“Dwight was fantastic. I have a very adorable but very playful puppy and he took great care of her. While I was on vacation he kept me updated at my request and sent pictures. Absolutely would recommend and plan to re-book Dwight in the future! Thank you again for your kindness and hospital with my furry BFF.”
“Shani responded quickly to take a last minute long term booking. She was very communicative & hands on with Malcolm. Felt very comfortable leaving my baby while out of the country.”
“Janet is phenomenal! The MOST caring and kind dog mom and sitter! She is very patient with my 7 month puppy while he is developing his manners. She provides a lovely home and environment for my pup, who runs to the door whenever he is going to stay with Janet. She is simply the best!”
“Sandy is a very kind and patient lady. My boy has a lot of anxiety and can be very bad. She was very understanding of his fear and issues. Sandy loves pets and she takes good care of them.”
“Dominique was AB-SO-LUTE-LY Fabulous!!! She treated my babies like her very own (even calling them by their "cutesy" baby names when she scratched them under their cheeks and behind the ears). She created a safe, loving and clean space for them... allowing them to thrive. Truth be told, I'm kind of jealous that they "took to her" so quickly and didn't miss me more (our first time separated in 11 years). Knowing Dominique was taking such great care of them, made the stressful time I was going through easier to manage. My babies came back, calm,well feldand clean!!! 👍 I will definitely seek out Ms. Dominique again for any and all future pet needs.”
“Tonisa was wonderful! She answered all of my questions regarding my pups stay. She made me feel very comfortable and well informed with pics and messages from the beginning all the way to the end. Tonisa & her daughter were amazing!”
“E has a lovely home and yard well-suited to caring for dogs. E kept us updated on Kodi's status throughout our vacation, setting our minds at ease. Thanks!”
“Tanisha and Darrius are the best doggie boarding team! Tanisha administered my Snuggles medicine and even got her to take the one she can be stubborn about. This was my first time leaving my pup for days at time for vacation. I was so nervous but she kept checking in and giving me updates that made me feel comfortable so I could enjoy my birthday trip with no worries! I highly Recommend them, Snuggles came home happy and healthy! It makes a difference when they love fur babies as much as you. Thank you so much Tanisha and Darrius!”
“I honestly cannot say enough good things about her. From the moment I met her, she was so warm, kind, and welcoming. She kept me updated the entire time with pictures and messages which gave me so much peace of mind while Prince was with her. She went above and beyond in the most thoughtful ways. She even made a little report card for him which was the sweetest touch ever. It’s clear she truly cares and treats the dogs like her own. Prince was so loved and well taken care of. I would trust her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone genuinely kind, attentive, and amazing with dogs.”
“Nemo took to Kathleen right away. She kept him busy with walking and playing with her children. She is a dog lover! He is as in good hands. Sent several pics too. Would definitely ask her to sit again.”
“Iman made me feel comfortable while away for 7 days. I received videos and pictures and my Jax looked really happy while he stayed with her. I intend to book her again.”
“Kamiah and Casius were great sitters for Bailey. For me, it was a very last minute booking and Kamiah was incredibly accommodating to make it work. She was also very quick to contact us on the first day when Bailey wasn't eating (but everything was fine, as this is how Bailey always is at a new place), and Bailey looked very happy in the photos and videos we got each day. Also, Kamiah's pick-up and drop-off were prompt and efficient. I definitely plan to use them again!”
“OMG she was wonderful. Her space was nice and clean she checked in everyday with me I was running late she assured me it was ok my dog went on play dates and much more. I would definitely be using her every time.”
“My Gizelle walked right into Victoria's place inspecting every corner before Victoria could give her a proper greeting! Gizelle was very comfortable and tool to Victoria who sent photos throughout the days I was gone. Somehow Victoria got Gizelle to use a pee pad and play with a toy. Things she never does at home. I am grateful for Victoria's care. Thank you!”
“Ra'eesa was so good to our pup. I felt like she treated him as her own and I loved that! Provided videos and pictures the entire stay, which made me feel so comfortable being that its my kids and I first pup. After the stay I told Ra'eesa Snowy will be back anytime we need a sitter ? Thanks you!”
