“Tara is fabulous with my cat. I appreciated how much time and energy she spent playing with Jim Catsby. She sent me awesome photos and a video of their time together. Tara really cares about Jim, and leaving him happy. I’m grateful for her passion for pets and their care. She is motivated to give our pets the best experience possible.”

“Lizbeth is a life saver! She was able to help me take care of my 10 year old German Shepard at a last minute notice and she took such good care of him. She kept in constant communication and send pictures with updates and how my dog was doing. She went out of her way to take very good care of him and I came back home to a happy doggo. She’s highly recommended and I will definitely be using her services in the future.”

“Kathryn went above and beyond taking care of ALL our animals. We received pictures and updates daily. Our pets always looked so relaxed and peaceful in all the pictures. We had a stress free vacation knowing all our babies were well taken care of. We highly recommend Kathryn and will definitely use her again in the future.”

“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.”

“Tatyanna, took such good care of our girls! She had great communication with us throughout our entire stay and really went above and beyond to make the pups comfortable and well looked after.”

“Athena was amazing! Our girls had so much fun & were very well taken care of. She also sent plenty of pictures and updates! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better!”

“I cannot say enough great things about Lauren. She provided the BEST care for my old Great Pyrenees and made my week away from her peaceful due to her multiple daily updates (where I knew my pup was being taken care of & being loved). Lauren is communicative, kind, obviously incredibly knowledgeable of animal care, diligent, and truly treats your animals & home like they are hers. I will 100% be using Lauren again and I couldn’t be more glad to have found her!”

About: I grew up in a household full of pets and have been lucky to live with people who also own pets, sharing the responsibility. Over the years, I've taken care of many dogs and several cats, rodents (guinea pigs and hamsters), hermit crabs, and fish. I have mostly owned small dogs and have been lucky to see them mature into their senior years, so I am familiar with the unique challenges that can come with age. I do feel comfortable walking and caring for dogs of any size. Right now, my family is fostering two 6-week old puppies who need lots of attention and care, so I am learning a lot about puppies. While I haven't yet charged for my services, I have been trusted by friends, family, and community members since I was 15 to pet-sit and house-sit. I graduated from college a year ago and have been bouncing around a lot, working ground control at music festivals. Between festivals, I need a place to stay, so I am especially looking for house-sitting opportunities to spend my time and have furry friends keeping me company. Other than sits and drop-ins, I'm not working, so I can give your loved ones the time and attention they deserve. I am big into travel, so I've met and lived with animals around the world. I've volunteered at shelters in the Bay Area, SoCal, and Louisiana. I was most recently living on a horse ranch in Georgia (the country) and took care of 2 farm dogs and a kitten. They were very independent and mostly required food, water, and serious cuddles. On the other hand, I've watched pets of various temperaments that had strict diets, medication schedules, and mental and physical health needs. I know every animal is different, and I'm happy to do all I can to care for yours just as you would. If your pet needs to sleep in bed with someone at night or other specific requests, I can do that. I will also be exploring Chicago for the first time, so if your dog has any favorite parks or routes, I would love to know!

About: I’ve have taken care of pets before as I do have a dog myself and I have also looked over and cared for cats cause anytime family is away anytime I look over them. I’m currently in summer break from college and I been spending time with my dog and making sure he goes outside and I also have time to make appointments for him such as vet visits or showers. In my house we have a gate and we always the gate close so my dog doesn’t get out. I also have the a/c running most of the time so my dog could chill as summer is coming around the corner. I always make sure he has food and water.

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: I’ve had pets ever since I can remember, from dogs to birds! I’ve taken care of pups to senior dogs with so much care. They deserve all the love, all the cuddles and all the safety in the world. I can play with your pets all day long, they are supervised at all the times by two caregivers! They’d have lots of fun playing outside! I have a whole basement dedicated for pups and cats to have their own space, to play around in, and to sleep peacefully! I have a fenced yard where they can also be and run around in!

“Nicole is so sweet and communicative! She was quick to respond from the first message I sent her inquiring about her availability. She took good care of our pups and would be happy to have her watch our girls again!”

“Laura stayed at our house for 2 days while we were out of town- took care of an older cat and dog, plus 2 box turtles. She was very attentive to their needs, took great care of them. The pets appeared very happy with her ! I also appreciated that she texted me photos and updates. She is a very nice person, I will ask her again to pet sit .”

Katherine D.

“Cristian was communicative, professional, and patient with my pup! He kept me updated on his comings and goings and how my dog was doing throughout the day. Would recommend!”

Hilary K.

“Haley was amazing! She accommodated a last minute boarding for my two dogs and gave great updates all weekend. She did a great job and I would book again!”

Zachary N.

“Kat took amazing care of Doby and my apartment while I was away. She shared photos, communicated well, and even waited for me until I got home! Doby was happy and well cared for, and my place was just as I left it (even cleaner! )I’ll definitely book her again. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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.”

Alexandra E.

“Grace is the best cat sitter we’ve ever had! She sends timely updates and photos, is super responsive, and our cats seem to be really comfortable around her. She is also really respectful of our apartment and always take the time to take out the trash and recycling and clean up before she heads out. I would trust my cats with anyone else!”

Aleksandra S.

“Rowan was excellent with my husky! He came over to meet her and familiarize himself with her routine, and he was very great with communicating his schedule and giving me updates on my dog. Would highly recommend Rowan!”
