Highly-rated overnight sitters - Chatham
“Shani was the best choice for our fur baby! I was worried about leaving our baby, Stone, for so long, but Shani made me feel comfortable. She sent me pictures and communicated with me continuously throughout the stay. I could see Stone opening up and enjoying himself. I’m so grateful for her loving care and warmth. Shani is definitely like extended family now, and Stone won’t be staying anywhere else. If you care about your fur baby and want them to be well-loved, book with Shani.”
“Tonisa was great with our puppy, Dante. She kept in constant communication and put us completely at ease. It’s clear that she cares for the pets you leave with her and that makes you comfortable knowing your little one is just fine while you’re away”
“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!”
“I cannot express enough how thrilled I am with Bola’s exceptional care of my furry friend! From the moment we met, it was clear that Bola has a genuine love and passion for animals. Throughout the time Bola cared for my dog, I received regular updates, including photos and detailed messages about their activities and wellbeing. This consistent communication was incredibly reassuring. I knew my pet was not just being looked after but truly cared for. I wholeheartedly recommend Bola to anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. We have booked Bola on many occasions and will continue to utilize her services when needed. Thank you Bola, for providing such outstanding care for Layla!”
“Janet was the best! I was nervous to leave my dog behind, but she eased my fears. She sent me pictures every day and her dogs welcomed my dog into their pack right away. He was sad to come home! I couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful sitter. We’ll definitely be repeat customers! Thank you, Janet!”
“Mercedes was the best boarding experience that we've had. Top tier experience! Mercedes routinely sent pictures, updates, and communications. Her and her family spoiled our fur baby! Our fur baby came home with a personalized bag of goodies including homemade treats. We will definitely use her again!”
“Love this woman! I found her after our usual sitter left Rover. I was at ease upon meeting her. Her home is lovely and conducive to providing a welcoming and trusting environment. My dog had a blast and made some new buds. Very happy!”
“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.”
“Thank you again Kayla for having my Lady girl for the weekend! Kayla does a great job caring for my pup and keeping me in the loop on how she is doing. I never have to worry about Lady being in good hands.”
“Cassandra took great care of my dog Ace during his 4-day stay. I can tell he had a good time hanging out with her dog, Chewy. Cassandra was a pleasure to work with and I hope to use her services again for future boarding.”
“Victoria watched my Charlie while I took my trip. She always keep me aware of how Charlie is doing with plenty pictures. She has watched Charlie before and I love how she takes care of him!”
“I am very particular about who I let be around my fur babies so finding Dominique was heaven sent! She’s amazing and does well with handling both of my pits who I know have tons of energy! I appreciate her a lot!”
“Tanisha was great! She provided daily updates along with pictures. I felt very comfortable leaving my little one with her. I would definitely recommend.”
“Manuel is the best. He’s looked after my little corgi Kit twice now and has done an excellent job. I can’t recommend him enough! Your pup will always be in good hands with Manuel. Thanks so much!!”
“It was our first time boarding Koda, so we were a little nervous about how he would handle it. Megan made the entire experience incredibly comforting and seamless. She kept us updated throughout the day, responded quickly, and truly put our minds at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Kendra was so lovely and patient with my dog Maximus. Max has severe separation anxiety, and she showed him so much love and compassion. I could tell right away how much she loves animals and she's very patient and understanding and I fully put my trust in her to watch him again. Thank you so much Kendra!”
“Dwight has watched my pup on multiple occasions. She’s always excited to see him & she comes home happy. It’s great to know that she’s in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Chelsea was phenomenal!! 5 out of 5 stars doesn’t even begin to cover it. So easy to communicate with, we received more pictures then we knew what to do with, and she was consistently taking the dogs on walks, to the beach, and out for treats. Couldn’t be more thankful. If we are ever in Chicago again we will be using her services!!”
“Tiffany was responsive. I inquired for a booking the day before I needed someone and she responded within minutes and accepted the booking. She's super personable and easy to talk to. My dog immediately took to her...great energy and THE dog whisperer :) If I need dog sitting in the future Tiffany will be who I think of first. Thanks again!!”

