Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In New City

“Patricia is honestly the best. Very attentive and thoughtful. She even offered to shovel snow and salt our steps to ensure safety during the Chicago winter storm. I will definitely be working with her again. Nala and Jumelle were so well taken care of.”

“Daphne was amazing with our fur babies and gave them all the love while we were gone. She was as punctual, professional and caring. She was as excellent with communication and follow up. We will use her service again knowing the dogs are taken care of.”

About: I’ve spent most of my life around dogs, and I am the go-to person in my family when it comes to babysitting (mostly Chihuahuas). While I currently do not have any dogs, I do have 3 cats, so I am used to a range of temperaments. Most dogs tend to stay calm near me, and I am willing to work with all temperaments. No dogs is too much trouble! I am available to walk your dog every Saturday and Sunday morning and afternoon. I am also available evenings with sufficient notice given up until 10 pm. I provide attentive supervision, maintain clean, pet-safe spaces, follow routines carefully, ensure secure environments, and prioritize trust, comfort, exercise, and loving, responsible care always.

“Just wanted to thank you again for watching rocky and tiger. Leaving them can make us nervous so we appreciate your care of them, it made us feel at ease knowing they were happy 🙂”

“Jessica was super great and took the time to make sure my shy kitty was comfortable! She is thoughtful and patient. Would book her again in a heartbeat!”

“Katherine was a great sitter for Oreo when I was out of the state for a couple weeks! She followed my printed instructions to a T, and also managed to befriend my shy cat at the same time. Katherine responded almost immediately whenever I had any concerns, and even dealt with a hairball situation while I was gone.”

“Lucy loves when Beatrice visits! She’s super easy to communicate with and always follows any requests we may have. We’ll continue to use her services!”

About: I’m a professional pet sitter with over 2 years of experience caring for cats and dogs. I grew up surrounded by animals, which helped me develop a natural understanding of their needs and personalities. Animals tend to gravitate toward me, and I take pride in creating a calm, loving, and safe environment for every pet in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet like my own. I focus on maintaining routines, providing enrichment, and ensuring your pet feels secure and well cared for while you’re away. I'm currently working part time and am available every morning and evening to care for pets. On Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays I am available anytime before 12pm and anytime after 5pm. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays I have open availability. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I provide fresh food and water, walks or playtime as needed, litter box or potty care, and lots of attention and affection. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and comfort level so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Wendy is wonderful and I will not hesitate to hire her again. Her cat photography skills are top-notch, and it’s clear she truly loves animals. She’s very professional and kind. Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve spent the last 11 years caring for my elderly Chow Chow, and during that time I’ve also watched lots of other dogs, including two golden retrievers. I’m experienced with everything from playful pups to seniors who need gentler care. I also volunteer at local shelters walking dogs big and small, which has taught me how to build trust quickly and handle every kind of temperament. I’m calm, patient, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and full of treats. 😘 I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on all weekdays and some weekends, just ask! When I’m caring for a dog in their home, my goal is to make sure they feel completely safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible with the same feeding times, walks, and favorite spots. I’ll make sure that everything feels familiar and stress-free. I’ve spent over a decade caring for my senior Chow Chow, so I’m especially patient and gentle with older dogs or those who need a little extra attention. I’ve also watched younger, energetic pups like golden retrievers and volunteer regularly at shelters, so I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I always make sure pets get the right mix of exercise, play, and calm time. I send photo updates and messages regularly so you can relax knowing they’re happy and in good hands. Your home will be left just as you found it — clean, secure, and filled with tail wags.

About: This year, I lost my two rescue dogs within a few months of one another. They came into my life when I was a college kid and left when I entered my first year as a parent. I love my family and friends' furry friends, and life is not the same without them. A dog is not just an animal, but a family member and confidant. From walks, feedings, boarding, and endless cuddles, I can provide any service during lunchtime and weekends as needed. I personally do not enjoy spending my days indoors, so you can expect me to be running along the lake or at the park with my toddler. I work from home, so I can certainly care for animals while working. My son is in school on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and I am flexible during my lunch schedule to care for your pup(s). On weekends, I can help with any requests you may have for your special friends. I have a fenced-in yard and a patio deck. I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood with plenty of parks to visit. I can travel to walk your dog for as long as needed, depending on the area.

