“Ania was absolutely fabulous with my boy! Took him for a nice long walk. I could tell when I picked him up that he had really bonded with her.”

“Timothy is our puppy’s favorite sitter (and ours too!). It’s clear he really understands and empathizes with dogs of all ages and sizes. We’ve had multiple stays at Timothy’s place, and every time our dog comes home happy, well-cared for and occasionally having made new dog friends! We especially appreciate the way he handles our rambunctious labrador puppy- calm, kind, and confident. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in good hands. We’re grateful to have found him, highly recommend!”

“Jiayi was amazing! Her communication and care exceeded my expectations and she was willing to accept my little one for day care last minute! My pup loved her and she was so good with his potty/feed schedule as well. Definitely booking with her again in the future.”

“Katrina is AMAZING! We are so lucky we found her. She took such good care of Calvin—probably better than his own humans! :) Calvin takes a little bit to warm up to people but after his first day with Katrina, he already gets exited when he hears her name. She takes her job very seriously and I feel confident he is in good hands. Definitely recommend!”

“Amy provided exceptional care for Maeve during her time at daycare. Maeve had an amazing time playing with her new friend Frank, and Amy treated her with the same warmth and attention as if she were her own. I highly recommend Amy and look forward to booking with her again!”

“Anni is so amazing!! She watches our puppy when my boyfriend is traveling and I have to be in office and she sends so many updates and our puppy Sally loves seeing her every time.”

Cadence P.

“Disha was incredibly attentive and caring with Bear. She kept me in the loop with regular updates and made sure I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in great hands. Bear truly enjoyed his time with her, and it was clear he felt safe, happy, and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Disha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving for their pet.”

“Ashley and her daughter Marina are incredibly conscientious and caring. Every time I bring my dog to their place, he is excited to run up the stairs and be reunited with his extended family. He truly loves them, and I can see how much they love him as well. 10/10, would recommend Ashley’s services to anyone!”

“Luxi was so sweet to our dachshund, Wally! He was very nervous and quiet and she reassured us he was in good hands. She was great to coordinate with as we needed some care for our dog while we were visiting Chicago.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, growing up in a home with several dogs and gaining hands-on experience caring for them from a young age. Over the years, I’ve become very comfortable with all aspects of pet care, including administering daily medications and following specific routines to keep pets healthy and stress-free. I’m especially attentive to each animal’s unique needs my own pup, for example, has sensitivities, so I understand how important it is to monitor diet, behavior, and environment closely. In addition to dogs, I also have experience with a variety of animals, as my mom rehabilitated exotic wildlife while I was growing up. That background taught me patience, adaptability, and how to properly care for animals that require extra attention. What sets me apart is how much I prioritize each pet’s health and quality of life. I personally walk my own dog four times a day and bring that same level of care, attention, and routine to every dog I work with. I pride myself on being reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely loving toward every pet I care for, and I specialize in working with puppies. I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive to your dog throughout the day. This setup is ideal for pets who need consistent companionship, frequent potty breaks, or a little extra reassurance while you’re away. Whether your dog thrives on attention, has separation anxiety, or simply enjoys having someone nearby, I’m able to provide a calm, supervised environment with plenty of interaction and care. I live in a secure apartment on the third floor with easy ground-level access for quick and convenient potty breaks. My building also offers a dedicated outdoor dog area on the 17th floor, providing a safe and clean space for additional exercise and fresh air. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort in my home, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have for your pet’s care. To keep you fully at ease, I provide daily, detailed updates with photos so you always know how your dog is doing.

About: What sets me aside from other sitters is the love i have for animals. Since i was a little girl I've always loved being around animals they were and still are very therapeutic to me. I've had big dogs from Pitbull's, Dobermann, American bullies, all the way down to tiny dogs; yorkies, shitzu etc. even different kinds of cats you name it. As I've gotten older I've gained sooo much experience to the point I've had at home births with my dogs and cats all by myself; even home training my own animals as well. My goal here is to gain a work related reputation where i can truly start doing what i love and make a name for myself until i can become that super Veterinarian I've always dreamed of being. So far all i have is personal experience with dealing with animals at home and at my job(My residents animals). This would truly mean a lot if i can show off my skills and how genuine i am with animals and even people. Pet Care currently fits for me during the week days. I work doubles every Saturday and Sunday; whereas for school i do online Vet courses which is self pace. Which means i am free during the week Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm if communicated at least at least 30min-1hr in advanced i could stay later if needed. Although, I am a mother which means i can not do any services past 7pm nor any over night services. I also am located downtown Chicago but I am willing to travel!! One thing about me i will spoil your baby(s) haha; I am very hands on and affectionate with animals unless they require space lol. I have never been a crate animal person BUT i know every household is different and every animal requires different training. Again, animals bring a lot of joy to my heart; very therapeutic for me and if given the chance you wouldn't be disappointed i promise!.

“Love booking Jaclyn to watch Lincoln. She’s great at providing updates throughout the day!”

“We have used Trey as our dog sitter two times now and we must say that we are very satisfied with his services. He send photos and detailed reports on our dogs. We are so happy that we found Trey and are definitely asking him to take our dogs again.”

“Gabriel was an excellent dog sitter for Walnut. He was attentive, patient, and very professional throughout the entire experience. He communicated clearly, provided updates, and always confirmed details, which gave me great peace of mind. Walnut seemed very happy and comfortable with him, and it was clear he genuinely enjoyed spending time with Gabriel. I truly felt that Walnut was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Gabriel and would love for him to continue sitting for us in the future.”

“Muindi has a calming energy and a genuine love of dogs. He asked clarifying questions before drop off which helped put me at ease that he wanted to take great care of our Kiwi. He took her on a really long walk and sent several pictures during the day. She came home tired and happy. Highly recommend!”

About: ​With a love of animals and a dog of my own, I understand that your furry friend is family. I’m an active person who believes a tired dog is a happy dog, so I love taking frequent, long walks to keep pups healthy and stimulated. ​Whether it's a quick potty break or a holiday boarding stay, I provide a safe, loving environment where your pet will be treated just like one of my own. I have a hybrid work schedule and am able to provide lunch walks. I can also do morning and evening walks as I'm used to frequent walking with my own dog. My building has a long dog run ideal for playing fetch. I also walk my dog 3 to 5 miles daily and can do the same with yours!

“Steven is a great dog sitter! Our dog Moose gets excited every time he gets to hang out with them. Steven is very communicative and easy to work with, would highly recommend!”
