Consistently great experiences
I’ve been using Chicago Pet Sitters for more than three years to visit my two cats, and have had a consistently great experience, despite cycling through several different sitters. I always have peace of mind when I leave town by getting timely, detailed updates with many great photos (some of which remain among my favorite pictures of my cats).
Chicago Pet Sitters gets all the details right. Their scheduling system is intuitive and they are very accommodating. When my locks had to be changed due to an eviction in the building, it was a simple process to pass along the new key. They are always responsive to email and take feedback seriously.
Over the recent holidays, I was worried because I unexpectedly had several heavy packages delivered early while I was away. Without me asking, the sitter Tiffany brought them inside or moved them to be out of the way, going far beyond the agreed-upon service of bringing in the mail. This particular experience is representative of the excellent service I always enjoy from Chicago Pet Sitters.
Attentive & Communicative Pet Care
We’ve had Cathy regularly for cat visits during weekends and vacations away over the last year. We’re always nervous to leave our two geriatric cats for a few days, and Cathy’s visits are the first time we’ve ever come home to calm and happy cats. She seems to take care in getting to know their personalities, keeps their space tidy, and sends thoughtful daily updates. We’re always excited to see that our visit requests have been assigned to Cathy, and so appreciate her efforts each time we’re away!
CPS does a great job on hiring their employees
David is an excellent walker for our dog visits during the week! He’s very receptive, timely, and caring for our baby girl. CPS does a great job on hiring their employees seeing as all the dog walkers we’ve had in the past carry the same characteristics.
CATS LOVE HER
Cathy was awesome tending to my two guys. Appreciate both the daily reports and great pictures.
Chicago Pet Sitters is an excellent alternative with local presence
Chicago Pet Sitters is great! We used their service for 1.5 years every day and loved it. We had a few different walkers over time but each of them was great and I appreciated how open to feedback the owner/walkers are if you have any. They take great care of your pet, follow instructions you put in the app, and it’s very easy to schedule/cancel last minute. Each day you get a write up of the walk and fun pictures.
I’ve used Wag before and have had terrible experiences with them leaving our pet alone multiple times and not having a customer support line to call. Chicago Pet Sitters is an excellent alternative with local presence and someone to actually talk to if there’s ever an emergency or last min change to your plans.
10 years of reliability
We’ve been a client of Chicago Pet Sitters for over 10 years. They’ve always been reliable and always provide us with updates when on vacation. Recommended.
Continuously impressed with the level of service we receive
We’ve been using Chicago Pet Sitters for almost 6 years now and are continuously impressed with the level of service we receive. The owners and staff are wonderful and do a great job of keeping me posted on the well being of my pets. Once, my sitter even ran out to get more treats after they had run out.
Excellent service
Dan is awesome. Always responsive and provides excellent photos/walk details. I’ve been using CPS for about 18 months now and have never had a bad experience. Excellent service.
They go the extra mile
I have been using CPS for 8 years or so now. They are so reliable and trustworthy–highly recommend them. My lab Willie’s regular walker is Rachel. He tells me he really likes her. Rachel takes special care, including when Willie was attacked by another dog–she immediately contacted me, took care of him and stayed at my house until I got there. They go the extra mile.
The care and attention they give to my fur baby goes above and beyond!
I have been using Chicago Pet Sitters for over 10 years. The care and attention they give to my fur baby goes above and beyond! It’s abundantly clear how much they love animals. Chicago Pet Sitters will always be my first choice for my pet. As an added bonus, they take great pictures of your pets!
