The entire process from the familiarization virtual meet through the daily communications on each walk was easy and comforting. Lindsay really took the time to get to know me, the dogs' routines and preferences, my preferences, and everything in between. Jessica was our walker most visits and very clearly took excellent care of Beatrice and Violet. I looked forward to the daily updates that were not only thorough but thoughtfully wonderful each time. She was so considerate of being in our home which you'd never know anyone had even been in if she hadn't left the detailed notes about after visiting. She even brought in packages several times! The girls clearly loved their time with Out U Go and they'll be my go-to for all future needs.

So my daughter arranged for Green Paws to walk the dog every other day to give her some outside time and exercise other than in the backyard. Chris was her walker, and was he terrific! Was always on time, and the dog started wagging her tail the minute she knew it was him. With each walk, he sent a short amusing recap of her walk to both me and my daughter. I know it helped my daughter's anxiety about leaving her dog alone for so long. Great service - I couldn't recommend them highly enough. Thanks, Chris!

This review is long overdue. The only reason that we are no longer clients of North Shore is that…read morewe moved out of their service area. I sincerely wish that they could have followed us into the suburbs. As an avid traveller AND the cat-dad to a special needs feline, I was overjoyed to locate a trustworthy pet sitter who could accommodate difficult medical situations. When my cat developed three chronic conditions almost simultaneously, I thought that my vacationing days were over. Ultimately (and to this day) her treatment regimen grew to include seven medications--some given twice per day--a combination of pills, an oral liquid, and subcutaneous injections. Caring for her became routine but torpedoed our recreational possibilities. Enter Jean from North Shore Pet Sitters. She has experience with all of those types of medications and handled them like a champ. Before booking the first stint, we had an in-home consultation, at which Jean imbued complete confidence that we were leaving our darlings in good hands. Besides expertise, compassion and enthusiasm are her other strong suits. Jean always left a detailed log of the cats' activities which showed that she truly enjoyed being a caregiver. Booking was always easy and the prices were more than fair. A bargain, in fact. Expert, compassionate care of one's furry family members is practically priceless. I can't overstate enough what it meant to us to find a reliable cat sitter. Discovering NSPS and Jean relieved a lot of angst in my household. If you need someone just to show up, change the litter, fill the food and water bowls, and sprinkle some catnip around, I'm sure that North Shore can handle that. But if you have a high-maintenance cat, they will really shine, especially if Jean is your sitter. She is a treasure.

As long as we live in the area, we will use NSPS.

So, I looked on Yelp and found Home Alone. The reviews were good so I gave Erin a chance. Well, its 2019 and Erin has now been sitting for my kitties for six years. Why? Because she is like having close friends and family take care of my "kids." In addition to parenting the kitties she has alerted me to issues around the house, when the oldest cat was not doing well, and other things outside of her "job description." She also provided me with advice for vets and other pet related services. Plus she really loves animals and it shows.

We are truly thankful for the DDI team and they've been a key part to our new adventure in Chicago.

Thankfully, I was wrong. Purr is so accommodating, caring and genuinely thoughtful about all aspects of cat care. From communicating for key drop offs, to the email recaps they send after every visit, the two times they have watched over Jonah have been worth every penny. Each sitter clearly loves cats and pay attention to detail (and the numerous photos don't hurt). While Jonah will always be a vocal boy upon my returns, it truly feels like he was watched over in a loving way and that's all a fur baby parent can ever ask for - for them to be cared for as if they were others' own. I was so happy and surprised to find a pet care place that focused on cats primarily, and that joy has proven to be consistent with all my interactions with the Purr team. Check 'em out for your needy cats - you won't regret it!
