“Alexis took wonderful care of Cooper while I was away! She kept me updated with photos and videos throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Cooper was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When I returned, my apartment was just as neat and clean as I had left it, which I really appreciated. Alexis was reliable, communicative, and treated both Cooper and my home with great care. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and I would gladly book with her again!”

About: I’ve always been the one my family goes to train our pets ever since we got our first dog; and it’s been my favorite job ever since! I love learning about different breeds but most importantly how to speak their language. From puppies to elderly cats, I’m happy to care for your fur babies. I’m a recent Masters student at UChicago and have full availability! From mornings to overnight stays, I’m happy to be there for a walk or drop in. My own pups thrive on routine but it’s understandable if yours enjoy that nonchalant schedule. I do think play time, mental stimulation, and a local sniffari is the best way for a good nights sleep. On our walks, I’ll try to make the most of our time together by seeing what environments they feel most safe in.

“Karen is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! She took care of our cats while we were away for about 2 weeks. Our cats are elderly and are not the easiest to deal with, Karen was attentive to their special needs and just went out of her way to ensure they were comfortable and well taken care of. I would highly recommend her for your pet care needs. We travel often and will use her again and again”

About: I have been around and cared for dogs for years through family, friends, and everyday life. I’ve been trusted to feed them, take them outside, go on walks, play with them, check in throughout the day, and give them plenty of attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I enjoy taking the time to make them feel safe and comfortable. My schedule is flexible, which gives me availability in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on the day and what you need. I’m available throughout the week and on select weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. I know how important it is to trust someone coming into your home and caring for your pet. I always respect your space, follow the routine and instructions you provide, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, or simply keeping them company, I want them to feel cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures 🤗so you can stay up-to-date with your pet.

She came on time and my pup loved her, I’m pretty sure when I got back my puppy was more bummed she was leaving than she was happy that I came home ? I highly suggest using emily I most certainly will again”

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, mostly hounds but lots of experience with all breeds! I am more than happy to work with dogs of any age and have experience with caring for high needs and senior dogs. i am no stranger to a mess and have no problem cleaning up any type of accident. i love all dogs but my heart really goes out to the big pups out there <3. i am quite comfortable with working with dogs that have behavioral/agression issues, given i am properly informed and prepared. i have a fairly open schedule most of the time. i work freelance contractually from time to time, but i am always available to take a break and come see your fur baby. i am returning part time to school in the fall, but that should not interfere with care timings I am very comfortable with dog procedural things. I have experience walking many sizes of dogs, as well as crating and proper and safe playtime. i believe that dogs tell us a lot more than some people let on, so as of course i will follow your guidance in care, i also want to listen to your dogs attitude and communication as well

She took exceptional care of my anxious dog, Balu, and we were so relieved to come home to a relaxed, happy dog. Claire kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She stayed in our home and left everything spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if she’s available.”

About: I Love animals. Especially dogs and cats. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all kind. Your pet will be staying in my home, so they will have the whole house to themselves. I take extra long walks to the park and the beach often. You will never find anyone more invested in your best friend. Every hour of every day is dedicated to caring for your best friend. I am very active. I go to the gym 5 days a week. Working with dogs and cats gives me what we need in order to stay fit and mental stable. I will have your doggies tired at the end of the day!! The doggies and kitties have the entire house to their self. I have a big home with 4 floors. I also have a large yard that is fenced in and totally secure. No one gets in or out unless I decide to.

I love having new energy around me at all times :) I have a very safe apartment complex with an enclosed backyard. Lots of toys for them as well to make them feel comfortable! I’m attentive and a very good listener to all of their needs

Tabbie was amazing with Major! She was very sweet, thoughtful, attentive, and took great care of him while I was away. I really appreciated the detailed updates and summary she provided, and it gave me peace of mind knowing Major was in good hands. She followed all of my instructions, spent quality time with him, and made sure everything was taken care of. I’m very thankful for the care she showed Major and would definitely book with her again in the future. Highly recommend!

Alexis was amazing! She stayed at our place for 2.5 weeks and took care of our senior baby Nina who needed medication and lots of love while I visited my family back in Brasil. She was extremely communicative and would give us so many pictures of Nina throughout the day. She’s a true gem and I would absolutely recommend her to everyone.

Julia is amazing. She's taken our older dog on walks and she's housesat for us when we were out of town for more than a week. Our dog was so calm and happy when we came home from our trip-- it was clear that Julia made him feel so comfortable. And our house was just as we had left it. Julia meets our dog just where he is: when she saw that he didn't want to go far on walks anymore, she went at his pace and just stayed with him, showing more care and patience than we're often able to bring ourselves. She is a gentle and caring soul and we feel so lucky to have had her help!

We went out of town for 10 days and Zoe took care of our two whippets, Sammy and Bleu. We got updates and pictures each day, and know they got at least two long walks daily (they have Fi collars, so we can see their daily steps). Zoe also took great care of our home and left it cleaner than when she arrived! I could not recommend her enough!

Dominique was friendly and a great sitter for my girl Millie! I was only gone for a couple days but she still sent updates throughout the weekend, letting me know what they got up to together and how Millie was doing with her meals and potty time. I appreciated her communication and flexibility as she balanced Millie’s routine with her own dog’s needs. Thank you Dominique!

Emily was an excellent dog sitter and I would hire her again. She was communicative and sent updates throughout the day which gave me great peace of mind. I never had to reach out and ask how my dog was doing because she proactively kept me informed. She was also accommodating with my dog’s feeding routine and mindful of his reactivity to bikes/scooters which I really appreciate. When I returned home everything was exactly as I had left it. I highly recommend Emily.
