We've entrusted the care of our families golden retriever Gypsy to Purrfect Paws for over 5 years now. I can't imagine any one taking more care and pride in their job than Faith and her team. Gypsy is always given the best walks, we know from Gypsy's excitement each and every time Faith arrives and the restful sleep gypsy has after her visits together. I can't recommend Faith and her associates enough. if you want to worry less and have a happy & healthy pet in your life, Purrfect paws is the team! read more

Faith and her team have been beyond amazing for our Golden Retriever, Gypsy! Faith started walking Gypsy in 2017. I found her on the PSI website and she met all of the qualifications I was looking for. She is extremely knowledgeable about animals and we always felt gypsy was in the best care with Faith. She is very friendly, personable, trustworthy, and caring- she always treated Gypsy as part of her family. She would walk gypsy 2-3x/week, and was flexible with my healthcare work schedule. It is very easy to schedule dog walks on her app, and payment was super easy via Zelle. A few special things Faith did over the years for Gypsy: -yearly birthday and holiday gifts -special trips for pup cups, doggy ice cream, and other treats at dog-friendly neighborhood places -gifted her a warm coat and paw protection for cold/icy Chicago winters -always provided photo updates with each walk -always made sure gypsy was well hydrated -takes Covid precautions very seriously Our family recently moved out of state, which is the only reason why we no longer use Faith. She took Gypsy on a special last walk, taking her to her favorite local spots for treats. Faith is so missed! read more

Faith was super helpful in providing suggestions and tips for my cat who was just diagnosed with cancer. Thank you, Faith!

Before and after the pandemic Faith took care of our two beloved senior kitties. Birmans, whom we recently had to put down at 17 and 15, were as attached to us as we were to them. They were both from a breeder in California and moved back to Chicago with us. So, it was of enormous importance that we find a pet sitter who would love them and understand their nuances with compassion and patience. We were loathe to travel much as we knew at their advanced age it would be a hardship for them in our absence, until we found Faith. Faith would come to feed them and occasionally stay over to give them company because they needed that security. Faith would send us daily photos and reports, and they grew to love her presence as much as we think she enjoyed our little bundles of joy. I recommend Faith very highly. She is no doubt a loving person who connects with animals quite easily. We are forever in her debt. read more

Faith is the best! She takes great care of my cat and helps me feel like he is getting lots of love when I am away. She is also so helpful when I need plants watered or small things done. Her rates are very reasonable as well. And yes, the picture texts are awesome!! I always have "Bruce pics time" with my friends when on trips :) read more

Faith is incredible. She has been taking care of my fur babies for the past three or four years and is, by far, hands down, the best pet sitter we have ever had. And I am PICKY. She spends a ton of time w the boys - I know because that is what she does, THEY tell me (actually I can tell because they are totally fine when we return,) and my alarm system confirms . Seriously with other sitters, my very social kitties are incredibly needy and panicky when we return but NOT w Faith. They are their usual, friendly well adjusted selves. I never worry abt them when we are traveling. She sends constant updates and pictures, but honestly I don't need them as I trust her completely. Highly, highly, highly recommend!! read more

Purrfect Paws is simply INCREDIBLE. We have used them for the past 3 years for all of our trips away. We have a very finicky cat who has often peed on furniture for past cat sitters due to her anxiety, but not with Faith! She has a way of putting even the most stressed-out pets at ease. And in turn, my mind is at ease knowing that our cats are happy while we're gone. Additionally, she's great at following tricky medication regimens, sending LOTS of pictures every time she comes to visit, and having good availability. Her rates are reasonable. And her website makes it easy to request dates and even specific time ranges when you want her to come visit. THANKS SO MUCH, Faith! read more

Faith and her team do a great job! I've always felt comfortable knowing my cats were in her care. She is trustworthy and provides daily updates with pictures of your pets. She does not rush her time with your pets and her love for them shows! read more

