Gregory took amazing care of our cat. Great communication and thorough check-ins. Our kitty is usually a little upset with us after returning from travel, but this time he was his usual happy self. Gregory provided him with enough love and scratches until we returned. We're so grateful and hope to hire Gregory again in the future!

Jorinee was excellent with both of my cats. I am so glad I found her. I use to be concerned about who would look after my fur babies or even if I would be able to travel at all. My cats were very comfortable with her. They were relaxed, well fed and their litter box was clean. You can tell it was done on a consistent basis. I have another lengthy vacation for next year and will no doubt be requesting her. She is excellent and I would recommend her to anyone asking.

Emily has been stopping in to feed and play with our puppy a couple days a week for the past few months, and we were so lucky to find her. She is flexible, responsive, helpful, knowledgeable, and takes great care of our pup. She has given us pointers on stopping bad behavior and has even brought him toys. We are very comfortable leaving him alone during the day knowing she's going to stop by to give him the attention he needs. I cannot say enough good things about her.

My background has taught me discipline, responsibility, and attention to detail, which I bring into every pet-sitting experience. Since my schedule is so open, I’m able to give pets the time, care, and attention they deserve—without rushing or distractions.

About: I have worked with animals in various roles throughout the years, from working in a doggy daycare, to volunteering and fostering with various rescue organizations (OTAT, RWAR). I am experienced in senior pet care, administering medication, and some obedience training. I have a soft spot for brachycephalic breeds, and I owned and raised a Boston Terrier rescue dog for 12 years (RIP Batman 2009-2023). I currently own a mellow and submissive lab/husky mix, Henry, and a Maine Coon/Domestic Medium Hair cat, Tater Tot. Both get along with other animals. I am currently not working a full time W2 job, so I have plenty of time to walk and babysit your furry friends. I am available for on-demand walks in the city limits of Chicago and south suburbs. For North and Northwest Suburbs, I can be flexible with enou I own a historic Victorian row home; it is 3 stories plus a basement and 2600 sq ft. My home is in the heart of the Historic Pullman District, on National Park Service land. My neighborhood is VERY safe, and my home is also down the street from the 005 District Police Station. My home has plenty of room to spare for your fur children. Not only that, I also have a 6 ft fully fenced yard. There is a dog park 3 blocks from my home, and I am in close proximity to several Forest Preserves. If baths are requested, bath lovers can enjoy baths in a jacuzzi tub, and bath tolerators will be bathed in a walk in shower with a double rainfall showerhead, and a handheld shower head for the hard to reach spots. I can offer pickup and dropoff for those without a car or time to spare, and dogs will be transported in a seatbelt for safety.

My cats could be a bit shy with strangers but they were able to warm up to Lupe fast. They feel at home when she takes care of them, which is a relief when I am away.

Camille was so wonderful with my dogs Reina and Kyro and I’m so thankful for her! I am active duty military so when I had a hectic work schedule that would keep me away from home for extended hours throughout the day, Camille faithfully came by to feed my dogs, walk them, and even stayed with them for periods of time. My sweet Kyro has separation anxiety and doesn’t take well to new people, but with Camille he grew fond of her quickly! Both my dogs love her and I had no doubt that they would be properly cared for. Over the years, she’s been our go to pet caregiver and has even welcomed our third pup Zeus with open arms. I would choose her again and again, and highly recommend her. If you are looking for someone who loves animals, is kind and patient, along with respectful of your home, she should be your first call!

About: I have worked with animals in various roles throughout the years, from working in a doggy daycare, to volunteering and fostering with various rescue organizations (OTAT, RWAR). I am experienced in senior pet care, administering medication, and some obedience training. I have a soft spot for brachycephalic breeds, and I owned and raised a Boston Terrier rescue dog for 12 years (RIP Batman 2009-2023). I currently own a mellow and submissive lab/husky mix, Henry, and a Maine Coon/Domestic Medium Hair cat, Tater Tot. Both get along with other animals. I am currently not working a full time W2 job, so I have plenty of time to walk and babysit your furry friends. I am available for on-demand walks in the city limits of Chicago and south suburbs. For North and Northwest Suburbs, I can be flexible with enou I own a historic Victorian row home; it is 3 stories plus a basement and 2600 sq ft. My home is in the heart of the Historic Pullman District, on National Park Service land. My neighborhood is VERY safe, and my home is also down the street from the 005 District Police Station. My home has plenty of room to spare for your fur children. Not only that, I also have a 6 ft fully fenced yard. There is a dog park 3 blocks from my home, and I am in close proximity to several Forest Preserves. If baths are requested, bath lovers can enjoy baths in a jacuzzi tub, and bath tolerators will be bathed in a walk in shower with a double rainfall showerhead, and a handheld shower head for the hard to reach spots. I can offer pickup and dropoff for those without a car or time to spare, and dogs will be transported in a seatbelt for safety.

Danielle is the best sitter I've ever had. She not only cares for my 13 year old dog Snow but treats him with the senior care he needs. She make sure he gets his afternoon arthritis pills he needs and she always follows instructions of where he can and can't go outside so he doesn't trip of hurt himself. She is always on time, and dependable. Because she knows how to care for senior dogs I only trust Danielle to take care of Snow. With her vet tech background, I trust her judgment if at any day something happens with Snow and she recommends he needs to go to the vet asap. Thank you Danielle!!! A+++

We LOVE Frances. I met her through our work (also with dogs!) and was more comfortable leaving them with her than at our work (as my dogs have only ever slept in houses/with people, never a kennel/vet). THEY. LOVE. HER. To the point where, when last we booked with Frances, they knew the sound of the car parked outside and Could. Not. Wait. To. Get. In. Very kid at a sleepover 'okayseeyamomloveyaBYE!!!!' Also it's easy to get an update whenever we want one, which is always nice/keeps peace of mind, not that we need it at this point. 17/10 recommend.
