About: I have owned dogs and cats for 27 years and have learned that each pet is unique and deserving of great love and care. I've trained a puppy, rescued a young dog, given dogs and cats medicine, taken care of an ailing senior animal, gone on long walks and given plenty of belly rubs. I recently left my full-time job to focus on freelancing. This gives me flexibility and lots of time to care for pets. I would like to establish long-term relationships with pets and their owners. If I'm checking in on your pet, I will respect your home as if it were my own. I'll follow your care instructions to the letter, and make sure your pet feels safe and happy. For walks, I'll provide the utmost care to ensure your pet is safe while getting the amount of exercise and outdoor activity they need.

Jackie was wonderful and so professional. She sent us photos after every visit and made us feel so comforted that our babies were being taken care of. She was quick to respond to our messages and always so nice! 10/10 experience and we will definitely be reaching back out to her the next time we need someone to watch our babies! ?

Glenn provided consistent care and attention for my cat and undertook the challenge of caring for my parrot although he was without prior bird experience. Both bird and cat were happy and healthy upon my return and Glenn communicated daily reports on them while I was away. I couldn’t be more pleased.

Debra did a could drop-in visits on my kitties while my boyfriend and I were away for a few days. She met with us beforehand to chat and see where everything was. She was very warm and friendly, and she came by exactly when she said she would on those drop-in days. Their food and water were topped off when we got home and litter was all cleaned. They were well taken care of- thanks Debra!!

About: I have 5+ years of experience walking and taking care of dogs, and I’ve loved every second of it. Exercising with a furry friend is always on my agenda! I am currently a full-time student at DePaul University in Lincoln park! I only have a class or two daily, leaving me open weekdays from 8-11 and 5-10! Weekends my availability depends, but I am flexible! I love to exercise and find ways to get my walks in daily, the buddy would just be an added plus! I currently live in a dorm, so any services would need to be provided outside of my residence. Im willing to stay overnights most days, depending on distance to Lincoln park / the loop.

About: I’m a social worker, a mom to 2 pit bulls, 1 senior cat, and 1 human toddler. I grew up on a farm and I am a lifelong animal lover. Between the various needs of my creatures at home, and my experience over the last 20 years, I’m well equipped to take care of your babies. I have somewhat flexible availability during the week, and even more so on the weekends. I work from home some days of the week and can pop out as needed. I am attentive to your instructions for care and walk in with eyes wide open. If something seems off, I’ll let you know right away. I’m also happy to send cute pics to reassure you that your babies are doing great :)

Takia has been absolutely amazing! She checked in on my dog for 5 days and always sent multiple photos daily with paragraph updates. My dog needed oral meds daily and she was able to give with no issue at all! She even added cuddles with my pup as a cherry on top! Thank you Takia for the kind loving care towards my best friend. We will definitely be returning customers 🐶❤️

We cannot say enough good things about Kim. From the start, she was communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly reliable. She took amazing care of our cat Bobby and truly went above and beyond - even bringing our packages inside while we were away, which we really appreciated. Her updates gave us total peace of mind, and it was clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.

I left for about 2.5 weeks to go home for the holidays and was really nervous about leaving my cat at home. I’d never used Rover before and reached out to Emily. She responded super quickly and while I was gone texted me every time she went to see Yoshi, sent photos, and really spent time with her to make sure she was okay. It made me feel so much better about being gone, I will definitely use her again she was amazing and I can’t recommend her enough.
