“Ksenia took fantastic care of our dog Alfie! She was super attentive to him and sent us lots of updates during his stay. He also got along really well with her pup! Would definitely board Ksenia again!”
“Ania did a great job taking care of Dalí. He is very shy and needs time adjusting to new people. She was very gentle with him, and even took him on a couple of walks leading up to our reservation to make sure he was comfortable with her. Ania was responsive, accommodated Dalí’s needs, and sent pictures/video updates. I have already booked another boarding reservation with her.”
“Katrina was such a wonderful caretaker for Sputnik. We were in town for a few days with a bit of a hectic schedule but Katrina was flexible and worked with us on pickup and drop off times. She took Sputnik on lots of walks and we even purchased the grooming session so he was a dapper boy when we picked him up. Would definitely use Katrina again next time we’re in Chicago.”

“Outstanding host for our two fur babies! Anytime we find a sitter as caring and keen to detail as Mia was to our dogs, we cling on! She’s reliable and she goes the extra mile to make sure the dogs are comfortable and well taken care of. This was a last minute booking because their other sitter was unavailable, however, we feel so lucky to have found her, she adores our dogs and it shows in the interaction between them through the daily photos. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Andrea did a great job watching my dog for the weeks my dog is a rescue and can sometimes be a bit anxious. He did wonderful in Andrea’s home. I would definitely feel comfortable using Andrea in the future.”
“Jenna was so kind and responsive! I could clearly tell in my pup’s behavior that he felt safe and comfortable with her which was a huge win for us as he often anxious! I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Sassy had such an amazing time with Michael and Joanna. They really made her feel at home. They have the perfect setup to take care of your pets with all of the essentials and more! Sassy was able to make new friends and receive all the love and attention she desires. They made sure to keep me up to date by sending daily pics and videos. If you are looking for a safe, reliable, and fun environment for your dog, be sure to book with them. They are true pet professionals that provide the support and care needed for your animals. And they even made a cute collar and bandana for Sassy that she loves! I will definitely bring Sassy back whenever I need a sitter.”
“Nathan was extremely easy to work with. He adapted to changes very well and I appreciated the extra effort he made for us to meet with the dogs in our local dog park before he watched Bruce. Would definitely recommend”

About: Growing up with a sweet chocolate lab and a sassy golden retriever for 10+ years has taught me much of what I know about dogs today. After all, they are family! While your pup is away from theirs, know that they’ll be shown great attention, patience, and fun in my care. Whether your dog is big or small, shy or playful, they are always welcome to strut in the riverwalk with me! I have a fully remote office job so I’m pretty flexible for walks and care. Specifically, I’m free Mondays - Fridays in the mornings or afternoons. I’m also available on weekends upon request! I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with a doorman and a small green space on the ground floor. I’m very nearby to the riverwalk and lake as well!
“Steven was very communicative during pickup and drop off. He shared regular updates and photos of Polo that put us in peace of mind. Polo had a very nice and comfy stay with Steven. And I’d recommend Steven to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter in the area.”
About: Your Best Friend in Downtown Chicago Hi there! I’m a recently retired professional and a lifelong dog lover, currently enjoying an active and fulfilling lifestyle in Downtown Chicago (60601 area). After a rewarding career, I am now focusing my time on my true passion: providing top-tier care, safety, and companionship for dogs. My experience is deeply personal. I am the proud owner of a 100-pound "gentle giant" whom I rescued from a shelter eight years ago. Raising her has been one of my most rewarding journeys; it taught me the importance of patience, positive reinforcement, and how to truly understand the unique personality of every dog—especially those who may have had a rough start. Today, she is an incredibly well-socialized and gentle host who loves making new friends. Whether your pup is a high-energy athlete, a shy rescue, or a senior who prefers a slow stroll, I have the experience and heart to cater to their specific needs. What We’ll Do Together My location is a paradise for urban pups! My routine is built around being outdoors, and I typically walk my own dog at least three times a day. When your pet stays with me or joins me for a walk, they will enjoy: Park Playtime: We are located just steps away from a local dog park for social interaction and fresh air. Scenic Strolls: I am just a 5-minute walk from the beautiful Lake Shore sidewalk path, offering refreshing lake breezes and plenty of mental stimulation. Personalized Attention: Because I am retired, your pet isn't just a "stop" on a list. They become part of my day, receiving focused attention, consistent supervision, and plenty of companionship. Availability & Commitment Since I am fully retired and live right here in the neighborhood, I offer exceptional availability. Unlike sitters with a 9-to-5 or a long commute, I am home throughout the day. This means: Constant Supervision: For boarding and daycare, your pet will rarely be left alone. Flexible Scheduling: I can easily accommodate specific feeding times, medication windows, or last-minute walk requests. Professional Reliability: I treat every guest dog with the same level of care and safety I give my own. You can expect regular "Rover Cards" with photos and updates, so you can rest easy knowing your furry family member is thriving in a safe, experienced home. I look forward to meeting you and your pup for a "Meet & Greet" to ensure we are a perfect match! As a recently retired professional, my daily routine revolves around staying active and enjoying the outdoors. I am very disciplined with my own dog’s schedule, and we head out for at least three walks every single day. Being located in 60601, I take full advantage of our local dog park and the beautiful Lake Shore path. Your pet will simply be joining our established, healthy, and consistent routine. Whether it's a brisk morning walk or a relaxed afternoon stroll, I have the flexibility and the passion to ensure your dog gets all the exercise, fresh air, and attention they need throughout the day.
“It was so great to have our pup stay with Chad for the second time! Chad is so easy to communicate with and clearly takes such good care of our boy - all the love and play time for him we could hope for while we’re away! We will definitely look to rely on Chad and his wife as our regular pup sitters whenever possible!”
“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.”
“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 !”
“Songen is awesome, she took excellent care of my senior dog on a last-minute basis. She asked tons of questions beforehand to get as much information as possible to ensure the highest quality of care for my pup. She’s very responsive, sent a lot of photo updates, and I would definitely trust her with my dog again. Thanks so much!”