Cat caregivers near you - Chatham
About: I know that cats are independent but still require consistent, attentive care, patience, and a calm presence. I am comfortable with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, fresh water changes, playtime, enrichment, and most importantly, respecting each cat’s individual comfort level—whether they are social and playful or prefer space and quiet companionship. In addition to general experience, I have many friends who own cats, and I’ve cared for their pets while they’ve been out of town for a week or longer. During those times, I handled daily feeding, litter box cleaning, check-ins, and playtime, making sure each cat remained comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. These experiences have made me very comfortable around cats and confident in reading their behavior and adjusting my care style accordingly. While I’ve never personally owned a cat yet, I’ve spent a lot of time around them and have grown very comfortable caring for them independently. I am actually looking forward to owning one in the near future to complete my little pet family, and I genuinely enjoy building trust with cats at their own pace.
“Toni is awesome! We were so at ease while traveling, knowing that our two cats were in great hands. Toni left thorough and thoughtful reports and took lots of pictures for us. We look forward to using Rover again and hope that Toni is available to watch them in the future.”
“Above and beyond, as always. I've used them several times and it's always great. My elderly cat needs a lot of special care and regular assisted trips to the bathroom. But Jayden always does amazing and I came home to a clean house and not one accident to clean up (my cat often has accidents even when I am watching her personally so it would have been understandable). The best part are the very detailed updates on what Jayden has done for my kitty, as well as pictures AND video. It's hard to be away from home but they make it so easy and reassuring. 10000000 out of 10 stars.”
About: I've had a cat myself for 13 years, been a sitter for my neighbor's cat for the past year, and volunteered at Off The Rocks Cat Rescue Shelter for 4 years when I was in college :) Thus, I have extensive experience following detailed instructions to care for cats with the utmost care and responsibility. My cat is also diabetic and I do insulin injections for him, so I am prepared for any special accommodations in caring for your cats!
“Coretta is a fabulous cat sitter! I felt so comfortable and confident leaving my kitties in her care. Her communication is excellent and she has a lovely warm presence. I will definitely be rebooking! Thanks for everything Coretta!”
“SO amazing!!!! Gionna is so friendly and such a pleasure to work with. Not only did she take care of everything we needed for our kitty while we were gone but she went above and beyond to accommodate our kitty’s initial shyness and with Gionna’s patience and knowledge of cats, she was able to get her to come out and play/cuddle too!!! Gionna is so great and really helped us to be able to relax and trust our beloved pet was well taken care of while we were gone. Thank you so SO much again for being so awesome Gionna!!!!!!”

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for cats and understand that every cat has their own personality. Whether your cat loves to play or prefers quiet company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for.

My goal is to make your cat feel relaxed and cared for until you’re back home.
“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!!!”
“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!”
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.
“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.”
“Kendyll worked really hard to win over our skiddish dog. He is very afraid of new people, and she was patient with him and worked with him to get him to trust her. Really appreciated having her with him!”
“Dominique went above and beyond while caring for Scally. It was not as easy because of some major hiccups, but Dominique was absolutely willing to do whatever necessary to provide excellent care for Scally. I would absolutely ask her back to care for Scally. Anyone would be lucky to hire her to care for their pets.”
“Robyn was absolutely great!! The meet and greet went smooth and she got along with my pup very well. I felt very comfortable from our conversation that this would work out great! Robyn responds quickly and provides updates during her check ins. I didn’t even have to ask for photos or how well my pup stayed within her routine! Siri is an older gal who takes meds from time to time, and Robyn let me know how much experience she had working with senior babies and administering medicine. I will 1000% look forward to booking with Robyn again ✨”
“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!”

We traveled from the DC area to Chicago to visit the new Obama Presidential Library and Center and wanted to ensure she would be in good hands for the several hours we were away.

