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: Hello!! My name is Julia I’m 23 and I love animals. Ever since I was little I’ve always had a special interest in nature and animas especially cats! One of my favorite childhood memories is rescuing feral kittens in my neighborhood and finding homes for them. In my teens years I started dog and cat sitting for friends and family and ever cared for horses and rabbits in my high schools FFA. As of now I’m a painter and artist with a lot of time on my hands and would love to spend some quality time with your pets! When staying with a pet I like to follow a schedule for potty and feeding times since familiar routines can calm pets that might be anxious around new people :)

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs of varying ages and have always enjoyed it immensely. I no longer have a dog of my own but I would love to make friends with yours. I am working 3 days per week (not a set schedule) and have enough time to spend with some lovely dogs. My schedule changes week to week but I am quite flexible and hopeful we can find a good agreement for dog sitting/walking. My apartment is clean and spacious and perfect for a small/medium dog to stay at and play. I do not own a crate but also would prefer if your dog is properly trained and can tolerate being in open space.

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!

Cassie is absolutely amazing! She was super knowledgeable about caring for large dogs and my pup Enzo (80+ lbs) loved her instantly. He can be a bit anxious so having someone that reassured me, was very attentive, and provided lots of updates is super valuable. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker!