Faith and her team exceeded my hopes as pet sitters. I am a first-time Kitty Mom, and my kittens were only a few months old when they came to care for them. I had Purrfect Paws come over almost weekly for several months while I was working. They have been around animals for decades, and their expertise has been, and continues to be, so helpful and appreciated. The amount of heart and care....beyond great. There aren't enough stars on this app to properly rate Purrfect Paws. Look no further for pet care if you live on the north east side of Chicago! read more

We trust Faith implicitly with our beloved cat. She's trustworthy, communicative, and very welcome in our home. She sends photos of our little girl looking very happy every visit; a small detail that's reflective of great kindness and makes our day when we're out of town. Not long ago, Faith came over to pick up a new key, and as soon as she entered, our cat ran to her toy box for play. To see that our cat associated Faith with love, play, and attention speaks volume about how seriously she takes this job. We recommend her highly. read more

Faith and Peter have been watching my baby for me for about a year now and I cannot sing their praises anymore! I am very very specific and detailed on my instructions when I am out of town on how to care for my baby and the instructions are followed to a T! Before sitting for you, Faith did an in home consultation with my cat and answered general questions about her business as well as cats in general (she's very knowledgeable). faith bring over paperwork to show that she is properly licensed and insurance. Not only does Purrfect Paws does sitting, but Faith was able to take my cat into the vet for me (my vet allows the sitter to come in and has the information of Faith and Peter, just in case anything happens while Im away!). Puurfect Paws has been a real life saver and my baby loves them both! read more

Faith is amazing. We went to Florida for a week over Christmas, and hired Purrfect Paws to watch our cats, Gary and Frank. Faith sent pictures every day twice a day, fed them, played with them and cleaned their litter boxes. She even bought them Christmas presents. The charge is a little higher on holidays, but it's minimal and SO worth it. I will definitely use Purrfect Paws again. read more

I tried Purrfect Paws for the first time when I was a bit tired of asking my friends for favors to look after my cat, Salvador. Faith came over to my apartment and did a thorough assessment of my cat's needs and bonded with him right away. After having faith look after my cat, my boyfriend and I wanted to take a vacation but had no one to look after our dog, Jude. I was a bit hesitant as Jude is 8 years old and we have never left him without family. Faith eased my concerns because I could tell she was very experienced and really loved animals. She looked after both Jude and Sal and I couldn't have been more comfortable with her care. I highly recommend her services for your furry friends. read more

I was a bit nervous about leaving my elderly cat alone for several days during the Christmas holiday. As it turned out, I had nothing to worry about. Faith provided a fantastic service in looking after Lucy while I was out of town. She sent pictures and texts on a daily basis, and I felt that she took an active interest in making sure that Lucy was healthy and engaged. I cannot recommend Purrfect Paws more highly. read more

I couldn't recommend Faith more. She and her team genuinely care about the well-being of the pets they watch over, and when they conduct their daily visits, they won't just feed your pet, but play with them, brush them, and spend quality time together. She also sends daily pictures of your pet, which is a thoughtful touch for those of us who miss our furry friends when we're away. I can't imagine trusting care for my cat with anyone else. read more

Faith is beyond amazing with our dog. She has been watching our furry child for over two years now. Our dog is not keen on everyone and takes great patience and understanding. The fact he now looks forward to Faith's visit is a testiment to how she treats him. We love the photo updates and completely trust her to watch over and love our guy when we are gone. She even stays and snuggles with him. I would highly recommend her to anyone. read more

Faith has been a reliable cat sitter for our three cats for the last year. She is incredibly loving and kind to our boys, and even was good at medicating our cat when sick. She also took care of our fish. Her co-worker, Peter, is also a delight and took great care of our cats. Both send daily updates with photos and sent text updates of our cats each day. I highly recommend their services. read more

During my recent hospitalization, the experienced and trustworthy Purrfect Paws caregiver stayed regularly in touch and clearly became well acquainted with my "boys," their likes and dislikes. It was a tremendous relief and comfort to know that my 15.5-year-old felines were safe, happy, receiving necessary meds and even love when I could not be there myself. Messages and even photos were very much appreciated! Should I ever need or want to be away again, Faith would be my first choice! Anyone could choose Purrfect Paws with complete confidence. read more
