Pet Sitter Services in Cook County, IL

Reliable Home Pet Sitting Services & Local Care

Your pet deserves comfort and security at home, even when you cannot be there. At Woofie’s® of Evanston-North Shore, we offer in-home pet sitting throughout Cook County, so your pets enjoy familiar surroundings and routines each day. Our approach keeps pets relaxed, eases stress from your absence, and delivers peace of mind as our trusted team cares for your animals and their unique personalities.

Many pets experience anxiety when removed from their homes, especially in busy areas of Cook County like downtown Chicago or more densely populated suburbs. With our in-home pet sitting, we maintain daily routines so pets stay calm and content. This service offers convenience for clients whose schedules, high-rise living, or urban neighborhoods make travel to pet daycare less practical. We meet pets where they’re happiest: at home.
