Our Petsitting Services

Urban Tailz provides in-home, overnight petsitting services for your pets. We will move into your home and spend most of our free time taking care of your pets and doing anything you need done around the house (bringing in the mail, watering plants, etc). We stick to your pet’s routine as best we can and send lots of pics/updates so you know your pets are having fun while you’re away. 

Our sitters have been background checked and have been regular dog walkers for a period of time before becoming petsitters. They are our most trusted employees. Urban Tailz is also licensed, bonded, and insured to provide pet sitting services in Chicago.

How does overnight petsitting work?

You provide your travel dates along with your preferred move-in and move-out times.

Your sitter stays overnight in your home and cares for your pet throughout your trip.

Before an overnight stay, we’ll schedule a Meet & Greet (billed at our standard 30-minute walk rate) so your sitter can get to know you, your pet, and their routine. 

We follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications (if needed), playtime, and companionship.

Sitters may leave periodically for scheduled dog walks or personal errands, but pets are never left alone for more than 5 consecutive hours and no more than 8 total hours in a day.

If a sitter needs to be away longer, another Urban Tailz team member will stop by to walk and check in on your pet at no additional charge.

You’ll receive regular updates and plenty of photos throughout your pet’s stay.

To ensure your sitter is comfortable, please provide a proper bed in your home.

Can I meet my sitter?

Absolutely! We want you to know who is staying in your home while you’re away. Before an overnight stay, we’ll schedule a Meet & Greet (billed at our standard 30-minute walk rate) so your sitter can get to know you, your pet, and their routine.

Will my sitter follow the rules of my home?

Of course! We have a quick questionnaire that we send to our petsitting clients that covers all rules of your home (where to sleep, what areas are off-limits, etc) so you and your sitter are on the same page while they are living in your home. 

How will I communicate with my petsitter?

Urban Tailz uses Time to Pet software with text-like communication that makes it easy to communicate with your sitter while you’re away. Our managers also see the communication between you and your sitter, so we always know what is going on and can help with anything if needed.
