Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Oak Park Southeast

“Super sweet to help out super last minute as we got stuck 10 hours away. Our poor babies had pooped inside and she picked it all up so we wouldn’t come back to a total mess. She was also amazing with our GSD who can be shy/timid. We will definitely use her again!!”

“Ron took great care of our dogs over a five day period during a busy holiday season. His drop-in visits occurred in the schedule we had requested, and he managed the daily walks we had asked for in addition to the regular feeding, watering, and backyard visits. With all the real-time notices of his visits, and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip. Great experience!”

“Taryn was wonderful! She was kind, respectful, and made me feel like taking care of my kitty wasn’t just a job. She made him feel really at home and he can be pretty shy. I loved seeing the daily pictures. She was very flexible with my schedule as well which I so appreciate!! Would definitely recommend to anyone and would book again for sure. This was my first time using Rover and it was a lovely experience with her.”

Robert S.

“Montana was great with our elderly cat. We loved getting regular pictures and updates.”

“Sharon did a great job. My kitties were happy when I returned home. In the past one of them would have behavior issues, not using box, when we were out of town. Having Sharon spend an hour a day with them solved this problem.”

Erin C.

“Jasmine has been a lifesaver for the 2 kitties! They were available on short notice and have gone above and beyond to help with the cats health needs. Jasmine was communicative and sent lots of photos! I would highly recommend Jasmine!!”

“Vanessa was awesome! We only booked a drop in, but she helped us out a lot when we needed our girls to be taken potty while we were out of town for the day. Thank you again! We’ll definitely rebook in the future.”

“Shannon always takes excellent care of my cats. She is so thoughtful. She makes sure to collect my mail and she leaves the place sparkling clean, which in my opinion is above and beyond. Thanks so much for taking the very best care of my boys!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, but what really sets me apart is hands-on experience actually raising and training one myself. I grew up training my German Shepherd from a young age, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand dog behavior, not just watch them. As a student athlete, I’m very active, so I naturally bring a lot of energy to walks, playtime, and keeping dogs engaged. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, some need structure and training, while others need calm, gentle care, especially seniors. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training, handling larger or high-energy breeds, and making sure pets feel safe and understood while their owners are away. I don’t just “watch” dogs, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and building trust. As a college student athlete, I keep a very structured schedule, which actually makes me reliable and consistent when it comes to pet care. I plan my days around responsibilities, so I make sure pets are fed, walked, and given attention on time. I also work part-time at a golf course, but I’m looking to spend more of my free time doing something I enjoy, being around dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because it gives me a break from school and sports while still staying active. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or evening care, I’m used to balancing multiple commitments and staying dependable. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine, feeding times, walks, play, and any training habits they’re used to. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s environment, making sure everything stays clean, safe, and stress-free. I give dogs plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision, and I always keep owners updated so they feel confident their pet is in good hands. I’m especially attentive to energy levels and behavior, whether that means getting a high-energy dog out for a long walk or just spending calm time with a more relaxed or older dog.

“Ella was SO great!! Helped me out with our dog rather last minute, and was very accommodating when we needed to add extra drop ins. She communicated well and was able to do a few quick things for us at the house too. My dog is not the biggest fan of people she doesn’t know so it was a relief to find someone that was so accommodating. Highly recommend! .”

Jacquelyn S.

“Fantastic! Was out of town for two weeks and relied on Rachel to drop in on our cat every two days. Got excellent, detailed updates and pictures, and my normally antisocial scardy-cat took to her immediately! Definitely someone you and your pet can trust!! Will book again in the future.”

About: My husband, Noah, and I love animals of all shapes and sizes. We work together to give your pet the attention, care, and love that they deserve. We are avid walkers and love to play, so we can’t wait to walk and play with your pet. My goal is a happy, healthy, and safe pet all while having fun and spending quality time together. We are happy to take dogs for hikes and extra long walks. Just send me a message! I work Monday through Friday from 8am until 4pm. I am available for drop ins and walks before and after work and anytime on weekends. My husband Noah has a more flexible schedule. I take care of client’s home as if it were my home. It is important for me to feel at home and safe, so that in turn the dog(s) feel more at home and safe with me.

“I needed recurring visits & Arrica was more than helpful with my dog! She truly saw my dog as her own & took wonderful care of him. Will be booking with her again if I need someone to drop in on him!”

About: I grew up raising and caring for dogs, gaining hands-on experience with feeding, training, grooming, and understanding different breeds’ behaviors, needs, and personalities in a loving, responsible environment. I am available during the day but I work from 1a-11a . Please note that my children may also be present at my home during the stay. I will get the extra accessories I need , due to me not having a fenced in yard,such as a leash, a harness, and toys if not provided ! I will ensure to keep your fur babies entertained!

“This was our first time ever hiring a pet sitter so we didn’t quite know what to expect. We picked Lindsay based on her profile and reviews and we liked that she lived really close. We met her and immediately knew that she would be great with our two cats and dog. They all immediately took to her as well which was a great sign! We only did a two day one night trip but we will definitely look forward to having Lindsay watch our pets again! She communicated how they were doing and sent lots of great pictures. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pets while we were able to go on a quick trip. Looking forward to longer trips in the future and I’ll know that our pets are in great hands!”
