About: Hi there! I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them brings me so much joy. I grew up in a lively home with four dogs of all sizes—from a tiny chihuahua to a big labrador/German shepherd mix! I’ve also cared for six cats (including newborn kittens), and have experience with smaller pets like rabbits, hamsters, and mice. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve helped friends and neighbors with dog walking and pet sitting for years, and I’ve volunteered at local animal shelters. I’m attentive, responsible, and always make sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I bring lots of positive energy, patience, and genuine care to every pet I meet! I’m currently a part-time student, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. I love using my free time to care for animals—it’s something that brings me genuine happiness. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I’m excited to support pet parents in my community by being a reliable, attentive, and compassionate helping hand whenever they need it! Since moving to Chicago, I haven’t been able to have dogs of my own due to my apartment rules—but growing up, pet care was part of my everyday routine. I regularly cared for our family’s dogs and cats, and I still help out friends and neighbors by walking, feeding, and playing with their pets when they need a hand. Currently, I have a sweet Bombay cat named Chalupa who’s been with me for about three years. I feed her wet food every morning, and she has an automatic feeder that gives her small portions of dry food throughout the day. I make sure she stays mentally and physically stimulated with toys, enrichment, and lots of cuddle time. Whether I’m in my own home or a client’s, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, well-fed, engaged, and loved—just like I would with my own!

“Liz was so great with our boys! She provided us with detailed updates from her visits and sent us lots of photos! I would highly recommend Liz for all your pet sitting needs!”



“Being a bit nervous about leaving my cats, I appreciated how quickly Yesenia responded and reassured me on how things were going. The kitties began to warm up to her which is good for next time I need a sitter. Thank you, Yesenia!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I had the joy of having a Pomeranian as my first furry companion, and over the years, I’ve fostered many dogs, each with their own unique personality and charm. Most recently, I cared for my senior dog, who was the sweetest and most loving soul. Losing him was heartbreaking, but it deepened my understanding of the unconditional love and care dogs especially for seniors bring to our lives. As life got busier, I realized how challenging it can be for dog moms and dads to balance work and giving their pups the attention they deserve. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to help! With my dog care services, I aim to provide love, care, and attention to your fur babies while you’re away.
