Can’t wait for our next stay!”
“I have two small 8-year-old dogs. They spent 10 days with Bola. Bola was great, she clearly puts her heart into this job. She sent pictures every two or three days. The living room has a clean wooden floor. The small fenced grassy yard is perfect for small dogs to run and sniff around. Bola even delivered the dogs to my home at the end of their stay (a 15-minute drive). I warmly recommend her service.”
“Liz and her family were so good to Tyson. He loved staying there, and they really welcomed him into their family.

There were no stress signals or behaviors from my dog and she was right back into her routine at home. Thank you for taking such great care of Macci!! Will definitely use again”

I really appreciated the time and effort Chelsea put into caring for my babies, especially during the holiday time. Thank you!”

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: What sets me aside from other sitters is the love i have for animals. Since i was a little girl I've always loved being around animals they were and still are very therapeutic to me. I've had big dogs from Pitbull's, Dobermann, American bullies, all the way down to tiny dogs; yorkies, shitzu etc. even different kinds of cats you name it. As I've gotten older I've gained sooo much experience to the point I've had at home births with my dogs and cats all by myself; even home training my own animals as well. My goal here is to gain a work related reputation where i can truly start doing what i love and make a name for myself until i can become that super Veterinarian I've always dreamed of being. So far all i have is personal experience with dealing with animals at home and at my job(My residents animals). This would truly mean a lot if i can show off my skills and how genuine i am with animals and even people. Pet Care currently fits for me during the week days. I work doubles every Saturday and Sunday; whereas for school i do online Vet courses which is self pace. Which means i am free during the week Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm if communicated at least at least 30min-1hr in advanced i could stay later if needed. Although, I am a mother which means i can not do any services past 7pm nor any over night services. I also am located downtown Chicago but I am willing to travel!! One thing about me i will spoil your baby(s) haha; I am very hands on and affectionate with animals unless they require space lol. I have never been a crate animal person BUT i know every household is different and every animal requires different training. Again, animals bring a lot of joy to my heart; very therapeutic for me and if given the chance you wouldn't be disappointed i promise!.
“E did absolutely amazing when it came to our dog (Jackson) being comfortable, fed and of course loved! She did an absolutely amazing job keeping in touch with us as well. if we are ever back in the neighborhood, we will definitely be getting a hold of E to take care of our puppy!!!”

“Gabriel was an excellent dog sitter for Walnut. He was attentive, patient, and very professional throughout the entire experience. He communicated clearly, provided updates, and always confirmed details, which gave me great peace of mind. Walnut seemed very happy and comfortable with him, and it was clear he genuinely enjoyed spending time with Gabriel. I truly felt that Walnut was in good hands.

“Timothy is our puppy’s favorite sitter (and ours too!). It’s clear he really understands and empathizes with dogs of all ages and sizes. We’ve had multiple stays at Timothy’s place, and every time our dog comes home happy, well-cared for and occasionally having made new dog friends!

