History
CUP started as a one-woman-show that quickly grew into a team of dog walkers and pet sitters within the first 1-2 years. Stephanie Surjan (the owner) has a history of horse back riding and grew up with many different smaller animals in her home such as rabbits, hamsters, birds, cats and dogs (although not all at the same time). After college she started the pet sitting company as a way to fund her design practice although it quickly became something much more. Today CUP is proud to have serviced over 600 pet families in the downtown area of Chicago and created jobs for countless animal loving people as well.
Specialties
C_UP (Chicago Urban Pets) is insured & bonded. We offer weekly Dog Walking, vacation Dog Walking, Cat Sitting, Overnight Visits and Puppy Care. As a pet- parent you and your furry family member will have the same sitter and all visits and walks are reserved solely for your pet. When inquiring for our services, the pet sitter will meet with you and your pet- free of cost. This gives us the opportunity to get acquainted and set up a schedule where visits are customized to your pet's needs. We offer visits that are 30min, 45min or 60min (unless otherwise specified); after each visit an email is sent to you with a detailed summary of the visit. Each message also includes 3-5 picture of your pet which is taken at the time of the visit.
