“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. 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”
“Kyla was incredible!! From the initial contact to pickup, she was friendly and professional. She took the time to know my dog’s needs and preferences. She sent me regular updates and photos of my pup, which put me at ease while I was away! I highly recommend Kyla for a trustworthy and caring place for their dog. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Liz is a fantastic host for your dog. She is accommodating, friendly, and more than willing to go the extra mile to make your dog feel comfortable. Highly recommended.”
“Tanesha was wonderful! This was Midnight's first time with a sitter, so we were very worried. Tanesha sent us pictures and videos of Midnight throughout her stay. I can tell that she gave Midnight her undivided attention. We were very pleased with Tenesha, she treated Midnight if she was her own. We would definitely use Tanesha again.”
“My Gizelle walked right into Victoria's place inspecting every corner before Victoria could give her a proper greeting! Gizelle was very comfortable and tool to Victoria who sent photos throughout the days I was gone. Somehow Victoria got Gizelle to use a pee pad and play with a toy. Things she never does at home. I am grateful for Victoria's care. Thank you!”
“This is Manuel’s 2nd time watching my kitty Luna and he was just as awesome as the first time! He sent me a ton of photos, was very flexible with pick up and drop off times and overall very communicative.”

“Mike and Joanna were absolutely amazing! I needed last-minute care for my dog, and they responded almost instantly. From the start, they were friendly, professional, and incredibly accommodating. They took such great care of my dog and made the whole experience completely stress-free for me. It was clear that my dog was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. What really surprised me was that they even sent my dog home with free gifts — such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture, especially for such a short stay! I can’t recommend Mike and Joanna enough. If I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would. Thank you both for going above and beyond!”
“Nemo took to Kathleen right away. She kept him busy with walking and playing with her children. She is a dog lover! He is as in good hands. Sent several pics too. Would definitely ask her to sit again.”

“Mercedes did an absolutely phenomenal job caring for my dog, Mugzy, during his first three-week stay with her. Mugzy can be incredibly nervous when separated from me, which made me highly anxious about leaving him with a sitter for the first time. Mercedes completely eased my worries with her warm, welcoming nature and exceptional organization.She gave Mugzy extra special attention, making him feel loved and completely at home. He had a wonderful time socializing with Mercedes and her children. Thanks to this experience, I feel entirely confident leaving him in her care for my upcoming travel.To top it all off, Mercedes baked delicious brownies for me, made special treats for Mugzy, and gave him a bath so he was fresh and clean at pickup. She even provided a detailed report card tracking his progress! I am incredibly grateful for Mercedes and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier care for their furry family member.”
“Ania watched our dog Elliot for a weekend. During this time she was communicative and provided us with lots of pictures! He got comfortable fast with her and came back to us a happy dog!”
“OMG she was wonderful. Her space was nice and clean she checked in everyday with me I was running late she assured me it was ok my dog went on play dates and much more. I would definitely be using her every time.”
“I had the pleasure of having Bola watch my dogs, Lady, Jasmine, and Vixen, after putting in a last-minute request. My dogs weren’t comfortable in their previous environment, and Bola went above and beyond to accommodate us. She was incredibly welcoming, nurturing, and made my dogs feel right at home. When they came back to the hotel for our last night, they were actually upset with me and didn’t even want me to love on them—clearly, they adored Bola! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies. Thank you, Bola, for being so amazing!”
“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!!”
“Chloe is a shy and cautious puppy. Janet sent me updates frequently during her stay. She cared about her happiness and went above and beyond to become friends with Chloe. I really appreciate her love for Chloe. I will definitely book with her again in the future. Now I can travel guilt free knowing my puppy is in good hands.”
“We are first time pet owners and this was our first time leaving our new pup Leo. Kendra was wonderful.

I was so pleased, I plan to leave Leo with Kendra again.”

Ashley has watched my dog for up to two weeks and it’s a relief to have him in such good hands. We’re so grateful for her services!”

