Dog Sitting in Western Springs

“Sam took wonderful care of our two kitties while we were gone for two weeks. She is very kind to our cats making sure they’re fed, given lots of attention, and provides much appreciated photo updates! She even helped with some mail and changing the litter box and keeping up with vacuuming the litter. We are repeat customers of Sam I would highly recommend and trust her to care for your pets!”

About: I’ve grown up and taken care of dogs ever since I was little. I would say I’m knowledgeable on dog training and have a lot of experience with all different types of dogs. I love to walk and pet pups so hopefully we can be good match!! I’m currently working part-time in the afternoon (3-6) so I have lots of free time to check in or walk your pet. I have owned Goldens my entire life so training a high-energy dog is something I’m experienced in. I’m all about creating a safe and enriching environment for dogs, so I’m open to adapting to your pets daily routine.

“Max was very helpful when I booked him last minute. He was on time for all of his visits, took great photos of our elderly dog and was extremely gently and kind. He definitely has a special touch for animals!”

“I cannot recommend Zulema enough! They took incredible care of my cats while I was away, and I felt totally at ease knowing she was in such loving, capable hands. I got regular updates, adorable photos, and thoughtful check-ins that truly went above and beyond—every message reassured me that my cats were not just being looked after, but genuinely cared for. It’s such a gift to find someone who treats your pet like their own. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and all-around amazing cat sitter, look no further. Five stars aren’t enough!”

“Lexi is amazing! I was fortunate to find her in a last-minute situation, and she enthusiastically took on three drop-in visits with less than 24 hours’ notice. My timid rescue beagle warmed up to her immediately, she followed very specific instructions perfectly, and I will definitely be using her services again!”

About: I am a grad student in education and just moved to Chicago from Detroit, and sadly my lab and kitties had to stay in Michigan due to my living situation. I've taken care of my dogs, and cats my whole life. I love all animals, and have spent time in the state of Michigan being a dog walker for a small local dog walking business. I have house sat for a few different cats along the way as well. From small-large dogs i'm comfortable around them all! I can be available for the summer Monday-Sunday, Come august 26th, My availability will be MWF and saturday/sunday. Mornings-Evenings I can be available at anytime. I always make sure to see if the owners have any specfic instrutions first and foremost. I will always greet the dog/cat first in calm manner, have them sniff me, say hi, get used to me. Then we get ready for a walk, on walks I'm extremely aware on my surroundings and what could happen or not happen. Water bowls are always full, food at the time the owners said. I make sure to make friends with the animals, and their safety/comfort comes first and foremost. This all will go with cats as well! I tend to be more cautious with the cats so they know i'm there to take care of them.

About: I've lived with 1+ pets for the majority of my life, and feel quite strongly that life is exponentially better with a furry friend by your side. I have experience working with anywhere from 1 to 8 animals at a time, including dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, and some limited work with reptiles. I am comfortable administering medical care to animals as instructed, in addition to providing enrichment, activity, and general TLC to your fur babies. I am flexible with my scheduling, and am happy to provide overnight care. I will be working part-time this summer, which will allow me to be flexible with and attentive to your fur babies' needs! I can do overnight stays, in-house only. I am currently living in an apartment, so while I would not be able to house your pets overnight, I am comfortable with in-home, overnight care and/or thorough and frequent visits throughout the day, and have reliable transportation to do so. I approach pet care with respect for household and animal boundaries and dispositions; I strive to help maintain routine and comfort levels for each and every animal in my care. Long walks, park visits, appointment drop-off/pick-up, etc., I'm very willing and able to help keep your critters comfy while you're away!

About: I’ve had experience with dogs since I was a child, along with many other types of animals. I’ve always loved caring for pets and my goal is to some day own an animal farm. You can trust your pet is in good hands, as I have 3 of my own that mean the world to me. My day revolves around pets care, it is definitely my first priority over anything else. Not only is there time to walk, but there is definitely time to play! Animals each need time dedicated to them individually and should feel special. We have a 3 story house, with a beautiful back yard. A cleaning crew keeps our house spotless and free from any pet dangers. You can trust your pet is in good hands when staying with us.

About: I am very caring and compassionate for animals and pets. I have a cat of my own named Bruni and he is my best friend. Attentive and reliable pet care is assured with me as your pet sitter! I work as a teacher so my morning and afternoons are busy up until 3:30pm. However, I am available after those hours. I do have days off due to breaks, for example, winter break, where I can be reliable all day during those times. I have a cat of my own that I attend to 24/7. Therefore, I am very familiar with pets’ needs. I will assure you great communication and punctuality.
