Pet Sitting in Stickney

“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!”

“Kimberly was so great and did such a great job of walking our 6 month beagle-puppy-she showed him who was the boss but is sweet, kind, and super responsible. I will definitely use Kimberly again she’s a superstar!”

About: Whenever someone needs their pets to be taken care of, I’m always the one they turn to first because they know I love animals and am very responsible as I have been caring for animals since I was 7. I’ve always loved dogs especially but where I lived at the time, since they didn’t allow them I cared for smaller pets such as rodents and they were able to live out to their expected lifespans. I’m not afraid of unusual pets or even aggressive animals, I always try to make them feel safe and befriend them as time goes on. I always believe in giving animals chances. I got a dog from someone who couldn’t care for him anymore and he’s been thriving with me. Learning how to use the bathroom outside and catching on to new tricks very easily. I try working with him everyday when it comes to his tricks but if not, we just spend time together, play, and go on walks. I’m really into training animals and I find it very rewarding. I also do grooming on my own animals that I currently have and past animals, I bathe them, cut their nails, and even cut their hair. I’m experienced in understanding dog body language and knowing when something is uncomfortable. I’m also knowledgeable in taking care of senior dogs and different methods of giving medication even to the sternest dogs! So I’m working part time at a pet store currently and am looking to get back into my services slowly but surely (you can read past reviews!) I don’t have set days where I’m scheduled to work, so whenever I can squeeze in some time with other pups I’d love the chance to! I genuinely miss the work I do and with being semi-disabled, I want to be able to make this my full time job again in the future. If I ever get back into pet sitting in my own home, it is very much gated all the way around. I would be keeping my eyes on the pups 24/7 and not leaving them alone so there would be no chance for them to get into some trouble. The fences are only about 4 feet tall so if I do watch larger dogs that are known for trying to get out, they will stay leashed at all times but still have freedom (I would have a long lead for them.) I would mostly be one on one with a dog if I am watching them in my home and not take on multiple dogs at once (at this moment.) If I am caring for a fur baby in a pet parents home, I would make sure I do everything by their instructions and under the schedule they have provided. I would let them know ahead of time if it doesn’t align with my schedule! I am a helicopter dog mom and have a camera for my pup, so if a pet parent has anything similar in their home it would not be an issue for me! Safety is always important and if that helps them keep their peace of mind that is fine!

About: I am a grad student in education and just moved to Chicago from Detroit, and sadly my lab and kitties had to stay in Michigan due to my living situation. I've taken care of my dogs, and cats my whole life. I love all animals, and have spent time in the state of Michigan being a dog walker for a small local dog walking business. I have house sat for a few different cats along the way as well. From small-large dogs i'm comfortable around them all! I can be available for the summer Monday-Sunday, Come august 26th, My availability will be MWF and saturday/sunday. Mornings-Evenings I can be available at anytime. I always make sure to see if the owners have any specfic instrutions first and foremost. I will always greet the dog/cat first in calm manner, have them sniff me, say hi, get used to me. Then we get ready for a walk, on walks I'm extremely aware on my surroundings and what could happen or not happen. Water bowls are always full, food at the time the owners said. I make sure to make friends with the animals, and their safety/comfort comes first and foremost. This all will go with cats as well! I tend to be more cautious with the cats so they know i'm there to take care of them.

Jeannine W.

“Grace is amazing! I always get anxious when I have to go out of town and leave my cat, but she eased my worries. She sent me daily pictures and updates of my kitty which made me so happy. You can trust her to take care of your furry loved ones.”

About: Hi! I'm a dedicated pet lover and current cat owner/former dog owner who understands that leaving your pet in someone else's care requires trust. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. As a cat owner, I'm experienced with daily feeding routines, playtime, litter box maintenance, and respecting each cat's unique personality and comfort level. I also grew up with dogs and have experience with walks, exercise, feeding, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I offer dog walking, cat drop-in visits, and house sitting services. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, your cat needs care and company at home, or you're looking for someone dependable to stay with your pets while you travel, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I'd want for my own pets. I know how important updates are when you're away, so you can expect regular communication, photos, and check-ins throughout my visits. I'm dependable, attentive to details, and committed to keeping your pet's routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and help give you peace of mind while you're away! As a part-time worker, I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care, with availability for mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires a high level of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. When caring for pets in a client's home, I am respectful of personal property, follow all household instructions carefully, and maintain a professional, reliable presence at every visit. I prioritize the safety and well-being of both pets and their homes by ensuring doors, gates, and windows are secure, keeping living areas tidy, and adhering to any specific care routines provided by the owner. I communicate clearly and consistently, providing updates, photos, and prompt responses so pet parents can feel confident and informed while they are away. My goal is to create a positive experience built on trust, dependability, and respect, giving owners peace of mind that their pets and homes are being cared for responsibly.

“Lauren was absolutely amazing watching my dogs for three days! From the moment we connected, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved on the entire time. She followed all instructions perfectly and treated them like her own. When I returned, everything was clean, organized, and my pups were calm and content — which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your fur babies, but Lauren exceeded every expectation. I would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care. Thank you, Lauren! 🐾💛”

About: I have always lived with dogs and love pet sitting for others! I aspire to be a veterinarian in the future because of my passion for animals. I interned at a vet clinic this past summer and gained valuable knowledge about pets and how to care for them. I have a very flexible schedule since I am currently home from college for the summer. I am available most days with a notice in advance. I have a fenced in yard and one dog at home. I will be able to walk and play with your dogs, as well as feed them if needed.

“Have booked Natalia twice so far and plan to rebook later this year! She is very communicative and kind, open to suggestions and truly cares for my cat :) so grateful for her as with my first booking my flight was canceled but Natalia was quick to propose additional drop in times! Thank you!!!”

Hamial I.

“Great communication, friendly and professional! Has experience with pitties, which is was a determining factor in our booking. Karen was very understanding and supportive of Diesel's needs.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and truly understand how different each one can be. I raised a dog from a puppy, cared for a senior rescue dog, and even had a rabbit—so I’ve learned to be patient, gentle, and attentive to different needs. I currently have a Doberman, so I’m also used to handling larger, high-energy dogs. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits really well into my routine right now. I’m back home for the summer, so my schedule is very open. I have time to give pets the attention they need—whether that’s walks, or check-ins. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so making space for them in my day feels natural and easy. When I do walks or check-ins at a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel safe, happy, and relaxed in their own space. I follow any care instructions closely—like feeding schedules, potty routines, or play preferences—and always give plenty of attention and affection. I treat their home with respect and make sure everything’s clean and secure before I leave.
