“Jo is absolutely amazing, 10/10 would recommend!! She took perfect care of my two cats and went above and beyond to make sure all of their needs were met. It was a huge weight off my shoulders knowing that they were in super capable hands while I was away. Definitely planning on re-booking with Jo for future travel!”

About: Hi! My name is Leah, I have had experience with all types of dog sizes and breeds. I myself have grown up with two sweetheart pitbulls, sadly lost both due to different types of cancer and old age :( (12 & 14). I now have a Shihtzu(2), and Yorkie(3) who are apart of my family! I pet sit a golden retriever on occasion when his parents are out of town! I love animals and am soon hoping to welcome a Maine coon to my family. I don’t have much experience with cats other than hanging with my boyfriends black cat, but I love them! I also have minimal experience with turtle sitting. I am an animal lover and am looking forward to caring for and meeting more animals:P I do currently have a 9-5 job, Tuesday-Friday. I am available all day on the days I am off or after work. to walk and look after pets! My doggies are family pets, they are well cared for when I am not there. I do not usually pet sit at my house unless they are well known to me and my family. My doggies usually sleep in my room or my moms room. They do not sleep in a cage. They are free to roam around my house but don’t like being alone so they are almost always with me or my family haha. They are walked 3 times a day.. once before work, once after work and once before bed. They are let out to roam in the back yard, supervised when I am gardening or just out there relaxing. I have a fenced backyard. That is my personal style of caring for my pets. I do understand that everyone has different rules and expectations with their pets & home and I am more than happy to follow every rule and instruction i’m given when it comes to caring for your pets!

About: I have had a passion for animals since I was a child. I have a lot of experienced with cats and dogs. I have taken care of all of the above as well as am a current cat owner. I have experience around a wide range of animals and breeds, including German shepherds. I currently work full-time with the ability to be remote, so my schedule is flexible. I make my own schedule so I can work around the animals' schedules and needs :) I do not provide services at my home at this time; however, I do promise to leave your home clean at all times. I am very considerate and respectful of other people's spaces.

About: I'm life-long dog lover with 20+ years pet care experience. Ever since attending dog shows at McCormick Place as a kid, I have been a true dog lady (I verge on "Best In Show" levels of ridiculous love for every dog I meet). I provide care and affection to dogs and cats of all ages and sizes with a range of different needs. I'm particularly fond of small breed and senior dogs. I have my own Chihuahua-Shih Tzu-Pekingese mix Martin who loves other dogs and cats (I rescued him from One Tail at a Time - poor guy spent 8 months in shelters so he is super comfortable befriending small and large dogs alike). I'd love to go for walks with your animal friend or stay in and cuddle, whatever he or she prefers. My full attention is on your buddy. I'm more than happy to maintain your pet's routines and schedule and to accommodate any special requests - I've administered insulin and oral medication, assuaged separation anxiety, and I've even cared for a tiny Brussels Griffon who ate scrambled eggs every morning. My goal is to make your dog or cat's care as comfortable, seamless, and loving as possible. I can give your pet my full attention at all times! Happy to oblige their needs and give them all of the affection, treats, and specialized care they could possibly need. I keep a watchful eye on pets in my care at all times. I can avoid other dogs on walks if needed. If house-sitting, I'm happy to water plants, check mail, tidy up, turn lights on/off, accept deliveries, and more.

About: I’ve been taking care of my own dog, a senior Shih Tzu/Poodle mix, for the past 15 years. I’ve also dog-sat for family and friends over the past 5 years, giving me experience with small, medium and large sized dogs. My own dog is a bit reactive, so I’m also familiar with caring for reactive dogs and being mindful of their individual needs. I recently started fostering a senior dog as well, which has given me even more hands-on experience caring for older pups. I’m excited to provide your dog with the same patience, care, and attention I give my own! I currently have a pretty flexible schedule so I have great availability for your pup while you work or take care of other responsibilities! I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your dog throughout the day and can be flexible with different routines and care needs. I’m also happy to accommodate last-minute bookings when my schedule allows. I’ll do my best to keep your pup’s usual routine consistent, including walks, meals, potty breaks, play time, and plenty of love and attention while you’re away! I would love to take your pups on walks, enjoy playtime, or spend some outdoor time with them, as I also love being outside and going on walks! I’d also love to get to know your pets and their individual personalities so I can help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’ll make sure to follow your instructions and their usual routines as closely as possible, so they can feel happy and at ease in their own home.

“This was my first time leaving my cats with someone other than my mother, so I was nervous to say the least. After the initial chat and walk through I felt comfortable with Katie. Katie provided detailed updates and tons of cute photos of playtime during the drop in visits. Will certainly have Katie watch them again when I need a sitter.”