“Megan did a wonderful job with my Lukey. When unexpected medical needs arose, she was still willing to watch him. She did an excellent job with giving him his daily medication and caring for his special needs. She sent multiple pictures throughout the day on all the many walks he went on. Megan is a kind and thoughtful sitter and I would highly recommend booking her!!”
“Ania watched our dog Elliot for a weekend. During this time she was communicative and provided us with lots of pictures! He got comfortable fast with her and came back to us a happy dog!”

“She plays with our cats every time and cleans up as well without us asking! She’s very reliable and we enjoy our cats being comfortable with her while we are gone.”
“Anyah spent three days looking after our very shy cats and she took their standoffish nature in stride. She was communicative, organized, friendly, and punctual. Most importantly, she helped us out when we really needed a reliable pet sitter, and was unbelievable accommodating of our cats’ many quirks. We will absolutely be calling her first from now on.”
“Beverly did a fantastic job taking care of our cat! She was attentive with pictures and messages on each visit. She even double checked with us about the cat's food routine to be sure she was giving him enough. Lovely experience with a lovely person!!!”

“Mia was incredible with my cat Stormie! We were able to quickly schedule a meet and greet for her to meet Stormie and I could already tell she genuinely cared. She asked questions about feeding, whether Stormie likes to sleep in the bed, daily routine, and took notes when I explained some food changes due to Stormie's sensitive stomach. It is VERY clear she does truly love and care for animals. We had Mia watch Stormie for the weekend and came back to the apartment being clean, litterboxes were empty and freshly cleaned, etc. Mia sent regular updates as well with photos and videos of Stormie so I knew that everything was going smoothly. She also sent messages regularly about how they were playing with toys, how Stormie was doing, etc. I 100% will book with Mia again as I truly never felt more comfortable with someone watching my baby before now.”
About: Along with being a dog mom, I’m also a cat mom. I’ve had cats ever since I was eight years old, and I think most kitties like me. I am currently a cat mom to a three-year-old Maine coon mix, Tater Tot. I’m good at petting them, feeding them, and I can also administer thyroid medication. I also come prepared with cat toys.
“Very happy with Daniela as a pet/house sitter while we were overseas for 2-weeks. We don’t speak a common language, but my pets don’t speak English or Spanish either, so I wasn’t gonna let a language barrier be the sole reason to not hire someone. We used an audio translator app during the meet & greet, and most apps/ txt auto translate. I did provide an emergency contact of a bi-lingual friend. Thankfully we didn’t need to involve her. At the meet & greet, we practice giving my anxious cat’s oral tablet medication with dry kibble, and she was pretty good at it within a couple tries. Reassured me she would be able to administer when we’re gone. She sent regular photos/updates of our pets which always makes us happy and comfortable while traveling. We even had some HVAC issues while we were away, and Daniela was a trooper the whole time. Twice she helped coordinate a technician coming to the house since we couldn’t be there. She left the house very clean, trash taken out, bed made. Brought all our mail in. Watered the few plants we asked. Etc. I hope she’s available next time we travel. Thank you!”
“Alexa was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos. It was my first time hiring a sitter and my cat is very timid and shy and Alexa was very patient and supportive of my cat’s needs and earned her trust. Would definitely hire Alexa again.”
About: I offer drop-in visits only for cats who are most comfortable in their own home. I follow your instructions to the letter; feeding, litter scooping, clean water, gentle, e pay, and a quiet, respectful presence.
“Courtney was amazing with my cat. I was worried because this was my first time leaving him with someone besides my family, but she made me feel comfortable after chatting with her. She kept me updated with messages, videos & photo of him playing with her cat and herself. I will Definitely use her again soon!”
“Our kitty had a great time with Manon 😸. She was very nice to him and made sure he was comfortable when we were away. She was responsible and communicated clearly with us when needed. Thanks Manon!”
