Urban Out Sitters

A comprehensive pet care facility, Urban Out Sitters provides Chicago-area pet owners with cat care, dog walking, boarding, and day care services out of two main locations within the city. As part of its day care services, Urban Out Sitters provides a way for active dogs to use their natural energy, instincts, behavior, and desire to play with other dogs. Dogs at Urban Out Sitters play together in a cage-free environment within groups that range in size and include puppies, small dogs, and large dogs. The staff at Urban Out Sitters places each dog in the appropriate group to maximize socialization and enjoyment. The facilities offer breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks; outside play time; a web cam for owners to check in; and departure baths whenever desired.

For longer stays, Urban Out Sitters was rated one of the top pet hotels by Chicago Magazine's “Best Of” series. Urban Out Sitters’ boarding location is personally staffed 24 hours each day and includes cage-free playgroups, outside play, and webcam access. Urban Out Sitters also offers a pet taxi transportation service, which can be used for pick-up or drop-off to help owners get their pets to the facility conveniently.

In addition to its wide variety of dog services, Urban Out Sitters maintains an in-home cat sitting service. Urban Out Sitters' catsitters visit clients' pets each day, refilling food, offering fresh water, cleaning the litter box, and bringing in clients' mail. Sitters are prepared to accommodate special food and medication needs for cats, and the staff member will call the client after each visit to allow owners to check in on their pets while they are away. Offering in-home sitting reduces the stress on cats associated with travel.

Urban Out Sitters was founded in 1999 by Joseph Giannini, an Animal Advocate with the Chicago Police Department and The Dog Advisory Work Group, which protects pets from abusive owners. Mr. Giannini holds CPR and Pet First Aid certifications from the American Red Cross and is also trained as a Professional Groomer through The Academy of Dog Grooming Arts.
