“Brianna was wonderful! She was attentive to our pets needs, asked questions & kept us informed. We really appreciated all the photos she sent! Our pets are happy & the litter boxes & house in general is completely in order. Hopefully she will be available next time we will need to leave our fur babies!”
“Gabi was great with our dog. He is anxious and does not being left alone and Gabi made sure that he was comfortable and he had a great time with her when we were gone. We got daily updates and pictures of Clarence making us feeling better that he was in good hands. Will definitely use her again!!”
“Grace was attentive, friendly, professional, and thorough in her review and care for our animals (two cats and an oddball dog). She was quick to reply and clearly took the task of watching over our "kids" with a lot of care. I would highly recommend Grace for anyone's pet care needs.”
“My dog has very bad separation anxiety; Krissy makes sure he feels safe and loved when I’m away. I never have to worry when she is taking care of the animals. I will always recommend her!”
“Judy was fantastic taking care of our dachshund. Dachshunds require specific care to protect their spine, and lots of patience as they can be very stubborn. Judy was excellent proving Rocky the exact care he needed. She was a pleasure to work with. We are so lucky to have had her care for our fur-baby.”
“Dogs loved Nicole and she did great with them! The dogs can be a handful with high energy, but Nicole matched their needs and spent a lot of time outside playing. We are grateful to have Nicole as a sitter and we will have her back soon!”
“Ana took amazing care of our dogs while we were away on vacation. She was attentive to their needs, sent us updates with pictures each day, and took good care of our home as well. We will contact her for sitting needs again in the future for sure!”
“Erica was great! Our girl went in to heat the day before we were supposed to leave. Erica not only took on the challenge confidently but calmed our nerves with consistent updates of the extra care she provided.”
“Megan is an outstanding sitter! From the meet and greet, Maple and Cedar loved her! I am rebooking her already; I do not want my puppies to miss her! 🫶”
“Austin took good care of our girls while we were gone. Both require daily medication, one is older and has a hard time getting around, and the other wants constant attention. So a lot of handle in dog sitting, and he did a good job. While they were excited to see us, they were more their normal selves right away, meaning they were clearly well cared for while we were gone.”
“Yuliia was terrific with our very quirky, anxious rescue dog and with our sweet, easy dog. She was patient with the anxious guy and didn't give up on becoming his friend. We'd definitely recommend her!”
About: I would do anything for an animal. Im fact, I have broken bones on two different times so they wouldn’t get hurt. I love them. I am looking for a job now and the market is horrible. I thought, what could be better than filling my days with animals to love on. I take care of my cat better than myself. I make sure he’s eating well, I grt the good bowls, toys galore and his own heating pad which he adores.
About: I worked at Petco while in college. I have been around animals my whole life. I have experience other cat and dog sitting. I currently have two cats of my own and love them dearly. I will treat and care for your pets just like my Own! I am also a teacher and am very responsible and respectful of your home. I am currently on summer break so I have a lot of time for you and your pets! During the school year I am available nights, weekends, and holiday breaks. I prefer to be at your home, as I am currently living with my parents and my two cats. I want to respect their space. I am very clean, organized, and respectful of others spaces.
“Great communication and happy pets so what more can I ask for?”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—from playful pups and cuddly cats to curious mice and calming fish. Growing up with a variety of pets taught me not just how to care for them, but how to understand their individual needs and personalities. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding routines, giving medication, or just offering love and companionship, I take pride in providing attentive, compassionate care. Alongside my experience with animals, I’m also a responsible and trustworthy house sitter. I treat every home with the same respect and care as I would my own—keeping things clean, secure, and running smoothly while you’re away. Your pets and your home are in safe, caring hands. I regularly care for the pets and homes of close family members on a weekly or biweekly basis—and whenever they need an extra hand. Whether it’s daily feeding, walking, playtime, litter box cleaning, or just keeping pets company while their humans are away, I’m their go-to helper. My schedule is flexible, and I’m always happy to step in and make sure pets feel loved and homes stay well cared for. When you trust me with your pets and home, I bring the same level of care, attention, and responsibility that I give to my own family. Whether it’s sticking to feeding routines, giving medication, or just providing love and companionship, I treat every pet with patience and kindness. I also take pride in keeping your home clean, secure, and well-maintained—just as I do for the homes of my close family members. You can relax knowing everything is in caring, capable hands.
“Stephen was great. We were extremely nervous about leaving Ellie overnight. She has been with us a year, but we have not left her alone very much. We weren’t sure how she would react. Stephen worked with us and kept us informed the whole time. His constant communication was fantastic. We look forward to using him again.”