“Jennifer did a superb job taking care of my kitty Mira while I was traveling! I am grateful to have found such a wonderful and reliable cat sitter. Very highly recommended!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—dogs, cats, and everything in between. What sets me apart is that I truly get pets. I know how to read their body language, meet their emotional needs, and create a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and happy. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, from high-energy pups to slow-moving seniors. I’m patient with leash training, gentle with nervous animals, and happy to give medication if needed. If your pet has a routine, I’ll stick to it like clockwork. If they just need company and love, I’m all in. To me, this isn’t just a job—it’s about caring for your pet like they’re family.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, including active and strong working breeds. I focus on creating a safe, structured, and stress-free environment while making sure every dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, crate routines, basic obedience reinforcement, and handling energetic dogs with patience and consistency. Pet parents can expect dependable communication, regular updates, and someone who genuinely treats their dogs like family. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine come first. A typical day includes structured walks, playtime, exercise, water breaks, feeding according to your instructions, and plenty of attention. I keep a calm and clean environment while making sure each dog gets the right balance of activity and rest based on their personality and needs. I’m especially comfortable with active and strong breeds, so dogs that need confidence, structure, and engagement are in good hands. Whether your pet needs a relaxed companion, exercise, or consistent care while you’re away, I aim to make the experience stress-free for both you and your dog. You’ll receive updates, photos, and quick responses throughout the stay so you always know how your dog is doing.
About: Kyle and Ben have been caring for dogs in our home for over fifteen years. We have experience administering medications, whether they be topical, ingested or intravenous. Our goal is to make sure you know your dog is safe and well cared for while you're out of town. We are very quick to respond to all phone calls, text messages and emails and will keep you posted with photos and updates on how your dog is doing while they are staying with us. We also provide flexible pick up and drop off hours for your convenience and can provide transportation if necessary. Kyle has several years of experience working in the pet care industry, starting with shelter work, moving onto a dog daycare/boarding facility and managing of two different dog and cat supply stores (one local, one corporate) in the last fifteen years. She is certified in dog and cat first aid and CPR by the American Red Cross and has experience administering topical, oral and intravenous medications. She has extensive experience handling senior and disabled animals, as well as dogs with behavioral issues. We have always loved dogs and owned dogs throughout our respective childhoods, but Kyle has gotten more hands on experience in the last fifteen years by dabbling in different fields of animal care. She worked as a kennel attendant at the local SPCA for a period of time, caring for homeless dogs, cats and rabbits. It was there that she learned proper care techniques and how to administer medications. She took these skills with her when she went to work first as a kennel attendant and then as the office manager of a small dog daycare and boarding facility. She spent the next seven years serving as store manager of two different natural dog and cat supply stores, where she helped pet owners provide their animals with healthy natural foods, treats and other supplies. She also organized many in store events to help highlight and raise funds for many local rescues and shelters. In 2020, Kyle completed school to become a dog groomer and has been grooming dogs in Hyde Park for the last several years. Both Kyle and Ben work mainly from home, or not far from home. Kyle works as a dog groomer and is able to bring your dog to work with her during the day to minimize any time your dog may spend without human supervision. We never allow anyone off leash on walks, and we do not utilize off leash dog parks for safety reasons. All of our pets are fully vaccinated. Feeding times are always supervised to prevent any potential food aggression. Toys and chews are put away when human supervision is unavailable to prevent resource guarding.
About: I give animals good eye contact, effective tone, pay attention to their physical capabilities, and show love, respect, and observe surroundings for danger while walking I am normally home early mornings and during the day. Some days I work events as an artist but I have a very flexible schedule. I make sure the floors are clear so that animals are free to roam. I don’t keep chemicals or certain plants out that would harm animals.

About: After loving and caring for my dog of 12 years, Fuzzy Wuzzy, I decided to take up dog care/dog walking to care for other pets who need it. I worked for a Professional Company, ‘Canine Care,’ for a year, and it was one of the best experiences of my life! I work with barking, lunging, curious, drooly, happy, jumpy dogs all day, and I won’t have a problem with however your dog is! I look forward to meeting and having a great, safe, time with them. I am available pretty much most days for house sitting and walking. I text back very quickly so just ask and I’ll let you know right away! I have a fenced in back yard, no pets in the house and if you’re comfortable pets are allowed on the furniture. For walking, I have 6 foot and 10 foot leashes, and my neighborhood is on the quieter side if you’re dog is sensitive to noise. Let me know if you have any other questions I’m happy to answer.
