Cat Sitting Bedford Park

“I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for my kitties than Shayna T. From the start, she communicated clearly and sent frequent updates along with great pictures of my cats relaxing and playing. It made being away so much easier knowing they were in such loving and reliable hands. Thank you, Shayna!”

About: I've owned and cared for all kinds of animals my whole life. Professionally, I have experience working as a dog handler, kennel attendant, dog bather, and groomer. I also have extensive experience working and caring for cats, horses, and various small animals. My +3 years working at a dog daycare facility had me safely handling a pack of up to 25 dogs; providing exercise & engagement, soft corrections, and positive reinforcement. To do so, it was necessary to be observant and in tune with the dog's behavior and always on the lookout for any signs of stress or aggression. As a bather and groomer, I was focused on hygiene but a large aspect of the job relied on my knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques. I've owned cats my entire life and have worked with a TNR rescue the past few years getting pregnant females and unneutered male cats fixed and adopted. I also have pet care insurance with animal baliee coverage in case of emergencies. I always care for every animal as if they are my own and I understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable and loved. I work part-time on the night shift, so I'm usually out of the house between 9:30pm and 2am Monday through Friday. Outside of that- my schedule is flexible. I am available on most weekends and holidays. I only book one client at a time for pet sits and boarding, so your pet(s) will have my full attention. I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood with a huge, unfenced yard. I own a variety of animal care supplies and equipment.

About: Hi, I’m Samantha! I’ve had all types of pets my whole life and enjoy taking care of animals big or small. I’m a Veterinary Assistant with knowledge on animal temperaments and proper care. I've worked with animals with diverse medical conditions, including my own pets. I am able to recognize signs of discomfort or distress, which will allow me to notify you if any concerns arise during my visit. During my free time I spend it with my 8 fur-babies. I have experience with dogs, cats, ferrets, and guinea pigs. I would love to meet your animals! I treat each pet as if they were my own and give them all the love and attention as possible. Due to my veterinary background, I'm comfortable and experienced with 🐾cat grooming (nail trims) 🐾dog grooming (nail trims) 🐾giving subcutaneous fluids I bring professional and loving care to every visit. Whether your pet needs an attentive drop-in, an enriching walk, or a calm presence for medication time I am there to help! I am currently working full-time as a veterinary assistant. I have open availability Wednesday’s & Sunday’s. I am also available Saturday’s after 2pm. I will maintain your pets routine and closely follow care instructions given.

ᵔᴥᵔ Puppies, senior pets, anxious dogs & medications I've had pets my entire life and currently have two huskies who are a big part of my life. I've also cared for pets for family, friends, and neighbors, and I've volunteered at animal shelters, where I spent time with dogs of different ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. I know how stressful it can be to find someone you feel comfortable leaving your pet with. I’ll make each experience as easy and reassuring as possible. My goal is to eventually work with animals full-time, and Rover gives me the opportunity to do more of what I love while helping people in my community. I enjoy figuring out what makes each pet feel comfortable and loved! Adjusting to them instead of expecting them to adjust to me. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing outside, sticking to their usual routine, or simply having someone nearby, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them most comfortable and gives you peace of mind. You'll receive regular updates and photos throughout each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! ․°𓃠•°․𓃦․• My Availability ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ ⟡ Weekday evenings (after school) ⟡ Weekends ⟡ Holidays ⟡ School breaks ⟡ Summer vacation 𓆉°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ I'm flexible, responsive, and believe in open communication, so you'll always have peace of mind while your pet is in my care! Your pet's safety is always my top priority. On walks, I stay alert to our surroundings, use secure leash handling, and tailor each walk to your pet's pace and comfort level. In your home, I'll respect your space, follow your care instructions and routines, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable.

About: I treat every pup like my own. If your dog isn't napping or resting, we'll be active and engaged. That may include playing with their favorite toy, going on a walk, or getting plenty of belly rubs and pats. I believe dogs thrive on love, attention, and activity. Therefore, I make sure they're never bored or lonely. I'm currently a student at UIC with one class online and one class in person. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me plenty time for walks, drop-ins and overnight care. Your dogs safety and comfort are my top priorities. On walks, I let your pep lead the way so they can explore at their own pace. I love finding nearby parks where they can burn energy. It I'm caring for a pet in your home, I'll always follow your instructions closely to maintain their normal routine.

About: I have always been surrounded by kitties (for the most part short-haired cats) and I am well accustomed on how to attend to them. I am attentive, caring and patient. I also have a fur baby of my own who I love deeply even though she is a troublemaker haha. I also enjoy playing with them and keeping them entertained. I am happy to care for your beloved fur babies I would be available to pet sit from 10am to 7pm, mostly everyday except for Sunday, which would only be 12pm to 5pm. I am also pretty flexible with my schedule so I am understanding of any emergencies and can make exceptions for days/hours, just feel free to ask me !! I would prefer to pet sit from your home. I have my own pet and she is a little anxious so it would not be comfortable for her if I bring a friend to my home. I am very attentive when it comes to caring for their physical health like; brushing teeth, grooming, cleaning their paws and moisturizing, clipping their nails, cleaning their ears, wiping their private parts to make sure they are clean etc. I enjoy playing with cats and keeping them entertained to make sure they are not bored and can help with their development as they grow. I would also make sure their environment is clean. I would prefer to have detailed notes of who your cat is, what they like and dislike, any disabilities or behaviors etc. This way I am completely informed on how to care for them.

