Real Google reviews from neighbors who've trusted Dasha with their pets.
A smart choice for a relaxing trip away.
You're not taking a chance — you're picking the team that's been keeping homes and pets cared for since 2010.
Bonded, insured, welcomed back.
The same families have trusted us with their keys, alarm codes, and routines for over a decade. Doors locked. Mail in. Lights on the right schedule. Pets fed on time.
Cats deserve cat-specific care.
Cats are small predators that know they can also be prey — a stranger in their space puts them on edge. We read feline body language fluently and let shy cats come to us when they're ready.
Tight schedules, kept on the dot.
Diabetic insulin every 10–12 hours. Dog walks before they need it. Meal-fed cats fed exactly on time. We plan visits around your pets' real routine, not ours.
Drop-in visits, built around your pets.
Vacation pet care, pet-assist visits, and dog walks — all in your home, on your schedule.
Vacation Pet Care
20 to 40 minute visits, one to three times a day. Feed, water, scoop, photo, update. Five packages by household and meds — see Pricing for the full breakdown.
Diabetic & Specialized Care
Insulin injections, subcutaneous fluids for kidney cats, and other meds — spaced and scheduled in conversation with you, never on autopilot.
Pet Assist
You're home or out for the day, but you need a second set of hands — a quick litter refresh, a feeding, or care while a partner travels. We're not boarding and we're not a neighbor swap. We're your backup.
Dog Walks
30-minute walks for dogs who are good on a leash. Standalone or bundled with vacation care for a discounted mid-day stretch.
Every visit covers the full routine.
No add-ons for the basics. From the moment we unlock the door to the moment we lock it back, here's what your pets and your home get.
- Fresh food and water Bowls cleaned and refilled, exactly to your pets' routine.

Built on 15+ years of in-home pet care.
Dasha's Pet Sitting Service started in 2010 with a simple goal — give cats and dogs the kind of in-home care that feels nothing like boarding. Today, our team is bonded, insured, and trusted by families across Brookfield and Chicago's western suburbs.
Behind the team is extensive pet care expertise, including shelter work, vet support, kennels, and pet grooming. We bring that depth to every household — whether your pets are easygoing dogs, shy cats, or a full mixed crew.
Let's plan your pet care.
