“Haley did an awesome job caring for my senior cat Hector! She's very professional, very thorough and super caring! Can't say enough good things about Haley! Very highly recommended!”
“10/10 will be calling Audrey back if I have to leave town again! A true animal lover, so caring and thoughtful. She has absolutely eased my anxiety being away from my cat and leaving him alone for the first time since his sister died. I couldn’t have asked for better care.”
“Jahnia is incredible with my girl. My dog doesn't respond well to all humans but she adores Jahnia. I get many pictures, updates and am sure my girl is spoiled when Jahnia is checking on her. Jahnia is timely, responsive and really kind. I lucked out!”
“Our cats are obsessed with Anna - and so are we! 💯💯💯 We're so grateful to have found Anna! This was her second time watching our cats, Mermaid and Medusa, and she was fantastic once again. Anna has a truly special gift with animals - she connects with each cat's unique personality and knows exactly how to make them feel loved, safe, and happy. What sets Anna apart is her intuition. She understood immediately what makes our girls tick and got them excited and engaged in all the right ways. She even got Medusa to play with her favorite toy and kept us updated with photos, responses, and detailed updates about their food, playtime, snacks, and happiness. She went the extra mile in every way. When we came home, Mermaid and Medusa seemed genuinely happier and more relaxed, which says everything about the quality of care Anna provides. She's warm, personable, communicative, and clearly does this work because she truly loves animals. Anna is a rare find and a true gift. We're pretty sure Mermaid and Medusa are actively conspiring about ways to get rid of us so they can have Anna back again! Thank you so very much for everything. Sincerely, Rebecca, Ronnie, Mermaid🧜🏻♀️, & Medusa 🐍”

“Madison took care of our cat Sasha when we had to go out of town. She was punctual and did exactly what we asked. We will definitely get her help next time we have the need.”
“I can't recommend Morgan enough! She took amazing care of my 2 dogs while I was away and followed every instruction perfectly. She made sure they got plenty of attention and even played fetch with my golden during every visit, which she absolutely loved. After it rained and the dogs tracked mud through the house, she even went above and beyond by mopping my floors without being asked. It's clear she truly cares about the pets she watches, and takes pride in doing a good job. I felt completely at ease 200 miles away knowing they were in such great hands, and I'll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Alyssa is the best. I always know Rocky and Neko are taken care of and will have a lot of fun playing. And the special gift bags she leaves are always perfect! 10 stars.”
“Gage did a great job for us watching our two dogs. He was there for all the scheduled times and did a fantastic job giving them their meds and getting them to eat. I would recommend Gage to anyone and plan on using him again each time we need a dog sitter.”
“Liz was awesome! She had watched my baby once before, and it was great to have her watching him again. She was considerate and communicative, and kept me informed of how he was doing. He is difficult to give insulin to, so the constant communication helped to make sure I could get help if needed. 10/10!”
About: I have had animals throughout my life and have learned how different pet personalities can be. I spent many years carrying for a senior dog. She could barely see, hear, or walk, but enjoyed life right ‘til the end. I also have three cats, a puppy and two house rabbits. So I have knowledge on many different types of animals, and look forward to meeting yours. I’m taking online class,(leaning towards veterinary assistance), and therefore have a flexible schedule for your pet’s walking and sitting needs and take the time to really get to know them Since I have a full house at home, I provide drop ins and walks instead of boarding. i’ll make sure your pets feel comfortable in their own space, and I’ll treat your home with respect and care every step of the way.

She gave us details on her visit and great pictures. We will be happy to have her come back and walk our pup.”
About: I loved sharing my life with my beautiful yorkie of 13 years. I also love "babysitting" my "fur-grandkids". Now that I am retired and no longer have my special companion, I want to share my love with other people's pups including "seniors" who need extra special care. I make personalized meals, give medications, and know how to chill with a pup to ease some anxieties. I'm currently retired , and prefer daytime hours with flexibility. My weekends are also available and flexible to suit needs. I can prepare meals and give medications. I pet sit my "fur grand babies" at their homes, giving them opportunities to be outdoors whenever the weather permits. Whether tossing a ball or toy or just chilling, we always have a good time.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was in 9th grade (13 years old). i have taken care or dogs ranging from a Jack Russel mix to owning a Cane Corso. I have also had training from professionals on how to handle larger breeds and I love taking time to train dogs and see them grow and learn new things. I have been relied on by many friends to help them train their dogs and dog sit, rather it be to let them out to pee, feed and water their dog, to staying overnight for a week. I currently am gone for work from 530am to 230/300pm. I do however have roommates at the house during these times that can help watch your fur babies! I have a larger back yard that is fenced in and a friendly dog currently at my home. I also have 2 cats that are very friendly and as most cats, they do their own thing. I also have space to put crates in my garage and in the first room if needed. Although my dog does have a kennel, he doesn't get locked up during the day. I do however require pets to be kennel trained and come with a kennel for me to be able to watch them.
About: I have had dogs since I was a young kid and now have one of my own. Over the years I have trained her to do some tricks (minimal!) and she is a very well behaved dog. I have a remote-work schedule leaving flexibility to walk, play, cuddle, and care for your dog. This schedule leaves extra time in my routine to care for another animal and share the love I have for animals. I’m currently working remotely and have time throughout my day to check in on your pet. I am available to come anytime throughout the day. I live in an apartment complex so have the common spaces to walk your dog throughout. I will follow any instructions you provide me for where your pet feels most comfortable in your home/neighborhood.
About: I absolutely love taking care of pets, especially dogs! I have a lot of energy to keep all dogs entertained. I have dog sitted before and absolutely enjoyed it. Seeing the dogs get excited when you show them the leash or even just show up is the best feeling ever! I try to get to know each dog as best as I can. If a dogs is super hyper and likes to go on runs, then I will do it. If a dog likes to walk at a slower pace, then we will walk at that pace. Each dog is special in their own way. I can also help clean any part of the house while watching over the dogs, if any help is needed. I am currently working during the week ( Monday- Friday) but I am free on anytime during the weekends. For Monday-Friday it just depends when you will need me and I can adjust. I can care for your pet in your own if they are more comfortable. Or I can have them in my own which has a fenced in yard.
About: I’ve always had a dog in my home growing up, I even trained my family’s current household dog, a German Shepherd, when she was a puppy. I have experience pet sitting all shapes and sizes of dogs but have more experience in medium-large sized breeds, I love them all! I’m currently not working as I’m finishing up my EMT academy/certification while also in school full time. I’m using this as income for the time being. Unfortunately with my grumpy cat I am not able to board pets in my home but am more than willing to stop by and visit your fur baby when needed!

I tend to bring new toys and treats to earn the pet’s favor. I will love them like they are my own while you are gone!

About: Hi, I'm a local pet owner and carer in the North Chicago area looking to serve all of your pet sitting needs. I love animals, having cared for several cats and dogs of my own since 2008. Larger dogs are not an issue for me as I have owned and cared for an Akita in the past. I am concientious with regard to special care for your pet and love going for long walks. I enjoy playing and running with your pup for both strength and growth. I am also careful about communication with you about the pet's progress and health. My attention to detail and patience will allow me to assess and provide what your pet enjoys most about play-time and keep up with them throughout the daily routines. Looking forward to hearing from you! I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of walking time available. Playtime for my dogs looks like walking and fetch at the park and for my cats, fishing poles and string. I am available to sit your pets within your home. I have an excellent track record with cleanliness and good stewardship both of pets, whose care is primary, and homes.