That meant so much to me and truly showed her dedication and professionalism. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”

First, I ended up booking shorter notice and Chelsea responded immediately, was flexible, and was able to accommodate me and my babies. Chelsea was a great communicator when she was caring for my kitties, she gave consistent updates about how they were doing, as well as the tasks she completed when caring for them (refilling food and water, cleaning the litter box). I really appreciated the time and effort Chelsea put into caring for my babies, especially during the holiday time. Thank you!”

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!
“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: 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!.
About: Hi, I’m Sheccid 👋🏼 As a proud dog mom to my Chi-Beagle, Lily, I know that every pup has a unique personality. Dogs have always been a central part of my life, and l've become great at reading their cues and adapting to their specific needs. I currently live in a relaxed home with my husband and Lily. I work from home, so I'll give your pup plenty of focused attention throughout the day. I'm also lucky to have a fenced-in yard, providing a safe and private space for your dog to play and stretch their legs. I can adapt to all types of temperaments- whether your dog is shy and needs a patient hand or is bold and high-energy. If they enjoy making new friends, Lily is available to join us on our walks for some extra socialization. I am dedicated to building a bond of trust with every dog I meet (and their owner) and look forward to caring for your furry friend! I work part-time from home, so Lily and I will have plenty of time to go on walks, play, and keep your pet company while you’re gone. Although Lily is friendly I never leave them unsupervised or alone for too long. I’m flexible with their needs and can crate or give them their own space if they’re nervous.
“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. I would definitely recommend Gabriel and would love for him to continue sitting for us in the future.”

Evening and nights works best for the weekdays and for the weekends I am open for anytime you need. For cats do have multiple cat bags if they need to brought to a appointment or any where else. And foot dogs if you don't have a leach I can get one but I would prefer for you to have leeches and rates of pets need to be taken out of the house .
About: As a previous dog owner and sitter of nearly a decade, I have a very strong skill set when it comes to catering to your unique pup's needs! I am keen on carefully following the instructions left by dog owners while also using my own sensible judgement to make the best decisions for each pet. I can't wait to meet both you and your pup! I am a full-time CMU student, so I'm available to care for your pet(s) predominately on the weekends and all semester breaks during the school year, but anytime during the summer! I live in an apartment that doesn't allow dogs unfortunately. However, I do live within 3-5 minutes away from several parks, including Mellon Park, The Walled Garden, and Baum Grove Park.
About: I have been a pet owner for over 20 years, so caring for animals has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have helped raise, train, exercise, and comfort dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I was also a cat owner for over a decade, which gave me experience with pets who have very different personalities, routines, and comfort levels. My family has been pet sitting for nearly 10 years, and I helped with a lot of that care over the years. Through that, I learned how important it is to be reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. Now that I am on my own, I am excited to start offering pet care myself and to provide pets with the same kind of safe, loving care I would want for my own animals. I am a teacher, but I am currently on summer break, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I have plenty of availability during the day, evenings, and weekends, while still being dependable and consistent with the care I provide. I am able to work around each pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. In my home, pets will have a safe, clean, and comfortable space to relax and feel cared for. I live in a large 3-bedroom apartment with secure doors that create natural barriers throughout the apartment, which makes it easy to separate spaces when needed or help a pet feel more comfortable. There are no other pets in the home, so your pet will receive my full attention without having to adjust to unfamiliar animals. One of the best parts of my home is the fully fenced-in backyard. There is plenty of space for dogs to run around, play, use the bathroom, or just stretch their legs safely. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, water, comfort, and supervision based on each pet’s normal routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow the owner’s instructions closely so the pet can stay on their usual schedule. I know how important consistency is, so I pay attention to feeding times, walks, medication instructions, favorite toys, comfort needs, and any house rules. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they are in my home or their own.
About: Lifelong animal lover, partly raised on a farm, who’s taken care of domestic animal friends for fifteen years or better (cats, dogs, hamsters, mice, prairie dogs, rabbits, rats, etc.), currently cohabitating with two feline tuxedo friends a decade apart in age who enrich my existence. Work part-time in specialized, diversified retail, otherwise freelance (gig work, journalism, music industry -related tasks, et. al.), with a flexible schedule for early mornings, evenings, and weekends. Currently only available for offsite care—as I live in a modest apartment—while exercising discretion, security, respect, and cleanliness. My own pets are low maintenance, so available for mornings, evenings, or overnight, but not full-time offsite.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13, mainly my own, but I’ve also taken care of friend’s and family friend’s dogs in these past 3 years, so I understand the anxiety or fear of leaving a part of your family in the care of someone that isn’t you and won’t treat your pet like you will. That’s why I always adjust and accommodate my services to every pet’s needs. When it comes to basic care of pets, I always take puppies and dogs on walks at whichever time of day that they need to go out, always making sure to bring snacks and water so they always stay hydrated and healthy. I make sure they have enough playtime inside and outside so they don’t get bored and are entertained. I understand that not every dog wants to play or can’t move too much, so I of course adjust these activities to accommodate every pet’s individual needs so they’re always comfortable and happy. I also have experience with senior care, specifically giving dogs the medicines they need at the intended hours of the day or night. It goes without saying that my main priority are the pets in my care so I also make sure to always check up on every pet at different hours and times, rarely leaving them out of my sight (while also keeping my distance if they’re resting) to ensure they’re always okay. I work part-time remotely since I finished university in March of 2024. So I have no issues with times and days that will work best for you and your pets! I care for pets in client’s homes by making sure they’re never missing anything, from food, water, toys, time to go to the bathroom, medicines if they take them, etc… I make sure pets understand I’m simply there as an aid for them and someone they can play with if they choose to! I’m simply there to ensure every pet is taken care of while also having time to play and give them their space, after all, it’s their home and they need to feel the most comfortable and safe in their own space.
About: In the few years I’ve been caring for various animals of my own and others, I feel I treat them as if they are my own human children.

