Chicago Pet Sitters is a mainstay of every vacation we take. They are incredibly reliable, caring, and consistent. Steve in particular went above and beyond with our two cats--making sure to give them each the attention they needed while taking care of the various messes they made along the way. We can't recommend them highly enough!

- Dan and the CPS teamJan 10, 2023Previous reviewWe have been using this service for our cats for years. The sitters are competent, careful, and kind. Sunny R. is fantastic. The business is well run and the website is easy to navigate. Scheduling is simple and they are responsive in emergencies. I'm not sure you could get better service.
Jan 3, 2020Previous reviewNo worries. They are so competent, thorough, compassionate, dependable. I love the photos and stories from each visit. I am so happy with you guys!

Since my last review of Chicago Pet Sitters, we transitioned to a new sitter named Andy H. He has been just as amazing as Darcy. We recently had a baby, and the transition to parenting a human and also an 11 month old corgi has, at times, been a challenge. Andy has helped that transition tremendously, with walks 3 days a week. This has been especially helpful during the cold winter months in Chicago. We want to keep Leia active in both mind and body, and Andy helps make that possible! He has even helped introduce some "Leave It" training to Leia, helping resolve her bad habit of eating everything on the sidewalk during her walks. He even shared some YouTube videos so we could practice these skills too. He's also helped improve Leia's leash pulling and excitability around other dogs.
Andy has gone above and beyond the role of dog walker, and I can't say enough good things about him and the help he has provided during our transition to parenthood. Chicago Pet Sitters is a fantastic business with fantastic employees!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Amanda,
Thank you so much for this review! We are absolutely in love with Princess Leia and we’re so grateful we get to watch her grow up. Thanks for choosing us!
- Dan and the CPS teamJul 30, 2022Previous reviewOur 5 month old Corgi puppy, Leia, absolutely adores her dog sitter and best friend, Darcy C, with Chicago Pet Sitters. She takes amazing care of our galactic princess when we are at work. She checks in on Leia twice daily for about 15 to 20 minutes when we're in the office 3 days a week. We have the Puppy Package, which allows us to work a full day in the office without having to worry about Leia's little bladder and potential boredom. Thanks to Darcy's help, Leia has been fully potty trained since about 4 months old. Darcy always sends the most adorable messages and multiple photos with each visit. Below are some examples of the daily photos we receive.
When they're not in training to save the galaxy, Leia is getting lots of love and head scritches from Miss Darcy while lounging in the sun. Needless to say, Leia is a big fan and so are we! Thanks Darcy and Chicago Pet Sitters! - Jan 20, 2023
They weren't able to help us with our temporary pet sitting needs while in town. But they did answer the phone and were very kind and gave us some good suggestions. Thank you!

I have been using Chicago Pet Sitters for over a year now. My cat is extremely shy and they are always so gentle with her - especially Kyle J! They also provide write-ups and photos of the visit promptly which is appreciated.

I recently adopted a kitten, Oswald. Chicago Pet Sitters did an absolutely amazing job caring for my little furball while I was away! They sent lots of cute pictures of his play time and cuddles, as well as photos of the litter and food each day. I had such peace of mind while I was away from my kitten for the first time, and returned to a happy kitty!

We were nervous hiring sitters for our elderly cat who needs regular medication. But we were so impressed with Tiffany K. and Josiah L. who came from Chicago Pet Sitters! They took great care of our cat. They also wrote long notes and took photos every time they visited, which was lovely to get while travelling.
They took care of everything we would do while at home- they even cleaned up the cat litter and threw it away outside the apartment, so when we came home there wasn't a smelly trash can! They brought in packages from the mail room and even offered to water our plants too!
This is a somewhat an expensive option, but these folks were absolutely worth the cost. We will be using this service for any trips we take in the future.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Jessica,
Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! We were so excited to meet your cat and provide her with love and care while you were away. We're already looking forward to our next visit with her :)

I've been using Chicago Pet Sitters for 2 years now and have never had a negative experience - they have always been accommodating, helpful, and thorough. My sitter, Gimo, was wonderful and went above and beyond for my cats during my most recent time away - they allowed my younger cat to climb on their back and shoulders and cleaned up a mess that my other cat unfortunately left in the bathtub. I highly recommend CPS - there is not another service that I trust more!

I am so glad I found Chicago Pet Sitters! Their sitters are so friendly and reliable, and I always know that my cat is in good hands with them. They have a great app where the sitter provides regular detailed updates of their visits with my cat, which is so comforting.
Additionally, Chicago Pet Sitters' customer service is top notch. I recently went on a trip where my flight home was delayed and I was going to get home a day later than planned, and they able to accommodate my request on short notice to have a Sitter check in on my cat. Their prompt customer service was such a relief during a stressful day of traveling.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