“Desiree watched our two senior cats while we were away on vacation. She communicated often to let us know how they were doing. We will be booking her again for future vacations.”

About: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve just really cherished being around animals, even the ones who aren’t super cuddly. I have a lot of patience and respect for each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their people are away. I work full time during the week and try to stay busy on the weekend, but I will absolutely work my weekend schedule around you/your pet’s needs. I have a big fenced backyard and plenty of space inside for house-trained pets to relax, whether that’s on the couch, a comfy chair, or the floor. I share my home with one dog, a terrier mix named Minnie. She’s playful and friendly, but if your dog prefers to keep to themselves, I can easily keep them separated. Older dogs sometimes find her a bit too energetic, while younger pups usually have a great time playing with her.

“Highly communicative and willing to drop by for a meet & greet with our dogs before the sitting date. She’s great to work with and we look forward to having her dog sit again.”

“Alicia was awesome. She took great care of my cat. She was very nice, very responsive, and went above and beyond. I will definitely use Alicia J again.”

About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages for friends and family members, in addition to raising my own cat. I have experience caring for animals with health concerns and administering medications as directed. I understand the importance of maintaining feeding schedules, providing exercise and enrichment, monitoring for changes in behavior, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am currently taking a flexible, self-paced class so I have open availability to take care of pets as needed. I have open availability on weekdays and can do weekends as needed. I have a medium sized yard for the pets to get outdoor excercise. I also have a large basement where I can set up a crate, litter box, toys, etc

About: I’m a compassionate and experienced pet caregiver with 8 years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds—from tiny kittens and puppies to large, high-energy dogs. I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines, and I take pride in providing patient, attentive, and personalized care. I have experience with puppy delivery and newborn care, which has given me a strong foundation in gentle handling, close monitoring, and supporting pets during important early stages of life. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, walks, litter care, medication, or simply providing calm companionship, I always prioritize safety, comfort, and love. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a stress-free, nurturing environment so both pets and owners can feel completely at ease while they’re in my care 🤍🐶🐱 Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my day to prioritize feedings, walks, playtime, and quality time so each pet receives consistent, attentive care in a calm and loving environment. I care for pets by following their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide attentive care including feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, medication if needed, and lots of love. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and treating every pet like family.

About: I am trained as a Certified Veterinary Technician that has given me the skills and knowledge to provide safe, attentive care. I’m better equipped to recognize potential health concerns, handle unexpected situations, and know when a pet may need veterinary attention. I truly love caring for animals and meeting new pets, taking the time to learn their unique personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I currently work part-time at a veterinary clinic four days a week. Your pet must be okay with being alone during normal work hours, but otherwise I can provide plenty of companionship, care, and attention. I do not offer boarding in my home, but I am happy to provide house sitting in your home. I will treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own, leaving everything just as I found it.

About: Hello , I’m Timiya! I’ve been around animals my whole entire life. My great uncle taught me everything I need to know about animals; from how to take care of him to what they need to survive and how to make them feel comfortable and safe .He made sure I understood that humans are no better than animals we all need love and patience . My job is to create a beautiful fun loving friend I am your friends so that they can be understood and cared for and loved . For overnight pet I require the owner to equip the pet with a overnight bag! Of course with a pet like items.Here at my Pet Paradise your pet will be in the best care. I have a number of neighborhood animals Ive take care of on a daily basis. Along with a silly family dog named Nova that's obsessed with playfully attacking toes. I typically Allow pets to have the ability to freeroam in the mostly because its a new space for them. A lot of pets get shy and nervous so i allow them to feel the place out. So they know there safe and that they're no vet around the corner. Lol 😆

About: I’ve had my dog Ace (Cane Corso/Lab mx) for 4 years. Although my family has been fortunate enough to take care of him together, I understand the struggle of finding someone who will care properly for your pet as you do. Pets are our chosen family, and I will ensure your pet is properly cared for. In addition to my dog, I have 3 years of experience in animal husbandry from my previous position as a animal care technician I work another during the week. My most consistent availability is Saturday and Sundays (mornings, afternoons, early evening) for pet sitting and/or walking your pet. I walk my dog 3x a day. I am also sure to change and clean his water bowl multiple times a day. Any special instructions or requests for your pet with be met

About: I'm intimately familiar with cats and their body language and have been taking care of my silly accident-prone orange boy for 6 years. For the past few years, I've taken care of multiple cats at a time, have rescued kittens, and house-sat for other cat owners. I know how to handle the crazy kitties that may love or hate strangers. I go to classes every weekday until 2:30pm, freeing up my entire afternoon to care for people's pets! I also have my own car, allowing me to travel more reliably. I brush, feed, water, and play with clients' pets while remaining respectful of their homes. I am a quick learner when it comes to understanding an animal's preferences, including sitting with them the entire time they eat to help them feel secure.
