“Kamiah & Casius were great with my fur baby. It was my first time using a service like this and I was so nervous. Kamiah was understanding of my nerves answered all my questions. She sent daily photos and videos. She was understandable with my travel delays and when I picked my dog up she was smiling and continued to do so for the rest of the evening.

“Coretta is very friendly and got along well with my pet. She leaves very detailed notes and sends pictures every visit. I really appreciate the care she took with my pet and the time she took with updating me. She also was very respectful of my apartment everything was the way it was before I left when I came home.

“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.”
“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.”
“Dominique was attentive and kind! She sent some videos of my cat while I was away, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be going back to Dominique in the future”
About: I have experience caring for cats with different personalities, routines, and energy levels, from playful kittens to calm senior cats. I understand the importance of patience, cleanliness, and creating a comfortable environment where cats feel safe and relaxed. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box cleaning, playtime, administering basic care, and giving cats space when needed. I pay close attention to behavior and comfort to make sure every cat receives gentle, dependable care while their owner is away. Pet parents can also expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout each visit.
“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.”
“Jayden is the best, so kind and attentive and thoughtful! We love seeing all the cute pictures they take, and our two picky cats love Jayden’s care and company.”
About: I've owned pets my whole life. I currently own two dogs: a Coton de Tulear named Kitty and a sweet German Shepherd named Medusa. I volunteer at animal shelters, and work as a veterinarian assistant. I have experience with cats and dogs ranging from newborns to seniors. While I have my own pets, rest assured your baby will have my undivided attention while in my care.
“Christopher was great taking care of our very old cat on our recent house sit, which included oral medication and infusion. He followed instructions and asked questions when clarification was needed. Would recommend!”
“Deanna provided great care for my kitten, Boots! He can be a handful as he’s only 10 weeks old and she took great care of him and had a positive attitude with all of the kitten energy! She and her roommate were very helpful with transporting all of his supplies and making boarding an ease. She was very responsive when I texted. I would recommend Deanna for all of your kitten and pet needs!”

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've been with pets all throughout my life. I've taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, tortoises, parrots and fishes. I have a labrador Casper and a golden retriever, Remmy back home in Nepal, whom I miss every day. So I'm just looking for ways to spend more time with pets here. I work remotely as a software engineer, so my work schedule is flexible. I have lots of free time during the day, so I'm looking to walk dogs. In the past, I've walked dogs to the lake which is just 30 mins walk from home and I just chill at the lake with the dogs I'm taking care of, and also get some minor work done on my laptop. I live in a two bedroom apartment, so there's enough space for a pet. I usually walk dogs to the lake, which is just 30 mins walk from my place.
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.

“I was looking for daycare for my dog and am happy to have found Tamara! She’s great with communication and has been flexible which has been very helpful. And my dogs tail is always wagging when we walk up.”
About: I have extensive pet care experience that began in my childhood. Growing up, I was responsible for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and small mammals. This early exposure taught me the essentials of animal care, from feeding and grooming to understanding their behaviors and health needs. Over the years, I have honed my skills in providing attentive and compassionate care, ensuring that each pet feels loved and well-tended. This lifelong passion has equipped me with the knowledge and empathy necessary to handle a wide range of pet care responsibilities confidently. I work from home and I am a home body except when I walk outdoors, run or bike! A walk is so much better with a dog I have plenty of space for dogs to run as I has a long hallway and a downstairs! I have parks 2 blocks down where I live and a dog area.
“My little boy was in wonderful hands at doggie daycare with Dwight. Dwight is fantastic with Navy! He picked Navy up right on schedule and had everything Navy needed — I only had to pack his food. Throughout the day, I received pictures and updates on how Navy was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. Dwight’s prices are very reasonable, and his calm spirit put me at ease from the very beginning. I definitely plan on using his services often!”
“We left our 7 month old for a day while we hit the lakefront, and he seemed to have loved his stay! Nakeisha sent us updates throughout the day, with photos, which was a great way for us to still feel connected while away :)”

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!.
“She was amazing with my puppy. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. Will definitely book with her again. And a bonus that she is also a dog groomer which I will also be using her services for that when my puppy is ready to get her first haircut.”
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!

