House Sitting Uptown

“Would give 10 stars if we could!! Gem did an amazing job connecting with our dog. She is very communicative, sent the cutest pictures of our baby, and clearly has a great love for pets. We’re so glad to have found her and will happily continue trusting her with our dog <3”

“Loved having Gail watch our dog! She gave us lots of communication and photos! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Gail! We hope to continue to use Gail in the future! Thank you so much for watching and taking such great care of our Theodore while we were out of town!!!!!!”

“Dylan was a lifesaver when we had another cancellation at the last minute. He was professional and great with our senior pup. We'd definitely work with him again.”

About: I’m an animal lover who understands that pets are family. I’ll treat your fur babies with patience, love, and care while making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m happy to follow their routines, provide plenty of attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away I work full-time as a registered nurse Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, and I have weekends off! I’m available for pet care on weekends and can coordinate weekday evening visits depending on my schedule. I’m happy to plan ahead to accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care. Communication is important to me, so I’ll always be upfront about my availability to ensure your fur baby gets the care they deserve! I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and loving care. I provide fresh water, safe toys, a tidy environment, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention for every pet!

“My pups fell in love with Joseph. He took great care of both dogs and sent photos and videos of them to me. I also appreciate having such peace of mind while I was away.”

“Sky was so so great! Amazing communication and so good with our pup. She sent plenty of updates but they almost didn’t feel needed because I could tell Zinnia was in good care. Thank you Sky!!”

“Carson was so communicative and great with my pets! He made sure the house was cleaned which was not even an expectation. He’s super friendly and highly recommend!”

“Drew is absolutely wonderful! We have used her services many times and couldn't be more pleased with the attentive care she consistently provides. Thank you!”

“Here is the final revised version connecting the medicine and weather sensitivity to the same dog: > Mason was an absolute star watching our two dogs for eight days! Since this was our first time working with him, he came over beforehand for a meet and greet to introduce himself and get to know the dogs, which immediately put us at ease. Communication throughout our trip was fantastic—he sent just the right amount of photos, videos, and check-ins to give us complete peace of mind without overwhelming us. He seamlessly handled giving medicine to our dog who is also very nervous around bad weather, showing so much patience and care by keeping her comfortable and still getting her out on walks despite her fears. When we returned, both dogs were relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. On top of that, he took wonderful care of our home and even watered our outdoor plants. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and would recommend him in a heartbeat!”

About: I have hands-on animal care experience from working at a doggy daycare, grooming, and boarding facility, volunteering at an animal shelter for two years, and fostering animals with my family. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away! I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits around my school schedule, Monday through Thursday. I have open availability outside of class and am happy to coordinate with pet owners to find times that work best for everyone! I prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort by following their usual routines, respecting their individual needs, and carefully following their owner’s instructions. I ensure pets are always supervised appropriately, keep them away from potential hazards, and make sure they have access to fresh water, food, and a safe environment. I also provide plenty of attention, patience, and love!

“So happy to have found Audrey! I was worried about leaving my 3, since 2 are older (14 & 10) and not used to change in their routines. After reading Audrey’s bio, I hoped she would be a good fit. She came to meet my crew before we finalized our plans for her to stay at my house with my 3 dogs and 2 sugar gliders , to make sure this was a good fit. I felt comfortable and confident that I had made a good choice. She asked lots of questions about routines, quirks, habits, etc to make sure she understood what my fluffy kids need. She also asked if there was anything she needed to know about the house, since she’d be staying here. While we were gone, Audrey kept me updated with texts, pics, and videos to reassure me that all was well. I will definitely be having Audrey take care of my gang next time we need to go somewhere!”

“Curtis was so friendly and communicative! My fur babies adored him and he was so kind and accommodating with my last minute scatterbrained travel plans. Seriously couldn’t have asked for a better pet and house sitter. Thanks again dude’!”

About: I grew up with pets and have had animals in the house for the majority of my life. My very first job was working at a veterinary clinic where I spent every day caring for and learning about animals. I've always loved animal behavior and understanding how our pets think. From dog walking, pet sitting, and even training, I am equipped to handle anything your pet may need including complex routines and behavior challenges. I am currently working part time, live alone, and have a simple daily routine that allows me to be available any time of day to care for your pet. I will make sure your pet gets the physical and mental exercise needed in a day while following any instructions you have. I am more than happy to help with dogs that have behavioral issues, reactivity, or need some training sessions as well.

“Tate was wonderful with our dogs! Charlie in particular can be anxious and a lot for people but Tate was great with her. They took great care of them and our house and communicated often. We will definitely use their services again!”

About: A pet sitter who has been around dogs my whole life! I grew up with many different pets including dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, birds and many types of fish. So I have plenty of experience with pets. And I am an established pet sitter with many of my friends and friends of friends in the city. I have experience with dogs who are reactive and pets who require medication. I currently only have a cat biscuit because of my small apartment. But I have been volunteering with PAWS for the last few months to get in dog time! Also my full time finance job is remote 4 days a week and 1 day in the west loop but I currently reside in Lakeview. Please let me know if you want to connect further. I work full time in finance and work remote 4 days with 1 day in office. I have quite a bit a flexibility in terms of breaks throughout the day. Also I only have one cat and no children, so I have room in my schedule for other responsibilities. I cannot have pets in my home at this time due to apartment restrictions. However, I am a trustworthy person who takes safety and comfortability of everyone at the top of my mind.

“Kelso house-and-dogsat for our 3 hounds for 4 nights and was a pleasure to work with. We got updates and photos, and we didn’t have to worry about things at all, which is exactly what we wanted! Will use them again.”

“Sophia was so good with my two dogs! I was gone on a longer trip and she took great care of them, sending me frequent pictures and updates. I will definitely book again!”

About: I grew up around dogs and have always had a love for caring for them. While I haven’t been able to have a dog of my own due to occasional travel for work and family, Rover has been the perfect way for me to stay connected to what I love most (caring for pets). I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising and training my family’s cockapoo in obedience and showing her at the county fair for several years. I’ve also dog sat for friends, family, and neighbors, including sweet senior dogs who need a little extra attention. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure each pup feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making their day a little brighter. ⭐️ Unfortunately, I’m only able to board and do doggy day care for low-shedding/hypoallergenic dogs due to allergies in the home. ⭐️ I work fully remote, which means I’m home and available throughout the day to give your furry friend lots of walks, attention, and the love they deserve! 🤗 I prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort by following their established routines. Whether in my home or the client’s home, I ensure pets are supervised and cared for how YOU request.

About: I'm a dog sitter with 10 years of expertise. Whether your pup is high energy and energetic or more calm, reserved and amicable, I'll make sure to keep them safe, happy and healthy while you're on your trip. I'm a young professional in Chicago, and am available most mornings and evenings for drop in visits to take care of your little guys. I'm also available for overnight stays as needed. I bring a friendly and pet-led experience to your home on my drop in visits. If your pet wants to play, we'll play! If they're more a lapdog or cat, we can hang out on the couch and have an awesome time. I'm clean, organized, and reliable- any messes your guys make will be cleaned right up, and I'm observant and communicative if an emergency were to occur!

“Audrey was an incredible sitter. She was so kind and patient and listened to all of our obsessive needs as first-timers having someone watch our dogs in our home. She was super responsive during the visit and sent tons of pictures! Our dogs were happy so we're happy :)”
