Pet Sitting New City

About: I’ve taken care of or have had animals since I was a child. Currently I have a cat named Ida who is very sweet & affectionate. I just graduated with a Master’s of Social Work. Before beginning my career, I’m taking some down time and taking care of animals. This gives me the ability to prioritize your pets needs! My environment is animal friendly. I have a fenced in back yard and live near a park. I have a cat named Ida who is welcoming to new animals inside our home. I allow animals on my bed and furniture.

“Nadine was great! She sent detailed updates and great pictures, and I could tell she took amazing care of my cat while I was away. It was a relief knowing my cat was in such good hands. I would definitely ask Nadine to cat sit again!”

“It was my first time using rover and I was looking for someone who truly understands dogs, and its Tamara! Tamara was a true blessing while I was away in Mexico. My dog isn’t usually quick to trust—he even tried to bite her when they first met—but she was so patient and kind with him. By the end of the week, he was waiting at the door for her, tail wagging, 30 minutes early. I could tell he really bonded with her. I’m so grateful and would absolutely have her watch him again.”

“Me’lia was a godsend, when my original sitter had to cancel last minute. She was communicative and thoughtful, and was super accommodating. And both my cat and my dog loved her. Would recommend and would rebook her again!”

“Jasmine was amazing, especially on short notice. Thorough, communicative, and proactive. My favorite is when she left the light on because she knew it would be dark soon and wanted to provide some comfort. It was everyone you’d want in someone caring for your pup. Will definitely use her again.”

“Yesenia is truly an awesome catsitter. I would recommend her if you want to feel secure that your sitter is taking care of your pets and looking after them. I will be booking with her again!”

About: Hi! 🐾 My name is Ella, and I’m a caring, responsible, and patient person who absolutely loves animals. I’ve always had a soft spot for dogs and enjoy spending time with them, giving them attention, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I’ll treat your dog with the same care and kindness I would want for my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. 🐶💗 I’m excited to meet new furry friends and give them a fun, safe, and loving experience while their families are away! My classes start September 21th, so I have plenty of time to take care of little ones. My schedule is flexible so just send me a message! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. They are medium/big but love all sized dog, both male. I am in the basement so I can easily move my dogs upstairs.

“Great with dogs! Daphne gave our 11yr old and 1yr old so much love and attention during her mid day drop in visits, we are grateful for her service. Wonderful and easy to work with and we will definitely use again.”

“I am so happy that I found Christina to take care of my little Rainbow while I was away! She was very caring and they bonded like love at first sight for our meet and greet. It shows that Christina really loves cats and went out of her way to make sure that mine was comfortable and happy! When I came home, everything was neat and clean and Rainbow was happy and ready to play as if I had never left! I would highly recommend Christina and book her again, thank you so much!”

About: Hi! I’m Emily — a dependable and caring animal lover based in Chicago. I’ve had medium to large dogs my whole life, so I’m very comfortable handling different energy levels, personalities, and needs. I also volunteer at PAWS Chicago, where I spend time caring for and working with dogs of different temperaments. This has given me experience reading dog behavior and helping them feel safe and comfortable in new environments. I currently don’t have a dog of my own at home, which allows me to give my full attention to the pets I’m caring for and be flexible with scheduling. My family dog Bella likes to come for a visit here and there for a few days in a row. She will not be with on our walks or home visits. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I’m happy to adjust to your dog’s routine, energy level, and personality. Whether your dog needs a long walk, playtime, or just some company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m very responsive, detail-oriented, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet like they’re my own and aim to make the experience stress-free for both you and your dog. Feel free to reach out with any questions — I’d love to meet you and your pup! I work in education so during the school year Monday-Friday I am free after about 4pm. I open on the weekends. During June-August I have a free schedule I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment whether I’m in your home or out on walks. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walking, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m experienced with medium to large dogs and comfortable handling different energy levels and personalities. I prioritize safety on walks by using secure leashing and staying aware of surroundings, and I always make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also very communicative and will send regular updates and photos so you feel confident while you’re away.

“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!”

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.

“Jasmine R was awesome. Thorough and punctual. My kitty was happy and my home was just as I left it. I will use her services again.”

About: I’ve had taken of pets since I was in high school. My Neighbors Friends and Family had relied on me to walk and feed their pets. I will Feed, walk, and play with your pet daily. Weekly: bathe, clean their area, check health, and train. Keep them happy and healthy, always! 🐾 Making sure I have all the instructions and information and emergency contact information for every stay also I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: I have lived with dogs all my life and am familiar with their basic needs. Just send a quick bio about your pet that would reveal their specific needs and I’ll be good to go! Also, I have cared for senior pets! As a new Chicago resident, my availability is open and I would be happy to include your furry friends into my daily routine. Stay wild! My home is a clean environment and it does like to keep that way, though it is understandable if your friend has a couple of accidents in the home due to the new environment, but if it persisted beyond 3-5 occurrences, I would not be able to continue care. The pet would likely stay on their bed in a closed bedroom at night.

“Chelsea was great. excellent communication and took very good care of my baby with lots of cuddles. if i’m ever back in chicago, will def book again.”

About: I have previously owned dogs when I was younger (8yrs -17yrs old), my goal is to provide care for your pet and make them feel comfortable. I will do this by walking, play time, and cuddles and meeting any other needs your pet requires :) I am currently a post university graduate, so I have a bit more down time as things have winded down. I am a schedule driven person which leads me to be very attentive and love getting out or hanging indoors with furry friends. I believe in treating your animal in how I treat mines with lots of love. All animals are different and need different levels of support, I want to be able to provide a comfortable environment while they’re away from home.

About: I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages, including several puppies in training. I’m currently the owner of a senior pup with hearing loss who I’m teaching sign language. I also have experience caring for rabbits, hamsters, fish, and plants. I’m a part-time student and part-time worker so I fit pet care easily in between short obligations. The flexibility of pet care is perfect for my atypical schedule. I love meeting new animals and do so with caution and respect. I appreciate the way different critters set boundaries and I create safe, predictable environments so that animals feel comfortable around me.
