Pet Sitting West Ridge

“Ellie was very prompt and on time for our initial couple of meetings and the drop in as well. She did very well with our 4 crazy kids and we will use her services again in the future.”

“Liz is the best! My two furkids love her, and she always keeps me informed on how they’re doing. It’s very reassuring while you’re away knowing that your kiddos are not only in good hands, but in the hands of someone you know really cares for them. Highly recommend!”

“Shante was very understanding of Dexter’s situation and was very informative & knowledgeable on how to care for him. Definitely recommend using Shante to care for your cats! I’m so happy Dexter has a new friend!”

“Parisa was wonderful with my sweet baby while I was gone. She is so good with cats. She also kept me updated, sent me pictures and when I got back I found my place to be still in order and the litter box to be very clean! I will definitely be asking her back!”

Liz H.

“Morgan checked in on our cats and they loved her! I appreciated knowing they were getting care and attention and treats. She was good about communication and directions on where things are, etc. Would definitely ask her to watch them again!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. My best friend Murphy, and before that Cricket and Benji. I love dogs and cats, and I am quick to form bonds with them. Whether that be with friends/family, or my years taking care of the neighborhood pets while their families were out of town. I have plenty of experience with animals of all age groups and sizes. I have a special fondness for older doggies, and understand that they may require some extra care and love. My only schedule constraints are my full-time undergrad classes, but my classes are spaced out throughout the day. If we talk through a schedule beforehand I can almost always make it work. I’m very patient with dogs, and I understand that unfamiliar faces can be scary for them—especially when their parents are away. I give lots of love, and I am experienced with positive reinforcement training. I never get mad or upset, and I’ve learned that my emotions often influence theirs. Your pets are your heart, I completely understand that. I’ll treat them like the precious parts of your lives that they are.

“Thomas did an incredible job watching my mischievous kittens. He took their shenanigans in stride like a pro while I was out of town. I could rest assured that they were fed entertained and cared for. I would definitely consider Thomas in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and size's. Friends, neighbors, and family often rely on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with senior dogs, energetic puppies, and pets with special routines. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight care, I always treat every pet like my own. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide morning, midday, and evening visits during the week. Weekends are open for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I’m responsible, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands. I live in a pet-friendly apartment that’s clean, safe, and comfortable for your furry friend. I take frequent walks and make sure pets get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I’m very mindful of leash safety, secure entrances, and keeping pets calm in new environments. Whether your dog loves outdoor strolls or prefers cozy naps, I make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for.

“I was really nervous about leaving my pug Maui with a pet sitter because the last time I boarded him at a kennel, he unfortunately lost his eye. After reading all of Eli’s positive reviews, I decided to give him a chance, and I’m so glad I did. Eli was amazing. He was super responsive, very on top of everything, and truly cared about Maui. You can tell he takes what he does seriously and wants both the pets and owners to feel comfortable. Maui absolutely loved him! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Maui was in good hands. I would definitely use Eli again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. 🐾”

“Raya was lovely and helped me out in a last minute need for a drop-in and medication for my cat. Easy to communicate with and did a great job. Definitely keeping her in mind for future needs!”

Leah B.

“Coral went above and beyond as a pet sitter. She was friendly, kind, patient, and paid a great amount of attention and effort to taking care of our pet as her own. Her expertise with a wide range of cats including seniors was very important to my selection of her and it's apparent she loves our pet and isn't merely doing the minimum. She made full use of her time with Kirby by being efficient with administering medicine, cleaning, feeding, and always making time to play with him over three days and followed a consistent schedule. She also thoughtfully brought in our packages. Her communication is stellar and I am very comfortable having her in my home and handling my pet. You'd be lucky to get her services!”

Ziyin W.

“Kit was incredibly thoughtful and made sure to ask me questions about my pets’ needs that hadn’t even occurred to me to share. She sent lots of pictures and updates on my cats throughout my trip so I knew they were well taken care of. Could not recommend her more!!”

Josephine K.

“This is the fourth time we’ve had Brenda watch our cats. She has been professional reliable, and responses. We will definitely be having her watch the cats again; thanks Brenda.!”

J A.

“Great work with our dog each and every visit. Great attention to detail and always leaves helpful summaries or what went well and of any concerns.”

Marcel G.

“Cheryl was amazing, she communicated if anything was needed. My cats loved them. Will be booking her soon again on our next trip.”

About: I’ve been working with animals professionally since I was 19 — I’m now 27. Over the years, I’ve worked as a vet assistant, a professional groomer, and at a pet store, gaining hands-on experience with animals of all kinds. These days, my main focus is boarding, walking, and house sitting — and it’s something I genuinely love doing. What sets my care apart is the family-style experience I offer. When your dog stays with me, they aren’t just being watched — they’re becoming part of our daily life. It’s usually me, my young son, and my partner Brian. We go on nature walks, play outside, and include your dog in everything like they’re part of the crew. This isn’t just pet sitting — it’s a second home. I’ve found that so many dogs (and their humans) are looking for that feeling of safety, love, and belonging — even if they haven’t put it into words yet. That’s exactly what I try to create here. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities — including shy rescues, high-energy pups, and seniors. I’m trained in animal behavior, have my own vehicle, and can adapt to your dog’s specific needs and temperament. 🚗 Please note: For boarding in my home, dogs must be comfortable around kids and okay with cats, since we do have both. I want everyone (human and animal) to feel safe and relaxed. Whether your pup needs playtime, quiet time, cuddles, or space, I always meet them where they are — with patience, love, and respect. I work from home part time, so your fur baby will fit in perfectly with my schedule. I am looking for something to do that will occupy more of my time, and what better way than to spend it with a new furry friend to love?! I have a fenced yard and a friendly cat who is more like a dog. I can keep him separate if ever needed. My house is a little over 1,300 sq ft so there’s plenty of space. If you need your pet to be crated I am comfortable with that. As well as if any medication is needed to be given or frequent walks. I will always respect the home of the pet and owner. Just point me where I need to go with some guidance regarding you fue baby’s routine, you are in great hands!

About: I'm a dog walker and cat sitter for a professional service - this is for anyone seeking services outside of their Uptown/Andersonville/Edgewater service area! Beyond extensive experience walking reactive dogs, I'm a longtime cat foster and shelter volunteer, and I'm experienced giving medications of all sorts. I currently work from home on my consulting business, so I can pretty easily arrange my schedule around any pet visits and walks. I have a car, and can also bike or take transit. I have a separate space in my home for foster animals and temporary pet guests. Your pet would have access to their own space, comfy spots to hang out, and plenty of visits and attention.

“I recommend Tony and will rehire.”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I have worked in an animal shelter and vet clinic as a veterinary assistant caring for a variety of animals. I have had the privilege of fostering 100 animals (mostly neonatal and orphaned kittens!). I currently have three cats and an 18 year old Crested Gecko. Two of my cats are fosters that never left- both have cererbellar hypoplasia, or better known as wobbly cat syndrome! I have pet sat for many kinds of animals including cats, dogs, guinea pigs and reptiles. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Please note: I do not use flexi/retractible leashes to ensure safety. I am happy to bring my own slip lead or standard leash. Please, let me know if you have questions! I work from home and have a flexible schedule! I typically have afternoons and weekends free. I would love to learn more about what your pet’s specific care needs are! I want to hear all about your pet! What do they like, what don’t they like? What are their quirks and preferences? I want to learn about them because I want to make sure I am caring for them the way you would.
