“Vivian was amazing! Communicating with her was seamless and she took awesome care of my girl Maya. I loved getting pics and videos of Maya playing with her adorable pup Dior. I would def recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. Thanks for being such a great sitter.”

“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!”

About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including multi-pet households. I have taken care of five cats and three dogs, including a 6-month-old Australian Shepherd puppy that I personally potty trained and bathed several time, and a female French Bulldog during her heat cycle, where I managed special care and hygiene. I am comfortable with puppies, energetic dogs, and pets that require extra attention and patience. I live in a clean, safe, and pet-friendly home, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and walks. I can follow feeding schedules, administer basic care, clean litter boxes, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule which can fits to most pets's schedule. Usually I take dog out for walk at least twice a day, one in the morning around 8-9:30am and one in the evening after dinner (around 7-8pm）. I will also take them out when I am out shopping or just hanging out along the beach. My apartment has a dog park where many dogs will be playing there. It is also very close to Lake Michigan (oak street beach) which is open to dogs as well. I always follow each owner’s instructions and routines to make sure pets feel comfortable and safe. Every pet is different, so I adjust feeding schedules, walk routines, sleeping arrangements, and activity levels based on what the owner prefers. In my home, pets are usually allowed to move freely and stay where they feel comfortable. The dogs I have cared for before were free to move around the home and were not kept in crates unless requested by the owner. If your pet needs a crate or any special equipment, you are welcome to bring it so your pet can stay on their normal routine. I keep a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment and make sure pets are always supervised, especially with new environments or multiple pets. My goal is to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and at home while you are away.

“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!”

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.

“Our dogs really seemed to enjoy their time with Trey. It was just a couple of hours but it was so nice to know they were in good hands. He sent photo updates and I swear they were smiling the photos. We dropped them off with their bed and treats so they would feel comfy and he was so welcoming. We so appreciate that they were in good hands while we enjoyed our day.”

“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: 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!.

“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Luna! It’s clear they had an amazing time playing and socializing, and I love seeing how happy and tired they are after a day with you. I truly appreciate the care and attention you give to her and it’s such a relief knowing Luna is in such a safe, loving, and fun environment. You make a big difference for both of us—thank you for everything you do!”

About: I genuinely treat every dog like my best friend. Full of the upmost love, care, and fun. Your pup isn’t just a pet, they’re family! As a college student with online classes, I love spending my free time with dogs. I have two beautiful huskies of my own back home, so caring for new pups brings me joy every day. I provide personalized care for every pet, whether in my home or yours. I feed, walk, and play with dogs according to their routine, give plenty of love and attention, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable at all times. I also many send updates, photos, and videos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.

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!

“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.”

About: Hi, there! I’m Sandie! I am a late-boomer dog lover. I consider doggies are our children! Teach full time during school year, but flexible in the summer. I groom my own pup, she’s my art. ❤️ to meet your baby. I work from home 1/2 time during school year. My schedule is quite flexible in the summer. I walk my own pup 2-3 times per day. Spend more time with my pup outdoors when weather permits on the weekends. I am in a condo, close to a few parks and 2 gated, off-leash dog parks in the south loop neighborhood. I have a few dog bed/blanket spots for doggies. Dog harness and leash are a must when we are outside. I will only accept one dog in my apartment at a time. Will follow client’s home rules if I dog sit at their place.
