Shani (and her kiddos☺️) LOVED on my pup while I was away. Shani was an excellent communicator and sent update photos and videos, too. I really appreciated such good communication and how well Lady was taken care of. When you see your dog smiling in the update photos, you know it’s real. I’ll be looking to book Shani for my next trip away.

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.

Iman is so lovely! I am a new dog mom of a 2 yr old husky that I adopted from the South Suburban Humane Society. I was nervous about leaving my dog as it was my first time leaving her with a sitter and I didn’t know how she’d react staying overnight with other dogs. Iman reassured me that everything would be fine and gave me updates. She even gave me samples of dog treats, that my KoKo loved. I’ll definitely use her services again.

Exceptional communication from Sandy, with lots of updates and pics. But most importantly our needy dog got lots of TLC. Definitely will book with her again. Highly recommend. A++.

So, i began searching the internet and found Beverly, she lives less than 5 mins from us and truly was a God send. I will definitely be booking Beverly for all our future travels. P.S.

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 ✨

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!

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. I’m home full-time, so your pet will get plenty of attention, care, and company throughout the day. Whether it’s regular walks, play breaks, or just being nearby for comfort, I’m available and fully present. My flexible schedule makes it easy to accommodate your pet’s routine—early mornings, midday walks, or evening check-ins included. I live right off 93rd & Pleasant in North Beverly, with a huge yard where your dog can safely play, explore, and chase a ball (or two). It’s a secure, peaceful space that’s perfect for outdoor time. I’m also just steps away from the Dan Ryan Forest Preserve—ideal for nature walks full of fresh air, trails, and plenty of exciting things to sniff. Whether your pup needs adventure or a calm environment, I’ve got it covered. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priority. I follow all care instructions, never leave pets unattended outside, and send regular updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

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.

We ABSOLUTELY love Courtney and her family! When we first started looking for a dog sitter, we were super nervous. Courtney and her family but as so at ease during our pups stay. He's become like a part of their family, as Courtney and her family has become ours. Rover, Courtney is THE BEST! New pup owners, if you're looking for someone honest, trustworthy, caring and more, don't wait! Book Courtney now! I promise you will not regret it.

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: 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!

About: I have always cared for the cats of my neighbors in Chicago, let alone other cats. Since my young adult years, I always have had cats and have been learning how to care for them from personal experience, reading online, and visiting vets as well as volunteering at shelters in Chicago over the years or supporting fundraisers! I am available nowadays to care for your pet at my home for a short period of time. Or I could visit your home! I am aware of territory adjustments and super careful about health issues. I have experience working with children and understand how important it is to supervise and engage with pets all the time! Also, it is important to pay attention to them in terms of health and behavior and provide a healthy routine of meals and clean litter boxes, among other things.

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: 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: 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.

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!!

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.

Teddy is our 150lb Bullmastiff and EK and her family welcomed him like the rest of the tiny tots that are looked after daily. She is trustworthy and reliable. We hadn't been on a real vacation in 2yrs we had no issues or worries while gone.

Sandy is absolutely the best. We were in a pinch to find someone to watch our dog Brutus and a bit nervous having to leave him with someone he wasn't familiar with, but he had a great time. Exceptional communication from Sandy, with lots of updates and pics. But most importantly our needy dog got lots of TLC. Definitely will book with her again. Highly recommend. A++.

Ania is amazing! She’s checked in with pix and videos daily. My pup came home so happy and content. I’ll definitely be checking her schedule the next time I need a sitter. 10/10 ☺️

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!!

Timothy was a wonderful sitter ! He shared updates and photos regularly and gave my dog extra food because I didn’t pack enough. He was also very gracious to let me extend my booking on short notice due to travel delays. Highly recommend Timothy and hope we can book with him again !

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.