About: I have worked with animals in various roles throughout the years, from working in a doggy daycare, to volunteering and fostering with various rescue organizations (OTAT, RWAR). I am experienced in senior pet care, administering medication, and some obedience training. I have a soft spot for brachycephalic breeds, and I owned and raised a Boston Terrier rescue dog for 12 years (RIP Batman 2009-2023). I currently own a mellow and submissive lab/husky mix, Henry, and a Maine Coon/Domestic Medium Hair cat, Tater Tot. Both get along with other animals. I am currently not working a full time “normal” job, so I have plenty of time to walk and babysit your furry friends. I am available for on-demand walks in the city limits of Chicago and south suburbs. For North and Northwest Suburbs, I can be flexible with enou I own a historic Victorian row home; it is 3 stories plus a basement and 2600 sq ft. My home is in the heart of the Historic Pullman District, on National Park Service land. My neighborhood is VERY safe, and my home is also down the street from the 005 District Police Station. My home has plenty of room to spare for your fur children. Not only that, I also have a 6 ft fully fenced yard. There is a dog park 3 blocks from my home, and I am in close proximity to several Forest Preserves. If baths are requested, bath lovers can enjoy baths in a jacuzzi tub, and bath tolerators will be bathed in a walk in shower with a double rainfall showerhead, and a handheld shower head for the hard to reach spots. I can offer pickup and dropoff for those without a car or time to spare, and dogs will be transported in a seatbelt for safety.

Looking forward to meeting your loving doggie or kitty, I give good rubs and cuddles if you have a high energy and affectionate pet. I like going for walks and will be sure to incorporate play into our journeys. I spend my free time traveling and researching naturopathy and ancient knowledge. I have a deep respect for all life forms and would provide excellent care for your furry family members. I am good with dogs of all sizes and many other types of animals. Furry friends are fun and make life worth living. I work from home so I am able to dedicate time to the care of a boarded pet and provide plenty of attention as well I have a fenced yard and a friendly chihuahua who loves to make new friends. I enjoy long walks and being attentive to the pet I am caring for.
About: I have experience with dogs with anxiety who use medication, needy/clingy dogs, and dogs with disabilities. I am extremely thorough and patient in case something goes wrong with them and I maintain a calm demeanor at all times. When it comes to instructions, please provide a brief, detailed description of your pet's daily routine and I'll follow it to the letter. I'm currently a graduate student at CSU; summers are a slow period for me. I am more than willing to babysit pets for as many nights, walks, feeding times as needed. During school time I will do walks, feeding visits and the occasional overnight weekend stay. I am committed to your pet's comfort level and will adapt to their schedule to the best of my ability. I will spoil them rotten because I absolutely love all dogs and cats of all shapes and mannerisms. Even if they hate me. If I am confused about anything regarding your pet's behavior, such as licking paws, over-grooming, an increase in urination, I will let you know about it as soon as I see it. I also LOVE talking to the pets so I will have full-on conversations with them. I'm especially good with repeat visits so if you are interested in having a one-time sitter for the next few years, I'm MORE than willing to take up that responsibility. Familiarity is very important with pets and as mentioned before, I am focused on the pet's comfort.

