Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In South Lawndale

“Luis was wonderful with our cat Mango when we needed last minute care over the holidays! He was super communicative and made sure to spend quality time with her while we were away.”

Elizabeth D.

“I had such a great experience with my Lizbeth! She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. What really stood out was her flexibility—when my flight got canceled, she kindly agreed to take care of my cat an extra day. That meant so much to me and truly showed her dedication and professionalism. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”

Cindy L.

“Once again, Michael is the GOAT. Excellent care and actually takes time to interact with your pets. My cat loves him and I’ll book him again, undoubtedly.”

Sam R.

“Very reliable and she stepped up last minute and helped a lot! She was very thorough with instructions and gave me all the updates which I was very appreciative of. Definitely recommend!!”

Ana A.

“The best, as always! I had accidentally unplugged my kitty's automatic feeder after moving it and Kristi caught it + re-programmed it during her drop-in. Thank you sooo much!”

About: Hi! I’m Emily — a dependable and caring animal lover based in Chicago. I’ve had medium to large dogs my whole life, so I’m very comfortable handling different energy levels, personalities, and needs. I also volunteer at PAWS Chicago, where I spend time caring for and working with dogs of different temperaments. This has given me experience reading dog behavior and helping them feel safe and comfortable in new environments. I currently don’t have a dog of my own at home, which allows me to give my full attention to the pets I’m caring for and be flexible with scheduling. My family dog Bella likes to come for a visit here and there for a few days in a row. She will not be with on our walks or home visits. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I’m happy to adjust to your dog’s routine, energy level, and personality. Whether your dog needs a long walk, playtime, or just some company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m very responsive, detail-oriented, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet like they’re my own and aim to make the experience stress-free for both you and your dog. Feel free to reach out with any questions — I’d love to meet you and your pup! I work in education so during the school year Monday-Friday I am free after about 4pm. I open on the weekends. During June-August I have a free schedule I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment whether I’m in your home or out on walks. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walking, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m experienced with medium to large dogs and comfortable handling different energy levels and personalities. I prioritize safety on walks by using secure leashing and staying aware of surroundings, and I always make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also very communicative and will send regular updates and photos so you feel confident while you’re away.

About: I’ve had my cat for 3 years, raising her from a playful kitten into a calm, well-behaved adult. This has given me hands-on experience with feeding, litter care, and keeping pets comfortable and happy. I specialize in caring for cats and calm adult dogs, providing a safe, crate-free, stress-free home. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive — making sure every pet feels loved while their owners are away. Special Skills: -Training and caring for kittens -Creating calm, low-stress environments Routine management: feeding, litter, and general care -Comfortable hosting calm adult dogs I currently have a flexible schedule and am available most days and times to provide attentive, stress-free care for both cats and calm adult dogs. Being between jobs allows me to focus fully on your pet’s needs, including feeding, litter care, companionship, and walks for dogs. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s routine. I provide a calm, safe environment for cats and calm adult dogs, whether in my home or at the client’s home. Pets are always supervised and cared for according to their routines. My home features a fenced yard, giving pets a safe outdoor space to explore. I also have a friendly, well-behaved cat, so I’m experienced in helping pets feel comfortable around other animals. I follow owners’ instructions closely for feeding, litter care, walks, and general routines to ensure pets feel secure and happy while in my care.

About: I always used to pet-sit for my parents. They were crazy pitbulls and American bullies, and kitties. So I’ve had my fair share of crazy doggos and cats! I haven’t officially started pet sitting for other animals til 2024, and it was occasional. But I write down everything I need to know and keep in contact each day with the owner, and I’m not afraid to ask questions if unsure of anything! :D I work part time at the moment, and I do live alone, so I’d give your pet/pets my undivided attention!! (I am lonely I need company lol) I am very mindful of the client’s home. While playing/caring for your pet, I will also make sure things don’t get messy in the process!

