I cannot recommend Dimitri highly enough! He took amazing care of my cat, Tuna, while I was away for two weeks and truly went above and beyond in every way. He was incredibly attentive to Tuna’s needs and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for throughout my trip. He spent extra time with her when she needed company, made additional visits to open the window when the room got too warm, and was always thoughtful about her comfort and well-being. Dimitri was also excellent with communication. He kept me updated regularly, sent detailed messages, and gave me peace of mind knowing Tuna was in such good hands. He administered her medications reliably and on time, cleaned up accumulated pet hair, and kept her space tidy and comfortable. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. I came home to a happy, healthy cat, and I am so grateful for the care and attention he provided. I would absolutely trust him with Tuna again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and dedicated pet sitter.

Liz did a great job looking after my 2 cats. She was very reliable and communicative during my week long departure from the city. I had great peace of mind while away knowing she would be there daily to check up on my cats. The daily photos she sent left me reassured that my fur babies were doing ok. She was also quick to respond to texts, which helped further ease my stress. I have 2 very shy cats and she managed to do well with them. I came back and they were both very happy to see me, no issues with either. I would definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a sitter, she’s a total life saver!

About: I am truly a dog lover with years of experience walking, feeding, and caring for dogs of various sizes and personalities. I am dedicated to treating your furry family member like my very own, ensuring they receive the highest level of care, comfort, and companionship. My schedule is highly open and flexible to provide consistent, dedicated support whenever your pet needs it most. The only exception is a brief daily window from 12:00 PM to 12:30 PM for a recurring client. Because I strictly provide one-on-one care and never mix dogs from different households, your pet is guaranteed my full, undivided attention during their walk. Taking care of your furry friend is the highlight of my day! I am a timely, organized, and consistent person. I am able to follow all instructions, routine, and accommodate your schedule so you feel supported. I provide safety, comfort, and care for your pet! My attention is always 100% your dog and our surroundings. During walks, I always keep your dog securely leashed, and I do not permit interactions with other dogs to ensure a controlled, stress-free environment.

About: I’ve owned dogs from 6lb to 120lb, cared for sick and elderly dogs (including IVDD, experienced with medications including fluids via IV), loved dogs of all kinds my entire life! Your dogs will need to get along with my 2, and you can expect walks in fenced Warren Park, frequent potty breaks, and photo updates from me. We are dachshund lovers so we have stairs and ramps all over the house so the shortest pups can safely reach couches and beds. My partner Ben is a big help, and we would love to know everything about your precious pup’s personality to make sure they feel right at home with us and make the transition smooth. Hope to meet you and your furry one soon. I work part time and remotely. Weekends are hit and miss, but Mon/Tues/Thurs/Fri are open for dog care! Wed/Sat/Sun are dependent on current schedule. Any Qs, shoot me a message! My friendly pups will socialize with yours, and both are great at napping all day, too. Our potty breaks are every 2-4 hours, or sooner if your pup has special needs. We have a potty bell here, so if you use it at home you’re in luck (and Finn has been known to teach younger pups this skill). We walk daily a 1-mile loop in fenced Warren park, if that’s something your dog enjoys.

About: I have been a career nanny in Chicago for the last 10 years- which gives me a ton of experience caring for not only my families children but also their pets!! I will be home full time in the fall as my current families kiddos are heading to full day school! My son is officially a big kid & ready for his pre K-4! Rather than looking for a new family I’d love to try something new- animals have been a big part of my life, my entire life! My Pomsky pup Yogi is the BEST playmate- he currently goes to day care and has had a dog sitter since we brought him home last year! He loves all people and animals and would truly love to play with any doggy friend! We are in a 2 Flat with a fenced in yard- yogi and I go on hour long walks in the neighborhood & frequent dog parks in the city! Happy to include doggy field trips if you are looking for that service- a tired pup is a happy pup!!! But also happy to hang home and allow play in the front yard or nearby walks😆 happy to travel for walks and care in your home as well! Extremely flexible and will have a lot of free time in the upcoming months! Look forward to chatting soon!

About: Hi! I have a flexible schedule and love being able to structure my days around care work. As a social worker, I’m reliable, attentive, and calm in all kinds of situations. If my calendar doesn’t line up, message me anyway – I’m usually happy to try to make it work. I’m a lifelong caretaker (former teacher, child care provider, babysitter, and current servant to four cats). I grew up with dogs and have experience with everyone from wildly energetic puppies to senior pups who need a slower pace and extra patience. I’m very comfortable with pet quirks. Food warmed for exactly two seconds? Specific petting rules? Emotional support hair tie? I get it. As a cat mom, nothing surprises me. Whether your pet wants long walks, playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they’re safe, loved, and very well looked after. I have the most availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I also have some AM and PM availability so it’s easy for me to fit pet care into my day. When I’m caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to follow their normal routine so they feel comfortable and safe. I make sure they get the right amount of food, playtime, walks, and attention based on their needs and personality. I also like to check in with photo or text updates so you know how they’re doing.
