Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In South Chicago

About: With three years of focused experience as a cat owner and sitter, I’ve learned that every cat is a unique individual with their own language and routine. My approach isn’t one-size-fits-all; I prioritize safety, comfort, and personalized attention to ensure your furry friend feels secure and loved while you’re away. My work schedule is actually a huge advantage for pet care! Because I work a stable 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM shift, I am home and available during the key times pets need attention: early mornings, late afternoons, evenings, and all weekend long. In your home, my focus is on providing worry-free care by treating your space and your pet with the utmost respect and attention. Because I work a stable 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM shift, I am available for the key times pets need attention—whether that’s an afternoon drop-in, a long walk, or an evening stay—ensuring your pet is never alone for too long. I prioritize safety by rigorously following your instructions, ensuring doors are always locked behind me, and keeping a close eye on your pet to prevent them from slipping out. I also believe in leaving your home better than I found it; I’ll clean up litter tracks, wash food bowls, and handle small tasks like mail retrieval to keep your home running smoothly. With daily photo updates and a proactive eye for any potential issues, you can relax knowing your home and pet are in secure, caring hands.

About: I have always cared for the cats of my neighbors in Chicago, let alone other cats. Since my young adult years, I always have had cats and have been learning how to care for them from personal experience, reading online, and visiting vets as well as volunteering at shelters in Chicago over the years or supporting fundraisers! I am available nowadays to care for your pet at my home for a short period of time. Or I could visit your home! I am aware of territory adjustments and super careful about health issues. I have experience working with children and understand how important it is to supervise and engage with pets all the time! Also, it is important to pay attention to them in terms of health and behavior and provide a healthy routine of meals and clean litter boxes, among other things.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs since I was three years old! I’ve owned four dogs: a cocker spaniel, a pug, a french bulldog and a yorkie. When my friends need a dog sitter or pet advice, I’m the first person they call. I’ve volunteered at an animal rescue for two years, and have a lot of knowledge caring for senior pups especially! I’m currently home for the summer from college, so I’m available pretty much all week round! My basic hours are 10am to 9pm, which gives me plenty of time to make sure your pet is loved and properly cared for throughout the day. I am very respectful of my clients’ home. I want to not only keep your pet happy and safe, but also respect your personal space and privacy. My caring for your pet will include feeding, walking, and playing with them while also making sure to clean up any messes made and maintain a clean space for you to come home to!

“T’Wanna was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure that my cat had plenty of company and lots of pets and cuddles. She communicated well with me each step of the way letting me know how much food he had eaten, she replenished the water in the litter and let me know how he was doing overall.

About: Hello my name is Aria. I’m pleased to make you and your pet’s acquaintance. Over the past decade I have had a myriad of experience caring for animals in both a work and home environment. I’m the resident animal person that my family and friends turn to when they need help with their pets. I’m caring, passionate, and patient and believe all animals deserving of respect and comfort. So far I’ve cared for two dogs, three cats, a Guinea pig and a red eared slider turtle. I’ve had my pit bull terrier Kida since she was 6 months old. She will be turning the big 13 this coming February. I have also worked as a walker and doggy day care attendant for Aeslin Pup Hub and Tails Up LLC right here in Chicago. So I’ve had my fair share of walking, feeding, grooming and sitting. I look forward to working with you and your fuzzy loved ones in the near future. I mostly working part time from home during the week, so I'll have plenty of availability Monday through Friday. We can even situate weekends if needed. I alway maintain a clean and quiet area for my cat and dog to comfortably lounge in. When they're in need of some play or potty time, I make sure devote my time and energy to them.
