Karina was incredible and great to work with! She was very communicative and took the time to play with the cats after feeding/cleaning the litter box. She took many wonderful pictures and made sure they were comfortable and happy whenever she stopped by. Provided great updates after each visit as well. Fantastic sitter, would definitely book again!

Simply put, Abby is amazing! She was in constant contact with me and sent lots of photos and videos. I knew my little girl was in very good hands! I came home to a super clean house and a happy cat who was looking for Abby when I got home. I know housesitting was a huge success! I wouldn't hesitate to book Abby again, and I am planning on it!

Leora is THE BEST!! We had work being done in our home while we were away due to a burst pipe and flooding repair. There were workers in the house and it was a mess. My kitty was especially happy to have a snuggly visit from Leora everyday, as all the unwelcome commotion was really stressful for him. Leora was such a good sport in navigating through the mess and supporting our cat. We are so grateful! She is awesome! Highly recommend

About: There is a saying dogs are like little kids. I find this amusing and exciting to be around doggies and see those similarities myself. Also it is great chance to see neighborghhood and stay active outside I have a flexible work schedule, so I can easily adjust my time to meet your pets’ needs. I’m happy to spend quality time with them, play, go for walks, feed them, and make sure they feel comfortable, calm, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet with attention and kindness, as if they were my own. I can look after your pets in the comfort of your own home, where they feel most comfortable. I’ll spend time with them, play, feed them, and make sure they’re happy and relaxed while you’re away. I’m calm, caring, and treat pets with the same attention and kindness as my own.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Our cat can be a bit picky, but Jennifer was incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive. They made sure our cat was well cared for, comfortable, and clearly loved while we were away. We really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and thoughtful messages—it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our cat was in such good hands. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a clean, well-kept space. We would absolutely trust Jennifer again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and truly wonderful pet sitter.

Gabrielle was wonderful. We have two cats and they’re not the ‘usual’ and come with a few higher demands. While it might be a work in progress… as we’d expect… it all seemed to go smoothly with one warming up nicely. The other has to ‘think about it’ for a while LOL. She kept the house (she house + cat sit), cats and peripherals in order with no complaints at all. She was here quite a lot with the cats so we absolutely appreciate that. Already have her signed up for another venture!

About: Hi I’m Emily! I’m 18 years old and a senior in highschool. I’ve always dreamed of being a vet and I work at a vet clinic currently as an assistant ! I’ve had tons of experience since growing up i’ve had cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, and more! Also, I have dog sat, dog walked, and even took care of my neighbors pets with special medical needs! I am so excited to help out between my work and school. I am currently a full time student in highschool and I work part time at the vet clinic! But with that there is no problem in coming by and taking care of your pet(s). My availability will always be communicated! My 3 dogs live in a fenced home, I am comfortable walking them and more than one dog so I can apply this to your pups! I am comfortable giving medicine and applying assisted care to your pets with anything!

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and compassionate pet sitter who truly loves animals of all kinds. I’ve cared for cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, fish, and bearded dragons, and I’m comfortable working with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve personally trained my own dog, as well as helped train my best friend’s dog and my mom’s dog, focusing on basic obedience, leash manners, and positive reinforcement. I also have experience caring for a senior dog who was prone to seizures, so I understand the importance of patience, close monitoring, and following detailed care instructions. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, feeding, medication, training reinforcement, or just some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry (and scaly!) family members and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I am available for bookings between 11:00 AM and 4:00 AM daily. I am unavailable on Wednesdays. Mondays 11 am -1am Tuesdays 11 am - 1am Thursdays 11am - 1am Fridays 11 am -1am Saturdays 11 am - 1am Sundays 11am - 1am I provide care in your home, secure yard, or neighborhood as that’s where your pet is most familiar / comfortable. I ask you to please let me know if they have any special needs, if there are other local pets or people they do or do not get along with, etc. Pet sitting drop-in visits are recommended 2-4 times per day depending on your pet. I strive to provide the best care with the utmost respect for your fur baby and home, but for mutual reassurance I’m independently insured as a pet care professional.

Would highly recommend Andrea. She stayed overnight at my apartment with my 2 cats for 12 days. She gave them wet food twice a day with medicine and wasn't bothered when they woke her up at 5:30am. Would definitely use again!

About: I have 6 years of experience as a dog walker and sitter in Chicago. I’ve loved it since the moment I started and will almost never turn down an opportunity to take care of a furry friend! I can handle any breed or size of dog, and am very knowledgeable in dogs’ temperament. I’m experienced in handling multiple dogs at once on walks as well. I have taken care of all ages of dogs, aiding in puppy training to giving medications to senior dogs! I can handle almost anything asked and will always let you know if I’m not comfortable with a task asked of me. My number one priority is the well being and safety of every animal I meet! I’m currently on a very open schedule and have a lot of flexibility. I can work with almost any time as long as I am given advance notice. When caring for dogs outside of the home, I always have them leashed and will never do anything off leash. If a client has a suitable outdoor space I will let them off but always keep them strictly monitored. I know how important the bond between a pet and their owner is and I will do everything in my power to ensure the safety and well-being of your pet!

Spencer was a blessing. I was nervous to leave my pets for an extended time and he helped ease my nerves and made it so easy. He's very polite and you can tell he loves animals. I got pictures every night and they seemed perfectly content hanging out with him. Thank you Spencer!