About: My name is Tonisa and I love my furry friends. I have 2yo Labradoodle so she will be in the home as well. I enjoy the smiles dogs have, but only dog lovers would notice those. I have experience with diabetic dogs (if I need to give them insulin I do charge extra for that service $5 per day). Other than that I have a big fenced yard for them to play in. They will go on a morning walk and 2 evening walks. I know how I was when I would go out of town so I’m more than happy to send photos and FaceTime while I have your pup. (Pls bathe my new buddies before drop off) See you soon :) I work from home. So for most part I will be with them. If I leave out it’s never too long. Ava will be in the home with them so they won’t be alone/bored. I care for you pup like they are my Ava Bear. They are able to rome around in the same common areas that Ava is aloud. Because I have my own fur baby I am full time pet owner which requires me to take her out, feed and walk her. Your baby will just fit right into our daily schedule I have a fenced yard. If your dog is a jumper please let me know. I allow the dogs the run freely in the back yard. If it’s too hot, unfortunately I do not let them play outside long. Once the sun goes down I then let them stay out longer. The dogs are typical fed breakfast and dinner with snacks in between. Please bring snacks (I don’t want to cause any discomfort while in my care).
About: I’ve Taken care of and trained over dozens of animals in over 6 years. I was an assistant pet trainer/groomer at a dog kennel. And volunteer for several animal shelters. I love taking care of animals of all kind, but specifically cats and dogs! I’m currently working part time remotely, so I’ll have a lot of time to make sure you pet is loved and cared for! I have a cat of my own and I always make sure she’s happy and healthy! I like to take walks 2-3 times a day so I don’t mind making sure your fur baby has had plenty of potty breaks. I live in a gated community with a fence separating me from my neighbors. I also have a huge backyard and plenty of space to keep your animals active and happy. I also love taking walks and having outside time. They deserve to have fun and enjoy their day too!
About: As a previous dog owner and sitter of nearly a decade, I have a very strong skill set when it comes to catering to your unique pup's needs! I am keen on carefully following the instructions left by dog owners while also using my own sensible judgement to make the best decisions for each pet. I can't wait to meet both you and your pup! I am a full-time CMU student, so I'm available to care for your pet(s) predominately on the weekends and all semester breaks during the school year, but anytime during the summer! I live in an apartment that doesn't allow dogs unfortunately. However, I do live within 3-5 minutes away from several parks, including Mellon Park, The Walled Garden, and Baum Grove Park.
About: I love animals and working for pets would be so amazing as they are very close to my heart. I have done 2 cat sitting jobs and helped take care of a friend dog. I love taking care of cats, including my cat Simba right here. In my spare time I also help volunteer at the Tree House Cat Shelter and rescue some cats to take to my local no kill shelter. I also help support the Ian Somerhalder Foundation where we care for the animals and the environment. Even though I am in college right now my schedule is very flexible. Also, I do travel on public transportation. For more info and resumes please contact me. I hope to hear from you real soon for sitting jobs.
“Jasmine walked my two dogs while I was out of town for a weekend. She did an excellent job. My dogs were happy and showed no signs of stress. She stayed in contact with me by text and photos. I will definitely use Jasmine again to take care of my dogs.”

I travel a lot so I am also willing to check in if I am in the area throughout the day! I generally send daily updates and keep open communication if any issues occur. Will also communicate if I feel there needs to be further accommodations based on general pet wellbeing.

“Shani responded quickly to take a last minute long term booking. She was very communicative & hands on with Malcolm. Felt very comfortable leaving my baby while out of the country.”

About: Hi! I’m Quirtina, a lifelong dog lover and dog mom to Biggie, my sweet 5-year-old Cockapoo. I grew up with two dogs, and Biggie is my second personal dog, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup in someone else’s care. I also regularly dog sit for friends, and I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m active and love long walks around Hyde Park, so I’m happy to help with exercise, playtime, cuddles, and keeping your dog’s routine consistent. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and administering medications. I’ll pay close attention to your instructions and your dog’s personality, and I’m always glad to send updates and photos for peace of mind. I’m a full time MBA student, so I have plenty of time to care for your pup! I am home most of the time during the day and evening. I live in a secured gated home, with a gated area for quick bathroom breaks outside of regular walks. Your pup will be in safe hands!
