For my husband and I, our furry baby Sasha, is our only child and we are a bit neurotic about her care. Sasha brings unique challenges with being 160 lb senior Great Pyrenees/Leonberger with atypical Addison's disease and doesn't handle stress well. Sabina was professional and very attentive during the meet and greet, which gave us a comfort level. During the actual house sitting, Sabrina did everything possible to make crazy pup parents comfortable. Between the regular update texts and great pictures, we knew our girl was being well taken care of. I never thought we would of been able to get this level of piece of mind that Sasha was going to be taken care of like we would of. Sabrina has given us that piece of mind!

Sarah went above and beyond while caring for our dog at our home. We have a very anxious dog that can be challenging to care for. She was patient and gave him space. Sarah was great with communication and photos, and was flexible with our departure and arrival times. Can't say enough good things!

This was the first time Abigail watched our house and pets but it felt like she’d been doing it for ages because her updates were so thorough and gave us peace of mind. The dogs and cat took to her immediately and our home was so well taken care of too.

We just had Joyce for 3 days and nights as we went on a work trip. She was perfection. The dogs were so happy (got lots of happy and tired dog pics) and she left the house spotless, too. Can’t recommend her enough. The best dog sitter we’ve ever had by far. Thank you Joyce 🙏🏽

About: Hello! My name is Kendall and I am a librarian who lives in the near west suburbs of Chicago. I have had pets, both cats and dogs, throughout my entire life. I currently have a 14-year-old cat named Frances who has been with me for 9 years, and she is the light of my life. I have several years of experience caring for pets, and have met clients through pet care apps, a professional pet care company by whom I was employed, and also friends and acquaintances. I have dealt with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and ages of dogs, and feel very comfortable caring for cats, birds, and other small pets as well. I would love to help you care for your furry friend! I am available on weekends, early mornings and late in evenings. I work full time but have a flexible schedule, so I can also potentially make availability during the daytime on week days. I understand that every pet owner has their own preferences and routines that work for them, and I am glad to give each pet the individual attention that they deserve. I follow instructions thoroughly while also maintaining a sense of alertness and adaptability in case unexpected issues arise.

If you need someone reliable, experienced, and caring to take care of your dog, look no further than Katelyn. She is one of the only people I trust to watch my dog and she’s truly the best. My dog has pretty significant health issues and Katelyn has no problem giving him oral meds, insulin injections, and eye drops. When he’s with her I never have to worry, and I know that he’s well taken care of and loved. She also has two dogs of her own and has extensive experience fostering dogs of all shapes and sizes. I simply cannot recommend her enough!

How reassuring it is to have Dorothy take care of my dog. He's an older lab and does things at his own pace and Dorothy is loving and patient with him. You can tell that she enjoys him as much as he enjoys her. Since she often works from home, he feels comfortable having her around. She even found a way to easily give him his meds. She also took care of a neighbor's cat and they got along great. Highly recommended.

About: In lieu of getting pets of my own, I’m hoping others will give me the opportunity to share my love of caring for and communicating with animals. Pet sitting and dog walking also seem like a great way to be more community-oriented! I consult from home, so this helps me better structure my day. There may be occasions where a meeting keeps me from having the same exact schedule daily, but if flexibility isn’t an issue, I’m available on every weekday. Besides providing care according to a client’s requests, I believe pets are excellent communicators. I seek to make sure they trust me and can expect a good time whenever I’m around.
