Top rated West Ridge house sitters

“Emily was amazing with our two dogs, Crosby and Ash. She was incredibly responsive and communicative throughout the entire stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Emily clearly showed a lot of empathy and care for our dogs, and it was obvious they felt comfortable and happy with her. We also felt completely at ease having her in our home. We’d absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and kind sitter.”


“Andrea was amazing with our dog Maya! She was so flexible with our schedule even as it got closer to the dates she was sitting. She communicated well and often before and during so that we felt comfortable. Highly recommend her!”


“Andi was fantastic! -- excellent & easy communication in advance and thru the stay. My dog and house were well cared for. Fun photos. My dog can have a lot of energy outside and I felt like he was in great confident caring hands. Would definitely rebook and highly recommend!”


“Jamie was very responsive and had great communication! He was patient with my nervous dog and took time to let him warm up. He left the house clean and in good condition and we will be happy to have him back!”


“Elizabeth was excellent! Our dog is a little anxious and chaotic when we leave town, but he seemed calm and content to be hanging out with Elizabeth. She shared lots of updates and I felt relaxed knowing our dog was in good hands. Thank you Elizabeth!”


“I liked Hanna from the get-go. She paid close attention when I showed her around, giving me confidence she’d know what to do. She sent photos and updates and clearly the cats were comfortable with her. She even managed to put them in their outdoor enclosure, which is one of their favorite things. Hanna left my house tidy and clean. No complaints!”


“Andre did a wonderful job with our two fur babies. He kept in communication with us throughout our trip and sent daily pictures. Both our home and pets were well cared for throughout his stay. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was in its place. We are thrilled to find another person who cares for Davey & Stevie as much as we do!”


“Cole is beyond amazing! He took care of our dog, Marshmallow, for over a week while we were out of the country and I received daily messages with fabulous updates and wonderful pictures. Marshmallow seemed happy and comfortable with him upon our return. He also was kind enough to do things like water some plants and he left the house in perfect condition – every knife was in its correct position in the knife block! 😊 Marshmallow and I look forward to having him back in the future.”



“Adam was prompt, friendly, and loved our pups (a sentiment they returned). He took great care of them and we had no worries about leaving them in his care for our week-long trip out of town. He is reliable and gives timely information. We will definitely hire him again.”


“Lauren was communicative, professional, and took good care of my cat while I was away! Miso's needs were well attended to and I came back to a clean home. Would highly recommend and definitely book again in the future!”


“Joey did such a wonderful job watching our Sherlock! We were a bit nervous since we recently adopted him and he sometimes has some behavioral issues as he adjusts to his new environment. However, he was left in such calm and capable hands with Joey- he did such a good job walking/running him a lot and sounds like all went very well. Based on our convos before, Joey seemed to really “get it” and the needs of a dog still adjusting. We also loved receiving a ton of videos and updates!”


“We just returned home from a weekend away where Sydney house-sat our Dee Dee, and have nothing but great things to say about the experience! Sydney left numerous notes and photos, and we came home to a very happy doggle; she also took great care of the house. So 5-stars for Sydney: she’s definitely a Rover superstar!!!”



“Chris was fabulous with our dogs and they adored her! She is very kind, polite and easy to work with. You can definitely tell from her questions that she has experience dog sitting. Such a great fit for our two angels - we will be calling upon Chris again!!”


“Sofia took great care of my pup while I was gone! She was great at communicating how my dog was and I was very pleased with the care she provided. I will definitely use her services in the future and recommend her as an excellent dog sitter.”


“Serena was a great sitter for our zoo. She was very attentive to their needs, gave us multiple updates with photos per day, and let us know anything and everything that was going on with them. She took great care of our house while we were gone and went above and beyond leaving it in the ideal condition for us returning from vacation. We would absolutely book with Serena again and our animals would look forward to it.”


“LeChar was wonderful with our dog. She gave her specialized attention and I had no worries while out of the country even though Chicago was going through a terrible heatwave. In addition, LeChar was very flexible with some things that I appreciated, and the house looked great when I arrived home. Grateful to have her as a dog sitter and would definitely re-book in the future.”


“Terrific communicator and incredible with dogs! Great vibes all around and really appreciated all the updates and pics sent throughout the experience. Highly recommend Ismy and will absolutely use again in the future.”


“Sonia did a great job with Finn! She kept in close contact and provided daily updates on how he was doing. She takes great care and and consideration to her approach and is clearly knowledgeable in her pet care. I will definitely book again!”