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and hands-on caregiver. I raised my own dog from the time I was 15, so I have real experience caring for a dog through every stage of life, from energetic younger years to senior care. I understand the importance of patience, routine, and paying attention to changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve babysat family pets many times and am comfortable with both large and small dogs. I take pet safety and comfort seriously and treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, calm companionship, or extra TLC, I’m attentive, gentle, and dependable. Pet care is now my full-time focus, which means I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to every pet in my care. I'm available throughout the week and on weekends, making it easy to accommodate a variety of schedules, including last-minute requests when possible. I plan ahead to make sure any pets in my care receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I’m reliable about sticking to schedules and instructions so your pet’s day stays as normal and stress-free as possible. When caring for pets overnight, my priority is safety, comfort, and keeping their routine as consistent as possible to your dogs needs. I make sure pets have a calm, secure environment and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any special needs. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and comfort throughout their stay, and I never leave pets unattended for long periods of time. I keep spaces clean, pet-safe, and free of hazards, and I’m careful to respect boundaries, especially for pets who may need time to adjust in a new environment. I provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while their pets are in my care. Whether your pet needs playtime, quiet companionship, or extra reassurance overnight, I treat them with patience, respect, and the same care I would give my own.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals. Their loyalty, companionship, and energy make them so special, and they deserve the same care and kindness in return. I’ve been around animals my whole life and have hands on experience raising and caring for both dogs and cats. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet. I treat them like my own and take the time to understand their personality and needs. I’m very patient and comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who may need a slower and gentler approach. I also have experience with cats and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and comfort level. Whether your dog or cat loves to be active and go on walks or prefers to stay home and relax, I’m happy to match their energy and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also like to keep owners updated with messages and the occasional cute photo so you can feel at ease while you’re away:) I have a 7 year old Boxer who lives with me. She’s very friendly, loves other dogs, and would be happy to have some company. I’m easy to get along with, responsible, and always do my best to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. If there’s anything specific your pet needs, I’ll always try my best to accommodate. I’d love to be a great match for your furry friend! A little bit about me! I live in the Albany Park area and have my own reliable transportation, so I’m dependable and able to get to your pet when needed. I work freelance, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to plan my day around your pet’s routine. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, longer stays, or even last-minute help, I’m able to adjust my availability to make sure your pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need. Whether I’m caring for your pet during walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, their safety and comfort are always my priority. I politely ask that all clients have a fully completed and updated profile with recent photos of their pets, information about their personality, routine, behavior, and any special needs, as well as some information about themselves. This helps me feel more comfortable and confident accepting a booking and gives me a better understanding of you and your pet beforehand. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide as closely as possible, whether that’s feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, or just keeping them company. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and comfortable in their own home while you’re away.

About: We are Mandy and Travis! Literally our first conversation was about our dogs. Our love for our pets runs deep, both of us having grown up with dogs our whole lives. We’ve trained puppies and cared for our beloved 15 year-old, three-legged senior Golden until he passed a year ago. We’re comfortable with all ages and stages in between. While our hearts belong to big fluffy puppers, we’ll love on your sweet baby no matter the size. We have a crate so you don’t need to bring yours unless your dog prefers theirs so they feel safe. Between the two of us, we work from home most days of the week. If I am at the office, I work 5 minutes from home and can easily stop home for potty and play breaks. We have a fenced yard and when the weather is nice, our back door is a magnetic screen so the dogs can let themselves in and out. We live close to Kilbourn Park and often take our fur babies for walks there.

“Mirella took excellent care of our cat, Harvey!! He was very happy when we returned from a 9-day trip. It's so clear she adores pets!! I would recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter.”

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, including a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Pitbull mix, so I’m very comfortable with both large and high-energy breeds. I also have experiences with extended stay puppy sitting where I managed feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and creating a calm, structured environment. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are, especially with puppies. I’m currently preparing to welcome a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very intentional about creating safe, positive experiences for dogs. I work Monday through Friday but my partner is currently home all day, so someone will always be there to care for your dog! We are open to boarding any night. Walks I am primarily available after work or sometimes the morning before. My partner is currently available most anytime! We are both reliable and detail oriented. We are prepping to bring in our very own golden retriever puppy, so will treat your dog as if they are our own! As mentioned above I work Mon-Friday roughy 8-4. My partner is currently home throughout the day so someone will always be there to care for your dog. We are open to boarding almost any day especially weekends where we are both home. Walks and drop ins work best for me before work hours or after but my partner has open availability so between us we can accommodate to you! Feel free to ask if you have any specific availability questions! :) Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and am very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and safety during walks and care. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing a safe and positive experience. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always feel confident and connected while your dog is in my care.

