Top rated Washington Park house sitters

“Jayden was absolutely phenomenal! Our dog Calypso is very skittish with new people, and in the past, sitters have struggled to get her outside for potty breaks because she was too scared. Jayden was able to take Callie out a mere four hours after we left. Callie warmed up to them very quickly and snuggled a bunch, which is no small feat on Jayden's part. Jayden was very communicative and sent multiple updates a day, including photos and videos. They were quick to respond to messages, and they left our home spotless. I would love to book with them again for future trips!”


“Malcolmn was amazing and made my trip so peaceful. He sent many pictures a day with detailed notes on their day. I really appreciate the job he’s done”


“Alexa did a wonderful job taking care of our dog in our home over a long holiday weekend. She was communicative, made sure Beau got his walks and play time, left our home clean and our dog happy. She followed our instructions on everything and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. We hope our dog wasn’t too crazy for her, but we would gladly welcome her back! So grateful we found Alexa.”


“Jordan was absolutely amazing - great energy, reliable, and lovely to work with overall. She stayed at our house and took care of our sweet (and stubborn) girl River while we were on vacation. We received daily updates and we felt super comfortable and reassured that River was in great hands. I could not recommend her enough and definitely plan to hire Jordan again!”


“Nicole was superb: friendly, prompt, communicative, and most of all, really great with our two puppies. They got more walks with her than they have in a very long time! She sent videos, photos, and updates each day, which we really appreciated. Will absolutely book her again.”


“Shakira is the absolute best and just a amazing lady! This was my first time hes I g him with a stranger. Both she and Benzo fell in love with each other and he was looking sad when she left. She took good care of my boy and kept me updated on his activities during the day. Couldn’t ask for a better experience or sitter for my puppy. Do not hesitate ti book her if she’s available; you won’t regret it I promise. She is a dog whisperer!!?”


“Danielle was absolutely wonderful! She was on time and extremely communicative during her stay with my pup. He was well taken care of and I could tell through his photos that he was having the best time. I will definitely be leveraging her again to watch my pup.”


“Otis was incredible! He sent many updates, pictures, and kept our apartment so clean it was if no one stayed here! Our dog certainly isn’t the easiest to watch, but we felt comfortable the entire time due to how communicative Otis was. He is well experienced, and someone I recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”


“Emily was terrific. She arrived promptly, communicated well, sent us photos and updates about our pup, and was patient with our dog, who takes some time to get used to new people. Highly recommended.”

“Samantha was great! She really saved us when we were put in a bind by a last minute cancellation by another sitter. She sent us daily updates and pictures of our pups, and endured their puppy energy. We came home to a clean house and happy puppies. We would definitely book Samantha again!”

“We’ve got one special needs dog and two elderly cats that need very specific diets and medications. We’ve also got one more dog and cat! Brianna came in at the last minute for us to take care of everyone and after getting home it’s clear how much love everyone got from her thank you so much for taking such great care of everyone and sitting for us.”

“Jillian did a great job house sitting with Luna. She kept in great communication during our seven days absence. We would not hesitate to use Jillian again soon.”



About: I've always taken care of dogs since I was seven. At one point I even had three dogs and a cat all at the same time. It was kind of hectic but I loved them all equally. I've always been responsible and the sole care giver of all the pets in the house. Feeding and walking the dogs were always my responsibility and they still are 12 years later. I am currently taking a semester off from college so my schedule is mostly free. Any time after 12 PM I am free to take care of your pets. After I start the summer semester my schedule might change though. I will diligent and detail oriented with the instructions you give me and follow any tiype of special care or requirements that your furry baby needs.


“Jonah dog sat Cinnamon and he did a great job with her! I appreciate the daily updates while I was away and that he kept my place tidy. Thank you, Jonah! I will be calling Jonah again in the future.”


“Viola made us feel so comfortable and at ease with her care for Champ AND our home. She is an inherent pet lover and nurturer and she makes sure she goes above and beyond to make both you and your pet feel safe. She even cleaned up the apartment before leaving without us even asking! We will definitely be asking her back to watch our “son”.”


“Daniel is a prompt communicator, which is great. He took care to put my dog’s booties on when it got really hot outside for walks. I received photos when requested.”


About: With 10 years of experience in childcare, I’ve also cared for pets as part of the families I’ve worked with, as well as through pet sitting and house sitting. From feeding, walking, and playtime to providing companionship and ensuring pets feel safe and loved, I treat every animal like part of the family. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic pup, a shy cat or making sure a home and its furry residents are well cared for, I bring reliability, warmth, and attention to detail to every job! Pet care fits naturally into my routine through pet sitting, house sitting, and drop-in visits. I can provide overnight care when families travel, schedule walks and check-ins during my free time, and offer evening or weekend care when needed. Since I have a background in childcare, I’m also experienced in caring for pets alongside families, making it an easy and natural part of my work. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or providing companionship, I love ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I ensure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise through walks or playtime. I also provide companionship, whether it’s cuddles, enrichment activities, or simply keeping them company. For pets with special needs, I follow any medication or care instructions carefully. I maintain a clean environment by tidying up after meals, accidents, or shedding. If I’m house sitting, I also take care of basic home tasks like bringing in mail and keeping the space secure. My goal is to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.