“Dominique was AB-SO-LUTE-LY Fabulous!!! She treated my babies like her very own (even calling them by their "cutesy" baby names when she scratched them under their cheeks and behind the ears). She created a safe, loving and clean space for them... allowing them to thrive. Truth be told, I'm kind of jealous that they "took to her" so quickly and didn't miss me more (our first time separated in 11 years). Knowing Dominique was taking such great care of them, made the stressful time I was going through easier to manage. My babies came back, calm,well feldand clean!!! 👍 I will definitely seek out Ms. Dominique again for any and all future pet needs.”
“Tonisa was wonderful! She answered all of my questions regarding my pups stay. She made me feel very comfortable and well informed with pics and messages from the beginning all the way to the end. Tonisa & her daughter were amazing!”
“E has a lovely home and yard well-suited to caring for dogs. E kept us updated on Kodi's status throughout our vacation, setting our minds at ease. Thanks!”
“I honestly cannot say enough good things about her. From the moment I met her, she was so warm, kind, and welcoming. She kept me updated the entire time with pictures and messages which gave me so much peace of mind while Prince was with her. She went above and beyond in the most thoughtful ways. She even made a little report card for him which was the sweetest touch ever. It’s clear she truly cares and treats the dogs like her own. Prince was so loved and well taken care of. I would trust her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone genuinely kind, attentive, and amazing with dogs.”
About: I’ve cared for my sweet girl for about 10 years now. She’s changed over the years from a newly adopted young shelter dog to a senior dog and I’ve consistently modified how I care for her to meet her needs. I have boarded many family dogs too from tiny multi poms to larger sweet pits. I really feel at home with animals and treat every dog with patience and care like my own girl. I work from home, live across the street from a big park, and can offer plenty of walks, attention, and playtime. Please be sure to share If you’re dog requires supplements, medication, special feeding schedules/protocols, behavioral things I should be mindful of. I work from home Monday thru Friday. Typically up with my dog by 6. She gets a long walk in the am and after work. Plenty of walks in between work for potty breaks. Each day can look different though based on weather and overall energy level of your dog. I can adjust your dogs needs when it comes to feeding schedule, affection, attention, and stimulation. I vary my techniques based on your dog’s personality and what they need when it comes to affection, space and activity level. I am flexible!
“Nemo took to Kathleen right away. She kept him busy with walking and playing with her children. She is a dog lover! He is as in good hands. Sent several pics too. Would definitely ask her to sit again.”
“It’s so cute to see my Chaseypoo interact with Amia and Joshua, the kids and their pups. They adore her and she comes home happy and tired and ready for a nap.”
“My Gizelle walked right into Victoria's place inspecting every corner before Victoria could give her a proper greeting! Gizelle was very comfortable and tool to Victoria who sent photos throughout the days I was gone. Somehow Victoria got Gizelle to use a pee pad and play with a toy. Things she never does at home. I am grateful for Victoria's care. Thank you!”
“After a quick move to out of state move to Chicago with a vacation already planned, we had to scramble to find somewhere for our dogs go. Our dogs stayed with Ashley for a full week and it was such a relief to know they were well taken care of. We received frequent pictures and updates during the week. One of our dogs is having a hard time adjusting to city life and Ashley was very accommodating and gracious with her. We will definitely be reaching out to Ashley again in the future!”
“Manuel was an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Swoosh, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he provided. From the moment we connected, Manuel was responsive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. Throughout the stay, he sent me regular updates and adorable photos of Swoosh, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Swoosh looked so happy and relaxed in every picture—it was clear he was being treated like part of the family. I’m so grateful for the love and attention Manuel gave to my pup. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with him again. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Tamara is a very responsive and accommodating Rover. Her care for dogs is evident in the way she interacts with them. I will use her services again and recommend her to anyone looking.”
“Megan did a wonderful job with my Lukey. When unexpected medical needs arose, she was still willing to watch him. She did an excellent job with giving him his daily medication and caring for his special needs. She sent multiple pictures throughout the day on all the many walks he went on. Megan is a kind and thoughtful sitter and I would highly recommend booking her!!”
“Ania watched our dog Elliot for a weekend. During this time she was communicative and provided us with lots of pictures! He got comfortable fast with her and came back to us a happy dog!”
