Cat Sitting in Algonquin

“!! ☆☆☆☆☆ !! Jaime helped me out last minute (about 3 days or so before my flight) with drop in visits for my 2 parakeets and my sugar glider, all animals that I didn't have a chance to have her meet nor time for me to give her a spare copy house key before I left! I was nervous letting a stranger into my home without meeting her first but since I have cameras and it was last min, I had no other choice. Thankfully, I had absolutely ZERO reason to worry!!! Jaime took great care of my lil monsters and was incredibly respectful towards my home! I don't live in Illinois anymore but HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jaime! You won't be disappointed!”

About: I’ve grown up taking care of both cats and dogs, including small and large breeds. I currently have a chocolate lab who I walk, feed, and play with every day. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and cats, and I understand the extra patience, attention, and care they may need. I love cats and am comfortable feeding them, changing litter, playing with them, and giving them lots of attention. I’m reliable, caring, and truly enjoy being around animals! I’m home from college until August 10th. I’m available all day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8 AM–3PM for dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits for both cats and dogs! I’m also available on weekends and am flexible with timing. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and safe. I’m always mindful, respectful, and responsible when caring for pets in someone else’s home. I make sure to keep a clean and safe environment, follow instructions carefully, and handle everything with care. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home, and I’ll always do my best to make both you and your pets feel comfortable and secure.

“Rachael was very communicative & patient. She helped to alleviate any anxieties I had while traveling away from my senior cat. She sent lots of photos & kept me in the loop about my cat’s behavior, eating patterns, and overall mood. 10/10 service, glad i already have her booked for my next vacation!”

“Alyssa is the best! She is extremely reliable and sends us daily updates and photos. Knowing our cats are taken care of so well makes our vacations stress free. Huge bonus that our cats really love her and are always happy to see her.”

“Hannah is so good to our fur babies! She is reliable and flexible and has come in last minute for those surprise bookings that most pet parents come across. We appreciate Miss Hannah and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving caregiver for their pets.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Currently live with 2 dogs and 2 cats, and my family has 3 other dogs! I’ve dog-sat for many years, both staying at homes and frequently checking in. I have a natural way of connecting with animals, and I love spending time with them! During the summer, I will have availability to walk dogs, let dogs out, and care for pets during the day and evenings on weekdays. June weekdays I am available after 12, and July weekdays I am available all day. Weekend availability is not consistent throughout the summer. I live with two dogs and two cats. I walk the dogs frequently, feed them breakfast and dinner, and keep their spaces clean and safe! I monitor pets as they chew on toys, and throw away toys that could be dangerous. Managing 4 pets is a handful, but I love it!

“Dorothy was outstanding coming to our house to feed and let out our 2 dogs. She was great with the dogs, responds quickly to questions and sent many photos while we traveled out of state for a wedding. We trusted her and did not worry about our dogs. I would highly recommend her services.”

Beth M.

“Maddie was great with my little handicapped dog! Sent update & pics of Loki while she was with him. Would definitely have her back any time! Thanks from Loki & June”

June C.

“Samantha was so great with both my dogs. I have a little dog nervous around new people at first but he just loved her. Will definitely book in the future with Samantha.”

“Jessica was amazing! She had to deal with an our dog who was a bit nervous with a nervous stomach. She dealt with a couple of accident clean ups and didn’t complain a bit! We were away for 5 days for our daughter’s wedding and felt so at ease that our puppy was well taken care of! Will definitely be using Jessica again!!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and over the years I’ve turned that love into hands-on experience working in both boarding facilities and pet retail. Always looking for a reason to be around more adorable fur faces! I have both a cat and a dog and make sure they’re fully prioritized after I get home from work because they’re the best friends anyone could ask for! I care for pets based on their routine and personality, keeping things consistent and stress-free while you’re away. In your home, I follow feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and keep spaces clean (like litter boxes and water). I’m attentive to behavior and provide regular updates with photos.

“I can’t thank Ivonka enough for taking the time to watch my cats over the holidays! They all warmed up to her super quickly and I know they were in good hands this week with someone who has an amazing passion of caring for animals. I received lots of photos of them having a fun time playing and eating their meals while I was out of town. I highly recommend her services!”

“Janet, from the time we met you we felt comfort with you taking care of our baby girl Nala! You gave timely and detailed updates and loved the pics you included. We will definitely be contacting you again when we need a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

About: I'm an animal lover with a natural way with animals. Though I've only cared for roommates' pets in the past, I love to pay it forwards to everyone! In between jobs right now, I have open availability and am happy to be the last minute sitter you hope you never needed and are glad to have. Keeping them in a routine is important. I'm respectful of my clients' property and loving of their animals while also providing structure to them all

“Highly recommend! Toby is wonderful with my dogs!”

About: Hi! I grew up on a farm, so I’ve spent my whole life around animals of all sizes and personalities. Dogs have always had a special place in my heart. My husband and I have had Labrador Retrievers throughout our entire marriage—they truly are part of our family! Because of that, I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your pet with the same love and attention you give them. When your dog is with me, they’ll get plenty of good walks, belly rubs, and (of course) any treats or snacks you provide. I’ll also send regular photo updates and notes so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. In my professional life, I’m a teacher with 25 years of experience. My schedule gives me some flexibility and allows me to spend time with furry friends when I’m not in the classroom. If you choose me to care for your pet, you can feel confident knowing that a responsible, experienced, and caring person will be looking after them. Feel free to reach out anytime—I’d love to set up a meet-and-greet and get to know you and your pup! I am a teacher- so currently my hours are evenings and weekends- but starting the week after Memorial Day I am off for the summer, so I am available all day! I’ve spent my whole life around animals and have owned Labrador Retrievers for many years, so caring for dogs is second nature to me. Your dog will get regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention while I keep their routine as close to normal as possible. I’ll also send photo updates and notes so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. Feel free to reach out anytime—I’d love to set up a meet-and-greet!