About: What sets me apart is how seriously I take the trust you're placing in me. I understand that pets are family and leaving them in someone else's care can be difficult. That's why I approach every pet with patience, empathy, and genuine care. I take the time to learn their unique personality (energetic, shy, or just needs a little extra attention), routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and have the flexibility to give them the attention they deserve. With an open schedule, I can easily adapt to your pet's routine, whether that means morning walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I know that being away from their owner can be an adjustment for some pets, so I do my best to create a calm, loving, and familiar environment where they feel safe and comfortable. My goal is for your pet to feel cared for and happy, and for you to have peace of mind knowing they're in compassionate and dependable hands. When caring for pets during drop-in visits and dog walks, I make it a priority to maintain the routine they're familiar with, so they feel comfortable and at ease. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to understand their needs, whether that's a fun walk, playtime, mealtime, or some extra attention and affection. My goal is to provide thoughtful, reliable care that keeps your pet happy while giving you confidence that they're in good hands.
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.
About: I've had pets since I was 9. From 9 till now I've had cats, dogs, fishes, and guinea pigs. I have experience with dealing with pets that may have previously trauma issues also with pets that may need careful care like medince or special needs. Even pets that don't need extra care just pets that wants to have long walks or need a lot of play time . Pet care is an important part of my routine, and I make sure I have dedicated time each day to give every pet the attention and care they deserve. I plan my schedule around my bookings so I can be reliable, on time, and fully present for walks, feedings, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I believe consistency is important for pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine and provide dependable, loving care. I provide a safe, clean, and caring environment for every pet. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any medications if needed. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs and energy level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, keep the home clean, follow all care instructions carefully, and send regular photo and text updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, secure, and loved while their family is away.

About: I’ve had my dog Ace (Cane Corso/Lab mx) for 4 years. Although my family has been fortunate enough to take care of him together, I understand the struggle of finding someone who will care properly for your pet as you do. Pets are our chosen family, and I will ensure your pet is properly cared for.

“Manuela did a great job! My dog Ella really enjoyed walking with her. Manuela is punctual, reliable. My dog doesn't trust people easily but with Manuela, it was easy. Amazing! Thank you so much. ?”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, and make it my priority to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or sticking to your pet’s routine, I’ll provide the same care and attention I’d want for my own pets. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with different personalities and energy levels. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is in good hands. As a Division I student-athlete, I have basketball practice Monday through Thursday until around 1:30 p.m., which makes me available for afternoon, evening, and overnight pet care during the week. My weekends are completely open, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care. I enjoy staying active, so whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply needs companionship, I’ll make sure they receive the same love and attention I give my own pets back home. Since I currently live in a dorm, I’m unable to provide pet care in my own home. However, I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment. I treat every home with the utmost respect by keeping it clean, organized, and exactly as I found it. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, make sure they feel safe and comfortable, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing both your pet and your home are in good hands.

