House Sitting New City

“Jayden was absolutely phenomenal! Our dog Calypso is very skittish with new people, and in the past, sitters have struggled to get her outside for potty breaks because she was too scared. Jayden was able to take Callie out a mere four hours after we left. Callie warmed up to them very quickly and snuggled a bunch, which is no small feat on Jayden's part. Jayden was very communicative and sent multiple updates a day, including photos and videos. They were quick to respond to messages, and they left our home spotless. I would love to book with them again for future trips!”

“Ava was wonderful with our 3 pups. She knew how to manage their chaos and treated them so sweetly. She left the place looking great and really just went above and beyond. We will definitely be using her services again.”

“Nicole is so sweet and communicative! She was quick to respond from the first message I sent her inquiring about her availability. She took good care of our pups and would be happy to have her watch our girls again!”

“Elizabeth was so great! We were able to meet before the house sitting and went over the specifics of my dog. She gave me daily updates and let me know he was doing well which I really appreciated!! I would definitely book again ?”

On Sundays, I’m free after 3:00 PM. Whether you need early morning walks, mid-day drop-ins, or evening snuggles, I’ve got you covered! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine consistent so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully, and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I respect the home, clean up after the pets, and always keep you updated with messages and photos so you have peace of mind. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I make sure they have a clean, cozy space to relax and feel at home. I provide regular walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions. I also pay close attention to how they’re adjusting to a new environment and take extra care to make them feel calm, loved, and secure. Whether your pet is high-energy or low-key, I adjust to their needs and treat them like family.

“We moved to Chicago just a few weeks before a two week trip to Australia, so needless to say we were a bit worried about leaving our cat. I got in touch with Nicole before we even moved and she was great right from the start. Throughout our trip, she sent pictures at least twice a day and was very communicative. She asked if her boyfriend could stay with her and since we were gone for two weeks, we agreed to that. They stayed at our apartment for two weeks and treated both our cat and our apartment with care. You could barely tell anyone had stayed there when we got back. I also left them a novel of instructions and they followed it all (although I could've been more clear on how many treats he should get, he got spoiled!). As soon as she got to our house at the start of our booking, our anxieties about leaving our cat were gone. Can't recommend booking Nicole enough.”

“Tatyanna, took such good care of our girls! She had great communication with us throughout our entire stay and really went above and beyond to make the pups comfortable and well looked after.”

“Fiona was an all around excellent pet sitter. From the initial consult to the key return she was communicative and professional. She took such good care of my girls and my home, and sent plenty of updates and pictures! She truly went above and beyond for me and my pets and handled every hiccup (on my end) with tact and kindness. I will be booking her everytime I need a sitter! :)”

Amanda S.

“Second time using Allison, she takes great care of our two cats, left our home pristine, and even watered our plants! Allison is great with the guys!”

Holly H.

“Nadine was great with my cats! Super communicative and sent lots of pictures. Everything was clean and kept up with. Will definitely book with her next time I need a sitter!”

Natalie M.

“Mairead is an amazing sitter. She took such great care of my dog who had just gotten diagnosed with cancer. Another sitter cancelled on me with 18 hours’ notice. I reached out to Mairead and she swooped in like Superman. I couldn’t be more grateful. She was diligent and communicative. Look no further than Mairead for all your sitting needs.”

Agnes R.

“Xena loved her time with Andres. I was regularly updated with pictures and always felt like Xena was well cared for. I came home to a happy pup all thanks to Andres. Highly recommend.”

“Jasmine did an amazing job house sitting with our pup. She clearly communicated the whole week and left the house spotless. Our dog was well taken care of and very relaxed when we returned. She sent updates and was a pleasure to work with. We would love to rebook Jasmine our next trip and highly recommend her!”

Amber G.

“Mia was incredible with my cat Stormie! We were able to quickly schedule a meet and greet for her to meet Stormie and I could already tell she genuinely cared. She asked questions about feeding, whether Stormie likes to sleep in the bed, daily routine, and took notes when I explained some food changes due to Stormie's sensitive stomach. It is VERY clear she does truly love and care for animals. We had Mia watch Stormie for the weekend and came back to the apartment being clean, litterboxes were empty and freshly cleaned, etc. Mia sent regular updates as well with photos and videos of Stormie so I knew that everything was going smoothly. She also sent messages regularly about how they were playing with toys, how Stormie was doing, etc. I 100% will book with Mia again as I truly never felt more comfortable with someone watching my baby before now.”

About: My family has had dogs for many years. We raised our first dog Kendra, adopting her when she was a puppy, and currently have Brie, whom we brought home when she was six years old. I have also cared for the pets of friends and family. I understand that every dog has unique needs and routines. Whether it is a walk, feeding, or providing full-day care, I make sure each and every pet gets the care they deserve while following any schedule or special instructions the owner may have. My goal is to ensure that every dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I have an open and very flexible summer and am available most days of the week, including weekends, being able to provide care mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I will provide a calm, comforting environment where your dog is always supervised and treated with care. I carefully follow the owner's instructions to ensure a safe and clean space.

About: Hello i'm Janelle C.(she/her)! A dog walker and pet sitter with 5 years of professional experience at Fur Real K9's as well as with my own clients here in Chicago. I also have a life time of experience loving and caring for animals, including my own two adorable black cats Elizabeth and Momo. In my childhood I took care of all the cats, dogs and horses on our family farm back in Missouri. In my 5 years as a pet sitter i've taken care of everything from geckos to guinea pigs. In that time I took classes in pet CPR and behavior management, particularly for large dogs. I know I can give your pet the love, care and attention they deserve. I hope you trust me to be your next pet sitter! I'm free on weekends (Friday night, Saturday and Sunday) for pet sitting and walking as well as over nights. I have time on Wednesdays for walks and home visits. I consider myself to be an attentive, patient and caring pet parent and I look after my clients pet's just as I would my own. I've worked with all sorts of animals, I've broken up ugly dog fights, changed diapers and sat with pups through seizures

“Such a sweet and amazing sitter! Super communicative, caring, and made me feel completely at ease the whole time. My dogs were so happy and well taken care of. Would absolutely book again!”

About: I have always owned a variety of pets and enjoy their company. I also enjoy long walks on trails in my free time, I would say it's one of my hobbies apart from exploring the city. I have always been very fond of animals and hope to work with them someday. For now i would be happy doing any sort of work that involves animals. I'm currently available to work as either a sitter or walker and am hoping to try it out soon. I actually have a very flexible schedule! Please just message me and I will respond promptly. Thank you for reading, have a great day today! I have experience petsitting at other peoples homes so no need to worry about me! If housed at my home I have a cat running around so no cat biters!

“Samantha was great watching our home, dog, and cat. She was super easy to communicate with, provided really helpful and timely updates, and was really well liked by our pets.”

“Annie watched our French Bulldog, Fiona, for 7 days. It was also a holiday weekend which is a big deal. She did a great job with Fiona! She would send pictures and Fiona looked like she was in her element at home. I felt so comfortable with Annie taking care of Fiona that I didn't feel the need to check in constantly (which is a big thing for me). She also left the apartment just as clean as we had left it! She was great!”
