“My cat can be finicky when we travel and doesn't want to eat properly. Not an issue this trip. Thanks to Jackie. She made it a family affair including her daughter in pet care. This is great in my opinion as it teaches responsibility and proper pet care as well as offers new experiences for the pets she's caring for. My kitty is getting old & lazy, but she responded well to their care and is happy and healthy. Thank you! Will reach out in the future as needed.”
“Michael was great! Our pup has some aggression and resource guarding and I was nervous about using a service. Michael’s calm demeanor put him at ease immediately. We will definitely be asking Michael to check-in and walk our pup again!”
“Nicholas was the best! His care for my feisty cat was amazing. I especially appreciated his updates and good communication about the particulars, and he also attended to details. He went above and beyond and all respects.”
About: I am an experienced, reliable and dependable pet lover. I have grown up my whole life with animals. I recently had to put my senior pitbull down so my house is very quiet now. Pet care is my passion and currently my main source of income and work. I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am interested in walking, daily visits, or overnight boarding anytime of the week. Our home has a large fenced in yard, perfect for your pup to enjoy some fresh air, or bask in the sunshine. I can take your pet on walks or they can run around in the yard. Or we can snuggle up on the couch and get lots of belly rubs.
“Karina has been amazing with our girl Holly! Thankful we can count on her when we need her! Our resent visit was complete last min, family emergency Karina was there for our Holly!! Thank you so much!”
“Nelli is great!! Our dog Arnie gets so excited to see her and she takes great care of him. She’s flexible and helpful when Arnies needs change a bit. For example she was able to get him to wear shoes for a few walks when his feet had blisters. We definitely trust her with caring for Arnie!”
“Elva was great with my dogs! She is professional, reliable, always on time, and truly cares about making sure my babies get the most out of their visit. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands, and they were always happy and well cared for after spending time with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Dan was a much appreciated help with my 2 cats while I was out of the country for 2 weeks! He was attentive and provided great descriptions and photos after each visit. Cannot recommend his services enough, will definitely go to him again next time.”
About: 🐾 About us Certified Dog Trainer (Animal Behavior College – Positive Reinforcement Based Training) I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and what started as helping family and friends turned into a true passion and profession. My wife and I both work from home, which means your dog receives consistent supervision, structure, and plenty of attention throughout the day. 📍 Located 10 minutes from O’Hare — perfect for travelers. 🕒 Drop-Off & Pick-Up Hours Monday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Tuesday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Wednesday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Thursday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Friday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Saturday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Sunday: 12:30 PM – 9:00 PM Please select a specific 30-minute drop-off and pick-up window when booking. I ask that you arrive within that window so we can keep transitions smooth, organized, and stress-free for everyone. If anything changes, just communicate as early as possible — I completely understand that travel plans can shift. 🏡 Our Home & Philosophy We have a fully fenced yard and a dog-friendly home designed with safety in mind. Playtime is always supervised, and dogs only interact if we’re 100% confident they get along. It’s completely okay if your dog prefers people over other dogs — we respect every dog’s personality. Each dog enjoys free roaming, walks, and one-on-one interaction with us — they’re treated like part of the home, not just part of a group. 📋 Requirements Dogs must be crate trained and comfortable resting in a crate when needed. They must also be up to date on all required vaccinations to ensure the health and safety of every dog in our care. These standards help us maintain a calm, structured, and safe environment for everyone. 📸 Updates You’ll receive daily updates with photos so you can relax knowing your best friend is in great hands. 🐾 Our biggest priorities are ❤️ Love, 🛡 Safety, 🤝 Trust, and 🏡 Comfort. Our number one rule: no dog is ever put in a position where they feel they have to defend themselves.
“Best sitter ever! Helped our anxious dogs through a week of our absence and allowed my family and I to enjoy a vacation and family wedding with ease! Thank you SO much, Yazmin!”
“Pamela is fantastic! We really appreciate how kind, consistent, and trustworthy Pamela is with our pet. The pictures that she sends during her visits help us feel at ease and know that everything is ok at home. Thank you!”
About: Hi I’m Patrick! I love dogs and have been around them most of my life, I have three of my own named Bubba, Sassy and Neo who I walk every day. I will be very patient and kind with your pup as if they were my own and make sure they’re having as much fun as I’ll be having! I love all animals including cats but sadly I have family that is allergic so that is a no go but I would definitely consider myself a dog person anyway , no dog is too big or too small for me I’ll love em all the same. Id be ecstatic to add ur dogs to my daily routine:) Questions are welcome of course! My schedule is relatively flexible besides taking care of my own dogs. I am somewhat limited in means of transportation since I ride my bike to get around but that won’t stop me from meeting new dogs! If you do chose me to walk your dog we can discuss what would be best for picking them up for the walk and dropping them back off at your home. If your dog is crate trained I have no problem making sure they go into their crate before I leave.
