“I had to book a last minute drop in visit because a family member who agreed to watch my puppy ended up having an emergency. Rebecca accepted the request promptly and made sure my puppy was fed and taken care of during the visit. Thank you so much for being so awesome!”
“Dong was so great! He was super responsive and communicative ahead of the booking and during, and took lots of photos during each drop-in. Dong's professionalism made it so much less stressful to leave my <1 yr old cat for a few days - thank you, Dong!”

“Raj was an amazing dog sitter! He took great care of Saint, providing plenty of walks, playtime, and updates with pictures. It was clear that he truly cares for animals and treats them like his own. Communication was easy, and I felt completely at ease knowing Saint was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Raj again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Francesca was wonderful! It was my first time using Rover and she made me feel so at ease while I was away from my 2 cats for a weekend. She was very communicative and sent pictures each day, it’s clear that she’s a cat person. I highly recommend Francesca.”
“Jessica has been a life saver for me and my husband. We've had last minute requests twice and she has answered every time, been extremely helpful, communication, and most of all, kind! We are thankful for her and would utilize her service anytime. Definitely reccomend!”

“Julia did an amazing job caring for our kitties while we were away. She took the time to check in on each of our cats, even the one who usually hides from everyone, as well as sending us plenty of photo updates.😆 We couldn't have asked for better care and will definitely be booking again!”
“Christina is so special and a true dog whisperer. I feel so lucky to have found her. She is so knowledgable about dogs and knew exactly ow to make my nervous / anxious chi feel at ease. He was literally sad when he left her. Truly a PRO! I even booked with her already for a 2 week vacation I'm going on in July! I'm normally not comfortable leaving my dog with anyone; if anything just my mom. So this means a lot to me. THANK YOU CHRISTINA. BEST AROUND.”
“Samara was so amazing with our kitties. She kept us posted throughout the visits and sent plenty of pictures. Will definitely be working with her again the in future!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I cared for cats, turtles, squirrels, fish, chicks, and birds. As I got older, I added hamsters and gecko and dogs to the mix. Taking care of animals has always come naturally to me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m around all day to give your pets lots of love and attention. I’ve got two awesome kids (11 and 16) who love helping out with pets. We also have a super friendly 11-month-old puppy who’s always up for making new friends. We’ve got tons of toys, treats, and crate—basically everything your pet could need. Plus, there’s a big living room for playtime and a balcony where they can do their business in rainy days. Your pet will feel right at home here!
“Emily came to my rescue very last minute when other arrangements fell through. She was extremely responsive, detailed, and calmed all of my nerves. My babies aren’t used to having others care for them but Emily came and spent time with us to fix that. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“I can't say enough good things about Alicia. My dog can be a bit aggressive towards strangers at first, but he got to love her! She has a lot of patience with him, plays with him and makes him feel loved while we are away. She is my go to girl for Niko and I'm sure he feels the same way 😄”
“Buddha loves getting drop in visits from Mercedes and I love getting all the picture updates. Always attentive, caring, and professional. Thank you!”
“Exceeded our expectations is an understatement! From the day we met with Mia, we were delighted by her passion for animals and her willingness to follow our dogs “not so easy” daily routine. Mia really cared about keeping us at ease while away and this was evident through her punctuality, daily updates, and photos. Mia is truly an amazing soul and she made it possible for us to have a worry free vacation. Benji is missing her already so we are going to have to book her again for a play date. :) Conclusion, if you are looking for a trust worthy mature young woman to take care of your dog, Mia is hands down the best in the biz and we are glad to now call her a friend.”
About: Hi, my name is Sarah and I love dogs! I have had a dog for the majority of my life and taking care of pets has become second nature to me. My sister has a puppy (only one year old) named Cosmo and I frequently pet sit him while she's at work. Taking care of Cosmo usually entails everything from walking to feeding and even administering medication if needed. I also have a golden doodle of my own who is an absolute angel. I don't mind taking care of energetic pets or more chilled out ones. I think it is important that all pets are well looked after attentively. I enjoy being around dogs and want to provide the best quality care for them. I currently work from home so I have flexibility as to where and when I can work. I’ll have plenty of time to take care of and spend time with your pet! I have a spacious two bedroom apartment in South Loop with a dog park right around the corner! I could easily take your pet for a walk to the park and play some fetch!
“Punctual, consistent and kind! I was a nervous wreck leaving my cat behind for the first time but Jazmin put all those concerns to rest for me. Thank you so much!”
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs. I love animals and take excellent care of them. My mom was a wildlife rehabilitator too so we also had squirrels, rabbits, and even a raccoon at one point! I primarily do pet care on the weekends now but occasionally available other days. Send me a message if you need someone and I’ll see what I can do! If I confirm a booking, I will be there! I am incredibly respectful of other people's things and try to leave things as if I was never there (except for your happy and relaxed pet, of course!).

Feiran Y.
“I’ve known Feiran Y. for years, and if there’s one person I would trust with my pets without a second thought, it’s Feiran. They have that rare, natural ability to connect with animals—whether it’s an energetic puppy or a shy rescue cat, Feiran approaches every animal with patience, love, and genuine joy. Feiran is incredibly responsible and detail-oriented. I’ve seen them go above and beyond to make sure pets are not only safe and healthy, but also happy. Whether it’s sticking to a strict feeding schedule, taking long, thoughtful walks, or just spending quality cuddle time, Feiran treats every pet like their own. What truly sets Feiran apart is their heart. Animals seem to sense it too—my dog, who’s usually a little wary of new people, warmed up to Feiran immediately (and now gets uncontrollably excited whenever she sees them!). If you’re looking for a pet sitter or dog walker who’s reliable, kind, and genuinely passionate about animals, you’ve found the right person in Feiran Y. You and your pets will be lucky to have them.”

I also used her services for dog walking and I could not find anyone better for this job.”