Playtime is always a given with my own dogs as well I can ensure you that while your pets are in my possession, they are closely monitored and will be entertained. Like stated before I work from home most nights so I’m flexible to work and care at the same time

I would cater to whatever would be your normal schedule and ways of taking care of your animals as they are accustomed to.
About: Hi, I’m Sheccid 👋🏼 As a proud dog mom to my Chi-Beagle, Lily, I know that every pup has a unique personality. Dogs have always been a central part of my life, and l've become great at reading their cues and adapting to their specific needs. I currently live in a relaxed home with my husband and Lily. I work from home, so I'll give your pup plenty of focused attention throughout the day. I'm also lucky to have a fenced-in yard, providing a safe and private space for your dog to play and stretch their legs. I can adapt to all types of temperaments- whether your dog is shy and needs a patient hand or is bold and high-energy. If they enjoy making new friends, Lily is available to join us on our walks for some extra socialization. I am dedicated to building a bond of trust with every dog I meet (and their owner) and look forward to caring for your furry friend! I work part-time from home, so Lily and I will have plenty of time to go on walks, play, and keep your pet company while you’re gone. Although Lily is friendly I never leave them unsupervised or alone for too long. I’m flexible with their needs and can crate or give them their own space if they’re nervous.
“Twix loves her so much! He knows her car at this point and is jumping for us to let him go with his friend. She is so amazing withy doodle who isn’t the easiest to walk cause he is a puller and she does perfect with him. I have also used her for boarding and day care and I know when he is with her he is so happy and well taken care of ♥️”
About: I have had pets all my life, and absolutely love them. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them the love and care that they deserve! Dogs are wonderful, and they deserve all the happiness that we give them. Walking your dog is such an important thing to do, and I would love to have the opportunity to walk your dog if you are busy. I know life can get hectic, which is why I am here to help you out if you need it! Thank you! I work full time, and work a rotating shift schedule. What I work changes every week, so I have no doubts I'll be able to help you with what you need! I personally have two dogs, and have had dogs growing up my entire life. Getting the energy out of your pets by walking them or playing with them is so important for them to live a full life.
About: I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and different energy levels, and I always focus on making pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine as a nursing student because spending time with animals helps me stay active, reduce stress, and recharge mentally. Daily walks help me get my steps in, and being around dogs honestly makes even the busiest days better. I enjoy giving pets lots of attention, playtime, and care while keeping their routines consistent and owners updated. I grew up helping care for my mom’s dogs and now have a cat of my own who means everything to me. I also regularly care for my mom’s dogs when my family travels to Mexico, so I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and daily routines independently. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment.
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.
“Jorge went above and beyond to give my dog (German Shepherd 1yr old) a great walk. He even took him running as well. My dog was able to get all the energy out and was more manageable throughout the day. Thank you Jorge!”

