House Sitting University Park

“It was our first time getting a sitter to stay in our home and care for our 3 dogs for 2 days and Kathryn did not dissapoint. She was very attentive, sweet, patient, and understood all the directions on what to do for our 3 fur babies since they all have different eating habits and personalities. She made sure she texted me throughout her stay if she had any questions and sent us plenty of pics to keep us updated. She was very respectful of our home too. Her price is completely reasonable and I felt like the kids were in good hands with her. I would ask for her help again in the future and I definitely recommend.”

“Lisa is amazing! I’m so lucky to have found her. My dog is wearing a cone from a recent surgery so I was unable to leave her alone and Lisa came to the rescue. She is so kind and attentive. I have no worries at all, and my dog loves when Lisa watches her. Thanks again for another great stay!”

“Karen was wonderful with my dog while I was out of town for the weekend. My scheduled sitter had something come up last minute and I was lucky enough to find Karen available! I came home to a very happy and well-taken care of pup!”

About: I'm a lifelong beneficiary of the Cat Distribution System, a proud failed foster and a registered cat colony caretaker. I've cared for newborn kittens to 24-year-old seniors and everything in between. Dogs and I are also friends. I'm self-employed and make my own schedule, so I'm happy to work around your pet's needs. I'm flexible in terms of days, nights and weekends. My goal is to be the kind of sitter I appreciate for my own pets: reliable, responsive and open to animal shenanigans. I'll take care of your pets and your home as if they're mine.

“Tara is fabulous with my cat. I appreciated how much time and energy she spent playing with Jim Catsby. She sent me awesome photos and a video of their time together. Tara really cares about Jim, and leaving him happy. I’m grateful for her passion for pets and their care. She is motivated to give our pets the best experience possible.”

“Dolly had a fun, relaxing time in Khalia’s care. We’re so grateful Khalia was available to play and keep Dolly company while we visited family.”

“Grace was everything we needed and everything our dogs and cats needed! Two of my dogs need meds and they got those without any problem. They all ate for her (one is pretty timid but Grace found a way!). They even snuggled on the couch with her and slept next to her overnight! The house was spotless when we came home - she even took out the trash and brought the trashcans in from the curb! Her communication was great - gave me updates, photos, and even a couple of videos :-) If you have read this far, please do not hesitate to hire her!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and breeds, from a beloved Cocker Spaniel to two Giant Schnauzers and later a Pit Bull. Each one helped shape my love and understanding of animals and taught me how unique every pet’s personality can be. Today, I’m the proud owner of a French Bulldog who keeps me on my toes and a pet snake, giving me experience caring for both traditional and exotic pets. I’ve also spent time around cats through friends and family and am comfortable caring for feline companions as well. While attending Ball State University, I volunteered at local animal shelters, helping care for animals and supporting their daily needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or senior, I understand the importance of providing patience, attention, and loving care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine, as I currently care for my own pets and understand the importance of consistency, attention, and reliability. I work as a State Farm agent in Chicago’s West Loop, and because it is a family-owned business that my family manages and operates daily, I have some flexibility within my schedule when needed. During the week, I am available for pet care before work, after work, and during my lunch break. Depending on the day and my workload, I may also have additional flexibility to accommodate specific care needs. On weekends, I typically have more availability and can provide extra time and attention for walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, and companionship. I am careful not to overbook myself because I believe every pet deserves quality care and attention. When I accept a booking, you can trust that I have the time and availability to provide dependable, attentive care and ensure your pet remains safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. At this time, I’m unable to offer boarding services in my home due to my own pets. However, I am happy to provide a variety of other services, including drop-in visits, dog walking, overnight stays, and personalized in-home pet care. My goal is to ensure your pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment while receiving the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. Whether your pet needs playtime, feeding, medication administration, exercise, or simply a reassuring presence while you’re away, I am committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to their needs.

“We had a great experience with Marisol! She was very responsive, accepted our booking on short notice, and took wonderful care of our puppy in our home. She was respectful of our house, left everything neat and clean, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, Finley seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!”

“Thank you for caring for Baby. It gave me such a peace of mind while I was away. Thank you so much for the toy for baby, that was such a kind gesture! Would hire again”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Brit! She took amazing care of our senior lab and our two cats while we were away, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Our older dog can need a little extra care, and Brit handled everything with patience and compassion. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a house just as we left it. Highly recommend Brit to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

“Brandon was very diligent about keeping me posted throughout his house sitting assignment, including providing me with photos as well as how my dog was doing. I will reach out to him first going forward whenever I have a need for sitting my dog.”

Frank M.

“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!”

“Hi Rob, is a good person and a lifesaver. He came over and Housesat for me in an emergency with only 3hrs notice when I had a last minute cancellation. I would recommend him again to watch my pets anytime”

“Jorie was an amazing sitter !! I received detailed updates every day while I was gone and she did a fantastic job following my senior dogs medicine and feeding routine. I will definitely be booking again 😊”

About: I’m fortunate to have experience with a wide variety of animals thanks to my cousins, who have two cats, three dogs, a turtle, and a horse. I help care for their pets regularly, so I’m comfortable meeting the unique needs of animals of all kinds and treating each one like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m currently finishing up breast cancer treatment and have intentionally chosen pet sitting as my primary work. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and being able to provide reliable, loving care while I’m in this season of life has been incredibly rewarding. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. At my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard for supervised play, exercise, and potty breaks, along with plenty of attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other care instructions. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

About: Dogs are my favorite animal! Why? Because they are loyal, caring, fun and you already know this because you own one! :) I have a shepherd mix who I love dearly. I used to volunteer at West suburban humane society, and have dealt with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I feel comfortable around dogs and have lots of experience. I treat them like a member of the family. I love all animals, so if you have cats rabbits etc I will not be bothered. I have been around dogs since childhood and working with dogs is a dream of mine. If your dog needs medicine I have experience with that as well. I am extra gentle with senior dogs and can keep up with puppies I have a flexible schedule so I can work with your schedule. We can discuss your pets needs so I can accommodate your schedule easily. I follow owner instructions precisely and ask questions if anything seems unclear. Pet safety is always my number one priority. If I think a pet may not be safe for anyone I always reach out to the owner.
