Mia is reliable, detail oriented, and does great with my cats. I had one that passed away who needed medications and she managed that beautifully. My place is also the same as it was when I left it also. She’s the best!

We were struggling to find a sitter before the holiday weekend. Kelly was quick to reply to our booking requests and we came home to clean litter boxes, no puke (which is a typical welcome gift from the cats when we arrive from long trips), and very happy babies. Thanks so much for taking great care of Meeko & Tobey while we were gone!

Thanks Ryan! We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ryan! From the very beginning, they were professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about animals. They took the time to understand our cat’s routine, quirks, and preferences, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Each visit came with thoughtful updates, photos, and little notes that made us feel connected and reassured. It was clear our cat was not only well cared for, but genuinely enjoyed their company. We came home to a happy, relaxed pet and everything exactly as we left it. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and kind. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets!

Elyse was incredible. Our other sitter canceled on us last minute and she came to the rescue. She provided so many updates and pictures, cleaned up after the cats had some accidents, and provided great communication throughout. Felt so comfortable with her in our home and will be hiring her again without hesitation.

Jennifer was an amazing cat-sitter! I got a detailed report, pictures, and she was so understanding of us trying out Rover for the first time and was the perfect sitter! Our cat was very happy when we came back from our trip, and I would definitely re-book for future sittings/drop-in’s for Misty. Jennifer is considerate, trustworthy, and very easy to coordinate with

About: We would love to spoil your pup! 20+ years of dog care experience, and ready to be your pup’s active walking buddy and favorite staycation. I specialize in daily active adventures around the parks, trails, and forest preserves. I specifically only accept one pup at a time for both boarding or daycare to ensure focused attention and premium care, and come with both senior dog and special needs experience. Your pup will enjoy a safe and loving staycation while you’re away. I work hybrid with flexibility to work from home on all days of my choice… so exercise and attention are never in short supply and I will be home the entire duration of their stay. A little about me: I adopted my dog Jess when she was nine months old, and she’s now a spirited 15-year-old. She’s had everything from allergies to kidney surgery, so I have years of hands-on experience with special needs, senior care, medications, and quirky personalities. If your dog needs extra attention, I’ve got it covered.

About: I'm a social worker taking a break to explore new job opportunities, which gives me plenty of time and energy to care for your pets! I have always loved animals and grew up mainly taking care of dogs. However, now, I have two cats of my own, Theo and Wiley, who I love spoiling :) Whenever my friends need someone to take care of or check in on their pets, I'm always the go-to person to help, treating them like they're my own. Along with daily care, I'm also experienced with giving medications and following specific care instructions/routines. I'm a very detail-oriented and compassionate person, so I will make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I’m available 7 days a week for drop-in visits (for both dogs and cats) and dog walks. I can be flexible to fit whatever schedule works best for you :) I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, so I'll make sure to not only give them lots of love and attention, but will also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages. I'm good at sticking to routines and helping pets feel safe.

About: I'm a loving cat mom to two kittens, with a year of experience cat sitting beyond that. I've had two dogs in the family who I've cared for since I was 9 years old and love spending time with, whether that's going for a lake walk or just hanging out!! Huge animal lover and always love to meet new furry friends!! I'm patient and gentle, and work from home full time with a very flexible schedule. I currently work from home full time so have a very flexible schedule to accommodate you and your pets' needs, whatever that may be! Willing to take time out of my day to ensure your pet gets the care they need, and you are comfortable as a pet owner. I provide care in your home, secure yard, or neighborhood as that’s where your pet is most familiar / comfortable. Please let me know if they have any special needs, if there are other local pets or people they do or do not get along with, etc. I want to give you and your pet the best care possible!

About: I’ve been professionally working with dogs for the past 7 years, with experience in grooming, boarding, and daycare settings. Throughout my career, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and support. I’m also experienced in administering oral medications safely and comfortably when needed. Animal safety and wellbeing are extremely important to me, which is why I renew my Pet First Aid and CPR certification every 2 years. I’m trained to recognize behavioral patterns and body language in both dogs and cats, allowing me to quickly understand when a pet is relaxed, anxious, stressed, or overstimulated—and respond appropriately to help them feel safe and comfortable. Caring for animals has been my passion for as long as I can remember, and I love being able to improve the lives of pets through patience, compassion, and attentive care. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, grooming support, medication, or simply someone trustworthy to care for them like family, I strive to provide a safe and positive experience for every animal I meet. I currently work Mon-Fri as Dog Groomer in the West Loop area, so the time I finish up for the day fluctuates depending on my schedule, and any obstacles we run into at the salon. I am typically out of work by/before 3pm, and am able to give a more specific time as I begin grooming my last dog for the day, so I can plan the rest of the evening accordingly. I am currently available for drop-ins Mon, Wed, and Fri from 3pm-10pm When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that feels consistent and comforting while their owner is away. I have experience with pets of all ages and temperaments, including puppies, senior pets, shy cats, high-energy dogs, and animals that may need extra patience or space to build trust. Whether that means playtime, walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, litter box cleaning, grooming maintenance, or simply providing calm companionship, I always take an individualized approach to each pet. Because of my background in grooming, daycare, and boarding settings, I’m very attentive to body language and behavior changes in both dogs and cats. I can quickly recognize signs of stress, anxiety, overstimulation, or discomfort and respond appropriately to help pets feel secure and relaxed. As someone who is Pet CPR and First Aid certified, safety is always extremely important to me. I also understand the trust involved in caring for both your pets and your home, and I strive to provide dependable, respectful, and compassionate care every visit.

Michele is my go-to sitter when I’m traveling because she’s so reliable, kind, and good with my sweet kitty. She always sends thoughtful updates and lots and lots of pictures, which means so much to me when I’m traveling and missing my cat. I would recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind with their pets when they’re going out of town.
