“We are the happiest cat parents because we went with Abi. She is reliable and very communicative which is very important to us. We are usually not a nervous people but being new to Chicago and had to leave our cats for a couple a couple of days we were terrified because so far they always traveled with us. Abi made us feel comfortable from the first time that we reached out and I knew that we could count on her to be very communicative. Great experience with Rover. Thank you. Great experience with Abi. We found the person we were looking for. Thank you again. Derek and Irina.”

“Coretta is very reliable and we enjoy working with her! She built trust with both cats (even our scaredy cat), and she sends great pictures and updates. We are return customers and will continue to be:)”

“Kayleigh was great to work with, providing detailed updates and taking in a couple of our packages. Our cat Logan was happy to us when we arrived home and seemed perfectly comfortable while we were away a few days.”

“I call TAMARA the dog whisperer. She is one of the most patient, kind, loving, and thoughtful animal owners I know. I envy this about her. She has watch my dog numerous times and each time he thinks he’s at a dog spa with the attention and care she provides him. Anyone would be extremely excited to have her as a care giver.”

“Danielle is a wonderful pet sitter who took superb care of Java while I was away. Last minute, Java was prescribed medicine and Danielle was able to give Java his meds without problem while I was gone. My heart felt at ease with Java in Danielle’s care!”

“Kristen makes sure that our senior ladies get their pee breaks. I am certain that our new pup Kaia loves her at their first meeting. Thank yoi for being patient with them!”

“Samantha is such a great sitter! She’s super communicative and sends great updates during her visits. It definitely makes traveling/having to leave my cat much easier knowing that she will be in Samantha’s care ☺️”

“Q has quickly become our go-to pet sitter. She always provides top-notch care, and we love that she is often accompanied by her son, who our cat absolutely adores.”

“Very sweet and very helpful, thank you!”

“Kayla did a good job checking in on my cats while I was away. She refilled their water, changed their litter, cleaned up vomit, and played with them.”

“Vipul did a fantastic job with my two cats and was a pleasure to coordinate with. He really has a way with cats, and mine both took to him quickly. I'd absolutely work with him again.”

“To whom it may concern, Delajah is a wonderful caregiver. She is reliable, understanding and extremely flexible. I have 3 dogs, that she has walked for me for the past 6 months. I appreciate how she is always prompt, and genuinely loves my dogs as if they are her own. In her experience, I have also referred her to other friends in which she has cared for their dogs as well. Delajah is compassionate and makes sure that my dog's needs are always met. She is familiar with the area and is cautious as to where she takes them on their walks. She goes above and beyond, and extends her time, to not only walk but play with them as well. I would describe her performance as consistent, experienced, and thorough. Delajah fulfills her responsibilities above expectations and is knowledgable of emergency pet care. I hope you consider her for the position! If you have any questions, please contact me. Sincerely, Karease”

“Megan was absolutely wonderful! She took fantastic care of my cat and sent check-in photos, played with him each day, and kept my apartment clean. I will definitely come back to her the next time I need a sitter.”

“Dana is amazing! She was so helpful and cared for our 2 kitties like they were her own. She stopped by to see where their things were and meet them before the drop-ins. Thank you, Dana!”

“We appreciate that Enya was able to accommodate our pups despite the short notice. She was very communicative and took pictures to keep us updated. It also helps that our senior pups took a liking to her. Will gladly work with her. Again.. thank you!!”

“The visit photos showed that my shy cats were happy to play with Kai. And even though it was a last-minute holiday booking, Kai worked around my schedule to promptly get and return my keys. I would definitely welcome her into my home to care for my cats again.”

“Little Kaia took a liking to Katerina at first meeting which was a rarity since it takes a while for our corgi to open up to strangers. Katerina gave lots of pets and was patient with both senior pups. She also gave photos and updates. Looking forward to working with her again in the future.”

“Bola’s wonderful! We’re glad to have her support with our dogs.”

About: I am located in Hyde Park and generally available to dog walk or pet sit in that area (though I am potentially willing to travel further for longer dog or cat sitting stays). I have about 5 years of dog sitting and dog walking experience, have had cats most of my life, and am more than happy to provide references from pleased clients (and their human owners :P ). I have experience with dogs that are energetic and raring to go and some that are more reticent and shy, and I love cats as well. Let me know what your dog or cat needs and I will be happy to help! I am working full time but can be available evenings or for overnight stays, and will have more time available ane flexibility during some holidays. I am not currently available to host pets in my home, but if I am staying in your space I am respectful of the space and open to whatever is needed for your pet's comfort and safety.

“Susanna has taken care of all of my pets over the course of the last several years. All of my animals, including my super shy, stranger-danger cat, love her and are so excited to hear her voice. She does a great job wrangling the dogs, gently teaching the puppy manners on the leash over the course of their walks. 10/10 would recommend”
