Emmy
Owner & Pack Leader
Hello, fellow pet lovers! I’m Emmy Gjurgjiali, proud owner of Alby Pet Care. My toy poodle, Alby, is my world and I couldn’t trust anyone (except for my mom) to take care of him in my absence so I created a platform that prioritizes pet safety and well being above all else.
Aside from our undying love for animals, our pack is background checked, pet CPR/First Aid certified, licensed, insured, and bonded. Whether you need a dog walker in West Town, cat visits in Lincoln Park, in-home daycare in Uptown, in-home overnight care in West Loop, or puppy care in South Loop, we’ve got your tail covered 365 days a year! We cannot wait to meet you and your fur family!
Bianca
General Manager
Hi! My name is Bianca and I am the General Manager for Alby Pet Care. My experience runs the gambit from operations, to research and event management across several industries. I’m proud to utilize my skills within an organization built on providing intentional pet care across Chicago. I’ve spent some time as a pet sitter prior to this position and I used to have a pup of my own before she passed away a couple years ago. Now I spend my time coordinating a team of sitters excited to support pet owners who want nothing but the best for their fur babies.
Asya
Office Manager & Pet Care Provider
My name is Asya Hill, I am a long time pet lover and owner. I have owned a number of dogs and cats in the past but I currently have two cats, Gracie (16) and Onyx (4). Outside of being a pet owner I also have ample experience in the pet care field. In 2018 I began volunteering at The Anti-Cruelty Society as an Adoption Center volunteer. During my time there I learned pet handling skills, worked with a variety of animals, and fostered pets who have been temporarily displaced. Since 2020 I have also worked as an independent pet sitter across the Chicago area, working with both dogs and cats of all types.
Natalie
Pet Care Provider
My name is Natalie, and I am an experienced pet caregiver who loves all animals. I have cared for dogs and cats (and even chickens!) and am experienced in caring for puppies and kittens as well as senior animals. Also, I have lived in Chicago for 20 years and love to be outside, so I am familiar with most neighborhoods and walking routes. I am excited to meet you and your furry family members!
Julia
Pet Care Provider
My name is Julia – I’m a college student and an artist! Born and raised in the Northwest Chicago Suburbs, I moved to the city 5 years ago. As an avid animal lover, caring for pets is one of my biggest passions. I’m a well-trained and experienced dog walker & pet caretaker, including professional experience. I got my first dog, Louie the yorkie-poo, when I was 10 and he is my whole heart. I potty trained him, taught him 10+ tricks, and walked him everyday until I moved out for college. I’ve taken care of my family’s pets and a lot of neighbors’ pets, as a child until I moved out, including birds and fish! I have professional dog walking experience along with a year’s experience as a dog handler and kennel attendant for a boarding/daycare facility. My ultimate goal is to ensure the happiness, health, and love of every animal I meet. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and care needs, treating them as if they’re my own! Whether it’s walking, feeding, or providing companionship, I am dedicated to creating a fun and nurturing environment. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and provide them with exceptional care!