“Justice took great care of my cat Opal. She was quick to learn her medication injection routine and made both Opal and I feel comfortable while I was away. She was very responsive and made sure to send me updates with every drop-in visit!”

About: I love all kinds of dogs, no matter what shape or size! I have 5 years of experience both puppy-sitting and dog-sitting for family and friends, from 10lbs to over 100! I am able to accommodate any special needs your dog has, including medications. I will make sure to recognize any limitations that your dog has. For example, I’ve dog-sat dogs with arthritis and reactive pups as well. In addition, I am willing to adapt according to your pup’s regular schedule. I have a fenced backyard but I am willing and able to do multiple daily walks and enjoy playing with and entertaining them as well. My goal is to make both you and your furry friend happy! I am currently working from home! I have a flexible schedule, so if your dog has time based specific needs I will be able to meet them. *Disclaimer: I am not available to provide constant care. Constant care is a premium service designed for pets that cannot be left alone for medical or non-medical reasons. This includes animals that have accidents overnight or when the sitter leaves for more than 4 hours during the booking dates.* I have no other animals and a fenced backyard. I have one set of front stairs that your dog will need to be able to climb unless they are small enough to carry! I don’t mind dogs on my furniture.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, and even a bunny. I've had pets of all sizes and personalities and know how important it is to have someone you trust when you're away. Whether it's cuddles, playtime, or a relaxing walk, I treat every pet like my own. Let me give your furry friend the care and attention they deserve💜 I work from home most weekdays and have flexibility to pop in and spend some time with your fur babies or stay a few hours and work from your home.

About: Hi! I’m 22 and a college athlete who plays basketball and softball in Boston. We’re currently on break until late January, and I’m looking to pet sit or help out in any way I can. I grew up with dogs and recently lost my own, so spending time with other pups really means a lot to me. I love walks, playtime, and giving dogs lots of attention and cuddles. I’ve also walked dogs for a neighbor and would treat your dog like they’re my own! Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. Since I’m currently on break from school until late January, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention they deserve. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, or overnight care and can adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs I will gladly take care of your pets in your home, or even take them on hikes if need be! I am able to help overnight as well as needed.

“Hannah is so brilliant and dedicated! She taught me a better way to administer subcutaneous fluids and showed great care and dedication when visiting my cats. She really has a way with animals. Thank you Hannah!”

About: 🐾 🐶 I have a Beagle mix, and a German Shepard mix at home. I also grew up with Irish Wolfhounds—big hearts, big fun! 🐕‍🦺 My family has always kept pups in our house. From playful mixes to fancy poodles, I've seen them all! I do also have (2) 🦜 birds, (2) 🐟 fish and (3) 😸 kitties I have raised since they were born. I am more than happy to help out while you’re away! ♥️🐾 I am available at all times Sunday after 7:00 PM CST through Friday before 3:00 PM CST as well as at any time on holidays! I do have a fenced in yard. I take my dogs out for walks. When we do go in the yard, I never let my own dog out without going out with them myself as well to monitor.

About: Hi, I am Anita and I treat every doggy like my if they were my own. I truly enjoy spending time with them and getting to know their little personalities. I’ve been doing Rover for about three years now and I truly love it 🐾. I understand that your pet is part of the family and I treat them as my own. I will make sure they are treated well and more importantly are safe at all times! I have a fenced backyard which all pets love but if they need more activity, I am more than happy to walk them. I’m almost always home with your pet and my schedule is very flexible. I have extra rooms in my house that I like to use if I need to separate the pets while I am out. I also make sure to send a lot of pictures and updates because I understand the importance of this to every owner. Looking forward to meeting you and your dog :) I’m home every day besides running errands so it’s very easy for me to take care of your pets. I enjoy walking and being in my backyard so I spend a lot of time with them outside. During the day, I allow the pets to be roaming around the house and I have a big porch where I keep their food/water/toys and a bed for them to sleep. During the winter, I’m mostly inside with the pets and have a backyard that I can let them out for potty breaks if it’s too cold for a long walk. I spend my time at home, cooking, and watching tv and your pet will keep me company through out my day. I have a fenced yard and my neighborhood is really safe. I like to keep them in separate rooms whenever I leave the house to make sure they don’t fight. Also I have an extra room that I have set up for any pets that I’m taking care off so I can have them in separate rooms if needed and I provide a dog bed and bowls!

About: I’m a very loving and empathetic person. With that, I’m great at reading animals and figuring out what their needs are to live a happy life. I’m currently working part time as a freelance designer so I have plenty of time to play with and care for your pup or cat and am available for boarding on the weekends. In addition to my bedroom, I have a living room and dining room space so lots of area for your pet to roam. I also have a courtyard area for when your pup needs to go potty.
