“Crystal was great! She was so good with our dogs - got right down on the floor when she met them and they loved her. She had great communication and we will definitely use her again!”


“Brian was fantastic! He stopped by each day to feed and play with our cat Piper and kept us updated with pictures and comments on how she was doing. It’s clear he genuinely loves and cares about pets and is highly recommended for any pet-sitting needs!”


“Ola was a wonderful cat sitter, especially for my older cat who requires special attention and insulin injections. She handled everything with great care and confidence. I truly appreciated her reliability and how comfortable she made me feel knowing my cats were in good hands. Highly recommend! :)”


“This is our second time having Adriana take care of Caius and she has been so great. She always sends us pictures of him which makes us feel comfortable while we’re away. Caius is usually pretty reactive and needs some time warming up to people and it seems as though he really has with her. It speaks to how great she is with animals. Thanks Adriana! ❤️”


“Odalys went above and beyond with my five cats while I was on vacation. She updated me at every visit as to how they were all doing. My cats enjoyed her company. She followed all of my instructions. I would definitely have her take care of my cats again when I go on my next vacation...without hesitation!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. My very first pet was a cat, her name was Smoky when I was seven years old. At 11, I got my first puppy, a poodle, and by age 12, I had two more cats, Simba and Tigger. When I was 15, I got my second dog, a border collie named Darcy, who stayed by my side until she passed at 15 years old, she grew up with me and my kids. Even as a child, my parents made sure I was fully responsible for my pets, which taught me how to care for them properly, from grooming to training to making sure they were healthy, exercised, and loved. In 2016, I started offering pet care professionally. Since then, I’ve done part-time dog walking, in-home pet sitting, and boarding dogs in my home while their families are on vacation. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all kinds and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ll treat your pets like my own, with care, respect, and lots of love. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to care for pets throughout the day. I follow a consistent routine every morning, and I truly believe pets thrive on structure and stability, too. I’m flexible when needed, but I love having a daily rhythm, and that helps pets feel safe, calm, and cared for. In My Home Dogs: Your dog will enjoy a safe, welcoming environment with a fenced yard and one friendly resident dogs for company. I take dogs on morning and evening walks and also bring them to dog parks using my Forest Preserve dog park license when appropriate. I follow consistent feeding schedules and provide plenty of playtime, affection, and structure. Cats: While cats may be more independent, I make sure they have their own space, access to fresh water, food, and a clean litter box. I respect their need for quiet and let them come to me on their own terms, but when they want cuddles or play, I’m always ready. In Your Home Dogs: I make sure your dog feels secure in their familiar space by keeping their routine consistent. I’ll follow your feeding schedule, take them for walks, provide any grooming needs you request, and spend time giving them affection and attention, whether that’s playtime or just relaxing nearby. Cats: I understand that cats often do best in their own environment. I’ll make sure litter boxes are kept clean, food and water are refreshed, and any medications or care instructions are followed closely. I’ll also spend time with them so they don’t feel lonely, whether that means playing with their favorite toy or simply sitting nearby to provide quiet companionship.