“Vitaliy is the most thoughtful pet caregiver we’ve ever worked with. He was able to come care for our kitties on short notice and we are very grateful. He was very thorough with their care, even with things we forgot to mention, and is excellent at communicating. Next time we need someone to take care of our cats, we hope he will be available because we had nothing but peace of mind knowing our kitties were being taken care of by Vitaliy.”

About: I’ve have taken care of pets before as I do have a dog myself and I have also looked over and cared for cats cause anytime family is away anytime I look over them. I’m currently in summer break from college and I been spending time with my dog and making sure he goes outside and I also have time to make appointments for him such as vet visits or showers. In my house we have a gate and we always the gate close so my dog doesn’t get out. I also have the a/c running most of the time so my dog could chill as summer is coming around the corner. I always make sure he has food and water.

“I was nervous about traveling, since it had been many years since we needed a pet sitter, but Christine made it easy. She stayed in contact and let us know when she had dropped by, and the cats got everything they needed. We'll definitely hire her again!”

“Paige was a great sitter for Penny while I was out of town for a few days. She followed instructions clearly and provided a set of update photos with each visit.”

Jacob M.

“Being a bit nervous about leaving my cats, I appreciated how quickly Yesenia responded and reassured me on how things were going. The kitties began to warm up to her which is good for next time I need a sitter. Thank you, Yesenia!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, dogs are a girl’s best friend! I love animals and I treat any dog as if they were my own. I’m very reliable and always available by phone. I work in office 4 days a week, remote one day a week. After work I am available for drop in visits and dog walking services. Saturday I also have availability for both services as well. I have a high fence around my home and large yard space. Both great for running around and getting the zoomies out. I live in the city so I am near great dog parks to take dogs to. For drop in visits, I follow the pet owner’s instructions as to how to care for their pets as they prefer.

“Reshunda was responsive and timely. My pet can be timid at times but Reshunda made sure had eyes on her and that she was safe before ending the visit.”

About: I have a huge animal-less hole in my heart to fill!! I always grew up with a dog and a cat in our home: a German shepherd, Jasmine, then a Welsh terrier, Rex, and kitties Madeline, and Isabel. While I mostly took on the play duties with the pets, I began my pet-sitting journey in elementary school watching my neighbors' cats when they were away and, eventually dogs and cats of my high school friends. Since starting my pet-sitting journey, I have done drop-in visits, dog walking, and house-sitting. I love spending time outdoors, whether at a park, on a walk, or in your backyard! It's important for me to provide gentle love to pets while also abiding by the training they follow. I have cared for up to two animals at a time which is what I feel most comfortable and confident in! I'm not afraid to pull up my sleeves and take care of sh*t (literally!) I loooove taking pictures and will always share pics with your little babies, maybe even a little photo shoot :) I am an entrepreneur growing a Pilates and Wellness business! I have the luxury to create my own schedule and make time for your babies! When visiting someone else's home, I have very high respect for the space I am in. I leave places I have been cleaner than I found them and take care of the home I am in. It’s important to me for your four legged friends to feel safe and comfortable as if you were there all along.

About: Hello there, tho my professional experience is low, I've have grown up with pets since I was young and walking my dogs has always been my favorite part of my responsibilities as a pet owner. I would love to have more experience as pet care taker on a professional level with all kinds of dogs in all shapes and sizes. Help me on my journey to becoming a better pet taker by entrusting me with your pet as we get plenty of fresh air and exercise. I am available early mornings to just before noon on week days Sunday through thrusday. Fridays I have more free time as well as Saturdays I live in a first floor apartment with fences all around, my neighbor upstairs has a dog but is really friendly and can get along with other dogs.

“Very friendly and gives prompt replies. Looking forward to booking him again next time we need a sitter!”

“Amanda was great! She was very flexible when scheduling a meet and greet for our cat, and also very flexible when I decided to change our dates a little bit last minute. She sent me pictures which I very much appreciated and I could tell our Lucy was in good hands! We’ll definitely be using Amanda again in the future for our kitty!”