We’re grateful to have found him, highly recommend!”
“Talla was such a sweetheart. She took great care of Wilbur and made sure to update me regarding his activities and medications. She was available last minute and was very responsive and communicative!”
About: Hi! My name is Monica and I recently graduated from Indiana University. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I was in college, I fostered through local animal shelters, which gave me experience caring for animals with all different personalities, ages, and needs. I’m also currently a volunteer at the Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago, where I help care for animals and support the shelter. I work from home, so I’m able to give pets a lot of attention throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone for long. My dad is also recently retired and home most of the time, so there’s always someone around to give extra attention, playtime, and care. I have a small Yorkie named Tucker and a cat named Penny. They’re both very friendly and used to being around other animals. Tucker is great at matching other dogs’ energy (whether they want to play or relax), and Penny is very calm and tends to mind her own business. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away! I recently graduated from Indiana University and am now back home in Chicago full-time. My dad is retired and home all day, and I spend most of my time at home too, so your pet will always have company and attention. I’m not super busy and genuinely love being around animals — it’s the perfect setup! I have a private, fully fenced yard and never let pets outside without supervision. My home is spacious, and pets are welcome to relax anywhere they’d like. I also have a 2-year-old, 4.5-pound Yorkie who mostly keeps to himself but is always up for a little playtime if your pet wants a buddy! I’m happy to crate your dog at night if you prefer, or they’re welcome to sleep with me — I’d love that too!
“Omg! Hua is AWESOME!! From the moment she took the lead from me I knew My fur baby was in great hands! Her constant communication and real human contact with hugs and playing games made me so happy I chose her! Thank you so much and I know Padi enjoyed himself! If you need a sitter look no further!!!!”
“Ashley and her daughter Marina are incredibly conscientious and caring. Every time I bring my dog to their place, he is excited to run up the stairs and be reunited with his extended family. He truly loves them, and I can see how much they love him as well. 10/10, would recommend Ashley’s services to anyone!”
“Anni is so amazing!! She watches our puppy when my boyfriend is traveling and I have to be in office and she sends so many updates and our puppy Sally loves seeing her every time.”
“Amy provided exceptional care for Maeve during her time at daycare. Maeve had an amazing time playing with her new friend Frank, and Amy treated her with the same warmth and attention as if she were her own. I highly recommend Amy and look forward to booking with her again!”
About: Looking for a dog sitter with a passion for pups and years of experience? I’ve not only been a dog mom for 14 years, but recently assisting in training the now 6 month old puppy that’s in my parent’s care. I’m the #1 dog sitter amongst my network, not only because I work from home and have availability, but because I also include their fur babies in my dog’s activities as well i.e. dog park dates, dog birthday parties, and doggie brunch! I’m a full- time remote employee with a very relaxed work schedule. Your pet will be spending the majority of their time in my care. I have a fenced front yard and a patio along with one 22lbs dog that will keep your pet company. I also have a lot of space to allow the dog to move around as they would like.
“Ashley was great with Kash! She loved him and he loved her! She constantly sent updates and photos of my little guy having fun. Your pup is in good hands in Ashley’s care!”
“Jiayi was amazing! Her communication and care exceeded my expectations and she was willing to accept my little one for day care last minute! My pup loved her and she was so good with his potty/feed schedule as well. Definitely booking with her again in the future.”
About: I genuinely treat every dog like my best friend. Full of the upmost love, care, and fun. Your pup isn’t just a pet, they’re family! As a college student with online classes, I love spending my free time with dogs. I have two beautiful huskies of my own back home, so caring for new pups brings me joy every day. I provide personalized care for every pet, whether in my home or yours. I feed, walk, and play with dogs according to their routine, give plenty of love and attention, and make sure they’re safe and comfortable at all times. I also many send updates, photos, and videos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, growing up in a home with several dogs and gaining hands-on experience caring for them from a young age. Over the years, I’ve become very comfortable with all aspects of pet care, including administering daily medications and following specific routines to keep pets healthy and stress-free. I’m especially attentive to each animal’s unique needs my own pup, for example, has sensitivities, so I understand how important it is to monitor diet, behavior, and environment closely. In addition to dogs, I also have experience with a variety of animals, as my mom rehabilitated exotic wildlife while I was growing up. That background taught me patience, adaptability, and how to properly care for animals that require extra attention. What sets me apart is how much I prioritize each pet’s health and quality of life. I personally walk my own dog four times a day and bring that same level of care, attention, and routine to every dog I work with. I pride myself on being reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely loving toward every pet I care for, and I specialize in working with puppies. I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive to your dog throughout the day. This setup is ideal for pets who need consistent companionship, frequent potty breaks, or a little extra reassurance while you’re away. Whether your dog thrives on attention, has separation anxiety, or simply enjoys having someone nearby, I’m able to provide a calm, supervised environment with plenty of interaction and care. I live in a secure apartment on the third floor with easy ground-level access for quick and convenient potty breaks. My building also offers a dedicated outdoor dog area on the 17th floor, providing a safe and clean space for additional exercise and fresh air. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort in my home, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have for your pet’s care. To keep you fully at ease, I provide daily, detailed updates with photos so you always know how your dog is doing.
“Bola came through for me last minute and took great care of Bea!! She sent me picture updates and communicated well throughout the day. Will definitely be booking again with her.”

