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.

My boy seemed happy in every photo. She took great care to keep me updated before and after every walk. She even cleaned him up after an accident. I would definitely book with her again!

About: I love caring for pets so I figure what better way to express that than by putting my skills to use through this app. I’m here to make your day less stressful! I’m home full time and I have a pretty flexible schedule so whenever you need me I’ll most likely be available. I’m calm, active and fun so your dog is truly in good hands with me. I’ve been dog sitting for the past two years now and I’ve learned the importance of being sensitive to the dogs needs. I’ve also learned the importance of being consistent with the owner’s original rules for their dog. No need to ruin all the hard work that you’ve put in to train them properly. See you soon!

About: I have lifelong experience caring for pets. I lived near lots of farms in Mississippi, and helped care for the animals. I truly enjoy learning more about them! I am a recent college graduate seeking extra cash. I have a very flexible schedule. I am willing to work around your schedule! Ideally would want to avoid high daily commute times/travel expenses, so would love to discuss a schedule that creates ample time with your fur babies! (Prices subject to change based on cost of travel). check ins a total of 4.5 hours per day. Morning, evening, and night open to sleeping overnight for house sitting requests. I travel a lot so I am also willing to check in if I am in the area throughout the day! I generally send daily updates and keep open communication if any issues occur. Will also communicate if I feel there needs to be further accommodations based on general pet wellbeing.

About: I have been a pet owner for over 20 years, so caring for animals has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have helped raise, train, exercise, and comfort dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I was also a cat owner for over a decade, which gave me experience with pets who have very different personalities, routines, and comfort levels. My family has been pet sitting for nearly 10 years, and I helped with a lot of that care over the years. Through that, I learned how important it is to be reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. Now that I am on my own, I am excited to start offering pet care myself and to provide pets with the same kind of safe, loving care I would want for my own animals. I am a teacher, but I am currently on summer break, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I have plenty of availability during the day, evenings, and weekends, while still being dependable and consistent with the care I provide. I am able to work around each pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. In my home, pets will have a safe, clean, and comfortable space to relax and feel cared for. I live in a large 3-bedroom apartment with secure doors that create natural barriers throughout the apartment, which makes it easy to separate spaces when needed or help a pet feel more comfortable. There are no other pets in the home, so your pet will receive my full attention without having to adjust to unfamiliar animals. One of the best parts of my home is the fully fenced-in backyard. There is plenty of space for dogs to run around, play, use the bathroom, or just stretch their legs safely. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, water, comfort, and supervision based on each pet’s normal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow the owner’s instructions closely so the pet can stay on their usual schedule. I know how important consistency is, so I pay attention to feeding times, walks, medication instructions, favorite toys, comfort needs, and any house rules. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they are in my home or their own. Please note, I only sit pets from 1 household at a time - that way your pet(s) get all of my attention!

If not for Erin moving away we would not let her go :) Erin has been walking Harry every week for several months and Harry knows and looks forward to the days where he gets to see her! We appreciate her consistent care and patience with Harry, who is a sweetheart but can be reactive, and Erin has always handled him wonderfully. And I so appreciate the sweet notes and model shots Erin sends each walk! 100/10 rating!
