House Sitting Washington Park

“Victoria housesat and cared for our two cats for a short trip. She was attentive and communicative, bringing up concerns as they came up and offering suggestions, like thinking of whisker fatigue and being mindful of litter box behavior. Appreciate you taking good care of our kitties!”

“Evan was terrific - great with the dogs, good communicator, and he left the house in wonderful condition. We booked him at the last minute and would definitely book him again. Highly recommended.”

Cynthia H.

“Ava was wonderful with our 3 pups. She knew how to manage their chaos and treated them so sweetly. She left the place looking great and really just went above and beyond. We will definitely be using her services again.”

Gail S.

“Second time booking Jayden and once again they left everything immaculate, my pets were so well cared for, and the communication was fantastic. Will definitely book them again!”

Liz D.

“Zoe watched our sweet pup and her cousin for an evening. She was on time (early), friendly, and sweet.”

Colleen S.

“Claire was fantastic. From the moment we met her, she was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took exceptional care of my anxious dog, Balu, and we were so relieved to come home to a relaxed, happy dog. Claire kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She stayed in our home and left everything spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if she’s available.”

“Mia was incredible with my cat Stormie! We were able to quickly schedule a meet and greet for her to meet Stormie and I could already tell she genuinely cared. She asked questions about feeding, whether Stormie likes to sleep in the bed, daily routine, and took notes when I explained some food changes due to Stormie's sensitive stomach. It is VERY clear she does truly love and care for animals. We had Mia watch Stormie for the weekend and came back to the apartment being clean, litterboxes were empty and freshly cleaned, etc. Mia sent regular updates as well with photos and videos of Stormie so I knew that everything was going smoothly. She also sent messages regularly about how they were playing with toys, how Stormie was doing, etc. I 100% will book with Mia again as I truly never felt more comfortable with someone watching my baby before now.”

About: Taking care of dogs was the first job I ever had. Neighbors would have me come over after school to check in with their babies and play with them or take them on walks. I've also been lucky enough to watch people's dogs while they were out of town; including puppies! Most recently, I volunteered at an animal shelter where we would take animals for walks, train them, bathe them, and shower them with love and treats! Every dog is unique, and I enjoy taking the time to get to know each animal and their family. I am currently working part-time with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to accommodate specific schedules and adapt to individual needs. I always approach caring for animals with safety and respect as a first priority. It is important to me that both the dog and I are safe, and that I am attuned to their needs. I also want to prioritize respect for other people's space and time, so I make an effort to always be on time and adapt to any individual requests in people's homes.

“Elizabeth was so great! We were able to meet before the house sitting and went over the specifics of my dog. She gave me daily updates and let me know he was doing well which I really appreciated!! I would definitely book again ?”

“Jasmine did an amazing job house sitting with our pup. She clearly communicated the whole week and left the house spotless. Our dog was well taken care of and very relaxed when we returned. She sent updates and was a pleasure to work with. We would love to rebook Jasmine our next trip and highly recommend her!”

About: I have had 4 small dogs my whole life, but have also been a neighborhood pet sitter for dogs of all sizes for many years! I love all pups! I have Tuesdays and weekends off so I can spend the entire day with your pup while you’re away! We will go on walks and hang out outside :) I live in a dog friendly apartment. My apartment has a patio with access to a whole outdoor area where your pup can go potty and run around and sun bathe!

“We moved to Chicago just a few weeks before a two week trip to Australia, so needless to say we were a bit worried about leaving our cat. I got in touch with Nicole before we even moved and she was great right from the start. Throughout our trip, she sent pictures at least twice a day and was very communicative. She asked if her boyfriend could stay with her and since we were gone for two weeks, we agreed to that. They stayed at our apartment for two weeks and treated both our cat and our apartment with care. You could barely tell anyone had stayed there when we got back. I also left them a novel of instructions and they followed it all (although I could've been more clear on how many treats he should get, he got spoiled!). As soon as she got to our house at the start of our booking, our anxieties about leaving our cat were gone. Can't recommend booking Nicole enough.”

About: Welcome to my care profile! Thanks so much for your consideration. My name is Jasmine 🌻 I am a plantbased artist from Chicago whose main focus is about reconnecting and interweaving ourselves with nature to cultivate vitality and a cohesive social eco environment in which every being thrives in harmony. I am an enthusiastic world traveler, animal and nature lover committed to sharing joy and my authentic glow everywhere I go. As a seasoned holistic wellness consultant, caregiver, empowerment content creator, and community herbalist I work from home and close to the earth because I love to be outside and nurturing all living creatures. My main personal values center integrity with my inner wisdom, and connecting deeply with all that there is in my environment by sharing love & compassion to every being I encounter. I believe that everyone’s presence is a gift so I take the time to be in gratitude with all living beings I encounter moment by moment. When I was younger I always had a big heart and would care deeply for everyone and everything. I grew up with a guiñea pig, a fish, making friends with trees and babysitting my younger siblings and neighborhood children. I often visited my grandmama’s house to help her play with and care for her German Shepard. As a teenager I attended a rural farming school in Vermont and volunteered on many farms near Boston where I learned how to grow produce and raise livestock namely, cows, ducks, chickens, turkeys, and goats. While In Claremont California, I obtained my BA in Environmental Analysis Africana Studies and a Minor in Studio Art, studying the intrinsic interdependence and the ultimate beauty and creative web connections that support and maintain life. Additionally, I often took care of many of my friends' dogs (chihuahua and other medium mix breeds) while away on extended trips, namely playing with pets, walks, bathing, and poop time. In my 20’s I have had various house sitting opportunities to collect packages and tend for pets, cats, fish and gardens. Currently as a full time dog walker, herbalist and land steward, I feed the local wildlife, tend to an abundant native species garden and perform other domestic duties to maintain the beauty of the home. I believe that we are one with nature so connecting with nature is how we connect with ourselves. Also as an avid world traveler, I look forward to connecting with local animals and plants of any environment.

About: Hello!! My name is Julia I’m 23 and I love animals. Ever since I was little I’ve always had a special interest in nature and animas especially cats! One of my favorite childhood memories is rescuing feral kittens in my neighborhood and finding homes for them. In my teens years I started dog and cat sitting for friends and family and ever cared for horses and rabbits in my high schools FFA. As of now I’m a painter and artist with a lot of time on my hands and would love to spend some quality time with your pets! When staying with a pet I like to follow a schedule for potty and feeding times since familiar routines can calm pets that might be anxious around new people :)