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.
“Anastasiia is so sweet with my little Wags and sends very detailed information on their walks, I would recommend her to anyone! So glad to have someone I trust walk my little guy twice a week!”
“Jozelin took Leo on morning walks while I was out of town for a few days. She followed my instructions, was respectful of the space, & was able to handle my Leo. Will book again!! Tyyy”
About: While I do not currently share my life with a dog of my own (it's a matter of being unable to adopt every dog I lay my eyes on!), I dearly love helping pet parents keep their dogs happy and healthy and preferably in their own homes while their owners are away. I love to travel,and love to spend time with as many dogs as I can possibly fit into my day. You can often find me chatting with others about their animals, and I am always interested in hearing about every little detail. I enjoy helping people get a greater understanding regarding the welfare of their animals, and sometimes bore my friends with random and obscure dog breeds, and what I know of their temperament and behavior. I'm proud to say I try to research as many breeds as I can so that I know what to expect, and hey, it's always fun to just know why and how a breed came into existence! I happen to also be studying veterinary technology, for the knowledge of nutrition and behavior, since surgery is more information than I want. :D I am also very happy to drop by or stay with your cats, and am quite used to the varying personalities of these small creatures: the ones who like to play hide and seek, the aloof, the playful, and the grumpy. I don't mind at all, as long as the cat is comfortable, eating, and using their litter box, all is well! I can work my day around your dog or cat, as I am a dedicated sitter, and much prefer to spend my time enjoying the company of cats and dogs as much as I can. I much prefer to stay with the dog or cat in their own home, as having their familiar surroundings help them remain peaceful, happy, and comfortable.
“I couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care Chauntrell gave my pup while I was away! From the moment we connected, he was communicative, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. He sent daily updates, photos, and even little notes about how my dog was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. Chauntrell was so patient and gentle with him it didn’t take long before he was completely comfortable and excited for their walks. He treated my pup like he was their own, and that means the world to me. I highly recommend Chauntrell to anyone looking for someone dependable, loving, and professional. I will absolutely be booking with him again in the future! Thank you again for everything my friend! 🐾❤️”
“Mariam has been a great dog walker for our senior dog Hannah- she is attentive, observant, caring and a great communicator. She goes above and beyond by giving our cats some attention as well and picks up on small details with our dog who is on medication which brings us such peace of mind.”
“Lillian has been great with my dogs and very communicative throughout the walks. She took the time to make sure they were comfortable, shared updates and photos, and went above and beyond with their care. I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to work with my schedule, especially while I was out of town. I felt confident knowing my dogs were in good hands, and I would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.”
“Consistent, punctual, communicative, and generous. She shows up everyday in a timely manner, cares for my dog, and even gives complementary baths and cleaning if she makes a mess. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 🤗 she offers a good range of services as well!!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, and I love them more than anything! Doesn't matter if they're small dogs, big dogs, or anything in between. I've cared for my elderly dog with a torn ACL, and I've helped train a few puppies at this point. My experience with dogs is wide, and I'm happy to help with your dogs no matter their age, size, or needs! My schedule is pretty flexible. My availability depends on the day, which is why I require 5 days in advance for booking. The good news is that this means I can be free in the morning, or in the evening, depending on the day. I'm happy to let you know where you and your animals fit into my schedule! Although my current home does not allow pets, I have many years of experience caring for my dogs and cats back home in Wisconsin. I always made sure they had comfortable places to rest, plenty of toys, and regular exercise or playtime to keep them happy and active. I keep spaces pet-safe by storing food out of reach and making sure pets cannot get into anything they shouldn’t. I believe every pet deserves plenty of love and attention, and I always make time to give them both. Safety is very important to me, so I always double-check that any food or treats are safe for dogs and cats.
“Kaia had a great time with Annie today; brief walk and some cuddle time. She also sent great photos and even brought in our package from the lobby. Thank you! Looking forward to using her services.”

After August it will be from 4 in the afternoon to 10 pm. If needed to stay longer we can talk and work things out for overnights or any time you need if I’m available. I always check if their bowl if full with water and check if they are comfortable. If they look energetic I walk them for almost 30 minutes to 1 hour and always bring them back to rest. Feed them only at the clients specific time and if there is no specific time I would feed it twice a day ( one meal at noon and one at 6-7 pm).
About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds before since i was a child. I was the one that was always responsible for taking care and walking the dogs for my friends and family. Im currently, in part time summer school however its online so i would have plenty of time to spoil your cute little loved ones all the time. I have a beautiful grass yard downstairs and im right by the lake shore walk so im gonna have so many activities for your puppies.

“Ania was great! Very professional, kind and reliable sitter. Simba had a wonderful stay with Ania! Lots of photo/video updates, I can see my dog was truly well taken care of! Will definitely book with her again in a future 💕”
“Chelsea is such a wonderful sitter !!! My dog absolutely loves her and her family. It’s great knowing that my dog is in great hands when I’m away and Chelsea always takes great care of her. Highly recommend Chelsea !!”
“I have two small 8-year-old dogs. They spent 10 days with Bola. Bola was great, she clearly puts her heart into this job. She sent pictures every two or three days. The living room has a clean wooden floor. The small fenced grassy yard is perfect for small dogs to run and sniff around. Bola even delivered the dogs to my home at the end of their stay (a 15-minute drive). I warmly recommend her service.”
“Liz and her family were so good to Tyson. He loved staying there, and they really welcomed him into their family. He's the kind of dog who thrives off of attention and love, and they gave him plenty of both. I also got great updates and pictures which really made me feel like he was in good hands. I will definitely book with them again, if possible!”
“Ashley is AMAZING with our dog Rue! She sends such sweet photos and updates, she’s flexible and responsive - we always know Rue is in great hands when we’re out of town.”
“Nathan has taken care of our Luna twice now, both times on short notice, and we couldn’t be happier with him. He is incredibly caring, attentive, and truly treats Luna like his own. He kept us feeling completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. The pickup and drop-off service is an added convenience that we really appreciate. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust and will definitely be using Nathan again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Such patience with our beagle who can be a handful with his sensitive tummy. She kept us in the loop the whole time we were away and was so receptive to suggestions I had for keeping our pup comfortable and happy.”
“Fred was great! Super responsive, flexible & sent updates and pictures of Winnie! Picked up a healthy & happy dog at the end of a long weekend! Would rebook & recommend to others!”
“Fortino was amazing! My dog is pretty high energy and I could tell he was having a great time. Fortino sent regular updates and he took my dog on lots of fun excursions with his own dog. He was very communicative and I could tell he paid close attention to details of my dog’s comfort, personality, etc. He even gave my dog a sweater that previously belonged to his dog but was too small, which was very sweet. Will definitely board with him again.”
“Hannah took wonderful care of Margot. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Margot came home happy.. Margot is an energetic teenager, and Hannah took it all in stride. We’d happily have her watch Margot again.”
