Urban Out Sitters earned the title of Best Doggie Daycare & Pet Hotel from Chicago Magazine in their “Best Of” series and became the subject of profiles in a number of publications and media outlets including the CW, the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun-Times, and Crain's Chicago Business.

As the city’s premier pet hotel, Urban Out Sitters works to deliver the best possible care and companionship to the pets who visit. The firm maintains clean, safe facilities. The company complies with all regulations, including the Department of Agriculture's strict sanitary and health requirements. As a smaller daycare and kennel, Urban Out Sitters was designed to provide supervision and quality care.

In addition to boarding services, Urban Out Sitter's staff offers dog walking, day care, and cat care. Urban Out Sitter's catsitters visit cats each day, replenishing food and water, cleaning the litter boxes, and even bringing in the mail when requested. Pet care givers are also qualified to provide medication and specific food to cats when necessary. After each visit, sitters call clients to check in and provide updates on the care of their cats.
