The pickle. Prices
When going away for a while any responsible pet parent is concerned about getting great, reliable care for their animals. You could ask a friend or neighbor but are they as committed to and knowledgeable about pet care as they need to be?
You could board your pets but *what a hassle* and the transition and unfamiliar surroundings is so stressful for them.
Let Chicago-Pets help!
happy, relaxed pets = happy, relaxed you
With Chicago-Pets you can thoroughly enjoy your vacation or focus on the out of town task at hand knowing that your pets are in good hands, happy, relaxed, and living it up as the center of attention in the comfort of their home.
A trained, insured, bonded, and background-checked Pet Care Specialist will keep your pets comfortable in their familiar surroundings, maintain their routine, and provide companionship until you return.
So while you’ll certainly be missed, our pet sitting service ensures your animal family still has the other things they love – their food bowl, their bed, their couch, their toys, and of course, plenty of TLC.
For those that purrrrrr...
Each visit consists of play time and chin scratching (mood contingent, we know felines can be finicky), brushing (if desired), refreshing food and water, and litter box maintenance. While there will be lots of purring we know they'll be thinking of you the whole time.
For those that woof...
We will come as many times per day as you would like so your pup’s routine stays undisrupted. We’ll go on an energetic walk to explore the sights and smells of the city, or to a nearby dog park (with your permission, of course). Food and water needs will be tended to and as always there will be lots of *free* back scratches and ear rubs to top it all off.
For those that chirp, squeak, or make no noise at all...
We know there are many pets besides dogs and cats, and we love them all! We have experience with and are more than happy to care for birds, guinea pigs, ferrets, bunnies, and more – we can help with whatever needs you may have.
Special needs.
If your pet has medical needs, we have the experience to handle it. We can administer insulin injections and give oral or topical medications. We know it's especially important for special needs animals to stay on their routine and we will make every effort to make that happen.
The Extras, just for you!
- Pet diaries – As always we will leave you with a daily, detailed note recapping the fun we had.
- House-related stuff – While you are away we would be happy to bring in the mail, turn on lights,
or water the plants if you wish, just let us know! - Easy scheduling, 24/7 – Managing your account and scheduling our services is super easy through our secure website.
If you prefer, you can also call or email us to schedule or make any service changes.
Note: Chicago-Pets core hours are 8am to 8pm Monday-Friday
