“Might as well also be a goat sitter because she's the GOAT cat sitter. We've used her many times and she's always a rock star. Very thorough and thoughtful messages and tons of photos of the babies. Our one day had a cone this time and she was very good about that.”

About: Hi! I'm Rachael, and I've grown up with dogs my entire life. Having always had one (or several!) furry friends in my home, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets. I provide reliable, timely, and friendly pet care, and I will treat your pets with the same love and attention I would give my own. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or overnight care, I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I recently graduated from DePaul with a degree in Film & Television Production and am spending time in Chicago before moving to Los Angeles to pursue my post-grad career in the entertainment industry. I will be available in Chicago from June 20–24 and July 6–20, which allows me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and pet sitting. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, caring for pets has always been a natural part of my routine, and I enjoy making sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they need throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. I will treat both your home and your pets with the utmost respect, kindness, and care. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and any special needs your pet may have. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I understand that every pet is unique and deserves individualized attention. My goal is to provide dependable care and ensure your furry family members are treated as if they were my own while you're away.

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for pets. I have always had pets in my home and understand the love, patience, and responsibility they need. My friends and family often trust me to help care for their pets when they are away. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for pet care. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide walks, visits, feeding, and attention based on each pet’s needs. I am responsible and will make sure your pet receives the care and attention they need. I provide pets with a safe, clean, and calm environment. In a client’s home, I will follow the owner’s instructions and keep the pet’s normal routine, including feeding, playtime, and care. In my home, I will make sure pets feel comfortable and receive plenty of attention. I always respect each pet’s personality and needs and make safety my priority.

About: I have pets of my own. I see pets as part of family so the care I provide is same as for my fuzzy love bugs, lots of luv and snuggles and maybe some extra treats if permitted ;) I know what’s it like to be away from your fuzzy friends so I will provide regular updates if you wish so. Available on weekdays/ weekends- mostly flexible schedule. Can stay overnight if needed, available on holidays. Can stop by for short time to check on your pets, play with them and feed them. I am available to stop by, walk/feed and care for your dogs or cats. I am also available to stay overnight if you are traveling and need full time care for your pets.

About: I have always connected with animals, but it wasn’t until I adopted my dog Chica that I truly understood the special bond between a person and their pet. Living with a dog who experiences separation anxiety changed the way I see pet care. I know how difficult it can feel to leave your dog when you are worried they may feel stressed, lonely, or unsure without you. Because I spend a lot of time at home, I wanted to create a place where dogs can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their families are away. My goal is not just to provide a place for a dog to stay, but to make them feel welcomed, understood, and part of a peaceful home. My dog Chica is an important part of my home environment. She is a small senior female who is very comfortable sharing her space with other animals. She has stayed with many dogs and cats in different homes, as well as welcomed them into ours. When meeting new dogs, she usually either politely sniffs and settles in or simply gives them their own space. Her calm personality helps create a relaxed environment, especially for dogs who prefer a quieter experience. Because Chica is part of my home, I also want to make sure every dog who stays with us is comfortable sharing space with another dog. I welcome dogs who can respect her boundaries and settle into a calm home environment. Before each stay, I like to learn about your dog’s personality, routines, and needs so we can make sure it is a safe and positive experience for everyone. I have experience caring for dogs with different needs, including anxious dogs, senior dogs, puppies, and dogs who need oral medications. I believe every dog has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to learn what helps each dog feel secure and comfortable. I offer one-on-one boarding and daycare in my quiet first-floor apartment, where I only care for one family’s dog(s) at a time. This allows me to give each dog my full attention and avoid the stress of a crowded environment. My priority is making sure your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and like they belong. I want them to have companionship, a familiar routine, and someone paying attention to the little things that make them feel at home. I will also send regular photo updates so you can stay connected and feel reassured while you are away. Before booking, I always like to make sure each dog’s personality and needs are a good match for my home environment. If you feel it would help, I am happy to arrange a meet-and-greet so your dog can become familiar with me, Chica, and the space before their stay. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already organize my days around my own dog, Chica. Since she has separation anxiety, we make sure someone is always with her, which means guest dogs also benefit from having companionship throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and only care for one family's dog(s) at a time, allowing me to give them my full attention and adapt to their routine whenever possible. If I ever anticipate being away for a short period, I will always discuss it with you beforehand so we can make sure it works for your dog's needs. I live in a quiet first-floor apartment with a small fenced patio. For safety, any time spent outside on the patio is always supervised, and dogs are kept on a leash unless we've agreed otherwise. If you prefer that your dog doesn't use the patio, I'm happy to follow your preferences. I tailor each dog's routine to their individual needs. Whether that means quiet walks, extra potty breaks, or more time to explore, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them feel most comfortable. If your dog enjoys getting out, I can also take them to nearby parks, and I regularly enjoy spending time in nature with my own dog. Above all, I want your dog to feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while they're with me. I'll follow your instructions closely, keep you updated with photos, and make sure both your dog and Chica are comfortable throughout the stay.

