“Lech was brave enough to take care of my bulldogs for three days. He did a great job checking in and sending pics. More importantly, when Francis and Mr Wrinkles got home, they didn't seem to have been stressed out or anything, which has happened with sitters in the past. Further, Lech was able to take care of my "special needs" dog who is def. And, he was available to pick up and drop off the pair which saved me tons of time. Will def look to book again!”

“Our dog, Mel, had a rough start in life and can be extremely distrustful of strangers. Nikki was incredible with her. Mel warmed up to Nikki surprisingly quickly and completely fell in love with her. It didn’t take long for her to become a total Velcro dog! Nikki was also fantastic about providing regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She is exactly the kind of person you can trust with your fur babies: caring, attentive, patient, and detail oriented. We’re so grateful we found the perfect sitter for Mel, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nikki to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
“John and Ryan were the best!! They were able to watch Wilson somewhat last minute and were so easy to work with. Sent lots of updates and pics, Wilson had the BEST TIME, I think he was sad to return lol. Thank you guys!!”
“Sophia and Andy were super accommodating. Never had to ask for a picture because they were on top of it. You can tell how much they care for pets. Made me feel like my dog Morrie was really well taken care of. Morrie came back happy and content :) Definitely recommend. Thanks so much again”

“Amazing sitter for our dog! This was our first time leaving her for so many days not with family. Christina was great about sending updates and took wonderful care of Gobi. Will absolutely book with her again!!”
“Julia was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Sammie. Sammie is very shy and can take time to warm up to new people, but Julia was so patient, understanding, and gentle with her. She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos where I could easily see how comfortable and happy Sammie was in her care. It’s clear Julia truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. I felt completely at ease while I was away and would trust her to watch Sammie again in a heartbeat!”

“Rachel watched our cat Zelda while we were on vacation for over a week. We couldn't have been happier and felt so secure knowing Rachel was looking after our 15 year old kitty. She sent great updates so we know how the visit went and took the time to really give details. Rachel also took amazing photos that we looked forward to everyday and they're so good, we saved to add to our collection.

It was clear from the start that she’s a true cat lover, and Toulouse absolutely adored her. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely reach out to her again in the future.”

About: I started volunteering at my local humane society in 4th grade, got an official job there in high school, and worked there up until my sophomore year in college! I have extensive experience working with all types of dogs, and my family has fostered animals my entire life. I can't wait to meet so many amazing wagging tails here in Chicago! I am working full time with a flexible schedule, so I am happy to step away to walk some dogs or give them some extra love in the middle of the day! I live in a 2 bedroom pet friendly apartment with my fiance. We both work from home so we are happy to welcome your pet into our home or I am happy to travel to yours. We live near Oz Park so we love taking walks there at all times of day!
“Sani is great with our dog! She treats her like family. Pit dog is always happy to go spend time there! She also takes her on many walks throughout the day and sends us tons of great pictures and updates. The best!!”
“I was hesitant about finding a babysitter (yes I said babysitter) but I’m glad I found Lawrence. He takes such good care of my miracle that she gets excited and doesn’t think twice about leaving me, which she’s usually stuck to my side. I receive pictures of their day together and it eases my mind when I’m at work. 5 stars!”
“Rebecca provided wonderful care for my pup Kinga. I felt very comfortable leaving Kinga with Rebecca and appreciated the updates she sent. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Dave was an awesome find—really easy to talk and plan with before drop off, during, and pick up. Great space for dogs and it’s always nice getting a picture or video sent periodically. Once we picked up our pup, he was so tired which must’ve meant he had an exciting day—would recommend and we’ll be back!”
“Mady is absolutely great! Theo loves Mady and makes us feel so much more comfortable to leave him with her while we are at work rather than at a busy dog place where they don’t really watch her. Theo is a puppy and has had some tummy problems and Mady was a champ helping him out during the day! Huge thanks to Mady and would highly recommend! - Anna”
“Isabel was wonderful with Piper! She was incredibly responsive and communicative, sent us lots of photos throughout the weekend, and was so flexible and easy to work with. Most importantly, we could tell Piper was treated with so much love and care. Isabel’s Bernese Mountain Dog was super friendly, and the two dogs got along great! We felt completely comfortable having Piper in her care and would absolutely love to use Isabel’s dog-sitting services again. Highly recommend!”
“John & Ryan took wonderful care of my dog Newton! They sent a cute photo update and were very flexible with pick up and drop off times. Would highly recommend!”
“Madeleine was really communicative and easy to work with! She took Freddie on several long walks and made the drop off and pick up really easy. I felt totally comfortable”
“Nathan watched our dogs on three separate days while visiting the Chicago area and we couldn’t have found a better fit for our two dogs! We really appreciate the time you spent with them on their walks and looking after them. Thank you so much Nathan! We had such a great time and if we’re ever back in the city we will definitely get a hold of you.”
“Brad is great - my dog is nervous around everyone yet she acts like she’s known him her whole life. I particularly like that he sends pics of the two of them lounging together!”
“Allie is an excellent caretaker. She took my puppy Charlie in for daycare over a weekend and her dog and mine got along great. They played, then napped, then played, then napped. Charlie looked very happy and cozy in all of her photos and she kept in touch regularly. Highly recommend.”
“Alyssa was a delight to meet and I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup Kinga with her. She sent photos and updates and took great care of Kinga. I will definitely ask Alyssa to watch Kinga again!”
“Stacy was a great choice for doggy daycare! She was super flexible if I was ever running late from work and took lots of adorable pictures of Chico. She took him on long runs and walks, so he always came home happy and tired. I’d highly recommend Stacy for any of your dog care needs!”
“John was great with Luna! Super communicative and attentive to her needs. We also had an emergency which required a last minute late pick up and John was incredibly understanding and accommodating. Wouldn’t hesitate to leave her with John again.”