“Ann is an amazing sitter! She’s cared for my pups on several occasions while I am out of town, each a very positive experience. Very dependable, responsive, and communication was great. I returned home to everything in perfect order and two very happy pups. I would absolutely recommend Ann to friends and continue booking with her in the future.”
About: While I’m beginning my professional pet care journey, I’ve been around animals my entire life — including cats, dogs, turtles, and more — and I’m very comfortable providing loving, compassionate, high-quality care. I’m intuitive, empathetic, detail-oriented, and a strong communicator, which I believe are all important qualities when caring for animals. I understand how important it is to place your pets in trustworthy hands, and I’ll always treat your fur babies with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I’m not just there to complete tasks — I genuinely love animals and enjoy bonding with them, making sure they feel loved, comforted, and cared for while their humans are away. Whether your pet needs a fun, active environment or a calm and relaxing space, I’m happy to accommodate their unique personality and needs to help them feel happy, safe and comfortable while in my care. Thank you for considering me! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! :) I have a very flexible schedule as someone who creates my own work hours, which allows me to accommodate many different schedules and give your pet plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I care for your pets in your home with the same love, attention, and respect that I would give my own. I greet them warmly and offer plenty of pets, cuddles, affection, and companionship based on their individual personality and comfort level. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, playtime, and any additional accommodations or care requested. For pets who require walks, I ensure they are safely harnessed and comfortable while allowing them time to explore and sniff at their own pace. I stay attentive to their surroundings, prioritize their safety around other animals, and make sure they remain comfortable in all weather conditions — never too hot or too cold. My goal is always to help your pets feel safe, cared for, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. :)
About: I have experience with many types of animals, including my own. I have volunteered at standard animal shelters and even horse rescues. I have been sitting for a few months now with some wonderful families. Check out my references for more details! Fun Fact: I have also owned cats, dogs, and even a guinea pig. Since I am an online nursing student, I have a completely flexible schedule. You tell me when you need me! I am available weekdays, weekends, and weeknights. I am great with medication management as well as making sure your pet has adequate play time outside their traditional routines. I am also good at following directions on how you want your pet's day to look.
“Keri was a wonderful substitute for “mom” while I was out of town. My cat Mabel had been struggling with my being gone and having only occasional visits from friends, so I hired Keri to come and check in on her every day during my most recent trip. Keri was very responsive and sent me pictures of Mabel around the house every day - huge for a cat that normally hides when anyone but mom is there! I can home to a much happier cat and will definitely be using Keri again.”
“Karli was great! She was really thorough with daily updates and to my surprise, my apprehensive natured cats, felt very comfortable to interact with her. Thanks again, Karli!”
“We were glad to find Coleen last minute and having our 2 cats well taken care of. She made effort to get familiar with the kitties who can be shy and scared of new people. She was also thoughtful in their comfort level both with her and all around in the apartment when we were away. It was assuring to read the detailed visit summary that Coleen made.”

Elva was great with my dogs! She is professional, reliable, always on time, and truly cares about making sure my babies get the most out of their visit. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands, and they were always happy and well cared for after spending time with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
After reviewing Beth’s profile, I knew my husband and I found a good fit for our cat Greyleigh. All of our instructions were followed, and Grey seemed to warm up to Beth as the days went on! We appreciate the attentiveness and care that Beth showed Greyleigh during the drop-ins. We’ll definitely be booking with Beth in the future!
We had Nicholas care for our dog and four cats while we were away, including administering medication twice daily for one of our cats. Overall, he was reliable and made sure everyone was fed, cared for, and safe. We appreciated the photos and updates during visits. Our dog did get spooked during one walk due to a loud car and had a harder time going out after that, so more backyard time was used. There was an accident during one of the visits, which he handled and cleaned up, and we appreciated that. Overall, we’re grateful our pets were well cared for and would book again.
Keri is great! Keri has watched our cats several times and she always takes great care of them. Any time we need someone to look after our cats we hope Keri is available since the cats like her and she always does a great job. Highly recommend if you are looking for a reliable pet sitter.
We had a great experience with Jackie. She came to our home daily to feed and check on our cat. Jackie was always on time, reliable, kind and cared about making sure our cat was comfortable and well taken care of. We loved seeing pictures she sent. Her son played with our cat which made us so happy and reassured that our cat was getting extra love and attention. It gave us a real peace of mind when we were away. We would definitely recommend her and happily book her again!