“Molly has taken excellent care of our 3 kitties while we were out of town twice so far. She is very attentive and trustworthy. She plays with them, makes sure they are well fed, scoops the litter and sends lots of pics so we can see how happy they are. We highly recommend Molly!”

“Tamara has been a wonderful support to our family. She’s a quick learner, is patient and communicates well. Our team pups enjoy her and always look forward to their walks with her.”

About: I grew up taking care and even sitting some of my mom's friends dogs. In my teens I would take care and sit a few family members dogs. I then volunteered at a puppy adoption center in Mexico.

I will ensure that your pets get the care they need and the exercise they need. I will also pay attention to any requests your pets may need.

About: I am an experienced cat and dog sitter, either alone or multi-pet household! Having lived with 4 cats and 1 dog growing up and then with raising one cat on my own, I am very familiar with the unique dynamics of a feline + dog, solo dog, or solo feline home (different diets, oral hygiene, cleaning mult. litter boxes, administering oral meds, varying play times). Rest assured, I will take the time to know your pet to ensure they feel safe and loved while you are away <3 Currently, looking for a full time job, so I have plenty of time to play and care for your furbaby! Available anytime and day of the week. I prefer to visit the hooman's home to meet the furbaby and start establishing a relationship. I am very detail orientated and want to know as much about your typical routine, so they don't get as stressed. Some of those details include if they are food and or toy driven, knowing any silly quirks they may have, and grooming (oral hygiene, grooming, etc.) routines!

“Nikki is sweet, responsible, and exudes positive energy. My cats instantly gravitated to her, and I'm grateful for her flexibility and responsiveness. If you're looking for a local pet-sitter specializing in cats—look no further!”

Clayton L.

“Kexin was incredible! I was very nervous about leaving my kitty home for the first time, but Kexin sent me so many photos it was like I never left! I came back to a very happy and well taken care of cat all because of Kexin. 100/10 amazing cat sitter!”

About: Welcome to my care profile! Thanks so much for your consideration. My name is Jasmine 🌻 I am a plantbased artist from Chicago whose main focus is about reconnecting and interweaving ourselves with nature to cultivate vitality and a cohesive social eco environment in which every being thrives in harmony. I am an enthusiastic world traveler, animal and nature lover committed to sharing joy and my authentic glow everywhere I go. As a seasoned holistic wellness consultant, caregiver, empowerment content creator, and community herbalist I work from home and close to the earth because I love to be outside and nurturing all living creatures. My main personal values center integrity with my inner wisdom, and connecting deeply with all that there is in my environment by sharing love & compassion to every being I encounter. I believe that everyone’s presence is a gift so I take the time to be in gratitude with all living beings I encounter moment by moment. When I was younger I always had a big heart and would care deeply for everyone and everything. I grew up with a guiñea pig, a fish, making friends with trees and babysitting my younger siblings and neighborhood children. I often visited my grandmama’s house to help her play with and care for her German Shepard. As a teenager I attended a rural farming school in Vermont and volunteered on many farms near Boston where I learned how to grow produce and raise livestock namely, cows, ducks, chickens, turkeys, and goats. While In Claremont California, I obtained my BA in Environmental Analysis Africana Studies and a Minor in Studio Art, studying the intrinsic interdependence and the ultimate beauty and creative web connections that support and maintain life. Additionally, I often took care of many of my friends' dogs (chihuahua and other medium mix breeds) while away on extended trips, namely playing with pets, walks, bathing, and poop time. In my 20’s I have had various house sitting opportunities to collect packages and tend for pets, cats, fish and gardens. Currently as a full time dog walker, herbalist and land steward, I feed the local wildlife, tend to an abundant native species garden and perform other domestic duties to maintain the beauty of the home. I believe that we are one with nature so connecting with nature is how we connect with ourselves.