About: My experience ranges from all ages of dogs including seniors, 5 years, puppies etc. I started by walking dogs for those who couldn’t take their dogs out and dog sitting for friends on vacation. Currently I’m a doctoral student and I make time for dog walking and sitting by scheduling everything out efficiently. Nothing is better than walking for a break or studying with a pup. I specifically have dog sat for as long as a week, a few hours, and also as simple as a quick walk. Hope to meet some new buddies :) 🐶🐈⬛ I dedicate my weekends to pet care; however, am available for dog walking certain days during the week. Times can be given or discussed based on need! I ensure the safety of each dog I care for by following instructions and routines shared with me prior to arrival. I do request these details to be shared before I begin care and all other concerns can be communicated through a call, messages, or a form of communication.
“Kacy is absolutely amazing. She has amazing communication skills and shows her genuine care for your animal. She always leaves the sweetest updates and photos. I am positive Kacy will do an amazing job with your pet!! Thank you Kacy!”

About: With being a dog-owner and pet lover for over 8 years, I’ve had the privilege of meeting and caring for dogs of all sizes. From energetic puppies to senior dogs all requiring special attention, I’ve developed a strong intuition for understanding each dog’s personality and making them feel loved and safe. Some skills of mine include administering medications, providing playtime, and maintaining consistent skills that help both dog parents and dogs feel comfortable. I treat every pet as if they are my own by creating a nurturing and joyful environment that any tail can depend on. This summer, I have a flexible and currently open schedule, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of dog care needs—from daily walks and drop-in visits to extended sitting and last-minute bookings. Whether your dog needs midday attention while you’re at work or full-time care while you're away, I’m available and ready to help. My open availability means I can adjust to your routine and provide consistent, reliable care whenever you need it most. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize comfort, safety, and routine. I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality, habits, and needs—whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, providing medications, or simply offering extra cuddles and playtime. I make sure to maintain a calm and respectful presence in the home, keeping everything clean, secure, and just the way the owner left it. I also keep in regular contact with updates and photos, so clients can feel confident and reassured while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel as relaxed and happy as they do when their family is home.

I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I'm currently a graduate student and work part-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., which gives me a great deal of flexibility during afternoons, evenings, and weekends . I'm available for dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight pet sitting, and weekend care.

When I had the opportunity to lessen the days, I explained to Meg I rather do that and she cancelled the sit so I can rebook it for the fewer days. She was willing to have me drop off Swirly earlier than she wakes up, sent pictures, and updates. Swirly looked relaxed and happy. I would book Meg again anytime!”