About: I love caring for pets so I figure what better way to express that than by putting my skills to use through this app. I’m here to make your day less stressful! I’m home full time and I have a pretty flexible schedule so whenever you need me I’ll most likely be available. I’m calm, active and fun so your dog is truly in good hands with me. I’ve been dog sitting for the past two years now and I’ve learned the importance of being sensitive to the dogs needs. I’ve also learned the importance of being consistent with the owner’s original rules for their dog. No need to ruin all the hard work that you’ve put in to train them properly. See you soon!
About: Hello lovely pet families! It's a pleasure to meet you. I am a professional and experienced pet caregiver with several years of experience looking to support Chicago families with enthusiastic and loving pet care (I have previously worked as a pet caregiver in both Chicago, LA and Sydney, AU). I've worked with pets of all ages and am comfortable assisting pets with special needs. Not only have I worked with pets, but I've had animals in my household throughout my life from back as far as I can remember. In addition to assisting with daily doggie care in home, I'm happy to help with overnight requirements as well. As a previous pet owner and current caregiver, I understand that leaving your pets with others can be stressful and a big decision. I'll make sure to will text you photos during your pet's stay to let you know your pet is as happy and well looked after. I hope to have the chance to meet you soon! I’m currently working part-time & remote, so I have flexible availability based on you and your pets’ needs. I can adapt to their schedule as needed. The only thing that matters is that you have the time to make the right choice and make it work. If you’re going for the best outcome

“Tonisa was great!! We did a meet and greet first. She was accommodating of any special needs and took care of Rocky like her own! Great with pictures and videos too! Rocky will be back to see Ava, his new friend.”
“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!”
“Bola took great care of my pup child. Rhea received lots of love and was definitely spoiled. (I can tell) lol Bola was responsive and sent updates and videos of Rhea. Rhea really likes Bryce and I hope they become long-term pup friends. I would definitely book again without giving it a second thought.”
“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.”
“Dominique is great with my girl Pip !!! My dog recognizes her block in the neighborhood as we walk by and even stops to smell the entrance with excitement each time we pass by. Dominique is quick to respond, sends lots of updates with pictures, and I come home to a happy tired dog after being away!!”
“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!”

“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 ☺️”
“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.”
“Tamara was absolutely amazing with Frankie! From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in safe, caring hands. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. It’s clear she truly loves and understands dogs, and Frankie seemed so happy and comfortable in her care. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Mercedes! This was our second time booking with her, and after our first experience, my mom even felt comfortable sending her puppy this time too. From the moment our dogs arrive, it’s obvious they are treated like part of the family. She takes them on plenty of walks, sends lots of pictures and updates, and truly gives us complete peace of mind while we’re away. Her whole family clearly loves having the dogs around, and it shows in the care and attention they receive. When we picked up our dog, she had even given her a bath, so she came home looking extra clean and happy! As if that wasn’t enough, she sent us home with the sweetest care package, complete with an adorable picture of our dog on the front. She consistently goes above and beyond in every way. She is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and trustworthy. We never have to worry about whether our dog is being well cared for because we know she is in the best hands. We are so grateful to have found her and will absolutely continue booking with her in the future. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed! ❤️”
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!
“Manuel is the best sitter I could have found for my dog. He took such good care of my corgi Kit, and kept me updated the whole time. He looked after his sensitive paws and made sure Kit was entertained. I really appreciate the social time with other dogs that Kit got during his stay. Manuel is very responsive, attentive, kind, and reliable. Thank you so much for looking after my pup for the holidays. Will definitely book with Manuel again the next time I’m out of town.”
“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 !”
“I had a great experience with Sara. She communicated well and was really easy going. She sent pictures and videos. And our dog Boomer seemed to have a great time! I would happily book again!”
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!
“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.”