About: I’m the go-to sitter + walker if you ask my regulars. For the past four years I’ve had experience with all breeds from dachshunds to Bernese, and all types of personalities. I also have skills in potty training puppies and leash training. I work part time over the weekends, so I am available all day Tuesday-Thursday, and can stop for check ins every 3-4 hours Friday through Monday. I check in multiple times a day catering to your pets’ usual schedule, along with overnight stays if you prefer. I spend at least an hour a day playing with your pups to make sure they get their energy used up.
About: I have been a pet owner for over 20 years, so caring for animals has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have helped raise, train, exercise, and comfort dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I was also a cat owner for over a decade, which gave me experience with pets who have very different personalities, routines, and comfort levels. My family has been pet sitting for nearly 10 years, and I helped with a lot of that care over the years. Through that, I learned how important it is to be reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. Now that I am on my own, I am excited to start offering pet care myself and to provide pets with the same kind of safe, loving care I would want for my own animals. I am a teacher, but I am currently on summer break, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I have plenty of availability during the day, evenings, and weekends, while still being dependable and consistent with the care I provide. I am able to work around each pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. In my home, pets will have a safe, clean, and comfortable space to relax and feel cared for. I live in a large 3-bedroom apartment with secure doors that create natural barriers throughout the apartment, which makes it easy to separate spaces when needed or help a pet feel more comfortable. There are no other pets in the home, so your pet will receive my full attention without having to adjust to unfamiliar animals. One of the best parts of my home is the fully fenced-in backyard. There is plenty of space for dogs to run around, play, use the bathroom, or just stretch their legs safely. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, water, comfort, and supervision based on each pet’s normal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow the owner’s instructions closely so the pet can stay on their usual schedule. I know how important consistency is, so I pay attention to feeding times, walks, medication instructions, favorite toys, comfort needs, and any house rules. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they are in my home or their own. Please note, I only sit pets from 1 household at a time - that way your pet(s) get all of my attention!
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 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: Hi there! I'm Tynetta, your neighborhood work-from-home pet auntie. 🐾 I work remotely during the day, which means your furry family member gets plenty of company, potty breaks, playtime, and belly rubs instead of being left alone for hours. Whether your pet is a professional napper, an energetic explorer, or simply wants someone nearby while they snooze, I'm happy to match their pace. Outside of pet sitting, I work in public health and spend my days helping people build healthier communities. Friends would describe me as calm, dependable, and ridiculously organized. Pets seem to appreciate that too. I'm happy to send regular photo updates (expect lots of candid "living their best life" moments), follow your pet's routine closely, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. A few fun facts about me: • I work from home, so your pet gets lots of companionship throughout the day. • I'm an early riser and love getting outside for walks. • I'm patient with shy pets and enthusiastic enough for the zoomie crowd. • I'm the kind of person who will absolutely learn your dog's favorite toy, your cat's preferred napping spot, and all the little quirks that make them who they are. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. My goal is simple: when you come home, your pet is happy, relaxed, and maybe just a little disappointed that their vacation with me is over. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work from home most days. That means I'm around to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy having a furry coworker keeping me company while I work! I also like starting and ending my day with walks, so caring for pets blends seamlessly into my schedule without leaving them alone for long stretches. I believe pets are happiest when their routines stay as consistent as possible. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions, and any special preferences you share. I'll keep their space clean, make sure they have fresh water, lots of affection (if they enjoy it!), and I'll send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing they're doing well. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
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: I have had dogs for about 20 years. I love all animals and I treat them like they’re family. Play time is the best time with animals but naps are always great too. Making sure they have all they need is my top priority. I am also great with cats too! Making sure animals have their proper food and medicine (if applicable). An adundant amount of play time and showing them that I care is very important to me! I love dogs like no other and I couldn’t see life without them.! I have been watching after animals since I was about 5 years old. I’ve grown up with animals in my home, therefore I see no better way to describe them other than Family! I currently live have an open schedule and am able to help pet families on a more consistent basis. I would love to incorporate caring for your pet in my daily routine, I.e walks, feedings, etc! In my clients homes, I will abide by safety and respectful rules. If they have a fenced in yard, I will allow the animal to roam freely or take the pet on a walk around the neighborhood. I do not have a yard in my home, therefore, animals will only go on walks around my neighborhood. I am on the search for a dog part near by that I would drive the pet to!
About: Ive taken care of animals since i was 13 yrs old. I have rescued many animals & found them great homes. I love all animals. I am currently a part time fitness trainer. So i am available for you & your furry friends after 1pm. Im always available for you & your furry friends! I have a tall fence. I have one Dog & three cats to keep your furry friends active & a great spirit to feed their souls.

“Shani was the best choice for our fur baby! I was worried about leaving our baby, Stone, for so long, but Shani made me feel comfortable. She sent me pictures and communicated with me continuously throughout the stay. I could see Stone opening up and enjoying himself. I’m so grateful for her loving care and warmth. Shani is definitely like extended family now, and Stone won’t be staying anywhere else. If you care about your fur baby and want them to be well-loved, book with Shani.”
“Tonisa was great with our puppy, Dante. She kept in constant communication and put us completely at ease. It’s clear that she cares for the pets you leave with her and that makes you comfortable knowing your little one is just fine while you’re away”
“I cannot express enough how thrilled I am with Bola’s exceptional care of my furry friend! From the moment we met, it was clear that Bola has a genuine love and passion for animals. Throughout the time Bola cared for my dog, I received regular updates, including photos and detailed messages about their activities and wellbeing. This consistent communication was incredibly reassuring. I knew my pet was not just being looked after but truly cared for. I wholeheartedly recommend Bola to anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. We have booked Bola on many occasions and will continue to utilize her services when needed. Thank you Bola, for providing such outstanding care for Layla!”
“Mercedes was the best boarding experience that we've had. Top tier experience! Mercedes routinely sent pictures, updates, and communications. Her and her family spoiled our fur baby! Our fur baby came home with a personalized bag of goodies including homemade treats. We will definitely use her again!”

She kept us updated throughout the day, responded quickly, and truly put our minds at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Chelsea was phenomenal!! 5 out of 5 stars doesn’t even begin to cover it. So easy to communicate with, we received more pictures then we knew what to do with, and she was consistently taking the dogs on walks, to the beach, and out for treats. Couldn’t be more thankful. If we are ever in Chicago again we will be using her services!!”
“Bridget was amazing with our dog, Miller. Miller has separation anxiety and can be a hit or miss with sitters, but he warmed up to Bridget and her family right away. Great communication and felt extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend to let your dog stay with her family and pup of her own who is both adorable and friendly.”

“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.”
