josie who was black and white was my old soul from the day we got her home. We lost her a couple years ago at almost 13. My daughter also has a pup with epilepsy and has issues with fear based reactivity - which I am familiar with as well. He struggles sometimes and can be reactive to other animals and overstimulated in certain situations. So, keeping him close, being very aware on walks is important. I am experienced in walking, feeding and giving meds. I am also comfortable with elderly dog care given our Josie ended up living with back and hip issues as well as some vision loss near the end. I've also taken classes and volunteered at Anti-Cruetly here in Chicago and spent time at adoption events. Since I no longer have a dog of my own I decided I would enjoy getting my puppy dog fix loving on other peoples animals in their absence. Please reach out if you need help in the Chicago/River North area. I am currently retired with plenty of time on my hands. I would enjoy meeting you and your puppy or dog and see if we are a good fit. I love animals and know what it's like to want them in the best hands possible when you are busy or traveling. I would like to be that person! I am happy to come to your home and take care of your dog. I will gladly feed, water and administer meds as needed and per instructions. I am also happy to walk, snuggle or just play depending on the need.
“Took such great care of my cats, kept in touch, and my place was spotless when I returned home. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you Jason & Olivia!”

Alexa was great to work with! She came by to meet my cat ahead of time so we both felt comfortable. She provided timely visits, care , and photos to show how my cat was doing and interacting. My pet was very happy when I came home and I can tell she was well taken care of! I appreciate Alexa’s responsiveness, communications and care provided, I would highly recommend to anyone and would definitely use her again!

Jaime was so wonderful taking care of my cat, Tillie, while I was out of town! She sent me cute little pictures and kept the apartment clean even while I had a fruit fly problem before heading out of town. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter!

My cat needs extra lovin’ when I’m gone, but he can be quite a jerk. Rachael is always patient with him and tries to play with him and give him the attention he needs and wants (even if he won’t admit it!). By the end of every trip, Echo is letting her pet and brush him - a big compliment to Rachael !

Stephanie added my 2 dogs to her schedule on short notice, was very attentive, friendly and super flexible. I came home to two happy dogs and it was like I never even left town! I highly recommend to anyone who struggles to leave their 4 legged friend behind, Stephanie will do right by you.

We had such a wonderful experience with Austyn watching our cats! We specifically chose her because she had experience with cats and described herself as a cat person. We really wanted someone who was comfortable with cats and genuinely understood them, and Austyn absolutely lived up to that! She was incredibly reliable, attentive, and thoughtful throughout our time away. We booked 1-hour visits twice a day, and she was always very timely and actually stayed longer than the full hour each time. She followed all of the instructions we left for our cats perfectly and went above and beyond in so many little ways. She even took the time to hand-wash our cats’ dishes rather than simply putting them in the dishwasher, which was more than we had asked her to do. She also took so many great photos during each visit, which we loved seeing while we were away and gave us peace of mind that our cats were happy and doing well. Most importantly, our cats absolutely loved her and warmed up to her right away! They were happily snuggling with her during her visits, which made us so happy to see. Austyn was also very respectful of our home and made us feel completely comfortable and confident leaving our cats in her care. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely cat-loving sitter!
