Pet Sitting West Town

About: I’ve taken care of my own family’s dog and others for friends and family over the last 6 years, including walking, feeding, bathing, and just giving a little love! I am a new resident in Chicago very much missing my family and friends dogs back home. I work remotely, so I’m available for walks or drop-in visits most days of the week and sometimes on the weekends. My availability is usually updated on the calendar to reflect any weekends where I’m out of town or have full day commitments. Outside of those circumstances, I’m also available to board in my own apartment. I work remotely, so I’ll be home most of the day during the week to cuddle and play with your pup. On the weekends, I’m a bit more in and out, but I’ll adjust my schedule accordingly to be able to take them out at least 3 times per day or take them with me on adventures where possible! I do live on the third floor, so they’ll need to be okay with stairs or small enough to carry. I sadly don’t have any pets of my own, but that means no need to worry about interactions with other pets inside the home.

“Stephanie did a great job watching Knox and made sure to spend extra time with him knowing we were away for a while. I would definitely recommend her to others looking for a pet sitter!”

About: Animals have always been huge in my life. I grew up spending much of my time on a farm, and these days I share an apartment with my cat, Pierre. I also had my two beloved dogs, Joe and Alice, who lived to almost 16, and I was a primary caregiver through their senior years. Beyond my own pets, I’ve worked at a pet daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments in a group setting. I’ve also been the trusted go-to dog walker and pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors for years. Whether your pet is a chill senior, an energetic puppy or somewhere I between, I tailor my care to your pets’ needs. I’m happiest when I’m around animals, reliable, and will treat your pet like family. I work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible. I can accommodate some mid-day visits, and am generally available in the mornings, evenings and weekends. I’m extremely respectful of others’ spaces and will treat your home and pet with love and care. When entering a new space with a pet who is unfamiliar with me, I am patient and calm. I will review any instructions thoroughly and follow them.

About: I grew up with a dog and started dog walking/sitting for neighbors and friends in middle school. I’m young and active so long walks and play time will be no problem! I have a lot of patience along with my love for dogs; I’ll take my time with your dog from puppies to seniors :) I mostly work from home throughout the week so I have a lot of flexibility to drop in and go on walks. Wednesdays and Thursdays are typically more busy. On the weekends I love to do outdoor activities, so I’d love to work your pup in with walks and play dates. I have a bike and I’m located near bus stops and train stations. I’m more than happy to come to you and I will be extremely respectful of your space and rules. I also have a pet friendly apartment with a couple of roommates (2000 sqft for your dog to roam in).

“Per usual, Cris is the best! We can count on her to take the best care of our kitties. Changing water filters, brushing them, giving them treats and even changing batteries of our carbon monoxide detector while were away!”

“Alexis is a great sitter. She spent several days taking care of our two cats while we were on vacation. The cats were well looked after, enjoyed their time with Alexis, and her timely communication left us at ease while we were away. We definitely plan on using her again in the future.”

“Lisa is amazing! She cared for our sweet noodle as if it was her own. It was our first time using Rover, and Lisa made it an easy and seamless process so we could leave town and know our cat was in great hands. Thank you!”

Allie C.

“Megan was incredibly punctual and communicative, and my cat Olive loved playing with her! This was Olives first weekend alone, and having Megan check in on her made it much less stressful for everyone!”

Alexis W.

“Kristyna is a very careful, flexible and communicative sitter. We had a family emergency while traveling and we couldn’t have been able to make it through without her help. She sends regular updates and our kitties are very comfortable with her. We so appreciate her hard work and diligence!”

Amanda R.

“Lindsay has been so amazing with our puppy Bellam! She’s responsive, communicates well, and follows instructions to a T. Never fails to tire him out so he just sleeps for as long as he can until we get home.”

Sailesh R.

“Caline has completed many drop-in visits for our cats at this point and she always does an amazing job! This time, we had to adjust the responsibilities/schedule due to some changes in travel plans and she was great in being flexible : )”

About: Growing up with many types of dogs, from Labrador Retrievers to French Bulldogs, has given me a lifelong love of animals. I currently have a very active 2 year old French Bulldog, so I understand the importance of providing dogs with plenty of exercise and attention. I am familiar with the unique behaviors and needs of both puppies and adult dogs. I have completed several dog training classes that have given me a background in basic obedience training. I will make sure your dog is happy and well cared for while you are away! I am currently a graduate school student with a very open and flexible schedule. I can be available during working hours as well as weekends depending on your needs. I am happy to care for your dog in any way that you’re comfortable. I’m available to play with your dog at home or take them on walks.

“This was my first time using Rover. I asked Kate what information she'd need to know and she made it really easy for me to provide her the info she needed. She fed the kitties, played with them and cleaned the litter box. I'm happy with my first Rover experience!”

“Ariel was the best cat sitter for my last minute trip out of town! She took great care of my cat including eye drops he needed. It’s always great knowing your pet is safe and taken care of by a great pet sitter. I can’t speak highly enough about Ariel, she’s the best!”

“Jacey is always kind, flexible, and exceedingly patient - I tend to over explain and get a little anxious when leaving my cat behind, but she takes it in stride and my cat loves her for it. Would recommend Jacey for anyone, anytime!”