About: Hi! I'm Allison, a current law school student with a lifelong love for animals and several years of experience pet sitting and dog walking. I grew up as the go-to neighborhood dog walker and pet sitter, and caring for animals has always been second nature to me. From a young age, I've been surrounded by all kinds of pets, dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, you name it! Today, my home is shared with my two dogs, two chinchillas, bunny, and my two ferrets, so I’m very familiar and comfortable with animals of all types, personalities, and care needs. I also am a volunteer at the greater chicago ferret association, and assist in caring for 70+ ferrets! Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or needs special attention, I bring patience, knowledge, and genuine affection to every visit. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry (or not-so-furry) family members, and I’d be honored to help care for yours like they’re my own. Let me know how I can help, walks, drop-ins, overnight care, I’ve got you covered! As a full-time law student, I keep a structured schedule that allows me to balance my studies with pet care, something that brings me both joy and a much-needed break from textbooks! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sittings outside of class hours during the week, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. My schedule is flexible, especially with advance notice. During the summer and school breaks, I have full availability and can accommodate a wide range of pet care needs, including longer stays, extended walks, or multiple daily visits. Since I already care for multiple pets of my own, tending to animals is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I love incorporating pet care into my day, it keeps me grounded and active, and I treat every pet like they’re family. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is always to make sure each animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs or medications. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and keep everything clean, secure, and consistent for your pet. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment while you're away. I also keep you updated with regular photos and notes, so you can have peace of mind while you're apart from your furry friend! At my home, pets have a safe and loving environment. I'm used to managing multiple animals with different care needs, so I’m confident handling various temperaments and routines. Whether it’s a cuddle on the couch or a long walk, I strive to make every pet feel like part of the family!
“Elizabeth house sat for us over the Holidays and we couldn't be happier! We have 1 big bouncy dog & 2 cats and all throughout our trip she sent us updates and photos so we knew our babies were doing well. The house was just as we left it and we hope Elizabeth will come house sit for us again.”
“Highly recommend Michael! He did a great job!”
“Abby was phenomenal with our two dogs Kylo and Elsa! We were gone over the holidays and she kept us updated on our pups the entire time and we were able to enjoy ourselves on vacation knowing the dogs were beyond well taken care of! We would recommend her any time! Thank you Abby!!!”

Ana took amazing care of our dogs while we were away on vacation. She was attentive to their needs, sent us updates with pictures each day, and took good care of our home as well. We will contact her for sitting needs again in the future for sure!
The week up to July 4 is probably the roughest time for our Emma…..Erica did a remarkable job caring and consoling during the random fireworks events that take place in the neighborhood..,, more than just a sitter… Erica became a friend ho our Emma thanks Erica
Abby is an absolute gem and truly the most kind and reliable dog sitter we’ve ever had. We had an emergency with one of our dogs the night before Abby was scheduled to watch our two pups. She took a call from us late and helped us out in a pinch to stay longer with our dogs. She never hesitated and took the best care of our sick boy while we were gone. She’s one of the best and we’re so grateful for her!
Sarah looked after our two cats for a week while we were away and housesat for us, so our animals wouldn't be too lonely while we were gone. One of our felines must be medicated twice a day at very specific times to avoid medical complications. Not only is Sarah confident and comfortable giving our cat his meds, she is prompt and careful when administering his twice daily pills. Knowing that made us very comfortable while we were away. In addition, Sarah's communication style was straightforward and thoughtful. She asked excellent questions and follow-up questions. And when there was an unexpected situation at our house while we were away, she handled it professionally and alerted us to what was happening. I'd highly recommend Sarah to manage petsitting and housesitting.
Our pup LOVES Gabi. When we returned from a 10 day trip she acted like we just took a short trip to the store. She used to have hair loss and digestive issues after a long trip. This time none of that!
Caitlin was fantastic. She kept me updated on my dog and took amazing care of her and my home. Highly recommend!!!
Julia took amazing care of our home, 2 dogs and 2 cats. We felt so at ease knowing she was there and received regular updates on how things were going as well as photos. I especially appreciate Julia’s approach with our shy rescue pup and our very vocal senior rescue 😅, a balancing act to be sure.
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!
Yovana is reliable, punctual, kind caring. She is very good with cats. She sent me pictures and kept me posted.Boudreaux and Lemieux enjoyed hanging out with her for a weekend. They were well cared for. She fed them and played with them. Yovana is great with communication. She is responsible just all around fantastic! I would definitely use her again! ❤️
Emily is so caring and conscientious about our pups. She takes great care of the house and great care of the dogs. Strongly recommend and will definitely rely on her again!
Amy was absolutely amazing with our 90 lb bulldog, Beast! From the moment we met her, we knew he was in great hands. She was attentive, caring, and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy. We loved the updates and pictures she sent, and it was clear that Beast adored her. It’s not easy finding someone who can handle a big, strong pup, but Amy did it effortlessly. We’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!
Maria took great care of our dog overnight. She sends lots of updates. Very responsible, kind, and warm.
Steven and Donna are such great examples of animal lovers! They take such good care of my babies!! Highly recommend and we have used them over and over!!! My boys are content and happy when we return! And so are we!!!!