About: I’ve been dog sitting and walking dogs since I was in high school for neighbors, friends, and even a few of my teachers. I grew up around animals and have always loved spending time with them. At my childhood home we would often watch friends’ dogs while they were away, so caring for pets has been part of my life for a long time. Most of my experience is with dogs, but I’ve also cared for cats and other small pets. I even had a pet bird for a couple of years, so I’ve always enjoyed being around animals of all kinds. I work as a film editor, and Rover is something I do on the side because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting outside for walks. It’s a nice way to break up the day and spend time with some great pets. I’m comfortable with drop-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I tend to work more with dogs, but I’m happy to help with cats as well depending on the situation. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always try to make visits calm, fun, and stress-free for them. I’m always happy to do a quick meet-and-greet beforehand so your pet can get to know me and we can make sure it’s a good match. I have a flexible schedule and can usually fit pet visits easily into my day. I work as a film editor, so I’m often working from home and can step out for drop-ins, walks, feeding, or playtime. Pet visits are something I enjoy doing to get outside and spend time with animals, so I try to make each visit relaxed and attentive for your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep things calm and consistent with their usual routine. I’m attentive to instructions for feeding, walks, medications, or anything else your pet needs. I make sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away and treat every home with respect and care.

“Casey has been very patient with getting to know our anxious rescue dog, she takes the time to learn his routines and sets him up to feel comfortable. They got along right away as Casey has great energy and understands how to communicate well with dogs and read body language.”

“We’re so thankful we found Maria to care for Odin and Loki. She was on time, kept us in the loop, and the boys were clearly happy and relaxed with her. From the first meeting, it was obvious she had a natural way with dogs, and we felt comfortable. She stayed responsive to our questions and made the whole experience stress-free. Truly grateful for her help — we’d happily book with her again and highly recommend her!”

“If you’re looking for a pet sitter who you can trust and will go above and beyond. Pixie was amazing with my cat Mo, took plenty of pictures and videos. Leaving our cat for a couple days was stressful, but Pixie made it a breeze and we knew she was in good hands.”

Alec M.

“Jane is super top notch!!! I can’t recommend her enough. It can be a little nerve-wracking to be out of the country for over a week, however my mind was at ease regarding my pets and my home. Jane was very consistent with her high-quality care and communication, with regular updates that didn’t leave anything up to assumption. I always knew what was getting done, with any questions or concerns being quickly addressed. Jane spent extra time playing with our 4-month old kitten who was alone at home for the first time. The amount of thought and care she put in was extremely evident and appreciated. Her demeanor was always calm, easy-going, friendly, and to-the-point. She went above and beyond. Don’t think twice about hiring Jane to keep your loved ones happy and safe!”

“Alex was a fantastic caretaker for our two cats. He followed instructions to the T and left very detailed notes and plenty of pictures everyday, giving us assurance and ease while we were away. We will happily work with him again and recommend him to anyone in need of a responsible, caring guardian for your pet.”

About: What’s the most important thing all dog owners want to know before entrusting their dogs to a stranger? Well first of all I’m from Jersey. I’ll play with your dog, make sure they’re happy, take them on a walk, not lose them, and feed them only what you tell me to feed them. No human food, I promise. Unless of course that’s in your list of food to give them. Of course hydrate them as well. I know the do’s and don’ts of a dog’s diet since I have 2 of my own. I’ve also been fostering dogs on and off for the past 3 years. I am known to be reliable and responsible, so I can assure you that you can rest easy with leaving your dog(s) in my care. Or if you have a cat, I also get along super well with them since I also have 2 of my own! I work from home so I do have some flexibility or if you need eyes on your little one for long hours I will also be able to do that. I do have 2 cats so I have pet gates up to separate my cats from any dogs. The dogs get free roaming of the living room which tends to be enough for my two dogs plus any friends they’ve had over. Routine in my home is key. At your home, I’ll stick to your routine and respect your house rules. Whatever you require, it will be respected.

“Chloe did an incredible job at the last minute, helping us with cat care when our other sitter fell through. She is clearly a really lovely person, and was professional, responsible, and thorough on top of that. Our cat seemed not to miss us at all!! I highly recommend her.”

Katherine S.

“Amari was great! She was super attentive and very communicative the whole time I was away. I really appreciated her and her time and will definitely be rebooking. When I returned to my apartment everything was just how I left it and my cat was much calmer than previous times that I’ve been away. Loved her and would definitely recommend her services!!!”