About: I believe the best pet care starts with listening. With a 5-year-old German Shepherd (Niko) and a 7-year-old cat at home, I’ve spent years mastering the "silent language" of animals. Whether your pet is high-energy or shy, I prioritize reading their body language to ensure they feel safe, respected, and calm. Why Choose Me? • Large Breed Expert: Raising a GSD from a puppy means I’m confident and steady with big dogs. • Cat Savvy: Raised my cat from a kitten; I understand feline boundaries and "slow-burn" trust. • Bilingual Training: My pets are bilingual. I am happy to maintain your pet’s specific language or hand-signal commands to keep their training consistent. • Family Trusted: I’ve been my sister’s go-to caregiver for years because pets naturally gravitate toward my calm, gentle energy. My Promise: No force, no stress—just attentive, professional care tailored to your pet's unique personality. I work full-time from home, which allows me to be physically present and attentive throughout the day for pet owners who need overnight or house sitting needs. My remote setup offers the flexibility to take frequent breaks for potty runs, playtime, or mid-day walks to keep your pet’s routine on track. I am flexible to accommodate special weekday requests. Since I have my own fur baby at home (Niko), I am happy to coordinate a schedule that balances his needs but also giving your pet 100% of my focus. My goal is to provide a seamless, low-stress experience that makes your pet feel like you never left. I will build safety and trust in your home by strictly following your established routines and utilizing my deep understanding of animal body language. I believe in giving pets the space they need to approach me on their own terms, ensuring every interaction is rooted in consent and calm energy.

“Mercedes did an absolutely phenomenal job caring for my dog, Mugzy, during his first three-week stay with her. Mugzy can be incredibly nervous when separated from me, which made me highly anxious about leaving him with a sitter for the first time. Mercedes completely eased my worries with her warm, welcoming nature and exceptional organization.She gave Mugzy extra special attention, making him feel loved and completely at home. He had a wonderful time socializing with Mercedes and her children. Thanks to this experience, I feel entirely confident leaving him in her care for my upcoming travel.To top it all off, Mercedes baked delicious brownies for me, made special treats for Mugzy, and gave him a bath so he was fresh and clean at pickup. She even provided a detailed report card tracking his progress! I am incredibly grateful for Mercedes and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier care for their furry family member.”

“I had the pleasure of having Bola watch my dogs, Lady, Jasmine, and Vixen, after putting in a last-minute request. My dogs weren’t comfortable in their previous environment, and Bola went above and beyond to accommodate us. She was incredibly welcoming, nurturing, and made my dogs feel right at home. When they came back to the hotel for our last night, they were actually upset with me and didn’t even want me to love on them—clearly, they adored Bola! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies. Thank you, Bola, for being so amazing!”
“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!!”
“Ashley goes above and beyond for pets & their owners- dog parks, long walks, frequent updates, pictures & more!

Ashley has watched my dog for up to two weeks and it’s a relief to have him in such good hands. We’re so grateful for her services!”

“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’ll be looking to book Shani for my next trip away.”

“Bridget was amazing with our dog, Miller. Miller has separation anxiety and can be a hit or miss with sitters, but he warmed up to Bridget and her family right away. Great communication and felt extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend to let your dog stay with her family and pup of her own who is both adorable and friendly.”