“Max went for daycare with Jiyeon today, and as soon as we arrived, he knew exactly where we were and walked in with total confidence. It’s such a joy to see him so excited—this is the only place where he runs in, tail wagging, ready for a full day of play with his pup friends! Jiyeon has been absolutely wonderful with Max, and her daily updates give us so much peace of mind. We’re so grateful for the care and consistency she provides.”

“Erin is amazing!! She took excellent care of my anxious dog and took the time to work with her to make sure she was comfortable. It was my dog’s first time with a walker and I will definitely be booking with Erin again :)”
About: All my life, I have loved animals of every species but especially dogs and cats. I have experience caring for dogs of any size, age, or breed from the smallest ones, like Chihuahuas, to the largest, such as Newfoundlands or Great Danes. Caring for your pet is a responsibility I undertake with love, patience, and dedication. I want every dog to feel safe, calm, and loved while their family is away. I understand that every pet has its own unique personality, routines, and needs; I find it very easy to interact with any pet. I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. Currently, my husband and I have two dogs a Chihuahua and a Border Collie so I understand that every pet receives love in its own way, What characterizes me most is that I am very patient and responsible with animals. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, thanks to my flexible schedule and strong time management skills. I am available throughout the mornings and for much of the day, which allows me to handle walks, home visits, and general care calmly and without rushing. I enjoy maintaining an active and responsible routine; as a result, I am able to dedicate quality time to each pet, ensuring they receive the attention, companionship, and care they need. My priority is to maintain their routine and ensure they feel comfortable and safe in their own space. I make sure to follow each owner's instructions, including schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and any special care they may require. I also strive to provide them with attention, companionship, and patience so that they do not feel lonely while their owners are away. I treat each client's home with responsibility and strive to maintain a clean, tidy, and trustworthy environment for both the pets and their families.

I have a flexible schedule, so feel free to reach out and chat about what times work best for you! I live in Lincoln Park and work Downtown. I have experience with a wide range of pet personality types and behavioral tendencies. I understand the signs they give and when to show love or leave them alone. I know what their boundaries are in the apartment/house/yard and am conscious about all food, plastics, plants, and any other materials being left around them.
About: I've been around dogs and cats my entire life. From big to small, and all types of personalities. I am comfortable with all pets no matter the breed/size.

About: Hi everyone, I'm Jordan! I have been a dog lover my entire life and love spending my free time with my dog, Stella. Growing up with a dog and volunteering at shelters, I know the love, attention, and care that pets deserve. Having recently graduated from college and moved into the city, I'm excited to spend more time caring for and connecting with dogs.

About: Ever since I was born I’ve had dogs in my family. I adore all breeds and respect dogs that need more care and special attention. I also know what it’s like to care for senior and terminally ill dogs. While I’ve mostly talked about dogs, I also enjoy cats. I have never personally owned one but I always had friends with cats, so I am familiar with their behaviors and needs. I am currently home from college, so my schedule is wide open. If something changes in my availability I will update my profile promptly. I am available all days of the week at any time of day. I love hanging out with animals but if they need to be crated or left alone I don’t mind just hanging out at a distance while keeping an eye on them.
About: Growing up with dogs I have learned a great deal about how best to take care of them. I have several years of experience walking dogs, giving medication and making sure they get plenty of love and attention. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets! I work a full time job but would love to care for your pets before or after work hours Monday through Friday. I am also avaible any time on weekends! I am very respectful of a clients home and will take any instructions or requests on how to take care of a pet very seriously. While I do not currently have any pets of my own I grew up with dogs and understand the responsible and trust required in a dog sitter.

Sharon made sure there were plenty of walks, park and/outdoor time based on what is best for the dogs! For example one day is was very hot and she set up a pool in the backyard for Betty and her dog! I highly recommend Sharon especially if you have a dog like my Golden Retriever who would much rather be around other people and dogs than in a crate!”

She took great care of the pups, which isn’t the easiest with our 14yo yorkie 💙 she played with our energetic Honey and took sweet pictures for us of both.
